FROM THE MELTING POT
REGIMENT Is RAISED BY LITTLE
GRAY NUN-SISTER MARIANNE
lNSTiLLS PATRIOTISM INTO
BOYS OF SLUMS.

A little gray nun has brought out
Of the melting pot of New York's East
Side a regiment of soldiers ready to
give their services and lives if need
be to the United States.
Sister Marianne of Jesus is
mother of four companies of GO
lumbus Volunteers" Italians, Syrians,
Russians, Jews and youths from
every race that goes to make up that
great cosmopolitan population of9the
East Side are members of her troop
Twice week for more than year
they have heard from the lips of Sis
ter Marianne Of Jesus of the debt of
gratitude and honor they owe to the
United States, and the soft spoken
little nun has instilled in them spirit
ed patriotism.
AS Mother Superior of the Institute
OF Christian Doctrine, Sister Marianne
was quick to recognize the need for
military training among the youth of
the East Side. The National Guard
made no appeal to these boys, few of
them went to school and none of them
could afford to join organizations
which might give them military train
ing.
So Sister Marianne took it upon
herself to stand sponsor for the mill,

Archbishop Of Bagdad
HEAD OF HISTORIC SEE is
FRENCH CARMELITE.

BY strange coincidence the Cath
Ollie Archbishop of Bagdad, Mgr. Jean
Drure, Discalced Carmelite, was re-
ceiVed in audience at Rome by the
Holy Father on March II, the very
day that the news of the entry of
the British troops into Bagdad reach
ed London. Mgr Drure is a French
man. He was born at Digoin, in the
diocese of Autun, in 1859. He was
elected to the Archiepiscopal See Of
Bagdad in 1902. He is also Apostolic
Delegate Tor Mesopotamia, Kurdistan,
and part of Armenia. The Latin See
contains the Missions of Bagdad,
Mardin, and Mossoul. The first Latin
Bishop was Timothy Percy, in 1882.
Until 1912 the Bishop resided at
lSpahan, in Persia. In Bagdad there
are about 10000 Catholics. The Dis
calced Carmelites have, or at least
they had until the present war, a
flourishing college in the town, in
which there were 200 pupils, whom
the masters instructed in all the sci
ences, as we'll as in the English,
French, Arabian, and Turkish Ian
guages.

THOUGHTS ON CATHOLIC READING

a half buying well printed and well
bound copy of the seventy-two books
of the, Scriptures.
We have Catholic writer's OF ability
and power, | need only mention the
names OF such story tellers as Robert
Hugh Benson, of happy memory
Frank Spearman, and Father Finn,
or such essayists as Agnes Repplier,
and Doctor O'Hagan, while in relig-
ious books we are this year enriched
by Father Byrne's contribution to
literature, Christmas and Easter
Chimes a little book that should have
place beside the Following Of
Christ" by a Kempis.
AS great scholar as DR.. Shields
of the Catholic University of Washing
ton, working with Dr.. Pace of the
same institution, has not thought it
beneath him to write for the growing
children a series of books,-'The Cath
Ollie Education Series" which, ii given
to child year by year, would enable
him to have nice little library OF
his own in a few years. For very
young children, Grace Keen has pre-
pared a beautiful book in which the
catechism lessons are taught i'll pic
lures, rhymes, and songs, in the most
pleasing manner
There is at the present no lack of
interesting Catholic literature, and
the only reason they are not in the
bookstores is that we never ask for
them. Booksellers do not at all look
On the profits from the sale of Catholic
books as tainted money, but the one
that knows the name of Catholic
publisher or has a Catholic catalogue
in his store is as scarce as the pro
verbal hens teeth. This condition
can only be remedied by ourselves.
Unfortunately the majority of Catho-
lies in most need of books have an
impression that publications of their
faith are limited to prayer books and
other books Of devotion with hard
shiny black backs that are modestly
offered for sale in the parlors Of re-
ligious houses. We really have a di-
versified, and constantly improving
literature, and our bookstores would
be well pleased to cater to our wants
in this line if we would supply them
with the name of the book and the
publisher.
Besides books, useful and ever
welcome gift in a house where there
are growing children is a newspaper
or magazine Many 2 time Such q
visitor has kept the faith alive in a
family with little other chance Of re-
ligious instructions. One family of
ten children, who were raised on the
very outskirts of a big parish, seemed
to keep the faith mainly through the
visits Of the Ave Maria for which
their father had become q life sub
scriber while yet a young man, and
the True Witness and Catholic ChrOni-
che, sent to our own home by a
thoughtful uncle is one of the
pleasantest recollections of my child
hood. The same uncle used to sup
pliment ihis generosity with a sub
scription occasionally for an interest
ing magazine. From one between
green covers, called THE Harp" a
certain member of the family imbibed
a love for fairy lore and detestation
for "PerfidiOus Albion" that "age can
not Wither nor custom STALE" but it
is to be supposed that the religious
matter of the chronicle" also made
its impression

UNIVERSITY LIBRARY
OF SEMITIC AND EGYPTIAN LAM
GUAGEs AND LiTERATURES.

