and to observe the same regulations
in their individual homes and places

THE sAUBERT THEATRE.

'The Lottery Man," a comedy in
three acts, by Rida Johnson Young,
will be staged at the Shubert the week
OF February 20, by the Shubert Stock
Company. 1t is an extremely amusing
play, and has enjoyed continuous
prosperity since it's first production.
AS the story runs, Payton, a newspa-
per man, helps his friend Jack Wright
out of a financial hole, in return for
which Jack is to furnish him with an
exclusive story for his paper. With
out thought of serious consequences
the two frame up a lottery system.
Lizzie Roberts, who turns up with
the lucky number, is most remark
able person whom Jack feels it would
be impossible to wed. But just when
things look darkest, it is discovered
that she stole her ticket, which really
belongs to Hedwig Jensen. Hedwig
is already satisfactorily engaged, and
the coast is left clear for Jack.

DIOCESE OF ST. CLOUD

ST. Cloud: At the conclusion of
Vespers last Sunday evening, the Rt
Rev. Bishop Busch solemnly blessed
the Cathedral service flag. The serv-
ice flag contains III stars, represent
ing 1T young men from the parish
who have gone forth to fight for their
country. The Rt. Rev. Bishop then
gave a forty-five minute sermon ap-
propriate for the occasion. Several
weeks ago similar services were held
at the Immaculate Conception Church
when a service flag was blessed con-
tanning 67 stars. st. John Cantius'
parish has also sent 16 young men to
the front. This makes a total of 200
Catholic young men who have gone
from this city to battle for their coun-
try. This is an excellent showing con-
sidering that this is German COM
munity. The Red Cross and the
Knights of Columbus in their cam
paigns have received most generous
support. Although a German commu-
nifty, they believe that great things are
accomplished by deeds rather than by
words.

dral, announced last Sunday that a

from other places the amount realized
in the diocese of Winona will prob
ably reach between $4,000 and
$4,000.
Rev. Leon Hazinski, who has COM
pleted his theological studies at the
Saint Paul Seminary, was ordained
to the priesthood at st. Mary's Col
lege on February 8, by Bishop Hef-
from, The newly ordained priest will
take up his work in Winona, and has
been appointed assistant to Rev. j.
Pacholski, pastor of st. Stanislaus
Church.
Lieutenant Paul Perigord, soldier
priest, delivered a half dozen address
es here last Tuesday, and was guest
at two banquets. Lieutenant Perigord
also took part in the dedication of the

BISHOP McGOLRICK BURSE

sirable, native clergy is, at the
present moment absolutely neces-
sary, if the works of Mother Church
in these countries are to be saved
from destruction. Since the war
clouds lowered over Europe, the
physically fit among foreign mission
ary priests have been summoned
from the field by their respective gov
ernments for military service. AS a
consequence there is left to the mis-
sions those priests only who, on ac-
count of age or physical inability, are
of no military value to their coun-
tries.
But if such be the sorry state of
Catholic foreign missions at the pres
ent time, what of the future? The
aged workers in the field are rapidly
passing to their eternal reward The
younger ones, too, are falling beneath
the burdens which they have been
forced to bear. VIII their places in
the ranks be filled from European
seminaries, as in the past? Alas,
they viii not. for European foreign
missionary seminaries are practically
empty during these days of war.
The hope of the foreign mission
situation, therefore, rests in the ma
tive born youth. We are assured
that there are hundreds and hundreds
of Chinese, Japanese and Indian col
lege boys who would make excellent
priests of God, had they the means
to pursue a siX-year course of semi
nary study. According to Monsignor
Freri, sixty dollars, the annual inter
est on a thousand dollar principal,
will maintain a native seminarian
for year. A thousand dollar foun-
dation, then, will place native priest
at the altar every six years for time
to come.
And A. P. X. would start that
burse! Blessed inspiration, dear
working-girl friend! We firmly be-
lieve that there are many more of
your stamp among the readers of the
Catholic Bulletin to whom the idea
will make strong appeal. Fathers and
mothers of families, who have not
been blessed with priest son of their
own; men and women who have in
mind to write a check in favor of
some worthy Catholic cause during
this Lenten season; friends of the
great Bishop of Duluth, who would
like to honor his memory and per-
petuate his priesthod in the far East.
Offerings to the James McGolricF
Burse will be received by Rev. James
A. Byrnes, ST. Paul Seminary, st.
Paul, Mimi.

DIOCESE OF WINONA

Winona: The School Commission
for the diocese of Winona appointed
by Bishop Heffron in the interest of
the parochial schools, is preparing a
Commercial Study for Catholic high
schools. Last summer the Commits
sion presented a course of studies for
the grade schools, and the course was
introduced into all the schools of the
diocese at the opening of the school
year in September. Reports from
many of the schools indicate that the
work is being very much improved.
AS the number of high schools in the
diocese increases, it is found that a
necessity exists for a uniform course
of studies. The Commission has al
ready held meeting in which the
preliminary work has been mapped
out and assigned to different groups
of the members for further develop
ment. The Commission will hold it's
next meeting at Rochester, on Feb.
ruary %.
The personnel of the Commission
has been chosen from the teaching
orders of the diocese and the diocesan
clergy. Rt Rev. e. H. Devlin, V. G.,
is Chairman of the Commission.
Other members of the Commission
are: Rt. Rev. NJ. Wurst, of Wabasha;
Very Rev. A. Hartman, S. j., of Man
kato; Rev. J. A Cummiskey, of Lake
City; Brother Edward, principal of
the Cotter School of Winona; Sisters
Mary Joseph and Mary Bernard, of
the Congregation of Notre Dame, and
Sisters Mary Jean and Mary Richard
OF the Order of st. Francis, Roches-
ter. The course of studies for high
schools will be ready at the opening
OF school in September. The Com
mission has also taken up the work
of preparing uniform method of
keeping school records. After all the
preliminary work is done superin-
tendent of all the schools in the dio-
cese will oversee the school work and
make regular reports to the diocesan
authorities.
The Apostolic Delegate, Most Rev.
erend John Bonzano, will come to
Winona at the beginning Of June, and
will preside at the commencement ex-
ercises and the comforting of degrees
at st. Mary's College and the College
of st. Teresa.
One hundred and seventy young
men have joined the service of their
country from the parish OF st. Stan.
islaus, and thirty-eight have joined
from st. Casimir's parish. Winona
From figures available at the present
time it would appear that about 300
of the 500, who have already joined
the service from Winona county, are
Catholic young men.
The drive for the K. of G. fund in
Winona county amounted to $500

