"Thy Will Be Done" THY will be
DONE! is reported to have been the
Pope's exclamation when he rea-
llzed that Americas participation IN
the war was inevitable. He said he
had considered it his duty as head
OF Catholicism to oppose the war
since it's beginning and to do every
thing in his power to prevent its

as possible from its horrors. But,
he concluded, 'evidently the designs

Devotion to Our Lady.-The great
square in front OF ST. Isaac's Cathe-
dral, Petrograd, and the gardens in
| the Nevsky Prospekt near the kazan
| Cathedral have again been the scenes
| OF bloody incidents. 1t was near the
| kaZan Cathedral that the Tsar Alex
! ander IL was assassinated as he drove
to the Winter Palace on March Is,
1881, and over the spot a great memo
| rial church was erected. Always dur
ing the midday hours long lines OF
| deyout Worshippers assemble to kiss
the famous kaZan image OF the Vlr-
gin. When a priceless jewel was
| stolen from the image some years
ago. PetrOgrad was in a state of panic.
Archbishop Talbot.-The glorious
name of Peter Talbot, Archbishop Of
Dublin, is restored to the list Of Irish
martyrs whose cause was opened a
year or so ago in the name Of the
| Holy See in the Curia of the Most
Rev. w. j. Walsh, Archbishop of Dub
| lin. The list Of priests, men and
women included in this apostolic proc
ess goes into near 200. On the APP
pearance OF the decree Of rites five
years ago containing these names it
was found that that Of Archbishop
Talbot had been discarded though he
had languiShed in a dungeon until
| death had released him from his suf-
ferinSs, in 1880 An appeal to the
Holy Father in the Sacred Congrega-
ton of Rites has had the effect Of re-
placing his name on the list Of the
shining phalanX of Irish martyrs.
A Diocesan Museun.-The illustri-
Gus Bishop of Barcelona, Spain, DR..
Reig, who has given such a notable
impulse to Catholic activity in every
order, has added new laurels to his
passionate by inaugurating a short
time ago diocesan archaeological
museum. In his pastoral visits the
Prelate, whose artistic culture is well
known, was struck by the great num-
: Der and variety Of valuable objects of
art which We're lying unknown and
unappreciated in the parOchial
: churches. Here, for instance, he
| would find part of valuable triptych
| serving as door to a sacristy PresO,
J there an instrument for making hosts
decorated with the most beautiful en-
cravings. He at once set about col
| lecting all these neglected artistic
, treasures and riches of his diocese;
, the result is that in the short space
Of a year he has gathered a most
notable collection-both from the
point of view of number and value
. with which he has been able to start
f the museum, which further work in
r this direction is bound to greatly en-
: rich.

impression in Rome on account of the
hardships which that valiant Catho-
I. lie prelate suffered at the hands of
the Cars government The Holy
See had already appealed to the Car
in his behalf, asking for his release
from his humiliating confinement in
the monastery at Suzdal, where
criminal priests belonging to the Rus
sian "OrthodOX" church are impriSon-

interfere in the case. After the
deposition of the Gar and his gov
eminent Cardinal Gasparri, Papal
Secretary of State, sent an appeal to
the charge d'affaires at the Russian
ministry to the Holy See, the result
being the immediate release Of Arch
bishop Szeptycky He has now ar

Revision of the uigate.-Cardinal
Gasquet, with the workers in Rome
/ at present on the Revision of the
Vulgate, were recently received in
: private audience Tha Holy Father
? heard from the Cardinal how the
work was going on, but was not sur
prised to learn that with the dimin-
{ ished numbers now available progress
D siVe activity has suffered. That does
2 not mean that nothing is doing at the
I Palazzo San Callisto, for, to mention
2 only one of the workers there, you
