DIOCESE OF CROOKSTON
Diocesan CORRESPONDENT: Rev. Jo-
seph Wurm, Crookston. MINI.

Mcorhead: On Wednesday, Sep
memorated the 1872 anniversary of
the submission of the Constitution to
the people of the United States for
ratification Several of the pupils
read original papers on the Govern
ment of this country.
On Friday afternoon, Attorney John
H. Fleming gave a talk to the stu
dents on the same subject. He gave
a brief history of the early attempts
of the Colonies, especially those of
New England, to confederate together
for their mutual protection and
safety He traced the rise, growth
and development of the Government
of the United States from the con-
federation of Massachusetts, Ply
mouth and New Haven, in 1913, down
to the Continental Congress which
adopted the Declaration of Indepen-
dence. He gave very clear exposi.
try under the Articles of Confedera.
ton, with it's inherent weaknesses
He said that the lack of strong
central authority that would command
the respect of foreign nations and the
love and obedience of our own citizens
was the impelling cause of our pres
ent Constitution. Under the Articles
of Confederation each state claimed
| it's sovereignty, hence the DEGREES OF
Congress went to the states as re
quests instead of commands. This
! was the great fundamental defect ir
the Confederation of 1881. 1t led tt
| it's eventual overthrow. The speaker
then gave a lucid exposition of the
workings of our governments, Fed
eral and State, and appealed to his
hearers to see to it that the authority
of the Federal Government was 1e
| stricted to those powers only which
relate to this country in it's nationa
capacity, and that the States shoult
guard jealousy their right to hone
rule in the management of their owl
affairs. The speaker appealed to thu
students to study thoroughly the his
tory of America, it's Constitution, it
institutions, it's people, and particu
larly the lives of it's many illustriou
citizens past and present to whom w
are greatly indebted for all that i
worth while in our political institr
tons.

Brief Reviews and Notices

Life of Saint zita. By Mgr. Saint
Clair. Published by Pierre Tequi,
Paris. Price 20 cents.
This little book gives an outline of
the life of st. Zita, the patroness of
servants. She was born in Lucca, in
Italy, in the thirteenth century, and
died in 1878. Going into service with
the famous Fatinelli family, the fu-
ture saint was subjected to much suf-
fering and humiliation. Later on,
however, her worth was recognized,
she was promoted by her employers,
and she devoted her energies to do
ing good to friend and foe. She was
canonized in 1896.
Life Sketch of Mother Mary Lawrence.
By Rev. D. J. O'Sullivan. Published
by Propagation of the Faith Soci-
ETY., Boston.
The above is a delightful review of
the life work of an American girl.
Marie Comtois was born In Canada in
1880, but the years of her girlhood
were passed at Worcester, Mass,
where she was brought by her parents
when she was an infant. From the
parochial school to work in a factory,
thence to the order of Franciscan
Missionaries of Mary, shows a life
much like that of thousands of other
American girls. In 1909 Mother Mary
Lawrence made her final vows, and in
1912 was made mistress of novices
of her order in Rome. In 1914 she
arrived in Manchuria whittier she had
been sent on the Chinese mission.
After remarkable work among the
poor and the outcast, Mother Law
renee succumbed, a victim of small
pox, on Good Friday, April 6, 1917.
This little book forms a beautiful
tribute to the charity and patience of
the humble Missionary of Mary.
The Theistic Social Ideal. BY Rev.
Patrick Casey, A. M. Diederich
Schaefer Co., Milwaukee. Price
sixty cents.
In this work the author, who is pro-
fessor of sociology in st. Charles Col
lege, Helena, Mont, endeavorS to
show the origin of the distributive
ideal of wealth and possessions, and
the subsequent ousting of this ideal
in favor of capitalism. To this end
he begins by outlining fundamental
notions of wealth, its nature and ORR
gin. He then traces the process by
which the wage-earner's income de-
creases in proportion to the increase
of the social income To offset this
disaster the author lays down prin-
ciples to guide modern society in
realizing the distributive state where
in economic democracy will reign
Altogether, Father Casey has added
valuable contribution to the study
of social problems in their relation
to wealth and labor. We may add
that this book is now in it's second
edition.

Of a religious celebration at or about
the time of the vernal equinox is older
than history. In pagan times 1t marked
the dawn of a new year, the end Of
winter and the approach of spring, the
springing of life out of death. Ma
lure first taught man to celebrate the
Easter season. She is full In spring
Of emblems of the resurrection.
All winter trees stand stripped and
bare. The shrubs. the grasses, the
flowers sleep in n cold sepulcher of
snow. But In the spring comes the
dawn of n new life. The snowdrifts
melt. The rivers burst their Ice
bonds. The trees put forth buds. The
grasses awake from their slumber and
show green. The crocus and the
basque flower break forth into bloom.
II Is the resurrection time of the Wis
Ible creation. 1t Is the Easter time of
the world. 1t is natures answer to the
lnquiring soul Of man.
In Easter Is a time of
