A PRINCE OF PEACE
NoN-cATHoLlc EDITORS TRIB
UTE TO POPE BENEDICT.

The editor of Brann's Iconoclast
says:
Pope Benedict will be known as
A Prince of Peace Regardless of
the final outcome, no power can rob
him of this glorious title. The Allies
have declined to accept his Christlike
plea for the bleeding people of all the
warning nations, but they have not
closed the door to hope. In fact, !
think President Wilson's answer opens
lit little wider. Pope Benedict's sug.
gestions could not be ignored. They
may be subjected to some modifica.

afford to treat them lightly. There

FOOD CONSERVATION
REPORTS.

The government has entered
systematically into the work Of
conserving supplies needed for the
present period of world upheaval.
With alertness and precision the
officials in charge of the commits
sariat Of the nation are accom-
plishing their task. Haphazard,
spasmodic efforts have so far dis
tinguished no part of their work.
Handling this immense PROPOSE
tion in a methodical, business-like
manner, they have issued their APP
peals to the various classes of the
country. Recognizing the influ-
ence for good welded by the
churches of the nation, the Food
Administration Bureau has urged
upon the churches, acting as units
in their respective districts, the
necessity of individual co-opera-
ton. AS an incentive, the officials
have determined to keep exact
statistics of the work performed,
the number Of families responding
in given church area, etc.
Thus far, Catholics have not
been found wanting in their duty
to the country along every line of
national endeavor. 4 There is no
reason to fear for their loyalty !:
that is already a tested and a
proven fact. There is also every
reason to believe that as citizens
they are doing all in their power
to further the cause of conserva-
ton. If, however, they desire to
receive the recognition that will
be accorded to each denomination,
then they should unite their eff
forts under their respective parish
units. If they fail to do this, they
will have no cause to complain
later when the various denomina-
tions loom large in the percentage
columns Of conservation statistics.

SCANNING THE HORIZON.

From time to time there are
signs and indications that point
to reawakening in the camps of
Professionalism. Those who are
sincere in their search for the
truth-be they learned or litter
ate-frequently are drawn to the
light through an apparently
trivial circumstance. Catholicism
throughout the ages had built up
a wonderful system of practices
and devotions, all based upon the
foundation of Faith. These Gus
toms of the Church flowed natural
" from the font Of Christ s teach
ing: they bore upon themselves
the impress of that Faith which
He had left to mankind. They,
in turn, explained and pointed the
way towards the true belief.
They were, SO to say, the guide
The Catholic bulletin. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1911-1995, 1917-11-17

posts along the route which
Christ had marked out for every
mundane traveller.
Not rarely we read Of some way
farer from the fold without scan
ming the horizon for a glimpse of
some mark or beacon that might
indicate the right way to travel.
He searches on every hand, and
not infrequently comes upon a
practice, devotion, that acts as
a stimulus for further investiga-
ton. Some of the great converts
OF the past century have been thus
led to delve further and deeper
into the claims of the Catholic
Church.
just now an effort is being
made by one Protestant body to
promote the devotion of the Am
gelus. This pious practice of
Catholics contains whole theol-
|ogy, 1t implies belief, if per
formed sincerely, in the Incarna-
ton, the divine maternity of
Mary, the wonders Of the Holy
Ghost, the Communion Of the
Saints, and many other truths
dear to the Catholic mind.
Such step on the part of non
Catholics seems to manifest a
spirit of fairness and sincerity. 1t
should be encouraged in every
way. Well it is for the man who
has been born and reared in the
bosom Of the Church. Difficult,
on the other hand, is it for the
struggling brother who stumbles
along in the darkness of unbelief
or uncertainty. A guide-post, a
beacon, that helps to direct him
into the true path may in time
lead him into the one fold. For
such a consummation Catholics
should pray fervently.

FORGOTTEN.

Forgotten is the word that
sadly describes the condition of so
many of the dead. 1t is not long
since they were with us. We
loved them, or SO we thought.
We would have bitterly resented
the suggestion that we. could ever
forget them. And we have for
gotten them all1the same. Now,
we do not reproach anyone for
not grinding his nerves for
years with sharp-edged grief and
tears. We must live; and we can
not go on weeping. Especially
ought too prolonged grief not to
be expected from the young. The
world will give them enough to
weep for. Why turn their youth
into age before it's time? Why
weigh down the spirits of youth
too much or too soon9 Life
brings to all, and sooner than we
want it, the dulling Of youthful
JOY and the destruction of youth
full illusions, observes The Casket.
Let the young be happy.
But why need we forget? We

SALUTE THE FLAG.

