Gives Description Of
Great ChaIice
PORTRAITS OF CHRIST AND APOS-
TIES SEEM TO HAVE BEEN
TAKEN FROM LIFE.

The Rev. Joseph Husslein, S. j., the
other day went to Kouchakju Freres
in New York City to inspect the great
Chalice of Antioch, dating to the first
century, an account of which was
given in The Catholic Bulletin several
weeks ago. Father Husslein, who was
particularly interested in the alleged
portraits of Christ and the Apostles,
sculptured on the chalice, writes as
follows in America:
1T is no eXaggeration to speak of
them as portraits. The difference in
type and expression could not be more
marked, and would seem to indicate
that they were either taken directly
from life, or from the descriptions
given the artist by those who had ia
military known the various persons.
Some of the faces are seen at the
tlrst glance to be perfectly wrought
in spite of their minuteness. Others
at first appear as a mere blur, due in
part, if not entirely, to oxidation, but
stand out with lifelike light and mag
MITIGATION. The workmanship is not
always equally perfect, but the artist
| at his best is excellent in his craft.
The figures themselves are entirely
| classical in their drapery, repose of
posture and skilful finish.
THE face of Our Lord, as he ap-
| pears on the front of the chalice, is
beardless, as He is likewise pictured
| in other early representations. The
| upper portion of His features seems
to have been wrought, in some con.
ventlonal manner, producing the de.
sired effects of light and shade at a
| distance. The essential characteristic
however, which Our Divine Savior
has given us in His own words as AIDE
| quately descriptive of Himself, is
| caught with devotional and artistic
| sureness of touch: His meekness and
humility of heart, virtues which cap
tiVated so many hearts,

THE MODERN DANCE

although these two have been thought
the most fruitful sources of "colds" in
recent years. Certainly for anyone
with a predisposition to tuberculosis
nothing can be imagined or contrived
so deleterious as the conditions of
cabaret or supper-dancing.
The dancing is usually preceded by
eating and drinking. This adds an
other element, which, from physi-
clans standpoint, must be regarded
as injurious. l believe that in Uncle
Remus the bear suggests to Brer Rab-
bit that he can eat no more until he
has danced his stomach down." though
stomach is not the word that the bear
used, for in the woods they are very
frank. The bear, however, is the only
advocate, so far as | know, of exer-
else Immediately after eating. Such
practice is bad for any one, but
especially SO for thin, dyspeptic or
supposedly dyspeptic people. To make
matters worse the present fad puts
the exercise between courses; and it
| is one of the surprises of an evening
of this kind, to see how many club
sandwiches, with pickles and beets
and olives and mustard, interlarded
with ice cream and tarts or other
pastry, can be eaten by a thin, deli
cate-looking, little girl, who uses the
interval between dances to consume
hastily new and unusual forms of
food.
When | recall how intent we have
been for twenty years on explaining
health rules in the schools, in order
to teach our people how to care for
themselves, the picture of the cabaret
and its dancers insistently rises before
me. The smoke, the dust, the Earring
exercise Immediately after eating, or
rather, as an interlude to the eating
the late hours, the glazing lights, the
mixture of materials that the stomach
IS called upon to absorb, for | have
not mentioned the fluids, there are, il
not the result, at least, the con
comitants of our increased knowledge
of how to be we'll, and of the constan
relteration of the rules of health by
newspaper, magazines and teachers
1t is incredible.
1t is a salutary thing for us tt
'objectivize" ourselves OCCASIONAL,
and laugh at our absurdities. How
ridiculous our generation is with it,
pretense to knowledge and culture
and its weak yielding to the tyrann,
OF passing fads! What others do
we must do. We are like dum1
driven cattle, blindly following blint
leaders. And yet man is man, mainl.
by his individuality, by his power t,
think for himself and to do what h,
personally judges to be right. VIII.
are we Americans dancing morning
noon, and night? He would be a rasl
man who would hazard even a guess.

