DIOCESE OF ST. CLOUD

st. Cloud: The annual priests con-
ference was held at the st. Cloud In
stitute Tuesday, October %. The Rev.
erends Augustine Brockmeyer, Lam
bert j. Haupt and Very Rev. George
Rauch read papers at the forenoon ses-
sion. The afternoon was given over
to the discussion of ways and means
of conducting the welfare campaign in
the diocese. Rev. H. F. Zoeller is in
charge of this campaign.
The st. Cloud Institute has proved
to be a God-send in the present cpl
demic, which has hit st. Cloud unusu-
ally hard. Right Rev. Bishop Busch
at once offered the Institute to the
city authorities with suggestions that
it be converted into an emergency hos
pital. The offer was gratefully accept
ed, and during the first twenty-four
hours seventy-fve patients had been
brought in from all parts of the city.
Now the number has grown to about
100, and the work of caring for the
stricken people has been we'll sys-
tematized under the direction of the
Sisters Of st. Raphael's Hospital and
Of the Rev. D. O'Driscoll, manager of
the st. Cloud Institute. The Benedic-
tine Sisters Of the different parishes in
the city, together with some Sisters
from country missions have offered
their services and are nursing the sick.

In THE UKRAINE
RELIGIOUS OUTLOOK is PROMIS.
UNSATISFACTORY FOR CON-
VERTS.

The new conditions under which re-
ligious work is conducted in the
Ukraine have been of much advantage
to the Catholics. Father Zegelskyi
vicar general of Kieff, recently drew
up report on the Catholic outlook
there, and in it he describes the at
titude of the people as most promis-
ing. A chapel in the Catholic
Church at Kieff was given up to con-
verts, but it was soon found to be too
small. Then barrack built on a site
given by the city was used by them
for devotional purposes. That also
does not afford sufficient accommoda-
ton, and new church is now in pro
cess of construction for the Uniates.
Father Zegelskyi says so many
schismatics are seeking reunion with
Rome that he is exhausted, owing to
the amount of work, he has had to
perform in consequence. Fourteen
innate priests are at work in Kieff,
and religious services take place in
the barrack and the two Latin
churches. The attendance is very
numerous. Catechetical classes for
the instruction of converts are held
in the Catholic schools, and the de-
mands of the teachers are heavy.

He is all that you could ask! The

"Your boy is living a clean life in
France. Do not let any man deceive
you with rumors to the contrary. The
American troops in our home canton
ments are cleaner physically and NOR

marshaled into the service. And the
troops in France are cleaner than
those in the cantonments-the clean

has ever seen. Step by step General
Pershing has pushed back the liquor

in the American army-the easier, not
the harder, path to travel for your

Reverence Old Monasteries
AMERICAN SOLDIERS TREAT
FAMOUS EDIFIcES REVERENT-
LY AND RESENT DESTRUCTION.

In France many of the old monas-
teries are being used not only for
shelters and canteens for the Amer
lean troops, but also by the knights
of Columbus, Red Cross, Y. M. c. A.,
Salvation Army and other organiza-
lions for their work. Some of them
have been transformed into hospitals
1t is characteristic of the American
spirit and training that these relig-
ious buildings are treated with the
greatest respect and that everything
possible is done to preserve them
from violation. Nothing arouses the
anger of American soldiers to a great
er degree than the frequent deliber-
ate attempts of the enemy airmen to
destroy these monasteries and their
contents.
In Americas Answer" the new U.
S. official picture, several of these
old monastic buildings are seen in
the perspective, making a most inter
esting background for the American
troops.

breaking out of the cholera, the devo-
ton of the scapular had been diffused.
In the summer of 1866 the cholera
was making frightful ravages among
the poor in County Wexford, Ireland,
and deaths were so frequent that the
most courageous were terrified. A
person who had just returned from
Belgium, where the cholera had also
been very prevalent, recommended the
wearing of the scapular of the Sacred
Heart, relating, at the same time, that
this frightful epidemic had ceased in
that country as soon as the scapulars
were distributed and worn The adj
vice was followed, and with the same
miraculous results; for, thanks to
Gods goodness, from that time scarce
ly a death occurred The poor were
inspired with renewed confidence in
the beautiful and efficacious devotion
to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and I'M
told good was effected in, very short
time.

My own sweet prayer, my own sweet
beads,
l fondle them with joy;
My own quiet time to talk to God
When nothing can annoy;
l hear the brooklet run without, I
1t seems like dream far off:
l hear the changing trucks go by,
Which fain my prayer would scott;
And still l roll my beads between
My fingers to caress,
All mindful of the things above,
They soothe me and they bless.
In spite of all the garrish sounds
l breathe my AYES clear,
count the decades fervently
And feel 1 draw full near
To Him Who gave His life for all,
To Him Who suffered for our fall.
From Eden's gate to Calvary
1t seems long sad way,
From earth to heaven our pleading
goes,
So thus l kneel and pray:
My own sweet beads, my humble
prayer,
BY earnest voice is told,
/ kiss with all a child's pure heart,
The tiny cross hold. ti.

