CEMETERY SUNDAY.

According to a custom in vogue
for some years in this Diocese,
tomorrow will be Cemetery Sun
day. On that day our Catholic
people are asked to remember in
a special manner the souls of their
departed While the Church has
appointed a special day on which
the souls of all the faithful de-
parted are COMMUNICATED, the in
clcmency of the weather in this
northern cline usually prevents
any consi d era b | c number Of
people from attending services i'll
our cemeteries on that day. For
this reason all are invited to go
down tomorrow to the cities OF
the dead, to pause for a moment
at the little knobs scattered here
and there where, each in his mar
row cell forever laid, our former
friends, relatives and co-religion-
lists speak to us Of eternity.
This Catholic practice of pray
ing for the dead is brought home
forcibly to every sound thinker
on an occasion of this kind.
Neither argument nor persuasion
is needed when one stands in the
presence Of death. Reason alone
is sufficiently strong to impress
upon the visitor to a cemetery
that the handful Of dust, repre-
senting the mortal remains Of a
fellow being, can not be the sum
total Of his existence. Reason
tells us that surely he must exist
somewhere religion adds that he
does exist, while Christianity eX-
plains to us the necessity of pray
ing for the welfare Of his soul.
On Cemetery Sunday, therefore,
there should not be single Cath
ollie in the Diocese Of st. Paul who
does not either wend his way
thoughtfully to Gods Acre, or at
least offer a fervent prayer for
the spiritual refreshment Of those
who have preceded us into the
Great Beyond.

A VALIANT NURSE
WON NINE RED CROSS SERVICE
STRIPES.

Miss Margaret O'Mahoney of New
York City, wears four service stripes
on the sleeve of her Red Cross uni
FORM indicating two years of service
with the American Red Cross. If she
wished to wear all her rightful serv-
ice stripes she would have nine.
When the war broke out Miss O'Ma-
honey, who was an American of Irish
birth, was living in Paris. She joined
the French Red Cross, serving in
French hospitals as nurse until the
United States entered the war Then
she joined the American Red Cross.
For her services to the French
wounded she was presented with the
highest award of the French Red
Cross, LInsigne d'Infrmiere, and when
she landed in New York she was in
formed that the French government
had given her another decoration. the
Medaille de Reconnaissance de France.

Well did the ancients say, cor
ruptio optimi pessima, the corrup-
ton of the best is hopeless. Truly
hath the mighty fallen.
The example which Boston has
furnished to the rest Of the coun-
try will likely prove contagious,
unless it be repressed with a
mighty effort. The police of the
city are the executive arm Of the
law. If the arm be withered or
paral yzed the law becomes by
word: authority and government
cease. The illogical and ridiculous
attitude assumed by certain labor
unions in abetting the police in
their strike, is the very best means
of bringing about sudden and vio-
lent anarchy in the Common
wealth. If the State Militia and
the Federal troops were to assume
the same attitude as the police,
and go on strike, the end Of all
government would be near.
While policemen and lircmcn
may have their grievances as we'll
as other workers, it is criminal
disloyalty of the deepest dye for
policemen and fremcn to violate
their sacred duty towards the
people and abandon a city to
plumber, riot and murder. Were
all the physicians and the sur
geons suddenly to go out on strike,
and refuse to attend the dying,
the temper of the people would
soon Wreak vengeance on such
miscreants. In the same way
should strikers, such as those who
have disgraced Boston, be han
died.

BISHOP K|NSMAN
PROTESTANT PRELATE GAVE
GOOD ADVICE.

In the current number of The Lamp
there is printed an interesting article
on the resignation of Bishop Kinsman
of the Episcopal Church. The Bishop,
it will be recalled, was head of the
Diocese of Delaware and has aban-
doned the church because he could
not in conscience agree with some of
the important tenets thereof
1t is strangely coincident that when
Father Paul James Francis, editor of
The Lamp, had almost decided to en-
ter, the true fold, it was Bishop Kins-
man, his superior at the time, whom
he consulted. The Bishop did not
give an immediate answer, but when
it did come it was clear-cut and di-
rectly to the point. Here is one sen
tence from that remarkable letter:
Either give up belief in a divinely
established Papacy and in Roman dog
mas as the one complete expression
Of the Christian faith, as one must dc
to be consistent and contented An
glican, or else give up Anglican or
ders, make an unqualified submission
to the Latin Church, and be a good
Roman Catholic Now, will Bishop
Kinsman take his own advice?

