CHURCH IS BURNED
LANDMARK NEAR DUBLlNSIS DE
STROYED BY FIRE.

The destruction by fire on a recent
Monday morning of the Church of Our
Lady of Refuge, RathEines, near Dub
lin, Ireland, is the greatest calamity
of the kind which has occurred in
Ireland within living memory. The
church, which is one of the largest in
the diocese, was completed in 1858,
and consecrated by Cardinal Cullen
in 1856 It's beautiful portico. sur
mounted by a noble statue of Our
Lady, was not completed till 1880
From 1881 till now the parish has
been continuously under the charge OF
the same parish priest. Father Fricker
and during that period he has devoted
himself constantly to the adornment
of the interior Of the church. The
ground plan is in the fern of Greek
cross, and the materials for construc
ton were almost wholly obtained il
Ireland. The High Altar, consecrateC
by DR.. Donnelly, Bishop of Canea, il
1884, is one of the finest in Ireland
The corners of the portico have effec
tive statues of ST. Patrick and St. Lau
renee O'Toole, and fortunately they
as we'll as the great statue of Oul
Lady, are still intact.

JAPANESE IN CALIFORNIA
MARYKNOLL TO TAKE OVER
WORK FOR JAPANESE CATHO-
Lies ON PACIFIC SLOPE.

Permanent arrangements for the
care of Japanese Catholics on the
Pacific Coast are well under way. The
Roman Congregation of the Propagan-
da, which supervises mission activity,
has sanctioned the agreement recently
made between Bishop Cantwell of Los
Angeles and the Catholic Foreign
Mission Society of America, whose
Headquarters are at Maryknoll Ossin-
ing, Ny.
The work for the Japanese had al
ready made considerable progress
under Rev. Albert Breton, of the Paris
Foreign Missions. Several years serv-
ice in Japan had familiarized Father
Breton with the language and char
acter of the Japanese. With the as
sistance of community of Japanese
Nuns, he was and is accomplishing
much good, not only in Los Angeles,
but in San Francisco and Sacramento,
as we'll
On Father Breton's initiative, that
there might be no interruption of the
WOIh Ill event vi HIS 1udDlllIy w VII
tinue it, Bishop Cantwell invited the
| Maryknoll organization to take over
| the work. One of the priests of the
Society will presently Join Father Bre-
ton, who will guide his efforts and in
struct him in the Japanese language
and traditions.
| The Maryknoll Sisters will, a little
later on, join forces with the already
established Japanese Community, and
| the cooperation of the two will ad
vance the work and permit the estab
| lishment of new centers.
Bishop O'Dea Of Seattle has recently
approved the establishment of similar
work in his city, and it is hoped tina
in a few years every Japanese colony
on the Pacific Slope will be provided
with ample opportunities for acquir
ing knowledge of the True Faith, ant
ample facilities for fulfilling its obi
cations.

FORTY SISTERS PERISH
FIFTY OTHERS IN VI EN- NJ A
ORPHANAGE TOO WEAK TO
RISE-SEVEN MILLION PERSONS
STARVING.

Most Rev. S. G. Messmer, Arch
bishop of Milwaukee, Wis, has issued
an appeal to all the citizens of Mil
waukee County in behalf Of relief for
the starving people OF Austria espe-
cially of Vienna. The city and county
of Milwaukee are raising at least
100000 for the purpose. Archbishop
Messmer says in substance:
With the approval of the govern
ment the campaign will be extended
throughout the United States. Mr.
Hoover declares that the conditions in
Austria are the worst in all Europe.
A dispatch to The Chicago Tribune
states that the food supplies of the
Republic of Austria are entirely eX-
hausted, and that nearly seven mil
lion persons are starving. The situa-
ton Of the two million inhabitants
Of Vienna is even worse than that of
the others in Austria. The surviving
children are virtually all invalids,
stunted in growth and without vital
stamina. Most of them have soft
bones and can scarcely walk. In a
Catholic Orphanage in Vienna, where
| 400 children are taken care Of, fifty
Sisters are compelled to remain in
bed because they are TOO weak from
lack of nourishment to even rise
Forty Sisters have died of hunger.

KING EDWARD VII.
SAID TO HAVE DIED A CATHOLIC
LONDON CORRESPONDENT AS
SERTS THAT FACT WAS GIVEN
HIM BY PRIEST WHO BAPTIZED
LATE HEAD OF BRITISH EMPIRE
ON DEATH-BED.

A correspondent of the Catholic
Tribune had a very interesting talk
with a priest in London on that topic
which, ever since it was first discuss
ed, has been severely discountenanced
and suppressed in the highest circles
the topic as to whether the late King
Edward VII died Catholic. This
writer says: ...
My informant is, as | have said, a
priest, and the conversation took
place in a hotel overlooking Buck
ingham Palace. '''
'Do you believe there is any truth
in the rumOr that King Edward was
received into the Church on his death
bed?" | asked this priest.
1T is not a question OF believing in
any rumor about it," he replied. Il
know it. There is no question of a
rumor at all He was baptized. and
what is more, | know the priest who
baptized him." Here he mentioned
the name of the priest.
knowing this is absolutely true,
he continued, "Other circumstances
matter very Little at all. But Just I'M
derstand what happened. 1t was
known that King Edward was dying,
and the Archbishop of Canterbury was
sent for Immediately.
when the Archbishop reached
buckingham Palace he was kept wait
ing in an ante-rOOm, and did not have
access to the bedchamber where the
King lay dying Now it was just dur
ing that time that the priest whose
name | mentioned to YOU. received
King Edward into the Catholic Church
and baptized him.
after an interval the Archbishop
of Canterbury was admitted to the
Kings bedside But the King was un
conscious, and the ArchbishOp's min
istratiOns were confined to cOnsOla
ton for those who were Walching.
Now all this, or at least all that
happened while the Archbishop OF
Canterbury was kept waiting in the
| ante-chamher has been denied and il
| will continue to be denied, and sup
| pressed if possible. Nevertheless, il
| is the whole truth, and | know the
| priest who baptized the King.
But although there is no documen
| taTy proof Of this baptism, the pries
| is alive who performed the ceremony
| AS I have said. it will be denied, bu
| the fact remains for all that, and there
! is not the slightest doubt that Kins
| Edward VII died a member Of the
| Catholic Church, having been received
at his own desire, though he did no
receive the Blessed Sacrament in hi
dying moments

necessity for reconstruction work. He
