A Memorial Minute to Judge James
R. BrashearS, Offered by the Bar OF
Carroll County, Md.

In the death of Judge James r.
Brashears the Bench and Bar OF
Maryland have lost a Judge of the
highest sense of honor; a man and
Judge of an equable temperament;
and one controlled in all the eX-
igencies of his office, by an unswerv-
ing regard for right and justice. His
moral attributes were conspicuously
exemplified in his daily mien and
bearing; and nowhere illustrated
more strongly or more constantly,
than in the performance Of his off1c-
ial actions. Any one could safely
trust him at sight. He was learned,
safe and trustworthy judge. His
sudden death came as shock to this
Bar and to the whole community,
awakening in everyone, a sense OF a
deep and permanent loss. The Com
mittee and Bar request that this
minute may be formally entered upon
the proceedings of this Court as
constant reminder of the public es-
innate of his worth and of our own
sense of loss, and that copy OF this
minute be sent to his family.

THE OLDEST UNIVERSITY
CATHOLIC INSTITUTION HOLDS
RECORD ON THIS CONTINENT.

Harvard University has with most
persons who have not troubled them
selves to investigated, the credit of
age and the honor of seniority. But
Parkman, in his work, ''The Jesuits
of North America says, "a year
before the building of Harvard College
the Jesuits began wooden structure
in the rear of the fort (Quebec), and
there within one enclosure was the
Huron Seminary and the College for
French Boys" Bancroft (Vol. IT'D
says: Its Laval College's] foun-
dalton was laid, under happy aus
pieces, in 1886, just before Champlain
passed from among the living, two
years before the emigration of John
Harvard, and one year before the Gen
eral Court of Massachusetts, had made
provision for a college,"
But the genuinely oldest college in
America was founded in Mexico, two
generations before Harvard, -1531--
the College Of st. Ildefonso, in the
City of Mexico.

affecting the present day Catholic
youths. Members consist of young
persons of both sexes from 16 to 35
years of age. The Knights of Lithu-
ania are stanch supporters of the
Church, and in nearly every city
where they are established they main
tain choir of high standard which
serves in the local church. In the
present war days, the Knights have
shown themselves especially patriotic
and charitable, contributing generous
ly to the relief of sufferers in their
own fatherland as well as of other war
victims. 1t might be mentioned that
the membership is made up of Lithu-
anian born folks and a large number
of American youth of Lithuanian pa
rentage.
During the convention there will be
an art exhibit of the work of the
knight members, which will be held
at the Convention hall, North Fifth
and Havemeyer streets, each day of
the convention.

THE ART OF PLEASING.

In spite Of the essential likeness
existing among men as regards the
soul, free will and individual intel
lect give a slightly different tinge
to the ideas Of each person. No
two persons can be found to look
upon one and the same subject
from an entirely identical point
Of view. The reason thereof is to
be found in the many factors of
training, education, experience,
personal tendencies, self-interest
and environment. Hence it is
that a vast variety Of opinions
will ever be found, even among
intelligent persons, about one and
thea same subject. Thus, the
average man frequently finds him
self at variance with even his best
friends on subjects that may acct
dentally, or even vitality, concern
them both. In this case the art
of pleasing becomes most diff
cult one of attainment.
The rule laid down by old writ
ers, and following st. Augustine,
is that in essentials there should
be unity Of ideas, and a certain
latitude in other matters. The
Christian ideal is touched, how
ever, by the rule that in all things
charity should reign, The art Of

MONsIGNOR SLEvIN.

1t is with no ordinary degree of
pleasure that The Catholic Bulle-
tin gives space in this issue to an
account of the ceremonies attend
ing the elevation of Mgr. Slevin Of
Faribault, to the rank Of prelate
of the Church, and offers him sin
cerest congratulations on the we'll
merited zeal of ecclesiastical APP
prevail placed upon his sacerdotal
career of thirty-nine years of ardu-
Gus and fruitful labor in the sac
red ministry.
Ever since The Catholic Bulletin
was founded it has had reason to
count Mgr. Slevin among its most
devoted friends, for he has always
taken a great personal interest in
it's welfare. Knowing the value of
a Catholic newspaper in the home,
he took steps to introduce The
Catholic Bulletin into every family
in his parish. At the beginning of
each year he sends to this Office a
check covering subscription for
every family under his spiritual
care. Each year the head Of the
family to whom the paper is sent
pays the subscription price, as he
does the pew rent or any other
parochial assessment. Would that
there were others like Mgr. Slevin
among the clergy everywhere! II
would. help to strew roses more
thickly along the thorny pathway
of the diocesan paper.

VOCATION TO THE PRIEST
HOOD.

