FIRE DESTROYS ST. CLOUD
CHURCH-LOSS is $4,000.


Fire late on August 25. destroyed

amounts to $4,000. The cause of the
fire is unknown.
The flames were discovered at p.

true liberty and equality.
Two Catholic Deputies, also elected
to the Chamber last November, M.
Perrolaz, of Savoie, and M. Guibal, Of
Herault, defended before the House
the thesis of equal support by the
State, in proportion to their attend
ance, of all public and private schools
alike. Neither could be suspected of
prejudice against state schools, since
both are graduates of state colleges
and one was state college profess
sor. Finally, they insisted that any
form of State monopoly-and exclu-
sive support Of public schools is only
a yelled form of monopoly-is vio-
lation of the family rights which in
no way must be sacrificed to the
State rights.
Supported by Public Sentiment.
/ A proof that these ideas expressed
the public sentiment of the nation in
the matter, they asserted, can be
found in the growing number of towns
and cities where the principle of equal
support Of all schools is put in prac-
tice, even before it has become the
law of the land.

MISSION ON VERANDA

Rev. Oliver Welsh, the Paulist Faith
er of San Francisco, is conducting a
series of non-C Catholic missions in the
northern part of that diocese. Last
week he brought to a close very
successful mission in McCloud. Faith
er Welsh made the most of the fact
that he was obliged to stop at the
hotel, there being no rectory in the
town. Before and after his regular
lecture in the local Catholic Church
he would gather many of the employees
#of the McCloud lumber camp on the
veranda and discuss Catholic doc,
trines and answer questions proposed
to him, much to the edification of his
separated brethren, who gave him
close and respectful attention.

LABOR DAY In MIDDLE AGES

rule of the fair price set a price on
to themselves and their families. The
labor of employees, save for the modi-
fications of unionism, is treated like
a commodity; the labor of guildsmen
was human effort, fifty rewarded and
controlled by those who expended it.
Labor Day Then and Now.
Labor Day is holiday" of pro-
test 1t reflects a society in which So
cial castles dominate industrial life
and the masses of men work for the
few who own industry. 1t is a holiday
the chief function of which is to bar
gain with another set of men who own
industry. Corpus Christi was a holi-
day celebrated by men who owned
their own tools and their own working
lives and were banded together in
brotherhood within their own crafts.
1t was feast day of men who were
not in protest against social sys-
tenn, because as brothers they domi-
mated the social system of their COM
munities.
Labor Day is holiday of one sec
ton of the community. Corpus
Christi was a holy day for the whole
community. 1t was not solely Labor
Day at all, for Labor Day such as
ours would not occur to the minds of
the men of the Middle Ages. 1t was
celebrated by men, who, having al
ready reached the stature of free men,
paid their alteration to Him from
Whom their freedom had come. 1t
was celebrated by brothers in adora-
ton of the Source of their brother
hood
Though our Labor Day is not the
great Labor Day of the Middle Ages,
it still expresses, however feebly, the
efforts of men to control, as brothers,
the conditions of their working lives
and give to their labor a dignity in
harmony with its nature. 1t ex-
presses the efforts men are making to
attain the freedom and brotherhood
of the guildsmen of the European
cities ntthe ages of Faith.

(By N. C. w. G. News Service.)

(By N. G. w. G. News Service.)
The new Catholic members Of the
two houses of the French Parliament
already have given many proofs Of
their aggressiveness. They have not
always scored complete success, but
they have forced their opponents to
accept the discussion of government
practices which had never been chal-
lenged for about a quarter of a CEN
tury.
Among such pracIIces, are those of
reserving for the state schools all the
support at the command Of the gov

vate, that is parochial, schools and
Catholic colleges only to hamper their
work or restrict their liberty.

