Soldiers Make Pilgrimages
IMPRESSIVE SCENES WITNESSED
IN JERUSALEM ON THE FEAST
OF THE. ASSUMPTION.

One of the most remarkable fea-
lures of the British occupation of
Palestine is the extreme religious
fervor of the soldiers in the armies.
There are numbers of Catholic SOL
diers serving in the Holy Land, both
in the English and Irish regiments.
On the feast of the Assumption some
dred men took part in the celebration
of the festival in Jerusalem. Early
Masses were said in the military
camps and at different churches in
the city. Later in the morning the
officers and men assembled at the
Jaffa Gate. and went in procession to
the Holy Sepulchre, from which they
proceeded to the Tomb of Our Lady.
They were prevented getting into the
church by the Greeks, who locked the
door. The Greeks, by the way, have
a feud of their own against the Fran,
ciscans, against whom their action
seems to have been directed more
than against the British Catholic sol
diers.
The procession then took its way
from the Tomb of Our Lady to the
Church of ST. Anne, where the Vicar
General said Mass, and a sermon was
preached by Dom Bede Camm, o. S.
b., the we'll known historian of the
English Martyrs and at present mill
tar chaplain with the forces in Pales

LETTER OF BISHOP WEHRLE

proach either in person or through
proxy non Catholic minister as such,
to give or renew the consent in the
Protestant rite.
Y q If the pastor knows that the par
ties will certainly violate or have al
ready violated this law, he shall not
assist at their marriage, except for
very serious reasons, and only, after
scandal has been removed, and the Or
dinary has been consulted.
Canon 1064-Bishops and other pas
tors of souls shall:
1. Deter the faithful as much as
they can from mixed marriages.
2. If they cannot prevent them al
together they should by all means see
to it that they are not contracted
against the laws of God and of the
Church.
8. Watch that those who contracted
mixed marriage in their own place
or come from other places, live up to
their promises.
4. When assisting at mixed mar
riage, no sacred ceremony shall be
made use of in witnessing the mar
riage contract.
Canon 1065-The faithful should
likewise be discouraged from con-
tracing marriage with those who have
publicly given up the Catholic faiths
though they have not joined non
Catholic church, and with those who
belong to societies condemned by the
Church.
Canon 1070-The marriage between
a person baptized in the Catholic
Church, or received into the Church
from heresy or schism, and non
baptized individualeis is null and void.
Canon 1071-The rules prescribed
in canons 1060-1064 for mixed mar
riages where there is an impediment
of disparity of cult.
Up to Pentecost, 1918, the Bishops
in the United States could, by special
delegation of the Holy See, grant dis
pensation from the usual impediments
which by Canon Law are reserved to
the Apostolic See. This has been
changed by decree of the Holy Con-
sistorial Congregation, dated April %,
1918.
From now on, whenever a Catholic

DANGERS OF MIXED MARRIAGES
THE NEW CODE OF CANON LAW
ON THIS SUBJECT.

Vincent Wehrle, o. S. B., by the grace
of God and favor of the Apostolic
See Bishop of Bismarck, to the
priests and the faithful of the dio-
cese, health and benediction in the
Lord. e
Ever since the Apostolic See has
made us Chief Pastor of the Diocese
of Bismarck, one of our greatest an
xieties has been the large number of
mixed marriages, and we have more
and more come to the conviction, that
quite a. number of the priests and a
very large number of the Catholic lay
people do not fully realize the serious
ness of this vital question and do not
sufficiently fulfill their duties in this
regard.
The Apostolic See has lately taken
some steps which in very forcible
way put the Importance of this ques-
tion before the Bishops and priests
and which make it more difficult to
obtain dispensation for mixed mar.
riages. I hope the Catholic lay people
will also better realize the case when
I put the laws and regulations before
them.
The new Canon Law, published last
Pentecost Sunday, prescrihes:
Canon 1060--The Church forbids
most severely and in all countries
marriage between Catholic and an
hereto or schismatic. 4 IL there is dan
ger of perversion of the Catholic party
and the offspring, such marriage is
also forbidden by the Divine Law.
Canon 1O61-The Church does moi
dispense from the impediment of mix
ed religion unless:
/. There are good and serious rea
sons.
2. The non-Catholfc party promise;

FIDELITY OF IRISH
LOYALTY TO CHURCH DEEPLY
WOVEN INTO TEXTURE OF
THEIR BEING.

