FLAGS in SANCTUARIEs
ECCLESIASTICAL REVIEW" BE-
! LIEVEs THAT CHURCH is NOT
oPPosEDiT o THE CUSTOM.

N. The war has induced great many
pastors to put both the national and
service flags intp their church sanctu-
aries A query in the American
Ecclesiastical Review as to the cor
rectness of this custom is answered to
the effect that in these extraordinary
times the mind of the Church would
have to be understood in favor of it..
The Review says mo harm can be
done by placing the flag. in the Sane
tuary; much harm may be done by re-
fusing to place it there. No sacrifice of
principle is involved; rather, it is con-
sonant with Catholic principle and
practice to combine. patriotism with
religion, SO long as nothing unseemly
is done" The doubt, was raised be-
cause the Holy Office had ordained in
october, 1887 that national flags
should not, as a rule, beaused in
church, although they II might follow
the coffin at funeral. Hence the
above, question is very timely and the
solution by the conservative Review
very sensible and patriotic, 49,,

Ostentation. Was Most Democratic
in His Relations to Others May all
follow the example of the meek and

One more proof of his democracy
was his love for the negro race. It
may be remembered by some that he
pronounced a most beautiful eulogy
few years ago over deceased ne

humble, hence John Ireland could not
be ostentatious. He left that to
smaller minds. May his beautiful

The work, THE Communion Of
Saints by Rev. DR.. McGinnis, has,

read the introduction, and the pur-
pose of this letter is to ask you to
publish 1.-THE introduction-in The

Set forth there it will speak
for itself-its timeliness, its fervor. its
beauty. Fairly familiar, for more
than fifty years with the words, spoken

better purpose an equal number of
words. And, too, let me insist that

are who will arise and call me near

Very sincerely yours.

A Tribute.
Archbishop Ireland is dead. Thus
again the mighty trumpet of the Angel
of Death has called and John ireland,
Metropolitan of st. Paul, Mimi, has
answered.
The death of Archbishop Ireland is
great loss, not only to the Catholic
Church but also to his country which
he loved SO well.
His mental equipment was so thor
ough and his judgment so ripened by
experience that his advice was often
sought by the highest authorities of
Church and country. His friends were
10 be found among all classes, creeds
and races. AS citizen he was the
exemplar Of the best type of American
manhood. AS priest he was beloved
for his religious zeal and for his gen
tie and loving personality
To one who has known the Arch
bishop for years, q great many years,
his death is a personal loss. On my
last@visit to st. Paul, we spent very
pleasant hour together, and on parting
he entrusted to me message to Arch
bishop tPrendergast. H
Few there are who can fill his place,
place he himself carved from from
tier town, out of which it can be
truthfully said, he created the city
Of st. Paul; for to the country at large,
Archbishop Ireland and st. Paul,
sMinn:, were one. I
Peace to the soul of Archbishop
Ireland we know it is with God-the
faithfully.

REVEREND M. MAHER
IRISH JESUIT PSYCHOLOGIST
DEAD.

Ireland and education at large have
sustained a great loss in the death at
the comparatively early age of fifty
eight of the Rev. M. Maher, S. J., the
noted psychologist and educator.
Father Maher made brilliant studies
and took his degrees of Master of
Arts and Doctor of Literature at Uni
versity College, London University,
etc. He finished his studies at Stoney-
hurst, England the great Jesuit college
Of the North, where he was profess
sor until ten years ago, when he went
to Edinburgh to take up missionary
work. He was devoted to the numer-
Gus Irish exiles there, and it was
largely through returning to work too
soon after an illness that he contract
ed the chill which cost him his life.
His numerous works on psychology
are standard in many of our Catholic
institutes.

Practically all the Bishops of the
country have forwarded to teadquar-
ters the names of the clerical and lay
directors of the campaign in their
dioceses; and communications are

ease The Rev. Thomas Egan, pas
tor of st. Mary,s Cathedral Fargo,

their destination until after Father
Tracys death. Father Cory is said
to he out of danger.
The remains of Father Tracy were
taken to Fargo where the funeral
services were held in st. Marys Ca

celebrated the Solemn Mass of Re-
QUEEN, assisted by Father Lynch,

tact, and his untimely death will be
mourned by a large circle of friends.

