Let the reader imagine himself,
about dusk, motoring rapidly through
the frightening shadows of a primeval
Minnesota forest, on his way to st.
Johns Abbey and University, near
Collegeville, Mimi. A turn in the
road and there looms on his right a
huge embattled water tower of me-
diaeval appearance and a capacity of
1900 barrels, and on his left modern
observatory with revolving dome and
equipped with all the latest appliances
of science. Like silent sentinels these
structures stand guard over the la
bors of the famed Monks of the West
in modern Minnesota, where a colony
of the Order of ST. Benedict, founded
in the sixth century, have made 'the
desert bloom like the rose" A mo-
ment later on reaching the crest of
slight eminence, scene of enchant-
ment unfolds itself to the eye of the
astonished beholder. In the center of
broad campus, from the peak of a
tall flagstaff, the Stars and Stripes
float majestically, kissed into radiant
beauty by the last rays of the setting
sun. In the background appears a
massive pile of brick buildings, four
and five stories high, quadrilateral in
shape, with a large courtyard in the
center, ffanked on the right by an i'm
posing church with two cross-crowned
spires piercing the blue sky and

THE CAMPBELL WILL
JESUIT COLLEGE FINALLY GETS
FAMOUS REQUEST.

In the circuit court at st. Louis on
October 18 was heard what will no
doubt prove to be the last echo Of the
clamor which was first started sever
al years ago in an effort to break the
will of the late James Campbell, by
which his estate valued at $16,000,000
was ultimately bequeathed to st. Lou
is University, Jesuit school.
Various parties have appeared as
plaintiffs in different suits to break
the will. In one of these cases, closed
some time ago, the controversy was
decided on its merits, the issues both
of fact and of law being fully adjudi-
Gated in favor of the legatees under
the will.
In the case called for hearing last
Friday the contest was finally laid to
rest. Plaintiffs failed to appear, and
on the record of the former case
Judge Geresche held that the whole
matter was res judicata," and judg-
ment was entered in favor Of the de-
PENDANTS, who are the widow and
daughter of Mr.. Campbell, the Mer-
camille Trust Company, executor and
trustee under the will, and St. Louis
University, residuary legatee of the
entire estate,

as they lived, full of imperfections,
but free from grave defects and sins.
Their time of probation is over; they
rely upon the mercy of God and the
charity Of their friends. That is the
reason why we pray for them; we ask
God by our prayers to extend to
them the merits of the redemption of
Christ. No one can save us except
the Lord, and He will not force His
redemption upon us: we must CO.
operate with Him. To that extent, it
may be said that man saves him
self. But we may assist him to CO.
operate with Christ while the friend
is living; after he is dead, we may
still pray for him. If we may pray,
we may perform for him any act of
religion, and the greatest act of re-
ligion is the sacrifice of the Mass.

Kosciusko's Anniversary

The statue of Thaddeus Kosciusko,
the Polish patriot and American revo-
lutionary general, was decorated in
Washington, d. c., with laurel
wreaths on October Is, the anniyer-
sary Of his death.
He constructed the Notifications at
West Point. He trained patriot sol
diers. He was trusted and loved by
Washington, and rendered distin-
guished service to the American
cause.
In his will, of which Thomas Jeffer-
son was administrator, he bequeathed
all his American possessions, includ-
ing a grant of money and land by
congress. as well as his pay as an
officer, to be expended III the pur-
chase liberation and education OF
negro slaves in the United States. His
love of liberty extended even to the
poor blacks.

ly impressed with the magnitude and
completeness of the establishment.
An entire day might be spent in
viewing the many objects of interest.
The church is fine specimen of Ro-
man architecture, designed by one Of
the Fathers, and embellished with rich
paintings and frescoes and series of
magnificent stained glass windows
illustrating typical scenes from the
Old Testament and their fulfillment in
the New Testament. A $4,000 pipe or
gan occupies a place in the organ loft,
while another one of equal value but
sweeter stops is placed in the sane
tuary where chorus choir Of cowled
monks combines to render the rugged
old Gregorian chants with a precision,
virilfty, and volume of tone seldom, if
ever, heard in some of our finest city
churches. The writer was shown
beautiful Illuminated volume of ac-
compartments to the chant represent
ing the unremitting labor of one Of
the Fathers for an entire year. A few
years ago $4,000, was expended in
redecorating the church including a
massive baldachino over the high
altar which appears like mountain
of solid gold
On the fourth floor of the main
building is located a large exhibition
hall and theater equipped with drop
curtains, scenery, and all the acces-
series of modern stagecraft painted
by the Fathers or lay Brothers under
the guidance of their friend, the afore-
mentioned artist of the Twin City
Scenic Company. The library con-
tains many thousand volumes, among
them some rare old illuminated manu-
scripts of the fourteenth century and
ancient printed books bound in pig
skin which seem, destined to defy the
ravages of time. The paper and ink
used in these old volumes is at once
the admiration and the envy of Twin
City printers who have inspected
them, and who declare that it is hard
to find materials that will last CEN
fury nowadays. Another curiosity is
water-stained volume which lay at
the bottom of the North Sea in the
hold of the Inflated Elbe for many
months till recovered by the postal
authorities and forwarded to it's owner
at st. Johns. The museum contains
many interesting Indian curiosities
collected by the Fathers in their mis-
sionary work, such as the ancient
telescope once owned by Sitting Bull.

