FAREWELL.

One Of the saddest duties be-
tween friend and friend is the
uttering Of the word, farewell. 1t
is trait Of human nature that
friendship binds together in firm
est bonds those whose qualities
have strongly attracted one an
other. After all, it is not the like
ness Of earthly station, social po-
sition Or financial condition, much
less the physical qualities, that
binds friends together. AT part
ing there always remains the hope
and the possibility of reunion and
of mutual enjoyment once more
Of these qualities Of mind and
heart which are cemented in the
word friendship. There is one
parting, however, which is IRE
vOcable: it is the final parting at
death. The loss Of a friend for a
short period Of time is distressing
to one who has ever experienced
the real pleasure Of such a union
but when death stalks in our
midst and places his icy hand on
the heart Of one who was closely
bound to us in the ties of friend
ship a darkness falls upon the
soul, gloom which nothing III
this world ever can dispel. AS
st. Augustine said, speaking or
this subject, Give me a friend
and he will understand what
mean. "

The Archbishops Of Canterbury
and York have issued a joint pas
toral letter to the clergy and laity
Of the Church Of England. They
state that there is already evil
dence over all parts Of the coun-
try that the Anglican Church
"has been really moved by the
call Of an inexpressibly solemn
time, and the heart Of the people
is open to receive the message
which is being spoken in Christ S
name" According to reports re-
ceived from various, sources the
present war has not produced any
noticeable increase in the re-
ligious spirit in the Anglican
Church. On the contrary Angli-
can clergymcn and religions
papers tell us that vice in Great
Britain has increased alarmingly.

THE PETERS PENCE
PRESENTED TO POPE BY MGR
O'HERN.

Mgr. O'Hern, assistant rector of the
American College in Rome, was re-
ceived by Pope Benedict in special
audience on Christmas day and pre-
scented to his holiness large offering
of Peters Pence from American do
ceses. The Holy Father, in warm
terms, expressed his gratitude for this
proof Of the continued generosity of
the children of the Church in the Unit
ed States. Their firm faith, their
devotion and loyalty to the Holy See,
and their unfailing liberality in help
ing to supply the financial needs of
the central government of the Church,
touched his heart deeply and he fer
vently blessed them.
On December 26 Pope Benedict re-
ceived in special audience the mem
bers of the Sacred College who are at
present in Rome-twenty-eight in
number-who expressed to him the
customary Christmas and New Years
greetings and wishes through their
dean, Cardinal Vannutelli.
A few days ago fifteen Cardinals
were present in the grand hall of the
Biblical Institute at a private exhibi-
ton of the motion picture, "Christus,
which is an artistic and rev
erent representation of the gospel
story. They were unanimous in de,
claring it to be an excellent produc-
ton. The film will soon be seen IN
the United States, where the right to
exhibit it has already been acquired.

Many parents seem to think
and then act on the thought-that
the school assumes all and every
responsibility with regard to their
offspring. The fact is that the
teacher is expected TO cultivate
the intellect Of the child, and to
instil moral principles into his
mind and heart. The home and
the school are two entirely differ
ent ambients. The parents are
obliged to watch over the devel-
opment Of those principles OF con-
duet that have been implanted by
school and church. Useless and
unerateful it. is to blame school
or teacher for the ultimate fail
ure Of the boy or girl in the game
Of life. The average parent has
but his own foolish indulgence OF
the child's whims to blame.

Death of Irish Nationalist

James J. O'Kelly, Nationalist mem
Der of the house of commons, died in
London on December %. Mr.. O'Kel-
ly, a member of the House of
Commons since 1895, was known
widely for his adventurous career.
He was one Of Parnelrs earliest re-
cruits in parliament. He fought in
the Franco-Prussian war, having a
commission in the French army. He
was born in Roscommon, Ireland, and
was in his seventy-first year.

One Of the most cheering
sights is that Of a married couple
who have preserved their original
heart and mind freshness down
through the stormy and cloudy
pathways Of life. SO rare are
they that usually this fact evokes
comment as to something extra
ordinary. Real and genuine
friendship always acts thus: but
such friendship is rare, it is for
but the chosen few. The major
ity Of mortals drift along subject
to every wind Of gossip, without
anchor or stability, distrustful OF
one another, and seeking personal
gain or advancement at the eX-
pense Of real peace. Compared to
true friendship, money, position
or power are fit only for ridicule
and pity. Better a true friend
than a Kingdom.

STORY OF BUCHAREST
ANCIENT ROUMANIAN CAPITAL
. HAS BEAUTIFUL CATHEDRAL.

