THE JUNE BRIDE.

Musical composers and their
productions enjoy popularity from
time to time. During the month
Of June, however, Mendelssohn
and Lohengrin are words that
make an annual bid for recogni-
ton. 1t is the month OF the June
bride, winsome, trustful, confid-
ing, and utterly oblivious to the
future. The dawn Of days to come
breaks with radiance and promise
Of happiness. The solemn but
joyful strains Of the haunting
melodies, as the blissful pair
trembles up the aisle, seem the
prelude to unending gladness.
Later on the poetry wears away,
and there remains the staid, lum-
boring prose. Frequently disillu-
sionment steps in; the ineffable
mysteriousness Of the whole mar
riage scheme appears in its real,
unadorned, practical nature, and
the happy pair is called upon to
take up the burdens OF everyday
existence. Then shall appear the
true character and disposition,
yea, the temperament OF each
party to the contract. The union
is forever, until death do them
part.
Here is where the Christian
principles of life come into active
play. The world says: Lightly
come, lightly go; one marriage IN
nine ends III the divorce court. SO
great is the appalling disaster that
follows the strains Of the wedding
march that it overcomes all world
ly bounds, and the world calls
respectable and clever those who
sever what God meant should re
main united. $50 prevalent is the
habit of divorce that society no

aforementioned average should
not be at least one dollar. Catho-
lies Of means who confine them
selves to few paltry dollars are
hardly doing their duty as it
should be performed.
The collection for the Holy Fa-
Their next Sunday, therefore,
should be in keeping with the
needs Of the Church itself.
America must cover the amount
lost through restitution in other
countries. America never fails in
a crisis, and this is crisis. Let

REV. ABRAM RYAN
TABLET TO POET-PRlEST OF
SOUTH ERECTED BY SOUTH
ERN SOCIETY.

Last Sunday afternoon bronze tab
let was erected in the Church of St.
Boniface, Louisville, Kentucky, in
honor of Father Abram J. Ryan,, the
famous poet-priest of the South. The
old parish house where Father Ryan
died occupied the site of the present
church. An elaborate ceremony, in.
charge of the Daughters of the Confed-
eracy, featured the dedication. The
Knights of Columbus and the Daugh-
tiers of Isabella assisted in the celebra

Father Ryan was born at Norfolk,
Virginia, August Is, 1889, and was or
dained in 1861. He entered the Con-
federate army as chaplain and served

eve of battle, and in the hour of final
defeat he won the hearts of the peo-

NOTED PASS|ON|ST DEAD
REV. JOHN JOSEPH HERTENBER.
GER DIED IN CHICAGO.

Sunday morning, May %, at G
o'clock, Father John Joseph Herten
berger, C. P, dropped dead while pre-
pairing to celebrate Holy Mass at Nor
wood Park, Chicago. For two years
he had been suffering with myocardi-
It's, and during that period had often
been in critical condition. Yet
when called Sunday morning he be-
gan preparing for Mass. A short while
after he swooned and fell Death
was immediate.
Father John Joseph was born in Kit
tanning, Pa, November 1, 1856. He
entered the Passionist Order in 1871,
was ordained priest May %, 1880.
Twenty years of his priestly career
were spent in Buenos Aires, South
America, where he did splendid work
as missionary among the Irish peo-
pie. About Is years ago he returned
to the United States and during this
time he held various offices in the
order, his last term as superior being
that of Rector of the St. Louis House,
1914-1917. He was remarkable for his
heroic patience, zeal for the Church
and souls, and childlike obedience.

the only living survivors of his imme-
diate family.

LENDING TO PETER.