At this. season of the year
thoughtful parents are seriously
considering the future of their
boys. Time was when the aver
age young man looked forward to
taking up some trade. A few, in
spired with ambition and pos
sessed of a sufficient amount of
this worlds goods, looked forward
to a professional career. Today,
however, educational facilities are
many, and advantages for prepa-
ration for the various professions
are offered to ALL Any young man
who has ability and sufficient am
bition can easily obtain the requi-
site knowledge which will enable
him to enter any profession he
may choose. Parents rightfully
expect and desire to see their chill
dren successfully placed in the
great game of life.
In looking over the various
fields of endeavor, how many Of
our Catholic parents fix their gaze
upon the holy priesthood. Faith
and reason teach them that this
state is the hottest that can be Of
fered to man. 1t is not simply on
a par with the so-called learned
professions: it towers above them
as the mountain peak o'ertops the
pleasant valley below. The priest
is a man of education. He is a
man of specialized training of the
very highest order. His studies
take in the learning Of the world
and the knowledge which BELTS
one who must stand before his fell
lows as the representative Of AL
mighty God. Becomingly to fill
this position the priest is obliged
to undertake a long and arduous
course of study and instruction.
On the day on which he is conse-
Grated to God he stands before
men as a member of the highest
and noblest profession it is given
to man to follow. For the Catho-
lie parent surely there can be no
higher ambition than to see that
child Of his love and affection
standing as intermediary between
God and man; reaching out, so to
say, with both hands, one to grasp
the protecting hand Of the Most
High, the other, to raise his fellow
men up to the very face Of God.
May the grace be given to many of
our Catholic parents to appreci-
ate the nobility Of the priesthood
and may they do all in their pow
er to direct the gaze and to turn
the steps of their boys towards the
grand, solemn and sublime dignity
Of the sanctuary.
The Catholic bulletin. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1911-1995, 1917-07-14

salvation, and indeed, by means of
devotion and of service in the
Church which He has established.
1t therefore becomes every Catho-
lie to be, in a sense, his brother s
keeper. All men have been born
alike: all alike will die. A brief
period of time has been given to
each man in which to prepare him
self for an eternity Of happiness.
Just as in the present war we
Americans are actuated by a de-
sire to see all peoples share in the
blessings Of liberty which we en-
joy: SO should we, as Catholics, be
inspired by strong desire to be-
hold all men allied under the ban
ner Of the Cross. Practically
speaking, it behooves every Cath,
Ollie to do all in his power to aid in
spreading the kingdom of Christ
In this sense every Catholic may
be considered his brothers. keep
err. Every Catholic should strive
to remove prejudice in others, to
strengthen his own faith, to
smooth the way for the conversion
Of those outside the fold, and to
realize that he is in this sense, di-
rectly speaking, his brother s
keeper.

The National Geographic Society
publishes in the National Geographic
Magazine series of charts which,
based on official figures supplied by
the United States Census Eureau,
show where the millions of Europeans
and Canadians have settled in the
United States.
Thirty-three million persons have
made the long voyage from alien
shores to our own since it was pro-
claimed that all men are born free
and equal. 1t is as if all of the popl-
lation of all the states of the United
States west of the Mississippi, plus
that of Alabama, should have come
bodily to America.
History records no similar move
ments of population which i'm rapidity
or volume can equal this. Of the 33,

100000 still live among us, and their
children and children's children are

are 100000 children both of whose
parents are foreign born, and $500 900
others one of whose parents was borr
under a foreign flag.
The 35,00O,OO0 American people who
are of foreign stock-that is, foreign

YOUR BROTHERS KEEPER.

One of the traits that seems to
characterize the average Catholic
is spirit Of exclusiveness, or per-
haps it should be called, aloofness,
with regard to his fellowmen. 1t
is a noticeable fact among men
that where many are drawn to-
gether in the same society, or
headed towards the same goal, a
spirit Of friendly he1pfulness is to
be found among them. Thus a man
living in a foreign land will usual
" exert himself to the utmost to
be of assistance to a compatrlot
whom he finds travelling in that
same foreign land. Men fighting
on the same side in war, or even III
athletics; men working for the
same firm those allied under the
banner of the same society, will al
ways and everywhere extend 9
helping hand, even at the cost OF
Inconvenience or sacrifice, in order
to assist fellow member.
In spiritual sense Catholics
have much to learn from this
spirit of kinship which exists in
every worldly sphere. The bless
ings of God have been showered
upon them in profuse abundance
IN the form of faith, sacraments,
and membership in the one true
Church: All men have been called
by God to work out their eternal
The Catholic bulletin. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1911-1995, 1917-07-14

pleasing may be cultivated as a
natural accomplishment or as a
Christian virtue. The man who
sets out with the fixed resolve to
please all persons is man fore
doomed to dismal failure, for it is
absolutely certain that many per-
sons are so opinionated, so ire
movably fixed in their own ideas,
so unalterably attached to their
own views, that they are proof
even against argument, and are tit
subjects only for charity. The
man who succeeds most frequently
in the art Of pleasing is the man
who knows best how to surrender
his own pet theories when these
clash with the general good. The
true Christian will frequently give
up his own opinions on accidental
matters, just as the true gentle
man will often forego his own
pleasure and convenience for the
sake of others. The true Christian
gentleman-not the miserable;
hypocritical imitation who makes
religion a mask for self-assertive-
ness-will easily adjust himself
and his actions to those Of his fel.
lows in all those things outside OF
the essentials. The art of pleasing
is distinctively a Christian art
and as such should be one of the
most ornate possessions of every
Catholic man and woman.
