PRAISE AMERICAN BISHOPS
IRISH CATHOLIC TRUTH SOCIETY
TO SPREAD NOTED PAMPHLET.

Opening with the stimulus of tele-
gram from the Pope, the recent Con-
ference of the Catholic Truth Society
of Ireland was the most remarkable
in the Society's career.
"The world is not improving. There
is only one hope of salvation for hui
manity. That is to cling closely to
Catholic truth and Catholic teaching,
and cling closely to our Holy Father,
the Pope" So spoke Cardinal Logue
in his Introductory words.
Lay cooperation being the first mat
ter dealt with, His Eminence called
attention to the able statement sent
forth by the American Bishops after
their meeting in Washington and he
advised that it be printed as one of the
Irish Catholic Truth Society's publica-
tions.
From the pronouncement of the
American Bishops and from other in
dications," said His Eminence, sit is
clear that great work is being done,
especially by lay Catholics, for the well
fare of the Church. Lay Catholics are
very active in America. For their
numbers they are also very active in
England. And it is just as well. For
it is evident-and l do not say it in
any critical spirit-that, outside the
-. gistsftir, amy Christianity ti'ar
remains in the world is growing less
and less as the days go on"

A PRIEST GARDENER
CONNECTICUT PRIES WINS
FIRST PRIZE FOR FARM
PRODUCTS.

(By n. c. w. C. News ServiceD
First prize for producing corn and
potatoes" and honorable mention
for growing cabbage were the awards
made by the Town Committee on Farm
Products to Reverend James V. Hus-
sion, pastor of st. Johns Church, Say
brook, Conn. He was close second
also for the distinction of producing
the best squash When the total
points for farm products were made
known it was found that Father Hus-
sion led the list.
Points were allowed in accordance
with size, weight and quality of the
products. Father Illusions yellow
bantam corn won first prize in late
July, as did his September variety
One ear was % inches long. This was
facetiously called Finn Macool,' after
the fabulous Irish giant.
Amonk the potatoes harvested from
Father Hussion's garden were some OF
a size and weight never before seen in
that section of Connecticut. A speci
men bushel consisted of his potatoes

This was Father Illusions first
years experience as farmer. He had
many rivals in the neighberhood, but

cese, will be canvassed beginning Sun
day, November %.
During the past week His Grace
Most Reverend Archbishop Bowling
visited a number of towns in the
cause of the campaign. He made
addresses in Ghent, Marshall, Wabas-
so, Wanda, Lamberton, Springfield,
Sleepy Eye, New Ulm, Belle Plaine
and ST. Thomas.
Last Thursday Archbishop Dowling
spoke before the people of Guardian
Angels and st. Boniface parishes,
Hastings. Last night, Friday, he
spoke in Shakopee. This Saturday
evening he will deliver an address in
Northfield. and tomorrow morning,
Sunday, he will speak to the people
of the parishes of the Immaculate
Conception, st. Lawrence, and Sacred
Heart, in Faribault.
From various reports sent in by
priests and solicitors it is apparent
that the fight in Michigan recently
waged on the parochial school system
of that state has made profound i'm
preston on our people. They realize
as never before that the time has
passed when Catholic schools can
exist and thrive merely as separate
distinct units. In order to promote
solidaritT of interests and efficiency
of the highest order it is absolutely
imperative that all the Catholic
schools of the Diocese be welded to-
gether in one compact organization.
In this way only can each school
hope to attain the highest degree of
usefulness, when it forms part of a
comprehensive plan and receives all
the benefits that flow from a thorough
ly organized and Competently super
rised system of education.

(By \. C. w. c. News Service.)
Bishop O'Dea of Seattle, Washing
ton, has purchased the Terry Hotel

back an equal distance on Main Street.
The building is of concrete and brick,
five stories high and contains rs

In Portland, Ore, a similar venture
has been set on foot on a large scale,
by Archbishop Christie. These two

WAR MEMORIALS
FRANCE TO PERMIT ERECTION OF
CATHOLIC MONUMENTS.
(By y. C. w. c.. News Service.)

