DIOCESE OF ST. CLOUD
DiOceaan Correspondent Rev. A
Preusser, the Cathedral ST. Cloud.

st. Cloud: The first of series of
community meetings at the st. Cloud
Institute during the winter months
will be held next Sunday afternoon
at 4 p M. These meetings will be
continued every Sunday throughout
the winter, and arrangements have
been made for the able discussion of
large number of questions of COM
mon interest.
The largest class in the history of
the local council of Knights of CO.
lumbus was received last Sunday.
The rs candidates were initiated in
the presence of about 600 Knights.
The first two degrees were exempli-
fed by the local council, while the
last was in charge of District Deputy
j. J. Nolan. After the initiation a
| banquet was served in the Cathedral
| auditorium followed by smoker. One
| of the main topics of discussion was
the necessity of recreational centers
| for the men in service.
| In a letter addressed to the priests
and the people of the diocese the Rt.
Rev. Bishop calls attention to the
necessity of providing funds for the
support of voluntary army chaplains,
and the need of a similar fund from
l which soldier boys might be provided
with prayer-books, rosaries, etc. He
emphasizes the fact that the only ones
authorized to work among the sol
,diers, are the Y. M. c.. A. and the
Knights of Columbus, and that there
fore all relief work must be done
through these organizations. The
knights of Columbus have volun
/ teered to solicit funds for this pur
i pose and are making a house-to-houst
campaign in the diocese this week
and the Bishop urges all to contribute
/ to this cause cheerfully and gener
!. ously.

ST. ANTHONY OF PADUA HON.
ORED IN EDlFIcE DEDICATED
LAST SUNDAY I'M FARGO, NJ. ..
BISHOP o'RElLLY oFFiclAT-
ED.

Prominent clergy of Fargo, Moor
head and Grand Forks officiated at
the dedication of the ST. Anthony of
Padua Church, Eighth avenue and
Tenth street south, Fargo, n. D.,
Sunday morning, November IS.
The dedicatory sermon was deliv-
cred by Right Reverend Bishop
O'Reilly. Solemn Mass, which fol-
lowed thetfite of dedication, was cele-
brated by Mgr. j. A. Lemieux of ST.
Michaels Pro-Cathedral. at Grand
Forks, assisted by Father Alfred of
ST. Josephs parish of Moorhead and
Father Ramsbottom of Sacred Heart
academy, as deacon and subdeacon,
respectively. Rev. Vincent J. Ryan,
chancellor of the Fargo diocese was
master of the ceremonies.
The Right Reverend Bishop
O'Reilly, in delivering his sermon,
stated that nearly 1000 years ago a
man lived in Palestine, and died
young, and that everything about His
| death would denote that His life was
a failure and that His work was
doomed to perish.
He was pursued in His sufferings
and in His tomb by undying hatred,

Tom Watson as Seen by
a Georgia State Official
His Favorite Weapons Turned Against
Him.

Tom Watson of unfortunate
notoriety is reaping rich harvest
of pretty much the same epithets as
he has been hurting at his Catholic
fellow citizens. Unable to make any
striking success with the exploitation
of his anti-Catholic issues he has, as
is we'll known, turned the energies of
his misguided talents against the re-
Gently enacted draft law.
In doing so he has stirred up an
opposition, quite as bitter in it's way,
as Watson's own unreasoning cam
paign against everything Catholic. We
merely subjoin as an Illustration of
this anti-Watson sentiment an extract
of a speech recently held in Buford,
Ca, and quoted in the Atlanta consti-
tuition, one of the leading papers in
the South.
In an address on Education and
Citizenship" State Superintendent of
Schools M. l.. Britain said, after
speaking of his own son having en-
listed for the war, But in the sad
ness there is a pride in his response
to his country's call and I would not
change places with those of you in
Gwinett who have been led into trea-
son through following that combina-
ton of Judas 1scariot and Benedict
Arnold called Thomas E. Watson. Al
ways a common liar by nature and
character assassin by trade, he first
abused President Wilson for his long
patience under German injuries and
now that war is declared tries to
weaken his arm by counseling his de-
luded followers to resist the law of
the land which has shielded their
Stacker hides. Will you follow such a
yellow dog?"
This is strong language and we
quote it merely as an example of
how chickens come home to roost.
Watson has but set the style for his
! own undoing. The citizens of Georgia
seem quite capable of telling Watson
in language he surely can understand,
| because of such familiar ring, just
how highly he ranks as a prophet
among his own.

AS the love is greater so must the
deeds of love be greater.

