THE LOUvA|N LIBRARY
AMERICAN GIFT OF $4,000
AMERICAN RELIEF COMMITTEE
S ALLoTS 100000 FRANCS FOR
BOOKS AND BUILDING.

The New York Committee for the
Louvain Library some time ago re-
.ceived from an anonymous donor $780,
000 1t was an suspicious beginning,
which was unfortunately not duplicat-
ed, either in the lump or in parts.
King and Cardinal having returned to
Belgium, interest in the movement
slackened. Still, some small gifts
dribbled into the fund. When they
.totaled up $4,000, the prime movers
of the collection notified the rector
that the amount which they held to
his disposal s150,000- was not likely
to increase and that they wished to
close the subscription.
Thanks to generous donations Of
scientific books from all over the
world, practically speaking, but most
ly from England, a collection Of 2OO,-
900 volumes is already on hand, sort
ed and catalogued. Moreover, last
week there arrived from Germany the
first carload of 10000 volumes selecI-
ed in German libraries by the Com
mission of Recuperation. Other car
loads are to follow as the work of re-
cuperation proceeds.
A national subscription for the uni
yersity is being taken up in Belgium at
the present writing. That subscrip-
ltion was originally intended as a
means to raise capital for an in
crease Of the professors salaries,
which in many instances are incred,

many an unskilled laborer. Y

PIRATES OF PtNzANcE

Right Rev. e. Heelan, d. D., Bishop
of Sioux City, Iowa, who Travelled with

The officer tried to persuade DR..
Mannix to do down the ladder, and the
Archbishop again said, No, / refuse

hand on the Archbishop's shoulder
which was equivalent to arrest and
Dr.. Mannix went down into the de-

WAVE OF IMMIGRATION
RELIGIOUS PROBLEM Is SEEN IN
RUSH OF IMMlGRANTs-IMMI-
GRAFTON OFFICE AT ELLIS
ISLAND sWAMPED BY INCOMING
TIDE.
(By N. C. w. C. News Service.)

(By N. C. w. c. News Service.)
The influx of immigration from
Europe, which was expected in the
wake of the world war, to the United
States, has now set in at full tide, the
number of immigrants being limited
only by the space to be obtained on the
ships sailing from European ports. So
great has been the rush westward that
the immigrant receiving station at
Ellis Island, New York-through which
port eighty-five per cent of the immi-
grafton comes-has been swamped.
This condition will probably grow
worse instead of better There are
three times as many immigrants
coming in now as there were three
or four months ago.
So great is the flood that the Com
missioner of immigration, Mr.. Can't
netti, has expressed the opinion that
the problem it presents is one which
Similarly it is one which will in
evitably force itself upon the consid-
Grafton of the Catholic Church in
America, as large proportion of the
Europeans turning westward to es-
cape the turmoil and confusion of
Europe belong to that faith. If the
rush continues the present facilities
for these immigrants, from religious
point of view, will be entirely made
quate.
The question is one which will un-
doubtedly be dealt with by the next
Congress if it is not taken up at the
next session of the present Congress,
which begins in December.

gelic Doctor The personal holiness
of the priest in no way affects the
validity of Sacrament administered
by him and the absolution of a priest
in the state of mortal sin would be
quite as effective as that of one in
the state of grace. ~
Under what condition does the Pope
speak with nfallible authority?
This question is clearly answered
by the decree of the Vatican Council
defining the infallibility Of the Pope.
''The Roman Pontiff, when he speaks
ex cathedra-that is, when he, in the
exercise of the Office of Pastor and
Teacher OF all Christians, by virtue of
his supreme Apostolic authority, by
the divine assistance promised him in
Saint Peter possesses that infallibil-
ity with which the Divine Redeemer
willed His Church to be endowed in
the definition Of doctrine regarding
faith and morals"
Does it not seem strange that a
man could live a long life of sin, be
converted on his death-hed and then
go to Heaven?
The Holy Spirit tells us that the
mercy of God is above all His works
One of the last acts of the dying
Christ was to pardon one who had
lived life of crime. Remember the
parable OF the vineyard-the master
gave to each one a penny though
some had worked longer hours than
others. God wills not the death of
a sinner He died that. all might
be saved. 1t is strange-the infinite
mercy of God. 1t is strange and it is
wonderfully encouraging.
is it sin when in making your tax
return you do not give the full value
of your personal property to the AS
SCISSOR?
The full value of property should be
given to the Assessor, but it should
be based on what the articles will
bring on the open market rather than
on what they cost the possessor.
Does it not seem strange that MUIR
derer can be forgiven, and yet d.
voiced person cannot receive absoIu.
ton?
There is absolutely no parallel in
the two cases. One guilty of murder
may be pardoned if he has genuine
sorrow for his sin. Sorrow for sin
implies firm resolve to avoid sin in
the future. One who is living with a
divorced person cannot be pardoned
unless he promises to cease to live
with the divorced person. To con-
tlnue to live in such a condition would
mean to continue in life of sin.
