Prominent men and women of
Texas have begun movement to
restore and preserve the four historic
Franciscan mission buildings in San
Antonio The proposal originated with
Mrs. Harry Sanderson Mulliken, wife
of a special assistant in the United
d. c., and has received the approba-
ton and active support of Right Rev.
Arthur j. Drossaerts, Bishop of San
Antonio.
Mrs. Mulliken intends to appeal not
only to the people of Texas, but to all
Americans to contribute to the pres
ervation of these relics of some of the
earliest monuments of Christian civili-
zation in this country. The buildings
are rapidly falling into decay, and un-
less some means are taken to rehabili-
tate. and maintain them they will be-
fore many years be only heaps of
ruins, Mrs. Mulliken says

San Antonio are in reality the rem
nants of so many churches which stood
in the midst of the little colonies of
Spaniards and Catholic Indians who
formed the beginnings of the present
city. In all, there were five of these
churches, that of San Antonio de Val
ero, now the Alamo" having been one
of them. 1t was from this church of
San Antonio de Valero that the city
takes it's name.
The Mission of San Jose, outside
San Antonio, is the Oldest and largest
of the remains of these early Catholic
churches. 1t was built in 1718.. The
Mission of San Francisco de Espada
was erected in 1880, and that of La
Purisima Conception in 1871. San
Antonio de Valero, the alamo" dates
from 1744, having in that year been
transferred from a previous site on
the military plaza of the city.
Buildings Are Church Property.
All these old missions and several
others in different parts of Texas
were formerly acknowledged by the
Congress of Texas as the property Of
the Catholic Church. Their possession
was confirmed to ''the Chief Shepherd
of the Roman Catholic Church in the
Republic of Texas" through the eff.
forts of the Project Apostolic, John M.
Odin, who was supported by M. de
Saligny, the French minister.

Who selects the Cardinals in the

Who selects the Cardinals in the
Church.?
The Cardinals are selected, or, as it
is put in the language of the Church,
created by the Pope. The Pope has
the plentitude of authority and selects
certain men to be his councillors in
government. They are known by the
name of Cardinals
May a Catholic couple be married
without a Mass?
A Catholic couple may be married
outside of Mass, but If they have the
right kind of faith and wish the bless
ing of God upon their marriage they
will be married at Mass unless there
is some serious prohibiting reason.
was invested with the Scapular
some years ago. Must have new
scapular, that wish to begin wearing,
blessed?
No; there is no need to have new
scapular blessed when you have once
been enrolled.
! IT | believe that a person has gone
to Heaven, without any Purgatory,
should ! still pray for that soul?
You should While there is no
doubt that myriads of souls pass at
once from life to Heaven, without the
cleansing of Purgatory, still we can
not be certain of any one in particular
unless the Church had canonized such
a person. Charity, therefore, would
dictate, that we exclude none from the
suffrage of our prayers and other good
works. Even if the soul for whom
we pray is now enjoying Gods vision
| in Heaven, our prayers will not be
wasted; God will apply them to other
souls.
When should person send for the
priest in case of sickness?
When person is sick enough to be
in bed, there is reason to send for a
| priest. The presence of the priest
does not necessarily mean the ad
ministration of the last sacraments;
| he is not the forerunner of the under.
taker. The priest can read an official
blessing of the sick, can speak words
of encouragement and good cheer, and
especially he can form a judgment OF
the advisability of administering the
sacraments. Good Catholics do not
wait until death is approaching before
receiving the last sacraments; they
desire to receive those sacraments
especially holy visticum, when they
are in the full possession of their
senses. The fact that the priest ad
vises the reception of extreme unc
ton does not constitute a death
warrant; this sacrament helps the
body as we'll as the soul.
What should a person do If he
entirely forgets what penanee the
priest gives in confession?
Strictly speaking, he is not obliged
to do anything except to try to recall
the penance assigned. The penance
assigned has special efficacy, and the
penitent is not at liberty to substitute
another. He is obliged to perform the
penance as it was given, to the best
of his ability; if through forgetfulness
he is not certain of the penance, his
obligation is at an end.

