IS THIS JUST 3?
HOUSE IMMIGRATION BILL Ex-
CLUDES NUNS AND LAY BROTH
ERS FROM COMING HERE.

(By N. C. w. c.. News Service.)
Catholic Nuns and lay Brothers are
excluded from coming into the United
States by the provisions of the immi-
grafton bill which recently passed the
House of Representatives and which is
now in the hands of the Senate COM
mittee on immigration.
The bill does not exclude ministers
of any religious denomination, bona
fde students at educational institu-
tons, travellers or temporary sojourn-
ers for business and pleasure and the
families. attendants, servants and en-
ployes of government officials.
But the members of religious orders
whose function it is simply to teach,
and hundreds of whom have come
from great educational institutions of
Europe to prove the bulwark of the
system of Christian education in the
United States, will be excluded from
entering the country if the bill passes
the Senate in it's present form.
Practically every religious teaching
order in the United States owes its
foundation to men and women who
have, come here from foreign lands
anxious to undertake the care and edu-
cation of the young. Many of the
teaching orders have their headquar-
ters in foreign countries. A large
number of them call upon their estab-
lishments in these foreign countries
for trained instructors and specialists
and even, when threatened by paucity
of teachers, for assistants in the lower
grades.
That these men and women, who
are willing to devote their lives to the
training of Americas children, and
whose predecessors furnished the best
safeguards against the radicalism
which it is understood the provisions
of the new bill are chiefly aimed at,
has caused a profound sensation
among Catholic educators. A deter
mined effort will be made to have the
Senate pass an amendment which will
rectify the anomalous condition.

terprises, notably so in the recent
campaign for education. The
reason for the poor response to the
call of charity, therefore, must lie
in the fact that our people have
simply overlooked the matter.
Now, it is not slight derelic-
ton to overlook Christ in His
poor; it is a rather serious breach
of faith. Christ was born poor,
miserably poor; He lived and died
poor. At birth He owned not a
cradle; at death He had not even
tomb of His own. His life was
spent among the poor. To para
phrase a sentence Of Lincoln
"God must love the poor, since
He made so many of Them
Would it not be well at this
holy season to get out that Christ
mas list, add the name Of the
Christ Child, and then send an
offering in His name to the society
at room 2O5 Wilder Building, St.
Paul? That donation will speed
as fast as loving hands can make
it to the howell of St. Paul family.
There it will bring material COM
forts. cheer the downcast, brighten
the face of the pallid sick, send a
thrill through little hearts, give
you the JOY of a good deed we'll
done, and then bring down upon
your head and home the blessing
of Him who promised a reward for
a cooling drink Of water.
Now is the time to act, since
now is the moment when the. poor
suffer the most keenly. 1t is a
mild winter? Yes, but the winter
has but begun; besides, when a
home lacks fuel, clothes and food,
the difference in temperatures is
hardly noticed, so great is the suf-
fering in a heatless, foodless
house.

Sir John Lavery, who was born in
Belfast in 1857 and who has made his
way in life without favor, until he
has reached the front rank of modern
painters, has just completed a paint
ing of the interior of Southwark Ca

the clergy were passing up the aisle
of the Cathedral behind the process

Republican flag.
Archbishop Mannix, who figures
prominently in the picture, has just
paid a visit to Sir John Lavery's
studio to view the picture, which, it
is stated, is likely to become one of
the most interesting paintings Of mod
ern times.
Sir John Lavery, who studied art
in London, Glasgow, and Paris, is an
associate of both the London Royal
Academy and the Royal Hibernian
Academy. He has exhibited his
works, among other great cities, in
New York, and his pictures are to be
found in the public picture galleries
in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia.

RELIGIOUS BLUES.