The latest testimony to the fidel-
ity of the Irish people comes from
the English Jesuit, Father Ns.agIan
He recently was asked the pointed
question:: do you think that the
Irish people are as religious as they
were?" Without hesitation the emf.
nent Jesuit answered:
IF you were to Judge of the re-
ligion of people by the absence of
crime, by the purity of their women
and the innocence of their children,
Ireland does not seem to be falling
away from her grand ideals. In Eng
land we are fond of taking a census
of churchgoing folk. 1t would be
easier in Ireland to take a census of
those who do not go. Take Gardiner
Street, where l have been spending
the season. It is never empty and
nearly always full. During the year
more than 100000 people go to Holy
Communion in this one church, and on
the first Friday of the month I have
seen between 5000 and 5000 souls at
Holy Communion on one morning.

CATHOLIC RED CROSS
RED CROSS WORK IN cARLiNG'S
FORMER BUILDING CLOSES AS
RESULT OF WARS END.

The last bundle of surgical dress
ings, the last piece of equipment and
the last pair of knitting needles left
the Catholic branch workshop at Fifth
and st. Peter Streets last Sunday and
the doors were locked permanently.
Following the cessation of surgical
dressings making, the officers of the
branch last week decided to disband
and close the workshop, which has
been one of the most expensive in
the city to maintain and which was
supported by its chairman, Mrs. Geo.
T. Slade.
The workers have voiced their will
ingness to continue Red Cross work
wherever the chapter needs them.
They will assist at headquarters and
will join the forces at other work.

VATICAN AND ENEMIES
POPE BENEDICT EXPOSES MEN.
:, DAClTY OF ANTt-PAPAL Z
PROPAGANDA. "

The Osservatore Romano of Rome,
the official Vatican organ, recently
printed letter from Pope Benedict to
Cardinal Gasparri, the Papal Secre-
tary of State, in which the Pontiff says
that, after the recent happy success
of the Italian armies, efforts were
made to excite in the Italian public
mind the belief that the Pope had ex-
perienced some regrets over the vic.
tory.
The letter points out that in a Papal
letter on August 1, 1917, and on other
occasions, eve have expressed re.
peated wishes that the territorial ques-
tions between Austria and Italy re-
ceiye solution conformable to the
just aspirations of the people, and re-
Gently we have given instructions to
the Nuncio at Vienna to establish
friendly relations with the different
nationalities of the Austro-Hungarian
Empire, which are now constituted
independent states
The letter says the Church's mis-
sion of sanctification adapts itself to
the. different forms of government, and
accepts without difficulty the legiti
mate territorial and political yaria
Etions of the people.
I'VE believe the letter continues
"that our ideas and appropriations
being more generally known. no wise
person would attribute to us regrets
which have no foundations"
The letter closes with an expression
of hope that the war will be succeeded
by universal concord, which will bine
the nations in a league fruitful of wei
being.

THANKSGIVING.
PSALM 1875.
Written. for The Catholic Bulletin by
Helen Hughes Hielscher.)

When Thou didst break the yoke,
Lord,
And set the captives free,
Our mouths were filled with gladness,
In joy we sang to Thee.
We said, Among the Gentiles
Great things the Lord had wrought. f"
Our lives were filled with gladness,
Our days with JOY were fraught.
But let the foe rush on, Lord,
Strong as the rivers flow,
For we shall reap in joy, Lord,
What we in tears did SOW.
Behold, we went out weeping,
The seed in tears we cast :.
The coming in was joyful
With golden sheaves, we passed.

EFFORTS BEING MADE TO RE.
STORE DAMAGED TREASURES
HOLY FATHER PROMISES HELP
AND ENCOURAGES THE WORK
OF REBUILDING.

