A LIVELY FAITH.

The Bishops Pastoral Letter
reminds us: eve would have you
bear always in mind that your
faith is your most precious posses
sion and the foundation Of your
spiritual life.'
The history of the ages dis
closes the Catholic Faith in many
and various forms of beauty and
wondrous growth. The Roman
prosecutions drove the followers
of the Crucified into the depths of
the earth: but like precious seed
their faith took root. burst
through the soil, expanded into a
mighty tree and shed it's fragrance
throughout the earth, and the
children of men came and rested
beneath it's cooling shade.
Man s intellect rose in revolt,
denied the truths Of Christianity,
and set no false gods. Then it
was that the Church gave proof of
the latent powers that challenged
the forces of error; heresies were
combated By the giant intellects

WHAT ABOUT BAVARIA?

Kind hearted persons through
out the country are sending dona-
tons of food, money and clothing
to the suffering and destitute in
Germany and Austria. 1t is a
a splendid work Of charity and
benetcence, and should continue
to enlist the sympathy of our peo-
pie.
1t seems. however, that condi-
tons in Bavaria are terrible, but
that little relief is reaching the
most deserving. We have just re-
ceived a pathetic letter from a
professor III Munich with this sug-
gestion which people here would
do we'll to adopt: Send a package
Of foodstutf to some friend in that
country. Money is acceptable, but
food is most desperately needed.
This gentleman. DR.. c. Won Hess,
who is not a stranger to St. Paul
physicians, is we'll known in
Europe as the premier eye special
list of the world, and yet he pleads
like common beggar for suf1i-
cicnt food to keep body and soul
together. His case is sadly de-
scriptivc Of the depths Of hunger
and poverty to which even per
sons in high standing are reduced.
He writes:
Dear Friend:
1t was very friendly Of you to
remember our days at WucrZburg.
1t is terrible here. Millions of
people are dying of hunger. We
all suffer intensely for the lack
Of a little food. Once in a while
a package containing eatables ar
rives from all acquaintance in
America, and it is greeted with
rapturous joy; but it helps only
for a short while.
If YOU would call the attention
of your friends and acquaintance
to our needs you would do a good
deed and cause us many happy
hours. Tell them the greatest
kindness they can show at this
time is to occasionally send some
thing to eat to their Bavarian
friends.
c.. Won HESS.
Such an appeal from man of
world fame, member of the
former nobility-an appeal that
bccs but a little food, surely
should not 60 unanswered. We
recommend as strongly as possible
that those of our readers who have
friends in Bavaria send a package
of food from time to time to al
leviate the suffering of a people
that is. after all, one of the best
Catholic nations in Europe.
The address of the above writer
if desired, will be furnished on
request.

SEEK FARMER SOLDIERS
IDAHO SEEKS SKILLED AND UN
SKILLED FARM WORKERS.
WAGES GOOD.

Commissioner O. H. Barber, of the
Idaho immigration and labor board
has informed the Knights of Columbus
survey committee investigating the
possibilities of placing former service
men in agriculture both as workers
and owners of farms, that the state
can assimilate quite a large number
of men. There has been a shortage
Of farm help during the last year.,
Commissioner Barber said, land for
two and three years previous al
though Idaho paid the largest wages
of any state.'
During the planting and harvesting
time unskilled farm help received
from three to five dollars per day
with or without board, the figures of
some of the counties compiled by the
State Crop Reporting Service show
"A skilled worker earns 500 per month
without board, and SIS per month with
board.
Through the employment service of
the Knights in large cities, it is hoped
to receive and register applicants for
the farm opportunities. The survey
has not yet been completed, but every
phase of agricultural pursuits and
chances for eX-service men with farms
and farming land is being carefully
gone over with a view of acquiring
positive facts and data in States
throughout the country.

BY Walter Finn.

