APOSTOLIC SCHOOLS
r ETH ANNIVERSARY OF
FOUNDATION TO BE CELE-
DRAFTED SHORTLY AFTER EAs-
TER.

The fiftieth anniversary of the mi
tiation of the apostolic school move.
ment, which has furnished the world
including the United States, with thou
sands of priests and seminarians for
the missions, will be celebrated soon
after Easter, according to news from
France. Though the period covered
from 1865 to 1915, the war delayed the
celebration.
Rev. Alberto de FOresta, S. J.,
founder and father of the apostolic
schools, saw that, while those called
to missionary labors are largely poor,
their education is long and costly. So
he planned to educate poor Catholic
aspirants, charging a reduced rate if
they could afford it. and otherwise
giving it free, in little ''novitiates of
the apostolate." They were to choose
the mission to which they felt called,
writes Rev. Joseph II. Ledit, S. j.,
who reviews the movement in Ameri-
ca.
The Jesuit College of ST. Joseph at
Avignon, France, furnished quarters
for the opening of the apostolate.
which won support from far and wide
In 1890 the school was driven from
it's home with other French religious
houses. 1t wandered, partly in exile,
and after a while, went to Salussola,
Piedmont, Italy, and, in 1909, to Lanzo
near Turin. Here it fiourished.
Though the war called many
Fathers and Brothers and made life
difficult, the school was kept up, and
in 1918 returned to France, and now
is prospecting at Thonon, near the
Lake of Geneva.
Similar schools have been estab>
lished in France, Belgium, Italy,
Spain, Portugal, Ecuador and Ireland,
whose Irish Apostolic School, Mum
greet, County Limerick, is we'll known
to American Catholics. Other relig-
ious orders formed similar schools.

STRUCTION OF CHURCHES
MANY PEOPLE DROWNED.

the earthquake which visited Mex
leo recently resulted in great destruc-
ton of life and property.
From reports so far received. il is
impossible at this time to accurately
state the loss of life, but it is esti-
mated at more than 1000. Jalapa
City, former capital of the State of
Vera Cruz, suffered especially severe
losses. Not a single house was left
standing on the city's outskirts; a
number of Catholic churches COL
lapsed, and many corpses have been
found in the ruins.
The villages of Teocelo and Couzt-
Ian, in the state of Vera Cruz, were
virtually destroyed. Only two houses
are left standing in Couztlan and 1000
casualties, including more than 1000
dead, are reported from there.
The tower of the Church of San
Juan, at Coscomatepec, crashed in
among crowds who, after the first
shock, had assembled there to pray.
Twelve soldiers are among those bur
led under the ruins.
Several small towns in the States
of Chiapas and Oaxaca are reported to
be completely destroyed.
The entire garrison of Teocelo was
killed or injured. The dead numbered
thirty and the injured sixty.
Virtually all the roads in the sur
rounding districts were flooded or de.
stroyed, according to the reports.
Three hundred dead are reported at
Barranca Grande, near Couztlan. The
water level at Port Barranca del Aqua
rose eighty-five feet. .#..

BY decision of the learned digni-

| 1903 marks the period of history dur
| ing which the Church put into prac
tice what is now being attempted.
Preservation of Freedom.
4 supreme Judge of the type rep,
| resented by the Popes of those ages,
| who set bounds to the ambitions and
caprices even of kings and emperors,
would likewise be the safest guar
dian of the liberty of nations. Free
dom. liberty-frequently the watch
words of those who seek to over
throw public order-are precious,
priceless gifts. and must be safe
guarded at all costs. But liberty is
not license, or freedom from all re-
straint Order is child of liberty,
and its helpmate is wise restraint.
Such restraint must never be tyranny,
whether it be the tyranny of the au-
tocrat ruling by force, or that of the
JacObin mob.
History teaches us that occidental
!, Europe enjoyed an unparalleled meas
ure of liberty, while in the East
Roman Empire and later in Russia ar
1itrary absolutism reigned. The chief
reason for this difference in develop
ment lies in the fact that the West
had the Pope, and the East did not.
The logic of this contention rests on
the fact proven by history that when
emperors. kings and presidents have
a superior and recognize him as such,
they cannot possibly become such ty-
rants as We're the Cesaro-Papists,
rulers in whom both spiritual and
temporal power are united.
Tribunal Would Have to Do What
Popes Did.
The Church has, in the past, shown
herself strong and prudent mother
of all the peoples who have shared
in her maternal blessings; state and
nations have been her children as
we'll as individuals. And she would,
if she were permitted. exercise the
same wholesome influence again over
the powerful ones of the earth in be-
half of all the people. The elder
Archbishop Spa'ding once very prop
erly reminded an opponent of the Pa
pacy (Miscellanies, vol. /, p. 56): He
should have borne in mind that, but
for the efforts of the Popes and for
the power they acquired in temporal
matters by the free consent of the
European nations, Europe would, in
all probability, never have risen from
barbarism nor progressed in civiliZa-
ton. That power was almost always
put in requisition to check tyranny
and to succor the oppressed. The
voice of Rome liberated the captive,
struck off the chains of the serf,
cheered the oppressed, and struck
terror into the hearts of tyrants.
Protestants have admitted all this"
Whatever international power, au-
thority or tribunal may be established
to protect the interests of all the
peoples of the world, it's functions
would have to be the counterpart of
those exercised by the Papacy in the
past Will the new power be able to
act as impartially, as wisely and as
efficiently as Rome did?

RUSSIAN BOLSHEVlSTS MAKE

SUNDAY-DROWN ARCHBISHOP
PRIESTS AND BISHOPS ARE
TORTURED AND SHOT.

The Rev. r. Coutier-Forster, late
| British chaplain of Odessa and the
Russian ports of the Black Sea, writes
as follows in the London Times:
Horrors of BoIshevism.
That any protesting Christian OF
any denomination in the whole globe
should feel or express sympathy with
the Bolsheviki of Russia, can only be
due either to lack of accurate informa
| ton or deliberate deception by the
clever propaganda in England.
1t is repeatedly said "Bolshevism is
solely concerned with economies. l,
has nothing to do with religion This
is absolutely untrue. The horrors OF
heather Rome and the episodes of the
Coliseum have been brilliantly imitat
ed and eXcelled by the Reds in Rus

He then proceeds to give some in
stances that he can personally vouch
for.

broke up the service in Odessa Cathe

Sunday Abolished.
The Bolshevists have attempted to
bring about the abolition of Sunday as
the weekly day of rest on account OF
it's age-long association with the
Resurrection of Christ. The virulence
of the Red hatred of everything
Christian seeks to substitute Monday
for the old hallowed day. In the
spring of 1918 the attempt was tenn
porarily crowned with success. The
last Sunday in April was peremptor
lily ordered to be erased from the cal
endar as rest day.
Works, factories, and shops were
commanded to carry on their business
as ON other days of the week. The
streets of Odessa were thronged with
crowds of truculent, jubilating Reds
making a great parade of work. The
following Tuesday, May /, was sub
