ness which Joan of Arc ever wore,
even in the midst of conditions
that would have tried great souls.
God displayed His love for this
victorious Maid by working mir
acles in compliment to her inter-
cession. The Church which she so
highly honored by her virtues has
in turn honored her in every way
possible. Tomorrow will see the
elimination Of the glories which
the Catholic Church bestows upon
her devoted children who have
reached the hei ghts of sanctity.
On. that day the Catholic world
will be hidden speak Of the little
girl Of Domremy as Saint Joan OF
Arc. Every altar throughout the
Catholic world will hear her name
as Mass is. offered to God in her
honor. Everytpulpit will resomd
with her praises, every Catholic
will invoke her intercession, for
she is now a Saint of God.
And France? May Almighty
God harken now as Of old to the
prayer sent forth repeatedly cen
turtles ago by the little Maid Of
Domremy for her beloved France.
AS she witnessed the triumphant
browning of her king in Rheims,
may she soon behold exultantly
the triumph of the Church in the
land Of Clovis, Of st. Louis and OF
the holy Maid herself.

THE VICE PRESIDENT
SPEAKS.

Mr.. Marshall, Vice President of
these United States, has given
forth some wise utterances during
the past few years. Last week he
RECALLED the churches Of the coun-
try with some salutary advice.
Evidently, like Antony, he did not
come to praise; rather did he ex-
cOriate the fragmentary entities
known as the denominations. lie
spoke of "The Church," but from
the trend of his remarks one may
infer that he did not have in mind
the Catholic Church.
Speaking of the devious ways
into which so-called religion had
wandered Che was addressing the
Protestant Inter-Church Move
ment), Mr.. Marshall startled his
hearers with this:
"Gentlemen may cry Peace
Peace!' but there will be no peace
until the Church resumes its func-
tons, renews it's faith, and proves
it's faith by its works. -
The distinguished statesman
then proceeds to tear the hide off
ministers Of religion, elders and
deacons. He points to the hypoc-
risy that would decry murder
and still continue to work little
children to death in mine and fac
tory; that would make large con-
tributions out Of profits wrung I'M
justly from the laborer; that
would forbid larceny and still per
NIT extortion that is so severely
condemned by Scripture. He then
added:
"The man OH the street is not
tired Of the words Of the Nazar-
enc. When the church takes back
the disciplining Of the moral and
religious life Of it's members, when
it trains up it's children with fixed
views, when it proves it's faith in
the communion Of the saints by its
works, it's courts will be thronged
with worshipers, and there will
be no need for patchwork legisla-
ton to reconcile labor and capital,
nation and nation
This is pretty good Catholic
doctrine, and it has been empha-
sized over and over again by the
Catholic Church, especially Of late
by the joint letter of the Amer
lean Bishops. Whether it will
have the least effect on the demon
nations is entirely problematical.
Without a fixed form of faith,
without sacraments, with a free
lance pulpit for every minister, it
will be difficult to put into effect
the wise and fervent admonitions
Of the gentleman from Washing
ton.

THE MAID OF DOMREMY.

About five hundred years ago
France was in the dire straits OF
civil strife. She had gone to war
with her old enemy, England,
opposed to her, and things were
not going well. But in a small
town of Champagne, a place called
Domremy, little girl was grow
ing up. She had first seen the
light of day there in 1412. Like
other children Of the village, she
was but an ordinary, simple child.
Scarcely thirteen years of age,
this little girl, Joan by name, be-
gan to speak of manifestations she
had received. She spoke of mys-
teriOus voices that made them
selves known, Of saints that ap-
peared to her. Slight credence
was given to the tales of the simple
maid. Then she was told that
France needed her. Her heavenly
monitors insisted that she present
herself to the kings commander.
Finally in 1923, in the month of
May, she decided to follow the
admonitions that seemed to be
from heaven.
Joan went to the commander at
Vaucouleurs. He was a typical
soldier Of that day, so he told the
little maids cousin "Take her
home to her father and give her
good whipping.'' He refused to
believe that France was to be
saved by such a childish and in
competent creature.
But JOAN voices continued to
insist. She answered: II am a
poor girl; l know not how to ride
or fight. - But when the voices
told her, cit is God who COM
mands you," she showed such de-
termination that eventually her
victories swept the English before
her, and all her prophecies at last
came true. AS she had foretold,
she stood beside the king when he
was crowned in the city of Rheims
which her valor had wrested from
the enemy.
The way of God with His Saints
is strange. Being God, He does
not act according to human stand
ards but according to His own
divine will. He took a few ignor-
ant and simple fishermen and so
filled them with divine power that
they went forth and overturned
the structure. Of, paganism. which
had been erected by human philos-
ophy in it's wanderings. @>a
Here again He selects an appar-
emily wholly unfit instrument in
order to confer a favor upon a
loved people. By nature, training
and environment Joan Of Arc was
perhaps the least fitted person to
lead the kings armies to victory
on the actual fields Of battle: And
yet, clothed with power from on
high this little girl, La Pucelle,
became formidable to powerful
armies, invincible before great
generals. She did more. In the
midst of all the depravity Of army
conditions Of that period she pre-
served unsullied the highest vir-
tues, the noblest sanctity Of life.
Never did she yield to the slightest
temptation to vanity, pride or 9TH
er evils. Sent Of God, this valiant
| Maid maintained the lofty stand

Now the Cause of the Venerable
Saint of God must pass through more
severe tests than those of the first
examination, or Ordinary Process. In

There is a regular court of law, with

Mr.. Fullerton was full OF enthusiasm
over the French genius for farming.
While amused by some of the anti
quated tools and methods the peasants
employed, such as hoes with eighteen
inch handles, forcing the user to bend
his back at right angles as he works,
and obsolete scythe sharpeners, he
failed to find that conservatism and
distrust of new things with which the
Frenchman Is so generally credited.
He told of introducing to some of them
the wheeled hoe, or automatic seeder,
device that may be used for all sort,
of work, from narrowing to weed
cutting.

one old man decided to try it, and
