of lay people present for the occasion.
The Right Rev. Bishop delivered a
very appropriate and instructive SER

greatest attention. 1t is hoped that
some of the young ladies who read this

low the edifying example of these
nuns.
On the same day, the Right Rev.

PALL0TT|N| Fathers
PiOUS SOCIETY OF MISSION
CHOOSES NEW YORKER AS
GENERAL.

A cable dispatch from Rome an
nounced the election of the Very Rev.
Hyacinth Cardi to the office of Father
General of the Pious Society of Mis-
sions Va.
Father Cardi, p. S. Mr., is provincial
of the Italian Province of the Pious
Society of Missions, and pastor of the
Church of st. Ann, New York city,
which parish he founded eight years
ago.
Father Cardi is the second New
York priest to become head of his or
der within the past few weeks. The
other priest was the Very Rev. Peter
E. Magennis, O. G. c., now Father
General of the Carmelites.
The Pious Society of Missions was
established by the Venerable Vincent
Mary Pallotti in 1885. The members
of the society are generally called Pal
lottini Fathers. It's object is to pre-
serve the faith among Catholics, espe-
cially among emigrants who are ex-
posed to many grave dangers, and to
propagate the faith among non-Catho-
lie and infidels.
The first Italian mission of the Pious
Society in New York was established
in 1888 by the Rev. DR.. E. Kirner.
They now have houses also in Brook
Ign, Baltimore, Newark, Hammond, n.
j., and Fall River. In North America
the Pallottini Fathers have at present
over 100000 Italian emigrants under
their spiritual care.

CHARITIES CORPORATION
CLEVELAND CATHOLICS HAVE OR.
GANIZATION OF 5000 MEN,
BEERS,

The report of the officers of the
Catholic Charities Corporation of
Cleveland, Ohio, shows that there are
already nearly 5000 members in the
corporation with annual contributions
of about $4,000.
This result has been accomplished
after nine months Of organization and
is, in the opinion of Rev. c.. H: Le-
Blond, director of Catholic Charities,
but a forerunner of great future for
the corporation, after the city and the
diocese have been completely can
vassed.
The work that the corporation has
done thus far has enabled the Sisters
of. the orphanage to meet current ex-
penses this year, for the first time in
many years. Heretofore it has been a
case of increasing the deficit from
year to year. g..
1t was also said the corporation in
time would remove the orphanages
from Cleveland to suburban sites.

written for The Catholic Bulletin by
AIvatisene.)

The peoples red, of Flanders,
They bloom for us today,
Enlivening with their brilliant hues
November's somber gray;
; They tell thrilling story
To each receptive heart
Of strife that never was surpassed
In which cen they had part.
The peoples red, of Flanders,
Mean much to us today,
To hearts that well-nigh broke for
those q
Who persisted in the fray.
Their chalices our banners are
To wear for victory won,
For honor saved, land redeemed,
And deeds of valor done.
The peoples red, of Flanders,
So meekly typify
The hope that frightened war
SCARED France
Beneath the blacklist sky;
They decorate our banquets
Are carried in the dance,
The peoples red, of Flanders,
Are telling us of France.
The peoples red, of Flanders,
Each year will petals shed
Above the resting places
Of our heroic dead.
For this We'll prize them ever,
And wear them where we may,
The peoples red, of Flanders,
The flowers of Victory's day.

ence during hostilities it is evident
that the conflict proved a severe
check to its progress, says the London
Catholic Times.
In pre-war times the association
was the mainstay of the Center party.
It's leaders devoted themselves large
ly to education in social matters and
their work was done thoroughly.
There were comfortable clubs for the
amusement and instruction of the
members. Lectures on social themes
were delivered in many districts and
the organization, thanks to the sup
port it received, became very power
full. To it's energy was due the sue
cess that crowned the efforts of the
Center party's candidates to win the
favor of the electors Before the war
the membership had reached eight
hundred and fifty thousand. BY the
end of 1918 it had sunk to five hun
dred and thirty-nine thousand. 1t has
risen since then to five hundred and
forty-one thousand, and the Center
party is confident that in the course
of few years it will recover all it's
old strength.
