To The World: Scattered thruout
the oil regions Of the country are hun
dreds Of people who. while they have
acquired new homes elsewhere, look
! hack TO Bradford, Pa, as the "old
| home. For many 1t was the place of
their birth, while others were attract
: ed there by the hope of fortune flow
ing from the ground. In going over
I in memory the days of the past and
calling up the familiar figures of the
old days, one in particular stands out
prominently in the memory Of every
one, regardless of religious faith
/ Father Coonan.
Considering the many years that he
spent in Bradford, Father Coonan can
almost be regarded as a native of this
pioneer oil town. He saw its growth
| from practically nothing to pros
porous city, and was part of 1t. His
genial smile and pleasant word are
we'll remembered: and when the news
Of his death, In November, 1915, was
announced, The sorrow among oil men
everywhere was as general and as
genuine as II was In his own city.
Many to whom the sad news came
were former members of his congre-
gation-boys and girls who had
grown up under his care and who felt
in his death a personal loss.
Father Coonans friends, whoever
and wherever they are, Will be glad
to know that an appropriate monu-
ment is being erected to his memory
In st. Bernard's church, Bradford. A
main altar of Carara marble, at
cost OF $4,000, is to be his memorial.
This amount is being subscribed by
his former parishioners and by the
citizens of Bradford, and the names of
the donors will be encased within the
altar. Many of his friends and ad-
mirers elsewhere have expressed the
wish to share In placing a suitable
monument to his memory; this they
can do hy sending their names and
subscriptions to his successor, the Rev.
David f. Hickey. Ill. D., Bradford,
Pa. The altar will be completed about
the middle OF June. A Friend. Brad
ford, Pa, May Is, 1917.

Wist Ye Not?

Wi2t ye not Of all the stories
OF the islands OF the sea.
All the glories of the nations
There is nothing like to thee.
In the hangers lowly station,
Leading there the wise men three
While the choirs OF Gods heaven
Rang with messages Of thee.
Wist ye not. as other children,
Worked and learned Gods will and
played
The trandencies Of nature
In his slight form earth arrayed.
Wist ye not a youth grown silent,
Pondering his call TO win
The perverted human conscience
From the avenues oAsin.
To the souls emancipation,
To tho higher law divine,
To enrich our sordid natures
As tho water turned to wine.

Stay in school.

To The World attach herewith a
copy OF letter mailed to the superin>
tendents of schools and principals of
high schools. Sincerely Stratton d.
Brooks, president of the state univer-
city, Norman, Okla.
To the superintendents of schools
and principals of high schools: Dear
sirs: | call your attention to the me-
cessity of making every possible effort
TO prevent the children Of Oklahoma
from being unnecessarily deprived Of
educational opportunities on account
of the war. | ask you, therefore, to
do whatever you can to develop pub.
lie sentiment toward maintaining the
district and elementary schools for
full time, and to urge all parents to
keep their children therein.
May | ask you also to call TO the
attention of the seniors, particularly
In your high school, the fact that dur
Ing rhe coming years we shall have
the greatest shortage Of college grad
yates that the world has ever seen in
recent years. The universities of Eu-
rope are practically all closed and a
large proportion of their graduates
have been killed in battle. The par
ticipation of America in the war is
taking to the battle field thousands
of college men, and is taking out Of
the universities many thousands more
who may not return to graduate.
Since high school graduates for the
most part are too young to enlist as
privates they should be urged to enter
college and devote themselves TO such
lines of work as will prepare them in
the shortest possible time for special
service TO their country. 1t would be
better for them to give the next two
or three years to preparation In engi-
neering, scientific and technical lines

Belgian Relief State
ment

The executive committee Of the To-
cal Belgian childrens fund desires 10
make public certain statements con
tanned in a recent letter from Mr..
Hoover relative to the governmen
loan and the future status OF Ameri-
can relief IN Belgium. The cost of
Belgian and northern France relief,
so far as It is feasible under present
shipping conditions, will be borne for
the next six months by the American
government under loan OF $4,000
600. The money will be advanced by
the treasury in installments OF w.
bO0.O per month, of which $500
OOO will be available for Belgian relief
and $4,000. 900 for relief in northern
France. At the termination of six
months application may be made to
the government for further loans. Mr.
Hoover writes: The commission has
long desired government recognition
In order that its work should be more
firmly established as a distinctly
American undertaking. and we feel
that you will join with us In intense
satisfaction that he work has now be-
come responsibility and n duty
shared by the whole American ma
ton" Twelve and one-half million
dollars a month will now cover all OF
the foodstuffs the commission can
hope TO ship owing to the recent

