CHAPLAIN DECLINES GIFT
PASTOR REFUSES PURSE CON.
TRlBUTED BY POOR.

Rev. George Murphy, in taking leave
of the people of st. Lucy congrega-
ton, of Jersey City, New Jersey, to
assume his new duties as an army
chaplain, thanked them for the liberal
purse they had raised for him. He
felt it his duty, however, to decline to
accept the gift, inasmuch as he felt
in his heart that the donors had all
they could do, in times such as these,
to keep their homes and families in
comfort. Il know that none Of you
are millionaires and that many of you,
who contributed SO generously out of
your means, have hard struggle to-
keep your households going" said
Father Murphy. You will have to
face many privations, I am afraid, be-
fore this war is over, because of the
increased cost of the necessities of
life, due to scarcity and higher taxes.
At my earnest solicitation, therefore,
ther sums SO unselfshly given have
been returned to the donors"

The Flags Of Columbus
STANDARDS OF SPAIN AND OF
THE CROSS WERE CARRIED BY
THE GREAT DIscovERER.

On that fateful October IL, 1892,
when Columbus and his men had
thanked God upon Bonded knees for
the successful termination of their
hazardous voyage, the AdmiraPs next
act was the unfurling of two flags as
he took possession of the new lands,
for the crown of Spain.
The first of these flags was the royal
standard of Spain. This had the en-
lblems of both CASTLE and Leon, the
two Kingdoms of Spain, upon it. On
fields Of red, two golden castles repre-
sented CASTLE and two red lions on
white fields stood for Leon.
The other banner was called the
Flag Of the Expedition. 1t twas pure
white and of a swallow-tailed form"
the old chronicles tell us. In the CEN
ter was green cross, the green sig
nifying Hope and the cross, the Chris
tianity which he hoped to make known
to the people of whatsoever lands he
should discover. Beneath the arms
of the cross were two golden crowns
Under one Of these was the letter # r
the initial of King Ferdinand's name.
Below the other was the letter esY" the
initial Of Queen isabella,

then, that thousands of soldiers will
be stationed at these places before
sailing for France, and there is great
need for the kind of work which the
knights Of Columbus are doing at
other encampments. 1t is thought
that permission to enter more mobili-
cation points will be secured within
the week.
To Secure chaplains.
The noble work of supplying Cath
Ole chaplains to those units of which
the commissioned chaplain is nom
Catholic is progressing rapidly under
the direction of the Rev. Lewis
O'Hern, G. S. P. The bill providing
for the increase of the chaplain corps
of the army has been deferred, and
this means that the Knights of CO.
lumbus must provide for more chap
lains who are to be supported out of
the general fund. According to the
present law but one chaplain is al
lowed for every 5000 men. Thirty
six per cent of the entire chaplain
quota are Catholic priests, which
means that there is but one priest for
every 10000 men.
The need of Knights of Columbus
chaplains may be seen from these
figures, and the Catholic parents of
this country who have sent their sons
to the army may have the consolation
of knowing that through the Knights
of Columbus fund every Catholic boy
will be given the opportunity of hear
ing Mass and of frequenting the
Sacramento at the proper times. The
following chaplain appointments were
made recently: Rev. w. J. Gibson, Of
Scranton, to Camp Mcclellan, Annis-
ton, Alabama; Rev. Joseph Tomerlin,
OF Montgomery, Alabama, to Camp
Sheridan, Montgomery; Rev. William
]. Lallou, of Philadelphia, to Camp
Hancock, Augusta, Georgia; Rev.
Timothy Murphy, o. S. B., of Shawnee,

Although there were many responses
to Father sO'Hern's appeal for French
| speaking chaplains willing to go
abroad, but few could be accepted as
the applicants in majority of cases
were not fully naturalized This is
important, as those who are not
American citizens will have to return
| to this country within six months, a
condition which makes the use of I'M
naturalized chaplains impractical.
| Father O'Hern hopes that more
| French speaking priests who are fully
! naturalized, if not American born,
who are less than forty years of age
and who are physically able to meas
ure up to regular army standards will
| apply for this service. If the amend
ment increasing the quota of chap
lains is passed at the next session of
Congress, these Knights of Columbu
auxiliary chaplains will be given first

waste by fire and sword, and the re-

itual ministration and made captive

hostile attacks by the Skraelings,
which resulted in the destruction of

made to send aid to the scattered
Norsemen, particularly by Eric Walk

Trondhjem in Norway; but all came
to naught. So the few remaining Vik-
ings were after 1850 or thereabout left
to their own resources, and were
gradually absorbed by native Eskimo
population.
However, traces of Catholic adher-
ence remained, notably the veneration
of corporal on which years before
the Body of Our Lord had been conse-
Grated by the last priest. And with
the er-to-be-forgotten year of 1892
came Columbus and his Faith to
American shores.

intermissions the Catholic Church as
an organized body for nigh a thousand
years.

RESOLUTIONS PASSED THE PAST
WEEK BY THE EXECUTIVE
BOARD IN SESSION AT lcINcIN-
NATL

a-4 81 t. =
The executive board of the Internal
tional Federation of Catholic Alumnae
closed its annual meeting Thursday,
October II, in Cincinnati. At the clos
ing session of the executive board the
following resolutions, introduced by
Mrs. Daniel V. Gallery, of Chicago,
were adopted.
Resolutions.
Whereas, At our last convention,
held in Baltimore in November, the
United States not being then in the
war, this Federation passed resolu-
ton endorsing the cause of peace; and
Whereas, This organization, the in
slant war was declared, felt that there
was only one way to bring about
peace, and that was to fight for it, and
it at once pledged its loyalty to the al.
lied cause; therefore, be it
Resolved, That it now reiterates
that pledge, the pledge of fifty thou
sand Federated women in every State
in the Union, in the Provinces Of
Canada, and as far north. as Alaska:
and it offers its services whenever
and wherever the Government calls.
1t urges cooperation in food conserva-
ton, purchase of Liberty Bonds, the
education of child victims of the war,
support of moral zones surrounding
army environments, and systematic aid
in providing proper homes for girls,
f1ocking into cities to succeed to the
work of soldiers. This work will be
facilitated by cooperating with the
Wonan's Committee Of the Council of
National Defense, the National Catho--
lie War Council, and the knights of
Columbus.
Whereas, The Feast Of the Immac-.
ulate Conception, December 8, is the.
Patronal Feast of the Church in the
United States, and is also the special
feast, under whose auspices this IN.
ternational Federation was founded;
and 7:
