War Decorated Crucifix
UNUSUAL INCIDENT Is RELATED
ON FRENCH FRONT.

A Spanish prelate, the Bishop-elect
of Victoria, who has been travelling in
France, stopped one day by an old
trench to speak to the men at work
in it. What followed is told by NJ
Rene BaZin in the Echo de Paris:
Come and see," said a man; there
is something that will not displease
you" A little group made it's way to
the point where the trench made a
turn, and there the Bishop saw a
great figure of Christ crucified in met
AL an arm and foot of which had
been broken and the body pitted by
German shells 1T was on the knoll
during the BATTLE" explained the man
who had first spoken; I'VE brought it
away and put it in as good a place
as we could"
and what is that on the breast?''
asked the Bishop as he came nearer
and saw over the region of the heart
a Croix de Guerre.
Much moved, the Bishop again
asked: who has done this splendid
thing?" and the reply from one was
All of us" and from another, He
has well deserved it."

THE EASTER DUTY.

t+
The Easter Duty, as every Cath
Ollie knows, consists in making a
good confession and receiving
Holy Communion during the Pas
chal season. Even if a person re-
ceives Holy Communion every
day outside this season, he is
obliged by a positive law Of the
Church to comply with this duty
during the prescribed period.
The penalty for noncompliance
with the Easter Duty consists in
the automatic privation of the
privileges accorded to every good
Catholic.
Since the movement inaugural
ed by Pope Plus x, for frequent,
and even daily, Communion has
been SO widespread it would seem
that very few, if any, persons
would be found to neglect this all
important matter. At the same
time, the stress and struggle of
life works its harm even in the
realm of religion at times special
reasons or peculiar circumstances
may urge a person to defer obedi-
lence to this command Of the

atty, to- tic last fa1thing, for the,
sins of the nations that have been
crying to heaven for vengeance.
Current history shows most con-
clusively that certain countries
were gradually returning to pa
ganism, at least in many Of their
practices. No country but what
has outraged God by countless
crimes, both public and private,
that seem to challenge the power
of His might.
The innumerable souls that
have cried out, | have sinned,
and what has happened to me, are
now hearing the answer of divine
wrath. The world may allege po-
litical, social, or economic reasons
for the great war. Jealousies of
nations and the fight for CONNER
eial supremacy may be cited as
causes for provocation. Reasons
for offensive or defensive opera
tions may be stated in the clear
est terms as causes for participa7
ton in the conflict. All these are
but the human viewpoint. The
real, deep-rooted cause of the
huge tidal wave of destruction
that now threatens the world, is
the enormity Of man. s sin. The
war will end when the mills Of
God have ground so small that
divine justice is appeased for the
present.
A crimson Easter will now rise
upon a disrupted humanity. His
blood be upon us and upon our
children will be verified with a
terrible actuality. In time of
peace the snuffing out Of human
life evokes excited comment: to-
day, the day of the Lord, the
blood Of many human beings
flows upon the bosom of the earth
| in a ceaseless torrent. The wine
press and the operators thereof
are bathed in crimson, and the
pressing will continue until the
last drop of blood has been shed
Even during the white glory OF
Easter morn these terrible mills
will continue to grind, and the
white glory will be transformed
into a crimson glory.

THE GARDEN ARMY.

The Department Of the Interior
has announced the formation of
"The United States Garden
Army" with a membership of s.
100000 children. The purpose Of
this army" is to supply the fam
lilies Of each member with vege-
tables, small fruits and eggs dur
ing the summer and fall. In con-
junction with the Department of
Agriculture branches are being
organized throughout the coun-
try. General superintendent will
be in charge of the various dis
tricts into which the country will
be divided. The campaign will be
marked by competitions, and hon
Ors, prizes and distinctions will
be given the winners.
This work may be considered
an auxiliary branch of the Juve-
nile Red Cross activities. The
spirit of the junior division Of the
Red Cross is the mculcation Of
active service for the benefit of
others without the hope or the
promise Of financial recompense.
The idea is to impress upon the
minds of children the necessity
of doing something useful for 9TH
ers from a spirit both Of patriot
ism and of humanity. The ex-
perience Of the past year shows
what can be done by organized
effort with regard to home gar
dens.
The Catholic schools through
out the country will be called
upon to do their share in this
great effort, Already many have
emphasized their intention by
formulating plans for. this work.
The students of the Cathedral
College, of Chicago, have all been
organized to take up this work
on farms owned by several of the
larger diocesan institutions. The
parochial schools of st. Paul have
begun work in this field, and are
being brought into line with the
national organization under the
direction Of Mrs. J. X. Scott.
Catholics have taken such a prom
inent part in every movement con.
nected with the present war, that
it is to be hoped the parochial
schools throughout the Archdio-
cese of st. Paul will equal the rec
ord made by other members OF
their faith in the various activi-
ties in connection with the war.

