POPE RECEIVES OR|ENTALS
WAS ALWAYS FRIEND OF EAST
ERN CHURCH., PONTIFF SAYS.

On March 10 Pope Benedict XIV re-
ceived Populations of members Of the
clergy belonging to the Eastern
Church. Replying to an address by
Monsignor Papadopulos, who is head
of the Catholic Greeks in CONSTANT
nople, he briefly summed up what he
lad been able to do to alleviate suf-
fering caused by the war in the East.
THE Roman Pontiff has always
been friend of the Oriental Church
and has reposed great hopes in it"
he said. HE has not only been a
friend, but has turned with deep af-
lection to the Orient, which has been
all the more intense because Of the
uncertainty of the fate of the distant
sons of the Church.
Il wish these words could reach
the far shores of the Orient, but as
my voice cannot reach, SO | transmit
my thought to those present and
trust that all wish that Oriental
Chlistendom should be united by
close friendship and filial love to the
Apostolic See"
The Pope then bestowed the apos-
tolic blessing on all present.

Miss Jeanette Rankin, who was
a Representative from Montana in
the last Congress, says: Il was
through with talking about curing
venereai diseases ten years ago,
We can never rid the world of
this plague as long as we try to
cure half of those infected and let
the other half 90 free, or while we
refuse to look for the cause of the
trouble. We will never make any
Roadway until we recognize the
fundamental principles. We must
see that all predetermined persons,
males and females, have perma-
nent custodial care; that all the
rest Of the men and women have
education i'll the processes of life
and right living, and that every
woman has the training and OPP
portunity to earn an adequate liv-
ing by her own efforts. The only
sure cure for immortality is the
fear of the Lord and the observ-
ance Of His commandments.

LATIN AMERICANS.

There has been considerable
discussion the past few years
with regard to our relations
towards South America. Gradu-
ally the mist that has hung over
the southern part of the western
hemisphere, from North Ameri-
can viewpoint, has been raised.
We now see more clearly than
ever before that there are vast
possibilities for good in a closer
relationship between the Latin
Americans and ourselves. For
this reason business men have not
been slow to grasp the opportuni-
ties that offered in the CONNER
cial field.
Some time ago the suggestion
appeared in the Extension Maya
zine that a college or seminary be
established in this country for the
purpose of drawing the two peo-
ples-of North and South America
closer along religious and intel
lectual lines. Such all institution
would not by any means be nov
city i'll either the religious or the
intellectual world. The same
idea has often been put into effect
with excellent results. Thus, in
Rome there are colleges of stu
dents from all the principal ma
tons. Salamanca in Spain, Lou
vain in Belgium, Innsbruck in the
Tyrol, and many other such seats
OF learning all attest to the great
mingling of men from various ma
tlonalities. Ones views are
broadened and clarified; provin-
cial isolation is swept away; the
real good in others is brought out
into the open, and each national
ity is made to feel that other peo-
pies can and do possess qualities
that one never thought Of credit
ing them with.
The benefit to the Church from
such an institution would be well
nigh incalculable. There would
be an interchange Of ideals, an
opening up Of unthought of vistas
i'll the religious and the intellec-
tual spheres, a sympathetic inter
est III the problems, difficulties and
triumphs of one another, and alto
oether a more healthy state Of
public opinion would gradually be
created. The results thus would
prove valuable to Church and
State IN both Americas. Much in
the same way do ideas of West
ern civilization find their way into
the Oriental mind: the system is
the same. Bring peoples Of diff
ferent temperament, views and
thoughts into close proximity, and
the result is mutual benefit.

BISHOP McGRATH
NEW HEAD OF OREGON DIOCESE
WAS coNsECRATED LAST TUES
DAY-A VAST TERRITORY IN
BAKER CITY DIOCESE.

