MISS MARSHALL
WRITES HOME FOLKS
Describes Her Visit to the Isle of
Wight

Mr.. and Mrs. I. G. Marshall have
received the following letter from
their daughter, Miss Maude Mar
shall:
Portsmouth, England.
Sept 16, 1918.
Hello, Folks:
/ think the only thing that's hap
pened since | wrote you last is that
I've been tc the Isle of Wight. It
is only Az miles by boat from here,
but l just haven't gone before. We
went over in the boat to Ryde, then
by train to Newport, where there is
a wonderful old castle called Caris-
brooke Castle, now owned by the
Princess of Battenburg, sister of the
king. The castle is way up on a hill
and from the parapet you get mag
nifcent view. 1t was very strongly
fortified in olden days and you can
see where the moat used to be.
Queen Elizabeth died there and
Charles I was imprisoned there for
two years before they beheaded him.
We saw the identical window from
which he tried to escape. There's
a we'll 161 feet deep that was sunk
in 1850, and the man drew up some
water for US. It was really inter
esting because it is just like the cas-
ties you read about in books, and it's
fairly we'll preserved. The Isle OF
Wight is beautiful. 1t is different
from the rest of England that | have
seen. The country is a good deal
like southern Vermont and Massa-
chusetts, and the whole place is SO
clean it locks as though it had been
scrubbed. There are a lot Of inter
esting places over there and | would
like to make several trips over.
Lots of love,
MAUDE

BELL OF COLOGNE

The great ''kaiserS bell" whose
mighty, sonorous voice many Ameri-
cans may have heard above the roar
of Cologne, has now been removed
from its cage in the southern tower OF
the grand Cathedral.
Deeply moved, the Cologne citi-
zens listened to the Maria Gloriosa,
as the bell was named, ring out a
funeral chant on New Years night
Since then the bell has been taken
down and will be sacrificed for the
fatherland's defense. 1t was impos
sible to remove the bell intact-it
weighed $4,000 pounds-without in.
juring the beautiful masonry of the
steeple, so the bell was sawed in
pieces and thus safely brought to the
ground.
French guns captured in 1870 and
1871 were the material from which
the bell was made, and it was first
sounded on March q, 1877, the birth
day of William |, who gave it to the
Cathedral. At that time it took TWEEN
ty- seven bell ringers to operate it
Since then it had been worked by az
electric apparatus.

The Church Of England
VARIETY OF BELIEFS PREVALENT
BISHOP DENIES CHRIST'S
DIVINITY.

Anglicans, it cannot be denied
have good reason for being disturbed
by the state of doctrinal chaos which
prevails in their Church. The Rev.
Darwell Stone, answering the letter
in which the Dean of Canterbury
asked why Dean Henson should be
held disqualified for appointment as
Bishop of the Church of England,
says:
"The definite disqualification in doc
trine in the case of DR.. Henson is his
attitude in regard to miracles, and es-
pecially to the Virgin Birth and the
Resurrection of Our Lord. In his The
Greed in the Pulpit p. SO, he wrote of
the nature miracles recorded in the
Gospels that, from the standpoint Of
historical science, they must be held
to be incredible. In the same book,
on pages xiv, IS, 81, he spoke of
Biblical science 'disallowing the be-
lief in an incarnation effected by mir
acles,' of Our Lords human nature as
being "a severely normal humanity,
of the narratives of Our Lords birth
being generally assumed by the
learned to belong less to history than
to poetry of the Incarnation being
effected in the normal working of the
Divine providence, and on page 211
he says that the doctrine of the Res
direction taught by st. Paul definitely
disalloWs the theory on which alone
the empty tomb can have any vital
relation to Christian faith
The Rev. Darwell Stone adds that
many similar statements can be found
in DR.. Henson's writings. There is no
absence of varieties of belief and dis
belief in the Church of England.
Doubtless Mr. Lloyd George is of the
opinion that if DR.. Henson was or
thodox as Dean he ought also to
be orthodox as a Bishop.

Zionism and the Vatican
HOLY SEE RESERVING JUDGMENT
UNTIL DETAILS ARE KNOWN
PoPES ALWAYS sYMPATHlZED
WITH JEWS.

