GIRLS ARE BOOTDLAcKs
CATHOLIC GIRLS. SHINE SHOES TO
AID MISSIONS.
(By N. c. w. c. News service.)

by n. G.. w. G. News Service.)
Thousands of American girls can
qualify as expert bootblacks if the
sums of money that are rolling into
the headquarters of the Catholic Stu
dents, Mission Crusade from students
of Catholic high schools and colleges
who have resorted to shining shoes as
a means of helping out the mission
fund are any criterion. In scores of
academies and colleges, the shoe shine
parlor is one of the most certain
sources of missionary funds.
& St. Mary's College and Academy of
Notre Dame, Ind, has model shoe
shine shop, called the "Bengalese,
after the Bengal missions of the Con-
gregation of the Holy Cross.
Mount st. Joseph's Academy and
College of Hamilton County, Ohio, has
a beauty parlor," where hairdressing
and manicuring are carried on to help
the mission fund. In one day, accord
ing to a letter from Miss Dorothy I'M
bus, the proceeds of this parlor
amounted to fifty dollars-enough to
save ten destitute children.

DEVASTATED CHURCHES
REPORT ON RESTORATION WORK
ALREADY ACCOMPLISHED IN
NORTHERN FRANCE.
(By N. C. w. C. News Service. ]

(By N. C. w. C. News Service.) =
Reports submitted to the last gen.
eral meetingtof the Committee for the
Reconstruction of Devastated Church
es indicate that much has been done
toward the restoration of Catholic
worship in. the battle-wrecked regions
of France. Already the expenditure
of 100000 francs-2,000,000 francs of
which was due to American generosity
has succeeded in alternating the con-
dition of priests and in providing for
the religious needs of the inhabitants
of that territory. 5
The statement to the Committee
showed that 2,462 parishes have bene-
fitted by the funds thus far applied.
Eight hundred temporary churches
have been erected and $4,000 vest
ments, 5000 sacred vessels-chalices,
ciboriums, etc.-S,000 pieces of altar
cloth and altar linen, and 1,410 priests
outfits have been distributed.
1t was made plain that notwithstand-
ing the great work that has been ac-
.complished the task is yet hardly be-
gun. There are still 1898 churches to
be restored, and 1856 are in need of
assistance. Through the efforts of
German Bishops many sacred vessels,
vestments and other articles of litur-
gical equipment, which were taken
away by German troops are being res
turned, but very often these arrive. in
condition which makes them useless
or incapable of identification. What
seems most to be needed, the com
mittee learned, is a supply of amices,
corporals, abs, surplices and vesture

brother" in itself, as used in connec-
ton with ST. James and Our Lord, fur
nishes no certain indication of the ex-
act relationship. But when we realize
that this James was the brother of Jo-
seph and Jude, as is proved from var
ious parts of the New Testament, we
can very readily show that the term
was here used for cousin. We know
that the father and mother of James,
the Less, and Joseph and Jude, were
Alpheus or Cleopas and Mary of Cleo
pas, the sister of Mary, the Mother of
Jesus. We know, too, that the mother
and father of ST. James, the Greater,
were Zebedee and Salome. So that
there can be no room for doubt in the
minds of any that Mary, the Virgin
Mother of Jesus, is not the same Mary
as Mary the wife of Cleopas, nor is she
the same as Salome, the wife of Ze-
bedee These two latter women were
the mothers of James, the Less, and
James, the Greater. respectively.
A very good article on both these
Apostles, and also on 'the brethren of
the Lord" may be found in the Catho-
lie Encyclopedia, Vols. II. and VIII.

1t is hoped that it in the second
semester a great many ex-service men
remembering that everything is abso-
lutely free to them, and who perhaps
have not yet become acquainted with
the work that the Knights are doing
will take advantage of this wonderful
opportunity to further their education.
In time when there is such slack
ness of work, it certainly will be an
advantage to man to take every
advantage of the educational opportun-
ties offered to him. -.
The same subjects will be offered
the second semester, and if a class
of twenty men shall elect any other
subject than the ones provided on the
program, classes will be opened for
them if it is within the power of the
school to do SO.
The tuition fee for those who are
not ex-sevice men is reasonable, and
full information can be had by coming
in any afternoon or evening to the Of
flee at 166 West Sixth street.
The school has a faculty of thirty
men, each a specialist in his own sub
ject, and each more than willing to do
his share to help each student that at
tends this school. 1t is the established
custom of the school to be of personal
service and personal interest.

BISHOP ON. WNcEAIIANs'

Right Rev. DR.. Byrne, the new Aux
iliary Bishop of Dublin, is already TAX
ing an active part in social and edu-
cational work. This winter the So
ciety of st. Vincent de Paul is max
ing unwonted Fexertions to mitigate
existing and apprehended distress. DR..
Byrne has i thrown himself whole
heartedly into the work; and at the
general meeting of the society he de-
livered an address which has created
a profound impression. n
1t was denunciation of selfishness,
in which all sin was rooted, and an
appeal to young men to put the ideal
of self-sacrifice before them.
eff in the place of selfishness,' said
the Bishop, 'you are able to inject
self-sacrifice into young mans
heart, you have saved man for
Christ. The Society of st. Vincent de
Paul puts the young man on the road
to Calvary. And as the Lord passes
by he has the towel in his hands to
wipe the blood from the Savior's bleed
ing face. And the -parched lips of the
Lord touch the cooling draught OF
water that the young man has pro
vided The youth lifts the thorny
crown from the Head of the Master
and lightens for little the load OF
the Man of Sorrows" 4za
Their work III the Society, he said
was one of the greatest means on
earth, perhaps, of sanctifying their
souls and bringing them to great
heights of holiness. The Society was far
more sympathetic and helpful than any
state organization. It might be looked
upon as channel by which the money
of the wellto-do passed into the hands
of the deserving poor without any OF
those huge administrative expenses
that were always, like hungry drag
ons by the wayside, ready to destroy
and suck the life-blood of so many
ameliorative plans for the betterment
of the poor. $685. -.