The recent assembly at LIE Hayre
for the purpose of constituting COM
mittee for the restoration of the Uni
versity and Library of Louvain,
destroyed by fire four years ago, was
striking testimony of the interest
taken by the world in Belgium's Uni
versity, says the Irish Catholic. Lou
vain was a. bright center of Christian
learning, whose destruction could well
be regarded as a calamity for civiliza-
tion. 1t contained valuable library,
filled with hundreds of the first
products of the printing press, and
large collection of manuscripts, as
well as ancient and modern works
dealing with all branches of knowl-
edge. But more than a library was
lost when the University of Louvain
was burned down. A home of the
highest Christian culture perished,
too, and the labors of long years spent
in making the University model in
stitution for the promotion and diffu-
sion of knowledge were in short time
brought to nought.
Considering the greatness of the
loss, it is not surprising that some
persons soon conceived the idea of
restoring it. Already towards the end
of 1914 proposals to that effect were
made to the Belgian Government, and
in the following year a project of
professor in the College of France was
approved by the Belgian Prime Min
ister Soon committee was formed
of distinguished French personages,
members of the Institute of France,
professors, members of scientific So
cieties, etc. All shades of opinion
were represented in the committee,
but all worked sincerely and earnest
ly, and their efforts met with consid-
cradle favor-especially in America,
where a substantial sum of money
was collected by the well-known
French philosopher, Bergson. The
Holy See declared itself pleased with
the movement, and did not fail, when
asked, to promise effective assistance.
Two Ministers of State, both mem
bers of the General Council of the
University of Louvain, asked the Pope
to help the work. -

The fact that the Allies have won
the war will be of untold advantage
to the Catholic Church. This state
ment is not merely the expression oi
our patriotic pride, but an induction
from complete examination of the
facts, writes> Rev. Dr.. J. O'Gorman
The progress of the Catholic Church
in any country in any time, is in a
large measure conditioned by the
amount of liberty she enjoys. The
one gift the Catholic Church asks from
the world is freedom of action-a free
opportunity TO bring her divine doc
trine and her divine means of sane
tl1cation to men of good will. Be-
cause the allied victory will increase
this freedom of action by removing
many obstacles, national, political, and
moral, it will favor the progress of
the Church. Now, the gains of the
Catholic Church may be summarized
under ten headings:
Gain No. 1.-The establishment of
at least fair measure of internation-
al justice, with reduction of arma-
ments and destruction of militarism,
satisfies all the essential aims of the
Papal Peace Note of 1917, and removes
many obstacles, which have impeded
the progress of the one international
religion-the Catholic Church.
Gain No. 2-One of the most far
reaching consequences of our victory
is that the freedom, integrity, and
prosperity of the British Empire and
of the United States of America are
secured for the rest CT the twentieth
century. This is of incalculable ben
eft to the Church, for, during the last
epoch OF the worlds history (that is,
since 1870, in no portion of the world
has the Catholic Church enjoyed such
liberty and made such progress, as in
the British Empire and the American
Republic,
Gain No. 3-The defeat of Prussia
has saved the Catholics of Germany
from an almost inevitable persecu-
tion, and has weakened beyond meas
ure the strong anti-Catholic, neo-
pagan German Kultur party.
Gain No. 4-The greatest change on
the map of Europe will be the indie
pendent Polish State, with access to
the sea. This will mean the reap.
pearance of Catholic European
power of at least twenty million Cath
olics.
Gain No. 5-Instead of Czaristic
Russia, the chief and most violent
enemy of the Church in the nineteenth
century, there will exist democratic
Russia, guaranteeing freedom of re-
ligion. Hence the Catholic Church of
the Ukraine will once more be allowed
to live; and the Lithuanians and Let's,
whether independent or merely auton-
omouS, will enjoy religious liberty.
Gain No. Belgium, Catholic ma
tion, with Catholic Government, in
stead of becoming a Vassal of Prussia,
will have its freedom restored and
secured, The University Of Louvain,
the leading Catholic University of the
world, will, in a free Belgium, be able
to resume it's intellectual leadership.
Gain No. THE Slavs of the Aus
trian Empire, who are in majority
Catholic, will enjoy national liberty,
which will afford greater opportunity
for religious activity. 1t is a common
error, not shared by the Vatican nor
by their own bishops, to suppose that
CATHOLIC interests of these SlaYs are
