Able Joseph Correa de Sierra

(verbum nil amplius), is the only
monument which attests to the world
the glory of him who bore that name.
1t was the last effort of the poor sac
tristan to rescue that name from OBJ
liyion'
It has been claimed that Able Cor
rea was not in good standing as a
priest, but the records of Old st. Jo-
seph's Church, in Philadelphia, give
the following Baptismal : Register:
1920, Sept. %, "A Rev. D. Josepho
Correa de Sierra Legato extraordinario
ct plenipotentiario Regis fidelissimi,
etc., Maria Anna nata q Junii 1917,
in Camden, N. j. de Thoma Cooper ct
Eliz Cooper, L. G. Sponsor. Edw. Jos.
Cprrea.' This is evidence that the
Able was in good standing as a
priest.
It is said that he acted as
Kosciusko's chaplain in 1898 when the
Polish and American patriot came to
this country to seek compensation for
his Revolutionary services III is not
known if Correa acted as Chaplain
or not, but they both arrived in the
same vessel, the Adriana.

Mormons and the Bible
CARE SHOULD BE EXERCISED IN
USE OF THE SCRIPTURES
sEcTs PERVERT TEXT TO SUIT
OWN FANcIES.

In Billy Sundays Tabernacle in
New York some auditor one day left
a copy of the Bible. So at least the
story goes, and thereby hangs a tale.
Ordinarily, a Bible found after a
revival meeting would be rather
commonplace incident. But this par
ticular Bible, although it was, as the
title page showed, copy of the good
old Authorized (Protestant) Version,
with the Oxford Press imprint, had
one popularity which when discovered
raised a storm of discussion, observes
the Christian protestant Herald 1t
contained an interpolated Mormon
section, the title-page of which
set forth that it was copyright
ed by Joseph F. Smith, trustee
for the Church of Jesus Christ
of Latterday Saints and designed
for the use. of missionaries and other
students Of the Scriptures AS ex-
planned by the Deseret Evening News,
an official organ Of the Mormon
Church, this interpolated portion con-

THE RUSSIAN CHURCH
She is FREE FROM POLITICS.
MAY RETURN TO CATH.
OLICISM.

Under Tsardom the Russian Ortho-
doX Church was in q state of slavery
towards the civil power. In the
hands of the corrupt bureaucracy she
was tool, and department of the
Russian police. Such at least is the
view of many writer's on Russia, OBJ
serves the London Catholic Times.
To her the revolution has brought
freedom. The Russian Church has
lost her hold on both high and low
classes of society. What will the
new conditions do for her? Will the
revolution begin an era of dechristian-
lzation of the Russian people? We
trust not. To regain her hold upon
the Russian people the Russian Church
must go back to the true conception
OF the Church. She must refuse to
be made the tool of political factions
or the civil power. Keeping the great
er part of the Divine Revelation and
of the ecclesiastical traditions, her
emancipation should mean coming
back to true Catholic principles.
Should she meet with success then
there must follow a return to Cath
olicism.

A UNIQUE SHRINE
1T is IN THE HEART OF THE
JUNGLE-THE CENTER OF
.PlLGRlMAGEs.

In the heart of the thickest jungle
of the Island of Ceylon is one of the
most unique shrines of the Blessed
Virgin. A simple statue of the
Mother of God standing on the
gnarled trunk of tree covered over
with a pretence of a shed attracts
thousands throughout the island. The
feast of the Visitation is the day
chosen for pilgrimage, and during the
eight days of the festival it is esti-
mated that $4,000 persons surround
the most inaccessible holy place.
The reason for the devotion of the
people is the earth which is blessed
at this time. The earth mixed with
water has miraculous power, and
those afflicted with snake bites use
1t plentifully. 1t is estimated that
10000 people a year die from poison
Gus snake bites, hence the devotion of
the people to the Blessed Virgin,
whom they believe protects them. A
curious tradition obtains today. No
Catholic priest has ever been known
to die of snake bite. St. Francis
Xavier guards the missionaries, it is
said. When he was laboring in India
and Japan he promised that no mis-
sionary would ever die of the bite of
serpent, The missionaries Of the
island attest that there is no record