(By \. C. w. c.. News Service.)
Crosses, "Calvaries" and other re-
ligious monuments to the dead may be
reared in public places in France, and
state funds, may be properly expend-
ed in their erection, NJ. Steeg, Minister
of the Interior, has ruled, thus null
lifying one provision of the Law of Sc
paration, which forbade the placing
of additional memorials of the kind on
the squares of towns and villages.
Catholics began to fear that the Law
of Separation would prevent this form
of commemorating the dead, and one
of their deputies questioned NJ. Steeg
on the subject. The Minister gave a
formal assurance that the law of 1905
did not apply to funeral monuments,
and that all monuments commemorate
ing the war would be considered fun
eral monuments. and that therefore
crosses will be permitted on them.
Public funds may be applied to the
erection of war monuments even in
side churches, NJ. Steeg declared. His
statement has fully reassured the
Catholics of France.

AT THE TOMB OF CHRIST

Christian observers of this strange
policy.
At the time of the occupation of
Jerusalem in 1917, the members of the
Custody of the Holy Land comprised
Americans and Cubans, Cyprians and
English, French, Italians and Portu-
guese-all of them of the Allied ma
tlonalities. Englands intention cannot
be, it is urged, to decide in favor of
the conquered at the cost of offending
the most sacred feelings of those who
fought, suffered and sacrificed them.
selves side by side with her.
In the year 1927 the Sultan Malek
confirmed in "firman" the possession
OF the Holy Places to the Brothers of
the Cord (Franciscans). In 1909 the
Sultan Bibars II renewed this con-
firmation in regard to the possession
OF the Cenacle on Sion, as well as of
the Holy Sepulcher and the Grotto to
Bethlehem. From the thirteenth down
to the nineteenth century the Francis
cans were the sole representatives of

silicas of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusa.
lem, of the Nativity in Bethlehem and
of the Annnnciation in Nazareth.
The Franciscans erected schools,
colleges, orphanages, free dispensaries
and other similar institutions. Until
lS47 they alone upheld public worship;
alone guarded and reverently main
tained the Holy Places; alone dis
pensed the truth of salvation to the
faithful
The question Of the Holy Sepulcher
is distinctly Christian question; it
is not a question of mosque or
minaret. 1t is easy to imagine what
would be said if, for example, the keys
of the Mosque of Omar were to be de-
livered into the hands of Christians.
And yet the conquerors of Jerusalem
could have done this conveniently and
without the violation of any Turkish
right or even the disregard of iusti-
fed sensitiveness
Built by Christian Emperor.
The Baslica of the Holy Sepulcher
is of a specifically Christian, of a spe-
cifically Catholic-Roman Catholic
character. It's builder, the Emperor
Constantine "a. D. $3.50, was truly de-
voted to the Holy See in Rome. Truly
devoted to. the Holy See also was Mo-
distus, the restorer of the Basilica,
in 614 after it's destruction Equally
| devoted to the Holy See were all the
Bishops who presided in the Holy City
until their expulsion by the Saracens
in 1887. Faithful devotees to the Holy
See were the Crusaders and their sue
cessors, the Franciscans.
Jerusalem holds the ashes of many
of the Christian knights who went
from Europe to free the Sacred
Shrines of Christendom from the Mo-
| hammedans. 1t is the resting place of
| King Godfrey of Bouillon ond of King
| Baldwin l., whose graves are at the

Aubigny, tutor of Henry III of Eng

through the southern tier of States, re,
ports to Supreme Secretary William
J. Mckinley, that while radical ideas
do not flourish in the South, there is
good deal of economic and religious
miscOnception. Collins declares that
the West is by no means the breeding
ground for radicalism that many think
it is through the published activities
of radical organizations, although hun
dreds of the rising generation need
information to correct tendencies
toward socialism.
