MURAL PAINTINGS IN THE BOS.
TON PUBLIC LIBRARY FORM A
BEAUTIFUL TRIBUTE TO THE
HARMONY THAT HAS ALWAYS
EXISTED BETWEEN THE CATH
OLIc CHURCH AND ART.

In a recent number of America, DR..
James J. Walsh presents an inter
esting article on the paintings re-
Gently unveiled in the Boston Public
Library One of them is a beautiful
Madonna. This iii itself will scarcely
shock good Protestants, since they
are accustomed to have in their
homes copies of the old masterpieces
depicting the Blessed Virgin at diff
ferent periods of her life. One pic
ture portrays Our Lady of Sorrows
as a beautiful majestic woman with
crown and aureole, and seven
swords piercing the heart. The face
has the look of one bearing the sor-
rows of the world.
The public hall in which the paint
ings are found strongly suggests an.
cient church architecture and, there
fore, the subjects Mr.. John S. Sargent
has chosen for it's decoration are ex.
tremely effective. The place itself is
suited to express Catholic ideas
breathing love and devotion to the
| Mother of God.
There is also a series of ten panels
| growing out of the idea of the Ma
donna and the Mother of Sorrows
They are all there, joyful, sorrowful
| and glorious. The paintings of ou

FEAST OF SAINT THOMAS

deep down in his heart the love OF
God, and the spirit of obedience to
Gods commands, he is a failure. And
you who are gathered in this Catholic
college, remember you are here for a
two-fold purpose. You must fit your
selves for the various pursuits to
which God may have called you, but
you are also bound while within these
| hallowed walls, to foster the Christian
virtues, especially a lively faith and
sincere love of God and His Holy
Church. Now, while you are young,
lay broad and deep the foundations
which will stand strong when in later
years you will be assailed by the
temptations of a wicked and goddess
world.
1t was the holiness of life of st.
Thomas that enabled him to move
safely through the shoals and quick
sands that beset the intellectual world
of his day. He recognized that the
natural powers of man are limited.
He saw that however noble they may
be, there are mysteries which they
cannot fathom, there are truths they
cannot comprehend. While reason can
take us far on the road to knowledge,
there comes point when if we would
walk safely, we must have higher
and better light. 1t is this admir-
able harmony of the seeming contra
dictory principles of the natural and
supernatural which has earned for the
great Dominican the title of Doctor of
the Church. He was ever ready to
give to God the things that are Gods.
When Thomas went to Paris he
threw himself with all the ardour of
vigorous and youthful mind, against
the chaos of rationalistic thought he
found there. The task was not an
easy one. He was engaged with an
enemy long and carefully prepared;
sharp-witted scholars; learned profes-
sors; deep thinkers; men of every class
and kind were ranged against him.
But truth has never lacked a cham
pion. One hundred years before, the
Almighty raised up Bernard before
whom Abelard, the proud and arrog-
ant, fell like an idol of clay. Now, an
other leader was needed. That leader
was found in the young Dominican.
Exceptionally gifted by nature, a past
master in the art of reasoning, quick
to sieze upon the weak points of his
opponents, with one glance of his
eagle eye he swept the field, and then
bore down with crushing force on
their sophisms and fallacies. AS the
clouds and mists when pierced by the
golden rays of the morning sun, scat
ter and disappear to make way for
the fair form of light, even so the
clouds and mists of error which had
long hung around that ancient seat of
learning were pierced and broken by
the dazzling brilliancy of this almost
angel mind. Truth once more illum-
ined the lecture halls of Paris. False
principles are probed. Fallacies are
shown. Error disguised as truth is
laid bare. Nor is this all. The genius
of Aquinas is not merely destructive.
1t is also pre-eminently constructive.
He not only pulls to pieces this pagan
! philosophy and clears away the ruin,
but in its place he raises UP noble
temple built on solid and unshakable
pillars. And herein is revealed his
true greatness. The Righteousness OF
reason he opposed. He now points
out how that noble faculty when right
ly used is not an enemy, but hand
maid of faith.

