If Christmas were to come and go without leaving with us pincush- ions, pin-holders, garters and other pretty furbelows made of ribbon, 1t would be remembered with something of disappointment. A heart-shaped pincushion, small bag for holding pins and pair of ribbon-covered garters represent few of many rib bon novelties for the holidays.

The "Trial Marriage" system
exists in America today, in prac.
tice, at least, if not. theoretically
according to Judge Brough of the
Common Pleas Court Of Toledo
Ohio. He blames the looseness OF
modern divorce laws for the
existence of this condition
Every now andlthen we hear OF
some short-haired woman or some
long-haired man coming to the
front advocating trial mar
riages, " the Judge said. Gun.
der our present laws all Of our
marriages amount to nothing
more than trial marriages. In
many eases marriage is not re-
garded as sacred. 1t is from such
eases that we receive the majority
of petitions. The record of the
court will show that the trial mar
riage is now in effect, for there
have been no fewer than twenty
five divorce eases on the court
docket this year filed by persons
who were married in 1920"

ABOUT IRISH AID
MORE THAN 100000 DONATED
100000 PERSONS IN DIRE NEED.

An official statement concerning the
progress of the collection now being
made by the American Committee for
Relief in Ireland, has been issued at
headquarters, West 34th Street, New
York, by Secretary Richard Campbell.
''The total of contributions already
received by this committee from the
past the $3,OOO,0OO mark" said Mr..
Campbell "This does not include the
100000 allocated for our use by the
American Red Cross from it's reserve
fund, nor the proceeds of recent bene-
fit entertainments such as the McCor-
mack concert"
100000 Face Starvation.
Over one-sixth of these contribu-
tons ($469, S4G), has already reached
Ireland, and arrangements are now be-
ing made for regular remittances.
Fifteen thousand pounds-$75,OOO, at
the usual rate of exchanges the
amount which the American Commit

THE BODY OF THE LORD.

One of the most ungrateful
deeds recorded in human annals
was the rejection by the sects of
the doctrine Of the Real Presence
of Jesus Christ in the Sacrament
OF His infinite love. The Jews
spurned what they failed to
grasp; the sects cast aside with
hateful denial the very proof Of
fered by Christ of His unquench-
able yearning to be united with
men. 1t was as if a man should
reject the motherhood of her who
bore him, and call her a mere
symbol or abstract entity in his
life.
For centuries the old Church
has weathered every. storm raised
by. pagan and atheist. Frequent
ly in tatters and rags, worn out
and exhausted, she has ever pre-
served intact the deposit Of the
holy faith entrusted to her keep
ing. Even as each successive
blast spent it's force and disap.
peared did she appear radiant and
youthful again, beaming love and
mercy upon her very enemies
Not a tenet of Christian belief
but has been denied and ridiculeo
by the misguided hereto or the
blinded agnostic. But the Church
ever goes on teaching men the
salutary truths Of eternal saliva
|tion, leading them from the mo
srass Of evil, steadying them OF
1.-The path to virtue, and ever anG
ALWAYS holding up to Their
wearied gaze the Sacrament o,
Love.

Quoted by the National Catholic Wei

sonal direction, it promises to become
the leading social service school for

s TO the Catholic the Church is
not mere meeting house. As
he enters the sacred edifice and
turns his eyes towards tbs taber-
nacle, like that disciple whom Je-
sus loved, he says, cit is the
Lord. !" No symbol here, no bar
rem remembrance or useless SOU
venir; no saint even or angelic
spirit. 1t is the Lord and none
other. And why not? Jesus
said, Lazarus, come forth, and
Lazarus came forth from the
tomb. He commanded the waves
to be still, and they were stilled.
He drove out the demons and they
remained out. He said, "This is
my body" and the whole Chris
tian world answered, ct is His
body; it is the Lord" One fact
was as difficult to understand as
were the others; but if the 9th
ers are true, why not also this?
Can the audacity of a so-called
Christian go further than to af-
firm, 1t is not the Lord?
AS an eloquent English preach
er observed a few years ago in
great controversy with a non
Catholic prelate, "The whole diff
ference between Catholicity and
Professionalism is simply this:
Catholics have the Real Presence
Protestants, the real absence.

SOUTH SEA ISLANDERS
SPANISH JESUfTS BEGAN WORK
OF cHRISTIANlZlNG AND CIVIL
lZING PoNAPE 1870 YEARS AGO
LEFT ISLAND AFTER SPANISH
AMERICAN WAR.

Spanish missionaries return to a
neid they lost at the end of the Span
lsh-American war, when eighteen Jes-
uits arrive this month in Ponape, chief
OF the group of the South Sea Islands.
Ihey succeed German Catholic mis-
sionaries displaced when Japan was
awarded the mandate over the South
Sea Islands.
1t was one hundred and thirty years
ago that the Jesuit Fathers from Eu-
rope first established Catholic mis-
sions in the South Sea Islands. Few
Catholic communities at that time
knew much about these islands or the
great field for labor among the natives
there. The natives knew only touch
OF the Western civilizations; they
talked no language save a native lingo
that was hard to master. The first
OF the Jesuits labored well with their
subjects in the newly-opened field and
when the Spanish-American War began
there were Catholic schools and
churches in the islands.
Then came the treaty which ended
the war between America and Spain
and German Catholics were assigned
to the work then being conducted by
missionaries from Spain Priests and
lay workers were sent there, and many
OF the new converts took up study
of the German language, giving up the
Spanish which had been a part of their
regular courses. In twenty-five years
the natives who knew Spanish became
fewer and fewer, until today it is said
that few save the oldest Catholic con
verts can speak the language of the
newcoming priests The work of the
German missionaries continued unyi
one year ago, when Japan, anxious to
have the work of civilization contin
ued, asked Pope Benedict to send 9th
er workers to Ponape and the South
Sea centers where $4,000 Catholics
were interested in keeping the worl
of that religion going forward

