WOMEN ASSISTANTS
GERMAN WOMEN BEING TRAINED
TO ASSIST PASTORS.

(By n. C. w. c. News Service.)
Enlargement of the present courses
of the Werthmann Institute, Berlin, to
provide for the training of young
women for social work and as lay
assistants to pastors will be made in
time for the beginning of the sessions
next autumn. A two years course
will be inaugurated for those seeking
this preparation.
This type of education is found to
be necessary as a means of equipping
lay helpers for the pastors of churches
in the larger cities. 1t is expected that
the graduates from the special course
will be especially fitted to perform GER
tain valuable work under pastoral di-
rection. This will include secretarial
duties, cooperation in bringing about
religious marriages, visitations to
homes for the reconversion of delin-
querts and backsliders, assistance as
catechists and general social welfare
work.

that they do feed. The grass and the
leaves and even the bark of the trees
have all disappeared-used as food.
So this is the reverse side of the
picture of today. Shall we forget it
with shudder and turn once more to
our comfortable abundance; congrat-
ulating ourselves on the manifold re-
wards of our virtue the while we con-
tinue to MUNICH our candy, throng our
movies" use our coal and light and
food unchecked? Or shall we, each CT
us, make some real sacrifice to help
starving Austria and the dying Chi
nese? Do all we can, and many will
have to starVe anyway. But l wonder
if our unprecedented abundance just
at this time is given to us by Goo,
who has numbered the hairs of each
of our heads, as a reward of virtue, Or
as a test of our charity, a challenge
to our boosted and undoubted generos-
ity.
Three years ago we were going with
out light and food and clothing in
order to kill men. Could we not do
as much now to save men - and
babies. Or is it worth while?

MINNEAPOLIS

Pro-CathedraI of st. Mary: An elo.
cutionary recital by Miss Eva B. Walk,
er was given in the auditorium of
the school on Friday evening of last
week. Lovers of the art of public
speaking enjoyed a real treat in the
readings of this young woman, whose
selections were of unusual artistic
merit, and of such a varied character
as to make up a well balanced and
delightful program. The humorous
and the solemn, dialect, classical, and
sacred readings blended harmoniously
and displayed a wide range of talent
in the reader. Her Interpretation of
Queen Katharine's plea before Cardi-
nal Wolsey and King Henry VIII was
particularly splendid. The pathos and
the passion, the alternate tenderness
and indignation of Katharine in this
celebrated scene were portrayed with
intense emotional power, yet with a
rare and delicate skill. Miss Walker
has been studying for several years
under the direction of Miss Irene
Booth, who formerly played in Shake
spearean roles with her illustrious
uncle, Edwin Booth. Miss Walker is
a convert to the Catholic faith and it
is her wish to devote her life to the
religious and social betterment of Col
ored Catholics.

THE GOOD SAINT
ST. ELIZAsETH'S COFFIN ROBBED
OF ITS JEWELS.

(By n. G.. w. G. News Service)
Twelve unusually large pearls anil
1913 other precious stones of great
value have been pried from the en-
crustation of their setting on the COT
fin of ST. Elizabeth of Hungary, "thc
greatest woman of the German Mid
die Ages" and taken by thieves who
invaded the church which bears her
name, in Maribor, Jugo-Slavia. In adj
dition to the jewels many costly robes
were stolen.
This church was built in the thir
teenth century and contains beauti-
full shrine and sarcophagus of the
saint whose name it bears. For the
better part of the last six centuries,
except when the Protestant Landgrave
of Hesse, Philip the Magnanimous, in
terfered, this church has been con-
stantly visited by pious pilgrims from
all quarters of Europe.
st. Elizabeth was the wife of Lud-
wig, Landgrave of Thuringia and for a
time regent of Meissen and East
Mark, who died while on crusade to
the Holy Land with Frederick ii,
Elizabeth died in November, 1881, and
was canonized by Pope Gregory TX in
1885. Her remains were in 1919
placed in the church erected in her
honor.

DIOCESE OF ST. CLOUD

St. Joseph: All st. Benedict's Col
lege was astir when the most pleas
ant news of the year was circulated
among the expecting Sisters and eager
girls, that Right Reverend Bishop
Busch had returned from his recent
visit to Rome and that he would hon.
or the college with his presence at 4
o'clock on Sunday, December 10. The
| reception rendered him by the Sisters
and students was one of sincerest re-
gard for their long missed spiritual
| Father and Guardian. Upon his ar
| rival the Bishop was heartily greeted
| by joyful chorus of welcome, Wei
come, Greet we your Lordship with
| Cheer" Music and song filed the
| air; joy and gladness reigned supreme.
The most pleasant of hours was spent
| in listening to the interesting account
of his experiences while abroad. New
err before had we heard such vivid
| and detailed description of Rome, of
the Vatican, of His Holiness Benedict
XIV, of the most famous churches in
Rome, and of the Catacombs. .-.
While far away from his flock, the
Right Reverend Bishop as a true
shepherd of his fold had not forgotten
his children. In testimony of his de-
votion to st. Benedict's he secured
from His Holiness token of his faith
erly solicitude in the form of special
blessing for the Sisters of st. Bene-
| diets convent.
An elaborate dinner was served the
Bishop and his attendants, Very Rev
erend Father Thiebaut, Very Rever-
end Father Luke, o. S. B., and Rev
erend Father Henry, O. S. B. The
dining room was beautifully decorated
in the appropriate Christmas colors of
red and green, artistically set off by
Christmas bells, poinsettias, and chry-
santhemums.
At seven o'clock the Right Rever:
end Bishop was escorted to the audi
forum which was gaily decorated in
Christmas colors. After a song OF
greeting by the vocal pupils and a
Welcome Home" address by Laura
Brun, three act comedy entitled
Girls in a Boarding School, was
presented by the members of the Elk
preston Class. Immediately after
: wards a beautiful little Christmas pa
geant took the entire audience to the
Court of King Winter where elaborate
preparations were being made for {
Happy Christmas. At the close Of the
pageant Bishop Busch gave an address
in which he expressed his great pleas
: ure in being at home once more afte1
his very interesting trip of three
months abroad. The beautiful new
curtain in the auditorium, representa-.
st. Peters and the Vatican, callet
1 forth words of admiration from him a.
l it would, he said, be ever a reminde
: to him of the wonderful days that h
: had spent in Rome, in the shadow o
: st. Peters.

cal property of the Catholic Church in
Roumania is expected to be seized I'M
der the law of appropriation passed

This parsonage said:
"We8 Catholics in Roumania are
reckoning on the enforcement of this

bill of execution. Originally in.
tended for Old Roumania it was aimed
at the vast properties of the Bojars
the agrarian magnates. A consid
cradle ecclesiastical property was not
then embraced in the provisions OF

changed by the annexation of new
