see that the separation of their church
from Rome was brought about by
monarchs for political reasons alone.
The common people, swayed by preju-
dice implanted for centuries, will re-
quire some time to realize the truth,
but they are certain to come to 1t
eventually. They are poorly instruct
ed but have deep religious fervor,
| brought about largely by the long per-
secution they underwent at the hands
of the Turks.

to the Denver Catholic Register, the

Fallon announces that in the month
CT September the Christian Brothers
are to open a school for boys in the
senior classes. They are to take

and the senior boys from the various
separate schools of the city will fin
iSh their course there. The Bishop
asks for the cooperation Of both
pastors and people with the School

Pershing Visits Catholic Club
General Pershing made a visit to the
Catholic Womans Club, Kansas City,
Mo-, recently while a bridge party
vas in progress. He was received en-
Enthusiastically by the more than two
hundred women present and made a
brief speech in which he told of the
service women gave in the war and
their importance to the country. He
said that, due to the women who
served overseas and brought to the
men a touch of home, the American
army was the best morally that had
ever fought in any war. "A woman,
he said, lis behind every good thing
that any man ever accomplished in
his lifetime AS the women are, so
are the men. And | want to tell you
the men from Missouri are second to
none"
Rising from the Disaster.-St. Jo-
seph's parish in Halifax is rising again
from the terrible disaster which left
a large portion of the city in ruins.
This parish was almost completely de-
stroyed, and many Of the families per-
ished. The rebuilding will, therefore,
be slow, but it is consoling to know
that the foundations of the church
are laid. 1t is expected that building
operations will be resumed in April
and that a basement suitable for pres
ent purposes will be completed by Oc-
tober next. A new hall for the Tenn
Ierance Society and a convent for
the parish are both progressing fav-
orably, with the hope that this sum-
mer will see these buildings ready for
use.

ganization of Farmers Union in Que
bee is now complete. A meeting held

tant announcement: This Union,
following the example of the Catholic
working men, who recently organized,
proposes above all, to protect and de-
velop their particular interests with
out trespassing on the rights of any
one or of any particular class, and
that they would take for their guild
ance the principles and precepts of
the Church, particularly those an
rounced by Leo XIII, in the Encycli-
cal 'Rerum Novarum,' the interpre-
tiers of which would be for them the
Canadian Episcopate.' They asked
from the Archbishop of Montreal the
services of a chaplain, who would aid
in giving necessary direction. Mr.. l..
IA. Garon advised them to not enter
the political arena without due DELHI