The conservation of the Right Rev.
Joseph f. McGrath, Bishop-elect of
Baker City, Ore, took place Tuesday,
March 20, in ST. James Cathedral,
Seattle. The consecrating Bishop was
the Right Rev. Edward J. O'Dea,
Bishop of Seattle, assisted by the
Right Rev. John P. Carroll of Helena,
and the Right Rev. Matthias c. Leni-
han of Great Falls.
Bishop Joseph McGrath succeeds
Bishop O'Reilly (now of Lincoln,
,Neb.) in the See of Baker City.
Bishop McGrath was born in Ire
land about A. years ago. He made his
theology course at Montreal and was
ordained there in 1895 by Archbishop
Fabre for the Diocese of Springfield,
Mass. His first pastoral labors were
spent in the Springfield Diocese. Fa-
Their McGrath later spent two years
doing missionary work among the In
dams of northern Michigan. The
hardships of his missionary labors
overtaxed his strength and he was
compelled to spend some time in
Texas recuperating. When Father
McGrath had fully regained his health
he went to Seattle and was assigned
to the Cathedral parish.
About II years ago Father Nc
Grath was named by Bishop O'Dea to
be pastor of St Patrick's parish, Ia
coma. At that time the parish was
without church. The little frame
structure that had previously served
the congregation was burned to the
ground shortly before Father Nc
Grath was given charge of the parish
Undaunted by the all but promising
outlook, Father McGrath gave himself
with unreserved vigor to the task that
confronted him.
St. Patrick's parish has fourished
under Father McGraths administra-
ton, and today a magnificent stone
church. built at cost of 100000 and
now nearly out of debt, stands in the
place of the charred embers that II
years ago represented all that was
left of st. Patrick's house of worship.
The Diocese of Baker City COM
prises $4,000 square miles. There
are in the diocese twenty-five
churches with resident priests, and
twenty-six mission churches. The do
cese has five academies for young
women and six parochial schools, with
nearly a thousand pupils in attend
ance.

Why does Professionalism pros
per in this world? Simply be-
cause it is the kind of religion, of
which the late Monsignor Benson
speaks. when he says: "The kind
of religion that the world likes is
d religion that is neither one thing
nor the othcr-a religion that is
not too vivid or eloquent about
the next world. and not too prac-
teal about this: a gentle and
pleasant compromise between the
two-in word: Morality touch
cd with emotion This kind of
religion is always successful, al
ways at least tolerated. Such a
religion never tramps to any Cal
vary: is never crucified between
two thieves.

THE THREE BISHOPS,

Several weeks ago three bishops
of the Protestant Episcopal
Church sailed for Rome with the
avowed intention of consulting
the Holy Father OH the matter Of
the union of all the churches of
Christendom. This idea is not at
all new. For some years there has
been an organized movement, fl
nanced by moneyed men, to bring
about just such a consummation.
Sincere and Jealous Protestants
have taken up the idea, have writ
ten and consulted, have prayed
and have used every human means
to effect such a union. They have
stopped short, however, of asking
for that sole unity which will
make all things one in Christ 7:
unity in the Catholic Church.
This is said to be the first time
since the great detection in the
sixteenth century that Protestant
prelates have gone to Rome on
such mission. Some men-many
Of them-have gone to Canossa :
these men, however. elected to seek
the Father Of Christendom to lay
before him their pleas and their
plans for a united Christianity.
The three pilgrims to the shrine
Of Peter, Bishops Anderson of Chi
cago, Weller of Fond du Lac,
Wis, and Boyd Vincent Of Ohio,
seem to be actuated by a sincere
desire for some kind Of a work
able agreement. Without being a
prophet, one is permitted to fore
tell the outcome Of this strange
and unusual procedure: the Holy
Father will encourage them in
their laudable enterprise, will
treat them kindly, but will place
before them the tenets Of the old
Faith which their fathers cast
overheard centuries ago. On this
matter there can be no compro-
mise. There can be no sacrifice of
doctrine on the part Of the Catho-
lie Church even to win over all
the denominations of earth. The
truth IS one, nor does it suffer
diminution or change.
This visit Of the three prelates,
however, will prove most interest.
ing for them. Let us hope that it
may be but a beginning Of the
long trail that will lead all our
separated brethren back to the
home of their ancestors. For look
at the matter as we will, the fact
remains incontestable that Prot
estants the world over are but our
brothers who have drifted fan
from the paternal roof: their fore
fathers all were once members OF
the same communion to which we
still adhere. For this reason every
true Catholic is anxious to see the
wanderers return to the home oil

NO BEER FOR CHINA.