Once a year we are called upon
to pay dues to the great society
to which we belong. Practically
every organization demands GER
tain fixed tribute in the form of
monthly or annual payment. This
is a debt of justice which the
member owes to the organization
in return for the benefit of asso-
citation. At the same time it is
needed to continue the work of
the society itself, whether that
society be literary, political, or
social. No one ever thinks of OBJ
jecting to a reasonable amount
imposed by the organization for
these purposes.
The head Of the worldwide or
gained Catholic Church is more
lenient than other executives. He
does not impose fixed dues or spe-
cited tithes: he but asks for sufi-
cient funds to carry on the work
committed to him as head Of the
Church. His personal expenses
are as small as those of a poor
man; the dues sent in to him are
at once expended for the benefit
of the Church itself. His balance
sheet shows how those funds are
disbursed: struggling mission
aries enabled to spread the Cos
pei; churches and chapels erected
in far corners Of the globe; wild
ows, orphans, poor Of all classes
furnished with the necessaries Of
life; victims Of famine, war, pes
thence and disease alleviated and
helped to maintain life; in a word,
the whole world becomes the bene-
ficiary Of the great almoner of
| Christ.
We are told that the contribu-
ton for the Holy Father in this
diocese last year would average
almost four cents a head; in other
dioceses perhaps the average
would be lower. What is to be
thought Of the member in large
organization who, not held to a
certain fixed amount, would meas
ure his loyalty by four cents.
That may represent the full
amount of religion possessed by
some persons, but it scarcely
would entitle such reckless
spendthrift to a special vote of
thanks from the organization.
During the war those who refused
to buy government bonds were

STRIKES FOR TEM-
PERANCE.

The "Jaffna Catholic" prints this
interesting bit of news:
"a remarkable boycott by Catholics
is in progress at Bassein, Bombay
Presidency. In the Bassein taluka'
there are about $4,000 Catholics,
mainly agriculturists, with a good
number of carpenters and shipwrights.
They are not teetotalers. Thriving
on the produce of their farms, or
chards and gardens and of their man
ual skill, they in turn patronized also
the toddy vendor. The government
recently changed the system of Ii
censing shops, leading to enormous
increases in revenue, that naturally
put up also the retail prices of liquor.

padre struck the iron while it was
hot When popular indignation over
the vendors avarice was at white
heat, the Catholics were assembled at

Papri, and there they solemnly re-
solved to eschew all spirituous drinks
as they would the evil spirit himself.
The boycott has caught on, other par
ishes are following suit, and once
temperance has the backing of public
opinion, half it's battle is Won"

longer looks upon this pagan and
sinful act as worthy of blame.
The Christian couple, however,
possess a sure anchorage in their
common faith. Differences may
arise: even st. Peter and st. Paul
had their disagreement, and the
Saints were not without their diff
ferences on occasion. But true
Christian charity and solid Chris
tian steadfastness quickly master
those divergences of nature and
disposition that are bound to
show up in the daily relations of
people living together. Pagan
marriages are ruled by pride: the
union Of the faithful is blessed by
the grace Of God, by those sacra-
mental helps that enable the true
believer to overcome his pride and
to submit in matters Of little i'm
port, for these usually are the
cause of family quarrels and
pickering.
The Catholic bride, therefore,
has much to hope for, little to
fear, and everything to gain if she
but remain faithful to her relig-
ious practices, and remember the
admonition to be subject with all
charity.

The priests of one of the local
parishes have undertaken visi-
tation of their parish, which ex-
tends not only to the Catholics
living in the district, but to every
one, says the Catholic Universe.
So far they have met with uni
form courtesy, and have found a
number of fallen-away Catholics
who were entirely unknown to the
parish records. Besides this, a
number of non-Catholics have
promised to attend Mass in the
parish church and come for in
struction in our holy faith. 1t is
certainly in the line Of priestly
zeal, and that it is a departure
from established procedure makes
it none the less praiseworthy. The
method is not new to pastors of
Protestant churches, and if this
delayed experiment on our part
proves successful, as it probably
will, it is only another verifcation
of the fact that ''the children Of
this world are wiser in their gen.
GRAFTON than the children of the
light. -

GIVING DRINK TO SOLDIERS

In the generous desire to do
everything possible for the re-
turned soldiers there is at times
a temptation to overstep the
proper bounds. Many war organi-
cations have continued their ac-
tivitles to the present day solely
for the purpose Of ministering to
the wants and the pleasures Of the
men who made the world safe for
democracy. At the same time
these organizations should not
permit their generosity to color
their judgment, to the detriment
of the soldier and the disgrace to
his uniform.
1t has become customary for
various societies to give the sol
diers in this city some kind Of an
outing. While this may be most
laudable undertaking, it seems
very unwise, to speak mildly, to
allow these soldiers to enter
saloons while wearing the uniform
and while in charge of welfare
committee.
While a long TRADE on the evils
of drink i'll any particular case
might be written, it seems suffi-
cient to note the fact and to call
it to the attention Of the different
welfare organizations that are do
ing nobly in providing recreation
and good cheer for our soldiers.
Surely were it a horrible thought
to admit while General Pershing
did so much to keep our soldiers
abroad sober and straight, it re-
manned for the welfare societies at
home to lead the soldiers into the
temptation to drink, yea, to fur
nish them with drink.

