the studio of the College on the hill
from Thursday, April %, to Thursday, |
May 5. In announcing the exhibition, |
Father Raphael said: "It' has been
my custom for several years to invite |
the public to view my works before
shipping them away to their destina-
ton. Many people appreciate this op-
portunity, as may be seen from the
ever-increasing number Of visitors at
each exhibition. The Immaculate
Conception, patroness of the United
States,' will undoubtedly appeal to
many. The painting, st. Joseph, pa
iron of the Universal Church of labor
and of a happy death is appropriate
for this year, which marks the 50th
anniversary Of the declaration of St.
Joseph as patron of the Universal
Church by Pope Plus TX"
A Priests Invention.-A piece of
mechanism that is bound to be of in
calculable benefit to mankind was re-
Gently devised by the Rev. Thomas J.
Glynn, chaplain at st. Joseph's hos
pital, Pittsburgh, Pa. His invention
is a trolley-arm train stopper to oper
ate the air-brakes of fast-moving
trains that run past their signals. A
trolley-arm, similar to those on street
cars, Swings into place as a train
passes signal and by friction when
the arm comes into contact with the
engine tender, sets the air-brakes on
the train. Father Glynn believes that
| he has overcome the objection of
some engineers that the arm could not
| withstand the shock of contact with a
fast-nioving train. He has demon
strated his invention to engineers of
several signal and railroad companies
and is offering it to any railroad that
will adopt it for the good of human
ity. With the device in operation,
| Father Glynn hopes to prevent those
railroad accidents that are annually
reaping large toll of human lives
because of defective signaling or care
lessness.
CoIored Catholics in Boston.-We
; have in Boston large number of
colored Catholics, and they are con.
stantly increasing, says an exchange
On Easter Sunday great many col
ored people attended the Masses at
the Cathedral, and no doubt the same
, was true of other Boston churches
In the st. Vincent de Paul Society
Charitable Workers of the coloreG
race, and at the recent retreat of the
st. Vincent de Paul Society inclemen
weather and considerable distance die
\ not hinder them from attending every
, exercise. The Catholic Church offers
the best solution of the race problem
, fortunately less acute in Massachu
sets than in other parts of our coun
try. She wishes to accord to the Ne
gro full justice in all that pertains Il
religion. In the last pastoral letter o
: the Archbishops and Bishops of tn,
United States it was stated: "Tha
all attempts to stir up racial hatred
}. should be most earnestly deprecated
for in the eyes of the Church there il
no distinction, of race or of nation
e there are human souls, and thes,
f have all alike been purchased at tn,
: great price, the blood Of Jesus Christ.
