And leave the world rejoicing in the
clasp of our victory.
Feast of Saint Michael. 1918.

One-half of a successful life is action
the getting of things done in the
right way at the right time. But the
other half is no less useful-endur-
ance, patience, the bearing of things
that are hard, the steadfast holding to
a difficult position. In other words,
half of success is getting it out of
seeming failure.

While the passion of some is to
shine, of some to govern, and of others
to accumulate, let one great passion
sion which reason ratifies, which con-
science approves, which heaven in

LIFE AND LA5oRs OF ARcH5IsH-
OPP IRELAND LAUDED
BY coNFREREs.
Cardinal Gibbons.

Archbishop Ireland was my close
friend for forty years. He was
strong advocate of temperance by
voluntary act. He was a true patriot,
and contributed probably more than
any other man to demonstrate the
harmony between the constitution of
the Church and the Constitution of the
United States. The Archbishop was
one of the most eloquent orators and
in addition a great intellectual leader.
He was a man Of fascination and
magnetism which has been rarely
eaualIed. In his death the Church has
lost a worthy prelate and the nation
a worthy patriot
Archbishop sonzano, Apostolic Dele
gate.
With profound grief l send my eX-
pressions of sincere coincidence to the
clergy and faithful of the Archdiocese
of St. Paul over their irreparable loss
in the death of their great leader,
Archbishop Ireland. The monuments
of his untiring activity and zeal will
assure for him a glorious place in the
history of the Church by the side OF
the greatest and most illustrious
prelates of this country.
Archbishop Hanna, San Francisco.
Great as was my personal love Tor
Archbishop Ireland, greater was my
admiration for his. extraordinary gifts.
He loved his country as few have loved
it, and he showed his love by years
of devoted service. He loved Christ
with a love that knew no bounds, and
to Him he consecrated his superb
talents OF mind and heart. AS no one
equalled him in grasp of mind so, too,
no one ever showed his courage in ad-
vancing Christ's cause, and in making
it loved and respected by the Amer
lean people. May his name be in bene-
diction and his memory ever green.

will become much greater than here
tofore. Orinions differ as to whether
after leaving schools, girls should be
trained principally for profession or
for household duties. The lesson of
the war which has brought into clear
relief the abilities of women in both
Ehcres, is perhaps that in. future a
middle course should be adopted.
"The training in households is to be
regularly supervised with view to
seeing whether the girl really learns
something there and is not merely
made a drudge, and she must be al
lowed time TO attend the Women's
Service school. The employers are to
give small sum ais pocket money to
the conscripts and pay the state a
levy for the services rendered. This
revenue is to provide the means fol-
creating more Women's Service
