RELIGION in SPAIN
D voTloN TO THE SACRED
HEART is EEHfSENT, AND WIDE
sPREAD-MoNUMENT WILL BE-
ERECTED.

The feast OF the Sacred Heart was
celebrated with unexampled splendor
in Spain. The image of the Sacred
Heart was enthroned in the pro-
vincial palace of Navarro in the pres
ence of all the local deputies, and the
beautiful statue chosen for the purpose
will henceforth look down upon all the
debates in the chamber. In Bilbao
the same ceremony took place in the
Carlist Club, where another magnifi-
cent statue has been provided for the
purpose. Masses were said on the
occasion throughout both cities for
the prosperity of Spain peace among
the warning nations and the inten-
tions of the Holy Father. Finally,
splendid progress is being made with
the national monument to the Sacred
Heart on mountains which form the
geographical center of Spain. The
king has given 5000 pesetas to this
work, and now the Pope, having been
asked for permission to have his
name engraved on one of the stones,
has sent generous donation and
blessed and indulgenced the work.

FOR ARMY RELIEF WORK

We did something for the spiritual
comfort and for the recreation of the
National Guard along the Mexican
border last year. The call now comes
from all over the country that this
work, then attempted for the first
time, shall be continued and enlarged
to meet present conditions.
In addition to caring for those in
this country and at least furnishing
them every spiritual comfort and the
service of priests, we must soon face
the further duty of sending our priests
where needed, with such Of our troops
as are called abroad. We know the
scarcity of priests throughout the
country for ordinary parochial work,
and appreciate the financial condition
of the average church, with its many
obligations. The matter of support of
priests who will go voluntarily, where
needed, is problem. Thank God! we
are not wanting in a great number
who will gladly offer their services
and their lives to render their minis
trations to our men here and at the
front
Plainly, then, we are confronted
with the proposition of opening UP
recreation centers at all of the prin-
cipal concentration camps Cat least 16
in number), possibly also at the reg
ular army expansion camps, and of
furnishing priests (where the military
chaplain is not of our faith) and their
support while so engaged both here
and in Europe. The centers will of
course be open to. all, regardless Of
creed or membership in our order.
Is our order Of nearly four hundred
thousand men prepared and wiling to

THE WAYSIDE CROSS
ENGLAND OWES THE ERECTION
OF THE FIRST GREAT CALVARY
TO THE DoMINiCANS.

To the Dominicans England owes
the erection of the first great Calvary
or wayside Cross to commemorate
the dead of the war. This was un-
veiled at Woodchester on Trinity Sun
day by the Bishop of Clifton. A
great Crucifix twenty-one feet high
dominates the roadside. 1t is ap-
preached by a small scala sancta
closed by gates, and when completed
will be fanked by two mourning an
gels. On slab at the foot appear
the names of all the men of the dis
trict who have given their lives in
the cause of freedom, and a note that
the Calvary was set up by subscrip-
tions from Catholics and Protestants
alike who sent from all parts of the
Empire.

OF COLUMBUS WILL
RAISE ONE MILLION DOLLARS
TO PROVIDE FOR THE SPIRIT
UAL AND SOCIAL WELFARE OF
THE CATHOLIC TROOPS.

Confronted with the vast problem
of caring for the spiritual and social
welfare of the thousands of Catholic
young men who will be drafted into
the American army, the Knights of
Columbus have undertaken to raise
the sum of one million dollars in order
to provide recreatiye centers at all the
principal concentration camps and to
furnish support for chaplains to min
lister to the Catholic soldiers. The fol
lowing appeal, issued by the supreme
knight to the grand knights of all sub
ordinate councils, shows eloquently
the pressing need for this great work
and also testifies to the promptness
with which this great Catholic order
takes up this gigantic task:
KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS
New Haven, June II, 1917.
Dear Sir and Brother
A million men will soon be in con-
centration camps preparing for war.
Thirty or forty per cent of this num-
ber will be men of our faith, many OF
them members of our order, and all
ready to give 'the last full measure of
devotion to our common country.
Thousands of loved ones at home
will be anxiously awaiting news, and
in their prayers asking protection for
the husbands, sons and brothers who
have offered their lives for the dag.

