At the last meeting of The Acade-
mia, at st. Johns Seminary, Boston,
Mass, Mr.. Charles MacGuiness read
an essay on Monseigneur Theotime
Verhaeghen, one of the Church's many
martyrs in the search for souls among
the Chinese. The essayist said:
Joseph Verhaeghen was born in
Malines, Belgium, on the 18th of Jan
uary, 1867. AS a boy he attended the
school of the Marico1e Sisters, and
later the Institute of the Brothers of
Mercy. Sent to the episcopal college
of st. Rombout, he stood out among
his fellows for his brilliancy, his even
temper and his piety.
After his third year at the college
he applied to the Provincial of the
Friars Minor at Malines for admit
tance into the order, expressing his
desire to go later as a missionary to
China. On the 26th of September,
1883, he entered the novitiate at
Thielt. A few days later he received
with the Franciscan habit the sig
nificant name: Theotime, the honor
| of God. After his profession, he
studied philosophy at the convent of
Gand. From Gand he was sent to
st. Trond, to make his theological
studies. Finally on the 22nd of March,
| 1890, he was ordained a priest by
the Bishop of Liege.

After his ordination, Father Theo

CATHOLIC CHURCH EVER THE
GUARDIAN OF MoRALs-TRE-
MENDoUs INCREASE OF EVIL
IN AMERICAN HoMEs-sTART-
LING CENSUS FIGURES.

In an address before the recent
convention of Federated Catholic So
cieties of America, Mr.. Quinn O'Brien,
a distinguished Chicago attorney,
said in part:
trough the ages, the Catholic
Church has been the great teacher and
gt1: rdian of morals, the matchless
champion of the purity and perma-
nenee of the family and the marriage
state. She found woman in the
depths of degradation, a beast of bur-
den, and victim of passion. She
lifted her to the feet of the Virgin
Mother, and wove about her rosary
of chastity and charms that sanctified
and safeguarded her from insult and
assault, through the centuries. She
found marriage a polygamous partner
ship. She purified it, and consecrated
+ it as a sacrament, and halloWed the
home, by declaring husband and wife
to be "one and inseparable, now and
forever" The grand old Church,
through all the storms of twenty
centuries, and against the threats and
passions Of princes and kings, from
Lothair to Henry VIII, and from En-
peror Henry " to Napoleon the
Great, refused to abate one iot OF
tithe of Christ's command to keep in
violate the marriage vow. If she rem
dered no other service to humanity
if she contributed nothing else tc
civilization, in this she would still
tower triumphantly above all human
institutions.
An Urgent Task.
What nobler task, what more urgen
reform can this great Federation Sc
itself to, than the elimination from
American homes and society Of th'
dry rot Of divorce? SO prevalent i

countries, that It has been called tn
