Former Provincial Superior

CALLED TO HIS REWARD.

The Very Rev. A. J. Zielenbach, C
S. Sp., former provincial of the Hol.
Ghost Fathers, died at Alknechste
den, Rhine Province, Germany, or
October 80. He was sixty-two years
old. Father Zielenbach, who was
born near Cologne, Rhine Province
Germany, on January %, 1855, and
who was ordained to the priesthood
in Paris in the fall of 1878, was one
of the most prominent members OF
the order.
He was well known in this country
where he spent the early years of his
priesthood, being the first to found a
mission band of the order here In
1898 he was made provincial of the
American Province of the order, serH
ing in that capacity until 1905, when
he received the appointment of coun
seller to the superior general in Paris

ligion and our order who claim that
men of our faith are unpatriotic.
We see that Catholic France has
found herself and we know from first
hand information and observation that
the last grip of Catholicism is an en-
during one. After the war, France
will indeed be fruitful soil in which
and | am sure that countless councils
will spring forth and flourish as
pioneer body of Knights are sent over
to do the good work. At the present
time the Y. M c.. A. has been doing
a noble work, and it is duly appre-
upon their hospitality, especially in
the matter of requesting their tents in
order to have Mass said on Sundays.
The managers and clerks are gentle
men, all, but still there is a religious
atmosphere that is not wholly our
own, and somewhat foreign to us,
which sometimes leaves the impress
sion that the Catholic boys have been
forgotten.
We hear that the Knights propose
to establish headquarters or stations
similar to the Y. M G.. A. in many
parts of the United States. Do you
also intend to establish such GASES
over here? If so, it would be a great
er work than the Y. M. c. A. can ac-
complish, for with the cooperation of
Catholic France and her wonderful
soldier-priests, we will be enabled to
put things over with punch and leave
a favorable impression for the intro
duction of Columbianism in more ia.
vorable times.
If any of us young men can in any
way assist in the future establishment
of these stations, we would gladly do
anything in our power. You can call
upon us for anything in this line of
work during our spare hours, and if
more time could be granted us, We
would energetically set to work to sur
pass the good results our Y. M. G. A.
brothers have already attained. We
would like to hear more of any project
you have in view, and hope that if any
thing can be done by US, you will not
hesitate to call on sus.
Fraternally yours, etc.

Many bishops have requested the

1t was largely through the Arch
bishops efforts that France was pre-
vented from following in the footsteps
of England and throwing the weight
of her sympathies with the Confed-
crate States. Wherever he travelled
in Europe, he was accorded an honor
able reception. He left nothing I'M
done to promote the cause of the
Union, and did much to enlist the
sympathies of the Old World in the
preservation of the American Repub-
| lie. Again, at the time of the draft
riots in the city of New York, in 1863,
his services were requested by Gov
ernor Horatio Seymour to quiet the
disorders. Although much broken in
health, the patriotic metropolitan
readily accepted the call to duty, and
addressed the excited people with
good effect. This was one of his last
public acts; from that time he rapidly
declined in health until the day OF
his death, January 8, 1864. In all his
public deeds, however, the great Cath
Iolic Archbishop but followed the
teachings of his Church, doing for his
own country on the patriotic scale
afforded him by his own superior tai
Ients what his confreres have Away
done the world over.

In reference to ecclesiastical jurisdic-

and division of dioceses, appointments
of Bishops, of chapters, rectors, pro-
fessors in seminaries and other cleri-
cal officials, and the building of
churches, the Church authorities enjoy
full liberty, the only obligation rest
ing upon them being that of inform

teaching of the catechism and to ap-
point teachers in the civil schools.
Full freedom is granted to religious
associations and monastic orders, in

The last two paragraphs of the law
explicitly state that, liberty of con-
science having been established by a
special law, no obstacle now exists to
conversions to the Roman Catholic
Church, and that all restrictive meas

such as the prevention of free COM
munication with Rome, the censuring
of the "Acta Apostolicae Sedis,' and
the difficulties placed in the way of
recruiting the clergy, are now definite

Some days afterwards, in similar
weather, the prelates and large

of the new Bishop, DR.. Mccarthy. He
