THE SOLDIERS GRATITUDE

Shall we be thankless to the Goo
boys? Or will those men of ours, sc
sternly brave when they marched
away from us, SO glorious in battle
and now SO joyous in their return
will they stain a glorious record by
| showing at the last the mean spirit
of ingratitude?
Well, the joy and the gaiety and the
fun of reunion will serve as an easy
cover for the forces of evil to glide
about our cities and bite and sting
with deadly venom the care-free boys
who come to us again, drawing them
into the basest ingratitude of sin
against the God Who has done so
much for them
Is it not an admirable thought, then,
to turn the minds of these men up
ward to God? Indeed, their thoughts
have been upward, more, far more
than our own perhaps; for they have
stood amid dangers that make men
look into the deep realities of Eter-
nifty. But let them see that we, too,
have been looking upward; and bid
them now look upward with us in pure
gratitude to the God Who brings them
home TO us safe and strong.
1t was no doubt considerations such
as these that led the pastor of the
Pro-Cathedral of ST. Mary in Mime
apolis to announce last Sunday SOL
emn act of public thanksgiving to God
in the Pro-Cathedral Church at the
close Of the public parade. When the
uniformed heroes of the day are sepa-
rating from one another and seeking,
each one by himself, the phantoms of
enjoyment, then is the very time to
itual, a supernatural character about
the work they have done: that they
have been, and still are, instruments
in the all powerful, all merciful hand
Of God.
If our soldiers JOY is to be filled
and if the JOY of the community is
to be such that none can take it from
us, their JOY and ours must be the
JOY of gratitude.
Our own gratitude will ennoble us;
the gratitude of the soldier will purify
and humble and strengthen him. He
Will, when his heart is attuned to
gratitude, shrink from offending by
vice and self-indulgence the God to
whom he owes so much; his thankful
heart will recognize his utter depend
ence upon God for the grandeur of his
record overseas, and will take on new
depths of determination to be loyal
% Gods law.
BY all means then let the fine en-
huSiaSm of our returned heroes eX-
)resS itself in public act of solemn
thanksgiving as Il climax to the civic
jarade And if the spacious structure
cannot hold oil the soldiers and their
friends, their very presence outside
will be a public profession of thanks
giving, q public act of gratitude to
God for the glories of our own, the

GREEKS At Conference
RUMORED HOLY PLACES IN PAL
ESTINE ARE TO BE GIVEN TO
GREEK ORTHODOX CHURCH.

Much interest and comment has
been excited by the arrival at the
Peace Conference of the Archbishop
| of Brousea sent by the Greek Ortho-
| doX Patriarch of Constantinople, who
| rules over three million Greeks in the
Turkish empire. This Patriarch takes
civil precedence of those of Jerusalem,
Antioch and Alexandria by reason of
the fact that he is looked upon as the
civil head of the Greeks also. He
AYERS however, that in sending a dele
gate to the Peace Conference he has
only done SO in his official religious
capacity to demonstrate the desire of
the people to be placed under Greek
rather than Turkish rule
People are asking in Paris, how
ever, if the patriarch is represented
as a religious authority why is not
the Father of all Christendom repre-
scented. Moreover there are sinister
rumors that certain interests at the
Peace Conference wish to transfer the
charge of the holy places to the Greek
Orthodox Church entirely, an action
which international Catholicism should
resist. And even if the charge is con-
firmed to the Latins there seems to
be more trouble ahead between the
Allies, for it is also rumored that it is
proposed to take the custodianship of
the holy places from the Italian Fran
ciscans, who have had it for so long,
and give it to the French LaZarists.

her Superior to the Colored Catholic
School Of Memphis, Tenn. A year ago
she died, labCring almost TO the day
Of her death among her little charges
At the time of the death of this
good woman the colored people Of the
community realized that a great fac

was taken from them, while the COM

Mary Hilda's guidance by certain un-

KNIGHTS ARE WITH ARMY OF
OCCUPATION IN GERMANY
ONE HUNDRED SECRETARIES
HELP TROOPS OPERATIONS
BEYOND THE RHINE ARE IN
CHARGE OF LOCAL MAN

