FATHER DEEPEN.

In the death last week Of the
Rev. Louis G. Deepen, the Church
in the United States, as we'll as
the diocese Of Louisville, loses a
priest who could i'll be spared.
The Catholic press speaks in glow
ing words of his work as a priest
of God, emphasizing especially
his labors as editor of The Record.
Father Deepen was more. He
embodied in his character the
noblest traits Of the priesthood at
it's highest and best. His whole
life and his exceptional talents
were spent in promoting to the
best Of his ability the glory Of
God and the salvation Of souls.
This was done with the utmost
charity, gentleness and forgetful-
ness of self. His own glory was
nothing: God alone was the OBJ
ject of his every effort.
The following appreciation from
a friend illustrates the character
Of the man:
His activities as a priest Of the
Diocese Of Louisville were as
varied as they were efficient. He
served as assistant pastor, pastor,
Secretary to the Bishop, Chancel-
lor Of the Diocese, Chaplain of st.
Xavier College and Chaplain Of
st. Joseph Infrmary. He built
two churches at his own expense;
and he made the maintenance of
the diocesan orphans independent
Of the precarious support of fairs
and picnics by obtaining regular
subscriptions through The Record.
He was tower Of strength to his
diocese. His place will not soon
be filled.
Father Deepen personality as
a priest and as a man was partic-
ularly pleasing. He was ever the
gentle shepherd, the cultured
gentleman. Piety, without osten-
tation; dignity, without affecta-
ton; sympathy, without patroniz-
ing; tact, without officiousness,
combined to make Father Deepen
an exemplar Of Christian charity
all things to all men, that he
might win souls for the Master.

LABOR COUNCIL
BOARD VISITS AMERICAN ACADL
ENVY OF CHRISTIAN DEMOC-
RACY,

distinct compliment to the ideals
and work of the American Academy
of Christian Democracy of Cincinnati
is the visit, in body, paid to that in
stitution by the officers and executive
board of the Cincinnati Central Labor
Council, headed by Mr. Adolph Kun
mer, its president. The afternoon and
evening of December 10 were agree
ably and proftably spent at the school
Entertainment and serious discussion
of the social question varied the pro-
gram.
The Central Labor Council is enthu-
siastic in supporting Rev. Peter E.
Dietz, the founder and director of the
academy. The school is principally
intended for the inculcation of correct
principles of social science among the
men and women of organized labor;
and the cooperation of the leaders of
the working people with Father Dietz
gives promise of salutary results.

A story has been going the
rounds of the Catholic press about
a certain large Catholic cOngrega-
ton in Milwaukee, where there
was a large number of weddings
during the past year, fifty per
cent of them being mixed mar
riages. Wonder is expressed by
some Of the editors that such
state of affairs could exist in an
old congregation where there is
an auditorium for the young peo-
pie to meet and every means for
the Catholic young people to come
together in a social way, notes an
observer. Sure there is an audi
forum, just as there are audito-
RUINS and club halls and rooms
owned and rented by Catholic or
carnations in many other large
cities, and which stand day after
day and evening after evening as
morgues where the spiders spin
their webs unmolested except for
the few old cronies who gather
about the table for a game of pin
nochle or euchre. There is in many
Catholic centers a woeful lack OF
social mixing by the Catholic peo-
pie and the result is mixed mar
riageS.

HOSTILE TO CHURCH
MOVEMENT TO SUPPRESS PARO'
CHIAL SCHOOLS IN NE
BRASkA.

Several proposals hostile to the
Catholic Church have been submitted
to the constitutional convention of
Nebraska, now in session at Lincoln.
There is a strong movement in favor
of state control of education through
universal compulsory education of
children from five to fifteen years of
age in public schools up to the eighth
grade. The state would be given full
control of all purely secular education.
So-called sectarian, or rather religious,
instruction would be prohibited in the
schools. Finally, there is on foot a
movement to tax church property.

JESU|TS EX0NERAT[D
SPECIAL COMMISSION FINDS
THAT ACTION OF MILITARY AU-
THORlTIES WAS UNJUSTIFI-
ABLE.

The special commission appointed
to Investigate the military raid of the
Jesuit Novitiate at Guelph, Ont, in
June, 1918, has just submitted it's re-
port. The commission delares that
the law had not been violated and
for.
Captain MacAulay undertook the
raid on the night of June Z, 1918, un-
der the pretense that the Novitiate
harbored deserters and defaulters I'M
der the Military Service Act and Or
ders in Council. The Jesuit Novitiate
was the only educational institution
in the Dominion of Canada that was
raided under the act. A Gordon of
military police was placed around the
building at night, and Captain Mac
Aulay ordered that the students be
brought from their beds, to which they
had retired for the night
Investigation proved that none of
the students at the Novitiate were
subject to military service Father
Bourque, the Rector of the institution,
at the time protested against the un-
warranted action of the military au-
thorities. The Minister1 of Militia ex-
pressed his deep regret of the incident
and Captain MacAulay was trans
ferred to another district. A special
commission to investigate the affair
was then appointed.
The commissions report says the
Captains conduct was harsh and I'M
justifable."

BISHOP KINSMAN.