Bucharest, like most Of the cities
of Eastern Europe, has had fair
share of calamities, but hitherto it
has suffered comparatively little by
warfare. The Turks burnt it in 1895,
and it was occupied by Turks, Aus
TRANS. and Russians in succession
during the Crimean war; but the
greatest disasters in it's history have
been due to earthquake and disease.
Plague visited Bucharest several times
as late as the 18th century, and in
1913 a terrible outbreak is said to
have carried off 10000 persons in six
weeks. In choosing for the time a
new capital Roumanian Ministers were
almost certain to fix on one that had
previously done duty centuries ago.
Jassy, the chosen center, is perhaps
the most illustrious. At the time
when Henry VIII was laying heavy
hand on England, Roumanian princes
were playing the despot on a smaller
scale. and sudden changes of palaces
were sometimes desirable. There
have been four capitals of Wallachia
and two of Moldayia. Of the former
two appear in the list of towns taken
by the enemy-Courtea d'Arges and
Campulung. Visitors to Courfea
imagining Roumania to have become
civilized only recently, are astonished
to find in this ancient capital one OF
the finest monuments of ecclesiastical
skill. The Cathedral was built, ac
cording to legend, by a master mason
who had been kept a prisoner in Con.
stantinople to complete mosque fol
the Sultan. Out. of the surplus mate
rails. which he was allowed to trans
port, the beautiful Cathedral arose

A Catholic should remember
that his religion does not neces-
sarily require that he be a boor
in regard TO manners or the nice
ties of life. We often meet Cath
olics Of this stamp who consider
their faith an excuse for uncouth-
ness Of manner and brusqueness OF
conduct. Christ was the most per-
feet gentleman, because He ever
respected the feelings of others.

Jassy, pronounced Yiisse, is supposed
to date from Roman times, but did not
become a town before the Middle
Ages. 1t has previously played an
important part in history. A treaty
made here with the Turks in 1872 ex-
tended the Russian frontier to the
Dniester. Here, too, the struggle for
Greek independence was begun by
Alexander Ypsilanti in 1921. me

THE PASSING OF A PIONEER

The death Of William Markoe
of White Bear Lake, chronicled
elsewhere in this issue, removes a
noted figure from the rapidly
thinning ranks of the pioneers
who saw the city Of st. Paul in
it's swaddling clothes and who, by
their integrity and industry,
helped to lay the foundation Of
that greatness Of which we OF
today are the benefciaries. He
lived to see the frontier village
put on the dignity Of a metropoli-
tan city and grow into the most
important commercial center OF
the Northwest.
With his passing away not only
does the city lose one of the
noblest Of her pioneer inhabitants,
but the Catholic Church mourns
the death of one Of her most de
voted sons. Mr.. Markoe had not
the blessed privilege Of being
born in the faith: it came to him
with the maturing OF his intel
Iectual powers, at a time when his
position in the ministry Of the
Episcopal Church held out the as
sured hope Of well-merited pro-
motion, and the guarantee Of a
competence that would make his
life free from financial worries.
He was a member Of a prominent
family; friends were numerous
and influential, and he could
legitimately aspire to the highest
position within the gift Of the
church which he served loyalty as
long as he felt convinced Of the
truth Of her doctrines. But with
deeper study and maturer thought
came change in his convictions.
He realized that the church Of his
youth could not make good her
claim to being the one true
church, and in obedience to the
voice Of conscience he embraced
Ethe Catholic Faith.
We who have been bred in the
Catholic Church cannot realize
what such a step involved. 1t
meant almost a complete change
of life, thought and action; the
severing Of old ties; the straining,
if not the actual breaking, of the
bonds Of cherished friendship; the
giving up Of an assured compe-
tence for a precarious living; the
REIMBURSEMENT of much that was
near and dear to him; the embark
ing upon a new career without
any assurance that the future
would be free from the stress OF
poverty. It was heroic step to
take; but in obedience to the
voice Of conscience he hesitated
not to make the change. Willing
Iy, nay rather, joyfully, he faced
poverty and self-denial with the
heroism of martyr, and during
the sixty years Of Catholic life al
llotted to him, he was exemplary
in his profession Of the one true
faith, uncompromisingly loyal te
the Church and devoted to her in.

The Holy Father is placed in a
delicate position in this time of
war and Of peace rumors. We
are constantly being informed that
he intends to do this or that, that
he will write a letter to this or
that government, or that he is tax
ing sides with one or another OF
the warning powers. AS loyal
Catholics we should refrain from
all comment, and refuse credence
to all such rumors. The Pope is
not accustomed to take the whole
world, through certain types OF
newspapers, into his confidence
when there is question OF prob
lens that concern vital subjects
like diplomatic or governmental
affairs.

The Catholic Columbian gives
this good advice: eve must try
to live in peace and goodwill with
our Protestant neighbors. We
must respect their sincerity in
their convictions. We should
pray God to grant them the gift
Of faith, and then we should so
live that our conduct will be an
argument for the Catholic re-
ligion.
