New York, Aug. 23.-Pope Bene-
dict has conferred his blessing on the
knights of Columbus because of their
war-relief work, according to mes
sage from Rome received here today
by James A. Flaherty, supreme knight.
This message, signed by an apos-
tilic secretary, was sent after the
Pope had learned from report of the
knights victory convention re-
Gently, the scope of the orders war
activities. The message said
Rendering heartfelt thanks for the
solemn sentiments of homage, fidelity
and attachment rendered by the SUI

umbus, the august pontiff blesses with
all his heart the members of the order
and all charitable persons cooperating
in your noble work."

THE COURTESY DUE
TO THEIR HOST

The Western Catholic reads a les
son to a class of Catholics always to
be found in every parish when it
says: Thickness may we'll dipute
with cleanliness it's proximity to god
lineSs The one who comes late to a
social function is ready with an cX
cuse or apology. lie knows that it is
expected as a matter of ordinary
courtesy to his host.
There is one class who have not
the slightest regard for their fellow
guests nor do they recognize the
courtesy due their Host. We speak of
those who habitually and without
just cause are late for Sunday Mass.
They are wanting in the common
courtesies when dealing with AL
mighty God
On Sunday morning the Lord is
their Host. He is entertaining them
at the great Banquet Of His Body and
Blood. They are the honored guests,
yet their sense of the tremendous
honor that their Host is paying them
is so blunted that they will not show
Him the courtesy they show their
fellow men in society.
They do not seem to care that it is
disrespectful to God, a distraction to
the priest at the altar and a scandal
to the rest of the congregation They
saunter into church with an indiffer-
ent air. One would imagine that they
were doing favor to Almighty God
by coming at all.

WORK OF KNIGHTS OF

Fifty million dollars is asked by the

of the arms of the Allies was its

THE CHAPLAIN,

or all the actors in the great trag-
edy of the war none stand out more
heroically than the chaplains, none
fill a greater place in what has come
to be called the theatre of war. No
wonder so many of them have re-
ceived decorations, and no wonder
the men highly value the presence
and the consolation and the encourage
ment of the padre as. the officers
call all the ministers Of religion.
TO the Catholic soldiers, however,
the priest means 'father,'' and it is
good to see them smile as he ap-
proaches, and to hear the sound ring
OF the old faith in their voices as
they reply to his SALVATION and ad-
dress him always as father" Mass
has been said in the very trenches
and the writer has attended mass in
many a ruined church and MANY a
shell-wrecked shelter. And ever and
always the men are the same-de-
voted and earnest, and the more
Wretched their surroundings, the more
eager they are.
Nothing is more noticeable than the
way the Catholic soldier holds by his
beads. In the change and chance and
turmoil OF active service many things
get lost, but the rosary beads seem to
be always treasured, and every soldier
at mass seems to have them. Prayer
books are often missing, but the ros-
airy, as a rule, never is.
The writer has seen men who were
killed in the line. Their little per-
sonal belongings are carefully col
lected by comrades and safely kept to
be sent home; but the rosary, when
found in the pocket, is often, usually,
indeed, reverently placed round the
dead mans neck before he is wrapped
in his blanket for burial. 81 put his
beads about his neck, SIR" is the re.

bearer to the chaplain or other officer,
as man is given to the grave. How
many Catholic soldiers lie in their
lonely graves today in the war zone
with their beads about their necks!
How very, very many! And so, in.
deed one feels sure, would wish to
be buried
In all the horror welter of war, be-
yond all doubt the stately and simple
faith of the Catholic soldier supplies
at least one bright spot that shines
and cheers amidst the ruin and de.
vastation all about. And of all the
symbols of his faith the soldiers ros.
airy is foremost.

POOR MAN!

States are established by Gods
ordinance, they have their existence in
the necessity of mans nature; but
when was one ever established, nay,
or maintained, without war and blood
shed? OF all natural instincts, what
is more powerful than that which for
bids us to shed our fellows blood?
We shrink with natural horror from
the thought of murderer; yet not a
government has ever been settled, or a
state acknowledged by it's neighbors,
without war and the loss of life; nay,
more than this, not content with un-
justifiable bloodshed, the guilt of
which must lie somewhere, instead
of lamenting it as a grevious and hui
initiating evil, the world has chosen
to. honor the conqueror with it's
amplest share of admiration. To be-
come hero, in the eyes of the world,
it is almost necessary to break the laws
OF God and man . :. The world adopts
bad doctrine to defend bad practices;
it loves darkness because its deeds
are evil.

DEATH OF BISHOP LoWNEY.

Rt. Rev. Denis M. Lowney, D. D.,
Auxiliary to the Rt. Rev. Matthew
Harkins, Bishop of the diocese of
Providence and Titular of the See of
Adrianopole, died on August 13 at the
Cathedral rectory on Fenner street,
Providence, after an illness extending
over three months. The funeral was
held on August 16 with Pontifical
Mass celebrated by the Rt. Rev.
Thomas D. Beaver, D. D., Bishop of
Springfield at whose hands less than
one year ago Bishop Lowney received
his episcopal conservation. Bishop
Lowney was elevated to the episco-
pate on October %, 1917, and was &C.
lively engaged in the duties of his
high office until the time he was
stricken with his last illness. The
great outpouring of clergy and people,
and the sincere grief manifested at his
obsequies indicate the high esteem
and genuine love to which the de-
ceased prelate was entitled, says the
Visitor.
Bishop Lowney was born in ireland
on June 1, 1863.
