MARYkNoLL ORDINATIONS.

On December 5th the Catholic For
eign Mission Society of America called
to sacred orders several of it's aspirant
members. At the hands of Bishop
Cusack of Albany, three of the stu
dents, Francis Xavier Ford, Alphonse
Stephen Vogel and William Francis
O'Shea, received holy priesthood; Rob-
ert j. Cairns, deaconship; Anthony p.
Hodgins, subdeaconship; and two 9TH
ers received minor orders.
To those who have at heart the
conversion of the pagans, it is reassur-
ing to note that Americas prepare
tions to place a mighty army for dem
ocracy in Europe have not compelled
the abandonment of her noble purpose
to send soldiers of Christ to the heath
en- nations of Asia and Africa.
While helping to make the world
safe for democracy, we can and should
at the same time continue our efforts
to make it safe for Christianity. To
bring the message of the Prince of
Peace to the heather is Maryknoll's
mission, and we wish her Godspeed.

WAR IS TESTING
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
Practitioners and Board of Control at
Variance on Exemption.

New York, Dec. 2O.-The Christian
Scientists are up against stiff propo-
sition. 1t may mean reputation of
some Of their cherished theories or
new and serious split in the denomi-
nation.
Some of the leaders are claiming
exemptions from military service on
conscientious grounds as practitioners
and as readers, which is another name
for Christian Science preachers. The
Board of Control in Boston, the birth
place and home of the Christian Sci
ence faith, states that such reasons
are not valid and that they do not
properly represent Christian Science.
The question is not only how can
Christian Scientist on grounds of con-
science or consistency oppose war, but
also, by what authority does the Board
of Control attempt to settle the ques-
ton when their church teaches that
the Spirit will direct each individual
and show him the path he should fol-
low? The Christian Scientist pro-
fesses to be a believer of law. The
basis of his law is belief in divine
law, out of which all other laws
spring. If civil authority be of God,
and the Bible says it is, then the Fed
eral CONSUMPTION act must be obeyed.
This is both Christian and scientific.
But if an Individual member of the
Christian Science Cult finds no such
argument but on the contrary finds
that war is always and essentially
wrong, the consistent reader must adj
nit that he is in conscience bound to
act according to his findings and re-
fuse to go to war. Verify, it is dill
emma.
There is another angle which is
none the less embarrassing. 1t is the
natural side of the question. To re-
fuse to go to the front would be an adj
mission that bullets kill. The good,
patriotic Scientist could not consist
emily allow the possibility that any
faithful follower of the cult could
come to harm while battling for his
country's flag.
1t is supreme test for the Sci
enlist. He must obey the law because
obedience to the law is fundamen-
tai of his religion. He cannot dodge
the responsibility for fear of personal
danger because that does not exist
in the code of the Scientist. At the
same time the Spirit is telling him
that war is all wrong. The outcome
will be interesting.

The Callan Guardians, on the mo-

protest against the Imprisonment in

return from America for actions which
they consider legal.
Patrick Cory, grocer and spirit deal
er, Mountmellick, refused in the Bank
ruptcy Court to give the names of the
persons to whom it was alleged he had
sold his furniture. The people were
near relatives, he said, and that was
his reason for refusing. His wife, ex-
amined in his absence, was asked
what had become of her 100 pound
fortune, and 1876 pound, the proceeds
of Guinness Stock, while there was
61S pounds due for goods. She re-
piled that she had paid 500 pounds.
Mr.. Justice Pim-Don't talk nonsense.
Where is the money? l haven't a

NOT "BEYoND," BUT THE LIMIT
John GaIsworthy's Latest Novel I'm
wholesome Reading.
Should Be Barred From the Open
Shelves of Our Libraries.

The last issue of the yale Review
contains an article by Katharine Full
! lerton Gerould: "The British Novel
lists, Ltd" which repeatedly refers to
the English writer Galsworthy What
it says of him is not at ali laudatory.
There always are long descriptions
Of nature in Mr.. Galsworthys novels, y
runs one passage, 'and if they are
delicately confused with mating ami
mails and human sex impulses, and
all the connotations of stirring sap
and swelling buds and the like, that
will certainly not make them any less
popular" He is accused of not know
ing what he thinks about life; "as
far as one can make out, he thinks
that most people are sensual that
everybody ought to be kind, and that
there is a sustaining sanction for sex
emotion in the fauna and flora of Eng
land" Mr. Galsworthy's style is COM
pared to a purely vegetarian meal
"Only the graminivorous should read
the later Galsworthy," continues the
critic. "And he will not rid himself
of that fault (vagueness of style) by
being increasingly explicit about SEX
ual emotions"
And all this was written before that

said of this book? A story of illegi-

publication, published most scath-
ing review of Beyond" which elected
a number of commendatory communi-
cations from among the readers of
that journal. Thus one parent wrote:

readers throughout the country in ask

fortunately, before it could be criti-
cised on it's appearance as a IS. novel,
this indecent stuff had already accom-
plished it's evil work by being scat
tered broadcast over our poor coun-
try in one of the cheap magazines
truly noble piece of war-work for a
high-minded CD philanthropist where
with to help to train the growing
youth of the country at this time!
when all our noblest and best are
pouring out their blood in France to
preserve the sanctity of home and our
existence as a nation. Every decent
man and woman will heartily endorse
every word you say, for it is just what
has been thought and felt for months
about these disgusting stories."
In spite of such criticism an Ameri-
can publisher has seen fit to foist
Galsworthy's Beyond" on an unsus-
pecting public. 1t will therefore put
in it's appearance in book stores and
on the open shelves of our Public Ii
braries, unless the public, especially
parents, take steps to prevent it's cir
culation. We do not wish to go to
the length of the Englishman who,
writing to the Saturday Review"
says: What we parents want is to
see all such literature ruthlessly con-
fscated by a courageous censor" But
we do hope that influence may be
brought to bear upon librarians so
that they will not permit this book
and others of the same nature to be
circulated.
