sion, June IA, fair will be held in

A few years ago the old church burn
ed down and a new church was erect
ed by the generous contributions of
the 80 Catholic families, the as
sistance of the Church Extension So
ciety and liberal donations from local
non-Catholic business men and
friends. Many kind-hearted priests
and Sisterhoods sent altar linens, vest
ments and other articles: The church

IN MEMORY
(By Alvatisene.)

The fairest flowers are none too fair,
Nor tears from proud eyes none too
rare,
To deck the hallowed dust
Of those who saved the natior's life,
Nor deemed too great the mortal strife
To keep their country's trust.
The flag, that now we'd die to save,
We proudly place upon each grave,
AS fitting an "amen,"
AS ever followed voiceless prayer
Or parted consecrated air
To echo DER again.
Mays garlands, too, we fondly place
Upon each hallowed resting place
Above each noble head,
Immortelles of our love are they,
Those tender blossoms of the May
That deck our bravest dead.
Our hearts are beating no retreat,
But martial time to moving feet
OF these, who, in the past.
In uniforms of blue or gray
Through civil combat, won the day
OF national peace at last.
For all our brave asleep today,
Who saved our colors far away
In lands meath other skies, ]
May flowers be gathered, tears be
Av.7 shed,
For they are our----our nations dead
Whose memory never dies.

ST. LOUIS UNIVERSITY
CATHOLIC COLLEGE OF MEDICINE
SHINES BY COMPARISON.

(By N. c. w C. News Service.)
A comparison of the records made
by graduates of the ST. Louis Univer-
sity College of Medicine, with those
of graduates of two other medical
schools of admitted high standing
shows that the men who received their
training in the Catholic College have
the lowest percentage of failures in
examinations for licenses. The fig
ures compiled, are for the past ten
years:
Johns Hopkins: Candidates for IL
censure in all States, CAB; number of
failures, %; percentage of failures,
.O34.

in all States, 678; number of failures,
1S; percentage of failures, .026.

Persecution has not been without
it's benefits to the Catholics of Czecho-
Slovakia.
Prescription, injustice and open at
tacks by the intolerant elements have
stirred the Catholic consciousness and
brought them into cohesion. They
are now beginning to sense their
strength and to consolidate their
numbers and resources. They give
indications of becoming the most in
f1uential party in the Republic.
The rural population shows an I'M
mistakable drift to the Catholic side.
Heretofore the Socialistic groups have
attracted many to their ranks by false
promises, but there is an awakening
of the masses, who have discovered
the unreality of the Socialist Utopia
and are turning to the practical, pro-
gressive program of the Catholic PEG
pies party.
The census showed an official affilia-
ton of Is per cent Of the inhabitants
of Czecho-Slovakia to the Catholic
Church. These forces have not been
politically organized and directed here
tofore and have suffered minority to
rule them.

MAKES PLEA THAT GOD BE RE.
STORED TO FRENCH COINS.


(By N. C. w. C News Service.)
Before the war, one of the French
Ministers of Finance, who evidently
relied on his own powers of defense,
had the words, God, protect France
removed from all the gold pieces coin
ed during his regime. He hoped in
this way to attain great honors and
popularity But since then, this min
lister has been condemned by the Su-
preme Court and banished, and the
devil has come to take the place of
the gold in our purse" fife
The above words were used re-
Gently in speech in the French Sen.
ate by Senator Dominique Delahaye,
to prepare them for the truth that
France has need of divine protection.
The witty Senator followed up his
speech with some wise recommends
tions.
ITO scare away the devil" he said,
Il recommend the invocation, God
protect France In vain you will try
to balance your budget unless you
render to the Master of men and, bud
gets the homage due Him.

notes may have been inserted into the

any essential doctrine was substantial

A Protestant friend of mine says
that it was Emperor Constantine who

to Sunday. HuI
For three centuries before Constan-
tine We have clear and convincing
evidence that the Church observed
Sunday as the Lords Day. In the
Acts of the Apostle Xxx, y, written
ahortly after Our Lords ascension,
the practice of meeting together on
the first day of the week for the Gel
ebration of the Eucharistic Sacrifice
is indicated. st. Ignatius, of the first
century, speaks of Christians as mo
longer observing the Sabbath, but liv-
ing in the observance of the Lord S
Day on which also Our Lord rose

fury (Apol. C. 60 describes the wor-

on Sunday. And in the fourth Gen.

positive legislation on the matter. for

Constantine, being the first Christian
Emperor, passed civil legislation re
garding the observance of Sunday. In
his famous Edict of 313, he forbade
judges to sit on that day and townpeo-
pie to work on that day, making an
exception for those engaged in agri-
culture.

Could you kindly give me any in
about Our Lady OF Victory?
1t has frequently happened in the
history of Christian peoples that they
have invoked the aid of the Blessed
Virgin in times OF national stress;
they sought her intercession that vic
tory might crown the efforts of their
armies; then gave the credit to the
powerful intercession of Gods Moth
en- Perhaps the best known feast
under this title is that first celebrated
on October Z, and later changed to
the feast of the Holy Rosary. This
feast was instituted in thanksgiving
for the victory won at Lepanto over
the Turks on October Z, 1871. 1t was
a victory that freed central Europe
from Turkish domination. The Pope
appealed to the entire Christian world
to invoke Mary's intercession for the
success of the Christian arms. A de-
cisive naval victory was achieved,
and Christian faith attributed the
success to the prayers of Christ 3
Mother The Pope instituted the
feast of Our Lady of Victory to be
celebrated on October Z; this was
changed a few years lated to the first
Sunday of October into the feast of
the Holy Rosary. In very recent
years, the date October Z was re-
stored, although the solemnity Of the
feast may be observed on the first
Sunday of October.
Are there not errors in the Catho-
lie Bible caused by translations? May
there not be an error in the text:
"Thou art Peter and upon this rock |
will build my Church and the gates
of hell shall not prevail against it?'
The Bible is Gods work and Word.
He inspired the writer's SO that they
wrote what He desired them to write,
and while writing He preserved them
from the possibility of error. God
did not force the various translators
of the Bible. But it was Gods work
that they were translating and we
cannot suppose that God was SO in
different to their action that He
would permit them to pervert His in

along the banks of the Detroit river,
stalking out farms on each side of the
stream until they reached nearly the
borders of Ohio. The River Raisin
being the first river south of the De-
troit river, naturally attracted the
most settlers and thus led to the found

Founded by Missionary.
St. Mary's was founded in 1888, by
Father Frichette, Catholic mission
airy, who was sent by the Bishop of
Ohio into the field. In 1884 the Ojib-
was and Pottawatomies roamed along
the banks of the River Raisin and
in that year the first French settler,
Navarro, came. In four years, Al
French families had settled and the
place was known as Frenchtown.
They were all Catholics, and in 1888
determined to have a church. They
purchased a piece of land for, 400
francs, and here they founded the or
ganization which afterwards became
st. Mary's.
The church was log building and
lasted along into the last century

GERMAN EMPRESS LAUDED
BY CATHOLICS FOR HER CHARITY

(By N. CIV c. News .Service.)
On the occasion of the funeral of
the former German Empress, services
were held in many Catholic churches,
and addresses were made recalling
the many charitable works of Augusta
Victoria. The bishop of Osnabruck,
among others, made a very touching
speech. The Catholic press, however,
did not conceal the fact that the EN-
press did not favor the Catholics, be-
cause of their faith, and made no
secret of her hostility to Catholicism.
This, however, has not kept her for
mer Catholic subjects from recQgniz-
ing sher good qualities.
