RELICS OF THE CID
6URGOS IN SPAIN CELEBRATES
SEVENTH CENTENARY OF FA-
NOUS OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
OF SPANISH GREATNESS cLus-
TER AROUND BURIAL PLACE OF
ROYALTY.

For fifteen days the old city of
Burgos, the ancient capital of Castillo,
celebrated with unusual splendor the
seven hundredth anniversary of the
foundation of its famous cathedral, the
finest example of Spanish ogival art,
even excelling the famous cathedrals
OF Toledo and Leon.
Seven hundred years ago, on july
70, 1921, the cornerstone of the Cathe-
dral of Burgos was laid by the King
Saint Ferdinand, third of the name
in Castillo. He was one of the great
est kings of Spain, who not only won
kingdoms from the enemies of Christ.
but chose the sites of the great
temples of peace erected as thanks
giving to God for the great victories
over the Moors. The Cathedral of
Toledo, another marvel of Catholic art,
also was founded by him.
The Cathedral of Burgos is so close
ly associated with the history of Spain
that the purely religious festivities be-
came the occasions for great demon
strat1ons of patriotism, as we'll as of
religious fervor. 1.
To the many treasures of saintliness
and heroism accumulated during seven
centuries in this jewel of Christian
architecture, there has now been ad-
ded a relic of the Holy King, who is
buried in the Cathedral of Seville, con-
quered by him from the Moors, and
the remains of the Cid, the most IA
nous of Spanish heroes; he whose
deeds and virtues have inspired many
of the masters of art and literature
and have made him the ideal of a
Christian knight
Spain has always considered the Cid
as her national hero, and, in trans
ferring his ashes to the greatest
temple of the nation, the Spanish
Church, gives proof of the high esteem
in which she holds the virtues of the
great warrior who, like all good
Spaniards, professed the greatest
devotion to the Blessed Virgin, to
whom he often prayed in the ancient
church of Our Lady of Burgos. 1t is
over, this old church that the new
Cathedral was built from 1921 to 1880.

INDIANS AND OIL
CANADIAN COMMISSION TO PEN
ETRATE NORTHEASTERN BREY-
NAT WILL TREAT WITHINDIANs
FOR OIL LANDS,

Everybody knows that valuable oil
wells have been opened by the Cana
dian Government in the region bor-
dering the Arctic Circle. In this ter
ritory the native population consists
of Indians and probably some Eski-
mos, the Indians being the more
numerous. Now the government
wants the land, which in size is about
five times larger than France, and it
becomes a question of treating with
the Indians.
The Canadian Government has
therefore asked that Bishop Breynat,
vicar apostolic OF Mackenzie, be made
one of the commission appointed to
deal with the Indians, and it is safe
to say that he will be the most impor-
tant member on that commission.
The proposition is that the Indians
will cede their lands and engage not
to molest the white men of the Oil
fields. The government is to allow
them to hunt and fish as formerly
and will bestow a yearly allowance in
money and kind. In case of famine
the Indians are to be cared for in the
forts and mission posts.
This new activity in the North is
going to change the aspect of mission
work altogether, and the touch of
civilization, the money and kind
will probably not help to increase the
flock of the Oblate missionaries. But
thoir roinict ra tionc in kooninO nooco
will be of inestimable value.

ROMAN ANNIVERSARIES
ARRANGE PROGRAMS FOR CEN
TENARIES OF TWO SAINTS.

On March %, 1922, will fall the third
centenary of the Canonization of ST.
Philip Neri. A committee formed at
Santa Maria, in Vallicella, the "chiesa
nIova' built in Rome by the Saint and
where his remains rest, has drawn up
a program of festivities which has
been submitted to the Holy Father and
approved by him in an autograph letter
of blessing and congratulation ad-
dressed to Father David Viola, the
Superior of the Roman Oratory. There
will be promised grand functions
various publications, musical compost
tions, pilgrimages to "the seven
churches" and the much-needed en-
bellishment of the Saints altar and
tomb. The same Pontiff, Gregory XIV,
at that same time raised to the affairs,
besides st. Philip, other great Saints:
st. Ignatius Loyola, ST. Francis Xavier,
st. Isidore, and ST. Teresa of Jesus.
The Carmelites are preparing to cele-
brate this centenary of st. Teresa with

! A Catholic and an unbaptized per-
son were married and then divorced.
Is it possible for the Catholic to marry
again in the Church?
If the first marriage were valid, that
is, if there were no impediment that
had not been removed by dispense.
ton, then it is unlawful for the CathO-
lie to marry again during the life of
the other party. In particular cases
there are so many circumstances that
do not appear on the surface that it is
rash to judge without full and com,
rlete knowledge Of the conditions
Some people are delighted to make use
of such cases as choice morsels for
gossip: better talk of something they
really understand.
Why was st. Joseph called the foster
father Of Christ instead of His father?
For the reason that Our Lord was
conceived of the Virgin Mary by the
action of the Holy Ghost and not
through the act of an earthly father.
May Catholic girl marry Protes

In some cases she can, while again
she may have extreme difficulty in
practicing her religion. A Catholic
girl who marries outside her Church
| usually has a hard time from a relig-
ious standpoint, and she always takes
a serious chance. When the ardor OF

their divergent beliefs; hence, as a

Was Our Lord born after the flood

He was born long time after the
flood.
Who was St. Anne and when is her
feast?
| ST. Anne was the wife of st
Joachim, and they were the parents OF
the Blessed Virgin. The feast of St
Anne is commemorated on July 26.
Is it wrong to read books of mesmer
ism and magic, and to perform slight
of-hand tricks?
1t is not wrong in itself, although
there are books on so-called black
magic and kindred subjects that should
not be read by ordinary persons, as
! these works often prove a source OF
doubt in,matters of faith.

