PROPAGATION OF THE FAITH

in the most divine of all divine works.
The professors by their noble re-
sponse have linked their labors across
continents to the labors of those
heroes "at the front who are max
ing new conquests for Christ, - an
echo of their patron Paul who stroVe
ito be all things to all men," An end
less line of priests, whose priestly
hands would never have otherwise
known the sacred oils; countless
Masses otherwise never said; count
less souls otherwise never saved.
Grand and glorious work! A perpet-
.ual burse. An undying succession of
the character" that does not die. Ia
priest forever! Priests forever!
And may those many priests who
under God will have owed their ordi
nation to this assistance, and may the
many souls who Under God will have
owed their salvation to those priests
often send up their prayers and sacri
fees as sweet incense before the great
white throne and ask blessing on
that seminary in distant America, .
blessing on the labors of those who
helped to mold the heart of the leyite
and above all a blessing on the min
istry of those who. love to call nei
Alma Mater. and who learned to love
God within her walls.
May you who read this be inspired
to do something for the missions
something big if you can, but at, leas

Pope lnspects Tapestry
COpIFlCATION OF CANON LAW
COMM MEMORATED IN
DESIGN.

The Sovereign Pontiff visited the
Vatican School-of Tapestry last week,
accompanied by Cardinals Gasparri,
Giustini and Dubois. They were in
troduced by Mgr. Tedeschini, who di-
rects this important work, and by
Mgr. Higone. The pupils of the school
worked under the eyes of the Pope at
the border of the picture of Arezzo,
which represents the PRONUNCIATION of
the decree of codification of Canon
Law. The Holy Father examined the
sketch design and pointed out a few
notifications in the attitude of the
personages and the color scheme in
volved. After having inspected the
other Gobeline tapestry on which the
pupils were engaged, and having said
a few encouraging words to pupils and
masters, His Holiness retired.

CARDINAL GIBBONS REVIEWS
POLICY OF THE HOLY SEE DUR
ING THE WAR-ALWAYS STRTV-
ING FOR A JUST AND LASTING
PEACE-HE is THE GREAT I'M
PARTIAL NEUTRAL.

"Thc War Policy of the Pope is dis
cussed by Cardinal Gibbons in last
week S America" The Cardinal pre-.
diets that peace viii finally be based
on the general principles the Pontiff
ha6 pointed out.
Cardinal Gibbons article follows i'll
part: tt -
"The world today is full of peace
terms and rumors of peace. When we
consider the sorrows and tragedies
which the war has caused, and try to
take measure of all the financial and
industrial losses it has entailed both
here and abroad and look forward
into the future in an e1fdeavor to COM
pute the misery and the ruin it will
surely entail if prolongedy we cannot
but yearn for the day when that just,
honorable and durable peace is given
to the world.
MY heart goes out to all the suf,
ferers of the war, to my own country
men first of ALL
"But one lone and majestic figure
More perhaps than any other single
individual our Holy Father, Pope
Benedict XIV, has suffered in this
tragedy. Others have but their own
individual sorrows. He bears the sor-
rows of all.
Works for Peace.
UI+ ;c pof ae+on;ebioo +bo,, that +l,o
Holy Father, lifted above the noise
and the strife of world policies, has
constantly and consistently worked for
q just and enduring peace. Reasonable
men expect that from him. He is a
priest. To millions of Catholics
throughout the world he is the SUI
preme Pontiff commissioned by Christ
to rule and guide His flock Like the
Master, he rules not by the sword but
by love. He is the universal pastor.
As such he cannot become a partici-
pant in the strife And though he
should condemn all violations of the
laws of war, yet as far as is consist
ent with morality and religion he must
hold the balance of equal judgment
between the 7eontending parties.
Those who wish that he had done
more misunderstood the nature of his
office. He iga.not an ordinary neutral.
His position has peculiar features that
make it altogether unique. He is a
co-sufferer with all the nations in the
conflict "
1T must not be thought that his
silence, when he thought it necessary,
came from cowardice, worldly pru-
dence or political and selfish motives.
Scarcely a month of his pontificate
passed without some word of warning
from him, some appeal for the pris-
oner, the war sufferer, some protest
against the horrors and injustices of
the fratricidal struggle. On January
%, 1915, he again earnestly pleaded
for the cessation of armed strife. He
appointed February Z for Europe and
March 21 for the rest of the world as
a day of public prayer for peace by
the millions of his children through
out the world.