Out of seventeen Benedictine Alb

is the only one that can boast a lake
of some five hundred acres within its
boundaries. With fine gymnasium,
bowling alleys, billiard halls, tennis

Able FELIX KLEIN
DISTINGUISHED FRENCH PRIEST
NOW IN AMERICA, TENDED TO
OUR WOUNDED AT CHATEAU
.THlERRY - PRAYER BOOKS.
. SMOKES.

-t s-s
One moral of this story is that
there are some circumstances under
which prayers for the sick and the
dying" may not be quite apropos. 1t
is5tOld by Able Felix Klein, Red Cross
chaplain, who has been at the Ameri-
can hospital at Neuilly, France, since
the outbreak Of the war and who is
now in America with the Bishop of
Arras.
The Able Klein reports having seen
American boys coming in from the
battle of Chateau Thierry severely
wounded, yet splendidly cheerful. He
has made the rounds of the wards of
the hospital at Neuilly, after the
wounded had been placed in their
cots, and he has found the dough
boys" swapping stories of their ex-
periences under fire while it was evi-
dent that their wounds were of the
most painful character. He recalls
one instance of a boy, a U. S. Ma
rine, whose hands had been blasted
off by grenade, but who smilingly
saluted the nurse when she came to
bind up the red wrists.
& The uniform bravery of the men is
Illustrated by the fact that during
Able Klein's experience of several
months attending American troops he
has never yet heard complaint from
any one of them.
E When you ask them how they are
getting on said Able Klein, their
reply is always fine and they stick to
this description of their progress I'M
til they recover or succunb."
The humor of the boys can be sam
pied from an anecdote told by Able
Klein of a U. S. Marine, red-haired
and with a healthy brogue, who ac-
cepted q prayer, book and handful
of cigarettes from Knights of Co
lunbus secretary. He sat UP on his
cot, putting away on the cigaret, and
CHANGING through the prayer book
while the secretary went down the
aisle distributing similar physical and
spiritual comfort to the other boys.
Suddenly the U. S. Marine, with an
Irish brogue called the X. of C. secre-
tary to his side.
These K. G, .cigarets are fine.' he
| said, but the only pages the other
guys have left in the prayer book are
full of prayers for. the sick and dying,

Epidemic In Former Ages

furthermore provided that any vii
lage or hamlet, stricken by the
scourge, was to be isolated, after a
physician and a priest had been as
signed to duty within it's awlls.
Fires, built in public places, were
used in some countries at an early
date to combat epidemics. Aromatic
herbs were burnt in small fires in the
houses; deodorants, including spe-
cially prepared fumigating candles or
pastils, were used, and vinegar was
utilized as sterilizer. Its value is
still appreciated. though it cannot
compare with our modern disinfect-,
ants. In the Episcopal city of May
ence, druing the epidemic of 1867
1868, the bed straw used in houses
visited by the plague was ordered
burned. A quarantine of six weeks
was prescribed and enforced on all
inmates of dwellings, thus afflicted
and the quarantine was not lifted for
six weeks and not before the house
had been fumigated. The prepare
ton to be used for this purpose had
to be purchased from the public
apothecaries.
Marriage and Burial.
In the latter city public burials
and marriages we're forbidden during
the epidemic, and even religious pro-
cessions were placed under the ban.
Thus a procession planned by the
pastor of the Cathedral of the city and
the usual Pentecostal procession were
prohibited. An exception seems to
have been made in regard to two
meetings only, one being the occasion
of q solemn vow of the citizens, and
the other the laying of the corner
stone of the chapel of st. Sebastian.
From all Of this it may readily be
seen that certain effective measures
| of precautiOn and cure during cpl
denies were well known and practiced
! by people in Catholic cities and coun-
tries at an early age. To pretend
that the knowledge of these means
is altogether modern or that formerly
people submitted passfvely with a, sort
of religious fatalism to such vista
lions is unjust and unscientific.
