$4,000 LIBERTY BOND.
Is Jubilee Gift to Cardinal Gibbons bv
Clergy and Laity.

Baltimore, Sept. ia $4,000 Lib
erty Bond will be given by the Cath
olic clergy and laity Of the arch
diocese of Baltimore to Cardinal Glib
bons on the occasion of the celebra-
ton of his golden jubilee as a bishop.
The honor of celebrating a golden
jubilee as bishop is one that has come
rarely to Catholic prelate in any
country in the last few hundred years.
Cardinal Gibbons, when he was con-
secrated bishop of Adriamyttum on
Aug. 16, 1868, became the youngest
bishop in the Catholic church in this
country and one of the youngest men
raised to that dignity in the history
of the Catholic church.

MOTHER MARIANNE.
Nun Whom Robert Louis Stevenson
Praised for Work Among the
Molokai Lepers 10 Dead.

Mother Marianne is dead. The
kindly gentle lady" of whom Robert
Louis Stevenson spoke so tenderly in
his Letters just died at the leper
colony Of Molokai in the Hawaiian
Islands. where she had spent thirty
five years of her life in ministering
to the unfortunate victims of loath.
some disease. .....
She was born in Germany 81 years
ago-Barbara Kopp, the daughter of
Peter and Barbara Kopp. She came
to this country with her parents as
child and when she was 26 years old
she entered the Sisterhood of the
Third Order of St. Francis.
1t was in 1883 that Father Leonore.
follower and co-laborer Of Father Da.
mian. came to this country from the
Hawaiian Islands, asking for Sisters
to volunteer for service in the leper
colony at Molokai. Mother Marianne
gladly accepted the mission. She left
Syracuse in October, 1883, to sacrifice
the rest Of her life to the outcast
lepers.

THE BELFRY.

Since bells have been used to call
congregations to worship, tower or
bell-gable has formed an important
part in most churches Sometimes
this tower is quite separate from the
rest of the church. This is often so
In Italy, and also in some of the Eng
lish churches; those at Eversham and
Berkeley. for example. In billy coun-
tries the church was often placed in
a sheltered valley, and the belfry
perched on the tops of some height
near at hand. This was the case at
st. Feve, in Cornwall, and at some
places in Scotland. Instead of build.
ing a belfry, 1t was not unusual in
Scotland to hang the bell on some con.
venient tree. Two hundred years ago
this rude contrivance might often have
been seen there.

REMARKABLE WORDS.
Cardinal Vaughan Told of War For
Liberty Long Ago.

A correspondent writing to the Lon
don Tablet calls to mind some remark
able words uttered by the late Cardinal
Vaughan in 1899, when he was speak
ing at the annual meeting of the Cath
Ollie Union, which seem to have spe-
cial bearing on the present day. The
words are worthy of quotation and re-
membrance. The Cardinal said:
"The future of mankind seems to
point to the importance of a close
friendship between the peoples of the
United States and the British Empire.
The question is: What shall be, in the
future, the governing and formative
civil influence among those countries
and races that have not yet been
brought within the pale Of Christian
civilization? Shall it be the influence
Of the despotic or that of the liberty
loving Powers? This will be settled
during the course of the coming CEN
fury. Asia and the Far East, and even
the great Dark Continent look to the
principles of liberty as a basis for
their spiritual regeneration. The best
interests of true Christianity seek for
freedom of action. They dread the arbi-
trary State control which despotically
converts a national religion into an
engine of conquest and of national
ACKNOWLEDGMENT. America and the
British Empire represent the demo-
cratic progress of the world; their
flags guarantee freedom to all, and,
therefore, unfettered liberty to the
action of the Catholic Church. 1t
seems to me that, whether regarded
from Christian or from a civil and
humanitarian point of view, we must
desire to strengthen the influences
common to the English-speaking races,
so that in the end they may prevail
against the spread of despotic and
arbitrary powers.

ALE1IER FROM HOME.

A cheerful letter from home never
fails to gladden. the heart of per.
son, whose lot is cast among strang.
ers. If he happens to be in a foreign
land, the missive from his dear ones
is doubly delightful. 1t is token of
love; it is a testament of kindly re.
membrance by 1.-The folks" 1t is a
veritable tonic to the traveller. 1t
keeps away the blues; it gives him
courage to face the trials of life; land
it confirms absence with the Won
drous charm, which makes the heart
grow fonder.
All this under ordinary circum.
stances. In the case of the boys in
the camps and lover there" the bene.
ficient influence of the cheerful newsy
letter from home is enhanced a hun.
dred fold. Our soldier boys and sailor
lads-the vast majority of them away
from the old fireside for the first time
in their nves-are more than likely to
miss the tender ministrations they
have enjoyed from childhood; they are
apt to become lonely at times, and
homesick. The discipline of military
life is trying on occasions, and they
crave the sympathy of those near and
dear to them.
A letter from home? 1t is boon
a heavenly blessing to the young sol
der. He appreciates it more highly
than anything else you could send
him. Midst the manifold duties OF
military life he may not be able to
show the appreciation he feels, but
his heart is sincerely GRATEFUL and
we should accept his wish for the
deed. Therefore, even if he does not
make what, under other and more
favorable conditions, might be ex-
pected as due acknowledgement, let
him have the frequent enjoyment of
that favorite pleasure of the soldier,
cheerful and newsy letter from
home.

HOLY WATER.

Catholics use holy water because
they believe that the prayers Of the
Church, in blessing it are ef1icacious to
excite to we'll disposed acts of faith,
hope and charity toward Christ Jesus,
and to drive forth the evil one though
the eNorcisms of those vested with
divine Authority, says the Northwest
Review. st. Paul tells us: Every
creature of God is good, Ok for it
is sanctitied by the word Of God and
prayer"
If it were superstitious, how then
do you account for the miracles
wrought at the pool of Bethsaida? How
explain the use of holy water by God S
commandment in the Old Law-viz.
Aaron and his son shall wash their
hands and feet in it" Ga brazen laver)
when they are going into the taber-
nacle." And he shall take holy water
in an earthen vessel" Let them be
sprinkled with the water of puritica-
tion."
Moreover, we know that holy water
was used as early as the second GEN.
fury ard in the catacombs of Rome.
1t is symbolic of the purity of heart
with which Christians ought to appear
before the altar of Jesus Christ.

Are you goin' over to the Mass

Yes, of COURSE l answered.

the officer
Certainly, you'll be welcome if you
want to come l said.
Sunday morning we made our way
together over to the field Mass, and
going along the officer said to me:
May remain next to you at the
Mass?'
"'Surely,' l answered.
Just a moment before we reached
the enclosure the officer asked the
same question. l showed surprise, no
doubt, that he should be so anxious
about such a simple matter. l was
about to tell him so but he straight
way explained: We'll, my reason is
this: want to be next to you when
you come back from Communion, from

so close to God in YOU"

act of faith has or will soon win it's
reward in the precious gift of hap.

Lally proved to be bright in intellect
and so ready with his replies that the

ability to testify under oath and he

ence, but there are q number of i'm
portant District bills tied up by the
fact that Congress has stopped tor
some weeks to rest.

with it's many pay increases, and pro-
visions for the schools and other
matters of moment, cannot be dis
posed OF until after August "a, when
the Senate reconVenes for business.
Among the District bills. which
cannot be disposed Of until Congress
settles down again to work are: The
Crosser bin for a stricter system of
weights and measures: the Hollis bill
providing pensions for public school
teachers: the minimum wage bill; the
Overman bill for two additional jus
tices for the District Supreme Court;
the Chamberlain bill to reorganize the