Some years ago it was said that
America never would be dry ma
ton. The wonder was achieved,
however, and since then it is
merely gamble as to how far the
American people WILDE led in any
kind of scheme or reform.
A movement has been launched
to make the Sunday a deep,
'somber blue. The attempt is
called a move to promote a Sun
day observance law. In virtue of
such a legal enactment the Sunday
would pass by each week without
being disgraced by any form of
amusement, even the most inno-
cent; golf, baseball, Transports
ton, automobiles, etc., would be
under the ban; men would be leg
islated into holiness. Against
their will would they be forced to
become saints-on Sunday, even if
they continued the most nefarious
practices ON the other six days of
the week. -
Now the Protestant churches of
this country seem to be going
from one ridiculous extreme to an
other. Evidently they never
heard Of the gnat and the camel.
In the name of the gospel of Christ
they perpetrate every kind of
fanatical nonsense. Ignoring the
most sacred doctrines of the
Saviour-the indissoluble mar
riage bond, the supremacy of the
Pope, the unity of faith, the value
OF the sacraments, the Real Pres
ence and the ,Mass-these fanatics,
that is, the leaders of this move
ment, would place obnoxious
burdens on the backs Of their fell
low men. The preachers cannot
by any means draw congregation
Of faithful on Sunday, and so they
will try to force all men to become
victims of gloom and wearers Of
the blue livery.
Professionalism never has been
logical: it had an illogical birth.
it was an abortion. Hence many
OF it's votaries continue to exhibit
the symptoms of the freak. A
man may obtain divorce from
his lawful spouse; he may leave
her and his children to charity or
worse; he may take unto himself
another woman, and even several
more, if he complies with certain
formality. But woe betide that
man if he dare ride in an automo,
bile on Sunday! The fires of hell
upon his head if he dare light a
cigar! Eternal perdition be his
portion If he throw a baseball.

THE FIRST DECADE.

The Catholic Bulletin modestly
announces to a more or less indif-
ferent world that ten years have
rolled by since the first issue of
this paper was offered to the
Catholics of the northwest. A
publication that would set forth
the Catholic point of view, that
would uphold our ideals and de-
fend our interests, was rather
seriously needed. True. there
were some excellent Catholic
weeklies throughout the country
but the local field was well nigh
untouched in many respects. This
paper aimed to fill the needs, and
that it has done so to some extent
is left to the Judgment Of the
faithful readers.
The late Archbishop Ireland,
after consulting his advisers, de-
termincd to found a Catholic pa
per that would keep his people in
close touch with the Church and
all that she represents in the
world of religion and civilization.
The Catholic Bulletin was the re-
suit Of that great Prelatc's de-
cision. During his life he took
supreme interest in the fortunes
of his paper: he made it the me-
dunn of his noted messages to the
Catholics of the northwest and of
the nation at large. He watched
it's growth and rejoiced at its sue
cess, never relaxing for a moment
his keen watchfulness over its
policies which he dictated.
At this it's tenth milestone. The
Catholic Bulletin pauses to thank
it's supporters for their loyalty
it rejoices in the friends it has
made and the few enemies it has
flushed and brought into the open.
With grateful heart does it turn
to the present Metropolitan for
his fervent good wishes. And to
the business firms Of the north
west it acknowledges heartily the
cooperation which it has ever
received from them while offering
them a high class medium for the
presentation Of their respective
merits.
This paper shall continue to
give the best and most useful
service of which it is capable. 1t
asks in return the loyal support
Of our Catholic people, mindful of
the Holy Fathers admonition that
"a Catholic paper in the home is
a perpetual mission.

"A Solemn Requiem Mass for the

PUT THIS ON YOUR LIST,

Around the Christmas season
one casts about to see if he has
forgotten any friend to whom he
owes the duty of a token expressed
in a material sense. Few persons
there are but would like to bring
needed cheer and comfort to some
poor unfortunate, a little help
where it is sorely wanted, a real
useful present. Often this duty is
neglected, because in the stress of
daily distractions one does not
know just where to find such a
case.
Now, the st. Vincent de Paul
society exists precisely for the
purpose of finding these eases. It's
search is always richly rewarded ;
it comes upon the Christ Child in
the person of his poor in many and
various places. It's officers and
workers take not one penny for
themselves; every cent is poured
out in 100 per cent relief. Christ
said that it is more blessed to give
than to receive: God knows we
all realize how truly blessed it is
to receive when we are i'll need,
whether Of financial assistance or
Of heartfelt sympathy. How great
then must be the joy Of the Chris
tian giver if it exceeds that Of the
needy receiver.
This society reports that in st,
Paul it's receipts last year were
considerably less than in the pre-
ceding years. True, the late Mr..
Michael Foley, as well as Mrs.
Klein, bequeathed goodly sums for
the work Of the organization. But
it must be remembered that these
sums will not be available for at
least six months; and even then
but the interest will be expended
in works Of relief.

