When Catholic soldiers went into
camp early last summer, the priests
in the parishes near the camps began
to find out some things they did not
know before. One was that prayer
book of handy size, suitable to be
carried without inconvenience by a
man in uniform, was very hard to
get. Another was that the Bible was
not to be had at all. So the good
priests wrote letters, and from the
reading of a few of them came the
inspiration of the Chaplains' Aid AS
ISOLATION. A prayer book, after all,
| was an affair of few pages, there
were plenty of models, and it was a
simple matter to compile one and have
it printed and bound OF course an
edition beginning with hundred
thousand copies involved consider
able financial problem, but that was
soon solved, and boxes of khaki-cov-
cred vest pocket soldiers and sailors
prayer books were soon on their way
to where they were needed by soldiers
and sailors.
But when it came to meeting the
demand from the same source for
copies Of the Bible a new discovery
was made. Ordinarily there is fairly
large stock of Old and New Tesla.
ments in the country, but when the
demand came for a thin vest pocket
edition it was found that no such edi-
ton existed. The plates were in for
eign lands. America in the printing
of Bibles as in other matters had al
lowed herself to be dependent. In
Belgium and elsewhere in Europe
there is normally a large production
of Bibles and other books associated
with religion, but the war had put a
stop to all this production, certainly
to importation.
There was but one thing to do.
The New Testament must be printed,
and it must be printed in vest pocket
size. The Chaplains' Aid Association
arranged with the Paulist Fathers
Press, New York, to have this done,
and in the last weeks of the old year
the first of the little volumes ap-
peared The five hundred and fifty
odd pages are brought into a book
three-eighths of an inch in thickness,
and which looks small alongside even
a small prayer book The paper is
of the finest real India paper stock.
About ten thousand have found their
way to men in the camps and men at
sea and men at the front, and thou
sands more will be sent if the Chap
lains Aid Association can secure the
funds to print and distribute free
copies to all the Catholics of the army
and navy.

CAPITAL CHURCHES
ORDERED CLOSED

Washington, D. c., Jan. Is, 1917.
Commencing last Sunday, by order
of District Fuel Administrator John
L. Weaver, two-thirds of the churches
of Washington are closed for period
of three weeks. Practically all of the
clergymen in the city have protested
vigorously against what they claim is
grim determination against the
churches, when theaters and all other
places of amusement are allowed to
open six days of the week.
1t was pointed out that the order
will have disastrous effect on Sun
day schools, keeping thousands of
young children away from the classes,
which they only attend one day each
week, while they can go to the moving
picture shows all afternoons and
nights, including Sunday.

Catholic Chronicles

Matthew Carroll. He was five years
pastor of st. Josephs Church, North
Oakland, Butler county. He was pas
tor for many years of st. Peters
church, Brownsville, Pa.
When Father Glynn left Brownsville
to retire a few years ago OH account
of his health the parish church had
become the Mother church of sixteen
new parishes, all in flourishing con-
dition.
Whilst in the Brownsville district
he paid the debt on the new parochial
residence at Coal Center and built a
handsome church at Lucyville.
Among his inventions are "The Sig
nal Air Brake Automatic Train Stop"
"The Flying Fish Torpedo" for de-
stroying U-Boats, "The Glass Bottom
Patrol Boat" "The Buoyant Gravity,
Natural Energy Beam Engine" and a
process for smelling ore in blast fur
naces by using slack coal instead of
coke. These inventions have met the
requirements of the Naval Consulting
Board and the Interstate Commerce
Commission.
AS Father Glynn has sufficient in
come from his investments to support
him in the quiet life he prefers to live,
he therefore gives his services graf
uitously to the hospital and the good
Sisters for favors received.
His Silver Jubilee is dated April Is,
1918.

PRAIsEwoRTHY ACTION.
Salvation Army Officer Turns over
Christmas Collection to Catholic
Church.

Jersey City, N. IA very generous
action was that of Major Winchell, of
the Salvation Army, on Christmas
morning. At the services at the Army
Industrial Home collection of nearly
$40 was taken up and Major Winchell
said: Folks, have you any objection
if hand over this money to st. Lucy's
church, as our contribution to the
Christian collection?" The assemblage
chorused "Hand it over, Major" and
in a minute the money was on it's way
to Father McLaughlin's church. The
donation coming from SO unusual a
source, touched Father Mclaughlin,
the pastor of st. Lucy, and he uttered
a fervent blessing on the major and
those who contributed to the donation.

ENGLAND HoNoRs TWO cATHo-
LIC LAYMEN.

London, Jan. 3, 1918.-Catholics
were the first to greet New Year, on
this occasion, for none of the Prot
estant churches ventured on the
watch night" services they usually
indulge in at these times, and there
was no Scottish ceremony III the mar
row streets round st. Pauls, partly
on account of the weather, partly be-
cause of the menace from the air, and
partly because no one feels very ami
able towards the little 1918. So the
early Masses on New Years day were
the first ceremonies of the new dawn.
The New Years honors list appeared
as usual, and while there is more
than one Catholic in the long list of
minor distinctions which are all our
fighting men of the two services
achieve, while peerages are reserved
for the commoner who stays at nome,
two at least also figure among the
principal ones. Lord Edmund Talbot,
the only brother of the late duke Of
Norfolk, and heir to the dukedom once
more, is made privy councillor to the
king. Lord Edmund is we'll known in
political circles and has acted as
whip for his party. The other hon
or goes to an Irishman, John Lavery,
R. A., the well-known Dublin portrait
painter, has received a baronetcy. His
progress has been remarkable and he
is generally acknowledged to hold a
place not less than that of sergeant
in the artistic and social world. His
wife, Mrs John Lavery, is great So
cial success, and is at present en-
gagged in organizing big matinee, Of
which the duchess of Norfolk is pa
troness, in aid of the Sisters of Mercy.

NAMING THE NEW BABY.

The compilers of the new code of
canon law have deemed it necessary
to emphasize anew the mind of the
church regarding the name which is
given in baptism. Pastors will gen.
orally agree that the reminder is not
unnecessary. The name to be given,
emphasizes the new code, must be
the name of saint, and wherever the
parents refuse to comply with this
"law," the minister of the sacrament
must add saints name. The church
is anxious that every child welcomed
to her fold shall be given the protec-
tfon of a member of Christ's heavenly
court, however determined it's parents
appear to be, to deprive it of that
boon. Sufficiently large, even for the
most critical of tastes, is the list of
those whose patronage may be in
voked at the solemn moment of chris.
tening. Names that seem to have been
culled from botanical catalog, or that
would sound we'll in a list of Pullman
coaches, are by no means appropriate
for Catholic infants. The pity of it
is that the one most concerned, the
helpless child itself, is the one whose
interests are least consulted. The
safest way for parents is to follow in
this, as in all other matters in which
she is interested, the wise direction of
the Catholic church. Her views are
based, not on the within of any pass
Ing fancy, nor on the mere utility of
earthly life; she looks at such mat
tiers through the rays of the search
light of eternity.-Catholic Transcript.