Mathew Carey wrote of Correa:
"The Able Correa, Portuguese Min
lister in this country, had high repu-
tation for wit, humor, pointed sayings,
and profound remarks. But | have
doubts whether he was not man of
great preparation and study, and that
many of his choice sayings, which
not prepared for the purpose, ready
to be fired when occasion offered
which occasion he had the address
frequently to produce, without danger
of detection. 1t is well known that
when mans reputation for wit or
knows how to give weight to what
he says by sagacious nod of the
head, a meaning shrug, or wink,
he can pass off his copper coins for
silver. All this, so far as the Able
is concerned, is delivered with some
hesitation. Let it pass for what it is
worth. | believed and still believe,
that nice tact, great address, skill
full management and commanding
tone, had accomplished for him what
they have effected for thousands be-
fore him, that is to say, operated with
the effect of microscope on the en-
dowments bestowed on him by ma
ture."
In the National Gazette, January
Fl, 1924, Robert Walsh said of Cor
rea: ''Died at Lisbon, in September
last, aged IA, Able joe Correa de
Sierra, Counsellor of Finance. knight
of several orders, member of several
learned societies, formerly Minister
from Portugal to the
United States, and well known in
Europe and America as distinguish
cd botanist, and as a gentleman pos
sessed of an uncommon share OF
literary knowledge. In all the differ
ent countries in which he resided dur
ing a long and active life, a just
tribute of respect was paid to his
talents and genius, which, together
with the kindness of his disposition
and the brilliancy of his wit, insured
him everywhere the most friendly re-
ception. His public services justified
the high confidence of his govern
ment; his literary merits have been
acknowledged by several learned in
situations in Europe and America, and
by them as we'll as by a large circle
of his friends his loss will be deeply
regretted

Copies of this Aforementioned

The Oxford Press, on receiving the

FOR NATIONAL DEFENCE
MINNESOTA DIVISION OF NATION
AL DEFENCE COUNCIL is DOING
ACTIVE WORK-THREE CATHO-
Lie WOMEN ON STATE CON-
MlTTEE.

The Minnesota Division of the
Women's Committee of the National
Council of Defence opened a booth
at the Fair last week for the distribu-
ton of war literature and to answer
any questions pertaining to the
women's work for the war; The
literature was supplied by the Mime
sofa Commission of Public Safety and
from the Council at Washington.
During the week bags of literature
came directly from Washington to the
booth.
There were many thousand copies
taken by the visitors at the Fair.
What particularly interested the
women were the Hoover pamphlets
on conservation of food; lessons in
drying and canning fruits and vege-
tables and in making war breads.
AS many men as women called at
the booth to get copies of the differ
ent pieces printed showing the de-
sire throughout the state, to get relia-
BILE literature.
The booth was in direct charge of
Mrs. T. G. Winter, Chairman of the
Minnesota Division, Mrs. Della Arm
strong, Mrs. Daniel Coonan and Mrs.
G. T. Fisk, Each day a group of
young ladies, in tableau, represented
Columbia and the Allies in costume
there was a programme each day
by the leading artists. Flags, striking
posters, together with the tableau
made an impressive picture and Gre
ated a great deal of enthusiasm in
patriotism. The chairman of nearly
every county in the state called dur
ing the week.
There are three of our Catholic
women on the Women's State Com
mittee of National Defence. Mrs.
Daniel Coonan represented the Catho-
lie women of the State. Mrs. John
Donohue of st. Paul represented the
intercollegiate Federation of Catholic
Alumnae, and Miss Agnes Dougherty
the High Schools of the State.
This organization is the official
organ of both State and National
Governments to try to correlate and
unity the war-service of the women of
the state. It's purpose is to include
all existing organizations of women,
to get them to correlate their work,
that overlapping and duplication may
be prevented and all work in harmony
to common ends, and that these ends
shall be the war service that the State
and National Governments shall con-
slider most important.

HIS SEE EXTENDS OVER NORTH
POLE AND INCLUDES INDIAN
cAMPS-MlNlSTERS TO CATHO-
Lies THROUGHOUT FRozEN
NORTH.

When Good Bishop Charlebois,
Oblate of Mary Immaculate, was
slowly recovering from his illness, in
which delicate operation was per-
formed, he counted the days when he
could return to his hard work
amongst his dear Indians in the mis-
sions of the far North. His see ex-
tends over vast territory as he is
the Bishop of the North Pole. The
various Indian camps are scattered
hundreds of miles apart and he has
a perilous task in trying to reach
them.
After a long trip, he has reached
his humble little home at LIE Pas,
Manitoba. Bishop Charlebois was so
pleased when he saw on his table
some letters from friends. 1t de-
lighted him to see that he was re-
membered while he was away and
could neither write nor hear from
anyone. The little offering in a let
ter made him feel that he belonged
to civilized world; it also put some
duAlOuS CuOuSlItS luIO Cilo pOOI I0io1l-
ops mind, for he knows only too well,
the sad need of money in his heroic
work. Many an anxiety he has when
he goes among his people and sees
their poverty and their want of even
a little log hut for a chapel.
With his customary promptness,
he replied to his friend; here is what
he wrote:
you must be wondering if | am
still alive, because l could not write