THE GREAT COMMENCEMENT

Again the time is fast approach
ing when thousands upon thou
sands of the nations young peo-
pie will bid adieu to their alma
mater, be it grade or high school,
college or university. For them
the period of scholastic probation
will have come to an end: and
another sphere will open wide be-
fore their unaccustomed eyes.
Hitherto have they followed the
masters guiding hand; hence
forth must they choose their
course and walk therein.
Education is not the object of
life, but correct living is emphat-
ically the object Of all true edu-
cation. 1t is platitude to repeat
that moral training is necessary
together with intellectual devel-
opment; the truth needs no proof.
In spite of this, many boys and
girls will go forth into the world
with but hazy ideas as to their
moral obligations to themselves,
to society and to the race itself.
That they have done so during
the past generation or so is am
ply evident from the well nigh
two million divorces in twenty
years, not to enumerate the prev
alence of race suicide, general
looseness of morals and a fright
full laxity as regards elemental
modesty..
For all these young people the
great commencement is ushered
in on the very day they step down
from the platform at graduation
Life opens for them new vistas
unfelt responsibilities unfold be-
fore their view, and they become
verify the captains of their souls
theirs to make or to break a hui
man life.
When in a few years new lives
are entrusted to their care, will
these present graduates become
as careless as so many parents OF
the present generation have prov
en- themselves to be? In all prob
ability they will surpass in ex.
cessive leniency the careless par.
ents of today, for undoubtedly
moral standards are considerably
lower and are headed towards
greater mediocrity.
Happy the young man or WON
an who has imbibed definite prin.
ciples of right and wrong and
whose mind has been imbued with
sterling reasons for unimpeach
able conduct founded upon relig
ious gertrude. For such fortrl
nate human beings life may in
deed hold sufferings and trials
but the strength of moral train
ing will furnish the weapons O.

or the woman whose mind is bril-
liant but whose heart is vacuum

FR|GHTFUL SAcR|LEGE
SPRINGFIELD CHURCH is WILEY
DESIGNATED.
(py NJ n Wy n No,

(By N. G.. w. C. News Service.)
Dissertation committed in Holy
Family Church, one of the finest Cath
Ollie churches in Springfield, Mass, was
described by the police as the vilest
piece of vandalism ever known in that
city.
The tabernacle was broken open
and the Blessed Sacrament scattered
about the floor of the sanctuary; the
sacred vessels, the altar and the sane
tuary were mutilated and unspeak-
ably defled. The poor box was also
broken open, but there was no evil
dence of anything having been stolen.
Evidently the vandals came only to do
the devils work of sacrilege.
The matter was not made public un-
til Sunday, May s, it being the opinion
of the police that general public
knowledge might handicap their
efforts to locate the persons respon-
sible.

GOVERNMENT IS GENEROUS
DONATE LAND AND CHANGE
LAWS FOR MISSIONARIES
HAYTr RECOGNIZES WORK OF
HOLY GHOST FATHERS.

The value of the work of th<. Fa-
theirs of the Holy Ghost and Immacu-
late Heart of Mary in HGyti has been
recognized by the Haytian government
in the passage of special law per-
hitting them to acquire property for
educational purposes. This law is di-
rectly contrary to previously existing
laws of the country prohibiting the ac-
QUESTION of property by foreigners.
The action of the government was
taken. in order to induce the Holy
Ghost Fathers to alter their decision
to withdraw their missionaries from
the island during the recent disturb
ances.
In communication received by the
Superior General of the Order from
the President of Hayti, the following
explanation of the action is made:
considering that the Fathers Of the
Holy Ghost and Immaculate Heart of
Mary have done much to educate the
best citizens of this Republic; consid-
ering that it seems necessary for the
welfare of society that the work of
the Fathers of the Holy Ghost and
Immaculate Heart of Mary, in instruct
ing and educating our people, be de-
veloped and made permanent; con-
sidering, moreover, that there is rea-
son to accord to said Order a national
testimonial of gratitude, and establish
it's work on a permanent basis; on
the report of the Secretaries of State,
of the Interior, and of Public Instruc-
ton, with the advice and the counsel
of the Secretary of. State, the follow
ing law has been proposed to and
passed by the Council of the State:
"'The State of Hayti cedes to the
Order of the Holy Ghost and 1mmacu-
late Heart of Mary, for educational
] purposes, all the property on which
it's institutions are found"
Two priests of the Order, Rev.
Francis Nolan and Rev. Kerry Keane,
were ordained May Z at the Holy
Ghost Fathers Mission Seminary near
Darien, Conn.,, and one of them, Fa-
Their Nolan, has already been assigned
to the West Indies.