When the flag was carried
by" in a parade at Chicago few
days ago khaki-clad young men
knocked off the hats Of people
who did not remove them volun-
tarily, and the Chicago papers
said that not more than 80 per
cent of those watching the parade
properly saluted the flag, writes
an exchange.
This is largely matter Of edu-
cation. It is only a few years
ago when the flag was used for
advertising all sorts of nostrums
and compounds and to decorate
all sorts of places. The law that
forbid it's use for such purposes
has in itself been educational.
Only the other day at state con-
vention of the w. G. T. U. in Iii
nois it was found that they had
been violating the flag by adver-
Using their purposes upon it, and
they were forced to get a new
flag.
The Spanish-American war did
not last long enough to call for
any special exhibitions of patri-
otic respect for the flag. AS the
emblem of our sovereignty the
flag ought to be looked to as the
symbol of the nation, that carries
in its folds the power and great
ness Of the nation and the aspir-
ations and hopes and aims and
objects of all it's people That is
the reason that the men who go
forth to battle for their country
fight under the flag and follow it
in the most desperate encounters.
Because it represents all of these
things people uncover as it goes
by, and soldiers who have learned
to salute it daily are excusable if
they use unmannerly methods to
call attention to failure to recog-
nize it.
1t was Catholic priest, Rev.
Henry B. Tierney, who wrote that
stirring poem, Hats Off! The
Flag Goes By!'
The Catholic bulletin. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1911-1995, 1917-11-17

need not shed tears every time we
think OF our dead; but why go to
the other extreme and never think
Of them at all? The Church bids
us remember them in love and
charity mot necessarily with tears
or repining. Let us think Of them
with love and with pity pray
for them; have Masses said for
them. That is the way to remem-
Der our dead. We who are Catho-
lies know we can help them and
comfort them still and that is a
sweet and welcome thought. The
human heart need not be rent for
half a lifetime for the death of a
loved one; but that heart must be
hard which can close itself up in
selfshness after a few tears and
regrets, and ignore the claims Of
those for whom it pretended to be
sorry. ~
And how many forget! How
many seem not to care to remem-
Der! How many are stingy of the
means they have to comfort and
help those who can no longer help
themselves!

around the sanctuary, where the

the murmur of voices.

FRUIT OF EXAMPLE
THE DIVORCE EVIL is EASILY
TRACEABLE FROM HENRY
VIII DOWN TO THE POOR.

London has an institution known as
"The Poor Persons Department of
the High Court of Justice" In the
first two days of one week, recently,
three hundred applications for divorce
were made to this department. The
secretary told the Daily Chronicle that
the great majority of applicants are
men, and mostly soldiers. In the
first six months of this year" said the
secretary, I'VE had $4,000 applications
for assistance, of which between 5000
and 5000 have been granted, and the
cases are now being proceeded with
Of 473 applications registered, only
189 are those of wives. There are no
fees, but every applicant must find
the solicitors out-of-p pocket expenses,
and expenses connected with wit
nesSes.
The London Tablet, commenting on
these facts, tells of a stipendiary who
s'goes out of his way to tell poor peo-
pie how to get divorce on the cheap.
This official is very indignant at the
solicitors, who sometimes set their
expenses as high as sixty pounds, and
he considers that he has done "a pub
lie service" in mentioning the mat
ter.
Here Is. forceful illustration OF
how an evil that began in the highest
place, with the king himself, has
fseeped down through the strata OF
English life, disrupting families and
destroying homes, and rendering the
Hives of the poor thrice wretched.

Are Exempted from Service
NEWS RECEIVED THAT THE
TEACHING ORDERS OF BROTH
ERS HAVE BEEN EXEMPTED BY
SECRETARY OF WAR.

The news has been received that
Brother Florian, of Indianapolis, who
had been drafted for military service,
has been exempted, because of his
calling.
Last week it was announced that
Brother Florian, of the Sacred Heart
Order, and Brothers Shelly and La
Fourne, of the Jesuit Order, were
among the conscripted soldiers who
began training at the military camps.
Exemption was denied them. Brother
Florian made application for exemp-
ton under that section of the draft
law which authorizes the exemption
of teachers and preachers of the
Gospel" Under the ruling of the
board the fact was that Brother Flor
ian was engaged exclusively in teach
ing and did not occupy a pulpit, and
he would be compelled to serve in the
army, and exemption was refused.
The only appeal in the case was to
the President and Secretary of War
Baker The matter was taken before
these high authorities, on the ground
that being member of teaching
religious order, under religious VOWS,
the Brothers of the Catholic Orders
are considered regular ministers of
religion, and as such should be ex-
empted from military duty
Secretary Of War Baker took this
view of the case and Brother Florian
was exempted. The decision will have
a far-reaching effect.

that is no proof that its name is

BIGOTS' EFFORTS FAIL
HOSPITAL is ERECTED DESPITE
UNFAIR PROTEST.

Rt. Rev. Denis Dougherty, Bishop
of Buffalo, officiated few days ago
at the dedication and formal open
ing of the new st. Jerome Hospital
erected by the Sisters of Mercy, in
Batavia, N. Y.
Several months ago when the Sis
tiers were considering the plans for
the hospital a few narrow-minded
non Catholic ministers attempted to
create prejudice against the project
because it was to be under the CON
troll of Catholic Sisters. Fortunately
for the city of Batavia, the citizens
are of the right kind and promptly
squelched the bigots by giving liberal
contributions to help to defray the cost
of the construction of the hospital.