Did you ever see a regiment march
ing that it did not make you wish you
were soldier? | always wanted to
be a soldier and when I'm old I'll en-
list in Uncle Sans Army. the biggest
and best in the world Since I'm only
allowed to write 400 words in this
composition l can't tell you all the
benefits of an enlistment in the army,
but I'll tell you about the ones that
think are most important.
The soldiers have military training
each day: that is why they carry
themselves so erect. They never get
tuberculosis because they exercise in
the open air, and they are well taken
care of. They hike long distances and
that makes them hardy. 1t makes
them hungry too, but they never have
to wait for their meals, and boys like
that. Soldiers must think quickly, for
lives are often saved by quick think
ing. They work all together and that
teaches them to be llnselfish and kind.
They have to obey promptly and in
the most direct manner for an officer
never gives a command twice. They
often have to do things that are hard,
and if they return to civil life, all this
training helps to make them better
citizens. The Inspector gets after
them if they do not look neat or if
their equipment is not kept in order
They learn to do everything for them
selves.
| like to listen to the soldiers tell
about their travels. Don't you? They
learn great deal by travelling
A recruit can get college cduca,
ton in the army. Maybe if he didn t
enlist he wouldn't get that chance.
He may study in any department. He
can learn engineering or aviation or
any trade, and if he should go back to
civil life he will be sure of good Job.
If he studies very hard he can become
an officer. l don't like to study very
hard but l would like to be an officer.
Id like to be a great General like
Pershing.
Boys who enlist prove that they are
loyal to their country and by enlisting
they give good example to others.
They show that they are honorable
by their obedience and respect for
authority. My mother and father
would be proud to have son in the
army. Everyone likes a soldier be-
cause he is manly and brave and be-
cause he is willing to give his life for
his country.

THE \. c. LAFAYETTE
THE KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS
WILL, IN AUGUST, PRESENT A
STATUE OF LAFAYETTE TO
METZ.

Out from Metz on q bright June day
Came the Marquis de Lafayette.
The chimes rang out and the town was
gay
Bold in his youth he rode away
Away to the West, and there he met
Soldiers of France, Brave Jouquerin,
Pelletier and his gallant crew,
Everyone a fighting man
Everyone man who knew
That life is brief and love is long
And liberty's all of freeman's song
Out to the struggling West he came
Noble Marquis of Lafayette,
Out to the West he brought the flame
The flame of France. His magic name
Caught mems hearts in it's magic net
The flame of France oto a darkenet
land,
On and on in the struggle it went;
The flame of France, to stumbling
band,
Ragged and worn and all but spent.
1t gave new zeal to the freemen's
fight
Till the whole world shone in its
glorious light.
Back to Metz from the wondrous West
Hail to the Marquis of Lafayette!
Back with bays from a chivalrOus uuest
Write his name with the nations best
The names Columbia can't forget
In the heart of Metz, there let him
stand
In Americas heart his niche is made
Facing the West. his sword in hand
Glorious, young and unafraid.
knights of France in a hundred
fights,
Take this tribute from new world
knights.

WHAT IS AN OATH?
CATHOLIC SCHOOL BOYS SUR
PRISE AND DELIGHT NEW
YORK JUDGE.

An example of Catholic education
Court in Buffalo, N. Y, says the Union
and Times. Two twelve-year-old boys
appeared as witnesses Of the will of
the late Rev. Dennis M. Reilly, rector
of the Church of the Holy Name Of
Jesus, who died the previous week.
Michael Meyer and John Mueller were
two of Father Reilly's altar boys and
were witnesses to his will. The Union
and Times gives the following account
of the interesting proceedings before
Surrogate Hart:
"Iow did you come to sign this
Wilt" asked the surrogate.
Father Reilly made his will re.
piled young Mueller, land then turned
to Michael and myself and said:
Boys, this is my last will and tesla
nesses to it. Then Michael and l
signed our names. That was all
The statute is complied with,'
calculated Surrogate Hart. Now for
another test. Michael, what is an
OATH"
Without a moments pause young
Meyer replied:
IAN oath, judge, is the calling upon
Almighty God to witness the truth OF

where did you get that definition
Of an Oath?' asked the surrogate.

of the Catholic Church, and the
followers of man-made religions
persisted on the ruins of their
earthly temples.
Throughout the history of the
Church sterling faith, fortified by
exemplary lives, lay at the very
foundations of all religious en-
deavor. The fury of Roman pas
sion beat in vain against the rock
of faith; the subtle wiles of heret-
zeal allurements failed after few
attempts. And yet the danger to
that same faith is as great today,
it not greater, than ever before.
Catholic belief is essentially OPP
posed to the ideals of the world.
The religion of Jesus Christ is
founded on blood and suffering,
and only through the channels of
bitterness can the faithful hope to
reach the haven that is the reward
of fidelity through the storms of
life. Today the Church is perse-
cuted, hated and dreaded, because
she demands of her followers COM
plete submission and adherence to
the principles that were given
forth by Christ to save the world.
The world understands not the life
Of a Christian, and the Christian
on his part is exposed to be won
over to the standards of the world.
Too many, alas. easily surrender
the practice of their faith in the
face of even slight opposition. But
the Church demands an uncquivo-
cal and sturdy UNFOLDING of that
faith in word and in deed on
every and all occasions. The mo-
ment Catholic begins to make
distinctions as to the quality of
his allegiance he loses his grip
the doWn-and-outward path beck
Ons him forward, and he becomes
traitor to his conscience, a dis
grace to his fellow believers, and
a byword, in a spiritual sense,
among the enemies of the Cross Of
Christ.
Truly is "your faith your most
precious possession and the foun-
dation of your spiritual life. .