[. FL
Cardinal Gibbons has proposed a
memorial to Babe Ruth, champion
home run hitter, instead of accepting
a similar honor himself. In letter
read January 9 at a meeting of the
supreme board of directors of the
Knights .of Columbus in New York,
the Cardinal urged that st. Mary's In
dustrial School of Baltimore, which
Ruth once attended and which recent
ly was destroyed by fire, be replaced
by the Ruth School for Dependent and

of the institution, informed the direc-
tors that the citizens Of Baltimore had
proposed to erect new cathedral in
honor OF the Cardinal but that he sug-
gested their efforts be diverted to re-
building the school. q

(By N. C. w. C. News Service.)
Although the new state of Lebanon,
proclaimed last September, owes it's
creation, in large part, to the efforts
of the Maronite Patriarch and his
clergy, some political elements are at
tempting to bring the people to sup
port anti-clerical parties and policies.
DIR. Hassan Assir, a former follower
of Emir Feisal, who resisted French
suzerainty in Syria, has induced the
so-cailed Democratic party to issue a

RELATION OF PARTICULAR CON.
FERENcES ST. VINCENT De
PAuLysocIETY TO BUREAU OF
CHARITIES - HARMONY WITH
PARTICULAR COUNCIL. :,

At recent Catholic Charities Con-
yention in Washington, Father Gressle
of Cincinnati read an excellent paper
of which the following is an excerpts:
The apostle of modern organized
charity is the patron saint of one of
the best regulated volunteer. relief or
CARNATIONS in the world, st. Vincent
de Paul From his biography and
writings we CLEAN that nearly all the
schemes of our highly praised mod
ern secular philanthropy had been
successfully used and had practically
accomplished all that the modern So
cial workers! claim. The great diff
ference between the charity work of
the humble and sanity Cure of Cha
tillon, and our richly endowed phil
anthropic foundations is this, that St:
Vincent kept suppermost the spiritual
welfare of his charity clients. Mod
ern philanthropists seek only to pro-
vide for the corporal needs and for
get to consider the welfare of the
soul. F' s'.s a"' f'.t1.,
Catholic charity must be just as
scientific as our modern philanthropy.
We consecrate our charity work to
God, and surely we desire to offer to
Him the highest type of work and
the most scientifically managed char
tiles. 1t would be foolhardy to sup
pose that we can do real scientific
work without organization. We have
proofs sufficient that without the
proper correlation of our work, with
out system and method our works, of
charity will fail to function to their
fullest capacity Charity systematized
and scientifically managed keeping in
the foreground always a supernatural
motive is charity charged with the
spirit of Christ" &' }#
A Central Bureau.
Men imbued with the spirit of st.
Vincent de Paul have advocated for
the past twenty years a Central Office
or Bureau of Catholic Charities. A
| clearing house of charities is an i'm
perative need in every large city. In
several dioceses the MEDICATION of such
bureaus was due directly to the in.
fuence and encouragement of Jealous
Vineentians.
The relation of Particular Councils
and individual conferences of the ST.

trail Bureau may best be explained

VINCENTIAN COOPERATION

vide for the Catholic poor. His Grace,
most ardent Vincentian, relied upon
his st. Vincent de Paul Society to
give the necessary relief to all cases
reported to him. 1t requires no
stretch of imagination to realize how
quickly the President of the Particu-
lar Council and the Secretary to His
Grace were overwhelmed in trying to
handle the relief for the Catholic poor
of our city. 1t frequently happened
that several, days or week would
elapse after a case was reported, be-
fore it received any attention Again
there was much duplication, several
conferences helping the same famil-
les. His Grace saw at once the neces-
sity of handling the entire problem Of
relief in an efficient manner or discon-
tinuing it entirely. His instructions to
his newly appointed Director of Char
tiles were to open an Office for the
st. Vincent de Paul Society so that it's
work might be centralized, duplica-
ton avoided and to root out the I'M
deserving and INSCRIPTIONS among
those asking for relief. Gradually the
members exemplified the true spirit

In Cincinnati the relief of the Cath
Ollie poor is given over to the st. Vim

of Charities has insisted at every
meeting of the executive of the vari-
GUS non-Catholic- social agencies that
the Catholic poor will be given the
necessary relief through the Bureau.
Only those cases are handled at the
! Central Office which individual con-
| ferences refuse to adopt. When re-
| lief case is reported at the central
Office it is investigated by one of the
| social workers.. short synopsis is
! made and turned over to the Parish

give emergency relief; the worker fol-
| lows the case until the conference is
active; thus we have won the COM