YOUR BOY OVER THERE
JOHN r. MOTT GIVES INTIMATE
GLIMPSE. OF CARE BESTOWED
UPON OUR SOLDIERS ABROAD.

John r. Mott, chairman of the big
welfare campaign drive, visited the
trenches over there recently and spent
twenty-four hours with his boy, and
he got chummy with all the lads in
his boys camp.
when was back in America again,
wrote to the parents of every soldier
in my boys squad. And one night, a
few days later, was summoned from
an important conference because
there was a man outside, they said,
who insisted on seeing me. They had
tried to put him off, but he would not
be denied, and when they told me his
name I understood why. I had seen
his boy in France!
81 found him waiting in the hall, a
ragged Irishman whose work had kept
him through the day, so that he had
to come at night. He had put on his
Sunday clothes, his hair was slicked
down, and he stood there bit awk-
wardly, self-consciously uncertain how
to begin.
I'm glad you've come, said to
him; Il want to tell you about your
boy
'The knotted hands stretched out
instinctively in little gesture of ap-
peal. His eyes flooded; his voice strug-
gled with the great lump in his throat
and won through hoarsely: How did
he look?' he cried. How did he look 2
HE told me that he had three sons
in the war, and that he wished he had
more over there. And I thought as we
talked together: Here is American
fatherhood personifed. In two million
homes at this hour of the evening two
million men stand, their work worn
hands clutched tight, their hearts
reaching out to those boys beyond the
seas, or soon to go beyond And in
every heart the same question: How
does he look?' rs he well?' is he
happy?' rs he safer Does he want

COMMUNION OF SAINTS

suredly, is taken from the supreme
worship due to the Almighty God:
rather, it is an ungracious and unwar-
ranted shortening of that supreme
worship, to refuse the honor of love
and reverence to those whom God is
delighted to honor, in whom glows
respondent the reflex of His power
and mercy.
By Professionalism the Saints were
hidden to depart from the life of
Christendom. Their shrines were pill
LACED; their relics cast to the winds;
their images forbidden in homes ana
other public places; their names con-
demned to oblivion. Poor at once was
the world of Professionalism in solaces
and comforts of the supernatural life.
To those who comprehend the teach
ings of the Catholic Church with re-
gard to "The Communion of the
Saints" and in mind and heart con-
form with it, there come sweetest JOY
BUSINESS and most precious inspira-
ton.
We are made to live in society--to
be naturally helpful to one another
and in receiving. Solitariness is I'M
bearable. 1t is written: "Woe to him
that is alone; for when he falleth, he
hath none to pick him up" In the
natural order God created us one for
the other; we are one to the other
Intermediates of His gifts. Why
were it different in the supernatural
order? Why, there, where lie our
dearest interests, where the best of
our being finds its highest complement,
should separateness be decreed, inter
communion of love and service for
hidden?
Happily the truth remains: denials
of men are powerless against the
teachings of the Church of Christ.
"The Communion of the Saints" re-
mains. Death snatches from us our
loved ones. Affrighted, we cry out:
Shall we not again know them, not
again be known by them? Across the
grave that hides their mortal remains,
arises the voice of Christian faith:
Death has not ravished them from
you: only from bodily vision have
they gone: their closeness, now the
exclusive closeness of soul to soul, is
Intimate as never before. Through
Gods gracious love, souls on earth
live amid souls in Heaven, amid souls
in Purgatory; souls in Heaven help
us by their prayers; souls in Purga-
tory are helped by ours. The gloom
of the grave vanishes: Death is
swallowed up in victory: o death,
where is thy victory? o death, where
is thy sting?"
(To be continued.)

will every inhabitant on our shores
exhibit in his heart and bearing in
making personal privations to assist
our soldiers and sailors.
Unity of action is imperative. Lack
of harmony would tend to Illustrate
our best efforts. Disunion begets
division and division death. Organ
ization constitutes the necessary
steps to success. Without organiza-
ton no order reigns and without
order no unanimity of action exists.
The absence of due order causes
failure. No times are these for de-
grading narrowness, despicable
social prejudice and dire religious
bigotry, which disturb citizenship and
injure the cause of the Republic.
While our cherished boys are sacri-
ficing their lives for American honor
and American liberty, while they are
courageously bearing shot and shell
on foreign battlefield and facing
the inevitable horrors of war for. the
glorious triumph of American arms,
citizens at home will not ungratefully
refuse to at least donate to the best
of their ability towards their physical,
moral and spiritual welfare. The
knowledge of the great sacrifices of
our boys in the army and navy should
make us responsive to their needs
and incite our deepest sympathy in
their behalf. objectionable failure
would it be not to do our utmost and
thus impede their dash to glorious
victory and cause the darkest blot
on our traditional American valor
and ever-prized intense patriotism.
The triumphal, certain and glorious
march to renowned victory has al
ready auspiciously begun. Every sin
cere American, therefore, should en-
ter the grand and inspiring process
sion by contributing unsparingly to
the cause of the worlds freedom and
blessed enduring peace. Strongly
are we bound before the Eternal God
Of nations to render to our country
our love and our service. Render,
therefore, to Caesar the things that
are Caesars and to God the things
that are Gods"
Imploring God to shower His choic-
est blessings upon you all, am
Yours most sincerely in Christ,

