THE BENEFITS TO THE SOUL OF
A WORTHY HOLY COM
MUNlON.

When the Holy Eucharist is re-
ceived by a member of the Church, it
is called Holy Communion, which, ac-
cording to the Council of Trent, pro-
duces, the following effects in the
soul: Cd 1t unites us intimately with
Christ and nourishes our soul with
divine love; (2) it confers a great in
crease of Sanctifying Grace; 90 it
lessons our evil inclinations; ca it is
a pledge of everlasting life; (o) it fits
our bodies for a glorious resurrection.
Read the Sixth Chapter of the Gospel
of st. John beginning with verse 4S,
and you will find the Biblical support
for the several contentious made by
the Council of Trent.
We become as intimately associat-
ed with Christ as the food which we
eat becomes united to us. st. Peter
says that Sanctifying Grace makes us
partakers of the Divine Nature
Surely then a personal union with
Christ must produce this effect. "He
that eateth Me, the same also shall
live by Me- John vi, So If people
hope to have everlasting life" even
without receiving Holy Communion,
how much greater reason is there to
believe that those who are united fire.
quently with their Lord by this init
mate union will have everlasting
life" Gb $50? In this same verse
Christ assures us: And | will raise
him up on the Last Day" This
pledge that the body which the God
of heaven enters frequently, the body
which, according to the Bible is the
temple of the Holy Ghost" when the
soul is in grace, will not be permitted
to remain ever separated from the
soul. This body, sanctified by Holy
Communion will be glorified as was
Christ's own Body, and taken to
Heaven to be rewarded with the soul
for all eternity.
How, then, can one be Indifferent
to the invitation to frequent Holy
Communion? Is it wonder that the
Church urges people to receive Holy

sion. AS to the. New Testament, he
thinks there is not much to choose
between them.
No doubt as pure literature, we may
give the palm to the Protestant Bible.
But regarded as the Word Of God,
which has the truer, the deeper eff
feet on the reader? The account of
the Fall, for instance. in the Prot
estant Bible might be the composition
of a Greek tragedian. 1t is cold and
correct In the Douay version it
swells and throbs with grief and
emotion.
The late Father Robert William
Carson wrote shortly before his
death: 1T is not a little interesting
that a non-Catholic scholar, DR..
James Carleton. should essay to prove
with much ability and success how
much the Authorized Version owes
to the oftentimes despised Rheims
translation. Those who are never
tired of lauding the one to the skies
as the greatest monument of English
literature, will not, we hope, forget
in the future to give its due need
of praise to the Version that remains
| a standing witness to the attain
| ments of our Catholic forefathers

used SO freely and thanked so spar
| ingly."

THE HORRORS OF FOREST FIRES.

Rev. Father Dubois has undertaken
the task of building church at Cold
Lake, Alberta, Canada, a wild and re-
mote spot. There are vast forests
there and the Fathers plan was to
cut the lumber for his little house of
Worship and have it constructed by
local labor.
But the region has been suffering
from lack of rain and, in the latter
part of May, fire started in the woods
and swept over hundreds of miles of
country. The magnificent pine trees,
dry as finder, blazed terrifically, the
flames mounting one hundred and fifty
feet in the air. Birds, animals, hunt
ers and trappers, fed before the fire,
many, Of course, not being able to
escape The little farms at the edge
of the woods were wiped out and
their owners sought safety at the edge
of the river Vast clouds of smoke

Father Dubois, himself, when boun 1
on an errand of mercy, narrowly es-
capped death.
Naturally, the timber made ready
for his church was destroyed, but he
expresses himself as not discouraged,
but more determined than ever to
erect house of worship for the
hardy settlers who cling firmly to
their faith in spite of the isolation
and hardship OF their lives,

THE X. OF c. ACCOUNTING,
The st. Louis Republic says:

