es a wonderful improvement in the
building of St. Martins Academy
The convent building has had another
story added TO it in order TO afford
accommodation TO the increased
attendance of pupils. But the
browning work Of making a progress
sive and beautiful home for the young
people sent here is the interior decora-
ton Of the chapel Mr. Stable, an ar
fist from Switzerland who has an in
ternational reputation as a mural dec
orator, has been engaged for several
months in painting the walls and cell
ing of the new concrete chapel. He
has given good evidence Of his ability.
The middle Of the ceiling is bright
ened with three splendid life-sized
paintings, one depicting the Nativity
of our Lord, a second the Assumption
Of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and the
third, Jesus, Sun Of Justice. On either
side Of the ceiling are the writer's of
the four Gospels. Saints Matthew,
Mark, Luke, and John, also st. Peter
and st. Paul.
In the side chapels used by the
Benedictine Sisters, the walls are dec
grated with life-siZed paintings Of the
Death of st. Benedict, and the Death
OF st. Scholastica. At opposite ends of
these chapels are the beautifully
wrought Latin notices, "Domus mea
domus orationis vocabitur," and "Ecce
tabernaculum Del cum hominibus; ct
habitabit cum els
The painting is the work of a master
hand and with the subdued coloring
and shading OF the walls and the light
from the stained glass windows, the
convent chapel is indeed beautiful
place Of worship and has few equals
from the standpoint of interior finish
and mural decoration.

Awakening Among AngIicans
SIGNS THAT INDICATE A TENDEN-
CY OF THE CHURCH OF ENG
LAND TO RETURN TO A VENEER
ALTON OF SACRED IMAGES.

The present war in Europe has
drawn straight and clear the line of
demarcation between the Catholic re-
ligion and the various sects. Accord
ing to authorities on both sides, to the
Catholic cOmbatant, religion means
everything: to the non-Catholic it
means little. The Anglican Bishop Of
Birmingham, England, recently wrote
a letter to his diocese in which, among
other things, he says:
II have been greatly interested in,
and touched by, the services in con-
nection with the dedication of shrines
in several parishes, and | wish it to
be understood that such memorials
are regarded by me with the very
highest favor. 1t is delightful to think
of the people in some Of our streets,
putting, week by week, flowers at the
shrines, and remembering in prayer,
as they pass by, those who are giving
themselves so nobly, as our sailors
and soldiers are doing, for their coun-
try. | should be only too thankful if
there were many more signs of our
Christianity to be seen along our
streets and in our country roads and
lanes. 1t is to me puzzle why people
to whom the Sacrifice Of our Blessed
Lord means everything, SO often OBJ
ject to memorials reminding them OF
His great Offering; at any rate, am
prepared to stand by those who make
much of the great emblem of our
faith"

European Refugees Arrive
A THOUSAND POLISH AND BEL
CLAN REFUGEES LAND IN
NEW YORK CITY.

Nine hundred and sixty-five refugees
from Belgium and Russian Poland ar
rived recently from Rotterdam on the
steamship Nieuw Amsterdam of the
Holland-American line. The Belgians,
numbering 221, were brought here by
the Belgian Relief society OF Chicago
through the efforts Of Father John
Deyille Of Chicago, who has been en-
gagged in refugee work abroad. They
will make their homes with relatives
in the middle west.
With the Belgians were 744 Rus
sian Poles, in charge of Henry c. Ia
70. They had been sent over by the
aid of various Polish societies. Many
Of the children among the refugees
were inadequately clothed, but the
American Red Cross dispatched to the
liner in quarantine a supply of 25O
children's outfits, including under
wear, caps, mittens and stockings, to
keep the youngsters warm on their
journey to the west.

CATHOLICS In WAR
SPIRIT OF CATHOLICS AT FRONT
is FAR DIFFERENT FROM THAT
OF THE VARIOUS sECTs.

