The Catholic bulletin. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1911-1995, 1918-04-06

We number here upwards of
twenty millions of Catholics. The
Methodists are not one-fourth as
numerous as we. Yet they are
raising seventy-five millions of
dollars for their missions, and
they begin by getting thousand
Methodists to promise a thousand
dollars a piece every year for five
years. Comparisons are odious,
comments the Pilot. We know
there are many reasons why Cath
olics may not be able to give as
much as their Methodist brethren.
But there are not only a thousand
Catholics in this country who
could give a thousand dollars a
year. but hundred thousand such
and more. Where are they?

AFTER-WAR PROBLEMS.

The general intention recon-
mended by our Holy Father for
the month of April to the clients
of the Sacred Heart is, prayer for
the solution of after-War problems.
This phrase, after-war problems,
connotes many causes Of the ter
rible struggle. Howsoever writer's
and thinkers may look upon the
present cataclysm, the fact re-
mains that religion is at the base
of the whole horrid thing. Not
that this is a religious war, far
from it but the causes that un-
derlie the great. uphcaval are
directly traceable to religious in
difference.
During the many years of com
parative peace which the world
had enjoyed previous to this war,
religion has suffered in various
ways. The Catholic Church has
been harassed OH many sides by
atheist hatred. All denominations
have suffered UNNECESSARILY from
the inroads' of liberalism and I'M
belief. The result has been that
that the world had come to adopt
a revised code of ethics, a code
in which selfshness, both indi-
vidual and national, predomi-
mated. The strict principles Of
morality, of private conduct, and
of social and commercial relations,
had been superseded by a love of
self-eXaltation. From this there
was but one step to brute force.
After the war new problems of
readjustment will arise in every
nation. Social lines will be rear
ranged; labor problems will de-
mand attention; socialism, with
it's many pestiferous outgrowths,
must be dealt with; millions of re-
turning soldiers in the various
countries must be brought back to
the tighter lines Of civilian life !;
in a word, society everywhere
must undergo thorough recon
struction.
IL the nations return to God,
our new life will be permeated
with strictly Christian principles.
If God be ignored, if rigorous JUS
tice be sighted. the next few
decades will be but a period Of
preparation for a greater and more
terrible slaughter. Neglect of
God in the past has brought on
the present tide Of evils; neglect
of God in the future will bring the
pillars of civilization lettering to
earth, even as it did the apparent
~ impregnable strength Of the
Roman Empire.

MEMORIAL TO THE NUNS.

One of the effects Of our Civil
War was to place the Catholic nun
on pedestal. Her wonderful and
disinterested service for the
wounded Of both sides throughout
the struggle won for her an i'm
perishable place in the hearts Of
the soldiers. 1t would seem that
the mere mention Of a monument
to her honor would meet with
instant and universal approval
When the question, however, was
proposed to the government. great
was the disappointment voiced on
every hand that our legislators

Pageant in Auditorium
CIVIC CELEBRATION IN HONOR OF
THIRD LIBERTY LOAN - MILL.
TARY EvENT-cHoRUS OF FIVE
HUNDRED VOICES.

On the evenings of April II, IL and
13, civic celebration will be held in
the st. Paul Auditorium. The exer-
cises will be under the direction of
Mrs. Robert Seymour, acting director
of the st. Paul Art Institute. The af-
fair will be in honor of the launching
of the Third Liberty Loan. The idea
embodied in this event is to arouse
enthusiasm and civic interest, to draw
the people of the whole city together
in the bonds of united strength, and
to create such a feeling in the city
of st. Paul, representing every man.
woman and child, that it will act as
one solid unit in promoting this great
national work.
There will be an opening chorus,
The Marseillaise, sung by the trained
choir of the st. Paul Seminary under
the direction of Rev. F. Missia and
chorus of five hundred voices. This
grand chorus will comprise singers
from the churches of all denomina'
tions in st. Paul as well as the various
college and high school glee clubs.
A number of military evolutions will
be given by a contingent of soldiers
from Fort Smelling. Speakers of ma
tional prominence will add to the va
riety and interest of the evening.
Some of the best bands in the city
will be present and will render a num-
Der of patriotic selections.
The performance on these three
evenings is free to the public, and it
is to be hoped that the whole city viii
enter into the spirit of the occasion.

VENICE THE BEAUTIFUL.