The st. Louis Republic says:
The accounting issued by the
Knights of Columbus for the year
ending in June shows that the organ
ization expended something like ST.
100000 of it's share of the United War
Fund in work among the soldiers at
home and abroad. The administrative
expense appears to have been very
low and 100000 was spent for what
the Knights call Creature comforts"
that were passed to the men without
charge. These included tobacco, writ
ing materials, candy, soap and many
other articles which the doughboy-
always wanting something and fire.
quently broke-must have accepted
with gratitude and pleasure. But we
doubt if the material accounting gives
anything like an adequate idea of
what the Knights and similar organi-
| cations did for the happiness and
well-being of the soldiers. Millions of
dollars were spent for structures of
various kinds, which brought the men
| together and gave them opportunities
for rest, relaxation, social intercourse,
amusement and self-improvement.
Nobody can match these things
against the money that was spent and
strike a balance, but we know, just
| the same, from the testimony Of re-
turned soldiers, that the money was
we'll spent.

THE MONKS OF LoUeH DERG.

From the story of "The Vision of
Dabheoc" we quote the following de-
scription Of the labors of the early
Irish monks:
There was band of young men
who made their way over the noun
tains to join the community.
Though they found it hard enough to
the body, it seemed sweet to the soul.
But their number increased and no
little strength and prosperity was
added to them. The younger brethren
built huts of strongly woven twigs,
and laid out an apple garden and a
herb garden, Above all the work of
their hands was the great chapel of
timber wood. They had raised every
beam by their own labor, and they
had filled it with the untiring song Of
their lips. Day by day, like the bee
folk in the heather, they followed out
their chosen rule, and kept their lives
sweet with activity. Some had turned
to the digging of the soil, and planted
seeds and herbs, till they won to
themselves the wisdom of plants and
the healing of leaves.
Others betook themselves to writ
ing on parchmentS and painting the
Gospels with colors they had picked
off the rocks. In those days the max
ing of books was long and trouble
some, even to the wearing of mems
lives. First, there were designs to
be penciled by the best craftsmen in
the monastery. And then others
would sit day by day over one smooth
page spreading the little rivers of red
and yellow through and round the let
tering, little rivers that wound about
the pages, with bright purple banks
curling and folding in and out, yet
never breaking over the line or let
ting purple sod drop into the vel
low stream. '.,..
1t was on the initial of Christ that
they lavished the whole wealth Of
their brushes. Round the Sacred Let
ter with an unbroken exactitude they
twined the glorious bordery, line upon
line, curve out of curve, wreath into

the colors of the sky and the beauty
of the earth, the FURNISHED mail of
dragons, and the slender shapes of
mountain grass. If men wonder today
at the love and endurance that
wrought such books to perfection, it
is because they do not understand
the mind of the writer's who would
have deemed their whole lives too
short, and the very blue of heaven
and the red of their own blood I'M

THE MARKS OF A CATHOLIC.

To be a Catholic in name is one
thing, quite different from being a
true member of the true Church in
very deed. Going to church, frequent
ing the Sacraments, and paying their
pew rent, may be essential, but they
are only part of what constitutes prac-
teal Catholicity, says MY Message
The Minnesota journal believes that
we must be thoroughly convinced of
the truth of our holy religion, we must
know the teachings and practices of
our Church, and must constantly
strive to learn it all more thoroughly
so that we can give a reasonable &C
count of the faith that is in us; we
must be ever ready to advance the
interests, not only of our local par.
ish, but also Of the diocese and of
the Church in general; we must feel
with the Church, sorrow with her in
her affections and glory in her tri-
umphs, we must rise in her defense
i'll whatever way we may be called
upon. But above all we MUST be
obedient to her voice as manifested
to us by her Bishops and priests. If
we are all this, then only can we con-
slider that we are Catholics in very
deed

TRIBUTE TO CARDINAL.

miral Beatty, Marshal Petain, Mar

Herbert Hoover, General Pershing
and Admiral Sims, outside their i'm
mediate localities? Cardinal MERCER
was known to churchmen of the Ro-
sions as an erudite Christian philoso-
pher and an able apologist. But the
undated prince Of the people, the
shepherd who did not fly when the
flock was smitten, who manfully with

THE TWO BIBLES.

