Brief Reviews and Notices

Christ's Life in Pictures: BY Rev.
George A. Keith, S. J. Published
by Extension Press, Chicago. Price
$3.50
In the present work Father Keith
has placed within the grasp of chill
dren, as well as their elders, a COM
plete series of historical sketches in
the life of Christ Unlike other works
of this nature each page contains but
large picture with it's title, without
long explanatory notes. For this rea-
son this collection which begins with
a picture of the espousals of ST.
Joseph and the Blessed Virgin and
ends with a picture of Pentecost, is
most valuable for teaching a correct
knowledge of the life of Christ Long
ago Pope Gregory the Great declared
in writing to a French Bishop that
pictures are to the illiterate what the
printed word is to the learned. In the
present case, the book will be a
source of intense interest to both
young and old. 1t may be mentioned
that this beautiful work bears the high
est endorsement of the Apostolic Del
egate, as we'll as of the three Amer
lean Cardinals. To their words of
praise we also add our humble but
sincere wish that Christ's Life in
Pictures may be found in every Cath
Ole home and school in the land.

THE IDOL OF AVIATORS
GUYNEMER WAS AS NOTED FOR
HIS PlETY AS FOR DARING.

No one has yet appeared among the
heroes of the air to whom the daunt-
less Guynemer has been forced to take
second place. His name is still ut
tered with unconcealed reverence by
American aviators no less than by his
own countrymen. Nor is his incom-
parable record in disposing of seven
ty-five enemy planes the only reputa-
ton that his admirers dwell upon.
A young American who aspires to
emulate the late lace of aces" writes
to his parents in this country: Il am
acquainted with Christian Brother
here who knew Guynemer we'll. He
said that he confessed every week
and would never fly until he had first
uttered prayer. The French priest
here preached an excellent sermon
over him. The life of Guynemer reads
like that of saint; he has had Paris

BASILICA TO SACRED HEART

ing the Holy Fathers Mass at the
Vatican, pledged himself anew for
the realization of worldwide vow
to the Sacred Heart His undertake
ing received the approval of several
bishops, to whom he made it known.
Later he communicated the idea to
the soldier priests of France, to the
soldiers at the front, and to other per-
sons in various parts of France, by
all of whom it was enthusiastically
received
On January /, 1917, at the closing
ceremony of the Iridium of prayer,
celebrated in the chapel of the Mon
astery of the Visitation at Toulouse,
mis- Grace, the Archbishop of Toulouse
recited aloud the formula of the vow.
On January 1, 1918, the VOW was
solemnly renewed by his lordship the
Auxiliary Bishop of Toulouse in the
Church of st. Sernin, in thanksgiv-
ing for the deliverance of Jerusalem.
Such is a brief account of the
origin of the VOW of the Catholic
world to the Sacred Heart, to obtain
peace for the world in justice and in
charity. 1t may be called, in short,
''the devotion of the VOW" The chief
end of the devotion is the establish
ment and the recognition of the reign,
social and universal, of the Sacred
Heart of Jesus. France, by her ma
tional basilica of Montmartre, has ac-
knowledged the reign of the Sacred
Heart throughout the nation; the
Catholic world, by the basilica at
Jerusalem, will proclaim the reign of
the Sacred Heart over the entire
world. In the words of his Grace the
Archbishop of Toulouse: What a
glorious achievement! The whole hui
man race, troubled and repentant
turning with confidence towards Cal
vary, whence salvation first came"
The object of the vow is to obtain
money for the basilica, and for this
purpose the smallest offerings will be
accepted. The end of the VOW is the
establishment of the reign of Christ
upon this earth; and therefore it is
the making or the VOW itself which
is all-important, for it is an act of re-
ligion and sacrifice which will draw
down the blessing of heaven.
Money is needed for the basilica,
but though this is necessary, it is less
important than an immense number
of associates, united around the Heart
Of Jesus in one same act of faith and
OF reparation in order to obtain
speedy help from God, to put an end
to the miseries from which the world
is suffering.
Tickets of enrolment and instruc-
lions on the devotion may be obtained
from the Convent of the Visitation,
Harrow-on-the-Hill, Middlesex, Eng
land.

BRAVE CHAPLAIN DUFFY
CATHOLIC PRIEST is HONORED
FOR FEARLESS WORK
UNDER FIRE.

When the history of New York's
own "SiXty-Ninth' in the war has been
written the world will know the full
story of the bravery under fire of the
regiments chaplain, Father Francis
P. Duffy. Meanwhile it must content
itself with the meager details of his
wonderful work that come over the
cables.
Dispatches say that all through the
charge across the Ourcq and the ad-
vance of the old Sixty-Ninth, the chap
lain, Father Duffy, with his coat off,
the perspiration streaming down his
begrimed face, worked tirelessly ad-
ministering the last sacraments, and
wives "back home" Times there
were when a stretcherbearer was shot
down in the furious fighting. Then
the chaplain halted his work as q
priest to take up the fallen end and
help bear the wounded behind the
lines.
when you are writing about it, ;"
said Private Rooney to a correspond
ent with whom he was discussing the
famous dash across the Ourcq, don't
forget to say good word for the
chaplain. He's real man." Heed
less of snipers' bullets, Father Duffy
carries on" He is in the fiercest
fighting bearing comfort and cheer.
And stories of his bravery multiply.
The report of the day says: REV.
Francis P. Duffy is chaplain of the
One Hundred and Sixty-fifth Infantry
and went through the trenches before
an engagement, speaking to each man
personally and cheering them all with
his brave words. After the action
started he assisted in carrying out the
wounded. The boys say he did as fine
bit of work as any man in the COM
pany." Father Duffy has been recon-
mended for the Cross of Honor.

More than fifty years ago, says the
London Tablet, sanity French
priest, Pere Eymard, founder of the
Congregation of the Most Holy Sac
rament (known in English-speaking
countries as the Fathers of the
Blessed SacramenD, conceived the
idea of purchasing the site of the
Cenacle at Jerusalem, in order to
build upon it church where there
might be perpetual alteration of the

will go through Europe on foot, staff
in hand, begging for money in order
to build a magnificent basilica there
His efforts were fruitless-there
were too many difficulties in the way.
The time was not yet ripe for the full
filment of his desire. He died in 1868,
but fifty years later an event occurred
which would have filled his heart with
joy had be been living.
On December 9, 1917, after battle
fought and won on the Feast of Our
Ladys Immaculate Conception, Jeru-
salem was surrendered by the Turks
to a Christian power. The Holy
places, sanctified by the life and
death of the Divine Redeemer, passed
into British hands, never again, we
trust, to come into the possession of
those who profess the teaching of
Mohammed, or of those who disre-
gard the principles of Christianity.
Strangely enough, more than two
years before the capture of Jeru-
salem from the Turks, the idea of
building a basilica to the Sacred Heart
in that city was conceived by one
who had already been one of the orig
inators of the idea of a basilica to
the Sacread Heart at Montmartre.
During the Franco-Prussian War of
1870, two deVout Christians in France
started the idea of a national basilica
to the Sacred Heart, which idea re-
suited in a national vow and in the
erection of the yotive basilica of
Montmartre. On Whit Sunday, 1915,