The loss or the destruction of
any city is a thing greatly to be
deplored. When, however, init
mate associations make that city,
so to say, the heirloom Of the race
the loss is absolutely irreparable.
For a time it was greatly to be
feared that the city of Venice, the
Queen Of the Adriatic, might be
subject to ruthless destruction on
the part of the enemy. Certain
places in this world are so init
mately bound up with the history
and traditions Of the nations that
they belong to the whole race.
Their injury or loss inficts a deep
pain on the race itself.
Such is Venice. On every hand
we behold names and objects that
have become an integral part Of
our Intellectual heritage. The
very mention Of the name evokes
a. whole phalanx Of historical
characters warriors, poets, paint
ers, rulers, misunderstanding
to every student of history This
constellation Of twinkling starlets,
reflected Oh the shimmering waves
of the Adriatic, is in sense the
possession Of mankind. The
world of painting would suffer i'm
measurably were the Venetian
masters = Tintoretto, Giorgione,
Carpaccio, the Bellinis, and-the in
comparable Titan = eliminated
from the scene.
The commercial supremacy Of
this wonderful city enabled the
Venetians to open up the treasure
houses of the Orient and to import
thence much Of the splendor of
the East. The indomitable spirit
of her navigatorS taught the world
the value and the advantages of
maritime daring. The terrible
Council of Ten was but the cpl
tome Of Venetianslntrepidity turn
ed into the channel of selfish des-
potism.
That wonder Of the world. the
Church of st. Mark, is worth al
most half the gIories of Europe.
The story of old Dandolo and the
Doges, Of Carmagnola, and, other
names, forms an. intensely inter-
esting chapter in European his
tory. San Marco, the Rialto,
Marco Polo! These are names to
conjure with in the literary world.
The spirit of the times was well
Illustrated by the superb Emperor
Charles who, STOPPING to pick the
brush dropped by the great Titan,
thus answered the establishment
of the courtiers: " A Titan is
worthy to be served by Caesar. y
1t is sincerely to be hoped that
the Austrian birdmen, in their
aerial pirouetting over the beau
teous landscape of Northern Italy,
will, in the interests Of art and of
civilization, withhold their de-
stroying bombs from this historic
spot. May the shades of the fair
Queen of the Adriatic rise up be-
fore them, and gently Gliding their
ruthless spirit, persuade them to
spare the dazzling isles Of the sea.

No Lenten Fast

In consequence of the difficulties
of procuring foods and the restric-
lions already imposed on self-indul-
gence, there was no Lenten fast this
year in England. and even the abb
stinence days were not obligatory on
conscience except so far as Ash
Wednesday and Good Friday go, >The
faithful, however, are enjoined If pos
sible to keep every Friday throughout
the year as a, day of abstinence, and
as fish is more plentiful than meat.

ALCOHOL AND ARTERIES.

In readers letter to the Ohio
State Journal Columbus, Ohio, ply
stefan attacks the notion as advertised
by liquor men that booze of any sort
has any medicinal, stimulating or
Strengthening power On the con-
trary, the physician finds that the use
of any alcoholic drink is wholly harm,
Il presume | am not the only one
disguised with the booze advertise
mentS in our street cars. Even
Thanksgiving and Christmas are car
TONED in a desperate effort to boost
the sale of wet goods to the weak and
ignorant. Nothing of late has been
more offensive than the advertise
ment of a certain whisky.
What are the real facts about
whisky and old age? In order to keep
young and well one must have the
physical ability to rapidly replace the
worn body cells with new ones, keep
a perfect circulation of good blood
and regularly eliminate the waste ma
terial of the body. The walls of our
blood vessels must be thin and elastic
in order to sustain proper circulation.
This is the normal condition of blood
vessels in youth AS we grow old the
walls of the arteries gradually and
quite naturally thicken. This is one
cause of poor circulation among the
aged. Alcohol also thickens the artery
walls. 1t is frequently the cause of
fatty degeneration. In many cases
lime-like substance is deposited in the
inner surface of the artery and this
condition is called hardened arteries.
We find that all artery walls thicken
ed by alcohol have lost elasticity;
therefore an extra burden is put on
the heart to keep up a normal circu
lation of blood. In time this extra
burden Weakens the heart. 1t is east
ly understood how the artery walls
become very brittle when they harden
with the use of alcohol or age. Any
extra exertion, such as running for
a train, lifting some heavy weight, or
it may be from a fit of jealousy or
anger, will cause extra blood pres
sure. This pressure breaks or splits
the arteries and the death certificate
reads apoplexy.'
Our school children are now
taught that health and vitality de-
pend upon our ability to filter food
substances through the minute blood
vessels to our tissues. Also much
depends on the readiness with which
We can draw the waste matter from
the tissues to our blood to be carried
to the organs of elimination. Thus
hardened by alcohol the same serious
condition producing old age. Nutri-
ton is lessened and elimination i'm
paired. Remember we are never
older than our arteries
"At middle age our power of de-
stroying the natural body poisons
grows less. If a man has added alco-
hol to these poisons in early life, he
will find at middle age he must change
his habits or suffer serious conse-
quences. This explains why Prof
Sims Woodhead states that, If drink
is continued into middle life, instead
of living to so or 80 years as man
should he is liable to die at so or SO
from degeneration of blood vessels or
heart failure
AS these are simple facts to be
found in any school physiology, It is
surprising that anyone dare advertise
that any alcoholic drink can keep us
young.