WINNERS in ESSAY CONTEST
BY Katherine Majer.

The benefits derived by the man
who enlists in the United States Army
are of such magnitude that they seem
to give decided advantage to the one
who takes Uncle Sans uniform as his
working clothes.
The great advantage, that of health,
has been aptly demonstrated in the
great world war just passed. The
working of the great draft mill. which
took men from all walks of life and
mixed them together to make an army
of them that would mean sure victory
had a greater problem on their hands
than most of us imagine.
The first training that is received
by the soldier is to take such care of
his body, and to so live, that the other
| duties of soldier can be performed
as pleasure. Good, wholesome food,
plenty of air and exercise have turned
the round-shouldered, anemic looking
men of this country into broad
| shouldered, erect and clean men, who
will never forget the lessons taught
| them by the best skilled and most eX-
| pensive teachers in the world, without
cost to him.
| Should any of our soldiers become
| ill, he again receives the aid of the
best skilled doctors that this country
can find. So it is again and again;
the medical services, meals, clothes,
| travel, schools, in fact, everything
desirable by the young man of today,
is within his grasp, without costing
him a cent, if he will only take advan-
tage of them.
| Obedience is requirement of the
army that once acquired by the soldier
will so qualify him for the business
world, that the difference between
soldier and civilian can be seen at a
glance. The word of the soldier is his
law, there is never any doubt. You
can always rely upon the promise of
a good soldier.
Uncle Sans boys are not required
to live life of drudgery. They travel
all over the world at the expense of
the Government, they have reading
rooms, libraries, athletics Of all
descriptions and also have the neces-
sary religious instructions by regu-
larly ordained priests and ministers
of all churches.
A short list of some Of the athletics
with competitions from companies 10
brigade will include baseball, football.
basketball, wrestling, boxing, track
teams and target practice. To the
men showing skill in any of these
sports, goes the opportunity of travel
ing to other army posts to meet the
teams of such camp. The interest
that is manifested by the soldiers wit

able; it relaXes his thoughts of worry

tages over his civilian brother, with

There is no person in the world,

A NEW FEATURE.

Beginning with this issue the
Catholic Bulletin gives it's readers
greatly increased news service.
Through the new department OF
Press and Publicity, organized by
the National Catholic Welfare
Council, the Catholic Bulletin will
receive each week a cable and mail
service from Rome, Paris. London
and Dublin, and a news and fca-
ture service from Washington.
The department of Press and
Publicity Of the National Catholic
Welfare Council, which will
handle the news service, is III
charge Of newspaper men of ma
tional reputation. They will be
assisted by staff of experienced
journalists. All news Develop
ments, both abroad and at home
of especial interest to Catholics
will be adequately reported. More
over, the news service will be sup
plementeu by interesting features
on Catholic subjects which will
make good reading.
With this improved news and
feature service the Catholic Bull
letin ought to become of more
value to all Catholics. We hope
to be able to report to the National
Catholic Welfare Council an in
crease in the subscriptions as an
evidence of material appreciation
of the efforts of the hierarchy to
aid the Catholic Press and,
through the upbuilding of the
Catholic Press, strengthening the
Catholic spirit and promoting
Catholic welfare.

Archbishop Hayes has petitioned
the surroSates court to exempt the
estate of Cardinal Farley from the
State transfer tax, on the ground it
was left for charitable purposes by
being bequeathed for the benefit Of the

The petition gave no value for the
estate, but specified $4,000 worth of
Liberty Bonds. $19,5O0 in commercial
bonds, 17,132.49 cash in bank, seven
parcels of New York real estate and

SOCIALISM AND WAR.

We are told that Socialism
would prevent war.
On the contrary, Socialism
would promote war.
War usually does not arise from
private ownership, nor even from
capitalistic enterprise. True
capitalists Of certain kind &C.
quirc new profits in time of war
when their own country is success
full. But then SO do the workers
under the same conditions. Wit
ness the wages paid to workers
engaged in our country in wal
production enterprises during the
past few years.
War generally originates in ra
cial hatreds and national passions
seeking either revenge or acquisi
tons of territory.
Let Socialism reign in eacl
country and the points of contact
will be sharpened between state
and state: for human passions are
fundamentally the same under
whatever form of government
they may live.
Socialistic states will arouse
sleeping antagonisms as soon il
not more quickly than ordinary
forms Of government, for auto