THE IRISH FLAG
is GREEN AND ORANGE WITH
WHITE BETWEEN-pES
1926 YEARS AGO.

A dispatch from Washington states
that the flag of the new Irish republic
has appeared there. Flags are com
mon sight in the nations capital, but
the tri-cOlor of the new Irish republic
attracted unusual attention as it flew
over the Irish national bureau.
The new Irish flag, despite reports
from abroad that Ireland could not
govern itself on account of religious
differences, typifes complete Irish
unity. Green and orange, with the
white of peace between, are Irelands
new national colors.
The sight of orange in the flag
caused great deal of comment, but
it was explained fully that Irishmen
both Catholic and Protestant, will nc
longer permit wornout shibboleths
and catch cries propagated by out
siders to stand in the way of the allie
glance which all Irishmen bear to
their native land.
1t is not a new flag 1t is over 125
years old. Irishmen, Catholic and
Protestant, have died for it in five
armed rebellions in the last 125 years
1t was designed by Wolfe Tone, the
great Protestant leader of Ireland in
1898, who paid with his life for his
patriotism.
The display cf the new flag created
a great deal of gossip in official cir
cles, intimating that the new republic
is reality and that it's right to free
dom may be forced on the peace con
ference

FORCED TO BEG.

One of the most pathetic sights
in our churches is that of the zeal
of the priest battling against the
flint of the congregation in the
matter Of ordinary justice. The
parish boasts a church edifice, a
rectory, a school, and perhaps a
home for the teachers. Such a
plant necessarily and obviously
requires material means for it's
proper maintenance. The whole
object and purpose of these build
ings and their activities is to pro-
mote the welfare of the very peo-
pie who Sunday after Sunday sit
contentedly in their pews, and
from time to time listen stolidly
to the imprisoned pleas of their
priests for help and assistance in
carrying on the work that is in
tended for them alone.
From a business viewpoint it
seems incredible that so much
energy must be expended by the
priest in convincing his hearers
that cold buildings require heat,
darkness must be dispelled by
light, teachers must be fed and
clothed, and mortgages wiped out
by financial liquidation. The same
people scarcely need a reminder
that such and similar bills usually
are met by themselves with
prompt payment without pleading
Oh the part of their creditors.
Our Catholic people have alto
gether the wrong point of view :
they willingly permit their
priests to become beggars, where
as they should be covered with
shame to have it known that they
themselves are possessed of so lit
tie business acumen. The minister
Of God should never be obliged to
mention money in the church dedi-
Gated to the worship Of God. And
yet, in the ordinary congregation
it becomes the disagreeable duty
Of the priest to be forced to urge
his people to pay their just debts.
He must plead, scold, Wheedle and
implore his people to do what
their ancestors i'll the faith read
lily and spontaneously did without
solicitation on the part Of their
pastors. Then he is forced to
supplement the niggardliness Of
the congregation by social affairs,
and in this way buy their help,
whereas it should be offered with
out coercion.
If each Catholic would take
this consideration to heart and act
upon it's suggestiveness we soon
would witness greater prosperity
in our parishes. Long-standing
mortgages would disappear, new
activities would be inaugurated
for the betterment Of the Church,
the people would be spared the
constant appeal for money, and
the priest could raise his head
with dignity, feeling that to his
other troubles and worries he is
not obliged to add the thought
that he is a beggar.

