the victory.
Jesuits Combating Socialism.-In
Belgium the formation of a cabinet |
with five Catholics, four Socialists and |
three Radicals has been very diff
cult affair; but it is accomplished |
However, there is a serious danger |
sign for Catholics; and that is that |
the most important ministry, as far |
as they are concerned, that of educa |
ton, is in the hands of Socialist. |
For some time the danger of Social |
list majority in Belgium has been fore |
seen; and the Jesuits have been COM
batting Socialistic influences among
the people by the formation of social
works, inspired with Christian ideals,
of which brilliant son of st. Igna-
thus, Pere Meeus, who has just been
decorated by the King, has been the
pioneer.
Late Cardinal Hartmann.-At the
funeral of Cardinal Won Hartmann,
Archbishop of Cologne, the British
garrison was represented by General
Shewen, Major Hall, Father Leech
(the chaplain), and lady members of
the Catholic Club. General Dugout, of
the French general staff, was present,
representing Marshal Foch. The pro-
cession from st. Gerson's Church to
the Cathedral, in vault of which the
remains were laid, was remarkable
tribute Of respect for the memory of
the deceased. The state as well as
the religious authorities were repre-
scented. The Bishop of Munster, Right
Rev. DIR. Poggenburg, preached the
panegyric, dwelling on the Christian
virtues of the deceased cardinal
Cardinal Gasquet.--On the termina-
! ton of his visit to England, Cardinal
| Gasquet consented to be interviewed
and to say something about the rela-
tons existing at the present time be-
tween the Vatican and the allies, and
| particularly his own native country.
| The old method" the Cardinal said,
| "of a sort of back door diplomacy
was entirely repugnant, ineffective
and unseemly." In speaking of pos
| sible future English ambassadors to
the Vatican, the Cardinal remarked
that, although naturally we should
prefer a Catholic, there is no reason
| uyhx hn oh h1 ho1
a Protestant, as indeed has been so
in the case of the former Prussian
ministry. The present relations be-
| tween Great Britain and the Holy See
are of cordial nature; why create an
opening for future misunderstood
| ings?"
Canon Wyndham Dead.-Cardinal
Bourne was present recently at St.
Mary of the Angels, Bayswater, Lon
don, for the Solemn Requiem Mass
sung for the repose of the soul of
Very Rev. Francis Wyndham, O. S. c..
rector of the church, and Canon OF
Westminster Cathedral, who died on
November IA, in his eighty-frst year
A nephew of the first Lord Leconfeld
Canon Wyndham commenced life as
an Anglican clergyman, and was con
verified to the Church in 1868. The
whole of his priestly life of over fifty
years was spent at st. Mary of the
Angels with the Oblates of st. Charles
whom Cardinal Manning established
there. He was a man of wide culture
and was an ardent admirer of Joar
of Arc. He preached the panygeric O.
the Maid in 1910 at Rheims Cathedra
in perfect French, and gave evidence
before the Commission for her beati
! fication. He died in DOLLS Hill Cath
Ollie Hospital.
Stamp Collecting for the Beleia,
| Observation-Disclosures time ago tn,
, Seminary at Liege, Belgium, sent $40,
900 to the Belgian missionaries as thu
: result of collecting used postag,
stamps. The idea of saving stamp!
for the foreign missions is known tt
many people, though few of them Sc,
how the business is done, or know
where to send the stamps. Just nov
Father Charles Schoonjans, S. j., o
: the College Saint-Servais, Liege, Bel
GUM, is conducting a big campaign
for collecting stamps from all over tn
: world. Any stamps will do. Rar
l ones are sold for their market value
! and current issues-which should b
: saved up and sent in ~bulk-are sol
f for decorative purposes. Schoolgirl
j. dren, he suggests, might be taught t
: collect stamps for the missionaries
: and they will reap the double lesso
Y of practical economy and supernatura
\ charity. Stamps should not be dc
J. tached from the envelopes, but cut out
leaving margin to ensure the pei
| forations being intact.
