Church Building in Ireland
REMARKABLE TRIBUTE FROM A
NoN-cATHoLIcP PUBLICATION.

Church Building in Ireland" is the
subject of a sympathetic and lengthy
illustrated article in the New Years
number of the Builder The loss of
the ancient Catholic churches to the
new Protestant Episcopal Church at
the time of the Reformation and the
enormous disabilities and disadvan-
tages'' under which Catholics suffered
during the penal times are pointed
out. These laws will, says the Builder,
always be regarded as one of the in
comprehensive monuments of injus-
tice which the stupidity of past gov
ernments made possible. The great
est proof of the attachment of the
great mass of the population to their
ancient faith is afforded in the fact
that the Penal Laws not only failed to
eliminate Catholicism, but did not
even impair its strength Their re-
peal brought an opportunity of which
Irish Catholics were not slow in
availing themselves. It was followed,
We are told, by an era of church
building which, taking into considera-
ton the disparity of wealth and pop
uiation of Great Britain and Ireland,
has no parallel in modern history
Then the long-continued effort which
resulted in the completion of Armagh
Cathedral is cited as typical of the
efforts Of which many of the new
churches are the result. Begun in
1910 It took thirty-Shree years to
erect, while its adornm ent is due to the
zeal Of Cardinal Loguek

Writing from Paris on the 10Th OF

Catholic Times tells Of affairs IN
Rheims, which has Of late suffered
more severely than usual from the
enemy's bombardment:
From Rheims comes the news OF
the heroic death of a lady, Madame
Baudet, whose husband is the manager
of one big champagne house, La
Maison Pommery.' It's vast cellars

poses since the shelling OF Rheims

Gods word and the mystery OF His

ance.
The daily press states that there
are go divorce cases waiting for trial
in Jackson county. This statement
indicates the number of homes that
are disrupted. the number of women
Inundated, the number of men about
to be relieved of their sacred duty, and
the number of children that will be
denied their God-given rights. their
parents guidance and protection.
Our divorce laws are disgrace to
civilization and the Interpretation of
them, in many instances, Is menace
to society. Divorce laws apparently
are enacted to protect the Innocent,
but in reality they are the by-paths to
immortality. The greatest offenders
against the home and the home virtues
become the beneficiaries of these laws.
The innocent parties and society itself
are made the victims of divorce legis-
lation and for a very sad proof of this
statement we do not have to go be-
yond our orphan asylums. These are
filled to the doors with children whose
parents have taken advantage OF these
nefarious. laws.
'The different state assemblies have
run riot in their efforts to lessen the
responsibilities assumed on the occa-
sion of marriage, and anti-vice COM
missions and vice raids will have lit
tie meaning so long as the bonds OF
matrimony are tempered with by ir-
responsible men in our state legisla-
lures.
At times 1t may be necessary for
husband and wife to be separated, but
surely it is not for the good of society
that the cause of the separation be
paraded before the public, and that
those divorced should be relieved OF
the obligations they took upon them
selves on the day when they promised
fidelity to one another"

The business affairs of the COM
pany and the physical parts Of the
property were reported upon by Gen
eral Manager Arnold and Superin-
tendent Appleton.
Manager Arnold, in his report, call
ed attention to the fact of an IN
creased number Of telephones. He
said that less amount of money had
been spent in the creation of new
property than for several years and
a greater amount of money used for
repairs of maintenance. The reason
for this, he said, is the increased cost
for labor and material.
The property is in pretty good con-
dition, Notwithstanding the trouble in
getting materials. The sleet storm
last winter caused several thousand
dollars in repairs.
The use of automobiles has been
a distinct advantage. The company
now owns three automobiles and two
horses and regularly employs the use
of three other automobiles, one mo-
torcycle and one horse. The cost of
keeping an automobile and a horse
for a year is about the same. The
company plans to purchase more au-
tomobiIes and dispose of the horses.
A switchboard room was construct
ed at Danville during the past year at
cost OF $500.
The problem of keeping sufficient
and competent help has been a big
one. It has been necessary to in.
crease wages. Still more liberal EAR.
rangement for paying employees
would make the service easier and

statement that some arrangement
