One of the addresses at the most re-

went with their people and kept
them strong in the faith sand the
practice of religion. The people
settled in colonies, built churches
and schools and were ever under
the Catholic influence Of their
spiritual leaders. The Italians
alone seem to have cast their lot
among us without the religious
administrations of their own
clergy. Although Of an intensely
Catholic nature, the italian has not
kept pace in a religious sense with
the immigrants of other national
tiles. Will the fate of the incom-
ing hordes of Italians be more
fortunate than that of their pred
ecessors?
1t is perhaps not too much to
hazard the statement that these
new peoples will to a great extent
seek the cities and the larger
communities. Here they will
come into contact with American
freedom at it's best and it's worst
even it's abuse, or license. 1t will
be the duty Of the churches to
seek out and care for these help
less and forlorn peoples. To
abandon them religicusly would
be downright neglect and treason
to the strict duty imposed upon
our clergy to watch over all the
members Of the local flock, ire
spectlve Of language or national
ity.
We cherish the hope that these
foreigners will fare better than
some Of their brethren who have
preceded them by a few years,
and that they will have no occa-
sion to forsake the religion Of
their fathers.

A NEW PROBLEM.

The food Of immigration from
Europe has already set in towards
America. Every ship arriving at
the Eastern ports is crowded to
capacity with thousands of per-
sons from the war-racked regions
Of Europe. These peoples have
lost everything at home, and they
come hither to better their for
tunes. With them they bring a
few dollars, the clothes they wear,
and a yearning for wealth.
At the same time these immi-
grants bring something else. In
their hearts are certain and defn-
tie loves and hatreds. Each in
his own way looks towards gov
eminent and authority with a
well-defned dread. AS a rule
their experiences with such things
at home have been far from pleas
ant and inspiring. The seeds of
Bolshevism have reached much
further than the actual pestifer-
Gus plant itself. These germs are
bound to develop unless crushed
under the strong force Of real
freedom as America knows it.
1t is perhaps not too much to
say that the larger portion of
these new peoples seeking liberty
and home among us are from
Catholic countries. To them re
ligion is a palpitatine reality. In
it's atmosphere were they born and
reared. Under its benign infu-
ence have their lives been lived
and shaped. Back Of them lie
centuries Of Catholic traditions
that have upheld them in the face
| Of modern onslaughts in the field
Of religious thought,
Are these peoples to be aban-
doned on their arrival here to the
thoroughly organized propaganda
| of religious bodies other than their
own? Formerly contingents of
immigrants were accompanied by
priests of their own country and
i tongue. These jealous priests

HARDING HELPS SISTERS
COLLECTION TAKEN ON TRAIN
is PRESENTED TO NUNS.

Last week when President-elect
Harding's train to Point Isabel, Texas,
was stalled for several hours, a gra-
cious act was performed towards two
nuns.
Among companions of the Harding
party in their long wait among the
cactus there were two Catholic Sis
tiers of Mercy, teachers of the Point
Isabel school, who were outbound pas
sengers in the second section. Mrs.
Harding had planned to visit the
school had she remained there, and
when she learned of the presence of
the Sisters in the train she suggested
that purse be taken up for their use
in equipping their classrooms. The
collection was promptly made.
More than 1925 was placed in the
hands of the astonished Nuns.

MICHIGAN AND ELSEWHERE,

The recent experience of Cath
Ollie Michigan should form an OBJ
Ject lesson for the rest of the
country. Here we have a sover-
eign State that has been known for
federation and fairness. A Cath
Ollie Bishop, the revered Baraga,
was one Of its first pioneers and
benefactors. Some Of the most
excellent Catholic institutions Of
learning are to be found there.
And yet in the elections held this
month one-third of the electorate
Of that State voted its desire to
have the Catholic and other pri-
vate schools wiped out of the COM
munity.
The fact that the vote against
the odious amendment, that would
destroy our schools, was two to
one is indeed cause for gratifica-
ton. At the same time it fur.
nishes material for serious refec-
tons that so large a percentage of
the citizens Of that State wished
the extinction Of ell religious
schools.
Throughout the country during
the past few wears there have been
ominous rumblings Of discomfort
regarding schools in which God is
known and loved. Many persons
thought that the loyalty of our
parochial school graduates during
the war, both at home and abroad,
would silence the voices Of big
otry. But bigotry, during the
war period, was alternating and
was unaware Of or blind to the
heroism of our boys. The public
easily forgets, and the forces of
malcontent are quick to take ad-
vantage Of this strange condition
The vote in Michigan really has
heartened these evil forces, and
we may look for a renewal Of the
attack in districts where the Cath.

ON GIVING THANKS.

Gratitude is both natural and
a supernatural virtue. From the
remotest antiquity men have been
accustomed to express a spirit of
thankfulness as a token Of graft
tude for favors received. Pagan
and true believer alike have raised
their voices in grateful homage
when fortune or prosperity smiled
upon them
The Christian lifts aloft his gaze
beyond an imaginary Fate or For
tune. He recognizes in all gifts
the bounty of a First Cause, of
God. Gratitude is for him more
than a mere convention, form OF
propriety; it is strict duty which
the creature owes his Creator.
The American custom Of setting
aside a special day on which the
people as a whole shall render
thanks to the Creator is worthy Of
all praise. In this practice one
rises from the slough Of paganism
and performs an act Of worship
America above all other lands
has great cause to render thanks
to the Almighty. In a material
sense this country is unsurpassed
for abundance and resources and
breadth of opportunity. The Older
nations of the earth had tried
every form of monarchical gov.
eminent and each proved as disas
trous to the common people as
did the others. Here man is
precisely what he makes himself
to be; he has it within his oWI
power to rise or to fall, and the

SISTER BENED|C1A DEAD
TEACHER AT SiNSINAWA MOUND
WAS PERSONALITY OF RARE
ATTAlNMENTS.

Sister M. Benedicta Kennedy was
called, in her eightieth year, to her
eternal reward, on November y. at
Saint Clara Convent, Sinsinawa. Wis
cOnsin. She entered the Community
of Saint Clara at Benton, Wisconsin.
July %, 1865, and celebrated her gold
en- jubilee in 1915.
Sister M. Benedicta was born and
educated in Boston, Massachusetts.
She was master not only of English
but of several foreign languages, q
good mathematician and possessor of
a general knowledge of many subjects
that stamped her as woman of rare
intellectual attainments. She brought
this mental dover to the little Com
munity at Benton in it's darkest days.
Father Samuel had been called home
and the high ideals which he had i'm
planted needed a gifted mind to keep
them intact. Sister Benedicta brought
the qualities needed to keep the torch
Of learning burning brightly. Saint
Clara owes to her, next to Father MAJ
zuchelli, it's reputation for literary ex-
cellence. Sister Benedicta was an edu-
Gator, an inspirer and not a drill
master. She opened up a field of
vision and awakened longing to eX.
plore it and to gather it's treasures.
Yet it is not for her intellectual at.
tainments, brilliant as they were, that
her memory is cherished in many
hearts: her gentleness, refinement and
deep humility drew her to all classes
of people. She knew the common de,
nominator Of human hearts and could
make herself all to all, as many a
Saint Clara visitor will testify
