and successful work. In spectacular
effect, beauty, originality, surprises,
and, above ALL in elevated tone of in
tellectual and spiritual splendor, it will
transcend many of the productions of
the modern stage. 1t appeals to the

Ushers of Cathedral Have Gone to
War.-Rev. Francis Gilfillan, pastor of
| the new Cathedral, of st. Louis, Mo,
| is proud Of the patriotism of his par
| ish, but finds that the enthusiasm of
! his young men has almost annihilated
| his large corps of ushers. Thirty OF
the finest usherS in the United
States" in Father Gilfillans phrase,
kept things moving smoothly, in other
| days, at the new Cathedral. Now
twenty of these are gone. They have
enlisted in all ranks, from aviation to
summarizing, and the ten who are left
show signs of similar disappearance
Monsignor Major.-The Adiutant
| General of the State of New York re-
Gently notified Mgr. James n. Connol-
| ly, rector of the Church of Our Lady
of Good Counsel, that the grade of
major had been conferred upon him.
! Mgr. Connolly has been with the
| Twelfth New York Infantry, n. C. Z.
S., for the past eighteen years as
chaplain, and his laborious work
among the men and his indefatigable
attention to their spiritual and tempo
raj wants have been known to the Off
GERS and men for many years. In
recognition of such labors it was deem
ed fitting that he be given a higher
grade than that Of captain, which
rank he formerly held. Mgr. Connolly
was a volunteer chaplain in the Span
ish-American War, seeing service
afloat and ashore, both in Cuba and
Porto Rico, and the great amount OF
good he accomplished in such service
has been the subject of highest com
ment by government officials. He re-
Gently returned from active service on
the Texas border
College Asks HeIp.-Rev. Richard R
Rooney, S. j., asks us to make an ur'
| s., Ill -,
Belize, British Honduras. We do not
hear much about conditions in Central
America, but our correspondent affirms
that they will soon resemble those OF
Mexico. Born to the inheritance OF
the Faith, the people have drifted into
a very lax moral condition. Liberty OF
thought is the cry, and what higher
education is obtained is from the
Protestant universities in the United
States. The Jesuits have now small
one on the sea-coast, in full view Of
steamers plying between New Orleans
and Central America. Such location
will be it's best advertisement anC
serve to attract the Latin Americans
to the advantages offered by their owl
country. Offerings for this cause viii
be transmitted by the national Office
of the Propagation of the Faith.
Venerable Jesuit.-At St. Stanislaus
House of Retreats, Brooklyn Station
Cleveland, Ohio, recently Rev. Francis

and feeble in the service of his Lord
celebrated the siXtieth anniversary OF
his enrolment among the soldiers OF
Christ. st. Ignatius in founding a new
religious order to fight the battles OF
the Lord called it the Company OF
Jesus. To this company Father Brey
mann gave his name in 1857 and ever
since he has been on the firing line
Of late years his service has been one
of prayer and the suffering attendant
days he has not been idle. With some
aid he translated from the German
THE Holiness of the Church in the
Nineteenth Century," work that has
brought forth commentator from
many magazines. Father Breymann
has been unable to say Mass for the
past two years, but he was consoled
on Sunday by the many Masses and
prayers offered to thank God for his
sixty years of religious life and to beg
abundant graces for his remaining
years.