GOOD SHIP S|NS|NAWA
VESSEL NAMED AFTER CATHOLIC
COLLEGE IN WEST.

With an alumna of st. Clara Col
lege, Sinsinawa, Wisconsin, as spon-
sor, the steamship "SinsinaWa" was
launched at Hog Island, Philadelphia
on August 6, taking the initial plunge
into the Delaware at II o'clock. She
is the fifty-second vessel to leave the
ways at the big shipyard.
Mrs. Thomas A. McGoldrick, wife
of DR.. Thomas A. McGoldrick, police
surgeon of Brooklyn, was sponsor.
The story of her selection for this
honor is picturesque. The Indian
name Sinsinawa, chosen by Mrs. Will
son and meaning home of the young
eagle" is shared by the college con-
Quoted by the Dominican Sisters, at
SinsinaWa, Wis. The Sisters asked
that one of the girls be chosen for
sponsor. The privilege granted, the
students elected Mrs. McGoldrick one
of the alumnae.
AS their tribute to the ship, the
Sisters and girls sent school pennant
and framed picture of the school
both to hang in the captains cabin
A silk flag in their colors, blue and
white, also was presented.

TALKING IN MILLIONS.

One of the odd things about our
Catholic people is the fact that,
whereas they are proud of their
faith, they are SO remiss in con-
tributing to its expansion among the
heather and the infidel. Catholics
in this country number close to
twenty million souls. And vet they
cannot raise five million dollars in
the cause of the missions, no, nor
half that sum. When it was an
nounced that last year more than one
million dollars was raised, the news
was joyfully sent broadcast to the
newspapers. 1T was true, but at the
same time pitiful and shameful,
We claim to be far more numerous
here than the denominations; read
| the following from the Missionary
Herald Congregational:
"The Methodists have got what
they went after. 1t is announced
that they have secured their Cen
tenary Fund for Foreign Missions
whose goal was originally $780,,
100000, but has been gradually
advanced till it now stands al
the staggering sum Of $4,000,
1000. It fairly takes the breath
away to think what will be possible
to our enterprising and adventurous
Methodist brethren in the way OF
support and expansion of their al
ready huge undertakings on then
foreign fields. 1t seemed to smacE
Of the publicity agent and the pro
Imoter. But it has been accom-
plished-and more; and nobody i
hurt and everybody is happy.
'EThe Northern Baptists are com
|pleting their $6,O00,000 Victor.
Fund, having got to the last $500,
1000 with the promise of an addet
l$2,000,000 if the goal is reached
The Southern Baptists are under
taking to raise $75 100000 for thei
missionary work of all varieties dur
ing the next five years; and th
Northern Baptists, at their Denve
| Convention in May, set their stalk
at $100,000,000 for expenditure OF
their UNCONVENTIONAL tasks within
the next five years. That last-name'
Isum is what the Northern Presby
terians have fixed upon as their ain
in the New Era campaign on whlcI
they have embarked"
Then think Of your own mission

of bare necessaries to support life

THE ROMAN QUESTION
INF l. u NICE OF CHURCH IN
ORIENT WATCHED CLOSELY
BY FRANCE.

Rarely has the daily press of
France given SO much thought to the
Roman question, the universal inf1u-
ence of the Holy See. and the loss
which the French republic must sus-
tain through lack of representation at
the Court or Rome.
In the Revue des deuX Mondes the
French Catholic writer, Goyan, draws
a glowing picture of strength which
must accrue to the Church in the
Orient in consequence of the downfall
of Czarism and it's attendant enslav-
ing minions. The rise of Poland, of
Bohemia and of the Jugo- Slavs, com
bined with the fall of the Gar, spells
the growth, he says, Of the influence
of the Papacy all through the Orient
this vast conglomeration of nations
among which France desires to retain
her influence.
And thus, he adds, the Roman ques
ton, that is, the questions existing be,
tween the Quirinal and the Vatican
