HONOR THE FLAG.

When human beings gather IN
solemn conclave and launch a
grand and noble principle on the
sea of life, usually they adopt
some outward symbol Of the idea
that binds them together. 1t may
be a badge or uniform or some
distinctive article of clothing or a
meaningful decoration. In the
case of a nation, declaring to the
world the establishment of a
united people under their own
government, the symbol that sets
forth this unity is the flag. $50
When the old Roman hewed his
way with broadsword and axe
through, the ranks of his foes he
was cheered onward by the sight
Of the Roman eagle ptrched
proudly on. the standard of his
country, Where the eagle led,

SD in all ages the flag it is that
epitomizes the whole code Of prin-
ciples that lie at the base of a ma

at glance the precise nature of

or surrender: the red cross is a
token of help and is understood

When the Stars and Stripes
futter before the peoples of earth

American freedom is symbolized

one thing: freedom and liberty
for all forever. That and nothing
more. Glorious has been our ban.

LAST SUNDAY.

Last Sunday morning Pope Benedict
XIV, surrounded by high prelates of
the Church and heroic missionaries
from every quarter Of the earth, sol
emily beatified the Uganda martyrs,
negroes who were put to death a few
years ago for the faith.
The first Catholic missionaries, the
White Fathers, in 1878 arrived in
Uganda on the Nile. After many hard
ships the missionaries obtained per
mission from King Mtesa to enter the
territory, and they baptized their first
converts in 1880. Two years later the
Arabs induced Mtesa to eXpel the mis-
sionaries, but they returned under his
successor, Mwanga, in 1885. Religion
spread rapidly but the Protestants and
the Arabs melted the King to begin q
persecution The first martyr was 10

1t is about time to sum up the
Irish question, says Valerian. 1t
can be done briefly. Ireland is
waging war upon England. The
war is on and is being conducted
in the only way possible for a
mouse to attack a lion. 1t is a
man s work and the eyes of the
whole world are upon the contest
ants. The Irish leaders are man
aging it their. own way and the
world is staring and astonished
at the resourcefulness of the lead
ers of the Republic. England has
a hard job on her hands and will
see an end of it only when she
packs up her military; forces and
leaves Ireland to the Irish. -

CHICAGO'S JUBILEE.

This week Chicago is witnessing
great historical event. The
archdiocese is celebrating it's dia-
mond jubilee. With all the Access
series of a large and powerful see
Chicago is giving to the world a
proof of it's wonderful progress in
the field of Catholicity. When the
pious Bishop Quarter looked over
his new diocese in the late '40's
he found a few scattered Catho-
lies, and here and there hut dig
nifed with the name Of church.
Today the archdiocese numbers an
Archbishop, an Auxiliary Bishop,
936 priests, 100000 faithful, 333
churches, 427 parochial schools, 81
colleges and academies, and insti-
tutions Of every description for
the sick and the unfortunate.
This tremendous change in con-
siderably less than a century is
one of the outstanding features Of
modern Catholic growth. 1t
points Enthusiastically to a solid
unity and a thorough system in
promoting the work of God in a
constantly growing community.
The intimate touch maintained be-
tween priests and people, the
spread of Catholic education, and
the continual fostering of sodali-
ties and Catholic societies of all
kinds, have been the main factors
in this marvellous increase.
| Moreover, Chicago within the
past half century has given a con,
crete example Of what can be &C.
complished for good among the
foreign elements. Thither have
focked men Of every nationality
Large and imposing groups Of
Italians, Poles, Lithuanians, Slavs
French, Belgians, Dutch, Germans
and other peoples, not to mention
the major proportion of English
speaking Catholics, all have thei1
churches, schools and various
other Institutions Nor have tn
Negroes been neglected. This he
terogeneous mass of humanity i
kept within the fold Of Catholic
ity, with one faith, one baptism
, and one Supreme Pontiff, througl
the exertions Of a devoted clerg.

climax on profteering by citing
an 1900 per cent difference be-
tween the price paid the farmer
for cotton and the price paid the

the unthinking masses into an at

LET US HAVE CHURCH MUSIC.

