the cathedral church of the Anglican
diocese of Manchester. This beauti-
full church, which is one of the finest
Of the preReformation buildings, was
consecrated in June, 1921, in the reign
Of Henry v, having been founded by
Sir Thomas de La Ware. parish priest
and Lord Of the Manor Of Manchester
For the building of the church the
founder gave q sum of $4,000, which
at present day valuation and consider
ing the work achieved would represent
an outlay Of close on s1,o0o,o00. But
besides building the church, Sir
Thomas de La Ware also endowed it
knights of st. columha.-The|
Knights of st. COLUMBIA, an organiza-
ton originally formed under Irish
Catholic auspices, held their annual
meeting for the Diocese Of Glasgow on
June II, in honor of the feast day Of
their patron saint. The celebration was
held in Glasgow, where large body Of
Knights assembled from all parts Of
the diocese and marched, in public
parade, from the. city square to one of
the large churches, where religious ex-
ercises were held. This order has
councils in England, chiefly in the
Province of Liverpool. The English
knights met recently in their annual
convention at Leeds, where large
class of new members was initiated
by the Provincial Grand Knight.
Sehismatics Returning to Church,
Official records testify to tho large
number of Catholics who are return
ing to the Church after having iden-
titled themselves with the schismatic
body in zecho-Slovakia within the
last two years. All such changes Of
religious afiliation must be formally
registered, so that the extent Of the
reflux to Catholic unity is now mat
ter of figures. In the diocese of Lit
omeric, where the name of Catholic
dignitary Monsignor Fbiger, was as
sociated with the promoters Of the new
sect, there was considerable drift
from the church to the schismatic
organization. But when the apostates
learned that they had been deceived
and that Monsignor Fbiger had MOI
part in the detection, they first quit
the national church and Their came
back in groups to Catholicism. Thus
far the number Of these men and wo-
men in that diocese alone has reached
43O.