AS the love is greater so must the
deeds of love be greater.
An organized Catholic charity that
in it's worldwide extension, its scope
and the numbers of its members will
exceed the average of the Red Cross
Society is that great lay organization
the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul.
The work of this Society Is not spas
modic, nor is it confined to sudden
or extraordinary phases of human suf-
fering. 1t is a continuous, persist
ent work, done quietly though none
the less effectively. Like most Cath
Ollie charity the work of the Saint
Vincent de Paul Society is purely gra-
tuitous but both highly scientific and
systematic. Long years of experience
with an organization as widespread as
the Catholic Church has given the So
ciety tact and knowledge akin to
that of the Church itself. It's work
is not merely almsg:ving and the re-
lief of the immediate necessities of
the poor. 1t attacks the roots OF
poverty, both social and individual
and relieves the evils that are the
cause or effect of poverty.
Wars alternate with peace and the
sutferings OF war If not forgotten
when peace comes are remembered
with pride and those who suffered are
honored among men. The poor are
always with us and the relief of the
poor is a never ending work. In the
sight of the world there is nothing
picturesque or heroic in the work of
the Saint Vincent de Paul Society.
There are no honors or decorations for
it's members. Inspired by supernatur-
al motives, they expect supernatural
rewards and are little concerned with
the appreciation of the world.

But as far as spasmodic galvaniza-

But as far as spasmodic galvaniza-
ton goes, Billy Sunday has won a
passing triumph. Energy and popular
favor are fine pair. With these
hitched to light-built creed Billy
has Phoebus-like essayed to drive this
chariot of righteousness across the
New York sky. The Rockefeller pat
ronage must have been a great drag.
The gulf that lies between the Stand
ard Oil and the Sermon on the Mount
is one that even a tight-rope walker
like Sunday did not attempt to cross.
People are willing to admit that he is
not out for money and yet the rich
are with him. Certain texts have to
be politely left in the background In
deed most churches have long since
done the very same.
There have been no prophets in
this war. If the good God sent Billy
Sunday, He seems to have done so in
the same lightness of heart with which
America has taken Him. AS this
great republic approaches her trial
and agony she may or may not remem-
Der with pathetic smile the gyra-
tons OF the strange messenger who
turned spiritual somesaults by diver
sion, or preparation for the fast-com-
ing apocalypse. She may think of him,
simply because no other voice was
raised in those latter days, and per-
haps because she had deserved no 9TH
er prophet. We do not mean to say
that it pleased the humor of Provi-
dence to make fun of good Americans,
but we feel there is pathos of con-
trast in the supreme destiny America
has taken upon herself in the curious
laughter-swept antics in the Taber-
nacle which have preceded her entry
into the war.
1t is an agony to many that there
has been such slight signs of the Sec
ond Coming in this time and that the
schools of the Prophets seem closed
No Divine manifestation has been
youchsafed, but had He come and
stood awhile at the gates of the coun-
try that calls itself Goods own" we
feel that He would have wept over
New York and babe the daughters of
America weep for their children as He
once counseled the women of Jerusa-
lem. He would have come sadly no
doubt and spoken in perfectly empty
churches. His words would have been
as an ointment unto burial and His
voice benediction unto pain. But
He would not have awaited to make
New York weep. This Mr.. Sunday re-
allied, so he made New York grin and
the spiritual and permanent value of
his mission is exactly that of good
and cheerful grin in the face of escha-
tological possibilities. So we come
back to the choice of laughter or of
mysticism, of the human or the Divine
attitude toward what is terrible in
life and unknown after life. The Cath
olic Church has long fallen back up
on mysticism. But Americans are
free to mourn or grin in spirit as they
approach their portion of pain and
curtains of fire.

unreaIized Extent Of the
{ athoIic Charities,

The Feast of Saint Vincent de Paul,
which is celebrated on Thursday of
this week, suggests a phase of Cath
olic activity which is rarely appre-
ciated at it's proper value. Even Cath
olics do not seem to realize the won
derful extent of the charities. of the
Church.
Just now the word on every lip is
the Red Cross Society. To super
fetal observer it might appear that the
Catholic Church and individual Cath
olics are Indifferent to the humanita-
rian work of this great organization
1t is quite true that the clergy and
Catholic laity are not making Red
Cross that are being made by some
non Catholic organizations. It is not
true that Catholics are remiss in their
material and moral support Of this
work of mercy. Organized works of
mercy and charity are no novelty in
the Catolic Church. Today as in the
past Catholic charitable organizations
do much greater work than does
even the Red Cross Society.
In passing two things may be men
toned in connection with the Red
Cross Society that seem to be I'M
known to the general public. The very
insignia of the Society is Catholic
The Red Cross as badge of minis

Camillus, to whom Pope Sixtus v

tlefield. Another fact that is seldom
noted in that Florence Nightingale,
the founder of the present Red Cross
movement, modelled her organization
after the Catholic nursing Sisterhoods
whose efficiency in caring for the
wounded French during the Crimean
War was in striking contrast to the
methods of those who nursed the
wounded of the English Army.
In all ages of the Church there have
been organizations for the care of the
sick and wounded in war or in times
of great distress. The oldest nurs.
ing organization in the world is the
Alexian Brotherhood, which was
| founded in the fourteenth century.

ters of hundreds of religious orders
pass from ward to ward and bed to
bed in quiet ministration. The nuns
go out like mendicants of old begin
for their charities. We daily see
them on the streets like ghosts of
Medieval saints.
The unity of the Red Cross is for
system and efficiency. Catholic or
ganized charity is patterned after the
unity of the Church. It is united in
Christ and in His Name feeds the hun
cry and binds up wounds. 1t is not
suffering humanity but the Suffering
