A UNIQUE PILGRIMAGE
TEN THOUSAND TYROLESE TAKE
PART IN REMARKABLE DEMON
sTRATloN AT THE SHRINE OF
ABSAM.

A touching picture of the deep faith
in Tyrol is reported from Innsbruck,
anent great pilgrimage of ten thou
sand people to the little shrine of
Absam, close to the historic and quaint
city of Hall. The purpose of the
gathering was pictured in his sermon
by Coadjutor- Bishop DR.. Waltz as a
direct appeal to Almighty God toward
a reunion of the separated and an
nexed parts of the South Tyrol, which
the Peace Treaty of Versailles gave
to Italy, irrespective of the German
birth and affiliations of hundreds of
thousands of it's inhabitants.
The miraculous picture of the
Blessed Virgin at Absam appeared in
1896 on "a window-pane, when Tyrol
was threatened with extinction by the
French. AS she then relieved the
sorely pressed people from their op-
pressor, so now the Catholic faithful
Tyrolese put their trust in the Mother
of Sorrows to alleviate the monstrous
wrong done their brethren south of
the Bremen. Hundreds of American
priests, who studied in Innsbruck and
who have many times made the pill
grimage to Absam, will surely give
this important petition of their pleas
ant former hosts the support OF prayer
at the altar of God.

CUNNING FOR ORGENTALS.

From time to time reports have
come out Of the Far East that the
money and supplies collected in
this country for the suffering Ar
menians have been diverted into
sectarian channels. 1t has been
stated more than once that the
Protestant sects have utilized this
method in trying to win over the
starving peoples Of those historic
countries. The report is often de-
MED, and again it hobs up. Some
time ago Mgr. Dolci, Apostolic
Delegate at Constantinople, de-
MED that such discrimination was
practiced by the sects. That de-
NAL seemed to settle the matter
There appears little doubt that
the Committee for Armenian Re-
lief, soliciting help in this coun-
try, is actuated by the very high
est motives. It's personnel and
methods are strictly honorable
The same, however. does not ap-
pear to be true Of those who ac-
tually dispense the charity abroad
The Apostolic Delegate at Bey-
routh, Syria, wrote a strong letter
on October 20 Of this year, in
which he deplores the vicious tao
tics used by the secretaries in dis
tributing the aims collected here
for all the suffering alike. He
warns Catholics of the manner in
which their charity is abused by
the field secretaries in the East
stating that apostasy Of Catholics
is what is asked in order to emit,
tie them to a little relief sent them
by Catholics here.
! Naturally, such charges will be
denied by those who are chiefly
concerned. They are on a leve1
with the wonderful "patriotic'
work done by a certain welfare
organization among our soldiers
abroad. This particular agency
received contributions from Amer
leans at home to be given free tC
American soldiers abroad. The
world knows how, on countless oc
casions, these gifts were sold by
the contemplate agents of Amer
lean generosity, sold to the suf
fering and the dying, denied ever
to the suffering unless paid for il
real cash. What such scoundrels
did in Europe is easily under
stood in Asia. ,~
If you wish to contribute to the
alienation Of misery in Armenia
or Syria, send your offering
through the proper channels.

APPEAL Of v|NCENT|ANS
PARTICULAR COUNCIL ST. vim.
CENT DE PAUL SOCIETY OF THE
CITY OF MINNEAPOLIS ASKS
FOR HELP IN ITS GREAT WORK
OF CHARITY.
Minneapolis.

Minneapolis.
Dear Friend:
Each year since its formation the
Particular Council of st. Vincent de
Paul Society at Christmas time has
appealed to the charitably disposed
for funds to carry on it's work in Min
neapolis. 1t has heretofore been ex-
planned, and we think it is now gen.
orally known, that this society pays
particular attention to the work
OF the city missionary, and our annual
report shows in detail how the funds
subscribed have been disposed of. In
each parish where there is a confer
ence of this society the people are
familiar with the work, and it there
fore seems unnecessary to go into
further detail.
The response made to our appeal
last year was so small that it was
necessary for the city missionary,
Father Driscoll, to raise by entertain
ments and other means, sufficient
money to carry on the work of the
st. Charles mission and his juvenile
court work. Our treasurer's report,
which is printed and circulated in our
annual report, shows how few con-
tributors there are. We hope this
year to approach the mark set by ST,
Paul where over 100000 a year is
regularly contributed by a large list
of patrons.
The city missionary asks for $4,000
10 ri do 1,s
year 1920. The scope of his work
is outlined in detail in his letter to
the society. 1t ought not be neces-
sary to make an urgent appeal to Sc
cure this money, because at this sea-
son those who have been blessed with
prosperity should especially remem-
Der the poor, and the society feels no
hesitation in asking you to make
donation within your means, and in
this way not only help to bring joy
to some of the poor but to make the
city missionary feel that we are inter
ested in his work, and that we are
willing to contribute our means and
our time to help in carrying it on. 1t
would seem that he should be relieved
from the necessity of financing his
own work, and that his time should be
free to devote to the great charity in
which he is so deeply interested.
Will you kindly help to make up
this sum of $4,000 by sending dona-
ton to our treasurer, Mr. John nj.
Gleason, III South 9th street, or to
any of the officers offs this organiza-
ton, or to your pastor. You could
also help by calling the attention of
others to this appeal, and we trust
the response will be generous and
general that the work may not fail
| for lack of funds.
Sincerely yours,
PETER CARTER,
Secretary.

