taneOus reception of a large number
of soldiers and their visitors, and for
serving refreshments which it would
otherwise be impossible for visitors to
the camp to procure. Relatives of
Catholic soldiers can now be assured
Of the possibility Of paying visits with
out being subjected to all manner of
discomfort, inconvenience and fatigue.
Since the movement of troops has
been accelerated, a similar necessity
has arisen at Camp Mills, at Mineola,
Long Island, the only difference being
that there is need of very much larger
quarters. A building, $50 by ITO, with
second story which allows a consid-
cradle provision of sleeping quarters,
has been started and rushed towards
completion with a speed quite un-
eXampled in such matters. 1t is to
cost $4,000 and will be ready very
soon.
Young Women'S Service Club.
Another interesting episode in War
Council work was the formal opening,
on Saturday, June 8, of a Catholic
Young Women's Service Club, under
the direction of the New York Dio-
cesar War Council. The building is
at 641 Lexington Avenue, and the
task OF adapting it for the girls
classes in war work was committed
to the WOmen's Auxiliary of the Do
cesar Council. 1t stands in a thickly
populated district, and hundreds of
girls had registered their intention OF
participating in the various phases of
Women's war activities before the
doors were opened. This constitutes
most important phase of War Com
munity service The formal opening
was by MOnsignor NJ J. Lavelle, chair
man of the New York Diocesan Hos
pital. Mgr. Lavelle feels that in
every community where it can be done
the Catholic contribution should in
c1ude central service club for girls,
another for men, and as large a pro-
vision for hospitals for the wounded
as the means available will permit to
be made.

la Fayette Aux Etats-Unis. BY Louis
Pom. Published by Pierre TeQui,
Paris. Price so cents.
The author of this interesting work
tells us the secret of American enthu-
siasm for the French cause is summed
up in one word, Lafayette. He says
therein the bond which has united
the two great Republics dates from
the time the hero of the Brandywine
first came among the American colon
lists. There is a short account of
Lafayette's youth, and the work then
proceeds to consider the various.
events in the life of the great French.
man down to the treaty of Versailles.
A closing chapter presents the rela-
lions between the United States and
France from the beginning to the
present great war. The work is we'll
worthy of perusal at the present time
as showing the reasons of the close
friendship between the French and
America.
Observation-Disclosures. By Mgr.
Glbier. Published by Pierre Tequi.
Paris. Price rs cents.
The above is the title of a series
by the learned and pious Bishop of
Versailles. The present work, the
first of the series, treats of Religion.
The author divides his study into
four parts: Nature of Religion, Re-
ligious Beliefs, Practices, Good
Works. He thus unites a complete
consideration of faith and works, and
under this head he examines and ex-
plains clearly and intelligently the
various parts of the great structure
OF religion. The value and the power
of religion are shown with invincible
arguments. The practical nature of
religion, its various works, virtues
and human relations, are shown to be,
but parts of that complete design
which should be found in the life of
every Christian. The work is most
readable, and it presents the doctrines
of the Church in a most interesting
manner.

A CHAT WITH RECTOR WHO WAS
THOUGHT CRAZY WHEN HE

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ORGAN.

In sixteen Catholic churches, scat
tered through various cities in the
United States, doors are opened at 2
o'clock every Sunday morning and
service begins half an hour later, says
the Catholic Columbian. Originally
intended for the accommodation in a
religious way of compositors and 9th
this service has been found to fit the
needs of a variety of night workers,
including telegraph operators, postof-
flee employees and night delivery wag-
on drivers.
The first church to adopt this eX-
traordinary hour for religious service
stands just off Park Row-home Of
newspaperdom in New York-and has
an unusual and rather interesting his
tory. 1t is just 100 years DID, and was
built by the Unitarians, being the first
place Of worship perfected by that de-
nomination in the city. Later, without
material change in it's outward APP
pearance, it became a mart for the
sale of wine and cocoanuts.
Eighty years ago the lower end of
Manhattan Island being then still a
fashionable center, it was bought by a
few wealthy men as a home for the
Carroll Club, named for Charles Car
roll of CarrolltOn, one of the signers
of the Declaration of independence.
In 1S41 it was purchased by the then
Bishop of New York and opened the
following spring as st. Andrew

Although ordinarily the music at st.
Andrews is furnished by unframed
male volunteers, on Christmas and
selected from some of the most ia
nous mixed choirs of the city, is Sc

those occasions crowded with persons
drawn from all parts Of the city.
From wherever they come they de-
part with the consciousness of having
listened to a truly wonderful church

Of a paragraph all by itself.
During the early eighties there was
a rector Of this questionable church.

Mgr. James Mcmahon, whose father, a
famous linen merchant in Dublin, dy-
Ing, left him an immense fortune
This wealth he distributed in many
ways, including funds for the erection
Of what is now known as "McMahon
Hall" at the Catholic University in
Washington. Another generous slice
of it went to the construction Of the
amazing organ in st. Andrews Church
Experts have declared that there is
not another such instrument in Amer

The priest, who also, by the way, is
chaplain of the Tombs, city prison,
lifted a deprecating hand and replied:
THE night workers have certainly

average attendance of from six to sew

deep sympathy for them, that num-

part OF our night Mass congregation. -
Until nine years ago st. Andrews
was the only church in the world to
offer this Sunday morning concession
between the Voice of Duty and the
Call of Sleep. Another New York
church, further uptown, but also in a
neighborhood of night workers, was
the first to follow it's lead. Then came
