NEWS FROM DUBLIN
JOY OVER CANONIZATION OF
JOAN OF ARC-FIGHT FOR
CATHOLIC SCHOOLS.

The Lord Mayor of Dublin and three
members of the Dublin Corporation
have been deputed to attend the cele-
brations in Rome to be held in con-
nection with the Qualification of the
Ven. Oliver Plunket. These will in
clude religious exercises in Saint
Agatha Church, where the heart Of
Daniel O'Connell is enshrined. Cardi-
nal O'Connell of Boston will of1iciate
at solemn Benediction during the eX-
erCiSes.
The Dublin Corporation has passed
a resolution hailing with joy the ap-
preaching canonization of Joan of Arc,
a victim of England's tyranny; and it
has been suggested that in honor of
the event, May 16 be celebrated as a
national holiday in Ireland.
The attempt of the British Govern
ment to foist its new education bill on
Ireland is being vigorously protested
by the Irish bishops, on the grounds
that it is denationalizing and would
place the control of the Irish schools
in the hands Of two Presbyterians and
an unnamed Government nominee. 1t
is pointed out that Ireland is under
the disadvantage of being a Catholic
country held under the subsection of a
Protestant state. and that the new bill
would deprive bishops and clergy of
supervision of the schools for religious
training.

SCHOOLS IN LORRAINE
LORRAINE WILL URGE RIGHT TO
CONTINUE PAROCHlAL SCHOOLS
-DEClSiVE VOTE IN RECENT
REFERENDUM.

The recent referendum in Lorraine,
where more than 100000 heads OF
families voted in favor of the main
tenance of UNCONVENTIONAL schools,
may prove a decisive factor in the
struggle between those who hold to
the Catholic concept Of education
and those who would secularize the
schools.
With the representatives of the
Lorraine people in the French Cham
Der empowered to defend the rights OF
their constituents, they may be relied
upon to put up a strong resistance to
the parties which have made anti
clericalism their watchword and who
have not laid down their arms, even
despite the severe bow they received
in the elections last November.
AS usual, it is around the schools
that this fight is the most bitter.
Many of the pedagogical reviews
which are widely read by state school
teachers are advocating more thor
ough secular training for pupils of
normal schools.

AMERICAN DISGRACE
U. S. DIVORCES LEAD THE WORLD
-SURPASS JAPAN.

The United States has jumped
ahead of Japan and now leads the
world in frequency of divorce.
That information was presented last
week to the Senate Judiciary Com
mittee by Francis Minor Moody, OF
California, executive secretary of the
International Divorce Reform Assocla-
ton Moody urged favorable action on
the constitutional amendment pro-
posed by Senator Jones, Of Washing
ton, empowering congress to make
uniform divorce laws for all states.
Moody said divorces in Japan had
decreased to 1O9 annually for every
100000 persons, while in the United
States they have increased to more
than 112 among the same number.
Nevada has approximately 800 dl-
vorces a year to 100000 population,

CATHOLICS WIN AGAIN
CATHOLIC STUDENTS ARE VIC
TORS IN ESSAY CONTEST.

To stimulate interest in the subject
of the City Bonds, that were voted on
unfavorably April 27, the City Com
mission of Dayton, Ohio, held an es-
say contest, one for the high schools
and one for the grade schools. The
subject of the essay was "Why You
Should Vote for the Bond Issue; and
the composition was limited to five
hundred words. Three prizes were
awarded for high school students, and
several for the grade schools.
According to the decision of the
judges, the winner of the first prize in
both the high school and grade sec
tions was a student of the Catholic
schools. The first prize Of S25 in the
high school section was won by Ernest
Kirschten of Fourth High B, St Mary
College; and the highest prize of SIS
in the grade school department was
awarded to Felicia Somers, pupil of
Holy Angels Parochial School, con-

new school legislation of Saxony, by
which complete secularization of

The battle being waged over the

conditions found in one section of this
state where, for several generations,
the descendants of a few families had