The library of the Department Of
Semitic and Egyptian Languages and
I4iteratures at the Catholic Uniyer-
sity OF America is almost exclusively
the property Of Prof. II. HyVernat.
1t contains nearly $4,000 volumes
and pamphlets carefully selected for
the work that is done in the depart
ment.
Apart from works Of a more gen
eral nature, such as catalogues of
books and manuscripts, encyclo-
pedias, collected essays, etc, the
library is divided into two main
branches: the one having reference
to the Bible and the other to the
Oriental Christian literature and
churches. The Biblical branch con-
tains not only works on the Bible
proper, but includes also all works
which bear on the Biblical languages,
texts, Interpretation, history, etc,
whether directly Or indirectly. In
the section Of the Bible proper, the
student has at his disposal various
polyglOttS, the standard editions OF
the original texts (ILebreW, Aramaic,
Creek and OF all the principal YER
sions: Coptic, Syriac, Armenian,
Arabic, Ethiopic, Targums, Latin,
ITALIA and Vulgate, including the
great work Of Sabatier on the italia.
In this section are also to be found
various scientific commentaries, Cath
Ole, Protestant and Jewish, with
numerous pamphlets bearing on some
individual passages or topics.
Closely allied to the Bible and also
conducive to it's proper understand
ing are the Apocryphal Books both
of the Old and Of the New Tesla.
ment Most of these are to be found
in the library in their original Ian
guage when possible, or in some early
translation; among these we may
mention the collection of Charles for
the Old Testament and of Lepsius for
the New.

SOME AFTER CHRIST M A S
THOUGHTS.
written for The Catholic Bulletin by
Helen Hughes Hielecher)

Now that Christmas is past and
slider what benefit the holiday brought
us or our friends.
We have all spent money, let the
| reader count up how much, and we
have all gotten returns in the way OF
the satisfaction that comes from Civ
ing, but there are few of us who do
not feel that we could have done bet
ter with our money if we had given
the matter more time and considers
ton.
OF course, in families where a
ramping champing Santa Claus domi-
mates the scene, the mechanical toys,
the sawdust filled dolls, the miniature
weapons Of war, the skates, the sled,
and the drum, are natural suggestion,
but many Of us still look on Christ
mas as the feast of the Little Christ
Child, and would wish that our gift
might be something to bring the
hearts of our friends nearer Him.
This longing can be well satisfied by
making our gift a book. In books we
have something to help develop the
heart Of the child, form the mind of
the growing boy or girl, and comfort
and cheer old age.
We would be more inclined to this
form of gift giving if we only realized
the want OF good literature there is
in the ordinary home. This has been

it has often been my lot to face wait

the travelling book agent, a factor
in the distribution Of Catholic litera-
ture, now completely lost, more is the
pity, for we have not developed any
institution to take his place.
1t is a strange thing that the great
effort for the spread Of literature seen
in the cheap books, and circulating
and public Libraries and what not,
have never even touched the hem of
the garment Of Catholic literature.
The chasm between the reader and
the publisher is as wide as it was
twenty-five years ago. The publisher
is surely not to blame, for he has met
the demand for cheaper books on a
scale that must mean little profit on
such small sales. Even the Bible,
which is treated with such respect in
Catholic houses that it is handed
down from one generation to the

Towards Preparedness
WHAT UNIVERSAL MILITARY
TRAINING WOULD DO.

Among those who advocate univer-
sal military training is Cardinal Glib
bons. Some of the reasons advanced
in it's favor are the following:
/. 1t would apply alike to poor boy
and rich boy, put both in the same
tent, lead to a better understanding
between them, make for a better de-
mocracy and eliminate caste and snob-
berry in America
2. 1t would take the lad in his
nineteenth year when his earning
power is small and before he has I'M
dertaken the marriage relationship
and upbuild his physique, teach him
respect for his flag, and make him a
trained defender of his country.
3. 1t would not put the boy into
regular, professional army, but would
send him back into the paths of in
dustry a stronger and broader char
acter.
4. 1t would make the trained lad
the chief protector of the nation and
thus relieve husband and father, the
mainstay of the family, of industry
and commercial enterprise, of military
service.
5. 1t would make the weak lad vir-
lie and the strong lad sympathetic and
respectful.
6. 1t would be actually universal"
in that wealth could not purchase i'm
munity and all mentally and physical
ly fit would have to train.
Z. 1t would create a new national
morale and insure for the future
strong fathers, healthy men and
women in the centuries to come.
s. 1t would be the antithesis of
militarism, as under universal mill
tary training the defense of the coun-
try Except for the first line) would
rest upon trained citizens. This
would render a large standing army
unnecessary and get entirely away
from militarism.
8. 1t would revive patriotism in
America-not the Grassland and pa
rade-thestreet sort-but real patriot
ism which says that inasmuch as all
Of us share alike the boon of free
dom, likewise all of us shall share the
nations perils and responsibilities;
all of us, in short, must so love our
country as to train and be ever ready
to defend her honor.
10. 1t would make America ready
and therefore safe.

