NUNS TRAGIC DEATH
SISTER OF PROVIDENCE CRUSH
ED AND MANGLED BY TAXI-CAB
EDIFlES ALL BY HER PIOUS
DEATH.

Sister Mary Blanche Mccormick
who was connected with st. Joseph
Industrial School at Indianapolis, was
run down by an automobile while
crossing a street in that city on April
9, dying at ST. Vincent Hospital short
ly after.
In company with Sister M. TheO-
data, her superior, Sister M. Blanche
had started to attend to business mat
ters. and was crossing the street at
the Circle when the accident occurred
Sister Theodata. thinking that her
companion was by her side, addressed
a remark, but received no response.
CHANGING around, she saw the body of
Sister Mary Blanche lying on the
ground bleeding profusely. A rushing
auto had knocked her down, breaking
every rib in her body, crushing her
liver and other organs to a pulp and
leaving a great bleeding wound in her
head Kind hands quickly carried the
nun to the sidewalk, where Patrolman
Moriarty placed his coat under her
head for a pillow. Quickly reaching
her companion, Sister Theodata knelt
by her side and prayed aloud for the
dying nun, the policeman and awe
stricken and weeping bystanders
many of whom were nOn-CathOlics
joining in the responses. Sister Mary
Blanche, to the surprise of all about
retained consciousness and gave voice
to prayers and aspirations. An ambu
lance rushed her to St. Vincent Hos
pital, where a priest gave her Extreme
Unction, while the dying Sister, still
conscious, reCited aloud an act of con
triton and gave Sister Theodata few
little messages before passing to a
better world. The attendant physi
clans marvelled that she could have
retained consciousness long enough tC
receive the last rites of the Church
while the hundreds surrounding hel
mangled body at the scene of the &C
cident, were deeply impressed by the
Christian fortitude with which the
gentle nun faced the approach OF
death, and the firm faith inspiring the
prayers and calculations falling from
her dying lips.
Sister Mary Blanche was born il
Xenia, O., ffty-nine years ago and be
came one of the Sisters of Providence
nearly thirty-five years ago.

pies Of socialism, and for two rea-
SONS: because socialism aims at
the overthrow of religion, and be-
cause socialism would usurp the
undeniable rights of the lawful
possession of property. If her
children insist on aligning them
selves with the enemy, and thus in
giving comfort to the foe, is the
Church to be called the enemy of
Labor because she opposes the
doctrines of socialism, even
though that doctrine be accepted
by some of her so-called follow
ers? No. The Church has been
sent to bring to salvation all men,
rich and poor alike. A Catholic
journal that would stand idly by
and refuse to exert it's power for
good when the enemy Of the
Church faunts himself in the full
glare of the community, should be
suppressed as representative OF
the Church. A Catholic journal
should ever follow the lead of
truth in matters Of faith and
morals, and that lead points un-
mistakably to socialism as a dis

Bishop Hanauer, whose appoint

of Vac, Budapest, was sharply ques-
toned by the Hungarian Minister of
Worship, has taken possession of his
See and has been enthroned as Bish-
op of the diocese.
Immediately after his enforcement
the new Bishop started to take in
hand an extensive work of ecclesiasti-
cal reconstruction. The territory of
the diocese is of considerable extent
yet it is stated that this is embraced
within some twenty parishes, so large
in extent that the pastors are quite
unable to give the proper attention to
the districts under their care. TIC
remedy this state of affairs the Bish
OPP proposes to divide these giant par.
ishes into smaller parishes, and to
appoint more priests to the care of
souls.

At the recent meeting of the parish
conferences of the Society of st. Vim
cent de Paul in this city, Mr.. James p.
Plunkett of st. Luke's conference read
the following interesting paper:
Mr.. Plunkett's Paper.
The question is often asked, "Why
should Catholics maintain separate or
CARNATIONS for dispensing charity
when the field is so well covered by
trained organizations of a non-sectari-
an character? Would it not be better
to unite our forces with them and
thus avoid duplication of effort?' In
deed there are some who maintain
that all private charity should be abol-
ished and that all such work should
be handled entirely by the state.
From the standpoint of concern for
the poor anything that interests a
greater number of people in their wei
fare is desirable. In spite of the
work of the state and of the large
number of charitable organizations in
existence there is still a vast amount
of unrelieved misery. Hardly day
passes that the daily papers do not
chronicle some new case in extreme
need just brought to light. Were
Catholic charity work discontinued it
is very doubtful if all Catholics now
engaged in that work would ally them
selves with organizations made up fol-
the most part of trained workers. The
| opportunity that Catholic charity
gives for closer contact with the poor;
the feeling that what one does fol
the poor he does for God, and the mo
tive of spiritual benefit to the givel
are all lacking in organized charity
and many who are now attracted by
these motives would not be reached
! With large body of Catholics &C
| lively engaged in charity work the so
cial causes of poverty are much bet
ter controlled. No Catholic man Of
means who comes in daily contac
with the poor and witnesses theil
misery, with the teachings of thu
Church regarding the ownership ant
use of property before him, will squan
der his wealth in the foolish frivolity
and lavish display that do SO much
harm. On the contrary, he will dc
what he can to root out the sources
of distress and in so doing will be
guided by the wise counsel of The
Church instead of being led away b,
the socialistic panaceas of the day
The greater number of earnest think
erS there are that address themselvc:
to the problem of abolishing povert!
the nearer will we approach to tina
mllennial condition.
Another advantage possessed b!
Catholic charity is the use of the &c
clesiastical organization. The parish
priest is usually better acquainted
with the needs of his poor than is any
layman. The poor naturally turn tt
him in their distress and in that way
many receive aid who would other
wise be overlooked. The diocesan
organization makes it possible for the
