CONDEMNS REPRlSALS
BISHOP FoGARTYs APPEAL FOR
RESTRAINT - CHRISTIAN PA
THENCE NEEDED IN IRELAND.

So deeply had the attempt to burn
the house of Bishop Fogarty been re-
sented that the indignant people re-
sorted to reprisals in Ennis In let
ter to the press he appealed for self
restraint. He wrote:
Let us combine in a spirit of Chris
tian charity to stop the outbreak of
reprisals and counter-reprisals now af-
flicting our town (Ennis). Ihave been
a sufferer myself, so have others been,
and far more severely than have /
can and do sympathize with them.
The circumstances are exasperating,
but | hope the community and every
member of it will rise superior to ex-
ASPIRATION. No one should be moved
to retaliation for the attempt to burn
my house. Any such criminal madness
would pain me more deeply than the
destruction of church property itself,
however horrible. In the name
of God let matters rest where they
are on all sides. 1t is the Christian,
manly and rational thing to do and
with heavens pleasure may help to
bring us the blessing of peace"

NOT FOR HIS SON
FATHER SEEKS TO PREVENT
PRAYER FOR HIS HERO SON.
NOW FACES DILEMMA.
(By N. C. w. C. News Service

(By N. C. w. G.. News Service.)
The Cure of MISUNDERSTANDING
in France, recently had tablet put
up in his church in memory of the
boys of the parish who died for
France. The tablet bore the names
of the boys, followed by the words,
Pray for Them
The father of zone of the boys, M,
Groseiller, objected to these words be-
cause, he said, his son did not prac-
tice his religion" and demanded that
his sons name be removed from the
plate as it offended his freedom of
conscience to think that people were
asked to pray for his son. M. eros
eiller brought the matter to court, but
the judge decided that Groseiller had
no cause for complaint since he knew,
when he contributed to the fund
to be put up in the church.
Groseiller then carried the matter
to a higher court. This time the judge
decided that Marcel Groseillers name
should disappear from the plate but
that, since M. Groseiller knew when
he subscribed for the tablet that it was
to be put up in the church, he might,
if he so desired, have a new tablet
made, at his own expense paid in adj
vance, without the name of his son,
but with all the other names, SYM
bols, words or emblems which had
been engraved on the first tablet
So now Groseiller is forced to let
matters remain as they are on else

vent people from praying for the soul
of his son!

may happen that they are not an
swered in the precise manner we de-
sire; God may see fit not to grant
our particular request; but our pray

natural point of view, if this is the

Is the Mass an unbloody sacrifice,
or bloody sacrifice?
The Council of Baltimore in it's
catechism, defines the Mass as 1.-The
unbloody sacrifice of the Body and
Blood of Christ" In the Mass the
Blood of our Lord-His real and true
Blood-the same that He shed on Cal
vary-is offered by the priest. 1t is
real blood. and it is real sacrifice;
but it is offered in an unbloody man
ner. The first Mass was celebrated
by our Lord in the Upper Chamber the
night before He died; He changed
oiSou gnu WHY IlIo iIiS DOuy anu
Blood, and offered them to His heav-
emily Father. There was no visible,
tangible shedding of blood on that oc-
casion, although it was His real and
true Blood that He offered. What
Christ did in the Upper Chamber, the
priest does in the Mass. On Calvary,
Christ actually shed His blood in a
sensible manner. The Mass repeats
Calvary; it is the same sacrifice as
that of the Cross; the difference is one
of manner-bloody on Calvary, UNI
bloody in the Mass.
In order to gain remission of the
temporal punishment, which is better:
Holy Communion with the prayer be-
fore crucifx, or Low Mass?
1t is hard to institute proper COM
parsons in spiritual matters. There
are many ways of gaining plenary in
dulgences and sometimes plenary in
dulgences are not gained in their full
ness owing to the presence of venial
sins. Why not unite the two ways you
suggest? If you go to Mass, go to
Communion also, and then in thanks
giving recite the indulgenced prayer
before the crucifix
Are these two ways of keeping Lent
approved? Two ounces at breakfast,
collation. at noon, and full meal in the
evening? and, collation. at breakfast,
and then nothing till the full meal in
the evening?
Yes.
AS singer in the choir, am al
lowed to spray my throat with an oil
before going to Communion, if | sinq
at that Mass?
Yes; one could spray the throat
without breaking the fast required for
the reception of Holy Communion.
Provided the oil, or water, is not swal-
lowed, the fast is not broken, and you
may go to Communion.
