PRIEST KILLED
LOST CONTROL OF AUTOMOBILE
WHILE ON WAY TO CELEBRATE
MASS.

Rev. Blasius Moors, C. SIS. c., of
Our Lady of Lourdes Church, Olema,
Cal, was killed Saturday morning,
January II, while driving an automo-
bile to Bolinas. He was on his way
there to celebrate Mass, and being not
yet very familiar with the automobile,
he probably must have lost control of
the machine, which, on a down grade,
capsized, and pinned Father Moors
under it, he dying of suffocation.
The young priest was Belgian and
arrived in California last December.

THE URGENT NEED OF
VOCATIONS.

Not within the memory OF the
present generation has there been
so widespread and so persistent
an appeal for religious vocatlons
as at present. Naturally, Europe
has felt and will continue to feel
with increasing dearth the need
of more men and women to carry
on the work of religion in church
and school, in hospital and mis-
sion. The war has wiped out
thousands Of lives among the
ranks Of religious workers; it has
incapacitated other thousands,
while the hopes of many aspiring
youths to enter the services OF
God in religion have been blasted
beyond recall.
In our own country, while but
slightly affected by the war, the
universal cry is for more voca-
tons to the priesthood, as well as
to the ranks Of Brothers and Sis
tiers. Formerly it seemed strange
to see advertisements in our pa
pers and magazines for religious
and clerical vocations: today the
various orders are making pub
lie campaign to attract tit sub
iects to assist them in the III
creased and growing works that
flourish everywhere. The open
ing Of schools and hospitals, as
we'll as of other institutions, fire.
quently is delayed for lack OF a
working force among the Sister
hoods and Brotherhoods.
The Bishops are pleading for
more priests: the foreign missions
are dying out in many places for
need of workers. Western do
ceses are opening, often at painful
sacrifice, preparatory semlnarles
for boys and young men to re-
plenish the depleted, or never
filled, ranks Of the local clergy.
Not few Bishops of the Western
States appeal yearly to the more
populous centers Of the East for
priests and students. TO the
credit of the East be it said that
these appeals are not in vain.
We are told that the Bishop OF
Duluth is visiting all the parishes
of his diocese, personally pleading
for vocations and for financial as
sistance for the education OF SEM
inarians.
Such a state Of things at pres
ent should arouse our Catholic
people to the necessity of doing
their part towards furthering the
work Of God in this regard. Usu-
ally, parents are reluctant to
/ close their boys or girls by al
lowing them to become priests or
nuns. Such an attitude is unjust
as well as dangerous. 1t is I'M
Catholic Rather should they at
ford every opportunity to their
offspring to reach out to the
higher things of life by enrolling
in the ranks of God s chosen min
listers or devoted spouses. The
tremendous good accomplished by
even one priest or religious is not
calculable in human figures. Only
the scales Of God can adequately
measure the weight thrown by
His servants on the side Of right
eousness and salvation for the
multitude. A priest or religious
in Catholic family is usually
heavens seal Of appreciation on
father and mother. This is God S
way Of showing spiritual compen-
sation to the. families Of His serv-
ants and Workmen. He will not
/ be outdone, even by a whole fam
lily Of priests or religious.

IRISH BONDS AND AMERICAN
LOYALTY.

Bonds OF the IRISH RepuDllc Will
be offered for sale in Twin City
drive starting February IA, and
continuing through the week.
Should loyal Americans, Of Irish
extraction, or otherwise. buy
these bonds? They should, and
they will.
No British propaganda, no
Anglo-maniac, but has too much
regard for his own health, ii not
for the truth, even so much as
to hint to the men who have al
ready announced their intention
of buying these bonds, that they
are not loyal Americans. No, the
willy propaganda dare not, III the
face of American history or to
the face of an Irish-American,
question that 1rish-American is
synonymous with loyal American.
Instead, counting on the very
jealousy with which the Irish
American maintains his reputa-
ton for answering loyalty, the
astute B. P. will insinuate that
neither sympathy with the Irish
Republic nor the purchase OF Irish
bonds is consistent with American
loyalty. There is a short and con-
elusive answer.
The United States Senate, the
legislatures of New York, of Mas
sachusetts and of Rhode Island,
the governors of New York and
of Wisconsin, the city councils OF
New York. of Boston, OF Cleve-
land, of Milwaukee, of Mime
apolis and of st. Paul, to mention
but a few, are better judges OF
American loyalty than any British
propaganda.
The United States Senate by a
vote of 60 to l demanded that
President Wilson obtain from the
Peace Conference a hearing, for
President De Valera and his col
leagues. Even the most highly
paid British propaganda lacks
the. nerve, and to give him his
due. probably has too much sense,
to venture the suggestion that the
entire Senate is either so ignorant
or SO disloyal as to give aid and
comfort to these men if they were,
or ever had been, enemies OF this
country or traitors to their own.
Denials of these facts being i'm
possible, the B. P. can only hope
that they will be forgotten or
their significance overlooked.
But Just as the B. P. is begin
ming to hope that this inconsid-
crate and embarrassing action OF
the United States Senate is being
forgotten, the legislature Of the
State of New York revives his
embarrassment. That legislature,
which is so jealous of its own
standards of loyalty, that it has
Just refused to seat five Socialists,
not because Of doubts of their
own, but merely Of their party S
loyalty, endorses by a unanimous
vote both the aims and the bonds
of the Irish Republic.
And, as if this were not enough,
the poor B. P. finds himself faced
with the additional and perilous
task of impugning the intelligence
or the good sense, or both, OF Gov
ernor Smith Of New York, of Gov
ernor Phillips of Wisconsin, Of
Mayor Hodgson of St. Paul, of
innumerable city councils and in
Vulnerable public bodies and pub
lie men.
No-there are some facts to
which even British propaganda
can not rise superior-which even
it dare not misrepresent. 1t can
only hope that they will pass I'M
noticed or be forgotten. May
this at least serve to Danish that

THRILLING with SPIRIT
UALISM.

After every great war the
minds Of those who have lost
dear ones in the conflict turn nat
urally to thoughts Of the hereaf-
ter. The denial of a future life
is at such times brushed aside by
all men as sheer nonsense Death
has a tendency to bring the souls
of men around with a jolt, and to
make them look squarely into the
eternal verities Of life and the
future. u.s.. ...
For the Catholic there is no
doubt in the matter. His creed
tells him that there is future
life, and that the souls Of his dear
departed are now in state of
happiness or of suffering. lie,
therefore, applies himself to the
exercises Of religion. He offers
prayers, penance, Holy Commun-
ion, Masses, and all the other suf-
frages inspired in him by his
faith.
The unbeliever knows not
where to turn. He is dazed by
lack Of an anchorage, and he
drifts out on the sea Of I'M
certainty, ready to attach himself
to any piece Of wreckage that
promises stability. In this state
Of trepidation he becomes an easy
and willing prey to the artful de-
ceivers known as splritualists.
Anxious to learn the whereabouts
Of a son, a father or a friend, he
places his mind in a receptive
state to receive impressions that
seem to answer his queries and to
satisfy his warnings. The fact
that such names as Flammarion,
the French astronomer; Sir Oliver
Lodge, w. II. Stead, and other
men Of note, are quoted as believ-
ers in the manifestations Of the oc-
cult, quiets any misgiving he may
entertain as to the reality of the
revelations made in the various
seances.
Now, the Catholic Church has
severely condemned any and all
spiritualistic dabbling in the re.
condite matters Of the future life
She knows from experience that
Satan sometimes appears in hu,
man form and interferes in the
affairs of men; but she also knows
that the usual seance is made uI
