SOLEMN WARNING TO NATION

capable of paying tribute to anything
good. With the institution of mar
riage our American life is so singu-
larly allied, so intimately bound up,
that if it's permanency and honorable
character be really declining among
us we must ask ourselves in most
real alarm, whether actual moral de-
generacy does not threaten to set in
among the American people.
Without the bond of marriage
holding together and blessing the pio-
neers of our nation, and accompanying
them everywhere as they penetrated
and conquered the wilderness, and be-
coming the solid and certain corner
stone of each community, and OF eV-
cry sovereign state, as these arose
never would the world have witnessed
the inspiring and almost incredibly
rapid growth and the providential
progress of our nation.
If that bond is not merely loosen
ed, but is to be cast aside; and if the
Laws of God and man are to be brok-
en-, and a spirit of anarchy is to pre-
vail, destroying, if it be able, the
spiritual and moral values of the in
stitution of marriage, actual moral de-
cline has come upon us, religion is
at ebb tide instead of at flood, and
the best interests of our country, ma
terial as well as spiritual, are doomed
to meet with disaster.
A Holy State.
Marriage is no mere legal contract,
still less is it casual union of two
selfish individuals brought together by
caprice or passion. 1t is a Sacrament.
1t is a holy estate. 1t is blessed and
consecrated by God and maintained
| inviolate by Gods Church. Therefore,
the "sacredness of the home" has a
meaning deeper than it's natural priv
acy and it's intimacy and inviolability.
Assuredly, the home is sacred because
| it is established with Gods benedic-
ton to carry out His purpose in re-
gard to mankind.
I repeat, then, with special empha-
| sis the warning words af the Pastoral
Letter and | appeal to our faithful
Clergy and the Laity to heed it's SOL
| emn admonitiOn that there is need Of
greater and ever greater vigilance in
protecting the home. at this time, OW-
ing to conditions which tend to weaken
! it's influence. THE demands of in
dustry, of business and of social inter
course as the Pastoral Letter truth
fully declares, subject the family tie
to a stain that becomes more severe
as civilization advances. Parents who
are sensible of their obligations, will
exert themselves to meet external
pressure by making the home more
attractive"

1t is true that the Smith
Towner bill, as it stands now is
not worded against parish schools,
says a writer. But it is also true
that the U. S. bureau of education
has spent money to promote the
bill, and Commissioner Claxton is
opposed to private schools, having
said so very plainly; and it is true
that governmental departments
constantly show a tendency to in
crease their powers, not diminish
them. Therefore the Republican
party is to be sincerely congrat-
ulated for ignoring the Smith
Towner lobbyists in their attempts

The Irish Statesman, anti-Sinn
Fem organ, admits this: "The
first fact that the English people
has to recognize is that British
government in Ireland has ceased
to exist, and that it can never be
restored. The second fact which
the English people has to recog-
nize is that Ireland is at this mo-
ment governing herself. If she is
governing herself badly it is be-
cause all the recognized ma
chinery of the law is in alien
hands, and because she is govern
ing herself subject to the con-
tinual interference Of the English
military. But governing herself
she is and that we should suppose
is sufficient proof of her capacity
for self-government. =

CATHOLIC HOSPITALS.


The convention of Catholic hos
pitfalls in st. Paul this week re-
calls the great debt that the world
owes to Catholic nursing. Flor
ence Nightingale is generally
looked upon as the foundress of
modern nursing: she merely in
PRODUCED into England the art and
science that had fourished ON the
continent for many centuries.
When the Crimean war broke
with all it's fury England found
herself unable to minister to the
needs Of the wounded of her ar
mics; hospital nursing in England
had fallen deplorably low and was
scorned by the better classes.
Florence Nightingale had studied
abroad the most scientific methods,
chiefly from the Sisters Of Charity
and the Sisters of Mercy in Paris
and Rome. She thus was enabled
to inaugurate a complete system
that was afterwards developed in
England:
Hospitals in the real sense were
practically unknown to the
pagans Of old. Christian charity
originated the idea of caring for
the sick and needy; Christian
nurses became a recognized part
of public welfare work. To St.
Benedict we owe the first practical
demonstration Of scientific nurs-
ing. The villages that grew up
around the Benedictine monas-
teries were attended by trained
workers, both men and women,
who wore the religious garb of
the great Saint, and who nursed
the sick villagers in their homes
or in hospitals.
The Crusades gave new impetus
to this branch of Christian char
lily. From Paris to Jerusalem the
sick, wounded and weary lay
along the roads that led TO the
Holy City. In order to care for
these warriors, as we'll as for
travellers and pilgrims, houses
and nursing stations were opened
all along the way. Some mer-
chants of Italy contributed an i'm
mense sum Of money and two hos
pitfalls were established in Jeru.

CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY
BY SENATOR WALSH OF
MASSACHUSETTS, GIFTS AN
NOUNCED - INDIAN RECEIVES
DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHIL
OSOPHY - FIFTY-ONE SISTERS
GAIN HONORS.

More than two hundred graduates
of the Catholic University, fifty-one of
whom were Sisters, received degrees
at the thirty-frst commencement of
the institution on June Is. A doctor
ate in philosophy was conferred on
Sister Mary Louise, of the Sisters of

Paschal Sherman, a full-blood Indian

conferred the degree of Doctor of

first member of his race to win this

Senator WaIsh's Address,.
U. S. Senator David I. Walsh Of
Massachusetts, delivered the principal
address to the graduates.
communism, bolshevism, social
ism, syndicalism and all the other
creeds of kindred species would col
| lapse overnight were it not for the
false doctrines and powerful forces of
the great business and educational
world in the mad rush for gold," Sena-
| tor Walsh said.
"Shun as you would a kissing ser
pent the false teachings of the revo-
lutionist and the money worshipper,' %
he continued. avoid both camps of
| destructive and faulty philosophy
| Your Christian education and Chris
tan ideals alone will lead you into
the neutral, truly patriotic and sim
cerely humanitarian group that are
seeking to steady society.
"a country and a world organized
on Christion principles is what your
university is striving to uphold. Here
you have been taught to recognize the
necessity for strong constitutional
government resting on liberty, fra
ternity, equality and justice, and your
university has always encouraged and
supported our government as the EN-
bodiment of such. Your education
here has regarded human rights be-
fore private interests and declared
with splendid vision that no mans la
Dor is commodity exploitable by
others. Your university shall always
stand, l feel sure, for government
deriving its consent from the govern
ed and dedicated to the proposition
that all men are created equal.
