Thus far, the press has been content

of the dangerous decline of the au.

if necessary, and if all these steps fail
they will incur suspension.

BLUE AND RED
X. OF c. TO OPPOSE REVIVAL OF

FORMERS WITHOUT JUDGMENT.

The Knights of Columbus declare
that blue laws are red Now that the
attempt to force blue-laws into the
Constitution is being made the K. of
c. have decided to oppose the move
ment because, in their anti-red open
forums throughout the country they
have found that sumptuary legislation

tent.
When the blue-law campaigners an
nounced their plan of proceeding
through state legislatures and bring
ing about another amendment to COM
pei an eventless Sabbath observance
throughout the country, James A. Fla
herty, of Philadelphia, supreme knight
of the K. of c., Immediately notified
the corps of K. of C. lecturers who
appear before four million persons
during the winter months to oppose
the movement.
Under the auspices of the 1000 K.
of C. subordinate councils, lecturers
conduct united campaign against ex-
IRENE radicalism. The Knights have
placed the blue-law advocates in the
same class with the bolshevists as
fomentors of discomfort and disturb.
ers of American social life. The blue
as well as the red will be opposed in
the K-C national campaign against
extremism
They are both working towards a
similar end" Supreme Knight Fla.

K-C workers, "the radical change OF

REAL AUGMENTATION
MILLIONS OF COPIES OF USEFUL
BOOKS DISTRIBUTED - CIVIC
EDUCATION CAMPAIGN OF
CATHOLIC WELFARE COUNCIL.
(By N. G.. w. G.. News Service. }

(By N. G. w. G. News Service.)
Millions of American citizens, many
of them foreign-born. are being in
structed in their duties through the
civic education campaign now being
conducted by the National Catholic
Welfare Council.
The work has been in progress more
than year and instruction is being
carried on by means of motion pic
lures, public lectures, citizenship
classes and through the columns of
the press. The languages of different
foreign groups are being utilized to
bring home to them the meaning of
democracy as it prevails in the United
States. ..
Six pamphlets dealing with different
aspects of civic education are being
distributed by the committee in charge
of the work One of these, ''The
Fundamentals of Citizenship" has had
a circulation of more than one million
copies and the last to be published
the ,"Civics' Catechism' promises to
have even larger circulation. Already
hundreds of daily and Catholic weekly
newspapers throughout the country
are republishing it's contents in install.
ment form, and an American-Italian
edition, with the English and Italian
text appearing in parallel columns
has already achieved circulation of
close to forty thousand copies. For.
eign texts for other nationalities have
also met a large demand.
Motion-picture programs are now be.
ing carried out in the principal cities
of the country where the foreign popu
lation is large and are varied with en-
tertainment features furnished by diff
ferent national groups.
a simple course in patriotism and
civics has been introduced into a ma.
jority of the six thousand paroch
ial schools throughout America, and
more than 100000 children, many OF
whom will probably never have an op
portunity to attend high school, are
being benefited thereby.

TRIBUTE TO BROTHERS

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

tBy N. Z. w. T.. News Service) =.
A high tribute to the Christian
Brothers schools of Ireland, in which
her martyred brother was educated,
was paid by Miss Mary MacSwiney,
sister OF the late Lord Mayor of Cork
in her testimony before the American
Commission which is inquiring into
atrocities in Ireland Miss MacSwiney
declared that a certain portion of the
Whiskey grants went to the schools.

that with Ireland drunk there would
be little money for education, but
with Ireland sober there would be

MacSwiney in celebrating on the hos

the Irish people had to labor, at was

| outside the regular school program.
The text books prescribed were motor
iously anti-Irish and rather anti-re-
ligious. 1t was forbidden to have re.

some of the schools however, it was
generally known that there were

was necessary to cover these inches
That this practice caused a false
sense of shame among the pupils there
can be no doubt.
when the Christian Brothers un.
dertook the work of education in Ire
land, they determined to get along
without the grant rather than submit
to these restrictions. They believed
in system of education that was not
only religious and moral but which
breathed the national atmosphere and
aspirations Of the people. They gave
due attention to national history. Ir

Why do little girls at first COM
munion wear wreaths and wells?

ity.
Is it sin to go to dance in Ad-
vent the same as in Lent?
The Church counsels her children
to observe the spirit of Advent and
of Lent. This spirit frowns on such
amusements as public dancing since
they are incompatible with the idea
of penance A good Catholic will not
attend such affairs either in Lent or in
Advent. &c..

1t is allowed in case of necessity.
ST. Francis of Assist was not a
priest. Then why cali him father?
He is not called Father in the sense
that we apply the term to a priest,
but because he was the Father or
founder of the Franciscan Order.
What is the difference between the
Greek and the Catholic churches?
This has frequently been answered
ira these columns. Briefly, the Greeks
are schismatics; they left the Catho

and rejecting others. They do not be-

TEN COUPLES MARRIED
At THE SAME time

(By N. c. w. c. News Service)
Ten Italian couples were married at
the same time by the Rev. G. Moretto,
of st. Raphaels Society, in the chapel
of the society building in New York
The brides were for the most part re-
cent arrivals, while the grooms were
veterans of the world war who had
left this country to fight for Italy and
returned after the armistice was
signed. The marriage ceremonies all
terminated romances that started in
Italy. Most of the men were laborers.
1t is seldom that a big boat arrives
from Italy that Father Moretto does
not officiate at several weddings, but
this was his record. On a previous
occasion he married six couples at one
time.

Are the Greek Catholics Protes-
tants?
No, they are Catholics and are
called Uniats. The Greeks who reject
Catholic doctrine call themselves Or
thodox: we call them schismatics, be-
cause they refuse assent to the au-
thority of the Pope, although they
have sacred orders. Professionals have
retained scarcely anything of the old
faith, except baptism, and that is al
ways doubtful as they have added so

Is it a sin habituaIIy to omit ones
morning prayers?
1t is.
When a priest recognizes one per.

better to 90 to another priest?
Nothing is to be gained by such a
procedure, except perhaps that ones
sensitive feelings are spared. If the
laity knew how little the priest cares
whether he recognizes one in the con
fessional or not they would give the
matter less thought. Still, if you de-
sire to go to strange priest, that is
your privilege.

Curious to state, knowledge of the

witness to the virtuous character of
the natives. But natural sadness
arises in the missionaries to see every

years old, while by the wayside there
are countless smaller shrines where
incense is continually offered to idols.
