An EASTER BAZAAR
CHURCH OF THE INCARNATION
WILL HOLD FIRST AFFAIR OF
THIS KIND IN TEN YEARs-WlLL
OPEN APRIL %.

While the solemnities of Holy Week
have been observed in the new Church
Of the Incarnation in Minneapolis,
the men and women of the parish
have been quietly but energetical-
ly pushing forward their prepa-
rations for the first bazaar the parish
has had in nearly ten years. The
bazaar will open Tuesday evening,
April %.
The sub-auditorium has been trans
formed and already resembles a fairy
palace with its many shelf-lined
booths and airy arches. And While
the men of the parish have thus been
working and building every night, al
most until midnight the women have
been sewing and collecting until they
have amassed a great wealth of goods
with which to adorn the shelves and
load the tables The Fancy Goods
booth has already over 600 pieces of
artistic needle work; the country store
occupies a very large space. The
women who are preparing for the
big dinner Tuesday evening, the open
ing night, will have force of nearly
a hundred walters on their twenty
tables. The st. Thomas College or
chestra of twenty-siN pieces will be on
hand to furnish the music.
The general chairman for the bazaar
is Mrs. E. c. Larpenteur assisted by
Mrs. J. P. Zerwas. There is q squad
of workers for every booth the chair
men of which are as follows: Fancy
work booth. Mrs W. E. Gaspard;
aprons and caps, Mrs. E. w. Rhom-
berg; candy, Mrs. Anna Smith; Japa-
nese, Miss Katherine BoWe; comfort

ANOTHER ENEMY
NEW CONSTITUTION OF URUGUAY
MOST HOSTILE TO CHURCH.

The correspondent of the London
Times in a long dispatch from Monte
Video states that the new Uruguayan
Constitution came into force on March
!. Among the many reforms embodied
in the new Constitution, says the cor
respondent, is the separation Of
Church and State, which means that
the Catholic Church, to which quite
fOur-fifths Of the population OF the re-
public belong, will enter upon one of
those perilOus times that inevitably
follow a separation Of this kind. 1t
would appear, so the dispatch says,
that the government has already
shown decided disposition to inter
pref the separation as authorizing it
to adopt a hostile and repressive atti-
tude towards religion. 1t has brought
forward antireligious measures that
have given great offense to the ma
jority OF the people, such as the pro
posed prohibition Of all teaching by
the clergy or members of the religious
orders, and a proposal to abolish all
public holidays of religious origin.
There is, it would appear, a pros
pect that in Uruguay the conditions in
Mexico will be repeated, and that an
era of religious intolerance, and par
ticularly anti-Catholicism, is immi-
nent.

WHO'S WHO IN EASTERN
EUROPE
RACIAL AND RELIGIOUS MARKS
OF PEOPLES OF HISTORIC
LANDS.

The Universe of London has just
published some interesting figures con-
corning the religious position in both
the Czecho-Slovak and the Jugo-Slav
states.
The old national frontiers of central
and eastern Europe being now thrown
into the melting pot, it may be useful
to marshal the following details con-
corning the peoples and races in
volved. Such names as Slav Cor Sla-
vonic), Jugo-Slavs, Slovenes, Slovaks,
Czecho-Slovaks, ETC., are probably a
puzzle to some of our readers. Yet
most of those peoples compose one
large family of some 40 millions-the
Slav race-the largest in Europe. 1t
may be divided into three groups:
1. Eastern Slavs: (a) The Rus
slams, including Little Russians, and
White Russians of the Ukraine; CD
Ruthenes (Ruthenians)- the Russians
hitherto under Austria Mixed with
this group are three million or SO
Firms and Tatars (Tartars), the last
named remnant of the Mongol inva-
sion in the thirteenth century. 2.
Northwestern Slavs: ca Poles (15
millions), inhabiting the basin of the
Vistula CD High and Low Serbs or
Wends, otherwise Lusitzi, or natives of
Lusatia, now divided between SaXony
and West Prussia, and thus hemmed
in by Germans; Co Kashubes (200,-
000) on the Baltic coast northwest
from Danzig, and inland to Konitz, 68
miles southwest of the former town;

JUST MILITARY RULE TOWARDS
PEOPLE.

Cardinal LOgue, in his Lenten pas
distracted state" and that there is not
any prospect of improvement in the
near future.
Improvement cannot reasonably be
expected" the Cardinal says, while
the country continues, as in the past,
to be governed, almost exclusively, in
the interests Of a small minority of
it's people, and deprived of what is now
emphatically proclaimed to be the
birthright of every free nation, full
and adequate control of it's internal
affairs. One would have little con-
fidence in a physician who would put
his patient when he becomes delirious,
in straight Jacket instead of applying
those remedies which go to the root
of the disease. That is precisely the
treatment to which Ireland has been
subjected, fa.' beyond the range of liv-
ing memory; neglect of every remon-
STRANGE, refusal, or evasion, of every
till the people are goaded into wild
courses; and then stern repression.
I'VE have an instance of this just
now. We are not ruled by the ordi
nary law, but subjected to a drastic
military code, code under which
actions otherwise harmless or trivial
become grave offenses and are pitiless-
ly punished. No doubt those charged
with the unpleasant duty of admins
tering this law do so honestly and in
accordance with their rules; but their
standards are those of strict military
discipline, not those of civil life
Hence the striking disproportion be-
tween offenSe and punishment which
so often eXcites establishment

this afflction' in Christian spirit,
seeking above all things, to keep the
peace. They should not expose them
selves recklessly to those severe pun
ishmentS by needless assemblies, gath
erings, or other practices which serve
no useful purpose, remembering that
turmoil and disorder have never pro-
NOTED any good cause"
He warns the people not to join
secret societies, which are seldom

CHURCH AND WORKING CLASSES

formed by the children of today will
have just that amount Of good in it as
is represented by the education that
the children of today receive. Pre-
eminent. then, Is the importance that
the children and youth today should be
educated on principles Of religion and
Well-dOing. To that end is required
the generosity of the rich, patience on
the part of the teachers, care on the
part of all, that from a religious basis
OF education today may result an i'm
proved future for society.
The Working Classes.
And the working classes, who form
such an important part of society-do
they not deserve special attention on
the part of all who are trying to pro-
mote its interests? They deserve it
for their own sakes alone and on ac-
count of the trickery practiced on
them by false friends. The working
man can not be ignorant that the
Church has always looked on him with
special affection. In our own days a
Pontiff of glorious memory took up the
cause Of the Workingman and upheld
his just claims. But it would be a
great mistake to think that, with the
death Of Leo XIII there was an end to
the protection of the working classes
by the Church Our immediate Pred
ecessor proclaimed its continuance in
solemn documents; and we gladly
take the occasion given us by this
great assembly of Catholics to declare
that the Encyclical 'Rerum Novarum,
maintains today all it's old strength,
because it expresses today, too, the
maternal benevolence and the watch
full care Of the Church for the working
classes
