AN AFRICAN PRIEST
FIRST NATIVE NlGERiAN PRIEST
Is ORDAINED BY BISHOP
FREDERICK.

(By N. C. w. C. News Service.)
Paul Emecete, the first native Afri-
can to be ordained for the Church of
Western Nigeria, was elevated to
the dignity of the priesthood Janu-
airy 6 in Asaba, the capital of the Niger
Territories.
The Feast of the Epiphany was
chosen by Bishop Frederick, the Vicar
Apostolic, as most fitting for the cere-
mony, which was witnessed by sixteen
priests and a large number of the
faithful and catechumens. Hundreds
received Communion at the hands OF
the new priest after the ordination.
Father Emecete is member of the
Lyons Society for African Missions.
He was born of pagan parents in 1888,
about the time of the arrival OF the
first missionaries. A catechist induced
his parents to send the boy, who
seemed remarkably intelligent, to the
mission center in Asaba for educa
ton. After his own baptism in 1899
Paul had the happiness of seeing his
| father baptized on his deathbed ano
later sixteen other members OF his
family were converted. For severa
| years the young man was a catechis
and he was offered several responsible
government positions, but these he de
clined to enter the priesthood. HI
has been assigned to parish work il
Asaba and is teaching Latin to severa
young men who are preparing TO
1 theological studies.

FATHER TH|EBAUT HONORED
CHANCELLOR OF ST. CLOUD DO.
cEsE IS MADE DOMESTIC PREL.
ATE-HAS HAD MUCH EXPERT.
ENcE IN DIOCESAN WORK.
Communicated

(COmmun1cated)
Upon the recommendation of Right
Reverend Bishop Busch, our Holy
Father, Pope Benedict XIV, has nom.
mated Reverend Father Camille THE.
baut, Domestic Prelate. The numer.
Gus friends of Rev. Father Thiebaut
will rejoice on hearing of the dignity
conferred on him.
The new Prelate, after few years
teaching at the well known College
OF La Malgrange at Nancy, his orig
inal diocese, came to offer his serv-
ices to- Bishop Marty who was Bishop
at that time. He was sent as first res
ident pastor at Browns Valley, MINI.
At that time there was neither church
nor house at Browns Valley; and as
for Pensioners there were only three
or four dozen new settlers who had to
fight against the difficulties and the
poverty of hard beginning. The
young Levite, however, began his
work resolutely.
Full of zeal and with a cheerful
disposition, bright, intelligent and
gifted to high degree, Father THE
baut soon became master of the Eng
lish language. In a short time he
bought and transformed a Baptist
chapel which he made the parochial
church. He then purchased a house
that became his residence; and during
twenty years he continued unceasing-
ly and without encouragement to de-
vote himself to his work He thus be-
came the leader in Browns Valley.
Protestants as well as Catholics went
to Father Thiebaut when there was
question of any kind to be settled
for the locality; when there was a
question of a public school, a library,
or electric light, or measures to be
taken to safeguard the moral inter
ests of the people, nothing was done
without the advice of the parish
priest
He had just completed a church, a
real masterpiece of architecture in
which he had centered his whole
heart and artistic taste, and was then
prepared to realize his dream as pas
tor by the establishment of paro-
chial school, when his new Bishop,
Right Rev. Bishop Busch, D. D., from
their first meeting found out what
treasures of knowledge and devoted
ness and administrative ability were
hidden under the modestly and cheer
full manners of the humble priest at
Browns Valley.
Bishop Busch had intended to give
his Episcopal see a model establish
ment that would become the center
of social life for diocesan purposes.
He needed man who was capable of
carrying out this undertaking, and
Father Thiebaut was then appointed
Chancellor of the diocese. His pru-
dence and skill in fulfilling the duties
of his office were conspicuous. Bishop
Busch is prelate with big heart
and has desired to regard and honor
priest whose long and devoted min
istry in the diocese of st. Cloud has
been fruitful in good works and words.
The numerous friends of Father
Thiebaut are jubilant to offer him
many years of the purple of which he
has proved himself SO worthy.

John the Baptist's humility earned
for him this memorable praise from
the lips of Christ, THAT among the
born of women there has not arisen
greater than John the Baptist" The
Blessed Virgin humbled herself, and
the Scripture says: Behold He hath
regarded the humility of His hand
maid, for behold from henceforth all
generations shall call me blest. The
greatest saints of the Old and New
Testament possessed in a pre-eminent
degree the virtue of humility.

Irish priests are combining to SOW

The clerical pioneers have other
points to convince those who could aid
in capitalizing trade ventures. To
mention few: Raw Materials are
available in abundance. Sea COM
munication is easy. For many manu-
factures-teXtile work, as an instance
the climate is one of the best. Many
buildings, formerly mills, are await

several popular centers requiring en-

There is great backbone of agricul-

spreading of capital over the west
and south would reap rich harvest.
The political situation is undoubted-

is reached the up-take will be rapid.

TO RESTORE SOVIET
SOVIET GOVERNMENT, AIM OF
JEWS IN cZEcHo.sLovAkI

(By N. C. w. C. News Service.)
Jews have seized control of almost
every form of power in Czecho-Slovak-
ia. Financial influence, official posi-
tons, political machinery-all these
are in the hands of the Jews, and they
are being used to the detriment of the
Christians.
AS they joined and promoted every
movement for the overthrow of the
Russian government and the final
triumph of Bolshevism over the Rus
sian people, SO now the Jews are the
head and front of the Vaccinations
designed to place Czecho-Slovakia un-
der the dominion of the Soviet. They
want to end the present government
and substitute regime in which they
will be the leaders and dictators.
| Public Bolshevist demonstrations
began in Prague, December IL, and
have since spread to all parts of the
Republic. These demonstrations were
supported by general strikes. The
Jews were the principal source of this
agitation and of it's encouragement