COLLEGE OF ST. THOMAS
DEDICATION OF THE CHAPEL
ARCHBISHOP BOWLING OFF,
CIATED-HoME COMING DAY,
MAY 20,

On Thursday morning, May 20, His
Grace Archbishop Bowling, dedicated
the new st. Thomas College chapel and
off1ciated at the Pontifical High Mass
following the dedication services. The
professors and students of the ST.
Paul Seminary were guests of the
occasion, and also a number of the
friends and benefactors of the Col
lege were present. At the Mass Rev
John Dunphy was assistant priest
Rev. Joseph Gibbs and Rev. George
Keefe, of the Seminary, were deacon
and subdeacon, respectively. Rev
Walter DAILY, Of the College, was mas
ter of ceremonies.
The sermon, which we reproduce in
this issue, was preached by the Right
Reverend John ]. Lawler, Bishop OF
Lead. Bishop Lawler was in the early
days of his priesthood a professor al
the College.
The chapel was the last completed
work of Mr.. Masqueray and does
credit to that eminent architect II
is an exquisite example of the basilica
style, simple, stately, and beautiful in
all its lines. Six chapels in the nave
and two in the transepts, with the
main altar, give scope for the celebra
ton of nine Masses simultaneously
The pews, confessionals, and pipe
organ have been installed for some
time, and the main altar of carrare
marble, the gift of a generous bene
factor, has been quite recently erected
When the side chapels will be com
pleted and fine set of stations
erected, the st. Thomas chapel will be
amongst the most beautiful of the
Northwest.
Homecoming Day attracted many
of the former students to their Alma
Mater. The banquet was served il

is an important venture. 1t consists
of a seminary for priests, who will

hood while following the university
courses. The old palace of Bishop
King has been secured. This stands
in st. Aldate's and was built in 1913,
the arms of the Bishop appearing on
the fine roof which covers premises
now divided into dwelling houses and
shops.
A chapel is to be built on the site of
the old stables in the rear of the prem

RULING THE UNIVERSE.

Philosophers and statesmen
from time immemorial have en-
deavored to formulate laws that
would stabilize society and pro-
mote happiness and brotherhood
among men. They have failed
miserably. They have found it
impossible to lay down precepts
that the majority of men were
willing to embrace and follow. In
all their researches and studies,
however, they have overlooked
one potent means: the graduate
From a thousand rostrums dur
ing the present month a thousand
mighty graduates will thunder
forth the principles Of human
brotherhood. They will tell the
waiting and breathless audiences
just how nations are to be gov
erned, how peoples should be
ruled, how the planets should rum
in a word, how the universe itself
should be kept in equilibrium.
On the proud day of commence
ment the Omniscient graduate
stands before a startled world as
a prodigy Of wisdom: the next
day he is lost with the myriads
of graduates Of yesteryear. The
day of bidding farewell to his
alma mater is indeed a day Of
commencement, a beginning Of
that life for which he has made
long preparations. 1t is the day
upon which the world beckons to
him in two ways: inviting him
towards work and success or
towards idleness and pleasure.
Here is where his 'fancied wisdom
is put to the test, where he is
called upon to make choice Of the
path that he will follow to the
end.
The world is filled to overflow
ing with mediocrity; it teens
with countless wrecks of highest
promise in their earlier years; it
is strewn with the blighted hopes
and loves and ambitions Of
thoughtless and erring mortals
The real men and women are not
they alone who have forged ahead,
through worth or intrigue, to the
foremost places in human society
They are the men and women who
possess deep down in their souls
the principles Of rectitude and up
rightness, who pattern their con-
duct after the standard Of right
and wrong, who live their lives
according to the Masters teach
ing.
Wealth and power, social posi-
ton and honors are not by any
manner Of means the test Of sue
cess. Diogenes in his tub was
more happy and content than
Alexander in his quest for new
worlds. Anthony in his Thebaid
was a more successful man, lived
more useful life than many a
Caesar in the courts Of Rome. And
many a man and woman plodding
along through the intricate
mazes Of existence, faithfully and
cheerfulIy, is far more successful
as human being than countless
creatures running after baubles
and grasping after empty glory.

Between Camp Dix and Philadelphia
City Hall there is a telephone wire,
especially leased by the Knights of

home. 1t is said that this wire pull
safes with more heart throbs than any

wire in the country.
One man, who had learned that his
son had been killed overseas, tele-
phoned the Knights of Columbus booth
to get what information he could re-

had been with him in battle. He was
astounded to hear the voice of his
own son over the wire in response to
his inquiry.
