A $4,000 drive by the Mems Club
of the Incarnation parish, Mime
apolis. will take place before July 15
Such was the resolution adopted after
careful deliberaUion by the club at its
meeting, Thursday evening, June Is
a hundred of the leading business
men of the parish were present, with
a good sprinkling of the younger men
OF the district. The splendid finan-
cial condition of the parish at the
completion of its monumental church
sulnce encouraged the men to under
take the work of reducing the debt
without delay.
The property of the parish repre-
sents an investment of about $25O, 900,
with an Indebtedness of $4,000
against it. This amount of work
accomplished in less than nine years
by the parish under the leadership of
Very Reverend J. VI. Cleary, con-
vinced the men that, with the value
of the property increasing every
month, and with the constantly grow
ing Catholic population of the beauti-
ful lake district of Minneapolis they
can raise $4,000 before the end of the
present year.
II was pointed out by J. J. Quinn,
president OF the club, that the interest
on $4,000 would amount TO a sum
each year of between $4,000 and
$1,000. The matter was thoroughly
discussed pro and con, and the longer

they became that the financial re-
sources of the Catholic population

Of science, writes A. L. Cortie in
America. The falsity of this charge
is proved by the fact that so many of
her devoted children, real practical
Catholics, have been eminent in every
branch of science. Not only laymen,
but priests, too, and religious, whose
aim in life was to teach others the

nicus was a priest and a canon; Men
del was priest and abbot; Stensen
was a bishop, and Linacre became a
priest late in life. These are persons,
even if they existed alone, whose
claims to recognition among the s-e"t
men of science no one will deny. Our
late Pontiff, Pope Leo XIII, in letter
addressed TO the members of the
scientific society of Brussels, ex.

piety and to science so as ITO prove
that there never can exist any real

father was a joiner, Antonio Secchi;
his mother, also a member of the mid

was one of higher literature. after the