THE FIRST PRIEST
FATHER ISAAC JOGUES IN MAN
HAITIAN - YOUNG FRESHMAN
FIRST TO GO TO CONFESSION
IN WHAT Is NOW NEW YORK
CITY.

The story of the first visit of a
Catholic priest to the Island of Man
haitian is told most interestingly by
William Harper Bennett in his Cath
Ollie Footsteps in Old New York:
I'm 1913, it was only seventeen years
after the purchase of the island from
the Indians, when sloop from
RensselaerWick, now Albany, land
ed at the wharf a bent broken figure
of a man whom the kindly Dutch
minister, Dominic Megapolensis, con-
Quoted into the presence of the gov
ernOr.
!. "A strange pair they made-the
portly minister in his clerical black,
and, leaning upon his arm, the bent,
broken figure partly Indian and
partly European, in rags that bare
ly covered him.
Dominic Megapolensis presented
the strange visitor as Father Isaac
Jogues, a Jesuit priest of New
France, who had been captured and
cruelty tortured by the Mohawk In
dams, ransomed by the good bur-
gesses of Rensselaerwick, and had, at
the governors command been escort
ed by the minister and burgesses to
New Amsterdam, there to wait the
sailing of a ship to France No Wis
itor to our city ever received a kind
er welcome than was accorded the
martyr priest by the Calvinist Dutch
of New Amsterdam. His haggard
countenance, drawn and scanned, his
MANNED hands, his evident spiritual
ity and the pathetic story of his suf-
ferings evoked the deepest sympathy
of the people. AS he was leaving
the fort one day a young man en-
ployed by a merchant of the town
ran to him, fell upon his knees, seized
the mutilated hands, kissed them
ands with tears streaming from his
eyes, exclaimed, Martyr of Jesus
Christ! Martyr of Jesus Christi
The humble priest, confused and en-
barrassed by the demonstration, en-
braced him affectionately, and in
quiring if he was Calvinist, was
told he was q Polish Lutheran Pass
ing house near the fort, he glanced
in at the open door and was aston
ished to see on the chimney piece
pictures of Our Lady and st. Alloy
sius GonZaga. He learned upon in
quiry that the mistress of the house
was the Portuguese Catholic wife of
the ensign of the garrison, but, I'M
fortunately, she knew no language
with which Father Jogues was ia
miliar. 1t was a great joy to his
heart one day to have young Irish
man just landed from a Maryland
ship, come to him to the fort and ask
permission to approach the tribunal
Of penance. And thus for the first
time the Sacrament of Penance was
administered in Manhattan Island.

ATTACKING THE CHURCH
A BLOW TO ANTl-CATHOLlC SOCi-
ETlES IN MISSOURI.

In one very important regard the
people of Missouri are going to prove
to their fellow-citizens in other states
that they are sincerely DESTROYS of liv
ing up to the reputation for a certain
amount OF inquisitiveness which is
generally accorded to them by those
compatriotS. There is a secret anti
Catholic organization in the largest
city OF that state which calls itself

big daily published in st. Louis-the
Republic has been making efforts
to find out who are the leading spirits
OF the League" and it has discov-
cred, amongst other things, that these
bigots have made it practice to in
terview candidates for city or county
offices, and to offer them their en-
dorsement, ''for a consideration"
ranging from SIS up to $4,000. These
individuals and several of their abet-
tors oliticians"-are now facing
prison terms under the Corrupt Prac-
tees Act" But this is not all. The
disclosures of "The Republic" have
aroused the indignation of the state
legislators, who are now in session,
and a bill has been drafted which will
exterminate all future independent

organizations in Missouri. The Halves
bill provides that all secret political
organizations make public the names
OF their officers and directors, and that
when their organizations recommend
the election of candidates for political
offices the officials issuing sample bal
lots must sign them. q

What is the meaning of the differ
ent coIored vestments worn in the
Mass?
White, used on most of the feasts
of Our Lord, on those OF the Blessed
Virgin, the angels and the saints who
were not martyrs, is symbolic of in
nocence and JOY. Red used on Pente-
cost, on the feasts of the Holy Cross,
apostles and martyrs, is symbolic of
the fire of divine charity and the
blood Of martyrs; green, used on the
Sundays after Epiphany and after
Pentecost, and on ordinary days on
which no special feast is celebrated,
is symbolic Of hope and the desire Of
heaven; violet, used in Advent and
Lent and on vigils and the Ember
days, is symbolic Of penance and fast
ing; black, used on Good Friday and
in masses for the dead, is symbolic
Of death and darkness, While the
white used in connection with black
vestments symbolizes the hope Of
eternal light for the soul in the dark
ness Of purgatory. White, in the vest
ments, reminds us that we should
lead pure and holy lives; red, that we
must live by divine charity; green,
that we should put our hope in
heaven; violet, that we must do pen
ance for our sins; black, that we must
die and that, while in life, we should
pray for the dead White and gold