Brief Reviews and Notices

Au Coeur De Jesus Agonisant: BY J.
qui, Paris.
The above work is from the pen OF
the arch-priest of the Basilica of the
Sacred Heart, Paris. 1t consists of
twelve meditations on the Sacred
Heart for use during the Holy Hour.
1t contains, also, an historical expo
sition of the origin of this pious de-
votion. 1t explains, in the form of
meditation, the agony endured by the
Sacred Heart and the various causes
which contributed to make the Heart
of Jesus suffer. One of the most in
teresting and profitable chapters in
the book is that which treats of the
Sacred Heart and the priesthood.
Les Vrais Principles De L'Education:
By Rev. A. Monfat. Published by
Pierre Tequi, Paris.
This work of 47O pages is a review
of the various principles that should
govern the Christian education of
our youth. 1t is addressed to teach
ers and to parents. In his work the
author, who is a distinguished Mar
ist, lays solid foundation for the
success of Christian education. Works
OF this kind usually show the neces-
sity of such training for the child,
with emphasis on the various means
to be employed in imparting that
training. gLiSs+eS
Father Monfat, however, makes a
new departure in this valued work
He lays special emphasis on the con-
ditions necessary for a successful
teacher of Christian children. Point
ing out the special excellence of the
teachers mission, he shows with
many arguments why the teacher
himself should be model of all
those principles of right living which
he inculcates in the child. At great
length the author proves that the
teacher, in order to be successful,
must be possessed not only of knowl-
edge, but also of piety and of Chris
tian charity. The teacher should be
model for the child, and should win
the child's respect by his kindness,
firmness, and sound judgment. AL
together, this work is one of the most
valuable that we have yet seen in TIE
matter of practical education. 1t is
to be hoped that a translation in
English may soon appear.

tured before the faculty and students
OF Saint Clara College, his subject
being Irish Folklore" A sympa-
thetic treatment of his theme, with
happy play of humor, awakened Il
cordial response in his audience and
prepared them for the consideration
of the function of imagination as an
educational factor. A new interest in
Irish Literature was aroused by these
glimpses into the fruitful sources of
Ireland's poetic riches.

/ HAPPY PROPOSAL FROM A
FRIEND OF THE MIssIoNS--A
PRACTICAL SUGGESTION FOR
THE LENTEN sEAsoN-NEED OF
DEVELOPING NATIVE CLERGY.
st. Paul, Minn., Feb. 10, 1913.
REV. JAMES A. BYRNES,

st. Paul, Minn., Feb. 10, 1918.
REV. JAMES A. BYRNES,
Director Society for the Propa-
pagation of the Faith, st. Paul
Seminary, St. Paul, Mimi.
Dear Father:
Having just finished reading the
pamphlet Native Clergy for Mission
Countries" issued by the society for
the Propagation of the Faith, it oc-
ours to me that as we are all called
upon to perform penance, in one way
or the other, during the Lenten sea-
son, just now opening, most meri-
torious manner of so doing would
be to forego some of the vain pleas
ures and luxuries, of life, and offer
the amount sacrificed to the end for
which Christ suffered and died-the
salvation of immortal souls.
Since there is such urgent need of
native priests in the foreign field to-
day, would it not be possible, to estab-
lish a burse in the Diocese of st.
Paul for the training of an ecclesi-
astical student in one of the mission
countries?
AS the cup Of cold water, given in
His name, does not remain un-
rewarded, how much more may those
who help to train and educate a
laborer for His Vineyard expect from
His benevolent hand?
AS a starter" I am enclosing
check for five dollars, and may sug-
gest that the burse be called "The
James McGolrick Burse," in memory
of the late Bishop of Duluth?
Yours truly,
A. P. K.

Virginia: The new italian church
erected on the North Side at a cost
of $4,000 was blessed February 10,
at 10:3O a. m., by Monsignor Buh of
Ely, administrator of the diocese. The
blessing was postponed for a time on
account of the death of Bishop Nc
GOlrick. The new building, to be
known as the Sacred Heart of Jesus
Church, is the same size and is on
the same plan as the Immaculate Con-
ception Church of Eveleth Rev. Ger
ardo Penta, pastor of the Italian par
ish in EVeleth, will have charge of the
new parish also. Father Penta has
been in this district for the past two
years, and besides erecting the
church at Virginia he had charge of
the erection of a fine rectory in Eve
leth, and has paid up a large part of
the debt on the church in that place.
He has proven himself to be hard
and earnest working man and has
made many friends in his own parish
as we'll as others.

ty singers, under the direction of
Prof. Laugier of Virginia featured the
