THE REIGN OF THE HEART OF
JESUS.

The Holy Father, Pope Benedict
XIV, has recommended the follow
ing general intention for the
month of June to the League Of
the Sacred Heart: "The Reign of
the Heart Of Jesus in Families and
in Society,"
The nature of Christ's doctrine
was such that it made it's widest
appeal to humanity at large. In
tellectual societies, strictly So
called, had drawn their votaries
from the ranks of the learned.
Religions Of the people, on the
other hand, had found their field
chiefly amongst what is called the
working classes. Christ, however,
was God, and He directed His mes
sage to all mankind. So ardent
and purifying were His teachings,
that lie compares them to an all
consuming fire: L am come to
east fire upon the earth, and what
would / but that it should be en-
kindled.
The reign of Jesus Christ in
society has been the object Of the
missionary effort in the Catholic
Church from the day of Pentecost,
when the Apostles went forth to
preach Christ crucified. 1t was
but natural that a world given
over to the pleasures of life and to
pride of intellect should resent a
doctrine that struck at their very
existence. Society, founded upon
human standards, was doomed to
the eXcesses of human frailty.
Since man had drifted far from
God, mans standard Of morals
was bound to be at variance with
the will Of God. Christ determin-
ed, therefore, to appeal not only to
the individual conscience but to
society at large. The social unit
was to be guided in its religion no
less than the single soul. At the
same time, the Redeemer refrain
ed from encroaching upon the do
main of free will. Man was to be
left the arbiter Of his own destiny,
with the choice Of divine help to
keep him in the paths of God,
Whenever the practice Of Chris
tianity ceased to attract man in
the field of morality and religion
"a reversal was introduced from
the true faith to paganism, for pa
ganism is man IS natural state
when left without the grace of
God. 1t is, therefore, to urge a
return Of all peoples to obedience
to divine authority that the Holy
Father prays> for the reign of
Jesus Christ in society and in all
families.
The Catholic bulletin. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1911-1995, 1918-06-01

the new regime. On the other side
Vladimir of Kieve supported it with a
large following.
The revolutionary government de.
posed the Metropolitans of Petrograd
and Moscow, suppressed the Holy
Synod and its procurer, and set up a
new council. However, general in
difference was shown to what was
passing in the Church, and the Church
itself showed very weakly as inactive
and poWerless. The coming of the
Maximali regime, the confiscation of
the goods of the Church and the vio-
lence committed against monasteries,
and the general disorders caused a
rally and united the clergy in an
unanimous protest
Finding herself obliged to form a
separate entity from the state and
arrange financial resources, the Rus
sian schism lacks breath and energy.
She is losing numerically and the
Catholic Church is gaining, for con-
versions hitherto attended with dire
penalties are now freely permitted.
Finding no strength in herself, she
may yet seek it elsewhere, and the
new Congregation of Oriental Rites
founded by the present Holy Father
may prove very far-sighted founda-
ton.

THE NEW CHURCH FLAG
CHURCH FLAG ONLY EMBLEM
THAT MAY BE PLACED ABOVE
THE STARS AND STRIPES.

A new flag to be used during relig-
has been authorized by the govern
ment. The flag has been selected by a
commission representing the govern
ment, the Catholic Hierarchy and the
Protestant church authorities, and is
the first official emblem of it's kind.
1t is the only flag that legally may be
placed above the. American flag dur
ing religious services in church, on
ship board, at cantonment or army
post. 1t is stated that a flag provided
at the time may be retained after the
war and used as a flag of worship and
service wherever it is deemed appro-
pirate by the churches.
The flag in question is triangular
white pennant with blue Latin cross
placed horizontally in the center. A
good size for outdoor use is three
feet by eight feet six inches long.
The pennant is three times as long as
it is wide. The long bar of the cross
is the same as the width of the pen
nant and the short bar one-half the
length of the long one.
The other form of the flag is a blue
Latin cross on a white rectangular
ground, the latter being one and half
times as long as it is wide. The pro-
portions for the cross are the same as
those first given. Both flags may be
used for draping within the church, but
only the pennant should be flown from
a vertical pole.