During the Middle Ages the day
closest to our Labor Day was the feast
of Corpus Christi. On Corpus Christi
the workmen of the cities marched in
procession beneath the banners of
their guilds and gave pageants in
honor of Christ in the Holy Eucharist.
The banners of the King, of which ST.
Thomas Aquinas sings, that went be-
fore Christ in the procession of Cor
pus Christi, were most of them the in
sigma of the labor unions ofs that
time.
Yet our Labor Day and their Cor
pus Christi are not the same. Our
Labor Day is a holiday; theirs was a
holy day Brothers in common
faith, the guildsmen marched together
TO pay honor to Him through whom
they had all become brothers. They
chose Corpus Christi,-the feast of
the Holy Communion, for the Holy
Communion was the sign of their
brotherhood. And, too, Christ walked
with them in their professions, yelled

NOTED ENGLISH PUBLlCIST RlDi-
cULES CERTAIN NOTIONS PREV
ALENT ToDAY-DlVoRcE A COW
ERlNG FOR FREE LOVE.

A writer of The Westminster Ga
zette recently made the proposal to
alter the marriage formula: las to
the VOW at the altar, it seems con-
ceivable that under other conditions
the form of words ordained by the
Prayer Book might be revised And
the writer adds that as some have
omitted the words Ito obey others
might amt the words till death do
us part" The following is Mr.. G. K.
Chesterton's rejoinder in The New
Witness:
What Chesterton Says:
1t never seems to occur to him that
others might omit the wedding. What
is the point of the ceremony except
that it involves the vow? What is the
point of the VOW except that it in
wolves voWing something dramatic and
final? Why walk all the way to a
church in order to say that you will
retain connection as long as you find
it convenient? Why stand in front of
an altar to announce that you will en-
Joy somebody's society as long as you
find it enjoyable? The writer talks of
the reason for omitting some of the
words, without realizing that it is an
even better reason for omitting all the
words. In fact the proof that the vow
is what | describe, and what Mr.
Hooking apparently cannot even man
age, unique thing not to be con
founded with a contract, can be found
in the very form and Technology OF
the VOW itself. 1t can be found in the
very fact that the vow becomes yer
bally ridiculous when it is thus yer
bally amended. The daring dogmatit
terms OF the promise become ludi
crous in face of the timidity and triv
iality, of the thing promised. To sa.
II swear to God, in the face of th1
congregation as ! shall answer at th
dreadful day of judgment, that Mari
and ] will be friends until we quar-
rel' is a thing of which the very die
tion implies the derision. 1t is llk
saying, "In the name of the angel
and archangels and the whole con
pany Of heaven, think | prefer Turi
ish to Egyptian cigarettes" or Cry
ing aloud on the everlasting mere.
/ confess | have grave doubts abou
whether. sardines are good for me-
obviously nobody would ever have il
vented such ceremony, or inven
ed any ceremony to celebrate such
promise. Men would merely hay
done what they liked, as millions {
healthy men have done, without an
ceremony at all.
Divorce and Free Love.
Divorce and re-marriage are simp
a heavy and hypocritical masquerad'
for free love and no marriage; and
have far more respect for the rev
lutionists who fron the first have q
scribed their free love as free. b
the dramatic and dogmatic languas
of the marriage service obviously
fers to a totally different order

that may be called heroic ideas. Ps

period to understand these ideas; and
only ask here that they should un-
derstand their own ideas. Every one
of their own arguments leads direct to
promiscuity; and leaves no kind of
use or meaning in marriage of any
kind But the idea of the vow is per-

An alliance between Great Britain

cannot benefit us commercially, and,
on the other hand, will do grievous
wrong to our principles and ideals as

Terms Approval "CriminaI."
An immediate consequence of an
alliance with England just now would
be our consent to and approval OF
England's treatment of her sister ma
tion, Ireland; and such an approval
| would be little short of criminal. The
whole world is aware of the facts anC
conditions. For 700 years Ireland has
| through agitation, petition, revolt
and otherwise, demanded of England
faadamesssaj right, namely, to bt
released from the9torture' of invasion
and to be let alone; but during al
| these years England has PERSISTENT,
claimed that the Government of Ire
land shall not be, by, with and for tn,
people of Ireland, but, by, with ant
for the people of England.
Within the last few years this Irisl
claim, based upon fundamental right
has grown with the growth of democ
racy, until now they stand united t,
