Queen Thanks The Pope

After the escape of the Rumanian
royal family from the air-bombard-
ment of their summer palace the
Holy Father sent a telegram of con-
graduation to the queen, to which
she has replied as follows: "The
king, myself, and our children, ex-
press to your Holiness with respect
and emotion our profound gratitude
for the sentiments of noble Christian
solicitude inspiring the message your
holiness was good enough to send on
the occasion of the attempt from
which Divine pity preserved us and
our family"

HOME FOR CATHOLIC GIRLS AT

In line with the work already under
way under the name of the Newman
Club at the University of Texas at
Austin by the Paulist Fathers, home

WHAT SCIENCE OWES TO THE
CATH OLIC CHURCH-CATHO-
LICS IN THE LEAD WHEREVER
SCIENCE OR DISCOVERY ARE
ENTIONED-THE CHURCH FOS-
TERED ALL THE ARTS AND
SCIENCES OF HUMAN INTER-
EST AND PROGRESS.
(By William l.. j. Griffin, A. NJ.
.. .. S.

In the writings of some Of our nom
at public gatherings, we are told
what a terrible institution the Cath
olic Church is. Many of these writ
ers and speakers are no doubt sim
cere and really believe the things of
which they write or speak. From
personal experience, however l be-
lieve that the average non-Catholic is
more than fair-minded; that he be-
lieves little of the charges made by
such speakers and writer's.
There is another class of non
Catholics, i. e., the well meaning and
what we might call the sincere in
their belief. They believe everything
they read or hear that is against the
Catholic Church, but never ask them
selves if the charge is true. To an
other class of non-Catholics belong
what we might call the agitators,
those who stir up the other classes
by their diabolical charges against
the Catholic Church This class as a
rule can see no good in anything con-
nected with the Catholic Church.
They claim, 1t was the Catholic
Church that fQr centuries kept the
people in ignorance, it prevented the
advancement of the arts and sciences,
it is plotting to overthrow govern
ments, and even trying to make
America Catholic"
Catholics in Science.
It is charged that the Catholic
Church forbids dissecting of the
human body and if Catholic even
attempts to dissect the human body
he is communicated. In the Golden
Age of Anatomy, it was the Catholic
Church that fostered the science.
Vesalius, often called the Father of
Anatomy, went to Italy for post
graduate work in anatomy, as did
most of the medical men of that
period who wished to increase their
knowledge. Linacre, Caius, Columbus,
Caesalpinus were but few of the
many. If the Church forbids the
study of anatomy by excommunicat.

ton, how could Surgery advance, yet
the Father of Surgery, is Guy de
Chauliac. Ambrose Pare, who is
sometimes called the Father of Sur
gerry, received Christian burial. Pare
discarded many of the old forms OF
surgery, and he gave to the world ir

in his chosen calling. To his ira

THE BISHOP OF VERDUN
PRELATE VISITS CITY MADE
FAMOUS BY SIEGE.

Mgr. Genisty, the brave Bishop of
Verdun, has been visiting once more
his episcopal city to offer the army
and it's chiefs his thanks for the
glorious year just finished. After a
service for the military in the bonn
barded Cathedral, the Bishop made
the tour of the easements of the city
accompanied by the archpriest.
Everywhere he was received with
warm hospitality by the military, who
are now practically the only inhabit-
ants of the city. On Monday he met
a delegation from the press of Paris,
who were visiting the fortress, and
on Tuesday similar Canadian mis-
sion, with one of the cabinet minis
ters and several general officers.

POST CHAPEL FOR

APPROPRIATION BILL FOR ARMY
INCLUDES $4,000 FOR UNDE-
NOMINATloNAL ARMY CHURCH
IN THE WEST.

Through the efforts of Representa-
tive Julius Kahn of California a pro-
vision has been included in the annual
appropriation bill for the army for
$4,000 for the erection of a post
chapel at the Preside of San Fran
cisco, Cal. This chapel will be unde-
nominational in character and suit
able for Catholic and Protestant serv-
ices alike. Efforts have been made
by our Catholic thaplains stationed
in this vicinity fer the erection of a
Catholic chapel, but were disapproved
by the War Department. This chapel,
however, erected at public expense,
will serve every purpose for Catholic
services.

sionary is in his chosen ground, that,
however heavy the sacrifice, he still
may at least retain life, and that the
equipment essential to an effective
preaching be in some measure secured

tion in the labors of the missionaries

give, and give most cheerfully-

Of the crew, Reb Russell, has been
backward all year. Russell was the
mainstay in 1916. Faber is right, as
is Williams, and Jim Scott and Eddie
CicOtte will have regular berths, at
least in the early part of the fight.
Boston goes to bat with the 1916
lineup, a wonderfully brainy team
that plays head-up baseball all the
way. It is not a vicious swatting
combination, but has the greatest de-
tense in all departments in the game.
The Yanks have the same team that
went out in front last year and
stayed there until injuries scuttIed
the ship. Donovan is better fortified
with reserves this season. Fielder
Jones starts with a combination of
cTipples. It took him months to
start the club last year, but undoubt-
edly it has absorbed some Of his sys-
tenn. Cleveland has Speaker. It has
added Joe Wood. The Indians will be
in the fight, Washington and Phila-
delphia need not be seriously con-
sidered. Neither is strong, Griff hav-
ing his 1916 lineup, and Mack haV-
ing failed in his efforts to make a silk
purse out of a sOw's ear.
