TURE AND DANGERS OF THIS
MODERN FORM OF NIHILISM.

The Archbishop of Warsaw, Cardi-
raj Kakowski, who was appointed a
Prince of the Church by the Holy
Father at the recent Consistory, has
made some interesting statements to
a representative Of the COrriere d.
Italia. After expressing the gratitude
Of Poland towards the Holy See for
its invaluable support and encourage
ment both during the troublous times
OF the World-war and in the subse-
quent period which enabled her to
rank among free nations, Cardinal Ka-
koWski dWelt upon the Bolshvik dan
ser. His Eminence, being a native of
what was hitherto known as Russian
Poland,'' is an authority on the men
tality and general conditions of the
Russian people, so that his statement
is especially valuable and interesting.

CATHOLIC COLLEGES FORGE
AHEAD,

One Of the most gratifying
phases of the after-War develop
ment in this country is the notable
growth of our Catholic colleges
and educational institutions in
general. The prosperity of the
nation has been reflected in our
educational life in the form of in
creased enroIlments, enlarged
equipment, and a great building
expansion. Scarcely a college but
has plans for added structures
and more diversified curricula.
All this healthy growth augurs
we'll for the future stability of the
activities of the Church in the
field Of intellectual achievement
in this country.
Much Of the credit for the wide
spread success Of our colleges
must be given to the laity. Pre-
lates and priests have talked in
season and out Of the necessity of
a Catholic education for Our
youth, and the parents have grad
ually awakened to the fact that
we possess mental training cen
tcrs equal to the best in the land.
The result has been high tide in
the current that leads to the Cath
Ollie schools and colleges.
The Most Reverend Archbishop
Of St. Paul has already announced
and outlined a most comprchen-
sive plan, foroeducational eXpan-
sion in this part Of the Northwest
that will place St. Paul in the very
forefront in the onward march of
progress.
Throughout the land diocesan
and other institutions have inau-
gurated a practical campaign, in

forced to face the problem Of
Catholic education on a large
scale. America has led the world
in material success: Catholic
America will now lead the way IN
the broad field Of Christian train
ing. The committee of Bishops,
headed by Archbishop bowling
as chairman, will lay down prln-
ciples and a program that Will

entire educational system OF the
Church in America. Under the
wise and experienced leadership
Of the Hierarchy we can see moth

Of Catholic teachings and mental
development in the coming gener-
ation-a consummation that Will
promote incredible honor for God
and country.

Says an editor truly: We recall
the old story of how Catholic
paper was once established in
Dublin by company largely COM
posed of priests, and at the con-
clusion of the meeting, it was re-
solved with great gusto, that to
make the venture an assured sue
cess, every priest friend of the pa
per should regularly send in his
sermon for publication. History
records that the paper was "kill-

The natives OF. country do not
usually move in groups and
cliques: aliens almost invariably
do. They feel that a diversity Of
tongue and of customs raises a
wall between them and the inhabi-
tants of their newly-found land.
The result is that foreign tradi-
tons are perpetuated in the very
heart of a strange land, ultimately
to the detriment of both sides.
Take a friendly interest in the
alien; show that you consider him
one Of the human family, a men,
Der in good standing; ignore his
differences Of language and the
awkwardness of his gait i'll new
surroundings; let him understand
that as an individual you welcome
him into the land that not so long
ago welcomed your fathers; give
this alien square deal treat him
as a desirable acquisition to your
circle OF acqualntances-surely
you can find one alien worthy of
your high regard; let every native
citizen practice this method, and
soon the stranger will depose the
mantle Of aloofness, he will appre-
ciate your friendliness, and he will
reward you by broadening your
own viewpoint and by entering
more heartily into all the prob
lens that engage the serious
thought Of every true American.

PASTORAL LETT ER

ism strike terror in human hearts.
The fundamental cause thereof is no
ether than the rejection of Christ and
His saving doctrine. Unfortunate
men, in their Wickedness, only men
ton the sacred Name Of the Saviour
in ridicuie, mOckeTy, yea, blasphemy.
Ignorance Of Christ.
The downright ignorance of Christ
is SO rampant, that the generation is
turning to animalism. The marvellous
reflections, the beneficial Incarnation
and the precious Redemption Of Christ
remain, indeed, dead letter to the
large majority. Unknown in His life
and doctrine is the blessed Redeemer
OF mankind. The ungodly powers of
earth and hell seem to conspire
against His eternal reign. The pres
ent generation, in its spiritual death,
superbly smiles at all thought of God,
the Lord Of the universe, and the
Master of Life and death, whose de-
NAL begets the dedication Of man.
The Incarnation, being the mystery
Of the Son of God made man, an
nOunced by the ministry of the angel
Gabriel to Mary ever Virgin, truly
stuns human reason, so liable to wan
der through the labyrinth of error,
should Holy Faith not enlighten the
darkness thereof Faith, however,
does not demand the abdicatiOn of
reason. Faith is truly the divine COM
pletion of reason. Man should, GER
tainly, employ his reasoning powers,
not really to be caught in the clutches
of cunning skepticism, but to grasp the
complete truth, which will make him
free. Once proven beyond all doubt
that God speaks, reason should accept
respectfully the Divine Word.
Reason itself compels man to admit
the incomprehensibility of truths,
whose existence he is perfectly GER
tain Of Nothing more rational than
TO believe the mysteries which God
has revealed without the least degra-
Gation of reason. The noble and ben
eficial work of human reason consists
in discovering the will of it's Author
and once discovered the solemn duty
and the best interest thereof is to be-
lieve and obey. Purity of heart and
earnest prayer should accompany all
researches after truth. Reason alone
creates proud individuals, who grovel
in the mire of monstrous, pernicious,
and destructive alterations.
Traditional Belief.
The geniuses of the centuries place
credence in mysteries. Christian