Our beloved nation, view the ad-
vice of our most worthy President,
gladly agrees to unite in one COM
mon and harmonious drive, COM
mencing November II, to procure
urgent funds for the seven recog-
nized and beneficent war agencies,
which will be given each due proper
ton from the amount derived there
from. Relief workers from these or
CARNATIONS promote effectively the
desired welfare of our soldiers at
home and abroad The healthy, the
sick, the wounded and the dying re-
ceive all possible care in established
alton and excellent social activities
protect from dangers natural to war
and console our soldiers boys, who
are away from salutary and endear-
| ing home environments. Our Cath
olic boys, moreover, possess the in
estimable advantage of obtaining the
benefits of their holy religion from
the hands of Jealous and sympathetic
chaplains, who stand ever ready to
administer to our soldiers at home
and across the seas. Catholics,
anxious for the spiritual welfare of
| Catholic boys should, therefore, par
ticipate the more intellectually in
this important and praiseworthy
campaign.
| Most deplorable and blameworthy
failure would stigmatize the most
valuable work of the war agencies,
should citizens remain Indifferent to
the necessary financial assistance.
The November drive constitutes the
only means of obtaining the abso-
lutte support for the very existence
of these grand war organizations.
Americans must consequently respond
with their usual liberality to aid this
splendid welfare work for the mill
tary forces of the United States and
1.-THE Allies, who request help for their
soldiers.
Numerous, indeed, are the recent
demands for various charities, but
in consideration of the manifold hard
ships our soldiers are enduring and
the imminent perils to which they are
exposed in waging battle in behalf of
suffering mankind amidst trying hor-
rors and against fierce atrocities,
complaints should certainly have no
place on the lips of genuine Amer
leans.
Every upright citizen will CRATE
fully drop his largest sum possible
into the American war chest for the
comfort of our fighting soldiers
Sacrifices must be undergone, to the
very limit of our resources, in order
to accomplish our rightful, honest
and honorable duty. Stern bravery

FURTHER CONSIDERATION FROM
WORK ON THIS sUBJEcT-lN-
PRODUCTION BY LATE ARCH
BISHOP IRELAND.
Continued from last week.

What, again, "The Communion OF
the Saints?" 1t is the generation OF
the Saints-the gift of honor to the
celestial beauty Respondent in them
to the graces by which they are en-
riched in reward of sublime virtues
put into practice, of noble deeds done
in the service of the Sovereign Mas
ter.
Again, misrepresentation and cal
jimmy. The generation of the Saints
it was asserted, is a derogation in
favor of the creature from the supreme
worship due to the Creator-a sacri
legious reaction from the monotheism
of true religion to the polytheism OF
pre-Christian paganism.
God alone is Creator and Sovereign
Master: to Him alone is given such
alteration and worship, as would i'm.
ply in its object supreme sovereignty
So far as the terms, alteration and
worship, have come to mean the recog.
milton of supreme sovereignty, adora.
ton and worship ascend only to God
To think or to act otherwise, were, in
deed, idolatry, the reaction from
Christian truth to pagan polytheism.
But how far from this perverseness
must we not account the veneration
of the Saints, as it is believed and
acted upon in the Catholic Church
In the Catholic Church the veneration
of the Saints is nought else than the
recognition of the sparklings of di-
vine truth and goodness that consti-
tute inthood-sparklings from the
eternal Fount of all truth and all good
ness, the eternal and Almighty God
-sparklings to be admired and re-
vered as proceeding from God and
imaging in the Saints Gods own in
finite essence. In it's immediate OBJ
ject honor paid to the Saints is partial
and secondary: in ultimate analysis
it's object is God Himself Whom we
honor, when, for His sake, we honor
His servants and benefciaries. The
most exalted of the Saints, the Virgin
Mary, receives veneration only because
of the choice made of her to be the
Mother of the Incarnate, and of the
copious graces following upon this
choice: For behold, all generations
shall call me blessed, because He that
is mighty hath done great things to
me, and holy is His name" By the
generation of the Saints, nothing, as