year he asked his subjects, wherever

VEGETABLES IN THE CELLAR

Every cellar with any kind of house
heating plant in it is usually too
warm and dry for vegetables, says
the National War Commission of
Washington. The thing to do in
such a cellar is to partition off a
small foom-corner room preferable
with a window or two, for vege-
table or root cellar.
The partition is easily built with
2x4 inch strips placed at top and
bottom to which the boards are
nailed, : single thickness of boards is
not enough. A fairly good partition
may be made by placing building
paper over the boards with tongue
and-groove material over this.
To MAXI well insulated partition,
however, IS more of job. Use a
2x4 scantlirg for a plate on the floor
and set studding from plate to ceiling.
Place these 16 inches apart, nail
boards OH the outside, cover with
building paper and nail tongue-and-
groove material over the paper. Or
the inside lath and plaster in the
usual way. Put in a door wide
enought to take in a barrel for con,
venience in getting vegetables in anC
out.

THE TRIANGLE SECRETARY
Bliss Carman in Association Men.

Up to the front line trenches
Where tie brunt of the fighting falls,
And back to the last cantonment
When the summoning bugle calls.
Wherever there's need of brother
To carry the fighting tune,
In the wal of men and angels
Go the men of the Great Triune.
To war with the darkling powers
Courageous and clean they go.
They carr no arms in the battle,
But the things that count they know.
They know when a word is in season,
When a friendly hand is a BOOM
To serve md be glad in the serving
Is the creed of the Great Triune.
On the sands of the blazing desert,
On the paeS of relentless SHOWS,
Wherever III quest of freedom
The trail of humanity goes,
There's never a post too lonely,
There's never a time too soon,
Nor ever a task too daunting
For the heart of the Great Triune.
In the name of the Master of Man
hood,
Who taught that man is divine
Spirit and mind and body,
They hold the supporting line.
Till the world that sits in darkness
Shall walk ir the light of noon,
They nill wear the triple cheyron,
Defending their faith triune.
Faith in the far off vision,
The tguth of the mystic plan
Wherqh Hove and reason and valor

PRESS COMMENT
"For Beverage Purposes"

1t cannot be repeated too often OF
emphasized too strongly that the
Constitutional amendment which the
next Vermont legislature will be ask
ed to ratify prohibits the manufac-
ture and sale of Intoxicating liquors
"for beverage purposes" only.
Alcohol may or may not be neces-
sary for medicinal purposes. The
preponderance of expert medical OPP
inion at the present time is against
suehAlse except in a very few excep-
tional cases; but whether it is need
ed in few or in many cases as a
medicine has nothing whatever to do
with the question now under consid-
GRAFTON.
Very strict laws have been passed
regarding the sale and use of marco
tic drugs. They have a recognized
and undisputed value in medicine, and
no one wishes to stop their legitimate
use to relieve pain when administered
by qualified physician. But very
properly the government does all in
its power to prevent their indiscrimi-
nate use by persons who have acquir-
ed the drug habit or are in danger of
doing so.
The same thing is true in the case
of alcohol. 1t is a narcotic, habit
forming drug, and should never be
used unless under the direction of a
competent physician who prescribes
it for some definite remedial pur-
pose.
Again, certain branches of the
Christian church believe that they
must use fermented wine in the sac
rament of the Lords supper. Whet-
her they are right or wrong in their
belief, has nothing to do with the
question under discussion. The am
endment if adopted will not inter-
fere with their practice in the least.
1t is true that a lower court in
Oklahoma decided that the prohibi-
tory law of that state forbade the use
Of fermented wine in the sacrament,
and the decision has been used by the
liquor interests in various states as
means of frightening some very good
people into opposing all prohibitory
laws.
They have failed to make equally
clear the fact that the Supreme
Court of Oklahoma reversed the de-
cision of the lower court, and that
even if it had not, the case was entire
ly different from the present one in
which the prohibition is explicitly OF
liquor "for beverage purposes" and
includes nothing else.
Let no one be deceived. The Unit
ed States Constitution gives power or
limits power only in matters concern
ing which it speaks in explicit terms.
The proposed amendment if adopted
will forbid the sale and manufacture
of Intoxicating liquors "for beverage
purposes and nothing else what
ever.-Vermont Issue