CARDINAL ON BOLSHEVISM

that Socialism proposes to put into
effect, in the case that it should get
the power into it's own hand. Bolshe-
Vism, on the contrary, has no positive
project. 1t has g purely negative pro-
gram-that of destroying everything,
and is nothing else than the tradition
al Russian Nihilism, which but too
many have forgotten. The object of
Bolshevism is to bring everything
down to one level by means of de-
stroying everything that there is in
existence at the present moment of So
cial and human elevation. And its
program is so radical that there is
lot a single element of culture that
can stand before it. The brutality of
ignorance is it's only ideal-if the
word may be excused-which the
masses that have been put into a
state of CONFUSION by the propagan-
dists of Bolshevism are able to con-
ceive. One of it's commonest and oft
enest repeated cries during the days
of the Bolshevik tumults was this:
'Devoi lamotni-a phrase which needs
several words for proper translation
into English, and means Down with
those who can read and write.' You
will understand what a danger to Eu-
rope and to the whole of civilization
would be an eventual diffusion of such
barbaric movement.
And it is for this reason that Po-
land, in opposing herself to Bolshe-
vism, has taken once more her post
Of sentinel in the advance-guard Of
civilization towards the East, for the
benefit of Europe. And Poland will
not go back on her traditionS.'

MAKING FRIENDS WITH AN
ALIEN.

This seems to be an age OF slo-
gans. Every party, every society,
movement and organization hoists
it's standard with a typical slogan
nailed at the crossbeam. We are
told that next Sunday every
American is to be invited to make
friends with an alien. Here is a
rallying-cry that should find an
echo in every American heart.
1t is not necessary to go back
many centuries to the era when
the ancestors of the present-day
Americans were plain aliens in
this land. The original Americans
the Indians-tried to make
friends of the white aliens; but
the white men were more intent
upon making money and accumu-
lating gold than upon cultivating
the more aesthetic art OF friend
ship. SO the white men and the
red men made war, with the prac-
teal extinction Of the wielders OF
the tomahawk by the marksmen
with the musket. Since that day
Americans-the white kind-have
not taken kindly to aliens in any
form.
Not only Christianity but phil
osophy and reason dictate the adj
visibility of turning an alien citi-
zen into a loyal, sterling. inter
ested patriot. The history Of the
nations shows nothing more clear
ly than this fact, namely, that
where the native population has
kept severely aloof from the null
titudes Of strangers within it's
gates, the result has been disas-
trous to one or the other. Where
as a friendly consideration for the
stranger has tended to weld his
heart and his mind into the solid
structure Of common citizenship

Right Reverend Bishop Corbett,
D. D., of Crookston, Mimi, to the
Clergy and Laity of the Diocese.
The Divinity of Christ.

This materialistic, flippant, ire
ligpus and God-scoffing age would
Garingly deny the Divinity Of Christ
Jesus, the Center of history, the
Sovereign Good, and the Redeemer of
mankind. God is doubted, or placed
in matter, or no concern exists about
Him. The study Of matter and the
Eody occupies modern minds, but the
paramount subject of the spirituality
and Immortality of the soul suffers
neglect. Matter appears to be the
real god of modern human beings.
Nothing is real but matter, which is
to be Worshiped. Such an odious doc
trine disgusts mankind and engenders
evidently corruption of morals, dis
sensions and revolt.
DESTROYS of absolute independence
Of divine law and rejecting divine
authority, puny creatures in their
nefariOus rebellion seek apostaSy
from the dominion of the Creator
The dread of eternity, however, be-
cause Of the punishment of sin and
the sting of conscience, haunts them
without cessation and in sorrow and
pain their spontaneous cry bursts
forth not unfrequently in bitter ac-
cents, "My Cod The hurry, hustle,
dissipation, and pleasure of the age
exclude God and spiritual things from
the thoughts of numerous other
workings. The unremitting service of
the world impedes eternal interests,
eternal issues, and eternal thoughts.
Divine faith, the life of past ages, is
lacking and religious doubt afflicts
this generation with sadness, anguish,
and despair. The inspired writer ex-
claims: with desolation is all the
land made desolate; because there is
none that considereth in the heart
Jer. u, II.
To destroy all idea of Christ and
eradicate God from the souls of the
people, atheism would substitute cold
philanthropy for Christian charity,
license for true liberty, the worship of
wealth, goddess education, divorce,
loose morality, and the alteration of
man rather than that of God. Day
after day brutal attacks are made on
religion both by individuals and that
powerful machine, the press. The
high-sounding terms of humanity, sci
ence, honor, pleasure, free thought,
and progress sway the unthinking
multitudes. Diseased human nature is
rapidly returning to the sad state of
paganism in which Christ found it at
His advent Moral, industrial, and
political corruption increase year by
year. Revolution, anarchy and nihil-

CATHOLIC CANDIDATES ELECT
ED WITHOUT OPPOSITION.

The result Of the elections for the
National Assembly held in Hungary
q week ago resulted in a victory for
the Christian Social Party and the
Peasant Party. The returns indicate
that the power of the radical element

Among the candidates elected with
out opposition are Count Apponyi,
Count Andrassy, former Foreign
Minister; Karl Huszar, the Premier,

The sentiment throughout the coun-
