A WAR INCIDENT

The Americans didn't know French,
but they had been over here long
enough to know cinq francs when they
heard it. They heard it so often
/ in the course of that sermon that they
thought that vas what the good man
wanted from each ana every one OF
! them.
So when VI. Lecture started down
the main aisle right after the begin
ming of the credo to take up the col
lection he was fairly swamped with
fiye-franc notes. Every o. ID. blouse
was unbuttoned and from every one
came the little blue paper. By the
time he had got down the main aisle
and was going to turn up the side
aisle, they had so exhausted the col
lection box's capacity that he had to
make an apron out of his surpIfce.
And he couldn't understand it at all
The chaplain of the particular
American unit that thus sbelled out
sat in the back of the church. Know
ing 'French-and also the boys-he
was surprised at the outlay. Later, he
inquired, and found out what prompt
ed it. Then the boys and he had
mighty good laugh.
Not so the French priest when he
heard about it. He was horror-struck.
Il must get that money back to them!
1t is not right, l must give it back"
he exclaimed.
mo, you mustn't brother!" laughed
the American chaplain. Il told the
boys all about it, and they say the
lesson in French was cheap at the
price. Besides, your sermon hit home
so hard they've more than saved five
francs apiece this last week in town.

the presence of the band of the 9th

RELIGIOUS SPIRIT
OF OUR SOLDIERS

! of Catholic churches in Belgium and
/ crate targets of German shells; when
! they see the sublimest thought ever
! expressed in stone, a mass of Smoul-
| dering debris, Its glass, rivaled only
/ by that of Charities, shattered in starry
! fragments on its blOodstained pave
n1cnt, and its fragments made the
! settings of soldiers rings?'
But of all the appeals to the Cath
Ollie soldier in France, there is one
! that has a force and diTectness that
are well-nigh over-powering. 1t is the
! antiquity Of the Church. The build
ines in which he says his prayers are
old, centuries old, and they stand
| erect today, despite generations of
war and persecution, firm as the eter-
nal hills, type of that rock on which
Christ has built His. imperishable
Church, with its fortrcss-like walls,
| and massive flying buttresses, and
/ forest OF giant columns, and soaring
arches and twinkling glass, flashing
out into the gathering darkness with
an indCScribable burst Of color. AS he
prays he calls to mind that Jeanne
dare, too, said her prayers in that
very church some five hundred years
ago. Long before the warrior Maid
Of DOmremy, another old time Cru
sader, Richard the Lion Hearted,
hung up mis- arms, his hammered spoils
displayed' and at that very shrine of
the Madonna besought Heaven for vic
tory. Centuries before that, ST. Mar
tin trOd the ground where our modern
American Crusader now sweeps the
plains with his machine gun, and st.
Louis, King, of the Franks, and his
famous successors, were crowned in
the grand old Cathedral that is daily
CT German gunners.' But now these
great ShadOwy names of the vanished
past are dead and gone, the world is
upside-doWn, all things are changed
all save one, Gods church. Ecclesia
autem in aeternum stat. Immediately
our soldiers thoughts run off into rich
new fields, his Surging emotions pulse
with strange new JOY, he is carried
back by leaps and bounds into the dim
distance Of the earliest antiquity, and
as he opens his eyes he sees that as
far as there is any monumental evil
denCe at all in France, it is Catholic
evidence, and he rejoices III possessing
the Faith of his fathers, his mind is
expanded, his vision has become en-
larged, and he thrills with pride at
being a member of that great world
wide communion, Catholic in time,
Catholic in peace, Catholic in doc
trino.
If sufficient number of American
born Catholic Chaplains is sent over
seas there is no reason why Catholic
American soldiers in France should
rot lead lives as sanity as that of a
Centurion of the Gospel, who re-
Cejyed such high praise from Christ
Himself, nor is it too much to expect
them to rival st. Sebastian in holiness,
in courage and in patriotism, and give
to America a modern military patron
as q synonym for al that a soldier
ought to be.

Three prominent Belgians have
been sentenced to long terms of inn
prisonment by the German military
authorities for their alleged connec

Libre Belgique, according to Les
Nouvelles, Belgian newspaper pub

Father Delahaye, a Belgian priest,

At three o'clock in the afternoon on
Thursday, August Is, the Feast of the
Assumption of the Blessed Virgin
Mary, the impressive ceremony of a
religious profession, took place in the
chapel of st. Joseph Novitiate in this
city, the provincial training school
of the Sisters of st. Joseph. 1t was
attended by number of priests from
the Twin Cities and elsewhere, as
well as by large gathering of Sis
tiers drawn thither by a desire to con-
graduate the members of their COM
munity who participated in the solemn
function.
The novices and Sisters marched in
procession to the chapel while the
choir sang appropriate hymns. After
the singing of the ''Veni Creator Spir-
-itus,' the Very Rev. J. C. Byrne, v. G.,
who officiated in the absence of the
Most Reverend Archbishop, preached
the sermon and received the vows of
the young novices, after which he
blessed the crucifixes and invested
each novice with this symbol of mem
bership in the Community. The thir-
ty-six Sisters who had completed the
time prescribed by the laws of the
Church for those who are preparing
to take final VOWS then approached the
altar rail and made their profession,

May Catholic be fortune teller?
To attempt to discover hidden or
future events by means of things
that in themselves are not capable of
revealing them is sin against the
First Commandment. We read in the
Book of Leviticus: "The soul that
shall go aside after magicians and
soothsayers, will destroy out of the
midst of its people," To attribute
to created things powers which they
do not possess is a grievous sin. To
have ones fortune told through
curiosity without placing any faith in
it or in the spirit in which it is gen.
orally done, is at most only a venial
sin. To make profession of telling
fortunes and to thereby lead people
to superstition is certainly a grievous
sin