CATHOLIC PLAYS
TATION LAUNCHED IN NEW
YORK.

A project to present series of
Catholic plays, of interest through
their religious character to millions
of Americans, was launched at the
Thanksgiving luncheon of the Catho-
lie Actors Guild at the Hotel Astor
in New York. The idea was promul-
gated by the founder of the body, Rev.
John Talbot Smith, in addressing the
two hundred members present. There
was a demand for such productions,
Father Smith declared, from 100000
persons in this country. The presen-
tation of such plays, he said, would
do away with the present condition of
frivolity in the theatre, which pre-
sents the spectacle of ''clever men
acting to audiences of idiots.
Addresses also were made by Ethel
Barrymore, who received large bou-
quet of flowers from the guild; Mgr.
Dunn, Chancellor of the diocese; Viii
ton Lackaye, Augustus Thomas, Rev.
Francis P. Duffy and Alfred Hender-
son. Brandon lyman presided.

The Coadjutor Archbishop of
Melbourne has been, as always,
speaking to the point-this time
on the subject Of profiteering,
which exists in free Australia as
well as in the old country. His
Grace said: "The profteers and
the Bolsheviki are to be dealt with
drastically. Moreover, we are
told that profteering is the root
cause of Bolshevism. [ quite
agree with that. And | think, too,
that if the powers that be, or that
are to be, would concentrate their
efforts upon the profiteers they
would then find that in Australia
Bolshevism, as it is represented to
us, has no existence. Australians
are, as body, a law-abiding peo-
Pile, who do not want anarchy or
disorder; they want fair play
and that will satisfy them. I
trust, however, that the profiteer-
ing which is to be dealt with is
not merely what is known as war
profteering. There was profiteer-
ing before the war-it was largely
responsible for the grossly I'M
equal distribution of wealth; and
until some way is found for check
ing it, there will be no rest and
abiding peace in the community.

Very good advice is given the
Methodists by "The Catholic
News" of New York, when it
says: "The Methodists are plan
ming to expend eight million dol
lars to convert the Mexicans.
In view of the fact that not ten
thousand Methodists go to their
churches on Sunday in the great
city Of New York, where there are
over $50 Methodist Episcopal
churches, not including the Afri-
can section, it seems that it might
be well for the Methodists to
spend a few millions on home
missions for the purpose of max
ing their own communicates at
tend the Church services. In the
United States the white Method
lists have about 100000 members
and over $4,000 ministers. There
is minister for every 270 Meth
odists. Their Church property is
valued at about $23O,OOO,OOO
There is only one Catholic priest
for about every 700 Catholics
But the Catholics go to church

come Methodists fall into the
Methodist ways of not attending
church services in the cities the

THE LITTLE SIX.

One Of the principles of demo-
cratic government is to give a re-
spectful hearing to a serious mi
nority. The majority is not neces-
sarily always right: the minority
also has some rights.
Recently the President of the
Irish Republic toured this country
in the interests of the vast major
ity of his people. He unfolded
their plans and their aspirations,
and he told how a small minority
in the North opposed these aspira-
tions. Naturally, we expected in
time to hear from this minority,
and 10! they have already arrived.
A layman led by six ministers, or
vice versa, has come to tell us just
what Ulster wants. AS impartial
beings we are anxious to hear
their arguments: as rational be-
ings we shall not be convinced by
the rawlings Of fish women, clerical
or lay.
In the first place, the Obstetrics
have maintained that the Irish
question is outside the realm Of
religion. Then why send a delega-
ton six-sevenths Of which is COM
posed Of clergymen. Had De
Valera been accompanied by six
priests they would have been re-
ceived far less warmly in this
country. Even Catholics would
not have approved such mission
airy enterprise. But then perhaps
the work Of the six will take the
form Of revival meetings: in that
case we are wrong in our judg-
ment
Again. Scarcely had the mys-
tic seven stepped upon our hospit-
able shores than, according to the
1press, they fired a broadside-a
kind Of salvo in their own honor.
They announced to a waiting ma
ton that the work Of the Sim
Fem in Ireland lis not supported
nor respected by the better type
of people in Ireland, whether Cath
Ollie or Protestant. If that be
true, then "the better type of peo-
lple' in that little island forms
only twenty per cent, for statistics
|show that eighty per cent of the
Irish were behind the Sim Fem
program in the recent elections.
What hurts more is the conclusion
that Cardinal Logue, the Bishops
and clergy do not belong to the
better type, for they also stand
with the Sim Fein. Sure, It's a

cent Of the inhabitants demand
their freedom, while the better

Right Rev. Paul Matthews,
Bishop of the Episcopalian Do
cese of New Jersey, in an address,
delivered at Atlantic City last
week, made the following decla-
ration, which is as true as it is
courageous: Zone thing we need
today is holy matrimony. The
present divorce laws legalize con-
secutive polygamy. The only
country in the world, where more
divorces are granted than in
America, is Japan; and [ now fear
we have passed Japan's record. .
The tolerance of the crime Of di-
vorce by the non-Catholic
churches is responsible, in great
measure, for this unsavory record.

The progress Of England
towards sheer paganism continues
at an alarming rate, says a Lon
don writer. An Anglican divine,
backed by a Presbyterian, has
proposed that, in order to attract
young people to the Church, the
places of worship should be turned
into dancing halls during the
week. Indeed, the Presbyterian
says they already do dance in
their kirk in Scotland; and five
shilling tickets and jazz bring the
people in crowds.