Another interest has come up in
Rome lately: Zionism. 1t has been
said that the Holy See ''favors" this
project for the establishment of the
Jews in Palestine. That is not true.
The Holy See has not pronounced in
favor of this or any other project,
though it may certainly be said
and this is evident from the uniformly
charitable attitude of the Holy See
towards Jews as Jews-that it would
favor any proposal to ameliorate the
condition of Jews as Jews. But, when
people claim that the Holy See ap-
proves the establishment of Jewish
dominion over Palestine, they are
saying what is not true, for there is
no such proposal for dominion. AS a
matter of fact, the Holy See, while
never afraid to let it's generous senti-
ments towards Jews as Jews be
known, is reserVing judgment until it
has accurate information of the form
this settlement in Palestine proposes
to take.
To one Italian Catholic writer, who
spoke of Jewish kingdom there,
his mistake was at once pointed out,
and the futility of his expressions of
resentment, inasmuch as no such pro-
posal was on foot In the meanwhile,
until the whole question comes up
for settlement, the feelings Of the
Holy See are exactly summed up in
the Osservatore Romano comment on
the liberation of. the Holy Places, that
the traditions of the British Empire
are satisfactory guarantee to the
Holy See that Catholic rights and
interest will be respected.

Death Of a Heroic Nun
FRENCH SISTER TRUE TO FAITH
AND ITIONS-KILLED IN
ACT OF CHARlTY-AcCOR
MILITARY HONORS.

The death of Sister Ignatius of the
Order of the Divine Saviour, adds an
other name to the list of those won
derful nuns of France who have died
in the service of their country and
humanity. In July, 1915, the Sister
was sent from a hospital of her order
in Paris to her native province Of
Alsace to take charge of a military
hospital that had been established in
a valley near to her own birthplace.
The little town of Morsch, where the
hospital is situated, had been taken
by the Germans, and then recapturedI
by the French and held by them, and
it was at all times subjected to bonn
bardments from the air by German
airships.
Shortly after the Sister had taken
up her duties the hospital was bomb
ed by the Germans from the air while
an operation was in progress. All
the wounded fit to travel were sent
away, and those too badly injured to
be moved away were placed in the
cellars for safety. And the bombing
continued, and the wounded still
poured in for such treatment as could
be afforded them. Only a few miles
away was the Hartmansweilerkopf
where fierce fighting has been in prog
ress since the beginning of the war.
On one particular morning the hos
pital was the target for furious
| cannonade. During the evening two
nuns who taught in the village school
were wounded by a shell while car
| rying out their duties, and they came
to Sister Ignatius to have their
| wounds dressed. The Sister and an
| other nun of her community decided
to go with the wounded nuns to their
| convent in order to see them safe in
| secure shelter. But as the four
nuns were on their way shell came
| over and burst near them. Two of
the Sisters were badly shaken, but
not wounded by the explosion, but
Sister Ignatius was nowhere to be
seen, and her companions thought at
first that she had taken refuge in a
cellar. But a soldier brought report
that a nun who had been struck by a
shell was lying dead from the exp1o-
sion, Sister took the frightened nuns
to the spot, and it was found that Sis
ter Ignatius had been killed by shell
| According to a desire expressed
while she was alive, Sister Ignatius
was buried with full military honors
like a soldier All the inhabitants
of the little town followed her body
to the grave. A military escort sur.
rounded the coffin, and six soldier
priests in the uniform of the French
army headed the procession. The
heroic nun lies buried between two
officers, who, IKE herself, laid down
| their lives for France.

SPAIN AND THE WAR
SPANISH PRELATES WARN OF
DANGERS-uRGE CATHOLICS
TO DO THEIR DUTY.

The Spanish episcopate has issued
a collective declaration on the subject
of the duty of Catholics in the present
circumstances. 1t is a long document
The prelates say that, viewing the
general disquiet of the country, they
cannot but consider the present mo.
ment as of the gravest character, hav.
ing a particular solemnity from the
fact that Europe and the whole world
are in a tempest in which right and
justice have already suffered severe
attacks, while Spain herself is being
dragged into the vortex. They protest
against the maneuyres of professional
agitators who seek easy triumph fol
their ambitions and passions. Spanish
Catholics must repulse all seductive