There has just been held in New
York city a. congress OF Church
Music which has drawn together
the leading masters of eccleslastl-
cal chant from all parts Of the
world. The object of this conven-
ton was to stimulate the study
and the practice of that kind of
music which. the Catholic Church
has ever fostered in her liturgy.
For, be it known, the Church has
music all her own. It is based
upon the nature of her services
and her religious devotiOns.
From the earliest ages of Chris
tianity the Catholic Church has
aimed at the perfection of chant
as used in her various functions.
The Christians of the first cen
turtles sang psalms and hymns that
were repletey with piety and devo-
ton in word as we'll as in melody.
In the fourth century St. Ambrose
in Milan introduced a method Of
chant that was at once ennobllng
and devotional. st. Gregory the
Great two hundred years later
perfected the musical liturgy, and
he organized the famous Schola
Cantorum through whose later Ell
forts Church music was raised to
high degree in France under
Charlemagne.
From time to time in the his
tory of the Church it has become
necessary to reform the music
adopted in our churches, for the
spirit of the world has not been
slow in entering the sacred do
main of the sanctuary. But few
years ago Pope Plus X issued a
decree for the reformation OF
Church music, and sorely was it
needed. For in many parts Of the
Catholic world theatrical music,
with it's alluring and sensual melo-
dies, had taken full possession OF
not a few of our churches. Or
ganists and directors considered,
in many cases, that the presence
of large and attractive congre-
cation was too great temptation
for them to forego the presenta~
ton of worldly music with its
frivolous and light appeal. In
stead of acting as handmaiden
to the liturgy Of the Church, this
music not infrequently becomes
the whole object Of ones attend
ance at divine worship.
When the ecclesiastical chant is
properly rendered it far surpasses
in devotion and religious feeling
anything that the theater or the
concert hall has to offer in this re
; gard. 1t can be so rendered if the
same time and attention are de
voted to it. as to the vaudeville 81
often presented, in the name Of re

churches. The golden calf ma,

The advice of Sir Auckland
Geddes, the new British Ambassa-
dor to the United States, is splen-
did, says a writer, and we trust
that the Ambassador will do his
part to see that it is carried out in
it's fullness. The Ambassador said
to a New York audience: ct will
also be helpful if the many IN all
parts Of the world who are not
British subjects, but who are in
terested in Ireland, would like
wise stand aside and leave the
Irish in Ireland to grapple with
their own political difficulties. y
Now, if Sir Auckland will get his
countrvmen to "stand aside and
leave the Irish in Ireland to Crap
pie with their own political diff
culties,' there is an end to the
Irish question. The only difficulty
in the Irish question is that Eng
land has persistently refused and
continues to persistently refuse tc
allow the Irish to grapple with
their own political difficulties.

A PERIOD OF UNREST.

t. The history of the world dis
closes the fact that from time to
time spirit of. unrest, of discon-
tent and dissatisfaction takes pos
session of the race as a whole. The
natural law, as well as the divine
law, comes tofibe ignored by a
large part Of the human family,
with the consequent result that
mankind experiences the reaction,
and the human spirit rebels and
thus brings down upon itself the
penalties Of violated law.
Nothing seems to upset the peo-
pies Of earth like universal war.
The ordinary channels Of peace
are filled with the wreckage of
overturned ideals; the sweet wa
ters are poisoned with bitterness,
and social indigestion soon fol-
lows. When God is forgotten or
ignored there is small chance for
the observance of the natural law,
and it is,a fact proven by univer1
sal experience that the broad vio-
lation Of the natural law brings
down train Of evils in the whole
community. 500, .~*~ ,. ..
For more than hundred years
now God has been Knocked in His
own world and by His own people
The divinity Of Christ has been
bitterly attacked and assailed
with more venom than the world
has seen since the early heresies.
Small wonder is it, therefore, that
man should feel the weight Of di-
| vine wrath. Philosophers and
statesmen may point to CONNER
cial reasons or the greed of ma
lions as the cause of a great and
devastating war; the Christian
knows full we'll that these are but
the occasion, not the cause, Of
such catastrophes.
