DULUTH DIOCESAN DIRECTORY
THE IRISH CLERGY
PROFESSOR DE VALERA WRITES
GLOWINGLY OF THE IRISH
PRIESTS STOOD BY THEIR
PEOPLE.

The following tribute to the Irish
clergy occurs in Letters from Ire
land and from Lincoln Jail, England"
by the Irish leader, Professor canon
Ce Valera. 1t is part of an interview
given to an American press repre-
sentative:
Clerical domination. How little
they think who use that phrase OF
what tremendous tribute it is to the
Irish priests. What is the secret OF
the priests influence with the people!
1t is nothing but the recognition by
the people of truth that in ireland
the priests have been what ministers
of religion should be everywhere, the
fathers and guides of their fiocks. In
ireland the priests have always stood
beside the people, comforting, encour-
aging and helping them in the dark
days-their safest, most unselnSn,
often their only leaders. Let the
Protestant minister by similar deeds
secure similar influence over his peo-
pie. no Catholic will seek to diminish
it. Would you deprive a minister OF
religion, because he is SUCH, OF his
rights as a citizen, and of his influence
as a man, an educated man, good
man? Would you rob him of the secu-
lar influence that traditional service
has merited for his cloth? Finally,
should we not be honest with our
selves and recognize that if religion
is not mere pretense with us, it is
the most important thing in life, and
should influence our every action? 1t
is not something to be put outside the
= backdoor whenever we choose.
minister Of religion then, if he is at
all a worthy one, is entitled to special
regard as such, and his advice has a
special value even in what might be
considered very mundane affairs.

GRATEFUL TO PONTIFF
SCHISMATIC ARMENlANS AND
JEWS RETURN THANKS TO
POPE BENEDICT XIV FOR HELP
EXTENDED DURING THE GREAT
WAR.

Last month the Patriarch of the
Schismatic Armenians repaired to the
residence OF the Most Rev. Archbishop
Dolci, Delegate Apostolic at CONSTANT
nople, to ask him to convey the thanks
of himself, the Armenian clergy and
people to the Sovereign Pontiff for
his Intervention on behalf OF the Ar
/ menian nation. And this month a
representative of the Israelites at Con-
Stantinople went to Rome to thank the
. Holy Father for the interest which
: His Holiness has shown in the well
fare of the children of Israel on the
! banks of the Bosphorus. This is DR..
: Jakir Behar, Secretary-General of the
: Israelite Society of 'Bene-Berih' at
Constantinople, who, by the way, has
/" the reputation Of being one of the
most cultured men Of the day.
The ''Bene-Berih," not content with
expressing its gratitude towards Pope
Benedict XIV in its newspaper,
L'Aurora, which is published in Con
stantinople, sent on to Rome its dele
gate to convey to His Holiness the
grand measure of success which has
attended his efforts on behalf of the
Hebrews. For true to his program
of making no distinction between races
or religions where the cause of human
ity was concerned, the Holy Father
has been of immense benefit to this
hitherto sQrelY-tried people in Turkey.
In the Fifteenth Benedict they found
a true friend.

OR AGAINST YOU?

In nine cases out of ten the ques-
lions as to whether man is or is
not advancing financially depends on
whether he is paying interest to some
body else or has interest coming to
him. A man can afford to live very
close and make great many sacrl-
fees until he can get over the line
from the interest paying class into
the class where he has little money
working for him. When we borrow
money, when we pay war time

ing against US; and we are likely get
ting poorer When we save money
or invest it wisely, the law of interest
is working for us; and we are likely
getting better off. Of course if we
can borrow money at or 8 per cent
and so invest as to get 10 or II per
cent out of it-as am an may fire.

THE PERSONAL EQUATION
IN MANUFACTURING


Mr.. F. S. Register, president of the
F. S. Register Guano Company, whose
advertisement appears in another part
of this paper, believes that no bust
ness can grow so large that the per-
sonal element may be left out. Peo-
pie like to deal with real man, one
who owns and controls his business.
He is always saying that the only
drawback to having built up bust
ness which extends over many states
and takes many factories to supply
is that he cannot meet and talk to
his customers face to face as he did
when he started in business thirty
three years ago. But as the years
go by and capable men whom he has
trained relieve him of some of his
burdens, he feels more and more de-
sirous of hearing from actual users
of Register goods and will welcome
letters from any old or prospective
customers. He has specialized all his
life on plant-foods for our southern
crops and soils and places unreserv-
edly at your command his own prac-
teal experience and that of his tech
nical experts. Write to him about
your plant-food problems. Just ad-