AID BEDA COLLEGE

"A sum of $13,500 has been raised by
the English Catenian Association, a
society that corresponds in many
ways to the Knights of Columbus, for
the restoration Of the Beda College in
Rome which has made an urgent appeal
for financial assistance.
The collection among the Catenians
was taken up on the suggestion of the
Archbishops and Bishops of England,
on whose behalf letter was address
ed to the Grand President by Cardinal
Bourne at the time of the recent
episcopal conference at Westminster.

a non-Catholic friend of mine tells
me that the Catholic religion is not
the first religion, since the Jews first
had their own mode OF worship.
Almighty God called the Jews to be
the chosen people. After the human
race had wandered from the truth and
the belief in one God, Abraham was
chosen by God to be the father of a
new race of believers. The true relig'
ion was thus preserved by the Jews,
even during the periods of their exile
although they often fell into idolatry
The Old Testament shows the con
tinuity of this one, true faith 1t also
foreshadows the coming Of Christ
When Our Lord appeared and founded
His great organization this Church be
came the only true Church and the
Jewish religion was abrogated by
Christ. Since the establishment of the
Catholic Church many other forms OF
Christianity have sprung up through
out the world, but they are, merely
limitations, and they trace their origin
to some human agency. In other
words, the true religion was establish
ed by God in Eden, transmitted by the
Jews and preserved and perfected by
Catholic Church, in order to perpetu
ate the teaching of religious truth.
A Catholic couple is married, and
divorced, the husband wishes to marry
Catholic girl, telling her that the
marriage can be performed by q
Catholic Bishop in Wisconsin. Is this
possible?
Supposing the first marriage to have
been valid, it is impossible for this
man to marry Catholic girl so long
as his wife lives. Not even Bishop
can permit this.
How often are General Councils
held? When was the last one held?
These General Councils are Of
very rare occurrence, being held only
when very grave matters of faith, OF
morals, or discipline, must be dis
cussed. The Fact that there have been
only nineteen General Councils since
the beginning of the Church clearly
indicates that they are convoked only
when absolutely necessary. The last
Council was the Vatican Council, as
sembled on December 8, 1869, al
which the late James Cardinal Glib
Dons was present.
How do we know that the bod,
Of the Blessed Virgin Mary was taker
into Heaven? Is there anything in
Scripture concerning it?
Although there is nothing in
Scripture on the Assumption of Oul
Blessed Lady into Heaven, still it has
always been the constant tradition O
the Church. Besides reason itsel
shows it's absolute fittingness and it:
strict accordance with the superemi
nent dignity of the Blessed Mother o
God that her Divine Son would not al
low her body to taste corruption
Though the Assumption has not as We
been defined as a doctrine of faith, still
it would be extremely rash to deny it
since it has been the general belief o
the Church for many centuries,

An inspector at the county line be
tween Lyon and Washoe counties TO
preventing the spread of alfalfa weevi
should be furnished at state expense
say the Churchill county commission
ers. declaring that only state author
ity can enforce the quarantine.
While promising to do everything
in their power to influence the Ne
vada governor to take action in plac
ing an inspector, the county commits
sioners refused financial aid to tn,
plan proposd by committee from
the Chamber of Commerce, composed
OF w. J. Moody, A. ]. Reed, l.. Z.
Cline and C. G. Swingle.
The committee proposed that thi.
and Lyon counties share in the ex-
pense OF maintaining an inspector
fearing that unless such a step is ia.
ken quarantine restrictions from Cali
fornia will be placed against those
two counties as we'll as against Wa
shoe, Storey and Ormsby.
Claiming that the matter was be-
yond their jurisdiction and that the
county could not afford the expense,
S. ]. Rogers addressed the governor
for aid in the following letter:
Hon. F.. D. Boyle,
Governors Office,
Carson City, Nevada.
My Dear Governor: Farm Bureau
representatives and other farmers
apparel before our Board of County
Commissioners requesting us to sta
ton quarantine officer at Wadswortll,
Lyon County adjoining us, in the mat
ter to search the Indians wagons
and lessen the chances of alfalfa wee
vii reaching our territory from the
Truckee meadows.
This request evidently has dual
purpose, the minimizing the chances
Of the spread of the weevil and to
lessen the chances of California au-
thorities extending the quarantine.
The Commissioners believe this is
entirely a state function. We re-
fused the above request and referred
these representatives to your Office,
promising to join them in presenting
tn matter to you. 1t appears un-
necessary for us to call your atten-
tioa to the serious results of qpar-
antine against the hay on this pro-
ject by California. l know you are
we'll informed on this Subject, but
reminding you of the necessity of
your Office doing everything needed
to keep the California authorities
satisfied as to the manner in which
your quarantine against Washoe is
maintained. appears not to be out
of place.
Sincerely,

Commissioners.
