It IS FOR EVER
INSPIRING RELIGIOUS CEREMONY
HELD ON HILL OF LORRAINE.

BY a magnificent religious ceremony
the people of Lorraine celebrated the
return of their province into the
French unity which had been broken
by the war of 1870.
In the center of the Lorraine plain,
solitary hill towering above a hun
dred villages, is crowned with the
ruins of the castle of Vaudemont-the
cradle of the family of the Dukes of
Lorraine and of the Emperors of
Austria-and the Basilica of Notre
Dame de Sion, the prOtectress of Lor-
raine.
In 1873, 10000 Lorrainers had as
sembled on the hill for the purpose of
placing on the Virgins altar, as a
token of mourning and of hope. a
broken Lorraine cross bearing the fol
lowing inscriptions: 1T is not for
ever"
On the day of the recent celebration
to commemorate the return of the lost
province, led by senators and deputies
from all over Lorraine, thousands and
thousands of pilgrims scaled the
Vaudemont hill. In the presence of
the Bishops of Metz, Nancy, Stras-
bourg, Verdun, st. Die, and LuXem-
bourg, they attended a solemn Mass
in the open air, after which the two
pieces of the Lorraine Cross were
bound together with a golden string
and replaced at the foot of the Virgin
with the new inscriptions: 1T is for
ever"

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
APPEAL TO PRIESTS FOR RELIC.
IOUS vOCATIONS,
Reverend and Dear Father:

Reverend and Dear Father:
May l not take the liberty of tres
passing on your time with the view of
enlisting your active interest and
hearty cooperation in a cause which |
know is dear to you-the increase of
members in our Society.
AS priest, you are in a position
to direct into our ranks boys and
young men of character and intellect
who have no desire for the priesthood
but who may wish to become members
of a religious congregation engaged in
the work of education. There are, |
feel certain, many such, who, had they
received an encouraging word, would
now be serving God in some religious
congregation as Jealous instructors in
the class room.
By instructing such young men in
the life and work of the Christian
Brothers, or by having them call on or
communicate with me, you become a
real benefactor to the Christian
Brothers and greatly promote the
work in which we are engaged. Your
aid in this direction will be appre-
ciated.
If our eighth grade boys cannot
complete their education in some Cath
Ollie high school because of a lack of
religious teachers, their faith may be
shattered and their morals weakened
by being forced into goddess institu-
lions and thus placed under the
int oil Of OIL nio or
or the unbeliever, whose hatred OF
Catholicity and whose opposition to all
things Catholic are ever at the boiling
point. May God protect the poor Cath
Ollie boy who is placed under such
pernicious influence! His credulity,
! inexperience, and susceptibility, rem
der him an easy victim for these
| agents of hell.
Every priest knows, every thought
full mind knows, that this is not
| wholesome atmosphere for our Catho-
| lie boys. But unless there are men,
religious men, to take up the work
where the good Sisters leave off, there
is no other alternative for the big
majority of the boys graduating from
the eighth grade classes of our paro
chial schools
Assuring you of my grateful appre-
citation and the lasting gratitude of
the Christian Brothers for any as
sistance you may give in this all i'm
portant work, | am reverend and dear
Father,
Yours cordially,
| BROTHER JULIUS.

CATHOLIC INDIANS
TWO IMPORTANT CONGRESSES
HELD IN THE NORTHWEST
HOLY FATHER SENDS BLESS
ING.

Two important congresses of Cath
Ollie Indians belonging to tribes in
Montana and in North and South Da-
kota have been held this month, bring
ing together some thousands of men,
women and children for spiritual and
educational benefits. Six tribes were
represented in the congress, held at
Fort Peck, Mont, on July 10, II, II
and 10.
Pope Benedict sent a special cable
gram to this congress to convey to
these faithful Indian children of the
Church the apostolic blessing. Right
Rev. Matthias c. Lehman, Bishop of
Great Falls, and several Benedictine
missionaries attended the congress
Bishop Lenihan delivered a sermon.
The Indians attended Mass every
morning of the congress-; and there
was large number of communicates
each day.
The Congress of Catholic Sioux was
held in Lead, South Dakota, on July 16,
II and 10. Right Rev. John J. Law
Ter, Bishop of Lead, and Right Rev.
Thomas O'Gorman, Bishop of Sioux
Falls, and several of the Jesuit Faith
ers of the Catholic Indian Missions in
North and South Dakota were pres
ent.
These congresses have been found
to be of great help to the Catholic In
dams. They furnish occasions for
meetings of various religious organ
izations, such as sodalities, and offer
opportunities for spiritual instruction
and Improvement.

Turton: The New st. Joseph's
Church is nearing completion. To
give thorough description of it
would be too long, and would afford
a very faint idea Of the real beauty
of that church, standing on the little
ridge that overlooks the fertile val
ley of the Jim River. To claim that
it is a reproduction of the beautiful
Gothic creation of the Middle Ages
would be Untrue. We cannot rival
the churches of other countries in
this day and generation, nor can we
hope to restore the eXternals of the
Gothic style, but we can endeavor to
recreate the underlying spirit of it.
This is what has been tried in the
planning of st. Joseph's Church.
Without any exaggeration, this
church will be, when entirely COM
pleted, a rare work of art in this
Northwest. And without boasting
We dare say, that it will be one of the
most beautiful examples of Church
The pastor, Rev. J.
Barre, deserves praise for the idea of
such a church, and Mr.. Lundie, the
deserves also great credit
for the way he planned the structure,
grand in its simple and severe ap-
pearance.

Holiness, Pope Benedict, who dis
played great interest in accounts OF

much impressed by the activities
among the blind of France and Amer

the work among the Italians. Miss
Holt, who is president of an Italian
American Association for, the Protec'
ton of the Blind, was also received

Admirable Historic de Joseph. By
Able F. Rouault Published by
Pierre Tequi, Paris. Price 40 cents.
The fascinating story of Joseph and
his brothers in the Old Testament is
here set forth for the youthful reader.
The narrative takes the form of dia-
lOgue, in which a mother relates to
her children the chief incidents in the
life of the wonderful youth of ancient
times. The work has also a didactic
value, as moral lessons and reflections
are woven into the recital, and the
style is that of the public story-teller
Jeanne Dare. By E. Roupain, S. J.
Published by Tequi, Paris. Price so
cents.
For the writer or lecturer these
sketches, or historical pictures of the
life of the sainted heroine, are of con-
siderable value. They consist of a
number of brief papers on the various
phases and incidents in the career of
the Maid of Domremy. They are pre-
scented from a critical standpoint, and
mooted details in the life of st. Joan
are sifted and clarified under the light
of documents and authentic records
To student of the life of st. Joan it
is pleasant to read that the question
of the document of abjuration, which
| the Saint is supposed to have signed
seriously, is made clear, and the good
name and heroic fortitude of La Pu
celle are thereby indicated. This
work is enriched with an ample bib
biography.