PARANoIA.

In the life of Daniel O'Connell
there is an amusing incident. We
are told that one day the great
Irish Emancipation, walking down
the street, encountered fish
woman. Playing upon her ignor-
ance. he hurled at her such math-
ematical terms as parallelogram,
isosceles, hypothenuse and para
bola. Infatuated at what she con-
sidered injurious epithets, the
fish-woman launched into a typi-
cal TRADE against O'Connell, to
the amusement of the bystanders.
Modern medical science has
found a term for a kind of emo
tional insanity. 1t is called par
anoia. Without entering into the
merits, good or bad, of this af-
lection, it may be said that para
noia has worked considerable
harm in the modern field of NOR
atty by misleading ignorant read
erS.
In a case which has attracted
nationwide attention recently, we
are told that the offending female,
a murdereSs, was paranoiac. To
add to the complete subversion of
her moral life, this creature tells
how she followed an Individual
code of morals. The public on
reading this fiimsy statement,
manifested surprise and, to some
extent, a mild admiration. The
miserable subterfuge was a ruse
as old as the world: for every
criminal, every sinner, has his own
private code of morals.
1t is perfectly proper to possess
a private code Of morals provided
that it does not go counter to the
accepted code Of reason and relig-
ion. The sentimentality embodied
in such terms as affinity and soul
mate is of the kind that defies the
conventions, faunts morality, and
tears the Ten Commandments to
shreds. A maudlin SenSuality that
prompts such a pretext for open
and fragrant immortality is the
same brand, bears the same trade
mark as that which made Sodom
and Gomorrha a byWord among
the nations. Given lax ideals on
the marital obligations, and an
Over-sensualized male or female

Cities Of the Plains is represented

BISHOP ON TRIAL
PRELATE AT sALBENGA, ITALY,
ACCUSED OF DISLoYALTY, BUT
COMPLETELY INDICATED.

How many of the critics of Bene-
dict XIV might take lesson from the
words spoken one day last week by
Mgr. Cambasio, Bishop of Albenga,
when on his trial in the court of Fin
alborgo charged with having unduly
spoken of peace in his Lenten pastor
al to his diocese. At the close of the
evidence the Crown Prosecutor ended
his harangue by demanding SEN
tence of two years and four months
in prison and fine of 1900 francs.
On the courteous. invitation of the
President of the Court to make a
statement, the good and patriotic
Bishop spoke as follows:
Il invoke justice. If / am guilty let
the tribunal of the court condemn me.
| prefer condemnation, if | feel myself
innocent, to an acquittal if knew my
self guilty.
II fulfilled my duty as soldier
and as a patriot. insist that my pas

life, was guided only by moral and

servant of God, for our Italy | am
ready to die. l am not ashamed of
having appeared before the tribunal.
Our Divine Saviour appeared before it
one day. suffered only at the thought
of appearing to some as an unworthy
Italian. Now / await my fate with
serenity"
The President pronounced a sen
tence of acquittal, and the Bishop, ac-
companied by applauding priests and
the faithful. left the court.

A gray haired negro on trial in
New York for bigamy appealed
for clemency because King Solo
mon and Nat Goodwin had more
wives than he. The court declar-
ed its want of jurisdiction in the
case of Solomon, and excused Nat
on the ground that he had only
one wife at a time. While the
Judge had the law on his side, the
old negro had the better of it in
morals. The lax divorce laws, the
perjury and collision which gen
orally accompany them, make
many of our marriages essentially
polygamous.

PERSONAL LIBERTY.

