At Alexandria, on his thirty-third
birthday, he was consecrated Arch
bishop. In 1912 he made a hurried
visit of 20 days to New York city, in
quest of the latest things in farm ma
chinery.
His trip to Paris four months prior
to the great war in 1914, was to Sc
cure means to erect large orphan
age. His patriotic stand and utter
ances in defense of Syria, angered the
Turkish government, which thereupOn
passed the death sentence of hang
ing upon him-which he escaped by
his refusal to return at the opening
of the war. While sojourning in Mar
seilles, France, in the spring of 1919,
awaiting ship to return to Syria,
and with peace nearly concluded, he
received fresh news from Syria, from
his Vicar General, telling of his own
sentence of Imprisonment for three
years, and the truly awful havoc of
plague and famine, amongst his be-
loved clergy and people. This,
coupled with the news of the even
more terrible Turkish atrocities
against his people, broke his heart,
plunged him into his last sickness,
and hastened his end.

FATHER TIM DEMPStYT0 LAY CORNERSTONE
THE WELL. KNOWN ST. LOUIS
PRIEST SCORES AGAIN AS A
MEDIATOR.

So many times has it happened
that now it scarcely causes comment
when Father Timothy Dempsey of St
Louis, steps into the arena where EN-
ployers and employees are in bitter
conflict and, by his honest sympathy
and strong sense of justice, brings
matters to a peaceful issue
His latest successful efforts as me-
diator brought the Kinloch telephone
strike to an end last week The con
tention on both sides seemed too de.
termined for an early settlement, but
after many conferences with the off
cials and an earnest appeal to the
strikers to go back to work, Father
Dempsey succeeded in obtaining a
unanimous vote for the acceptance of
the final terms offered by the COM
pany. Until he took the stand and
made his plea for an end of the strug-
gle there seemed to be much doubt in
the strikers minds as to what fur
ther steps they might take to enforce
their demands.
Thirteen other strikes owe their
peaceful solution to Father Dempsey.

concentrate on one or two To answer
this question wisely the women will
have to take careful stock of those
forms of distress in the city which
require most attention, and calculate
their own resources individually and
as an organization, as we'll as the
resources of the community.
Doctor Ryan then discussed at con-
siderable length three topics of inter
est to the student of social distress:
the boarding home for working girls,
the settlement house, and the trained
social worker.
Regarding the boarding home for
working girls, Doctor Ryan said there
is some foundation for the complaint
against the existence of such a home
that it in effect subsidies the com
mercial enterprises that do not give
their female employees a living wage
Yet he said there is a real need for
such a home to take care of strangers
in the city until they have found suit
able employment and safe associa.
tions. And, too, if girls who actually
do receive an insufficient wage, are
not assisted by some such form OF
Frelief they become victims of the con
ditions in which they are placed
crushed between the greed of the EN-
ployer and the coldness of those who
refuse to assist them. In this as in
other phases of human activity we
must often allow our kindness to com
promise with the rigid principles OF
social science for the sake of the in
dividual human beings.
The settlement house holds possi
bilities of the greatest benefits to the
individual and to society, said Doctor
Ryan. Here, whatever energies OF
time or money may be expended viii
bring rich returns. Unfortunately
there are very few settlement houses
probably less than dozen in America
under Catholic auspices. That main
tanned by the Minneapolis League OF
| Catholic Women is one of the mos
| important and successful in the United
| States. Catholics are naturally con
servative, and because the settlement
house is new institution and because
| it has been used ip some instances
for proselytizing, Catholics do not take
very readily to this very importan

Reverend John A. Ryan, d. D., of
the Catholic University of America,
Washington, D. c., spoke at dinner
given in his honor by the Minneap-
oils League of Catholic Women, Mon
day evening, July 21, at seven o'clock
His subject was The Progressive De-
velopment of Social Service. The
Most Reverend Archbishop Bowling
was unavoidably absent. The assem-
bly, hall of the League where the din
ner was given was filled to overflow
ing with the guests and number OF
tables were prepared in the cafeteria.
Several priests of the Twin Cities
were present. Very Reverend j. M.
Cleary, dean of the Minneapolis clergy,
said grace. The speaker of the even
ing was introduced by Mrs. McGee,
president of the League.
Doctor Ryan reminded his hearers
that the science of social service had
developed to such an extent that indl.
viduals and societies engaged in social
service were finding that they had to
confine their energies more and more
to one or another department of re-
lief work or at most, to a few depart,
ments. The explanation of this de
velopment, Father Ryan said, is that
those charitably inclined, philanthropy
lists, students of sociology, and others
have been studying social distress in
it's causes: and when we begin study
ing anything in its causes the pos
sibilities of development are incaleul
able.
AS to the Minneapolis League OF
Catholic Women who are carrying on
several lines of social relief work
their problem was essentially the
same as that of other similar organ
izations engaged in works of charity
viz: Shall we continue to support
and develop all of these various en-
terprises for social relief; or shall We

REBUILT CONVENT WILL BE MA
JOR REDMOND MEMORIAL.

The fortune of war has overtaken
the grave of Major William Redmond,
who was laid to rest in the peaceful
convent garden of Locre, Belgium.
The offensive of March, 1918, turned
that garden into ruin, where Major
Redmond's tomb is the only thing in
tact amongst the wreckage.
The poor nuns who gave the last
hospitality to the great Irishman are
themselves homeless now, and are
only just beginning to return and
camp in rough huts and the ruins
The grave itself was right inside a
trench line, eventually held first by
French and then by Germans; and yet
it is intact. 1t is now proposed to help
rebuild the convent as fitting me-
mortal to Major Redmond and one out
of his own heart. Such a gift would
also assure him the continued prayers
of the Sisters. ~

RTEEN-YEAR-OLD BOY SETS A
RECORD.

+. Joseph Russell Sherlock, of New
York City, has made what is consid-
cred a most remarkable record in
primary school circles. Although
only thirteen years old Joseph, who
is a pupil of the Sisters of Notre Dame
in st. Joseph's school, captured four
free scholarships in as many differ
ent institutions in that city. One of
these scholarships, which is looked
upon as the blue ribbon event in
educational circles in New York, is
that which entitled the winner to a