In recent interview Rudolph
Samet, president of the California
State Brewers Association, predicted
a general exodus of brewers to China
and said he was about to leave for
that unfortunate country to erect
$2,000.000 plant. The warning was
cabled by some kind person to Pek-
ing and the News of that city pro-
ceeded to register a kick in the fol.
lowing words:
Beer, however glorious, is one of
the things that China can manage to
do without. Its manufacture would
employ certain number of Workmcn
and the brewers would claim the cred
it of being benefactors of mankind and
all that sort of bosh, but the case
against their coming to China seems
Well-nigh irresistible. China is just
getting rid of one curse and the Ameri-
can government has had no small
hand in the accomplishment of this
great task. Even if beer be compare
lively harmless, the brewers will be
followed by the distillers and the two
will be followed by their political
Wire-pulling, and the last state of this
country will be considerably worse
than the first
Doubtless the Chinese are fully ia
miliar with the Oriental parable con-
corning the camel that got it's nose
into the tent. They have had sad ex-
perience of some features Of Occi-
dental so-called civilization. Having
thrown opium out of the window. they
don't propose to let booze come in by
the door The Chinese are learning

DOMAIN OF TEMPERANCE
A BOYS SERMON ON Tenn
PERANcE.

Temperance orators are often con-
sidered extravagant in their denounce-
ment of the drink evil and the radical
methods they suggest may seem to
some of us extreme. But facts like
the following are more eloquent than
any speech and show all too plainly
the need of strong methods.
Il was walking through the slums
of London one day, when | saw
determined to investigate the cause
and found, to my disgust, a drunken
man lying on the ground. AS was
turning away boy about twelve years
old, whistling merrily, came walking
down the street and, seeing the crowd,
came over to find out what the trouble
was. He was such bright, handsome
little fellow that I found myself gaz-
ing at him with real pleasure. The
moment, however, that he caught
sight of the PROSTATE figure of the
man, he stopped; his whole body
seemed to stiffen; he clenched his
hands; his breath came and went in
short, quick gasps, while his eyes
dilated with amazement, fear, wonder,
horror, despair. The reader may
think this an exaggeration. All, yes,
but the reader did not see, as I saw,
the very soul of the boy laid bare by
the expression in those eyes, which
spoke to me as clearly as any words
could have done. l knew as surely
as though he had told me that the
man was his loved father, to whom
he had ever given his deepest respect
and admiration, of whom he had ever
been so proud-so proud! And now!
With little half-stifed sob, he
threw himself on the ground at the
mans feet, clasping them tight in
both his hands, and lay there notion
less. Every man of that crowd Of
Whitechapel rowdies stood there in
silence, with sorrow and pity written
plainly on their faces.
I know that this poor world sees
many sad sights day after day, but
the picture of that boy lying at that
mans feet, will remain with me for
ever, as the saddest sight ever saw

The official figures just made
public by the government dis
close the fact that one hundred
women are members of church in
this country to every fortyfour
men. Attendance at Sunday serv-
ices in churches bears about the
same proportion Of men as shown

true of Catholic churches. The
Sunday school growth in member

face, according to the report OF the
municipal court for last year. Last
year there were more than 1878
drunk convictions.
There were 9.0G3 convictions in the
court in 1918, the report states, under
state laws and city ordinances. And
of that total, 1878 were convictions
on the charge of, as the report speci-
fies, Drunk"
The monthly range Of convictions.
on this charge discloses that the first
six months of the calendar year are
low periods, that the curve rises with
an abrupt jump in July and that the
peak of the load is reached in October.
Here is the showing:
January, 800; February, 241; March,
1923; April, 315; May, 800; June, 2S5;
July, 1872; August, 396; September,

December, 434.
Influx of harvest hands and of labor
ers bound for the lumber camps is
suggested in court circles, as explain

year, and October is pointed out as
the month when returning harvesters
and outgoing woodsmen greet one an

October is the high month, too, for
convictions on all sorts of charges,
the total being 1,130 as against a
minimum of 4O4 in February-the lat
ter suggesting a possible relation with
New Years resolutions.
Disorderly conduct comes second as
a cause of convictions, with a total of

while petit larceny was proved against
314 persons, grand larceny against 146,
assault and battery IA, and violation
of automobile traffic regulations 2S3.
