CHARACTER BUILDING.

The Nuns of La Retraite, Clevedon
England, have in their possession a
precious souvenir of the war picked
up on the battlefield by a Catholic
soldier at Houplines. 1t is large
banner ofthe Sacred Heart, inscribed
"Archconfraternity of the Sacred
Heart, Houplines, 1875"
1t was found amidst the ruins OF
the Church of st. Anastasia. The sol.
der who discovered it gave it to his
mother, who has always cherished a
great devotion to the Sacred Heart
The soldier had carried the banner
with him through battle, and in the
trenches, and it is stained with blood.
The soldiers mother, in turn, gave
it to a lady staying with the Nuns of
La Retraite, and she left it to the
nuns to expose in their convent
chapel. On several important occa-
sions, the nuns have suspended it from
the exterior of the convent, for ex-
ample, on Armistice Day and Peoce
Day.
The people of Houplines have heard
with pleasure of the happy destiny of
their banner, and Able Ransel, Cure
of Houplines, has written the Rever-
end Mother, making her a present of
the banner. Nothing remains Of the
two churches of Houplines, except
ruins. The two Wears of Houplines
died while. doing their duty in the
midst of British soldiers

SMOKING IN THE PHILIPPINES.

1t is intensely amusing to the Euro
pean, new to the Philippines, to see
women and small. children going about
with huge cigars in their mouths, but
the habit is almost universal Father
Van Odijk, B. F. M, says of his early
experiences:

years ago the first Filipinos / saw on
this soil we're some old women of the

The report is to the effect that mem
bers of the Reformed church who
either are now or were members OF
Freemason lodges shall no longer be
invested with an ecclesiastical Office ID

they be allowed to hold or possess
such functions as that of teacher in

Reformed colleges. In support of the
decision, the commission states that
in the view of its component members
Professionalism and Freemasonry are
opposed and irreconcilable. The Pres,
bytery has. adopted the report and the
decision Of the commission, and it has
now called upon all persons holding
any office or benefice in the Reformed

parties Failing this, they are called
upon to resign their offices and ap
pointments without delay.

discussion. Archbishop Messmer of
Milwaukee made very strong plea
for energy and unified action in this
long neglected field of Catholic activ-
fly. The work was referred to Spe-
cial Committee made up, of the Arch
bishops of Cincinnati, Omaha, Chicago,
New York and Philadelphia, with the
Bishop of. Pittsburgh as secretary

ITEMS ON MISSION WORK AMONG
THE coLoRED PEOPLE.

Bishop Jeanmard Of Lafayette, La,
was consecrated less than two years
ago and sent to organize new dio-
cese, cut off from the Archdiocese of
New Orleans. In these two years he
has erected four new parishes for the
needs of Colored Catholics in differ
ent cities, and has five others with
schools, preparing the way for sepa-
rate parishes as soon as pastors can
be provided.
At Greenville, Miss, in September,
was opened the first Seminary for the
preparation of colored youths for the
priesthood. Already twenty-five stu
dents have applied for admission. OF
course it will take 10 or II years be-
fore the work fructifies in the form of
priests, but a hopeful start has been
made.

AS SEEN FROM OUTSIDE.

'"The growth of the Roman Catholic
Church in the United States is one of
the most striking facts of history-and
she has also gained the popular good
will, or at least a favorable PROPOSES
sion, and she has conquered respect.
At present those who look upon her
most favorably are that large and in
efluential class of men whose antece-
dents were Professionals but. whose ac-
tual connection with a Protestant
church is little more than nominal
They know enough of Professionalism to
make them alive to it's faults, and
they know just enough of Catholicism
to make them admire it's excellence.

These men care little for the theo-
logical and, ecclesiastical questions
which separate Rome and Protestant
ism. They are legislators, city off,
Gals, railroad men, editors, managers
of large business interests Whenever
their dealings bring them in contact
with a Roman Catholic institution they
find an organization which knows its
own mind, knows what it wants, has
some one who can speak for it Off
scially and finally. They can see that
it maintains discipline among it's own

to retain their affection. They are at

A WAR SOUVENIR.

BY direction Of the Secretary of
War, the Chief Of STAFF has issued the
following circular fo the Army. viz:
81. Character building and moral
training consist in the development of
right thinking, just action and a gen.
.uine sense of responsibility. These
qualities are best developed in men
by inspiring leadership which builds
a strong community sanction for high
moral standards and reduces to a
minimum the opportunities for vicious
associations and influences. Every
moral mind instinctively recognizes
the difference between right and
wrong. Hence, the problem of char
acter. building and moral training is a
problem Of creating an environment
which compels right thinking and just
action on all occasions as a matter of
course.
So. Character building and moral
training must not be restricted IN
meaning to religious exhortation or
class room instruction in moral phi
losophy. Religion frequently is the
most powerful motive for right iv-
ing, and respect for religion should
be encouraged in every way. 1t
should not, however, be forgotten that
character and morality grow firm and
strong in proportion as they express
themselves spontaneously in right ac-
tion in daily life.
"3. The best results in character
building and moral training can be
secured only when all officers from
the commanding officer down bear in
mind that when rightly guided every
exercise every duty, every recrea-
ton, every act and every. thought in
the whole life of every man make a
positive, contribution toward the
achievement OF the end in view. In
this work the commanding officer
himself must be the. chief power His
influence, by example, by ffrmness, by
interest and by encouragement, if
controlled with Judgment and ear
nestness, will insure success. Indiffer-
ence or improper leadership on his
part will have a tendency to render
ineffective the efforts of his subordi-
hates He must be a leader, not q
driver.
-. Following are suggestions for
action where applicable:
a. The encouragement of service
and company clubs.
b. The development Of community
cooperation in matters of social life
at camp and restriction of vice III
neighboring towns.
6. The support of the chaplain's ac-
tivities by furnishing suitable places
of worship and an appropriate office,
by encouraging exchange Of pulpits
between chaplains and clergynlen in
the vicinity, by giving dignifed pub
Lefty to the schedule of religious
services, etc. ISL
d. Suppress profanity and undnly
harsh treatment Of men while on mill
itary duty.
E. Develop cooperation with the
education officers so that moral issues
are, discussed in school work. Civics
and history are good fields for such
cooperation.

AVERAGES $2.85 PER BUsHEL
IN SOUTH DAKOTA.

Bookings, Nov ga summary
of the cost of producing wheat in
1919 on farms in South Dakota,
North Dakota, Kansas. Missouri.
Nebraska and Minnesota has recent
ly been prepared from figures Of the
United States department of agricul-
ture. The summary covers 48l
farms in the six states mentioned.
The following conclusions are drawn
from these figures by M. r. Bene-
diet, farm management specialist in
the extension division at State oil
lege.
For the entire 4S1 farms the cost
varied from 81 per bushel up to
more than SIS per bushel, with the
average at $2.15. Seventy-five per
cent of the farms had costs ranging
between s140 and $3.50. The cost
was considerably lower in the winter
wheat belt than in the spring wheat
belt. Two hundred eight-four farms
growing winter wheat had an aver
age cost of $1.S7 per bushel, 73 per
cent of them having costs that rang
ed between $1.40 and $3.50 per
bushel.
On 1877 farms growing spring
wheat in South Dakota the average
cost was $265 per bushel. with 62.S
per cent of the farms having costs
that ranged between $50 per BUSH
ell and IS per bushel. The costs on
80 farms in Sphinx county are fairly
representative of the spring wheat
area. The costs there varied from
$l10 to. $3.50 per bushel, with an
average cost of $40. The cost of
17.9 per cent of these farms was
above SO per bushel.