These studies reveal an appalling
amount of mental deficiency in par

families were found to be related. and

Canonization Ceremony
The ceremony of canonization is
more or less like that Of beatitica
ton, with greater splendor and the
addition of some solemn features in
the ritual. In former times, when the
Pope was sovereign in the Papal
States, solemn procession, in which
he participated. inaugurated the GER
emOny, the picture of the Saint bcnT
borne on a banner to the BaSilica
Of late years, if this procession was
formed, it could only be within the
precincts of the Church.
After the Pope has taken his seat
on the throne, the POStulatOr of the
Cause advances to the steps of the
throne and makes his petition that
the name of the Blessed Servant of
God may be enrolled in the catalogue
of the Saints. The Pope, or one Of
the PrClateS in his name, replies that
light and counsel from heaven must
be asked in so serious a matter.
The Litanies of the Saints are then
chanted and the request is more ear
neStly renewed by the Postulator.
Again the Holy Father replies that
prayer must be offered to the Holy
Ghost for guidance, and the hymn
"Veni, Creator Spiritus" is sung.
"Beatus" and "Te Deum."
For the third time the Postulator
makes his earnest request. and the
Pope pronOunceS the formal sentence
which gives rank to the "Beatus>'
among the canonized Saints, and pro
claims the day on which his feast is
to be kept throughout the Church.
The "Te Deum" is then chanted as
at a ceremony of Identification, and
during the High Mass symbOlical Of
ferings are made by the Cardinals
and others connected with the Cause
of nization-offerng of wax
candles, bread, wine and water, tur.
tie doves and little birds in gilt cages
The veneration of the relics of the
Saint follows later in the day.
The public honors which may be
paid after canonizaton fall under the
following heads. The names of the
canonized may be inserted in cata
logues of the Saints and Martyrolo
gies. They may be publicly invoked
in prayers, Churches and affairs may
be dedicated to them. Mass may be
offered in their honor, that is to say
the Mass offered to God alone, may
be celebrated in thanksgiving for the
graceS given to His Saints. Their
feasts may be celebrated Throughout

statement at variance with the mind

believing it to be false, and such a
person is guilty of telling a lie. There
are different kinds of lies. A jocose
lie evidently deCeives nobody, and it
is used chiefly for amusement. In or
der to have any malice such a lie
should naturally be capable of itself
of deCeiNing. An ottiCiOuS lie is one
told for the purpose Of excuse, and
does no harm to any one. 1t usually
is called a white lie; although it often
leads to others of a much darker hue.
An injurious lie IS one that does pos

Is it sin to neglect to receive the

Catholics are required to receive it,
since it is one Of the sacraments in

Will the Church give dispensation
for first cousins to marry?

ioi III 81 SOGSiHS "
Yes, if there are serious reasons
Warranting the dispensation. The
Bishop has the obligation of Judging
of those reasons. The Church forbids
first cousins to marry, and therefore,
first cousins should not begin to keep
company. In exceptional cases, to
serious problem, the Church will con-
slider the granting a dispensation. In
some states the civil law forbids the
marriage of first cousins.

Should person go to confession to
a priest to whom he is intimately
known?
A person may go to confession to
whatever priest he desires and may
change confessors to suit his own fan
cy. There is no reason in the wide
world why you should not go to con-
fession to Il priest with whom you
are acquainted; you do not so as an
acquaintance. but as. a sinner. More
over, the fact that the priest under
stands the state Of your soul and con-
science should be an advantage to you.
However, the freedom of choice in the
matter of confessors is absolute. Or
dinarily Catholics never give the mat
ter thought.
When the priest meets the penitent
outside the confessional does he ever
think of the sins confessed in confess
sion?
Of course not; and if he did it
would do him no good and the peni
tent no harm. The penitent has all
the advantage in the matter. He may
speak Of his sins under any circum
stance and at all times; the priest
may never divulge nor act upon the
knowledge he has received in confess
sion. Moreover, he would seldom have
much clear remembrance of the mat
ter. He hears scores of confessions,
one after another; he passes rapidly
from one to another; the succeeding
confession would distract him from re-
Numbering the preceding. The priest
does not hear the confessions of &C
quaintances, but of penitents.