A Royal Superstition

Canterbury Cathedral, England, like
most Catholic cathedrals, is decorated
with innumerable inches for statues.
At Canterbury series of these inches
is occupied with statues of kings and
queens of England, and there are only
four inches left unoccupied. An old
tradition has it that when all the
inches are filled the throne of England
will come to an end. Queen Victoria
was approached with a view to a
statue of herself being placed in one
of the four remaining inches, but her
late majesty was aware of the old
tradition and refused. One wonders
whether in the future there will be
four monarchs of England sufficiently
Indifferent to superstition to defy the
tradition and allow their efffgies to
fill the unoccupied spaces.

Tells Of Mexico's Plight
CONDITIONS ARE SAID TO RIVAL
THOSE OF FRENCH REVOLU-
TON.

The Rev. Isidore Dryer, G.. p, who
has returned to Mount Adams, Gin
cinnati, after a series of missions in
Colorado and New Mexico, where he
met number of Mexican refugees,
has given another newspaper inter
view, in addition to the one produced
recently, telling about the frightful
prosecutions of the Church in the
southern republic
Conditions in Mexico rival those OF
the French Revolution" said Father
Isidore, G.. P. Senior Iberto Gomez,
who accompanied Father Isidore to
Ohio, was majordomo of a large haci-
enda in the state of Zelaya. He was
forced to flee to the United States.
The tactics of all bandits are the
same, according to Father Isidore.
When they enter town they first de-
prive the people Of all arms. They
then commander all food and vehi-
cles, loot churches, enter homes,
shoot some of the most prominent cit
liens and drag their bodies around the
town as an example to the already
terrified populace. AS general rule,
they then seize clergymen, he de-
clared, and demanded an eXorbitant
sum as ransom, which the poor people
cannot obtain.
In the state Of Zelaya the bandits
held the Bishop in the most abject
slavery until the people raised $780,
900 as a ransom, he said.
Senior Gomez said that the majority
of the poems do not care to better
their conditions, as shown by the fact
that the proprietor of the hacienda of
which he was majordomo offered his
hundred poems a plot of ground, stock
and implements, so that they could be
self-supporting. Nearly all refused
the offer, he said, as they would rath-
er work under someone and be as
sured of a good livelihood than to as.
sumo the responsibility of managing
their own land.
In comparing the governors of Mex
lean states, Father Isidore said that
Felix Diaz was the best. He said that
although it was not generally known
Diaz has control of large district
around Oaxaja. Zapata is not so harsh
as either Villa or Carranza When
Zapata gets in town, the first thing
he does is to reopen the churches and
give the people more freedom than
they have had for long time, he
averred.

HONORS in SPAIN
KING ALFONSO HONORED FOR
WORK IN BEHALF OF WAR
PRISONERS.

King Alfonso, whose escape from
death was almost miraculous, has re-
ceived delegation from all the
municipalities of Spain, who offered
him the Grand Cross of Renaissance
as a recompense for his humanitarian
work in favor of the prisoners of war.
The Mayor of Madrid was the spOkes-
man for his colleagues and explained
to the sovereign the desire of the
provinces. The King replied that the
name of Spain will figure with glory
in contemporary history. Our coun-
try, he said, represents in the Euro
pean conflict the humanitarian ideals.
1t is not | who should wear the insig-
MIA of the Grand Cross of Bienfais-
ance. 1t is Spain which should wear
it on her glorious flag. Therefore |
will place the insignia of this cross
on the standards of the regiment
which bears my name. The names
Spain and Alfonso will then remain
allied in memory"

