ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS there is the re-
hottest chance to slur Catholicism it is
done. The guides for Rome, for ex-
conclusions and theories which can
not be otherwise interpreted by the
Catholic who knows the history of
his Church than as a subtle attack
upon everything that is dear to him
in that regard. One hardly stops to
silence the ignorant guides furnished
by even such prominent travel agen-
cies as Thomas Cook & Son, that one
hears explaining in st. Peters or in
some of the other churches, the great
monuments of Christian antiquity. I
have followed Cooks agents through
St. Peters and have heard nothing
but illusions to immortality on the
part of the Popes, to obscure legends,
and downright lies. 1t is a first prin-
ciple with most of these guides that
only that which is suggestive of
| wrongdoing and of immoral living can
have any interest for the American
school teacher or for the American
business man in such a center of sane

Der of interesting treasures at the

Scotland, which appeal to the lover
of historic things and relics connected
with the faith. Perhaps the most in
teresting of these is a relic of the

relic of great historic appeal. An

For enforcement of Sacred Heart.
| A crusade for the enforcement of
the Sacred Heart in Catholic families
has been preached of late in number
of centers in England by Rev. Matheo
Crowley, G. IS. H., to whom the cam
paign has been entrusted. He has
preached for this cause in some forty
religious houses in the around Lon
don. During October, when he will be
| in London again, he will make the
the metropolis and will make tour of
the south of England. On October II
| he is to preach morning and evening
at Westminster Cathedral, for the first
celebration of the feast of St. Mar
garet Mary Alacoque.
For Blessed Louise.-An interesting
| event is reported from England in the
account of a iridium in honor of the
| Marillac, foundress of the Sisters of
Charity, which was observed with no.
table solemnity at St. Vincent's, Mill
Hill, the Provincial House of the Con-
gregation A striking feature of the
occasion was the presence of two
large pictures which were painted by
the Sisters. One of these depicted
the apotheosis of Blessed Louise, and
the other that of the four Sisters of
Charity martyred at Cambria in 1894,
and beatified on June Is last. These
attracted much attention and admira-
ton. Many Sisters of Charity came
from far and near to attend the exer-
cises. A quaint touch was given to
the event by some so novices wearing
the habit worn by the Sisters at the
beginning of the Community in 1884
London Catholic Reading Rooms
Steps have been taken toward the
realization of long-cherished ideal
in the establishment of central bur-
eau and reading room in one of the
leading London thoroughfares for the
dissemination of Catholic propaganda.
The Catholic Truth Society has asked
for guarantors in connection with the
project, which aims at giving the work
Of Catholic propaganda along these
lines more efficient facilities. The
plan is in the nature of an experiment,
and is on scale which has not pre-
viously been attempted in this field.
The work is also to be an enlarge