PERSHING'S REQUEST
WISH OF GENERAL CANNOT BE
GRANTED OWING TO PRIESTS
OFFICIAL DUTIES.

Very Rev. James M. KirWin, Adj
ministrator of the Diocese of Calves
ton, Texas, who was to become
member Of the staff of General John
J. Pershing, commander of, the Amer
lean expeditionary forces in France,
announced last week that he would
be unable to go to the front on &C.
count of new duties entrustLi to his
care.
General Pershing personally re-
quested the War Department, some
time ago, to appoint Father Kirwin a
member of his staff and Father Kir-
win went to Washington last Novem-
Der, for a conference with the depart
ment regarding the specific character
of the work General Pershing wanted
him to do and to what degree his
services were needed at the front.
Due to the sickness and death, how
ever, of Right Rev. Nicholas A. Gal
lagher, D. D., late Bishop of the Gal
weston Diocese, Father KirWin was
obliged to notify the War Department
that it would be impossible for him
to comply with General Pershing's re
quest.

CARDINAL SERAFlNI
FUNERAL OF LATE PRELATE
WAS MOST IMPosING-ARcH-
BISHOP cERRETTI SANG MASS.

In the death of Cardinal Serafini
the Sacred College has lost one of the
most highly esteemed of it's members.
All the Italian newspapers, even the
most infidel and anti-Catholic among
them, paid tribute to him as a great
and a good churchman, who enjoyed
the intimate friendship and confidence
of Popes Leo XIII, Plus x and Bene-
dict XIV.
The funeral services, which took
place on Saturday, March 16, by the
order of the Holy Father, in the
Church of SAINT IgnaZio, Rome, were
the most imposing of the kind since
those for the late Cardinal Rampolla
in st. Peters. Cardinal Cerretti pom.
tificated at the Requiem Mass. The
students of the College of the PrOpa-
ganda were present, as we'll as those
of the American and the Scotch Col
leges, of which the late Cardinal was
the protector The dean of the Sa-
cred College, Cardinal Vannutelli
gave the absolutions. Twenty-three
Cardinals, the members of the diplo-
matte corps, and very large gath

Head Of Tapestry School
COMMENTATOR GENTILI DIED
IN RoME-WAS DIRECTOR OF
PONTIFICAL SCHOOL.

Commentators Gentili, director Of
the Pontifical School of Tapestry, died
very suddenly last week. Seventy
four years old, he had devoted him
self since the age of Is to his chosen
work and had recently reaped his re-
ward in the reorganization and official
establishment under the present Pope
of the Pontifical School. His best
known works are Country Scenes"
completed in 1868; "St. Agnes,> 1874,
and it was the express wish of Plus
TX that this should be sent to the
world exposition at Philadelphia; est.
Joseph" which is now in the ante
room of the Papal apartments at the
Vatican.
The last big work put in hand is
the great tapestry representing the
PRONUNCIATION of the New Code of
Canon Law, the beginnings of which
His Holiness was able to see on his
last visit to the 'Scuola Fabbrica di
Arazzi Benedetto XIV" Since its re-
organization the Pontifical School has
an annual ceremony, as in old days,
when the Cardinals present take their
turn in cutting the threads of the spe-
cial work for the year completed.
Comm. Gentili leaves the school -four
ishing under the direction of his son
with good array of promising stu
dents.

THE CRIMSON EASTER.

On Good Friday Of last year
the United States was thrown into
the frightful maelstrom which
threatened to engulf a great part
of the civilized world. Easter
Sunday, morn dawned with
large portion Of the New World
arrayed in the cause of liberty.
One year has elapsed since that
eventful day. During this time
nations have become more embit-
tered, blood has flowed more pro-
fusely, and countless souls have
been hurled into eternity. And
still the struggle wakes fercer
and more fierce. The casualty
lists, slender at first, are tbecom-
ing more lengthy, and with every
addition the frightful horror OF
the whole thing is driven home
more deeply into the hearts OF all.
We are now at the dawn Of an
other Easter. Tentative offers Of
peace have been ruthlessly cast
aside; the prayers Of the Soyer-
eign Pontiff for a return to Chris
tian and civilized unity have been
disregarded; ceaseless supplica-
tions throughout the world to the
Throne of Mercy, for an end to

THE UPPER ROOM"

