|. consecrated to the episcOpate by the
Metropolitan Of Rumania, Mgr. Metz
hammer, Archbishop of Bucharest.
The conservation took place in the
Metropolitan Cathedral at Bucharest.
Although the state religion of Ruma-
MIA is that of the Rumanian Schis-
matte Orthodox Church, the Rumania

gregation, of which congregation the
archbishop is member.j
A Great PiIgrimage.-Sixtyt thousand
pilgrims attended laying of the corner
stone of the new basilica of Notre
Dame de Loretto on the hill towering
above Lens in Artois, France. The
basilica will take the place Of the old
chapel which was the scene OF great
pilgrimages before the war. During
the conflict, in 1914 and 1915, the place
was the scene of terrific fighting and
the chapel, oftentimes taken and re-
covered, was completely destroyed.
More than 100000 were killed in the
vicinity. In the great new church
to be erected there will be lantern
tower 22O feet high, with a perma-
nent light in memory of the dead. M.
Gordonnier, who constructed the
palace of peace at the Hague, is the
architect.
Protestants Condemn Pogroms.-
The clergy and laity of all the nom
Catholic denominations in Dundalk,
Ireland, held 4 meeting recently and
strongly condemned the recent attacks
upon Catholics in Belfast and Lisburn.
Canon Hamilton, Rev. Mr.. Moody, and
Rev. Mr. Joynt deprecated and con-
demned these attacks, and emphasized
the fact that no provocation caused
by; outrages in other parts of the coun-
try justified them. The desire for re-
taliation or revenge, as Canon Hamil-
ton remarked, is, unfortunately, one
| that is planted in our nature; but the
feeling is absolutely un-Christian; it
| is our duty to subdue it. There is no
excuse for the crime of murder, and
| the angry passions which find vent
in acts of retaliation are also opposed
| to the Divine law.
Polish Nuns Give Banner to Bishop.
The Polish nuns of the Visitation,
of Warsaw, have presented sacred
banner, embroidered with the emblem
of the Sacred Heart, to the Bishop OF
the Polish army, Mgr. Stanislaus Gall,
who is titular bishop of Halicarnassus.
The banner is emblematic of the religi-
GUS fervor of the Poles and token
of their belief in the success of the
| national cause. In presenting the con-
secrated banner to the army bishop
the nuns reminded him how the
French troops, in some of the most
serious days of the late war, fixed
| the emblem of the Sacred Heart on
their regimental colors and of the
| confidence that sustained the troops,
carrying them on to ultimate victory.
The value of religious confidence in
| battle was recalled to Bishop Gall by
| the Polish nuns, who quoted the state
because all France was praying for
me-" With the same assurance the
Polish nuns delivered their consecrat-
ed banner into the hands of the army
bishop, saying that their prayers
would follow it wherever it was car
ried in the cause of Poland.
Gift to the White Fathers.-The
ground in Carthage, Africa, contain
ing the amphitheater where st. Per-
petua and st. Felicite met their glori-
Gus martyrdom, now belongs, appro-
priately to the White Fathers. When
the missionaries of Algiers, sent by
| Cardinal Lavigerie, arrived at Car
thage on June Is, 1875, the site of
the amphitheater was all but lost.
Great blocks of masonry, fallen pell-
nell, one on top of another, stood out
here and there, enclosing sort of ell
| liptical basin where nomads had
spread their tents. 1t was not long
before Cardinal Lavigerie, who had a
great devotion to the Saints, succeed
ed in purchasing the ground which
| was the field of their triumph, ex-
| cavations were begun and the workers
discovered the subterranean vault
| which was later converted into a
| chapel. Now on the feast day of st.
Perpetua and st. Felicite, a Solemn
High Mass is celebrated in this under
ground chapel. The two martyrs per-
ished at the very dawn of Christian
Faith, but their memory is kept fra
grant by the veneration of the White
