Hecker stayed there about eight
months, when he went to Fruitlands,
near Harvard, Mass, farm con-
Quoted on somewhat similar lines, shut
he remained there only two weeks.
He was received into the Catholic
Church on August 1, 1914, by Bishop
Qater CardinaD McCloskey, joined
the Redemptorist Order in 1916, and
three years later was ordained in
London by Bishop Cater CardinaD

Order after eleven years, and with
four other former Redemptorists-
Clarence Walworth, Augustine Hewitt,
George Deshon and Francis Baker
established the congregation of the
Missionary Priests of st. Paul the
Apostle, which was composed almost
entirely of native Americans and con-

POPE'S BUSY DAY
AFFAIRS-CAREs FOR lNDlvID-
UAL PROB LENS AND FOR
WORLD ISSUES.

Larger NUMBERS are now being ad-
mitted to audience with the Holy Fa-
Their, among them many American
troops, who take the leave opportunity
Of coming to Rome before recrossing
the Atlantic; Catholics among them
anxious to kiss His Holiness ring
and get his blessing; non-Catholics-
albeit with all reverence-to "see the
Pope"
Some of them may think--if a
thought occurs to them at all in the
matter-that is all the Holy Father
has to do, just coming down to speak
word or two and returning to his
private room.
After Mass and thanksgiving and
the simplest of simple Italian break,
fasts, the whole morning is occupied
by the foutine audiences of heads OF
congregations and departments; the
reports of the Cardinal Secretary OF
State, at which, perhaps, some great
world problem has to be discussed;
of the Maestro di Camera with the list
of private and public audiences, which
sometimes last till we'll past 1 o'clock
and nearly every day are supplement
ed by others in the afternoon.
And then the days business must
necessarily call for attention an6
study of host of documents, DEGREES
of congregations and the like, for the
Pope's signature, on matters of the
most urgent religious interest perhaps
| for Catholic communities and indi
viduals thousands of miles away
For them that document is all in all
it may make all the difference tt
| their lives; and they, of course, do no
realize that it is but one item in {
very overburdened day.
And yet, the marvel is that, if YOU
speak of His Holiness, Pope Bene
dict XIV, about some religious matte
in which you are specially interested
not only does he seem to know al
about it, but you come away with tn
impression that it is the one subject
in which he, too, is interested.
How it is humanity possible to stud
all the matters the Holy Father ha
to study-and sometimes with gray
responsibility to decide-to lay dow
meanwhile and almost in the sam
breath lessons for Lenten preacher
and for the Peace Congress-this is
mystery.

GERMAN PRIESTS
CARDINAL GIBBONS GETS ASSUR.
ANCE THAT LIMITED NUMBER
MAY REMAIN IN CHINA.

Cardinal Gibbons has been notified
by the Department Of State that at
least a number of German priests en-
gagged in missionary work in China
would be permitted to continue their
apostolic labors in that country. This
information was conveyed to the De-
partment of State by the American
minister in China in the following
cablesram:
exemption is to be granted to
missionaries necessary to continuity
of work Missionaries in Shantung
undisturbed.'
German missionaries in various
parts of the world became the victims
Of intriguery shortly after the begin
ming of the war. Hundreds of priests
have already been compelled to leave
| the missions, while others are ex-
pected to depart in the near future.
In February Bishop Henninghaus, Of
South Shantung, China, asked help in
preventing his expulsion and that of
other missionaries.
Cardinal Gibbons took up the mat
| ter with the Department OF State at
Washington. The Assistant Score
tary of State cabled to the American
minister at Pekin to represent to the
| Chinese government that American
Catholics are deeply interested in
those missions: in fact, are support
ing them by their contributions; hence
they might rightly be considered as
American missions, and we had nc
one to replace the German mission
Iaries.
After the exchange of several ca
Diagrams between Washington ant
Pekin, word was received that thu
German Franciscans and the Fathers
of the Society of the Divine Wore
would be permitted to remain il
North and South Shantung.

EAST AND West
ORIENTAL BISHOPS GATHER
AROUND THE PAPAL THRONE
HOLY FATHER EXPRESSES SOL
lClTUDE FOR THE EASTERN
CHURCH..

One OF the fruits already born of the
Pope's efforts for the reunion of the
East with the West was the reception
of the group of Oriental dignitaries by
the Holy Father on March 10, the feast
of st. Joseph. The scene was really
picturesque. Around the Papal throne
sat His Beatitude Peter XIII, Terzin,
Patriarch of the Armenians in, Cilicia;
Monsisnor Kojuman, Archbishop of
Chalcedonia; Monsignor Schire, Greek
Bishop of Benda Monsignor Papado-
pulos, Bishop of Gratianopolis,, Asses
sor OF the Sacred Congregation for
Oriental Affairs; Abbot Ubaid, Abbot
Ell Khazen, the students of the AL
bantam College recently founded by
Benedict XIV; Father Calavassy, a
number of Oriental priests and gen.
tlemen, all come to do reverence to
the Vicar Of Christ
1t made an inspiring sight, the
white-robed figure of the Supreme
Pontiff high on the throne, with all
those grave-looking, bearded Orientals
sitting around the Chair of Peter
And when Bishop Papadopulos stood
before the throne and read to the
Pope an address in the name not only
Of those present, but in that of the
whole Orient, thanking His Holiness
for all the moral and material bene-
fits he had showered upon those af-
f1icted peonles, the enthusiasm of the
Fasteners knew no bounds.
III calm, measured sentences the
holy Father spoke of his hopes for
the future. With special pleasure, he
continued, he saw present the Patri-
arch of the Armenians Of Cilicia, who
as soon as the circumstances of the
times permitted, came to Rome to do
homage to the Vicar of Christ, and
also the other Bishops, Abbots, SUI
periors of religious orders The
speech of Benedict XIV lasted for
twenty minutes. At its conclusion
His Holiness asked his visitors to
convey his message of love to their
countrymen in the East and of his
firm conviction of their return to the

HOME FOR FOUNDL|NGS
NEW YORK INSTITUTION HAS
GREAT RECORD.

About 10000 homeless babes, the
population of a good-sized city, have
passed in the last half century through
the hands of the Sisters of Charity
who conduct the New York Founding
Hospital in New York City. Saved
from destruction or pitiful want and
neglect, nursed into health, strength
and the joy of life, these little waits
were all given fresh start on life S
journey. At least $4,000 of the aban-
doned infants drifting into this snug
harbor have been placed in homes of
responsibility and comfort, with fos-
ter parents to give the care, affection
and wholesome environment from
which they were cruelty debarred at
birth.
The Home was founded in 1869 by
Sister Mary Irene. Last year alone it
cared for more than 1000 foundlings,
besides 125 homeless mothers.