Last week a drama Of Christ S
Passion, entitled, *The Upper
Room" by Mgr. Benson, was pre-
sented in this city under the aus
pieces of the Church of ST. Luke.
The immense audiences that wit
messed this dramatic performance
testified Enthusiastically to the deep
impression which it made upon
them. 1t is not too much to say
that the work of the men and
women who filled the several
roles was Of an order much high
er than that Of mere amateurs.
One and all acquitted themselves
in manner to satisfy the critical
and the artistic.
The outstanding feature Of this
Passion play was the aWe-inspir-
ing dignity Of the theme, and the
solemn and reverential manner in
which the players handled their
parts. From the opening scene
to the final tableau an atmosphere
of deep reverence pervaded both
stage and audience. The atten-
ton paid to correct detail in cos
tuning and incidentals complet-
ed the illusion. The various char
#acters, from the servant-boy to
the august Mother of Christ,
seemed to grasp the full import
of the tremendous scenes they
were enacting. The drama as a
whole seemed to gain immensely
in strength and impressiveness
from the fact that the person OF
Christ was not represented
throughout the whole play.
This wonderful performance
was concrete example of what
may be accomplished in this city
by devout and reverential
treatment of such sacred themes,
The spirit of the middle ages
seems to enter here and there into

In reference to. an important
subject, the Western Waterman
says: If anything comes of the
plan to bring 100 French girls
to America for the next scholastic
year, it is to be hoped that our
Bureau Of Education will not en-
tifely ignore religious considera-
tions. The majority of them
probably will be or ought to be
Catholics; and in all honesty, the
only suitable school for a Catholic
girl or young lady is the one
where proper safeguards for her
faith will be provided. Here is
an-opportunity for the Catholic
Educational Association to exert
it's influence and at the same time
secure definite information about
the schools that may be willing
to receive these eager candidates
under the conditions provided by
the two governments.

house of commons by the Rt. Hon.
Leifchild Jones and others. John r.
Clynes, parliamentary secretary of
the food control board, in reply, said
that, having regard, among other con-
siderations, for the food situation and
opinion in America, the government,
while maintaining supply of beer
for heavy manual workers, intended
to reduce Immediately the tonnage to
be used for brewing material,
One hundred and fifty thousand
tons of barley were taken from the
brewers March l and further 200, 900
tons would be saved yearly by re-
stricting the standard and using sub
stitutes.
Mr.. Jones declared the drink bill
was too heavy burden for the coun-
try in times of war For 1914, he
said, it had totaled G164, 100000; for
1915 it had been 9182,O0O,0OO, while
for 1916 it had grown to G204, 100000.
and, despite appeals for economy, it
had in 1917 amounted to .9259,00O,000.

DRINK.

The first drink: What will it be?
A mistake. The excuse: Sociability;
good fellowship. The theory: An
occasional drink doesn't hurt a fellow
as long as he doesn't lose his head
and take another, or fall in with the
crowd and stand treat till everybody
is mushy. Pretty poor philosophy,
that. 1t has killed many a good fell
low with too much confidence in him
self.
The first drink doesn't do a man
any good. You can't argue that point
Even if it proves harmless, it never
by any chance does him bit of good.
This whole proposition has been
argued pro and con and tested out in
practice by thousands of fellows as
good as you or |, and the final verdict
is that the first drink is just a big
mistake.
Good fellowship, companionability
sociability, whatever you please to
call that spirit which draws good fell
lows together, certainly doesn't de-
pend on a drink of anything ever
served at table or over a bar. We
must be careful not to confuse the
mushiness of man in his cups, the
song and laughter and joviality that
goes with mild intoxication, with good
fellowship. Good fellows never feel
impelled to hand one another wal
lop on the eye and then apologize
next day when they have recovered
their senses. Good fellowship never
prompts a man to ridicule or sheer at
comrade who thinks more of his
health and his self-respect than he
thinks of his stomach.
If man wants a drink or thinks he
needs one, that is his business; when
it comes to your selection of drink,
that is your business. A real man will
never confess by look or word any sur
prise or disappointment when you
choose buttermilk, lemonade or water.
If you are not tWo-by-four character
yourself, you will never feel any COM
junction whatever, in any company
anywhere, in making your own I'M
censored choice of beverages.
The wise boy, these days, keeps his
head clear and brings home the bacon.
The smart Aleck peters out half way
along the road. 1t is no longer mere
question of morals, or even of health.
Efficiency makes teetotalism neces-
sary and unavoidable
What will you have?
Make it mineral water-if you are
bound to squander money on your
drink-and stay in the race.

A Fettered Request
WILL BARS CATHOLICS - CITY
REJECTS REQUEST.

A man whom his friends described
as strongly individual" died recent
ly in Pasadena, California. He had
lived there eighteen years, and re-
membered it in his villa document
that indicates narrow individuality,
indeed. The sum of twenty-five
thousand dollars was given to the city
to establish the &c. A. Nelson Old
Folks Home" on condition that no
Catholics be admitted.
The will is iron-bound, and the city
must either refuse the legacy or OBJ
serve the terms. TO it's honor, in the
eyes of all decent citizens, Pasadena,
through the chairman of the city com
mission has declared that IF the city
must accept the conditions of the will
as it stands, the only course left fol-
the commission is to refuse the be-
quest entirely"
