bursts Of congratulation, and a
Viva Pho Mono Papa lnfallibile.
We shall not say anything regard
ing the propriety of such proceed
ings in church; but there are
times when feeling is so powerful
as to break through all ideas Of
conventionality. AS soon as all
were quiet, with unfaltering voice
and excellent information the Pope
began the TIE Deum. 1t was
taken up alternately by the Sis
tine, choir and those present. At
the Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus, the
people took up the part of the Sis
tine choir, and kept it to the end,
alternating with the Bishops, and
with volume of sound that con:-
pletely drowned the delicate notes
of the Papal singers and which, if
not as musical as their chant, was
far more impressive. The session
ended with the apostolic benedic-
ton from the Holy Father, accom-
panied by an indulgence for all
assisting, in accordance with the
custom Of the Church. Thus
passed one Of the most momentous
and remarkable occasions the
world has ever witnessed, a day
henceforth memorable in the an
nails Of the Church and Of man.
kind, the results of which the
human mind is scarce capable of
grasping.
Would it not be we'll to com
memorate the Golden Jubilee of
the solemn definition of Papal In
fallibility with at least a refer
ence to it in the services of next
Sunday, and take occasion to
explain it's meaning and scope to
the people?

ST, ANNE DE bEAUPRE
MIRACULOUS CURES WROUGHT
By DEVOTION TO MOTHER OF
MARY IMMACULATE -PlLGRlM-
AGES INCREASING.

Twenty miles from the historic city
of Beaupre, stand the shrine and the
basilica of the good Saint Anne. the
great woodworking benefactress of
the afflicted among men.
Nearly three centuries have passed
since the devout settlers and mission
aries from France introduced into the
New World their special devotion to
the mother of the Mother of God. So
miraculous were many of the results
of this devotion to st. Anne that thou
sands, even before the days of the
steamship and the railway, annually
made the pilgrimage to her shrine.
With the advent and development of
modern methods of transportation the
shrine became more accessible until
now every year scores of thousands of
American and Canadian pilgrims jour-
ney to the shrine of Beaupre.
On the very day, March IS, 1868,
on which the foundation of the first
church at Beaupre was begun the
good Saint Anne showed her approx
al of the undertaking. Weakened in
body by the grievous suffering he had
undergone but strong in his faith in
the power of the good Saint to heal
him, Louis Guimont, an inhabitant of
Beaupre, came forward and placed
three stones in the foundation of the
new church. Immediately thereafter
he found himself completely cured.
This was but the first of a long

the fame of the good st. Anne anc
the renown of her shrine at Beaupre
to the ends of the earth. The shrine
of st. Anne de Beaupre has become
scarcely less famous than that of her
Immaculate Daughter, Our Lady OF
Lourdes.
The lame, the halt and the blind, the
sorely afflicted in body and soul, come
in thousands to the shrine of ST.
Anne to implore her intercession for
their relief. The annals of Saint

THE SACRED HEART
POETIC INVOCATION WRITTEN BY
DE VALERA WHILE IN PRISON..

(The following poem, which we re-
publish by request, was written by
Eamonn De Valera, President of the
Irish Republic, on Sunday, May 20,
1916, after hearing Mass in the Bar
rack Square, Richmond Barracks,
Dublin, while awaiting execution after
being sentenced to death for being
commandment of the Irish Republican
army at Boland's Mills during the
Easter rising. While De Valera was
in jail his wife offered a nOvena to
the Sacred Heart for his release.)
0, Sacred Heart! Our hearts are
wholly Thine, :
Although we come not now before
Thy shrine,
Here, under heavens blue vault, we
kneel and pray,
From kindred, home and friendship
far away.
Thou, Sacred Heart, hast known the
prison cell;
The pangs of hunger Thou hast
known as well;
The soldiers rude assault has torn
Thy frame,
Their ribald speech blasphemed Thy
Holy Name.
The judges sentence has been Thine
like ours
The Wanton exercise of brutal pow
The doom of death has passed upon
Thy Heart,
A mothers tears were shed, as We did
part.
0, mother, for the love of thy dear
Son,
Be with us till our day Of life is done;
Bring us in love and mercy to His
feet,
To sing His praise and thine, in ac-
cent sweet,
0, Sacred Heart, grant us Thy pains
to share,
BY penance for our sins to make re-
pair,
Help us in patience to embrace Thy
will,
And follow in Thy footsteps to the
Hill. Amen.

A MEMORABLE DAY.

