POPE ADVISES BISHOPS
ASKS FRENCH TO ADOPT ROMAN
PRONUNCIATION.

There has appeared in a recent num-
Der of La CroiX'' an interesting ac-
count of the audience of the Cardinal
Archbishop of Rouen with the Pope.
In farewell interview the Holy
Father placed in the hands of the
Cardinal letter written with the
Pope's own hand, containing an earn
est recommendation to the French
clergy to adopt the Roman pronuncia-
tion of Latin. Such a step would facili-
tate the intelligibility of Latin as
spoken in France and so far promote
the ready oral ntercommunication of
the clergy there with their brethren
in all other countries.

tribute to the work which Archbishop
Ireland performed for the cause of

bishop Ireiand's achievements would,
in his estimation, be the most per
manent and fruitful. The Importance
of sound Christian Education, espe-
cially in the present times and in view
Of existing world conditions, was de-
veloped by the Archbishop, who
pointed out that radical movements
like Bolshcvism We're largely the up
rising of youth against established

From frail outpost to yeritable
fortress it grew under the beneficent
eye and fostering hand of the great
churchman, Archbishop Ireland, the
Apostle of Democracy and American
ism, the last of the great medieval
prelates and the first of modern
churchmen. Like a lonely sentinel of
Rome he stood guard in rude pioneer
days over this rugged Western wild.
Here with a prophets ken he laid the
humble foundation Of this College,
watched it through days of storm and
stress, shaped its ideals, and destined
it for Il noble future. Whatever of

The reading of the solemn decree
in Rome closes canonization process
in which the interest of the entire
world has been centered, for far be-
yond the borders of her native France

Church a maid who was the heroic
inspiration Of France in her great
struggle during the past four wears.
Another OF the most notable figures
Of history is added to the communion
OF the saints. 1t illustrates the tire
less zeal of the Church that a holy
life should be duly recognized, that
every injustice should be righted.
Joan, the warrior, canonized! How
completely that overthrows the notion
that personal sanctity is possible only
in the retired life of the religious, only
for the hermit.

Where erst, at noon, the night its mantle flung
Der the Divine Humanity that hung
To brutal gaze exposed. The conscious light

Impatient for the soul s descending flight

In shades of DEATH the light of life to find.

of Ste-Catherine-de-Fie 1t was

fact connected with this early stage

Born at Domremy.

Joan of Arc was born at Domremy
in Champagne, in 1412. Jacques dare,
Joan's father, was a small peasant
farmer, poor but not needy. She
never learned to read or write, but
she was skilled in sewing and spin
ming, and the popular idea that she
spent the days Of her childhood in the
pastures, alone with the sheep and
cattle, is quite unfounded. All the
witnesses in the process of rehabilita-
tion spoke of her as singularly pious
child, grave beyond her years, who
often knelt in the church absorbed in
prayer, and loved the poor tenderly.
Great attempts were made at Joan's
trial to connect her with some super
stitious practices supposed to have
been performed round a certain tree,
popularity known as the Fairy Tree"
VArbre des Dames), but the sincerity
of her answers baffled her judges.

October, 1929, and by the close of
the year complete defeat seemed i'm

Domremy in January, 1929, and again
visited Vaucouleurs. Baudricourt was
still skeptical, but, as she stayed on
in the town, her persistence gradually
made an impression on him. On Feb.

feat which had befallen the French
arms outside Orleans (the Battle OF

him without hesitation amidst grouI

be employed in military operations
she was sent to Poictiers to be exam

animation was of the most searching
and formal character. The theologians
found nothing heretical in her claims
to supernatural guidance, and, with

her mission, they thought that she
might be safely employed and further

Many Leona, daughter of Thomas
and Amanda Simpson, was born in
Carroll County, Tennessee, August

came obe1ient to the gospel and was
a lifelong devoted member of the
Body of Christ. On October IL, 1908,
she was married to w. J. johnson,

saw fit to call her spirit to dwell in
the celestial home of the soul. This