We are continually hearing from
our non-Catholic friends of the beauty
of the Protestant ! version of the
Scriptures, and the archaic English
of the Douay Bible; and they will in
sist upon this point until one begins
to think that good English must be
one of the marks of orthodoxy, and
that the only ineligible English in
the ear of Almighty God is that con
tanned in the Protestant Bible. Well,
at least one sound English Biblical
scholar, the late Rev. Ralph Waldo
Sibthorp, was not of this opinion,
says an exchange. In letter written
by him published in his Life" he
compares the Anglican and Catholic
Bibles, and says that the version Of
the Psalms in the former is altogether
inferior. In some other respects he
considers the Catholic Bible more sim
pie, direct, and vivid; and he in
stances the history Of the Patriarch
Joseph as superior in the Douay yer.

AFTER A RETREAT.

What hast thou learnt today?
Hast thou sounded awful mysteries,
Hast pierced the yelled skies,
Climbed to the feet of God,
Trodden where saints have trod,
Fathomed the heights above?
Nay,
This only have l learnt, that God is
love.
What hast thou heard today?
Hast heard the Angel-trumpets cry,
And ripping harps reply;
Heard from the Throne of fame
Whence God incarnate came
Some thund' rous message roll?
Nay,
This have l heard, His voice within
my soul.
What hast thou felt today?
The pinions of the Angel-guide
That standeth at thy side
In rapturous ardours beat,
Glowing, from head to feet,
In ecstacy divine?

NEAR EAST STILL Center OF RlVALRIES;
TURK AND GREEK ARE AT SWORDS POINTS

Italy a new chance. Moreover, even
II events do not turn out favorably for
Italy, the new disturbance may prove
Of infinite annoyance to her allies,
who from the Italian point OF view,
went back on their bargain. Conceiv-
abby Turkish armies might presently
menace British and French colonies
on the eastern edge of the Mediter-
ranean
The fact about the Turkish empire
seems to be that 1t can only be dis
posed of, when 1t is divided among
nations strong enough to police their
portions. or placed under the control
Of one nation, which could organize
the country as Britain has organized
Egypt and France is organizing Mo
rocco. But neither France, Britain,
Italy nor Russia, If she comes to her
self again, will consent that any single
European power shall take over Tur-
key, even the Osmanli portion, as con-
trasted with the Syrian and Arabic
portions, which have been occupied
by France and Britain. Conce1vably
all would assent to an American man
date, but this would mean an Ameri-
can army permanently stationed In
Turkey, and not impossible, long
drawn out war of subjugation.
To coop the Turk on the interior
plateau Of Asia Minor, to make Con-
stantinople and the shores OF the
straits international territory. to give
the west coast of Asia Minor to
Greece, the south shore to Italy, to
build an Independent Armenia, de-
fenseless and lacking the capacity to
become fencible, is obviously to settle
nothing. for the Turk is bound to push
outward again in all directions, to
seek the coast, pushing the Greek into
the sea, overruning Armenia, involv-
ing Italy in one more expensive and
dangerous colonial war. This exactly
what Is happening now, so far as the
Greek Is concerned.
Center of Rivalry
We touch in this instance upon one
Of the main problems before the league
I of nations, namely the question of en-
forcing its decisions. 1t has no army.
It can, doubtless borrow British and
American fleets for police work on the
coasts, but Anatolia, like Mexico, is
not a seacoast problem. If Turkey
were a civilized country like France
or Italy, using the sea for it's inter
change, with the world and needing
such interchange, then there would
be method Of bringing her to reason.
But she Is not.
Moreover, and the point is capital,
Turkey remains, as she has always
been, the center Of rivalries between
great powers. If French and British
interests have been accommodated in
the Arabic portions, France and Brit
ain remain rivals at Constantinople,
and both are agreed that neither shall