ST. Paul Catholics have frequently
been exemplified in religious en-

A SILVER JUBILEE
REV. J. N. Balm, S. NJ, PASTOR
OF ST. LOUIS CHURCH, cELE-
DRAFTED QUARTER OF CENTURY
IN PRIESTHOOD.

Last Sunday, December 49, ST. Louis
parish in this city celebrated the sill
yer jubilee Of the ordination to the
priesthood of it's pastor, the Very Rev.
j. M. Bazin, S. NJ, together with the
solemn opening of the sanctuary. For
the past few months the sanctuary
had been hidden from view by cur
tains and scaffoldings, while the local
artists Lalonde decorated the walls
with two masterpieces representing,
the solemn Communion of Joan of
Arc, and ST. Louis rendering justice.
The celebrant of the Mass was Very
Rev. j. M. Bazin S. M, the jubilarian;
the deacon, Father LeFlem, S. NJ; the
subdeacon, Father J. P. Ries, S. M,
and the master of ceremonies, Father
A. M. Cyr, S. M. The orator of the
day said in part: my dear people,
you deserve to be congratulated. You
have not rested till your church was
finished, furnished, decorated and paid
for entirely; you deserve credit for
your undaunted faith in yourselves
and your Church, and you have reason
to be proud of your building and proud
OF your pastor" The speaker then
turned to the Jubilarian and said: ITO
be humble, fair-minded and just, what
beautiful disposition to possess 1t
makes for progress, friendship, better
citizens, devout parishioners; and
Wlthal, the man who has these virtues
is big man in every sense of the
word"
The choir under the direction of
Miss ~O'Connor helped to beautify the
services of the Mass, and after weeks
Of patient work, they deserve mention
as they have given unsparingly of their
time and talents.
In the afternoon the parishioners
met in the parish hall. Addresses
were made by the parishioners and
the visiting clergy, and a beautiful
chalice was presented to the Jubilar
ian.
Father A. M. Cyr, S. NJ, organized
this festival, unknown to the pastor
and the people also thank him.
The entertainment, including short
Christmas play, carefully prepared by
the Sisters of st. Joseph, was splen

pupils of St. Louis school deserve great
credit for making this "Seance" the
success that it was.

A WISH.

Two thousand years ago the
world lived the life Of paganism.
Each people had it's particular
customs. followed vague tradi-
tons, and rejoiced for local rea-
sons.
Then a Child was born under
peculiarly narrowing conditions.
He was to all appearances but the
offspring of plain couple identi-
fed with the lowest social stratum
of humanity. He grew apace,
spent His years with artisans,
fsherfolk and the proletariat of
the day. For a short period He
flashed across the limited horizon
of the despised Judea as a Man of
wonders. Then He died and was
consigned to a tomb loaned by a
man of feeling and sympathy. If
ever appearances were deceptive,
surely in this case did they totally
misrepresent the truth.
That lowly Jew mysteriously
came back to life. At His birth
the very humblest Of the people
dared refuse Him the hospitality
Of decent shelter; His death was
the signal for eleven million val
liant men, women and children to
march joyfully. down three CEN
turtles, to horrible destruction that
they might testify to their love
for Him. 1t required seven hun
dred years for the mighty armies
and genius Of Rome to conquer
the world this Jew overthrow the
empire without army or material
force. Within a few years the
whole world lay PROSTATE, willing
captivcs, at His feet.
Today millions ignore or reject
that Man of Judea, even as did
their forebears in Palestine. But
countless millions, the earnest
ones Of the race, look up to Him
as their only hope. They worship,
love and adore Him, and place all
their heart s affection in the act.
It is our fervent wish that the
family Of Catholic Bulletin read
ers grow in love and clinging
ycarning towards the Saviour Of
mankind. May their knowledge
Of His wondrous nature keep pace
with their affection; may Ills
choicest personal gifts be theirs,
and may His most abundant mcr-
cics be scattered throughout our
largc family Of devoted and loyal
friends.
