The "Osservatore Romano the
Vatican organ, says that on the night
of September 20 Socialists attempted
to invade a church in a popular quar-
ter in Rome, but did not succeed in
breaking through the door. They
postponed the undertaking to later
date, when. the paper asserts, they
will attempt to occupy the Lateran
Palace. which was once the residence

cialists are threatening to invade the

In village of the Paris outskirts,
they buried, recently, Abbe GARNER,
former director of the daily paper, LIE
Peuple Francais, and founder of the
Leaguss4af tsassss Gospel.
Able GARNER, who died at the age
of 70, was, some thirty years ago, the
promoter and leader of a political
party called "The Christian Demo
Gratis" who worked to pull away the
working people from heather social
ism. He personally started, in the
revolutionary circles of the Paris sub
urbs, widespread propaganda that
called for great courage. His paper
and his committee have not endured
till this present day; but social Cath
olicism, of which he was, upon the
whole, one of the precursors, stands,
today in France, above all political
shades, more fourishing than ever.

LETTER OF THE MOST REVEREND ARCHBISHOP

The terrible condition of the women
and children of Austria and parts of
Central Europe, victims of the war,
has been told many times since the
armistice. Little by little, however,
we are realizing that the destitution,
the disease, the starvation incident to
a prolonged and exhausting struggle
OF arms have been aggravated rather
than relieved by so-called peace.
Women and children are still famish-
ing with hunger. Hospitals are still
crowded with the pitiful debris of in
fants whose twisted bodies and con
torted faces tell of the malnutrition
which famine involves. Our Holy
Father Benedict XIV, Father of Chris
tendon, indeed invites all Catholics to
do their part to abate this horror. The

AT THE NATIONAL SHRINE

honoring Mary, the Immaculate Moth
er of God.
If curious or incredulous world
asks the reason of it, the answer may
be given in the words of our Holy
Father, Pope Benedict XIV: Human
society, indeed, has reached that stage
in which it stands in the most urgent
need of Mary Immaculate, no less than
of the joint endeavor of all mankind.
1t moves now along the narrow edge
which separates security from ruin un-
less it be firmly re-established on the
basis of charity and justice"
The Nations Need Mary.
The nations need Mary Immaculate
because they need Christ, and it is
through Mary that Christ can most
surely BE brought back to them. The
entire human race was hopelessly be
yond the power of restoration when
Christ came upon earth. No human
agency could have reconstructed so
ciety. The work of the Redeemer was
a perfect one, and was accomplished
not merely for His own day, but fol
all nations and for all time. Humanity
as a whole, never again can lapse com
pletely. However deep-seated the cor
|ruption of the hearts of mankind may
become, it can be only partial. Other
wise the Church would not be univer
sal, the work of Redemption would BIZ
a failure, and Christ would have come
lin vain! Through Christ, and onl.
through Him, was man in the first in
stance restored Through Christ alon,
can all society in every age again b,
restored. There never will be a Sa
Iviors other than Christ given by Go,

A MAN.
Again the mob spirit, embittered by
race hatred, ran riot in lawless Chi
cago. A crazy mob, thousands strong,
pursued three panic-stricken negroes,
who ran into ST. Gabriers Church to
hide. The mob packed itself around
the doors, and hundreds entered seek
ing the fugitives.
Then came small man, the priest
of that church. Forcing his way
through the press, at the door he
turned and faced the mob.
What is this sacrilege," he de-
manded. .Who are the rowdies that
storm the house of God?"
Somebody in the crowd told him its
errand.
THAT makes no difference" he
said. "This place is a sanctuary.

leave Immediately, and quietly
He was small, but his spirit was
great The crowd broke and filed out.
When the police reserves arrived the
place was cleared, and the priest
turned the three negroes, shivering
but safe, over to the officers, who
took them to safety.
One man. A small man. But a
man with great spirit, and with a
heart and courage worthy of the gal
liant race from which he sprang.
Our hats are off to Father Thomas
Burke, pastor Of ST. GabriePs Church,

man in every inch of him.

GOLDEN JUBILEE OF PARISH

The church was attended by several
priests until 1875, when it was given
a resident paster, the Rev. Meinulph
Stukenkemper, o. S. B. The parish
had been organized and the church
built by Father Hillmer, the dedica-
tion taking place July "a, 1870.
Father Hillmer was succeeded by
Father HolZen, who had charge of the
parish until the Benedictine Fathers
took over st. Boniface Church along
with that of ST. Joseph.
After building residence, Father
Meinulph soon erected a modest
school, in which the Sisters of Chris
tian Charity gave the first instruction
in November, 1875. The following
September the Sisters of St, Benedict
from ST Joseph, Mo-, took charge of
the school, which began with fifty
spuPils. At present the parish school
has an enrolment of more than 440.
In 1884 the church and residence
were moved to their present location
on North Fourth street The corner
stone of a new church was laid June
19, 1887, by Archbishop Ireland, who
blessed the church September Is, 1888.
This church cost 100000, and the
equipment and furnishings were gifts
of parishioners. At the Silver Jubilee
OF the parish in 1896, Right Reverend
Abbot Engel, o. S. B., sang the Pom
tifical High Mass, and Father Mein-
ulph, Q. S. B., pastor of the parish.
preached the sermon.
In 1897 the new school was blessed
by the Rev. Timothy Vaeth, o. s. b.
This school contains eight large rooms
and a spacious auditorium on the top
floor.
Parish Improvements.
Father Othmar Erren, o. S. B., In
1904, became pastor of st. Joseph's
parish. The parish had been great
success, but there was still debt Of
$4,000, and both the Sisters resi-
dence and the pastors home were too
small for present needs.
In 1914 the rectory was remodeled
at cost of $4,000. Two years later
the Sisters home was enlarged at an
expense, of $4,000. These improve
ments have given st. Joseph's parish
plant as complete as any in the Dio-
cese.
Father Erren deserves great credit
for his energy and zeal in building
up the parish and in welding its vari-
GUS units into one harmonious whole.
The assistant priests at the present
time are Rev. Wilfred Partika, o. S.
B., and Rev. Edwin Sieben, o. S. B.
| The number of families belonging to
/ the church is about five hundred.
/ Vacations from Parish.
st. Joseph's parish has given six
| priests to the Benedictine Order, be-
! sides Rev. VIM. Blum, pastor of Rob-
binsdale, MINI. Three other young
men from the parish are now pursu-
ing their theological studies. The
parish has also given twenty-eight of
it's favored daughters to the service of
God in the various Sisterhoods.
