ROME'S COLISEUM LEASED
TO MOTION PICTURE FIRM

The Coliseum, the most important
existing monument of imperial Rome,
and revered in popular tradition as
the scene of the deaths of countless
martyrs, has been leased for five years
to a theatrical company and is likely
to be turned into motion picture
theater
The announcement has aroused
storm of protest from the Roman pop
ulace, who. regard the structure as a
sacred edifice, precious with the blood
of Christian victims. 1t was only last
year that the practice of celebrating
the Stations of the Cross within its
precincts was revived, a practice that
had been Instituted by Benedict XIV
at the instance of st. Leonard of Port
Maurice, and which had been contin-
ued for more than one hundred years
until 1870, when at the fall of the
temporal power, the stations were or
dered removed by Commentators
Roas.

FAMOUS MISSIONARY DEAD.
PADRE AGoSTiNO DA MoNTEFEL-
TRIO ONCE FAMOUS ORATOR,
WAS GREAT FRIEND OF Or
PHANS AND POOR.

Father Agostino da Montefeltro. the
famous franciscan missionary of Italy,
died at Pisa, April II, at the age of
eighty-two years.
Many years ago he was the most
noted preacher in Italy His sermons
were translated into English and pro-
duced profound impression.
Padre Agostino, famous pulpit ora
tor and more famous still as friend
and helper of the poor, was buried in
the orphanage church at Marina di
Pisa, where he will rest near the band
of little children in whose service he
spent the last decades of his life. He
was surrounded in his last moments
by the orphans for whom he had built
a large home.
Before becoming Franciscan
Friar, Padre Agostino was DR.. Luigi
Vicini. When he entered the Francis
can Order, after abandoning a career
as physician, he was urged to devote
himself to the big social problems of
the time. Freeing himself from the
conventionalism and artificialities
that then were common to sacred ora
tory, Padre Agostino thrilled vast con-
gregations in Pisa, Milan, Bologna, and
Rome itself. Pope Benedict XIV, then
in Bologna. was one of Padre Agosti-
nos admirers, and, it is related, often
went unobseryed into the church of
San Carlo to hear the brilliant Fran
ciscan preach.
An accident, sad as it was strange,
brought to a premature end Padre
Agostino's career as one of the most
eloquent orators in Europe By mis-
take cup of hot water into which
snuff had been infused instead of cof-
fee, was given to him one day after
he had finished sermon His rich
and powerful voice was ruined He
then turned his whole energies to the
relief of the poor.

CATHOLIC HUNGARY
PEOPLE CLING TO IDEA OF MON
ARcHY-TRADiTioNs BOUND UP
WITH HISTORY OF cATHoLIcI.
TY.


The Hungarian people tend natural
ly towards monarchy, is the opinion
of distinguished cleric who is on a
short mission in London.
Il was born in Hungary, of an an
cient Hungarian noble family, and |
speak Hungarian as my mother
tongue. But, unfortunately, i am one
of those whom the peace treaty has
robbed of their nationality, and at
the present time am what is called
a Rumanian.'
Speaking of contemporary events in
Hungary, and particularly about the
so-called coup to restore the mon
archy, this priest said:
"Most of the people and most of
the newspapers who are talking so
much about the frustrated attempt of
ex-Emperor Karl, have hardly the re-
motest idea of what they are saying.
''The Allied powers may have deter
mined never to permit the return of
the Hapsburgs; but they cannot drive
out from the hearts of the Hungarian
people the age-long affection they have
for the monarchy. The monarchy is
too much bound up with all that is
stirring and emotional in the nation
al history for the people ever to for
get it. The historic Crown of st. Ste
phen, with which the King of Hun
gary is crowned, is a symbol of the
past religious greatness of Hungary
that makes a direct appeal to the
heart of every one who has the least
glimmerings of patriotism.
ALSO, the monarch was known as
the Most Apostolic King, which lent
to his sovereignty almost a sacramen-
tai character"

A vOCAT|ONs FLAG
NEW FORM OF SERVICE FLAG
SUGGESTED FOR PARISH
CHURCHES.

AS a stimulus to vocations, and as
a recognition of the sacrifices made
by young men and young women who
have entered the priesthood and broth
erhoods and sisterhoods of the Church,
it is suggested by the magazine, Our
Missions" that religious service flags
indicating the number each parish has
given be displayed in the church and
schools. The idea is the outgrowth
of the practice during the war OF
hanging out service flags for those who
enlisted in the army or the navy.

Urges Education.
The speaker declared that educa-
ton, not limited to particular field
of endeavor, but the education which
comes from observation of men and
keen interest in the events of the
day, is the crying need of every in
dividual citizen at the present time
This is especially true of the cit
izens of a republic, every one of whom
shares the sovereignty Of the state,
and is responsible for it's good order
and progress. Every Catholic citizen
is bound to secure a large and reliable
knowledge of all the questions and
problems that call for legislation.
Many of them concern very closely
the freedom and the welfare of the
Catholic religion, for example, the ma
ture of civil authority, that is, of the
state and of the American state in
particular, the nature and origin and
end of human society, the character
and purpose of the family, the nature
and uses of education in republic, it's
relation to the moral and religious life
of the people.
Church and Society.
"On all such subjects the Catholic
citizen has a wise and reliable guide
in the teachings and the history of
the Church. The great encyclical let
ters of Leo XIII furnish abundant di-
rection on all the great questions of
civil or social Importance, civil au-
thority, the family, marriage, divorce,
education, and other questions Of great
Interest to Catholics.
THE Holy Name Society stands in
the Church for the honor and glory of
Jesus Christ, and for the great saving
truths of the gospel which draw their
force from His name and His authori-
ty. They represent the genuine Chris
tian spirit which long ago transformed
the pagan world of Greece and Rome,
asserted the equality of all men be-
fore God and proclaimed the equal
rights of all to life and liberty. No
citizens, | believe, should be more de-
voted to the public welfare, or should
concern themselves more with the
laws of the state or the republic. For
that reason, they are committed to
an active interest in education and
profound conviction of its utility.
| mean not only the school education,
but also that other and broader train
ing of the mind which comes from
contact with the daily life about us,
with the conditions and needs of our
people, with rights and duties in every
order of life, with the general welfare,
with the good order of human life,
so that there shall be always a maxi
| mum of social justice and a minimum
of social wrong Only the highest
type of citizenship is worthy of the
Divine Master. The more we become
like unto Him in all the Christian vir-
tues, the better citizens shall we be of
this great country, and the nearer
shall we bring it to the spirit of His
Holy Gospel and to the ideal of the
Christian state, with laws formed on
Justice ands Charity, and administered
| in the same spirit.

weak outside of the Catholic Church
and our citizens are easily misled- by
