not quite so. The Germans picked him

Catholics know that there is only one
true religion, and that in proportion
as that religion spreads and takes
root the future safety of our land and
it's ideals will be guaranteed. 1t is
for this reason that devout and pa
triotic Catholics pour forth prayers
to the throne of the Almighty for the
conversion of those who have not the
full light of Gods truth. ST. Rose, by
the example of her life and by her
prayers, has helped many of her
countrymen to a knowledge of the
truth. She is interested in the
spread of the Faith in this country,
because being the first saint Of the
American Church, she cannot but
wish to see the life of grace become
more and more operative amongst us.
Every Catholic is therefore kindly
invited, nay, urged, to join in the
Crusade with a right good heart.
Talk about it to your friends, be-
cause it is something which will ap-
peal to every patriotic Catholic
Under the banner of st. Rose, dur
ing this anniversary year, Catholics
will be glad to march to the feet of
the Great White Throne, asking for
her sake a blessing upon our land,
and a auickening of life in the Ameri-
can Church.

All Catholic Spain is preparing to
celebrate the solemn third centenary
of the illustrious Jesuit, Francis
Suarez, light of the Church." as a
Supreme Pontiff calls him. The en-
thusiasm which the idea of this cele-
bration has aroused is such that the
Directive Committee has decided to
publish a Bulletin which will give an
account of the whole movement. The
committee of Barcelona has organ
lied a series of lectures to popularize
the work of the immortal theologian,
and has prepared in Latin the invita-
ton to the Congress, so that it may
be sent all over the world. The
Pope's Secretary of State, Cardinal
Gasparri, has in the name of the Holy
Father sent special letter to the
Head Committee, approving the cele-
bration of the centenary, praising
highly the learned doctor, and grant
ing the Apostolic blessing to all who
in any way should cooperate to the
success Of the centenary of the great

Brief Reviews and Notices

Garcia Moreno's Death: A modern
tragedy in five acts. By Frederick
M. Lynx, S. V. D., Mission Press,
Techny, Ill. Price, 25 cents.
This drama forms volume one of a
series to be issued for the use of
Catholic parishes and colleges. The
play deals with the closing career of
Gabriel Garcia Moreno who was born
in Ecuador in 1921. Throughout his
life Moreno was the implacable enemy
of the Masons. He finally fell a vic
tic, through his love for the Church,
and was assassinated in 1875. The
play requires a large cast of charac-
tiers. 1t is intensely dramatic and
carries the reader along without a
halt to the very end. We commend
the idea of placing on the stage for
Catholic audiences such examples of
fearless intrepidity as that furnished
by the hero of Ecuador.
A Lily of the Snow: st. EuIaIia of
Merida. By F. A. Forbes. Pub
lished by the Encyclopedia Press,
New York. Price, 25 cents a copy.
This dainty playlet from the pen
of Mother Forbes will doubtless be
welcomed by our academies and con-
vent schools. The scenes of the play
are laid in early Christian times and
remind one strongly of the life and
heroism of such early Christian mar
tyrs as st. Agnes, st. Justina, and st.
Domitilla. The scenes from the life
of this child saint are arranged in
dramatic order. They eliminate by
her defiance of Diocletians emissary
and her subsequent martyrdom. This
touching playlet can be high recon-
mended to all those who are inter
ested in school dramatics.