We hear the liquor element crying
out, Eve want personal liberty"
During the French Revolution one of
the victims being led forth to the
guillotine cried out, ooh, Liberty,
what crimes are being committed in
thy name" We might say today,
"Oh, Personal Liberty, what crimes
are being committed in thy name"
What does the liquor traffic want per-
sonal liberty for? At very low esti-
mate it destroys $4,000 lives in our
country each year. That means
100000 people in "a mans lifetime of
seventy years, and they want per-
sonal liberty to continue this frightful
slaughter. The liquor traffic fills our
Jails, penitentiaries, poorhouses, and
insane asylums, and wants personal
liberty to continue this nefarious
work. 1t takes from the people over
$4,000, 100000 year and wants per-
sonal liberty to keep on taking it.
Personal liberty should end when it
becomes a menace to the community.
The liquor traffic long ago became a
menace to the community and it
should have no further personal
liberty to destroy the people. The
murderer wants personal liberty; the
thief, thug, wife beaten, and criminal
of every kind wants personal liberty;
the anarchist wants personal liberty,
but the more personal liberty those
kind of fellows have the less safety
everybody else will have.
Without the liquor traffic hundreds
of thousands of those confined in vari-
Gus institutions would have the per-
sonal liberty of caring for themselves
and not be public charges. Abolishing
the liquor traffic will add to the health,
wealth, peace, and comfort of the
people. Depriying small part of the
population of the personal liberty of
promoting public nuisance will aug
ment immensely the liberty of all the
people. 1t adds to the goodness and
greatness of our country.

That the parishes are slow in max
ing the returns asked of them as to
the number of men in the armed serv
ices was the report made to the COM
mittee on special activities of the Ma
tional Catholic War Council, at it's
recent meeting in Washington. Mgr.
Fl. T. Drumgoole, ID. D., LII. D., chair
man of the committee charged with
the collection of historical materials,
feels that the comparatively small
number of answers to the request for
these particulars is largely due to a
desire on the part of pastors to COM
plete their lists before sending, but he
is urging upon the pastors that partial
lists which might be supplemented
later, will be recognized by the COM
mittee as proof that the Importance
of the work has been universally rec
ognized, whereas the reception of only
a small percentage of completed lists
leaves room for doubt whether the
collection of names is actually being
proceeded with. Mgr. Drumgoole

CHURCH AND TAXATION
CONFUSION CAUSED BY ERRONE-
Gus REPORT IN CATHOLIC
CIRCLES REGARDING REVENUE
TAX.

A report recently appeared in Cath
olic newspapers that, although exempt
from taxation, churches, educational
institutions and charitable organiza-
tons must file with the Collector of
Internal Revenue affidavits concerning
their income and expenditures. This
report is said to have caused consider
able confusion, especially among
Catholic organizations engaged in char
liable work
The Buffalo Echo has investigated
the matter and is in a position to state
authoritatively that the report was not
founded on fact. A letter just re-
ceived from the office of the Commits
sioner of Internal Revenue at Wash
ington says:
All churches and charitable organ
izations, no part of the net income of
which inures to the benefit of any
member or individual, are exempt
from the provisions of the Act of
September s, 1916, and Titles | and
II of the Act of October 3, 1917. This
being the case, such organizations are
not required to file returns of annual
net incomes.
''In the event that any doubt ex-
lists in regard to whether or not any
organization is exempt from the pro-
visions of the Acts cited above, and
affidavits showing how it's income is
derived, how distributed and whether
or not any part of it's net income in
ures to the benefit of any individual,
should be forwarded for the consid-
Grafton of the Commissioners of In.
ternal Revenue"

. Shortly after the election of
Pope Benedict XIV, writer in
The Westminster Gazette, who
knew the Holy Father when he
was secretary to Cardinal Rampol-
la, remarked that the Cardinal
placed in him implicit confidence
and evidently regarded his judg-
ment as absolutely sound and re-
liable" That is the feeling that
all wise, fair-minded students OF
events have towards His Holiness,
says an eastern writer. He stands
out against a background of
world conflict, an eXemplar of wis
dom, honor and courage.

The war of 1914, which has brought
so many things to the melting pot,
has not yet finished with the great
Russian Church, which represents the
principal Eastern schism. On the
whole it found the clergy attached to
their duties of obedience to the car
and patriotism, for. the Metropolitan
of Petrograd, Petrim, protector of Ras-
putin, did not represent the general
opinion. The revolution found cler-
