Ruined French Churches
WORK OF RESTORATION Is AL
READY PLANNED.

+ Il !
A work that daily gains in impor-
lance in France is the Society for the
Help of Devastated Churches. It's OBJ
ject, as it's name implies, is to assist
the churches that have been ruined by
the war. 1t is known that over 1000
churches are partially or wholly de-
stroyed in the Dioceses of Arras,
Amiens, Beauvais,s scissors, Chalons,
St. Die, Nancy, Verdun, Meaux and
Rheims, and we may believe that their
number will be found to have greatly
increased when the Dioceses of Lille
and Cambria are freed from the pres
ence of the invaders.
Throughout the length and breadth
of France, busy workers have indus
triously piled their needles on behalf
of these stricken churches; and others
give sacred vessels and church furni-
ture that will be duly distributed when
tho territory is restored to France.
Only then will the society have free
play. For the present, its intelligent
and jealous directors are conten: to
make ample provisions for vestments
and church linen, and to provide for
divine worship in the ruined villages
that are out of reach of the enemy 8

A Mystery Of the Eucharist
PARTICLES INCORRUPT IN CiBOR-
IUM FOR 1856 YEARS.

At the request of the Theological
Faculty of Siena, Italy, work has
lust come from the pen OF Father
Rueli. o. S. A., on a matter about
which many experts have busted
themselves from time to time these
two centuries almost This is the
preservation in a state of complete
interruption of 232 particles in a
sacred ciborium in the. Church of S.
francesca, Siena, for the last one
hundred and eighty-six years!
During these years several Juridlcal
processes, some of them by non-Cath-
olics, and all favored by the ecclesl-
astical authorities, have been drawn
up on the phenomenon. The last ex-
animation was held on June 10, 1914,
at the instance of the Most Rev.
Monsignor Scaccia, Archbishop of
Siena, by jurists and technical ex-
perts required by the circumstances.
The verdict of the body was that the
particles consisted of unfermented
bread in a state of normal preserva-
ton. and this after most rigorous
examination.
No explanation, from a human point
of view, is forthcoming as to this
phenomenon.

THE NEED OF A PEW
DEVOTION AS WELL AS DUTY
REQUIRES A CATHOLIC TO
HAVE A SEAT IN CHURCH.

There is nothing more conducive to
the pleasure and purpose OF an as
semblage than the good order and
proper arrangement of everything con-
nected with it, and we often hear per-
sons speak of some event in which
they participated as being most en-
joyable because everything was so
we'll ordered and arranged. Now, all
this applies with double force to the
public services of religion.
Catholics greatly enjoy the public
services of the Church when every
thing is well ordered and arranged,
and there is nothing to distract them
or jar upon them. For at every serv-
ice there is the Divine Presence, and
where perfect order reigns it soon
makes itself felt; it's calm peace steals
in upon the soul, it communes sweet
ly, and worships lin spirit and in
truth.
But in order to secure an external
condition of things in our churches SO
essential to recollection and prayer,
each one must know his place and oc-
cupy it without delay or confusion,
and in our present system of chure n
arrangement each worshiper is sup
posed to have his or her special place
assigned, and the regular seat in the
church has become requirement of
devotion as we'll as a necessity of
church finance.
Hence, to secure permanent place
in the church is a duty of devotion
as well as something of an obligation;
and we find that truly pious Catholics
almost invariably try to secure seats
in their parish churches, be they ever
$50 humble. Indeed, Catholics who fail
to do this are not apt to be very
steady in the practice of their relig-
ion; and there can be no doubt as
to the neglect of duty in the case. To
contribute to the support of religion
is as much a positive law of the
Church as to attend Mass on Sundays,
and the ordinary revenue for the sup
port of religion comes from the pew
rents. We insist, therefore, that every
Catholic who can possibly afford it
should have his seat in church; good
order requires this as well as duty
and devotion. 1t is a poor business
to be all the while occupying other
peoples pews, and sometimes, per-
Lhaps, be required to vacate them Pew
holders have their rights, and they
must be protected in them. Nevert ,e-
less, to secure good order and har-
mony at the services of the church
pew holders must be willing at times
Ito waive their rights and allow
strangers and others to occupy the
vacant seats in their pews. This is
no more than politeness and common
Christian charity demand TO refuse

A Cluster of Snowdrops
(For a Religious Reception on the
Feast of Our Lady of the SNOWY

Midsummer snow upon a Roman hill,
The Esqualine, one August long ago,
Gave clients of Our Lady blest to
know
The site wherein, according to her
will,
Should rise votive church, a shrine

Across the centuries that marks
times flow
Bids artist-souls with rapture deep
to glow
And Christian souls with love of Mary

vision seen,
Like snow-capped hill CLEANS pure

Of tepid faith and hope, and selfish

THE LEGEND OF THE RED,
WHITE AND RLUE-WHITTIER'S
VERSION OF A MARVELLOUS &C.
cURRENcE IN THE TWELFTH
CENTURY.
Written for The Catholic Bulletin by
Helen Hughes Hieischer.)