A CHINESE nun

A pathetic Missionary Jubilee has
recently been feted in the Hangchow
Mission, China, when the Chinese nun,
Sister Marie Scholastica Ting, the
Sister of Fathers Luke and Leo Ting,
the Chinese Lazarists, kept the twenty
fifth anniversary of her religious pro-
fession. The jubilarian's aged mother
journeyed to her daughters Mission at
Haimen to give her good wishes in
person. Sister Marie Ting belongs to
the congregation of Virgins of Purga-

Bishop O,Dea of Seattle, Wash, will
commemorate his episcopal silver
jubilee. When he was consecrated
civilization was just winning a foot
hold in the farthest West The newly
consecrated Bishop had within his

appalling in the face of the greatest

difficult pioneer work among the
Indians. The Jesuits in 1929 took up
their abode in Florissant, where they
opened up an Indian seminary. The
following year, 1924, they consented to
assume the work of education, but the
final transfer of the college into their
care was not made until 1927.
The first permanent settlement in
Missouri of which there is any record
is Ste. Genevieve, established about
1874, and the documents in the Catholic
church there are among the oldest
preserved in the state. In the same
year a mission was founded in Old
Mines, both places being attended by
priests from Cahokia, Ill.

CATHOLICS OF PIONEER DAYS.
STATES 1ooTH ANNIVERSARY
PAGEANT SHOWS MlsSioNERs'
WoRK-MARouETTE, JOLIET
6Nb Ia SALE AMONG EARLY
CATHOLIC HEADERS.

Missouri is so rich in Catholic
traditions and SO full of names and
places dear to Catholic hearts that the
celebration of the one hundredth an
niversary of the states admission TO
the Union, recently held at Sedalla,
has revived great interest in the
Catholic history of the commonwealth.
The Pageant of Missouri, which is
the most imposing feature OF the
exposition exercises, which started
August 8 and continued until
August 20, does full justice to the ef-
forts made by heroic missionaries who
first brought Christianity to this sec
ton. Marquette, Joliet and La Sale
are depicted in the opening scene
carrying the gospel to the Usage
Indians, and Pierre La Clede, founder
of st. Louis and a Catholic, is shown
taking a conspicuous place in the
pageant Alexander McNair, first
governor of Missouri and also Catho-
lie. is featured on the official program.
But the history of Catholicity in this
central commonwealth of the Union
goes back to a period even more re-
mote than that of Marquette, for
there is evidence that the cross was
planted among the Indians during the
first half of the sixteenth century by
De Soto, who was buried in the waters
of the Mississippi in May, 1912.
1t is significant that st. Louis Uni
versity, probably the Oldest university
west of the Mississippi, was founded
as st. Louis Academy three years be-
fore the admission of the State into
the Union on August 10, 1821-an act
that brought about the famous Mis-
souri, Compromise. Bishop Du Bourg,
it's founder, who changed it's name to
st. Louis College in 1920, had at first
placed the secular clergy in charge OF
the instruction, but the ecclesiastical
duties of the priests were so onerous
that it was difficult for them to do full
Justice to their PROFESSIONAL affairs.
In consequence, Bishop Du Bourg, who
had jurisdiction over Louisiana and
the Floridas and who had been presi-
dent of Georgetown College endeavored
for several years to secure the Jesults
as instructors. He was unsuccessful
until his visit to President Monroe
and Secretary of War John G. Calhoun
in 1923 to discuss Indian affairs. Mr..
Calhoun suggested that he invite the
Maryland Jesuits to undertake the

Could Catholic girl be married to
a non-catholic in the parish house by
the priest, for no reason other than
that the man would not become a
Catholic because he could not under
stand and believe in it?
The question is not where the mar
riage could take place, but whether
dispensation could be granted for
the marriage If there is no other
reason than that the man could not
see his way clear to join the Church,
the dispensation could not be granted.
A dispensation is an injury to the law
fthe Church, and there must be grave
reasons for the granting OF the dis
pensation. The reason you allege is
no reason at ALL The chances are
that there were other grave reasons
of which you were not aware. AS to
the place of the ceremony of mixed
marriage, the laws of the Church
state that such a marriage may not
take place in the Church nor be ac-
companied with religious ceremonies.
Whether the marriage takes place in
the parishhouse or elsewhere is left
to the judgment of the pastor.
Is it a mortal sin to attend burles-
que shows?
There was a time when indecent
burlesQue shows were confined to
few well-known theatres, and when a
of shame
he felt guilty in going to those
theatres. At the present time, some
of the most indecent shows have been
staged in theatres that had previous,
ly borne good regulations. In answer
to your question, one can merely give
the general principle: 1t is sin to
attend any show that is Indecent
whether it comes under the name OF
burlesuue or not If one knows that
the show is indecent, his guilt is
enhanced and, as it were, anticipated
for he attends with the intention and
for the purpose of witnessing a sinful
performance.
Is it possible for me to become
Catholic? am a Protestant, but
was never baptized, and am no"
married to a divorced Catholic?
Anyone may become a Catholic
who believes that the Cathohe
Church is the one Church established
by Jesus Christ, and is willing tc con
form to the laws of the Church. 1t Is
evident that you cannot in conscience
become a Catholic unless you accep'
the Catholic teaching on the sublec'
of divorce; if you accept that teach
ing, you cannot in conscience con
tinue to live with divorced person
one to whom you are not Valldl9
married. The question hinges on the
first marriage of the divorced Catho
lie with whom you are now living
and in that regard we must refer yot
to the pastor of the church you nave
been attending. Your present duty
is to pray that God may grant yo'
the strength to follow the taitE He
has granted to you no matter wha
NAV be the consequences. .