Since the beginning Of American
occupation of Germany the Knights Of
Columbus force has steadily grown
until today at Coblenz there is an
Independent headquarters of the Or
ganization, with it's own complete
equipment. The operations beyond
the Rhine are under the immediate
apolis. He has under his control a
force of over 100 secretaries. This
quota would be much larger were it
possible to obtain men for the work.
So great has been the need of labor
that German civilians in large num-
Der are employed in the warehouse
and about the clubs in lesser capacity.
The entire operation of the Army
of Occupation is directed from head
quarters in CCblenz. The city is,
therefore, a leave area, and daily over
5000 soldiers have enjoyed the lib
erty Of the city. These men come
from the far districts of the army,
from Treves and the camps situated
is a mighty army that the American
service organization must make as
comfortable as their means will per-
NIT while they await the word to start
for home.
The men come from the outlying
camps in the big fleet Of river boats
plying the Rhine and Moseile rivers.
They are met by men of the Knights
of Columbus and from their arrival in
Coblenz or Treves, the second leave
center Of the area, they are urged to
make the headquarters and club of
the organization their homes.
AT Cobenz the visiting soldiers are
i, billeted in a huge structure formerly
known as the Florient Magazine, and
there is room for 1900 men every
night, In this big warehouse nearly
10000 doughnuts are fried on some
days. The entire output of each day
is sent to given soldier unit in the
occupied district At their destina-
ton these delicacies are distributed
by the head of the Knights of Column
bus secretaries in each club house.
In Coblenz, before the war, there
was maintained one of the finest
municipal baths in all Germany. The
big structure now is in the hands OF
the knights of Columbus, who are
providing for every modern bath,
needle, shower, tub, medicated or just
plain old-fashioned sponge and rub
for over 500 soldiers every hour.
At the enlisted mems club there are
eight large rooms, where every want
of the soldier is supplied. There is
also an officers club nearby.
Across the Moselle from CoblenZ is
a large American garrison, the sol,
diers of which are not permitted to
cross the river Four club houses
have been established at that post for
the enlisted men and a large club has
! recent, been opened Tor officers.

PRO-CATHEDRAL OF ST. MARY

GRAND THANKSGIVING FOR SOL
DlERS' RETURN-GRATIT OF
ALL SHOULD BRING THOU
SANDS TO THE PRESENCE OF
GOD.
(Communicated.)

| When the 151st gets back to the
Twin Cities there will be a joyous
| beating of glad hearts, fervent clasp
ing OF friendly hands, sweet reunions,
and alas! here and there, grieving,
! lonely longings for the gallant lads
that sleep across the seas There will
be public receptions and private par
ties and family reunions; there will
be speech making, and eulogies, and
the telling OF tales that will thrill the
hearts OF those who love and admire
these men of ours who showed them
selves the bravest Of the brave.
But above all the joys Of reunion,
above the pride we may take in our
returned men, above the gaiety and
gladness that will ripple across the
surface of the community's life, there
should rise the deep, unwavering,
solemn note of gratitude to Cod The
God of justice Who drew these men
OF ours from the fond clasp of parent
and Of wife and child: the God of
purity and innocence, Who severed
for time the tenderest ties of home
that these men might fight for the
innocence and purity Of homes. The
God of battles put courage into their
hearts and steel into their hands, and
gave them wise and virtuous leaders
that they might battle glorously for
all the sacred things we love. Yes,
and while they fought and suffered
and stumbled among the shell-holes
and the CHASTITY torn bodies of their
with shells bursting
above them and gases creeping about
them, God was watching over these
our boys that are coming home to
US now. And because He kept them
safe they are soon to be with us again
It was God that led them safe across
the dangers of the deep, it was in the
cause of God they followed their de-
voted leaders like the Crusaders of
old, and it is to God they owe the
slories Of a victory-sWift decisive,
clean, and unstained by vindictive re-
yenge against PROSTATE foe.
And when thoy return, the welcome |!
Of their home must be one solemn ,
PAGAN Of gratitude to God. Gratitude |
is dear 10 the heart Of God and heauti- |
ful in the eyes Of men. 1T is the |
saircst flower that sheds sweet per |
tune about our lives. The thankful |
soul is always a noble soul and the |
giving Of thanks ennobles every human |
1eing. Conversely, too, the thankless |
soul is mean and Sordid and quickly |
,lides into bascness.