A Remarkable Campaign
100000 is RAISED IN TEN DAYS
FOR PARoCHIAL SCHOOL.

A campaign conducted by Mr.. Shef-
field, who is well-known for his work
in the Northwest, to raise 100000 in
ten days, has just been concluded in
Washington, D. C. The object was to
obtain funds for the erection of a
girls parochial school in the parish
of st. Aloysius. The actual amount
raised was more than the goal of
100000. A remarkable part of the
work was that eighty-fve per cent of
the entire amount was contributed by
members of ST. Aloysius parish,
which, it seems, is not composed of
wealthy people.

REV. BERNARD C'REILLY WRITES
IN THE BALTIMORE SUN HIS
VIEWS OF CARRANZA'S LATEST
EFFORT.

Mexico has new Constitution It's
literary style is excellent. 1t is the
classic Castilian of old Spain and
makes good reading. 1t is difficult to
understand just why Mexico needed a
new Constitution as it had two per-
fectly good ones. The first Constitu-
tion was adopted in 1924 and served
it's purpose we'll until the ascendancy
of the cut-throat Juarez. who promul-
gated in 1857 the Constitution which
has since mis-goVerned beautiful, un-
happy Mexico.
AS we learned our lesson, Mr.. Car
rama was elected the head of the Con
stitutionalists. This title has been a
genuine asset. 1t seems strange that
if he was fighting for Constitution
he should have seen the necessity for
a new one. His friends explain the
vital necessity of laws for land re-
form. All these could have been ac-
complished through administrative
processes. The new Constitution has
seriously impaired the value OF the
CarranZa claim to Constitutionalist.
Yet when we consider the facility
with which the work was accomplish
ed, it would be no trouble to get up
a new Constitution any day to relieve
the monotony of the dry season. Mu-
nicipal elections were quietly held
Few knew that they were being held
| In all cases the Carranza ticket was
| chosen. The uniformity of the re.
turns did not give convincing evidence
of the existence of popular govern
ment in Mexico, but it did show that
Carranza followers nobly did their
| duty. The step was to elect dele
gates to the Constitutional Conven
| ton. The work was accomplished as
silently and as systematically as the
| municipal elections. The Carranza
delegates were elected and ready
made Constitution adopted by 8
marvellous unanimity The whole
thing was almost too easy under The
/ present military Dictatorship 1t wa!
so simple it is hardly interesting.
Our secular press comments on tht
new charter of Mexican liberties have
been few and short. Even the paper!
that are friendly to Carranza find lit
tie in the document to praise The!
seem to realize that the prominen
purpose of the new Constitution
would not find favor with the Ameri
can public. While few clauses o
the document deal with the rea
grievances of the Mexican people, tht
principal result is to strengthen th'
existing tyrannical laws against re
ligion. Few Americans seem to know
the conditions under which the Churcl
has tried to work in Mexico for th
past half a century. Ignorant an
vicious writer's have alike blamed tn
Church for the evils that have curse'
unfortunate Mexico. The surprising
thing is that there is no Christianit
or culture in the country. The Churcl
has been harassed and prosecuted a
every turn. She has not enjoyed tn
liberty that is accorded her i
Turkey. The history of the progres
of Constitutional Government in Me2
leo is story of official robbery an
suppression of natural rights
Americans only knew it's history the

THE MODERN DANCE

is not surprising that the music
should have come with them.
One of the excuses given for the
present passion for dancing is that
it furnishes an opportunity for ex-
ercise to those who are much in the
house and live very sedentary lives.
The dancing-exercise, however, as l
have seen it, is taken under the
worst possible conditions. Where
dancing takes place, smoking is al
most universally allowed. After an
hour or two the air is so thick that
one could almost cut it, and occa-
sionally one has the feeling when the
doors for a moment are opened wide
that large blocks of atmosphere are
being pushed out by the walters. AT
the beginning of the evening there is
little dust in the room, but as people
come in from the street and scrape
their shoes on the floor, they grind
the dirt into fine particles, and it floats
about, making very undesirable at
mospheric element.
