A PRIEsTLY VOCATION.

When a man is in the full en-
joyment of health and happiness
often is he tempted to regard
lightly the things Of the spirit.
Dissolution seems so far away,
present joys appear permeated
with a touch of the eternal, and
the gentle chidings of conscience
are quickly smothered under the
genial smile of material prosper
ity.
There comes a day, however,
when all is changed. Somehow,
physical forces show signs Of ener-
walton. The old snap and vim are
painfully lacking. Market re-
ports arouse small interest. Fa-
vorite sports evoke no response.
Business affairs, formerly so en-
crossing and absorbing, pail on
the mind. The grasp Of friend
ship, the caress Of filial love, even
the affection of devoted spouse,
somehow or other apparently have
lost their power to please. In fact,
the man is dying and the vision
of earth is slowly but unerringly
dissolving into a vaporous moth
ing.
When the quickened heartbeats
sound the knell of approaching
flight, for whom does this atten-
uated mortal yearn? Is it friends
or children or wife or mother?
These stand around the bed of
death. They are bathed in sor-
row, a grief which speaks elo-
quently of burning love. When
the physician stands gravely by,
one hand on the patients pulse,
the other grimly holding the tick
ing instrument that measures out
the last moments of the allotted
span, there is one person above all
Others who is welcomed with all
the fervor of the sinking soul.
AS the stricken mortal looks
through filmy eyes and beholds
the priest of God as he stands,
crucifix in hand, the name of
Jesus on his lips, and the words
of dissolution flowing down from
the throne of God through the
voice of His minister, such a man
then realizes as never before the
grandeur, the sublimity, the al
most almighty power Of that
priestly figure. At that dread mo-
ment friends and family avail him
little as a preparation for the last
journey: the priest and his minis
tration indicate a safe passage
across the sea Of death into the
haven Of eternal security.
Is it not worth your time and
your interest, Catholic parents, to
encourage a promising son to en-
ter that sacred state? If a human
soul be worth more than an en-
pire, what standard can measure
the value of the priest Of God.
Human comparisons and values
are inadequate. He does the work
of Christ as Christ Himself would
act were He present in human
form. In this light kings and
powers shrivel up in unimpor-
lance, for the priest is another
Christ.

A N|GHTWORKERS MASS
ANNIVERSARY OF
CUSTOM IN NEW YORK.

On Sunday, May 8, at st. Andrew
Church, New York, Mgr. Evers eele-
brated the twentieth anniversary of
the institution of what is known as
the printers and nightworkers' Mass.
Mgr. Evers, who organized the Mass,
said the first Mass on the first Sun
day of May, 1901, and practically has
celebrated the Mass every Sunday at
2:30 a. m. for the twenty years.
At first a special indult was granted
by the Pope to Mgr. Evers for ten
years to say Mass at 2 o'clock. This
ten-year permission was extended for
ten years more. Again this indult was
renewed by His Grace Archbishop
Hayes on his recent visit to the Holy
Father, and Mgr. Evers begins on the
third indult.

The following news dispatch
explains itself: Physicians of
Dublin regardless of politics have
ignored the order of the govern
ment military authorities to re-
port at once the arrival in hos
pitfalls of persons suffering from
gunshot wounds. Thus far no pro-
ceedings have been taken against
them. The order was intended to
aid the military in identifying
their attackers, many Of whom
escape though wounded. Physi-
clans resent the military mandate
because, they declare, it would re-
quire them to break faith with
their patients, thus violating a
rule of professional ethics. They
say that if the order were obeyed
many wounded persons would go
without medical attention.

Thanks to Poland, Europe was
spared the Bolshevist food during
the critical days of last summer.
This is an achievement Of such
political and cultural Importance
that it deserves to rank with the
deliverance Of Vienna-perhaps
all Europe-from the Turkish
hordes in 1853. The Bolshevist in
vasion would have made Poland
the cred path" to the West and
carried Russian radicalism into
Central Europe. After the con-
quest of Russia, Bolshevism was
supposed to have achieved it's
sway. By the resistance Of Polish
armies the advance of the "red
menace was stopped.

Encouraged by the enthusiasm with
which the Catholic Press Month, in
augurated by the Catholic Hierarchy
of the United States, was greeted, the
Catholic Truth Society of England and
Wales, under the leadership of Car
dinal Bourne, has just started a great
forward movement, which, it is hoped,
will join the whole Catholic body of
England and Wales into one strong
organization.
This nationwide campaign had it's
send-off at the annual meeting of the
Catholic Truth Society, which was
held in the Cathedral Hall at West
minister. At the present time this
society, which has done a vigorous
work and is now known all over the
world, has a membership of about
5000. The Bishop of Brentwood de-
clared there was no reason why a
membership of at least 10000 should
not be obtained,

AN IRISH FARCE
LLOYD GEORGE AGAIN PROVES
HIMSELF COMMON LlAR-UL-
sTER UNFAIR TO CATHOLICS IN
ELECTION ACTS.
(By N. C. w. C. News Service, !,

(By N. &. w. &. News Service.)
The chief objection made in public
by the Orangemen to one Parliament
for Ireland was that it would be pre-
dominantly Catholic and that Protes-
tants would not be fairly treated.
Therefore, one would expect that fair
play toward those differing from them
in religion and politics was a strong
point in the Orange creed. In the six
counties where they have majority
they have resorted to every device
to GUST Catholics from representation
and even to make it impossible for
them to record their votes.
The Orange Gerrymanders.,
Derry City, where there is a Cath
Ollie majority, is abolished as a sepa-
rate constituency and merged in the
County of Londonderry, which has a
large Protestant majority. The Coun-
ty of Tyrone, where Catholics are in
a majority, is for electoral purposes
combined with the County of Ferman-
agh. The object of this re-shuffling of
constituencies is to prevent Catholics
from securing the representation to
which, on the basis of population. they
would be entitled under any impartial
arrangement.
Strong exception is taken to the
plans made in connection with the
polling for the election of members to
the Northern Parliament" In the
constituencies of North, East, and
South Belfast, Catholics were forcibly
driven out of their homes last July.
They are afraid to return. They are,
however, voters in these areas. 1t
is proposed to erect the polling booths
in the very streets from which they
were expelled!
A committee acting on behalf of
these electors asked the Corporation
of Belfast to provide other polling
stations which Catholics could ap-
proach without fear of molestation.
This reasonable request was refused.
Lloyd Georges Promise UnfufiIed.
Premier Lloyd George promised in
the House of Commons that every pos
sible step would be taken to secure
''the free and unfettered exercise of
the franchise by all sections of the
electorate" Since he made this state
ment Sim Fem election organizers in
Antrim, Tyrone, Down and Belfast
have been arrested. The houses of
others have been raided. Election
literature has been seized. The houses
of anti-partition candidates, all Cath
olics, have also been raided. These
operations have been carried out by
special constables," men formerly en-
rolled in the volunteer army raised by
Sir Edward Carson for the purpose of
