THE SISTER

Was there ever a game we did not
share,
Brother of mine?
Or day when did not play you fair,
Brother of mine?
AS good as a boy" you used to say,
And was as eager for the fray,
And as loath to cheat or to run away,
Brother of mine!
You are playing a game that is
straight and true.
Brother of mine,
And I'd give my soul to stand next to
you,
Brother of mine. t
The spirit, indeed, is still the same; ;
| should not shrink from the battles
flame,
Yet here stay-at the woman's game,
Brother of mine.
If the last price must needs be paid,
Brother of mine,
You will go forward, unafraid,
Brother of mine?
Death can so small a part destroy,
You will have known the fuller joy
All! would that had been born boy,
Brother of mine!

the post-mediaeval masters were also
sung.
At the morning services on Holy
Thursday, Good Friday and Holy Sat
urday at which the Right Reverend
Bishop Trobec pontifcated, the rubri-
cal chant of the Church was observed.
The Passion of Our Lord was again
rendered on Good Friday by three
seminarians assisted by the other
members of the choir
The program of music at the Cathe-
dral on Easter Sunday was the most
elaborate ever presented on a similar
occasion. Two selections, 'Ecce Sa-
cerdos Magnus," by Reyl, and "Haec
Dies" by Biederman, were sung as a
prelude to the Mass itself. The Proper
of the Mass was in Gregorian chant,
and Gounod's Choral Mass was given
as the Common. During the Offertory,
Wiegand's Terra Tresmuit," and De
Merlier's Regina Coeli,' both poly
phonic numbers were rendered. At
the conclusion of the ceremony the
official prayer of the Church for the
well-being of the Republic was sung
by the entire student body of two
hundred voices.

the most difficult to obtain of all in

it necessary for the deed of heroism

Troops which defend a position

the officer who, at the risk of his life,
saves his guns from capture, the naval
officer who, under orders, braves a

THE SCHOLA CANTORUM
AN APPRECIATION OF ITS WORK
IN CONNECTION WITH THE
HOLY WEEK SERVICES AT THE
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES MISslA
DIRECTOR.
Communicated

The Schola Cantorum, made UP of
students of the St. Paul Seminary,
and directed for the past eleven years
by the Rev. Francis A. Missia OF that
institution, rendered the musical part
of the Holy Week services at the
Cathedral Of st. Paul.
The varied character of the music
demanded by these services, ranging,
as it does, from the grief-stricken
tones of the "Improperium'' of Good
Friday to the joyful harmonies of
Easter Sunday, gave the choir and it's
talented director an. opportunity to
display their skill in the rendition of
church music.
No one, with an ear attuhed to the
solemn strains of Gregorian chant and
with a soul responsive to the devo-
tional appeal of church music, could
have attended the religious services
of Holy Week at the Cathedral with
out being impressed as never before
with the truth of the poets words:
Music, Oh how faint, how weak,
Language fades before thy spell!
Why should feeling ever. speak
When thou canst breathe her soul so
well?"
Seldom have the sentiments of the
soul toward it's Creator found more
apt expression than in those solemn
chants rendered with such artistic
power by the supplied seminarian
choir under the direction of Father
Missia.
The Schola Cantorum, too seldom
heard in public, has for several years
made a distinct impression on those
who are interested in church music,
both. because of it's finished rendition
of ecclesiastical music and because
of it's keeping to traditional lines, pre-
ferring the Gregorian chant and the
works of the sixteenth century masters
to the efforts of more modern COM
posers.
The Holy Week services at the
Cathedral showed plainly that sacred
music, as well as secular, has its
place in the hearts of the people.
The spacious edifice was filled to
overlooking at every service.
The following program was rendered
during the week: On Palm Sunday
the Proper and Common of the Mass
were given in plain chant. During
the Mass the Passion of Our Lord
was sung.
On Wednesday. Thursday and Fri
day evenings the Tenebrae was
chanted. On each evening one Lam
entation and the Canticle "Benedic-
tus' were given in Polyphonic style.

Archbishop Weber.
Archbishop Weber was born in 1916
in Bukowina, in Poland. At death he
was aged 73 years. He studied theol-
ogy in Rome, and was one of the first
students of the Polish College, under
the dictatorship of the late Father O.
Semenenki, to be ordained Arch

THE DATE OF EASTER
EARLY DIFFERENCES -APPEAL
TO ROME-SETTLED BY
COUNCIL OF NICE.

The churches of Asia Minor ap-
pealed to the example of two of the
apostles as justifying their observ-
ance of Easter on the 18th day of
Nissan. Nissan was the first month
of the civil year of the Jews, and cor
responds about to our April. Other
churches, especially those Of the
West, always celebrated the feast of
the Resurrection on the Sunday fol-
lowing the 14th of that month. A
third (hereticaD party contended for
the Celebration of Easter on the 14th
of Nissan, basing this tenet on the
false ground that the Mosaic law was
still obligatory.
To adjust these differences ST.
Polycarp visited Rome to confer with
Pope Anicetus about A. D. 100. 1t
seems no precise decision was then
rendered. About forty years after
wards Pope Victor l felt it necessary
to take stringent measures in order
to oppose Judaizing tendencies such
as those spoken of above, and con-
voked synods in Rome, Gaul, Pontus,
Palestine and other places, the re-
suit being, according to Eusebius, the
ecclesiastical historian, the declara-
ton that the feast of the Resurrec-
ton should be celebrated on Sunday
only This necessitated, of course,
the observance of different dates
every year, as did for that matter
the general observance spoken of
above. The Bishops of Asia Minor
held out against this determination
and called for the observance of the
18th according to previous custom.
The Synod Of Aries in A. D. 314
ordained that Easter should be cele-
brated on the same day everywhere.
The Council of Nice Documentary
held about ten years after the Synod
of Aries, decided that the feast
should be celebrated everywhere on
the first Sunday after the spring full
moon. The Bishop of Alexandria was
commissioned to draw up the tables
in accordance with this determine
ton A difference of calculation be-
tween Rome and Alexandria led to
a difference of the Sundays for some
time, but the Council of Nice may be
said to have settled the question.

