SCR|PTURAL REVIEW
PLAN OF PROPOSED ROMAN MAG
AZINE TO BE ISSUED NEXT
JANUARY.

Mention of the new Scriptural re-
view in Rome was made last week.
The Pontifical Biblical Institute will
issue review entitled, "Biblica,' -
which will be published four times a
year. It's program, as one would eX-
pect from a review run by so learned
a body as is the staff of the Biblical
Institute, embraces wide field:
Scientific Investigations of Biblical
matters, whether in the shape of
longer articles or shorter notes and
studies, will form the main part of its
contents. Biography will receive spe-
cial attention. Besides reviews of
books each number will con-
tain carefully compiled register of
all recent scientific publications on
Biblical subjects. A bulletin or criti-
cal discussion of the different views
and principal publications on some
question of Importance will be an &C.
casional feature. There will be also a
regular chronicle, giving personal in
formation about Biblical scholars and
their activities, and recording recent
enterprises and discoveries in the
fields of exploration and excavation.
Articles in Latin, English, French,
German, Italian and Spanish will be
admitted in the review
Latin will be the official language
of the review Each number will con-
tain 1928 pages, so that the yearly vol
ume will always exceed 500 pages.
The program concludes:
"As the object of the review is, by
scientific method and research and by
fidelity to the teaching and mind OF
the Church, to promote sound Scrip
tural doctrine, it is hoped that it will
receive a cordial welcome and con-
slant support from Biblical scholars,
several of whom have already prom
ised their valuable collaboration"

THE ASSUMPTION.

1t is doubtful whether the
Church will ever raise to the dig
nifty of a dogma of faith the Chris
tan belief in the assumption of the
Blessed Virgin. Only time can
tell, and the scroll of time is still
unravelled. The belief Of the
Christian world, however, is
strong and unsuitable that Mary
was carried bodily into heaven.
This doctrine, like that of the
Immaculate Conception before it's
definition as a dogma, is but one
Of those many sources of consola-
ton to be found in the Catholic
religion. From the very first CEN
fury the tradition of Mary's as
sumption was universal. This be-
lief has been carried down the
ages, and it is still recognized by
the Church in maintaining this
festival as a day Of obligation.
So great is the love and rever-
ence cherished by Catholics for the
great Mother Of God that they are
quick to concede every possible
glory and privilege which will re-
fleet honor upon her. For this rea-
son the Church continues to keep
alive in all it's fervor the faith Of
her children towards the Mother
Of God. Learned writers Of the
past century have discussed the
various arguments as to whether
the Blessed Virgin actually died
or not. Catholic piety, however,
chooses to believe what Catholic
tradition has always held, namely,
that as Mary escaped the faint of
original sin, so likewise was she
exempt from the wages of sin
which is death.

MANY BENEFACT|ONS
TROY PHlLANTHROPIST DIES
GAVE MILLION TO POOR,

Peter Mccarthy, president of the
Troy Waste Manufacturing Company
and formerly vice president and direc-
tor of the Troy Trust Company and
noted as a philanthropist, died in
Troy, N. Y, recently. Beginning life
penniless, Mr. Mccarthy acquired a
fortune estimated at several million
dollars
He was a large contributor to many
charities and the benefactions in Troy
alone amounted to a million dollars
He erected the Seton Day Home at a
cost of 100000 and the Mccarthy
Memorial Chapel at St. Vincent's
Female Orphan Asylum, which cost
$4,000. A year ago he founded the
Mccarthy Charities, incorporated, and

THE GREAT CAPTAIN.

Some few centuries ago a Span
ish officer lay seriously wounded
after a terrible siege. Upon re-
covering, he decided to do every
thing possible to win the world
over to Jesus Christ. To this end
he founded the Society Of Jesus.
In his discourses and written in
structions he spoke Of our Lord
in a. military sense, calling Him
the Great Captain.
During the past few days hun
dreds of officers serving under this
Great Captain have gathered at
grand headquarters, at Notre
Dame University, to discuss ways
and means Of furthering the con-
quests of their Leader throughout
the world.
The Priests Eucharistic League,
meeting in regular session, has de-
termined to wage relentless war
fare against the forces that oppose
the peaceful reign Of this Great
Captain. These priests will re-
turn to their respective fields of
battle strengthened and encour-
aged and filled with renewed zeal
in the cause Of Christ upon earth.
Every Catholic owes allegiance
to this Captain Of his soul, and
should endeavor to keep his 10y
atty fresh and vigorous by fire.
quent acts Of fervor towards the
Holy Eucharist. When all is said
and done, the great center of
Catholicity is nothing more nor
less than the Blessed Sacrament of
the altar. Take away this throne
Of our Captain and the world of
the spirit will become but an arid
desert.

