In all the Catholic churches of the Hartford diocese Sunday the following letter from Bishop Milan was read:
 Episcopal Residence
 Hartford, Nov. 21, 1918.
 Dear Father:-The annual collection for the Catholic University of Arneri- ca Will be taken up Tn all the churches or this diocese the first Sunday of Ad- vent Dec. 1. The importance of the work done by the university in the ea- ucatienal and religious life of the country is evident to all who are in- formed of the achievements of this great institution. During tHe recent war it offered unusual facilities to tise government of the United States in training men for responsible positions in the army and navy. The part that il must play in the days of peace is TO less important. Now more than ever in the history of our country there is urgent need of safe and sane leadership in solving the great social and economic problems of the day. A happy solution can be found only in the recognition of correct principles governing the relations of men to each other and to the nation The aim of the Catholic University is to give the hroadest training to those who arc called to assume positions Of responsi- bility in the social. educational, econ onic and religious life of the country We look to the people of this diocese to manifest their interest in the work of the university by contributing gen | erously to the collection on the first l Sunday of Advent. Yours sincerely,
 JOHN J. MILAN. | Bishop of Hartford.

GOD WANTED RIGHTEOUSNESS
 TO WIN WORLD WAR

More things are wrought by prayer than the world dreams on quoted Rev. A. r. Purkiss on Sunday night in the course of his sermon at the Central Baptist church which had fer it's topic. What Did God Have to Do With the Victory?
 Did God win the war; He was in terested, certainly God was not neu tral He wanted the war to be won by the side Of righteousness. Does righteousness always win? Not the first time perhops, but you can bank on it to win in the long run, said the preacher, declaring that so loEg as a man prays for tde things for which Jesus Christ stands, he is offering a prayer which can be answered. The Germans prayed in the name of the kaiser, in the name of the kaiser and God. in the name of the greater. Ger many, in the name of the destruction of women and children, in the name of greed and gold. So far as we have any record, the kaiser never uttered the name of Jesus Christ. The name l of Jesus and the name of the kaiser do not go well together. Yet Ger many will win the substance of every 1 righteous prayer uttered in Germany and 1t will be only few years to the l time when they will be as thankful that they lost as we are thankful that we have won.
 Why didn't God Sin the war sooner; was another question tha tthe preach CT asked. Instancing several other reasons, Mr, PuriSiss said finally thai God was waiting for America Il would be the calamity of our histor' if we had not gone into the war - God had to wait for America. Oul country had been doing big things ] splendid things, it certainly freet Cuba, it had paid back to China tht | indemnity money. But still the work looked distrustfully upon us, sayin; that we were absorbed with mono getting, but now that we have gon into this and fought our hearts ou and done it for nothing, America i the friend of the world and can b the messenger of the gospel of Jesu Christ to the world
 What difference does prayer mak was the third question. MT. PprlSis mentioned the praying, fighting sol dIers of Cromwell and tho fact tha Iincoln's call on the nation for 9 da
 Of prayer in Civil war times was fol lowed by Gettysburg. President Will son, too, on May 30, called on the na
 ton for day oe prayer and on Jul
 IS began that wonderful record a
 Chauteau Thierry after which the Ger mans never won another battle.
 This is time for us to be thanllfr
 that we can work for the new worl
 that is coming in. and that the man
 things for whic hthe devil and hi
 minions stand and for which the kai
 ser stands will disappear foreve
 while the things for which Jesus Chris
 stands will be stamped upon a hearts.