SIERRA, FOUNDER OF CALIFORNIA.

is the Catholic Church; a system in
which genius or goodness two
greatest of human powers always
find their opportunities for service,
whether they in whom they are mani
fest are princes or paupers. And in
giving Sierra and his story to our
young nation the ancient Church has
given us one of the best examples of
vital democracy, the basic idea of
which is and ever must be, if it is to
survive, willing and joyous service.
Until Sierra came to Mexico in 1850.
California had been left unsettled by
Spain. But now the encroachments of
England and Russia in the Pacific had
aroused the King. The energetic Jose
de GalveZ, the financial expert sent
by Spain to America to revive if pos
sible, the failing trade, was the states
man responsible for the expedition
without Sierra and his Franciscan
which settled California in 1869, but
friars, and the mission system of
ciVilizing and subduing the Indians,
SPANS last effort to extend and hold
her American empire would have been
impossible. And it was Sierra and his
priests who did practically all that
was finally accomplished in California,
where the twenty-one missions, ex-
tending from San Diego in the south
to Sonoma in the north, with their
beautiful and artistic churches, their
tens of thousands of prosperous and
contented Indian converts, constituted
what is now recognized as one of the
greatest achievements of humanity.
Work of Revolution.
1T is true that the iniquity of the
Mexican secularization ruined this
marvellous achievement, and toppled
the great work down in ruins. 1t is
true that Sierra disappeared from the
scene of California, and even his body
was lost in the ruins of his favorite
church at Carmel But death ends no
life such as his: Nor can men destroy
the best, the spiritual portion, of his
labors. For today the missions are
one of the greatest assets of Cali
fornian civilization, of American
civilization, and Sierra, the humble
priest, is national hero. And it is
a significant fact, one of which Catho-
lies may we'll be proud, that Serra's
present fame is due less, far less, to
the appreciation of his fellow religion
lists, as such, than to the broad de-
velopment of modern Californian
civilization and patriotism, outside the
lines of class and creed.
Sierra is the special admiration of
those who admire the pioneers,
Serra's greatness in American history
transcends his high place in the
annals of the Church, or, rather, it
compliments it. More and more does
California see in Sierra the true type
of manhood, of civilized, democratic
manhood. In his intellectual power
and attainments, he was as eminent
as he was for high sanctity; and his
intellect was to him only one more
instrument for performing the work
of God. Perhaps the Church has
given to America no truer example
of it's best men than Sierra; and
through Sierra and his fellow friars
California shows what great gifts
Catholicism bestows upon our Ameri-
can civilization"

HIS INFLUENCE ON THE cIviLlzA.
TON OF THAT sTATE-BEsT
SPANISH QUALITIES WE'RE PRE-
SERVED--GREAT WORK TOP
PIED OVER BY REVOLUTIONS
ARIES.

The influence which Father Juni-
pero Sierra exerted on the civiliza-
ton of California was described at
Delmonico's, New York, the other
evening by Michael Williams of San
Francisco in an address on catholic
California" before the United States
Catholic Historical Society. He de-
scribed Father Sierra as the true
founder of California.
This little cross, made of oak
wood, which | hold in my hand,
comes from the tree under which a
Carmelite friar said Mass when Viz
caino's expedition landed at Monterey
Bay in 1902" said Mr.. Williams. I'm
der the same tree, the remains of
which are still preserved at Monterey,
Father Junipero Sierra took possession
of California in the name of the King
of Spain in 1910.
'But it was even earlier than 1902
that the history of California began;
it was in 1912, when Cabrillo sailed
into what, is now San Diego Bay.
This was some fifty years before
Raleigh reached Virginia; nearly a
century before the Pilgrim Fathers
stepped upon Plymouth Rock, and
long before the French settled AGA
dia or Quebec, or the Dutch pene-
trated into Pennsylvania. And from
the beginning the history of Cali
fornia, which has been such a great
factor in the history of the United
States, has been splendid romance,
a high pageant of adventure and
heroism in which even more than the
sword, the cross has been the symbol.
Serra's IdeaIism.
''Idealism is the quality which most
typically distinguishes the national
character of our country, and in fur
nishing those starry legends and stir
ring stories of the true quests of
ideal interests which nourish the soul
of a people, no State in the family of
the States is more opulent and inspir-
ing than Catholic California.
For in California the best qualities
of the Spanish conquest of America
from the beginning down through all
the colored years of it's western en-
pire-predominated over it's baser
passions. The avarice and tyranny
which too often marked the work of
Spain in Mexico, South America and
the West Indies, evils against which
heroic priests like Las Casas, that true
apostle of human, liberty, labored SO
valiantly, were comparatively absent
from California, the history of which,
so far as Spain is concerned, is mainly
a history not of the sword but of the
cross, history of the wonderful works,
great deeds and soul-sweetening lives
of the Spanish missionaries, of whom
the great hero is, of course, Father
Junipero Sierra, the true founder of
California, the first president of the
famous missions.
"A true son of the people, Junipero
Sierra is a great example of that
truest of all democratic systems which