The necessity of a League Of Ma
tons is an enlightening common
tary on the methods Of the Old
World, says writer. The nations
of the East are not satisfied to
live on. the fruits Of their own la
bors. They must prey upon their
neighbors. Religion has had a
hard time with them. They want
no part in religion if religion is
going to keep them from robbing
one another. Germany, our re-
envy, was but one degree worse
than the rest. Her pride, fostered
outrageously by the homage which
she received from the rest Of the
world, and especially from the
United States, made her aspire to
the mastery Of the world. She
committed the outrageous crime
Of following her pride to the bit
ter end and she is receiving her
reward. Others, despite the
steadying force of the League Of
Nations, will undertake new, if
different conquests, and they too
will receive just compensation.
The Almighty has a way of admin
istering justice even in this world.

THE COST OF LIVING.

1t affords considerable satisfac-
ton to view the earnestness with
which the authorities, federal,
state and municipal, throughout
the country are attacking the
problem with regard to the cost
Of living.
The Governor Of this State and
the Mayor of St. Paul seem to
have entered heartily into the dis
cussion. 1t is declared by the
Governor that in the special ses-
sion, Of the legislature soon to be
called steps will be taken by this
body to assist in solving the prob
lem.
1t has become apparent that a
limit must be placed to the raise
demanded in the wages of work
ing men. In the first place, large
numbers of people receive a fixed
salary, do not belong to unions,
and, therefore, cannot expect to
beneht by larger wages granted
only to union workers. In the sec
ond place, continually to raise
wages without attempting to lower
the cost of commodities is but to
run in a circle, and then fly off at
the tangent Of national disaster.
The federal government appears
to have taken the right step in
endeavoring first Of all to lower
the cost Of the more ordinary nee
essaries Of life. When large cor
porations can pay as high as forty
or sixty percent extra taxes and
still make huge profits, there is
something wrong in the law which
can permit such a condition of
things. Evidently to reach a
proper solution it is necessary to
begin at the source Of production
If the initial cost be reduced this
will call for proportionate reduc-
ton all along the line from pro.
Queer to consumer. Wherever the
weak spot in this lines is detected

The new Triple Alliance be-
tween France, England and the
United States was conceived
primarily for the protection of
France, notes the Hartford Tran
script. She still fears the Ger
mans and the Germans have now
much reason for hating France.
She is the conqueror and she is
remorseless in her demands.
Should the time come when we
will have to send over forces to
defend her against her more pro-
life neighbor, will the American
treasury be called upon to pay
rent for the land necessary for
trench warfare? During the re-
cent campaign trench rent was de-
manded. This was to be expected
since we in our delirium declared
that France and England were
fighting our wars. We did not
fancy that our ridiculous child's
talk would be taken literally and
would furnish proof that we must
pay for the privilege of going over
to France and fighting our war
there. AS time goes on we will
learn more Of the gratitude dis
pensed by the nations Of Europe.
Little by little we will come to APP
preciate the Monroe Doctrine and
the wisdom which decried en-
tangling alliances.

According to the Cardinal Arch
bishop Of Westminster, the So
called Reformation" may be
blamed for many Of the troubles
and problems with which the pres
ent economic world is struggling.
"Capitalism," asserts Cardinal
Bourne, "began really with the
robbery Of Church property in the
sixteenth century, which threw the
economic and social advantages
into the hands of the land-owning
and trading classes. The indus
trial revolutions of the eighteenth
century found England already in
the hands Of the Well-to-do
classes"

THE LAYMAN'S REST.

The hustle and furore in modern
living tend frequently to Danish
all idea of intellectual or relig-
ious leisure. The world of bust
ness and politics, of society and
government, moves so rapidly to-
day that serious introspection
seems scarcely to be considered at
all.
In recent years the need OF a
few days Of mental relaxation and
religious thought has been met in
many parts Of the country. The
means employed to this end is
called a laymen s retreat. 1t af-
fords the business and the profes.
sional man a brief period Of re.
spite from worldly cares, and per-
mits the soul to revel for time
in the pure atmosphere of heaven
and eternity. u
These retreats for laymen have
been eminently successful through
out the East. In some places not
one alone but several such retreats
are given each year. In fact, II
certain cities, they are held at fire
quent intervals throughout the
year. The response in such cases
is most gratifying to the pro
moters, and at the same time it il
most beneficial to the laymer
themselves.
There is no reason why these
short periods of retirement from
the world should not attract
fairly large number Of laymel

erly inaugurated and conducted

In doing so Conan Doyle told with
reverence the story of Mrs.

near future will see a widespread

"Uneeda- ter-Liter-Gram" is one
slogan with which the World Trade
Club, representing over 500 of San
Franciscos leading manufacturing
merchants, has started it's campaign
for the worldwide adoption of the
metric units of measurement. The
clubs arguments show that the
weights and measures now used by
Britannia and the United States were
forced upon England by the German
Hanseatic Trading League centuries
ago. Germany herself scrapped the
old units in 1871 and adopted the
metric system,

Railroad trains speed swiftly day
and night in storm and wind and
snow along their way. They thread
mountain chasms; they cross deep
cuts on airy, scarey trestles; they
round dangerous curves. Only the
brain of hair-trigger quickness, only
the nerves of steel, can be trusted
with trainloads of human lives. A
single glass of whisky may mean the
misleading of a signal and holo-
caust of hundreds of human lives
snuffed out. The public demanded
sober railway men-and got them. 1t