Attention Ex- Soldiers and Uido,

on the 4th day of March the presi-
dent signed what is known as the In
dian war pension bill. This provides
for a pension Of $50 a month for all
soldiers of the regular army and
volunteer troops who served in any
OF the campaigns against the Indians
between the years OF 1859 and 1891,
who have reached the age Of 90. 1t
also provides for a pension of sl2 a
month to widows of such soldiers
regardless of age. The new law also
includes ex-confederates who wer,
prisoners of war and who enlisted in
the United States service and served
in any western campaign-also their
widows. As matter OF fact all who
served in the west between the wears
of 1853 and 1891 should understand
this new pension law. / am a member
of the National Indian War Veterans
association and wish that all soldiers
and widows provided for under this
law may get their pensions. Anyone
writing to me, inclosing stamp fol
replay, will be furnished with the in
formation necessary to secure such
pension In writing state military
record as far as possible.
II all local country papers will copy
this they will assist n worthy class who
otherwise might never receive what a
grateful country has provided for
them.
Thanking this publication for its
courtesy and assistance and hoping

THE BIBLE.

We noted recently that, 81 years
after the Reformation began in
Germany, the Professionals, in conven-
ton at Strassburg, cut out of the Bible
the Epistle to the Hebrews, the Epis
tie of st. James, and the Apocalypse;
and that, "a years after that, they put
them back again. They must have
been wrong in the one case or in the
other. These writings are part of the
Bible or they are not. Thus, those
who preached that the Church had
fallen into error, and that therefore
men were no longer bound to follow
her, themselves fell into error from
the first, or else they fell into error
soon after. And if they were wrong
on such an important matter as what
books composed the Bible, what GER
tainty had they that they were right
in separating from the Church? What
certainty had they that they were not
merely adding one more to the long
list of heretical revolutions which had
taken place before their time? They
took their stand, they said, on the
Bible. On what Bible? They con-
fessed themselves they did not know,
when they cut books out and put them
back, as their opinions changed. They
did not even agree amongst them
selves, at any one time, about the
Bible. Their translators published
different versions of the Bible; many
of them extremely ridiculous. Ewing
Illus said that Luther had corrupted
the word of God. Luther said that
Zwinglius' translation of the New
Testament was the work of fools,
asses and Antichrists. Beza said of
the version published by Aecolam-
padius, at Bale, that it was impious,
and opposed to the spirit of God. The
English "Reformers" declared the
Geneva version the worst and most
inaccurate that had appeared.

CATHEDRAL OF CHARITIES.

This cathedral, one of the finest
Gothic churches in Europe, stands on
the site of the earliest Christian
church. The present noble structure
which towers SO grandly above the
city, was begun in 1040 by Bishop
Fulbert, after the destruction of his
former cathedral by a conflagration
caused by lightning. 1t took about
one hundred and thirty years to COM
pleto it, though one spire was added
much later. The widow of William
the Conqueror covered the roof of
the nave with lead.
1t was dedicated, October II, 1860,
under the protection of the Blessed
Virgin, by Peter de Marney, sixty
sixth Bishop of Charities.
The steeples are 342 and 37S feet in
height. 1t is profusely adorned with
in and without with statues, the whole
number being 5000. The length of
this noble church is 396 feet, the
width, within, 1913 feet, the height
LOG. The rich portals, the beautiful
stained-glass windows, and the ex-
quisite choir, elaborate in its Gothic
worth, and adorned with statues,
make this church one of the finest in
the world. Beneath the church is a
crypt, where, before the coming of
our Lord, the Druids offered up their
rites and had a statue inscribed, ITO
her who is to be Virgin and Mother
-Virgini Pariturae." For these rea-
sons, the church erected on the spot,
in 313, was dedicated to the Blessed
Virgin and has always been one of
the most famous shrines of Our Lady.
The noble Gothic church stands on a
height overlooking the city, and it's
steeples can be seen thirty miles off.
Here, in a rich shrine covered with
plates of gold set with precious
stones, was preserved a rich robe of
ancient Babylonian workmanship,
honored as having been worn by Our
Blessed Lady herself So great was
the esteem in which it was held, that
royal personages, when knighted,

WILL EGOTISM OR SACRIFICE
CARRY THE DAY?

'The question which divides men
in our day is no longer a question
of political forms, it is social ques-
tion-that of deciding whether the
spirit of egotism or the spirit of sac
ritice is to carry the day; whether
society is to be a huge traffic for the
benefit of the strongest, or the conse-
Grafton of each for the benefit of all,
and above all for the protection of
the weak. There are many who have
already too much, and who wish to
possess still more; there are greater
number who have not enough, and
who want to seize it if it is not given
to them. Between these two classes
of men struggle is imminent, and
it threatens to be terrible-on one side
the power of gold, on the other the
power of despair. 1t is between these
two opposing armies that we must
prccipitate ourselves, if not to prevent,
at least to break, the shock"
