New Carmelite Head.-The Carmel |,
tie Order has held it's Provincial
Chapter in Rome, Father Lorenzoni !
presiding. Father Pietro Fralleone |
has been elected Provincial of the |
Roman Province.
Oriental PreIate in Paris.-Most |
Rev. DR.. Zuchetti, Archbishop of
Smyrna, age 80, has arrived in Paris.
In 1895 he saved the lives of ten
thousand Armenians by raising the
French flag over the schools where
the refugees had taken shelter.
Numerous and important Oriental
prelates arrived in Paris recently, to
give their evidence before the Peace
Commission of the Oriental question.
France rather welcomes such evil
dence, and created Archbishop Zuc
chetti Chevalier of the Legion of
Honor.
The Original Church of St. Angus
tine.-In 1914 some remarkable dis
coveries were made at Canterbury on
the site of the abbey church of st.
Augustine. The foundations of the
church built by Abbot Wulfric some
time before the Conquest were
brought to light, and even remnants
of the original Saxon church built by
Ethelbert for ST. Augustine and con-
secrated in the year 613 were discov-
cred below the present ground level.
The latter consisted of the lower
walls of the chapel, or porticus, of
ST. Gregory, where it is recorded that
st. Augustine was buried. An apse
and extension of the first Saxon
church, added by st. Dunstan, was
also discovered. 1t is now thought
probable that the greater part of the
nave of the Saxon church, and of the
chapel of St. Martin, remain under
the ground, ready to the hand of the
eXcavator.
Queenstown CathedraI.-In August,
the splendid Cathedral of Queenstown,
Ireland will be finally completed and
dedicated.
Missionaries from HolIand.-In Hol-
| land more than a thousand young
Catholic men are being prepared for
the missions of the Church.
Mission Schoos.-Bishop Otto, of
North Kansu, says that he has prom
ised eighty dollars to one village in
his vicariate, to build a chapel, and a
like amount to another for school
house. When schools and houses OF
worship can be secured for these
modest sums, one would think the
missions would be full of them, but
such is not the case.
Catholic Painters Honored-Con.
gratulations to two we'll known Eng
lish Catholic painters, who receive
the honor of election as Royal
Academicians, in the persons of Frank
Brangwyn and Adrian Stokes. Mr.
Brangwyn's decorative works are
known we'll throughout Europe; and
his wonderful color schemes were
recognized abroad long before they
received notice here. Indeed, he had
a hard struggle to live, before Paris
acclaimed him, who is now repre-
scented in most of the famous galleries.
Mr.. Adrian Stokes is already repre-
scented in our public galleries, and
excels as a landscape painter; until
the war his works were most often to
be found in the Austrian Tyrol. Both
worthily uphold the traditions of
their country's art.
Foch the Cathoiic.-Because he was
born of an ancient Catholic family of
staunch loyalty to the Church and
disciplined and reared in it's tradi-
tons, it was extremely difficult for
Foch to rise in rank, says the Queen S
Work. He was known as a Catholic,
and a practical Catholic, and the op-
position would not suffer Catholic
to hold power But M. Clemenceau
was broad enough to appreciate real
value. Your brother is a Jesuit ?
| What do | care about that, General
or rather M. lie Directeur? You are
appointed to the Ecole de Guerre and
all the Jesuits in the world can't
change it,
Saint Of the Missions.-Foreign
missions had a prominent place in
the programme of apostolic works of
| st. Vincent de Paul. He would have
liked to see the members of his Con
gregation throughout the East, and
even in the furthermost parts of
| China; he cherished dreams of foun-
dations for them in the Levant, in
Persia and India, and was never afraid
of being importunate when his dear
missions were concerned. The devel-
opment of the missions and the work
which his spiritual sons would be able
to do amid the heather, the many
captive Christians and the Oriental
schismatics constantly filled his
thoughts and, as he owned, his dreams
by night, st. Vincent's visions of holy
ambitions have been fulfilled, for his
spiritual children have carried on the
Apostolic work in Africa and Asia, in
the Near and in the Far East