PASTORAL LETTER

God treats man according to man S
will; when man aspires only for earth
ly goods, he may obtain them, but lose
the spiritual and eternal goods. The
Saviour speaks of men who have al
ready received their reward" How
terrible is the history of Dives and
poor Lazarus. There was rich man
who was clothed in purple and fine
linen and Toasted sumptuously every
day. And there was a certain beggar,
named Lazarus, who lay at his gate,
full of sores, desiring to be filled with
the crumbs that fell from the rich
mans table, and no one did give him.
And it came to pass that the beggar
died, and was carried by the angels to
Abraham's bosom. And the rich man
also died and he was buried in hell"
| And there he had to hear these words
from Abraham: Son, remember that
thou didst receive good things in thy
lifetime, and likewise Lazarus evil
things; but now he is comforted, and
thou art tormented." -Luc. 16, 10, etc.
D. Temporal goods are changed
into eternal goods when we use them
for the honor of God and the welfare
Of our fellow men. Our divine Saw
Jour Himself tells us the history of the
unjust steward and admonishes us:
Make unto you friends of the mann
mon of iniquity, that when you shall
fail, they may receive you into ever
| lasting dwellings. "-Luc. Is, 9.
4. Our first and most important
duty in regard to temporal goods, as
st. Augustine declares, consists there
in, that we possess them and they
not us, that we hold them and they not
us, that we be their masters and not
their servants whatsoever loves
earthly riches so much as to forget
his God, and treat his neighbor I'M
justly and uncharitably, and use tenn
poral riches as means for sin, is not
their master, but their slave. May
God preserve us from such slavery.
Our duties in the use of temporal
goods are partly. duties of Justice, and
partly duties Of charity. Now, the du-
ties of justice require that we give
to every one what belongs to him, that
we deprive no one of his legitimate

manifold offences given to Him by
our disobedience, and thus He has
redeemed us from the eternal punish
ment which we had deserved. There

They Say | Do Not Love Thee"

They say | do not love thee,
Flag of my native land,
Whose meteor-folds above me
To the free breeze expand
Thy broad stripes proudly streaming,
And thy stars so brightly beaming.
They say | would forsake thee,
Should some dark crisis lower,
That, recreant, I should make thee
Crouch to foreign power;
Seduced by license ample,
On thee, blest flag, to trampIe.
False are the words they utter,
Ungenerous their brand,
And rash the oaths they mutter,
Flag of my native land;
While still, in hope, above me
Thou wavest-and | love thee.
They say that bolts of thunder,
Hurled by the Pontiff's hand,
May rive and bring thee under,
Flag of my native land,
And with one blow discover
My heart from thee forever.
God is my loves first duty,
To whose eternal name
Be praise for all thy beauty,
Thy grandeur and thy fame;
But ever have | reckoned
Thine, native flag, its second.
Woe to the foe or stranger
Whose sacrilegious hand
Would touch thee or endanger,
Flag of my native land!
Though some would fain discard thee
Mine should be raised to guard thee
Then wave, thou first of banners,
And in thy genial shade
Let creeds, opinions, manners,
In love and peace be laid
And there, all discord ended.
Our hearts and souls be blended
Stream on, stream on before us,
Thou labarum of light,
While in one general chorus,
Our vows to thee we plight;
Unfaithful to thee, Never!
My country's flag forever!

receive their true value and dignity.
Temporal goods are used for Jesus
Christ directly in building and beauti
tying churches and providing for the
DIVINE Service; for Jesus Christ is
really and truly present in the Blessed
Sacrament which is always the center
OF every Catholic worship. We are
grateful to God that in many congre-
cations of the diocese there have been
found Catholics who made great finan-
clal sacrifices for Jesus Christ in the
most holy Sacrament of the Altar. In
those congregations where this spirit
OF Sacrifice is wanted, | beg priests
and people before all to vivify their
falth In the Eucharistic presence of
Christ; then the joy of sacrifice for
the house of God will surely be aug
mented and they will also initiate the
Prophet who says: "How lovely are
thy tabernacles, o Lord of hosts. My
soul longeth and fainteth for the
courts of the Lord"
Indirectly we give our goods to our
Lord Jesus Christ by using them for
the welfare of our fellow men. May
the love OF Jesus Christ enlighten our
| minds and infiame our hearts so that
we Joyfully may make financial sac
rifices for the bodily and spiritual well
fare of our fellow men. Now, in new
diocese like ours. where there is so
much to be built up, you Catholics
should assist with the temporal means
given to you by Almighty God, and
