REPUBLIC OF EsTHOnIA
RECOGNITION OF NEW STATE
MADE BY HOLY SEE.

Among the states that rose to indie
pendent existence after the decline
OF the Russian Empire. was Esthonia,
the region which comprises the terri
tory bounded on the north by the Gulf
OF Finland and on the west by the Bal
tic Coast, and which is inhabited by
people absolutely distinct in race, lam
guage and customs from the Russians.
Esthonia is the natural highway to
Russia and Petrograd The port of
Reveal is the capital
Esthonia has: nearly three million
inhabitants, the great majority of
whom are Protestants. Those of the
Orthodox religion are less numerous,
and still fewer are the Catholics, who
are chiefly of Polish origin. Esthonia,
in 1919, while asking the Powers to
recognize it as an autonomous and
independent state, also made the same
request of the Holy See The latter
received the request with pleasure
and by the note. of the eleventh Of
April, 1919. recognized Esthonia, as a,
state in the same terms used by the
other Powers. 9s

Pope OPENS ORPHANAGE
HOLY FATHER EXTENDS SoLlCI-
TUBE TO ORPHANED Chill
DREN OF MEsoPoTAMiA.

The latest act of the Holy Father
which shows his loving solicitude for
his suffering children is recounted in
connection with the poor little chill
dren OF Mesopotamia, who are the in
nocent victims of the brutality of
the barharic Mussulmans. The Holy
Father has provided for the opening
OF an orphanage, which shall serve as
protectory for the little ones ex-
posed to such fearful horrors
1t is the object of the barbarians so
far as possible to drive religion out
of the land, and when they are un-
able to obtain the remuneration of
Jesus Christ by the Christians, they
seek most violent and horrible means
to effect their ignominious ends. : s-
pecially have they vented upon the
orphaned children the brunt OF their
fury. 1t is to obyiate this plague that
Benedict XIV has sanctioned and pro-
vided for the new orphanage.
Recently Mgr Smetz, Apostolic Wis
itor of Mesopotamia, superintendent
the formal opening of the new or
phanage. The good Tertiaries of st.
Dominic have undertaken it's charge,
and will see that the proper care is
taken of these tender souls as we'll as
of the delicate bodies, already impov-
erished by want and disease.

TOUCHING F0CH INCIDENT
BLIND SOLDIER BRINGS TEARS
TO GRIzZLED WARRIOR.

At the state banquet, held in Bos.
ton last week, in honor OF Marshal
Foch, at which were present the gov.
errors of Massachusetts, Rhode Is
land and Connecticut, there was an in.
cident, altogether unexpected and not
on the program, that brought hush
to- the vast assemblage.
Down the broad stairs leading into
the mirrored hall, came priest, lead
a blind man. The priest was Rev.
Louis Deyeyer The blind man was
Lieut.. Guy Euvin of the Tooth French
Infantry, blinded in the war, and now
studying in Boston.
The mu1mer of talk, the laughter
the music, was all hushed, and every
person present stood, as the two men
made their way slowly across the hall.
Edwin wished to speak q, few words to
his old commander.
= For five minutes, Foch held the
young mans hand and talked to him
AS the blinded soldier finally was led
away, there was an outburst of an
plause
F'och sal down and passed hand
over his face.
Tears had found their way into the
eyes of the grim warrior.

SCHOOLS IN SCOTLAND
CHURCH ENJOYS GRADUAL
GROWTH-REVlEW SHOWS :23o
CATHOLIC SCHOOLS in SCOT
LAND IN 1926.

Public education and Catholic edu-
cation in Scotland are reviewed in
circular issued by the department of
Education of the National Catholic
Welfare Council
The circular shows that with
Catholic population OF $4,000. Scot
land maintained in 1920 more than
$50 Catholic schools, including 213
elementary schools, II intermediate, 2
secondary and teachers training
schools. There are also two ecclesi-
astical colleges.
1T is safe to say" declares the cir
cular, that the establishment or the
keeping of schools of some kind began
with the settlement of COLUMBIA in
Iona in 500. AS the faith spread,
schools became more numerous. The
chief object of these abbey, cathedral
and religious schools was to teach
morality and religion, and to serve as
preparatory means toward the priest
hood. EARLY in the XIIIth century we
find a common and useful type of
school, and one that survived the Ref
ormation, known as the sang
school, in which there were taught
manners and vertew'' besides music
and singing. Throughout the middle
ages, popes and kings, bishops and
abbots, noblemen and town councils
at various times founded and support
ed schools Of diverse description At
the end of the fifteenth century, Scot,
land had three universities; ST. An
drew's, 1411, Glasgow, 1440, and Aber-
deem, 1894. Schools were entirely
controlled by the Church before gram
mar and burgh schools came into ex-
#istence. The early grammar schools
were wholly under Church supervi-
sion''
The circular points out how the so
called Reformation caused Catholic
education to disappear In 1910 teach
ers and parents were required to con,
form, and in 1889 all Catholics were
excluded from Office. The penal stat
ute OF 100 barred, "Papists" from
schoolmastership. In 1910, the number
OF Catholics was reduced to $4,000
and later it dwindled to about 1000.
The repeal of the code and the Cath
Ollie emancipation act of 1929 stimula-
ted slow revival of the faith, while
Irish immigration, and the re-erection
OF the hierarchy in 1878, brought about
accelerated growth.