Away back in the ages that are
called dark by some, but which are
very bright compared with our own
day, there lived a, knight named John
of Matha, whose heart burned with a
desire to serve God in the most pleas
ing way to Him. One day while en-
gagged in prayer, a mighty angel ap-
peared to him, clothed in a white man
tie on which was cross OF blended
red and blue. Before him knelt two
captives with their chains loosened.
The angel pointed to them and then
placing his mantle around the Shout
ders of John he said, go forth under
the color of the Red, White and Blue,
and work for the freedom of the en-
shaved children of God
With this mantle upon his shoulders
the young knight walked through the
length and the breadth OF France beg
ging money for the ransom OF the
slaves. At last he was able to start
for Algeria with a ship and money
enough to buy the freedom of many
captives from their Turkish masters.
John Greenleaf Whittier tells the
story in his spirited poem, 'The Man
tie of st. John of Matha," from which
the following quotation is TAKEN
SAT last outbound from Tunis
His bark her anchor weighed
Freighted with seven score Christian
souls,
Whose ransom he had paid.

CENTENARY OBSERVED
SOCIETY OF MARY CELEBRATED
ITS ONE HUNDREDTH ANNI-

The Society of Mary, whose mem
bers, under the familiar name of the
Brothers of Mary, are engaged in
teaching in colleges, high schools and
parochial schools throughout the
United States, held it's first centenary
celebration at st. Mary College, Day
ton, Ohio, last week. Archbishop
Moeller OBLIGATED at the Pontifical
High Mass, at 9 o'clock, and Right
Reverend Philip McDevitt, of Harris
burg, Pa, delivered the centenary
sermon.
Over one hundred members of the
hierarchy and clergy from all parts of
the country attended; and fully two
hundred members of the Society of
Mary were present at the ceremonies.
At noon a banquet was served to four
hundred. In the course of the after
noon, the guests were shown the in
teresting parts of Dayton; the new
government aviation field, and the So
ciety of Mary's normal school at Mt.

vacant seat in Church to stranger
is selfishness gone to seed, and they
are few, hope, who would be guilty
of such vulgarity.
But while all who possibly can
should have their regular places on
church, there will, no doubt, always
be a very considerable number who,
through poverty or perverseness, will
be pew holders at large, and to them
| would also address a few remarks.
The Catholic church is the Church of
the poor! This is our glory and our
pride. No one can be too poor to
attend the services of the Cathoii :,
Church God is no respecter of per-
sons, nor is His Church. The poor
are always welcome in her grandest
temples, and none should ever miss a
single service of religion because they
are too poor to hire regular seat.
In the Church, thank God, everything
is free to them, and there are always
vacant seats for them to occupy. We
not only wish non-pew holders to oc-
cupy the vacant seats in the Church,
but we insist on their occupying them
for the good order and harmony of
the services require that, as far as
possible, all should be seated. The
only condition we implore is the Cos
pei injunction: do not sit down in
the first place" or in the place of an
other; and if you are told to move
up higher, do not refuse. Crowding
around the doors is more objection
able than anything else, for there is
nothing else that interferes so much
with the good order and arrangement
of the services

1.-THE MANTLE OF ST. JOHN De MATHA
But torn by Paynem hatred,
Her sails in tatters hung;
And on the wild waves rudderless
A shattered bulk she swung.

And on the wild waves rudderless
A shattered bulk she swung.
God save us!" cried the captain,
For naught can now avail
o. woe betides the ship that lacks
Her rudder and her sail!
Then up spoke John of Matha:
Gods errands never fail!
Take thou the mantle that wear,
And make of it sail.
They raised the cross-wrought mantle,
The Blue, the White, the Red;
And straight before the wind off shore
The ship of Freedom sped.
So on through storm and darkness
They drove for weary hours;
And 10! the third grey morning shone
On. Ostia's friendly towers.
And on the walls the watchers
The ship of mercy KNEW
They knew far off it's holy cross,
The Red, the White, the Blue.
Take heart from JOnn OF Matha-
Gods errands never fail!
Sweep on through storm and dark
ness,
The thunder and the hail!
Sail on! The morning cometh,
The port We yet shall win,
And all the bells of God shall ring
The good ship bravely in"
This all happened away back about
the middle of the twelfth century, but
the great nations who are now en-
gagged in war on the western front,
fighting for freedom of the hearth, and
freedom of the soul itself, carry these
same colors, different indeed in ar
rangement and design, but all a blend
ing of the Red, White, and Blue.
