and care necessary for IFS individual

ton of Miss Helen Wolf, assistant to
Mrs. G.. F. Glimm, director of postural

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
TO AMERICAN RELATIVES OF
IRISH MARTYRS.
420 Southern Building, Washington,
D. G.

To the Editor:
AS Counsel for the Republic of Ire
land, l am anxious to secure at the
earliest possible moment complete
list of all American citizens who have
relatives in Ireland who have been
murdered, wounded, or imprisoned by
the. British forces, as basis for the
strongest possible protest. therefore
ask that you will be good enough to
insert in your publication, in as prom
inent position as possible, the fol-
lowing statement:
In order that the most effective pos
sible protest should be made ito the
American government with regard to-
the criminal acts of terrorism COM
mitted by the British forces in Ire
land, it is of the greatest Importance
to secure Immediately the names of all
persons in the United States who have
relatives who have been murdered,
wounded, or imprisoned, by the British
forces in Ireland, or whose property
has been destroyed by the British
forces.
1t is peculiarly appropriate that
such Americans who have direct per-
sonal interest in the results of British
atrocities in Ireland should voice their
protest to the President of the United
States and to Congress. 1t is there
fore requested that all who have rela-
tfves who have been victims of Brit
ish barbarism, or who have suffered
destruction of property, or who know
of such persons, should communicate
with me at once, giving names and ad.
dresses and brief statement of the
circumstances under which loss of rel
atives or property was suffered

GERMAN LUTHERANS
ALARMED BY CATHOLIC GAINS
SOME OF THEIR LEADING WRIT
ERs DIAGNOSE CAUSE OF DE-
FECTIoNs.
(By N. C. w. C. News service.)

(By N. G. W. C. News Service.)
Numerous conversions from the
Evangelical to the Catholic Church
have prompted Lutheran intellectuals
to speculate on the causes of this de.
lection and to propose reunions with
Rome. Some of the biggest figures
in the Lutheran communion have join.
ed in this attempt to diagnose the dis
ease which has thus stricken German
Professionalism.
Eugene Diedrichs, a well known
writer, and Theodore Hacker. a
prominent Evangelical of South Ger
many, have contributed to the sympo-
tsium OF. explanations and proposals.
Mr.. Diedrichsifwrites:
'""The question in dispute is this: Is
this decay (of Lutheranism) merely
the result of the war and the revolu-
ton, or had it already begun"
Then he gives a startling answer to
the question. He says:
1T has existed for four hundred
years; it arose during the Renaissance
and began with Professionalism, but it
has been fastened by recent events"
Theodore Hacker is not less hard
on this religious system He writes:
"The official, published Protestant
theology is a misery and disgrace.
1t no longer knows its object or any,
thing about it. 1t no longer has a spir-
itual language, and it speaks of hum
dred thousand subjects, but not
word of what concerns ITSELF The Of
fetal Protestant church is certainly
not the kingdom of God. Moreover, it
has not a single dogma which it be-
lieves with mistaken faith or which
remains unchanging. This is what it
calls development, progress. while in
reality it means dissolution"
Speaking of the Pope, Mr.. Hacker
says:
81 would be the last to fail to hon
or the one power from which comes
a ray of mercy, like heavenly sun:
set over sinking Europe

THE MOTHER OF GOD
FULFlLLMENT OF vow SEEN IN
DEDICATION OF MICHIGAN
CHURCH.
(By N. c. w. C. News Service, J

NY IN. ". w. ". news Service.
Our Lady of Sorrows Church, Grand
Rapids, Mich, recently built for an
Italian congregation and opened last
Sunday, when the first Mass was said
within it's walls, is regarded by Cath
olics of that city as the fulfillment of
vow made more than twenty years
ago by it's pastor, Rev. Father Saliva
tore Cianci. This was promise, that
if his father, who was at the point of
death and seemingly beyond hope
were spared by God, the son, then u
seminarian in Rome would devote his
life to the service of religion, admins
ter to the sick and especially foster q
devotion to the Blessed Virgin.
Father Cianci's father recovered
and lived thirteen years longer to the
amazement of his physicians, who at
the time had thought his death a mat
ter of hours.
The handsome new church dedicat-
ed by Right Rev. Edward d. Kelly, is
the result of twelve years of work by
Father Cianci among his people in that
city, and represents the generosity of
a poor congregation.

Gods Country. By James Oliver Cur
wood. Published by Cosmopolitan
Book Corporation, N. Y. Price ST.
25.
This is strange work by a noted
author. Mr.. Curwood is one of the
leading novelists of the country. He
writes big stories about big, strong
appeal to the strong and the clean. In
the present work, however, Mr.. Cur
wood endeavors to give us "a taste of
religion. Like so many of our great
men at the present day, he is devoid
of all belief in creeds or positive re-
ligion He admires sssthe Catholic
Church which he thinks is the only
church which is growing to any ex-
tent. The reason for this he states
is because it is the only church which
is holding out it's arms and giving a
human being a breast upon which to
lay his head when he is in trouble"
Yet he at once disclaims all belief in
creeds.
Mature is my religion" says Mr.
Curwood. With this text he proceeds
to unfold his views on God and Life.
TO him, once great hunter OF big
game, has come vision. He now de-
plores his former tendency to kill, and
he claims kinship with the beast and
the bird, the smiling flower and the
lifting stream-all things are instinct
with Life, and they speak to him OF
God and peace and happiness. 1t is
the old story of Naturalism presented
in a new form by an able. writer and
man evidently in deadly earnest
with himself and his theme Through
out the work, however, positive relig,
| ion and revelation are shattered by
| the naturalistic trend of the author
and one lays down the book with a
feeling of having communed pleasant
ly with Nature while the God of Ma.
ture was entirely absent from the
! scene. Gould the author realize that
Christ is God, and not merely good
| man and a great teacher of his times
the effect of his book would be Inn
measurably intensified. 1t is a pity
that sterling character like James
/ Oliver Curwood has missed the su
4 preme content that rises above his Ma
| ture-worship and is found only In
full belief. in God and His Christ.

GERMAN WORKMEN
CHRISTIAN TRADES UNIONS IN
GERMANY SHOW GREAT
GAINS.
(By N. G. w. C. News Service

10y Az ". w. ~. 4NOWO oCl NlCC.J
Remarkable increases in the mem
bership and profits of the Christian
Trades Unions of Germany are shown
in their report for 1919. The number
of members has risen from 538,559 to
1,000,770, and a more recent report
doubtless would show that the total
is above 100000. The report for 1920
has not yet appeared.
While the membership of the free
trades unions has also, increased, their
growth has been superficial. They
were composed mostly of heterogene-
Gus elements who sought to use the
influence gained to further their in
dividual interests. AS a consequence
their organizations are rapidly shrink
ing, and reports from Munich and
Nurnberg and many other centers dis
close that members are resigning from
the free unions to join the Christian
Trades Unions.
