Catholics in New York md in the
South. For this work, sas the New
York Sun, ''he had thoroughly pre-
pared himself by studying anti-Cath-
Ollie literature, and for eveN accusa-
ton which had been hurkd against
the Church he had DEVELOPED a con-
vincing reply. Probably nc man pos
sessed a more complete library of
anti-Catholic writings than he" If we
remember correctly, it was Bishop Gu.
sack who said years ago in an inter.
view, or in an article, that all the
really worthwhile objections that have
ever been raised against Catholicism
are found grouped together and in
concentrated form in Hase's famous
Handbook of Protestant Polemics.
A Unique case.-Rev. Michael J.
Byrne chaplain at the Federal Peni,
Tertiary, Atlanta, Ga, is priest with
a unique distinction: two of his chill.
dren are in the war service of his
country. His son, Captain John
Byrne, of the Three Hundred and
Twenty-fourth Machine Battalion, is
now in France, but was a surgeon for
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad when
he enlisted in Cincinnati. His daugh,
ter, Miss Jennie Byrne, is an army
nurse and is stationed at Fort Nc
Pherson. Father Byrne became a
priest some years after the death OF
his wife and for time was stationed
at the Cathedral Of Saint John the
Baptist, Savannah, Ga.
An Irish Shrine.-Says the Catholic
Herald: One of the last churches in
San Francisco to recover from the
effects of the earthquake and the fire
was Saint Patrick's, but though long
delayed in it's complete restoration
that event is now approximately near
and when accomplished Saint Pat
ricks will be one of the finest and
most beautiful churches in the state
More than that, it will be thoroughly
Irish shrine as we'll. The stained
glass windows are a portrait gallery
of the saints of the Green Isle and the
columns supporting the roof are tC
be of green, while everything about
the church is suggestive of the lane
which Patrick brought under the con
troll of the Faith.

GLORIOUS STORY.

The soldier is held up by the Church
as one of the most useful members of
the commonwealth, because of the
services he renders to his country and
the example he offers to all citizens,
says Rev. G Thiebault in my Mes
sage" In the course of her long ex-
istence the Church has done still bet
ter than to proclaim the Importance
of the military career: she has intro
duced Christian knighthood upon the
battlefield. That ideal of gallantry
and valor known as the Christian
knight in the pages of history is one
of the creations of the Church.
The nations were not always pro-
Vided with regular armies as we have

In AustraIia.-In Australia, the
Church is growing marvelousIy. The
number of Archbishops, Bishops, insti
tutions and the laity has increased by
leaps and bounds.
italian Franciscans.-The Francis
can Order in Italy alone has given t.
the country 1,076 priests; 939 lay
brothers and scholastics. Of these sc
are chaplains, "a assistant chaplains
Thirteen Franciscan converts in Italy

Sister Honored.-The Royal Rec
Cross, for distinguished services, has
been awarded to Sister Mary Petre. OF
the Little Company of Mary, for hel
work on behalf of the wounded al
Lady Sykes hospital in Yorkshire
The Sister has seen services both in
France and in Rome, where her work
lay among the wounded
Church Reopened. - The restored
church of Castel Gandolfo, Italy, fol
which His Holiness has found the

ship recently with full solemnity over
which Cardinal Granite di Belmonte
Bishop of Albano, presided. Mgr

ceremonies.

Brother Sun-of which ST. Francis
of Assist is the leading figure, is draw,
ing great crowds of people in Rome
among them Cardinals and other
ecclesiastics high in dignity. In
Rome, st. Francis is today the most
popular saint; intellectual, ecclesiasti
cal and civil Rome are attracted to
him.
Martyrs of Uganda.--Recently at
the house of Cardinal Vannutelli in
Rome, ponent Of the cause, was held
the antipreparatory congregation for
the qualification or declaration of mar
tyrdom of Matthew Nurumba, Charles
Luanga and twenty companions killed
in Uganda in 1888 in hatred of the
Faith. The examination into the val
ld1ty of the process in the Apostolic
Vicariate of Northern Nyanza took
place last July.
Friars Minor Suffer Through the

Governor of MaIta.-Lord Methuen
Governor of Malta, has been in Rome
and up at the Italian front. On Sun
day he was received in private audi
ence by the Holy Father, being pre-
sented by the British minister, Count
de Sails. Malta is a very Catholic
island, as far as it's people are con

thought of in connection with the
British navy, which is Catholic in fal
less proportion to that of the United
States.