Father Chaminade, S. M.
A MODEL TO CHRISTIANS OF
FIDELITY TO DUTY.

The Holy Father recently addressed
brief to the Rev. Joseph Hiss, the
superior general of the Society of
Mary, ON the centenary of the society,
soon to be celebrated. In that letter
Pope Benedict makes touching refer
ence to the founder of the congrega-
tion, Father Chaminade, who at the
time when the French revolution was
at its height and the clergy who had
not taken the schismatical, constitu-
tional cath, were the victims of the
sternest persecution, distinguished
himself by his fidelity to duty, his
zeal for the divine glory and his char
ity to his neighbor He recalls the
heroism with which time and again
this sanity priest risked his own life
to bring the consultations of religion
to the sick and the dying. The apos-
tie was undoubtedly raised by God to
preserve the faith in Bordeaux in
those troublous days. The Holy Fa-
ther proposes him to all Christians
as model of fidelity to duty and to
the inspirations of the Holy Ghost.

WILL NOT BE RECALLED
BISHOP OF TRENT WILL REMAIN
AT HIS POST.

A Havas dispatch from Rome says
that the Vatican has announced that
it has finally refused to recall Right
Rev. Colestin Endrici, Bishop of
Trent, in the Tyrol. The effort to
dislodge Mgr. Endrici dates from the
beginning of the war;, when the
Austrian government, because of his
avowed pro-Italian sentiments, at
tempted to force from him declara-
tion of loyalty to Austria. Mgr. En-
dirci replied: Christ said Render
unto Caesar that which is Caesars.
We must obey our governments, even
if they are bad. That is why we
submit to the Emperor" The Aus
trian government construed this
language as rebellious and sought his
withdrawal

1t is a national duty to show devo-
ton to the flag. The Stars and Stripes
will now be carried into foreign coun-
tries, at the head of the American
Army. 1t will float as proudly as, ever,
the banner of peace and justice, of
hope and freedom. During the Reyo-
lutionary War this same flag was of
no special import. Of the Reyolu-.
tionary flags preserved, all are state
or local ensigns, except one, the stars
and stripes of the Third Maryland
Continental Regiment.
The striped flag was in use in the
Continental army and navy from Jam
uary 1, ITS, when Washington had
it hoisted at camp at Cambridge. All
that the Continental Congress did on
June IA, 1776, was to strike out the
English cross and insert thirteen stars
instead. It was of such little import,
even to Congress, that nothing but the
resolution appears on the minutes
no name of committee or any explain.

CATHEDRAL in RUINS
GREAT CATHEDRAL AT RHEIMS
TO BE A WAR MONUMENT.


Conversion of the battle worn
Cathedral at Rheims into mausoleum
for the unknown dead of all the
armies fighting in France for the COM
mon cause of democracy has been de-
termined upon by the French govern
ment. The plan, to be put into exeeu-
tion as soon as the war is over, was
announced in dispatches to the head
quarters in Washington, D. c., of the
French restoration fund. 1t is pro-
posed that the Cathedral shall not be
restored, but that representatives of
all the allies shall place their battle
flags within what remains of the his
toris edifice, which then shall be
formally dedicated as monument to
the heroic dead.

DR.. Pritchett of the Carnegie Foun-

the $666.000 can be raised. Father
Moulinier says that other departments
of the school have been crippled to
keep the medical school alive.

THE AMERICAN FLAG

Our Blessed Lady. Her color is blue.
The flag of the Church, the Papal flag,
the flag of Christ, the flag of peace, of
Time, is white. The Church is for
these flags. Christ's flag, the flag of
Peace, of Time; so in large sense,
the red, white and blue is a Catholic
flag. Let Liberty be endangered, let
Law leave us for lawlessness, let revo-

pie on that flag, legions of Catholics,

of ideals and purposes, who love it for
what it purports and promises, will