From time to time we read an
nouncements Of the conversion OF
clergymen of various denomina-
tons to the true Faith. The news
is ever welcome, for it demon
strates the force Of our claims to
being the one Church established
by our Saviour. The change usu-
ally is fraught with suffering and
sacrifice on the part of the con-
verts themselves, which indicates
the sincerity Of their motives.
Recently there has returned to
the true light one of the shining
stars of the Episcopal armament.
Out Of the shadows that dimmed
the luster of his brilliancy has
emerged no less a parsonage than
one Of the most learned and prom
inent Of the Episcopal prelates,
Bishop Frederick j. Kinsman,
chief Of the Delaware jurisdiction
of that denomination. 81, i.
Bishop klnsman long has pond
cred over the irreconcilable tenets
Of the Church Of which he was a
valiant leader. The contradic-
tons in doctrine, the lack Of
unity, the absence Of central au-
thority, and the want of stability
in the foundations of his Church,
all led it's bishop first to doubt OF
his position, then to investigate
deeper, and finally to. take the
only step which sincere man pos
sibly could consider appropriate.
By one act he at once severed all
the lifelong connections of friend
ship and of affiliations with which
his life was bound. The step
meant complete sacrifice, the hol-
Iocaust Of life's plans and ambi-
tfons; but the call Of the Truth
was too loud and too insistent to

THE DEATH OF FRIENDSHIP

Friendship writhed in agony on
his couch of pain. His face was
pallid, the eyes rolled with the
appeal Of distress, the muscles
twitched under the lash Of out
ragged nerves; the anguish Of
crushed soul left deep channels
on countenance famed for it's
loneliness and grace. Friend
ship had been sorely wounded,
and the wound was unto death.
Dissolution even how was slowly
but Indignantly creeping through
every fiber Of his being.
Friendship had two sons, twins;
their names, Courage and
Strength. Into their souls had he
poured all the affection and ten
derness, the sweetness and beauty
and ineffable charm of his own SUI
perb manhood. They were his
pride, were these sons, the light
of his existence, the goal of all eff
fort, the sole and exclusive reason
that spurred him ever ON from
achievement to achievement. For
them did he live, for their sakes
gladly would he die.
Strength and Courage passed
from infancy into the bloom of in
nocent childhood. Artless and af-
fectionate they grew ever more
like unto each other in feature,
form and in mind. Joyfully and
together did they enter through
the gladstone portals Of youth.
Never the merest wisp of a cloud
let f1ecked the azure blue of their
sky; never did will cross will, but
in perfect harmony and in silent
glee their thoughts, desires, aspir-
ations. harmless ambitions coursed
playfully through the self-same
channel. Mutual understanding
had touched perfection, not flaw
married the beauty of their living.
Then they quarreled. It was
but a trif1e. Strength aspired to
be Might; Courage pleaded in
vain the futility Of mere Might,
and sought to restrain the tower
ing pretense Of his brother. An
gered for a moment, Strength
hurled his dart. 1t sped swift
and true toward the mark; but
alas, Friendship had interviewed to
save his offspring, and Friendship
received the barbed point in his
bosom.
Aroused and shamed into horri-
fed penitence, Strength and Cour-
age bent low beside the couch Of
pain that embraced the most
priceless treasure in the world,
Friendship. Hot tears of sorrow
swept their blanched cheeks. Men
wondered at the terrible trans
formation Of this domestic group.
Strength and Courage prayed for
giveness and mercy; they prom
ised sacrifice, they plighted fdel-
ity; but their words, tinged with
remorse, fell upon unconscious
ears. Henceforth alone would they
wend their separate ways through
life s avenues of endeavor. Alone
would they lift the burdens that
fell to the lot Of each. Scared in
soul and poisoned in affection,
never more would the soft tones
Of mercy and forgiveness be
heard in their souls. Alas, the
tragedy of it all!
Friendship was dead.

PROCEEDS 100000
VATICAN CHOIRS WE'RE NOT
HERE TO MAKE MONEY.

The total receipts for the fifty-six
concerts of the Vatican Choirs aggre-
gated a little less than 100000, and
some idea of the expense and magni-
tude of the tournee is outlined with
the added announcement that the gen.
tlemen who financed it allege that
they did not make any profit SIN
fact, when the books are audited and
all accounts closed it will be found
that the bringing of the choirs from
Rome represented slight loss. AS
the tournee was not undertaken as a
money making enterprise, there has
been no complaint as to the financial
results

The paper shortage that is
threatened to wipe out several
thousand Of the smaller dailies
and weeklies, might be relieved by
stopping the two hundred news
papers classed as extraordinarily
radical under the secOnd-class
mail regulations Of the Post Of
flee Department. At hearing be-
fore the Judiciary Committee OF
the House in Washington, it was
shown that sixty-eight papers adj
vocated armed revolution to over
throw the Government. Twenty
eight of these are published and
controlled by the |. w. w. execu-
tive committee. It is a sad COM
mentary on our laws that the De
partment of Justice is without
power to proceed against these Sc
ditious publications. A bill by
Congressman Byrnes, Democrat,
of South Carolina, designed to put
an end to Red" atrocities, is
now pending. 1t ought to be
promptly passed.