Next Sunday, July IS, is the
fiftieth anniversary Of the procla-
nation Of the dogma of Papal In
fallibility by Pope Plus TX at the
closing session Of the Vatican
Council which convened in Rome
on December 8, 1869.
His Eminence Cardinal Gibbons,
the youngest Bishop present at the
council, is the sole. survivor of the
1877 prelates in attendance at it's
sessions. In his latest work, "a
Retrospect Of Fifty Years." he
gives the following account Of the
proceedings Of that memorable
day:
The 18th of July will henceforth
be a memorable day in the history
of the Church. At nine o'clock
precisely His Eminence Cardinal
Barili began a Low Mass, without
chant. At the end of it the small
throne for the gospels was placed
on the altar, and upon it the copy
Of the sacred Scriptures. In a
few moments the Sovereign Pom
tiff entered, preceded by the SEN
ate and by the officers of his
court, and, after kneeling a few
moments at the prie-dieu, went to
his throne in the apsis of the aula.
The customary prayers were re-
cited by him; the Litany Of the
Saints was chanted, and the "Veni
Creator Spiritus entoned, the
people present taking part; after
which a Bishop assembled the pull
pit and read the schema to be
voted on, and finished with ask
ing the fathers whether it pleased
them. Monsignor Jacobini next,
from the pulpit, called the name
of each prelate assisting at the
council. Five hundred and thirty
four answered placet, two replied
non placet, and one hundred and
six were absent, some because
sick, the far greater number not
wishing to vote fayorably.
AS soon as the result was made
known officially to Plus TX, who
awaited it in silence, he rose, and
in clear, distinct and firm voice
announced the fact of all, with
the exception of two, having given
a favorable vote, wherefore he
continued, by virtue Of our apos.

Iof the Sacred Council, we define

seminary courses were decided upon
at the convention Of the National Ben
edictine Educational Association held
at st. Anselm's College, Manchester,

institutions of the United States, in
Guiding st. Demands College, Alaska,
were represented.
The sessions lasted four days and

The meeting was marked by the
attendance of many members of the
Swiss Congregation, who, while living
under the same rule as the American
Cassinese Congregation, heretofore
have had no relation with the mem
bers of that branch of the Benedic-
tines. Both congregations have we'll

THE PRECIOUS BLOOD.

The month of July is especially
dedicated to the Precious Blood of
Our Divine Saviour. In the Rae
colta, collection of indulgenced

the following indulgences at
tached to this devotion:
l. For any act of virtue or
piety in honor of the Precious

diligence, once a day.
b. A plenary indulgence on the
last day of July or on any one Of
the eight days following.
2. One hundred days indul-
gence every time, and a plenary
indulgence once during the month,
for this act of oblation:
Eternal Father, we offer Thee
the most Precious Blood of Jesus,
shed for us with such great love
and bitter pain from His Right
Hand; and through the merits
and efficacy Of that Blood we en-
treat Thy Divine Majesty to grant
us Thy holy benediction, in order
that we may be defended from all
our enemies, and be set free from
every i'll; whilst we say, May the
blessing of Almighty God, Father,
Son and the Holy Spirit, descend

lates how in many instances the hope
full prayers and staunch faith of the
suppliants find their answer in mirac-
ulOus cOures. The annals" likewise
publishes the grateful acknowledge
ments of countless others who have
received less extraordinary favors and
blessings.
AS the fame of the shrine goes
abroad and knowledge of the great
power of the Saint to whom it Is
dedicated becomes more widespread,
the devotion to st. Anne increases.
With each passing year the pilgrims
to her shrine grow more numerous.
The pilgrimages this year will be
during July and August and the num-
Der of pilgrims promises to be great
er than usual.
During the year from November,
1913, to November, 1919, 116 organ
lied pilgrimages aggregating over
Sd, 900 souls visited the shrine. In adj
dition private pilgrims and visitors TO
the number of $4,000 came to Beau
pre-. There were nearly 5000 Masses
celebrated and over 100000 Commun-
ions during the same period
An organized pilgrimage is a do
cesar, parOchial or religious group
gathered together with the approval
of the Bishop duly announced before
hand and entitled to special public
exercises: Mass, sermon, procession
and Renediction of tho Moct Rloccod
Sacrament. During the year 191S-1919
there were sixteen such pilgrimages
from United States dioceses; namely,
from Detroit, Mich; 2 from Buffalo,
N. Y; and 2 from Springfield, Mass;
one from each of the dioceses of Bos-
ton, Chicago, Fort Wayne, Ind, Hart

No Catholic need apply-for the
Presidency. There is a reason.
When the name Of Governor
Smith of New Yofkwas brought
before the Democratic convention
in San Francisco as a Presiden-
tial possibility, he was given a
twenty-three minute demonstra-
ton in which delegates from prac-
teal y all the states joined. 1t
was an evidence of his popularity,
but that is as far as it went. He
may be all right as Governor of
New York State, but the Presi-
dency Of the United States is an
other matter. Those who pro-
posed his name knew there was
no possibility of his nomination.
There are several Catholics prom
inent in the political life Of the
United States and even better
known to the general public than
either Of the Presidential nomi-
nees; but who dreams that any
one of them will ever reach the
Chief Executive chair? Oh yes
there is reason.

The Bible tells us that we
should keep ourselves "unspotted
from the world" This does not
mean that a Catholic is allowed to
miss Mass on Sunday morning
during the hot weather or eat
meat on Friday while on vacation
in order that he may not be
"spotted" as a Catholic by his
friends and fellow travellers
When one goes into a restaurant it
is instructive to note how few
make the Sign of the Cross before
they sit down to eat. Failure to
say Grace before meals very often
keeps Catholics "unspotted" from
the world.