Cardinal Makes Appeal

Cardinal Gibbons has issued a pow
erful Liberty Loan appeal which he
concludes with the challenge: Only
one voice is lifted against the pur-
chase of these bonds, and that is the
voice of the enemy, of the oppressor
of people. He who harkens to the
voice Of the enemy and turns deaf
ear to the Cry of his country is not
worthy of the name of American, is
not a lover of liberty, or of his coun-
try.

TO help in bringing the heart of Amer
lea to our soldiers in the trenches of
France. The American soldier is but
the splendid reflection of the Amer,
lean people. His courage is reflec-
ton of your courage. His endurance
is a reflection of your strength and
willingness to bear, and to suffer is, in
last analysis, the will, which shall win
the war. This United War Work
Campaign is the practical expression
of the American Peoples will to win.
BY making it striking success, you
are strengthening the morale Of the

Bishop Wehrle of Bismarck, North

his very best to make this campaign
real success:
"The people must be instructed in
regard to the necessity of such drive.
Our soldier boys are making the su.
preme sacrifice in the interest of our
country; the least we can do for them,
is to provide for their bodily and men
tai welfare.L The work OF the knights
of Columbus in this line has found
the heartiest approval of ALL 1t is of
the greatest Importance that they be
substantially encouraged in this work. y
Bishop .AIerding.
Bishop Alerding of Fort Wayne, In
diana, sounds the same note"
The purpose in securing this
amount of money is to provide in vari-
Gus ways for the well-being Of our
soldiers in the things the Government
does not provide. The morals and
general well-being of our boys is of
paramount Importance. The object is
to see to it that our boys may remain
the good boys they were when they
left us, sound in body and soul The
victory which will be ours in due time,
may cost much money and many lives,
but must not be ours at the sacrifice
of moral and physical manhood. The
purpose of the coming drive appeals
to all l am confident we all will do
all we can to make it a success. -
Father Byrne.
Very Rev. James c. Byrne, admin
istrator of the diocese of st. Paul,
says: ~
At this time the primary work is
that of organization. Let no pastor
hold aloof or let the work go by de-
fault Outside the Twin Cities he
is invested with the right of appoint
ing a local member. This right he
should exercise with judgment and
exercise at once Let all pastors ex-
erywhere proceed to enroll as many
workers as are available In his Parish.
These workers will be under the direc-
tion of the local committee. There
is no Catholic drive as such Let him
furthermore exhort his people to con-
tribute, to. the general fund. When
throughout the country the fund of
$170,500,00 is raised $3O,000,000 of
this fund will be- apportioned to the
Catholic War Council Surely all will
be glad to show those who are now
enduring all kinds Of hardship and
risking limb and life for us that we
at home are mindful of their heroic
deeds and are anxious to alleviate
their condition. The work heretofore
done by the Knights of Columbus de-
serves the greatest praise. 1t has
been of incalculable good. This work
under the direction of the, Catholic
War Council this year will be in
creased tenfold. As Catholics will
have such large share in the distri-
button of this recreationaI and well
fare fund they should have a CORE
spondingly large share in collecting
it and in contributing to it. 81

is the pastor allowed to send one
boy from the parish each year to a
Catholic school out of the money in
the parish treasury?
Generally speaking such is not the
custom nor the rule. Some parishes,
however, make provision out of the
ordinary funds to maintain a boy in
college or seminary. Considering the
good that may accrue to both the
young man and society, it is certain
ly most praiseworthy on the part OF
any parish to set aside sufficient funds
each year to educate a promising
young man. A great many parishes
easily could afford such great work
of charity and of religion. There is
no doubt that the blessing of God
would amply repay such generosity.
We know many cases where the
pastor himself out of his own small
income manages to defray the expense
of student in college or seminary
every year. This diocese is especi-
ally blessed in having a number of
such generous priests.