Here is testimony from letter writ
ten by British officer in Flanders to
his sister, lady now residing in Pied
mont, Cal:
"The chaplain at the front is not
present in great numbers. There are
about twelve to a division 100000
men)-four Catholics, four Church of
England, and four Noncomformists.
Every Sunday there are compulsory
church parades. Church parades are
the most completely perfunctory af-
fairs that l have ever seen in my life.
The men hate them like poison, and
groWl nightly at being drawn for
them.
Contrast this with what | am now
going to tell YOU Of late | have been
shooting over an Irish regiment who
Can ancient priviiege) have their own
chaplain. Father Doyle is his name,
an English Jesuit, and in the two or
three nights that we have spent to-
gether, | have howled with JOY over
the tales of the Catholic side Of the
case. This good man, instead Of hav-
ing to work up interest in the minds
of his fighting parish, is worked hard
to satisfy their spiritual needs. Every
morning he says Mass for the reserve
company behind the trenches, at
which every free man is present, a
couple of times each week. Every
evening he says the Rosary in the
hn y1yho
battalion, and at the end administers
general absolution to every man there.
quite as often as not he is cut
down to two or three decades by hos
tile Smelling, and once, at least, men
have been killed and wounded by Ger
man fire while the Rosary was being
said Add to this that when the regi-
ment is out at rest, every man comes
faithfully to the Sacramento, and
that, in times of strafeing, this in
trepid priest goes straight to the front
lines and abSolves the wounded and
the dying, and you have a picture OF
what the Church can mean to men OF
faith in the midst of sudden death
He had told me that some of the acts
of contrition Of the wounded men
have been the most wonderful things
he has ever listened to-perfect con

''The other morning 1 was at Mass
just behind the lines-two planes over
head most of the time; machine guns

to beat the band; an occasional shell
somewhere in the rear-the whole
thing was intensively dramatic. A
number of Anglican chaplains have

die of war; that or agnosticism was
all that was left to the ones who faced

fox looked out the win

words-"the fox looked out the win
dow"
He leads us through the "pale child
hood of our Lord to His yet sadder
manhood, with a mystic grace that
kindles our love rather than our pity,
for back of it all is the strong free will
of God, and we know that all His
choosing. When he would describe
the winsomeness of our Lord he re-
lates the call of Matthew rough
mana publican, who, seeing Jesus
pass, left all things and followed
Him."
Perhaps, the most striking chapter
in the whole volume is that wherein
he visualizes the passion and death of
our Lord. Here the intensity of a
Celtic nature reused by the poignant
pathos of his subject, filings him on
the primitive for it's expression, and
it is not his own style, but that of re-
mote ancestors that flows from his
pen. 1t is the speech of time when
the lips said less and the heart more.
The arrangement Of his subject sug-
gests the "cooines" that were received
on the death Of u we'll beloved tribal
leader. He first describes the death
Of our Lord, if He had to die with all
the honor and glory and grandeur that
his heart can suggest, and then beside
it puts the pitiable story Of what did
happen.
The reader cannot help feeling sorry,
that the same hand which guided us
through the grief of the passion did
not continue its guidance through the
white joy of the resurrection and the
wonderful forty days that terminated
on Mount Oliyet. The last few chap
tiers are of a rather polemical nature,
useful to those who are often called on
to give reason for the faith that is
in them.

written for The Catholic Bulletin by
Helen Hughes HieIscher.)

desk a little book which gave me so
much pleasure and profit in the read

The author, Very Rev. James G.
Byrne, enjoys the reputation Of being
a scholarly man, among those who
have the pleasure of his acquaintance,
but his scholarship must be long
worn garment, for it fits him so easily
that his readers have no hint that it is
an acquired mantle; it is only when
we find ourselves enlightened at every
page-at every sentence, one might
say-that the erudition of the writer
steals on us and we realize that we
have been sitting at the feet of mas
ter
With a simpleness that is born Of
knowledge, he leads us to the poor
little house at Bethlehem, and we
hardly know whether we are reading
his words or are ourselves meditatins
on that wonder of love, that made the
| Godhead and the Little Baby in The
manger one. The glory of Monarch'
is seen in it's fieetingness by the ligh