MASS IN COLISEUM
PLACE WHERE MARTYRS SUFFER
ED DEATH IN ROME SAID TO
BE A PUBLIC CHURCH.

The question whether the Coliseum,
that ancient monument. of imperial
Rome, Where the Christian martyrs
suffered death and men fought wild
beasts to. make Roman holiday, is a
public chIrch has again been raised
and decided, it seems from a dispatch
current in secular press circles A
proclamation declares that the famous
building is a public church.
The point was raised recently when
the Roman police. prohibited the delet
gates to convention of the Italian
Catholic Young Mems association
from congregating in the Coliseum
and holding a parade from that point
to the Vatican.
From 1856 to 1870, Masses have
been sung regularly in the Coliseum,
but when Victor Emmanuel II took
possession OF Rome in 1870 the prac-
tice was discontinued
During the war, the custom of hold
ing religious services in the Coliseum
was again revived. After the war, a
Requiem Mass for the soldiers who
died in the great war was held there.

Why is it that some Catholics are
given permission to marry non-catlfo-
lies, and others are refused the same
permission?
We have frequently stated that the
granting or refusing of a dispensation
for mixed marriage rests upon the
conscience of the Bishop of the do
cese. The law of the Church strictly
forbids such marriages. But the
Church deals with realities and knows
that the perfection of the law cannot
always be realized; it must consider
the frailties and imperfections of the
children of men. The Pope cannot be
expected to give personal attention
TO each individual case; he delegates
the Bishops to Judge of each applica>
ton The Bishop cannot arbitrarily
determine that he will grant all appli-
cations or refuse all; each case rests
legged in one case may be stronger
than those of another, and the Bishop
must judge accordingly. 1t reflects
no credit on a Catholic that the Bish-
op grants dispensati6m for a. mixed
marriage; as Il rule, quite the con-
traly is true. A little sober reflection
and little exercise of, your Catholic
faith will disabuse you of any dis
gust you may have, experienced in
this regard.
Is there any obligation to join :
Catholic society?
There is no: real obligation to do so.
But you have very little of the Cath
Ollie spirit if you confine yourself to
those things that are of strict obi.
cation. The Church blesses Catholic
societies and urges Catholic men and
women 10 affiliate with them. This
is especially true, in the case of real

Catholic societies, organizations whose
purpose is essentially religious or spir-
itual; such as the Holy Name Society,"
the Rosary Confraternity. the Sodal.
ity of the Blessed Virgin, etc, No
man lives for himself alone, and no
one is a Catholic for himself alone;
he has a duty to society and to the
Church. He should be interested in
the spread of Catholic faith and de-
votion, in the strengthening of Cath
Ollie piety, and in the conversion of
sinners. These are external indica-
tons that we have true Catholic
faith. Every Catholic should be en-
rolled in the societies of his parish,
and should. moreover, be an active
member of some Catholic fraternal
organization
Dc the laws of fast and abstinence
change from year to year?
The laws of fast and abstinence
are made by the Church, and they can
be changed by her, if she sees fit. If
any changes are made, they are eX-
planned in the churches at the read
ing of the Lenten regulations; and
seldom are they more than minor
changes.
Are Catholics supposed to publish
the bans of marriage three times in
the Church, providing they have been
members of the congregation for some
years?
Ordinarily, the banns of Catholic
parties desiring to contract the mar
riage bond must be published three
times consecutively in the parish
church of which they are members
For grave reasons, however, permits
sion TO dispense with their publication
may be received from the Bishop
through the parish priest.

FOUR TIMES BY POPE BENE-1
DICT XIV

Born in thought of faith, at the
beginning OF the Great War, in re-
Spouse to an appeal issued by Pope
Benedict XIV, July 80, 1916. to the
"all-powerful supplications of the lit
tie ones" the Children,s Eucharfstic
Crusade has in few years reached
a wonderful development. From a few
crusaders the membership has ad.
vanced until today it reaches 100000.
expanded throughout the entire world.
especially in Belgium. Mexico, Italy,
Switzerland and Syria.
1t was at Bordeaux, in the early
part of the year 1914, that the Crusade
was born in the form which it has
since developed. His Eminence Car
dinal Andrieu in letter dated April
20, 1916, gave it "a first official con.
secratipn Then after it had been
ops throughout the, entire world, il
was finally approved by the Holy
Father four times. Among these ap.
probations the most touching is the
allocution made to the Crusaders who
journeyed to Rome on March 20, 1921.
The Holy Father then said:
THE heart of child is always
good soil and we'll prepared. 1t con-
tairs neither weeds nor thorns which
might choke the good seed in it's de-
peiopment. We Ourselves turn to the
children in order to appease the anger
of God -,
More recently still, in a letter of
August s., 1921, the, Pope deigned to
write to the untiring director and or.
%aniZef Of the Crusade, Pere Albert
Bessieres, these beautiful words:
