FELT IT A SACRED DUTY
A POOR SHOEMAKER WHO EDU.
GATED SISTERS CHILDREN.

A few days ago we were reading
some photographed notes by Mr.
David Lloyd-George, says Agnes Nc
Emery in The Southern Messenger
Speaking of his childhood, he says:
"My uncle never married, and he sci
himself the task of educating the
children of his sister as sacred and
supreme duty. To this duty he gave
his time, his energy and all his
money" 81
The uncle was a lowly shoemaker
in Welsh. village. Probably his
dreams were as modest as his hum

life that proved worth while. Under
the pressure of poverty he might have
been justified in sending the boy t.

Troubles Of Anglicans
NEED OF A CENTRAL AUTHORITY
-ANGLlCANS AND A "CATHO-
Lie ATMOSPHERIC"

In an article which he contributes
to the last issue of the "Church
Times" Protestant, in England, the
Rev. Francis Underhill writes: 1t is
not easy in the present state Of the
Church of England to get the right
atmosphere; and very often an inquiry
into the reason why it is not very
perceptible in some parishes is be-
cause it is SO qualified by timidity;
the parish priest would like to do and
say things, but dare not; the people
are frightened at things which have
no real existence, or which have
never been properly explained to
them, or which are so cautiously in
troduced as to suggest at once that
there is something more to be sus-
pected than appears on the surface
The fact is the feeling that the atmos-
phere is not real Catholic atmos-
phere pervades the whole place, OBJ
serves the London Catholic Times.
The clergyman is alarmed lest he
should arouse the hostility of the
distinctively Protestant Anglicans
amongst his congregation. The con
gregation is struggling with doubt and
uncertainty. Where there is "a

COMPATIBILITY is ERECTED.


Rome prepared for the commemora-
ton of All Souls by opening new
church for their benefit. It is Gothic
edifice standing in the new quarter
known as the Pratt di CASTILLO, not
far from Castel Saint Angelo. It's
erection is due in great part to the
efforts of a pious missionary named
Pere Jonet, who labored here from
the early nineties promoting the pious
work of Offering the merits of the Sa-
cred Heart, especially through the
Sacrifice of the Mass, for expiation. on
behalf of the suffering souls in Purga-
tory. He founded a Sodalfty of the
Sacred Heart to assist the Holy Souls,
which was economically erected in 1893.
The following year he laid the founda-
ton stone of the present church, but,
the work being interrupted by his
death, it was only in 1913 that Plus x,
after giving charge of the Sodality to
the Italian Missionaries of the Sacred
Heart. ordered the building to be
proceeded with.
On the approach of its inauguration

cordial, charitable and consoling.'
M. Drumont continued:
Chose American citizens who have
given proof of such splendid solidar-
ity on behalf of all the scattered mem
bers of their race, appear to me to be
more inspired than. all those mon
archs, all those leaders of peoples who
are tainted with the general skepti-
cism and who have denied the moral
force OF the Church. Those who gov
ern have refused to listen to the rep
resentative of Christ on earth, the
man who, without kingdom and an
army, and, from the temporal point of
view, despoiled Of everything, as He
is, still remains a sovereign. No ap-
peal has ever been made to this SOW
ereign in all the peace congresses
which have ended in the present ca
tastrophe.
by strange phenomenon, those
who in their belief in their religion
are furthest removed from Christian
doctrine, now ask the help of this
beneficent and worldwide influence
Having referred to the words of the
New York Jews, in which they recall
with admiration and gratitude" the
benevolence which the Papacy had on
numerous occasions shown them in the
past, he went on to say: They can
indeed, recall long prosecutions, in
Vulnerable years full of intense ankle
ty, always threatened by perils just
as agonizing. They cannot forget that
during more than 1000 years one man
alone has constantly spoken in Their
behalf, has declared without cessation
that their liberty of conscience must
be respected, has interviewed will
kings in order to protect the perse
cuted, has given the example of toler
ance by according to the Jews in his
domains better treatment than was
accorded to them anywhere else. This
man, always equal in his goodness
this man who never dies, is the Vicar
of Jesus Christ" The Pepe's reply
is described in the Jewish Year Bool
as ga virtual document against anti
Jewish prejudices.' e

CATHOLIC CALIFORNIA

II, as Charles Warren Stoddard
said, the railroad timetable of Cali.
fornia is like unto a litany of the
Saints, it may also be said that the
very map of the state is an act of
faith, says The Monitor of San Fran
cisco. Speaking historically, Cali
fornia and Catholicism are synony-
nous terms. To tell the story of one
is to relate that of the other.
Certainly, this is true of the Span
ish period, and if the American era
is not exclusively Catholic it never
theless derives great deal of that
which gives it beauty, and romance,
and spirituality from Catholic
sources.
And the Church in it's modern epoch
has even greater and more impor-
tant part to play in California than
in the golden days of Spain. For now
California is to the rest of the United
States what Spain itself or Italy or
France or Ireland is to Europe
namely, a region of Catholic pilgrim
age, tradition and romance.
The eyer-growing number of open
air demonstrations, festivals, process
sions and pilgrimages commemorate
ing Catholic events or personages
neld in California is a striking in
stance of the truth of these state.
ments. The constantly growing in
terest in our Spanish missions and
the consequent efforts to preserve
them from further decay or destruc-
ton is another most welcome sign.

Contagious Diseases.

At one time medical writers insisted
upon making a distinction between con-
tagious and infectious diseases, but there
is really very little difference. All dis
eases OF either class are germ diseases,
and are spread BY means OF germs, which
are transmitted from the sick 10 the well
either by direct contact, as in the case OF
purely contagious disease, or indirectly
BY insects. food or water, toilet articles,
toys and so forth
A few diseases are not transmitted from
the sick 10 the well, but are caused by
germs that are found in the soil or on
articles that are handled IN the course oi
daily life. That is the case with tetanus
and anthrax malignant pustule the
germ OF tetanuS thrives in the dirt; that

Formerly the belief prevailed that most
diseases were spread by infected articles
lfomiies was the technical term hence
there was great ado about dlsinieeting
merchandise and baggage, mmigahng
rooms in which a sick person had been,
and destroying or disiniecting all articles
that the sick person had handled. The
last precaution is still regarded as neees-
sary in the case OF such disease as ty-
phoid fever; but il is seldom necessary
to disiniect the baggage OF persons arriv-
ing at quarantine. even iithey come from

rats that may harbor the germs OF yellow
fever, plague or other diseases.
Insects are the greatest enemy OF man
in the way OF disseminating disease
typhus fever, malaria, yellow fever, the
plague and host OF tropical diseases are
chiefly spread by them, and many other
diseases are occasionally so carried. But
man himself is often the innocent carrier
of infection, and the recent discovery that
au apparently healthy person may haroor
the germs OF infectious disease and trans
nit them 10 others with whom he comes
into contact has presented difficult prob

carries the germ OF an infectious disease
can be killed if we can get al il. but man
who is doing the same thing must be
treated with more consideration and
how to prevent him from sowing the

the physicians have not yet solved.
