wonders that astounded and
amazed the learned and con-
founded the proud.
There is, however, one incident
which seems to overshadow all
the other manifestations OF pow
er; it is the miracle OF love in the
Holy Eucharist. Christ might
have decided to erect marvellous
palace in which He would appear
at times, or wherein He might re-
side for all time. He might have
drawn upon His omnipotence to
make this abode the most dazzling
imaginable in order to overawe
and to draw men. In a word, lie
easily might have reduced His
yearning for men to any one OF
an indefinite number Of compel
ling forms. But love does not act
in that way. Love strikes at the
heart: it shuns display and
eschews superficial attractions.
Christ chose the Tabernacle as
the home of His love. The humil-
ity of God is as awesome as His
power: abasing Himself to the
form, with reverence we say it,
almost of nonentity. Under the
simple appearance of bread, closed
in small receptacle, ignored by
many. laughed at by the wise and
usually abandoned even by His
own followers, the miracle Of the
hidden God surpasscs belief. With
power to annihiIate, He refrains
from striking With infinite
loneliness, He yet refuses to force
the human will to love. Capable
of setting forth the most enticing
allurements to those whom He
would win, He remains in a state
of utter simplicity, content to be
loved by the chosen few, willing
to suffer the contumely and the
scorn of the mbeliever, and. what
is far more poignant, the neglect
of the so-called believer.

themselves in some of the towns and

WOMEN NOT EQUAL
EPISCOPALIANS BAR WOMEN
FROM VOTING.

Fifty-one parishes of the Protestant
Episcopal diocese of Newark voted
against the admission of women to
membership in parochial vestries, and
to suffrage in the diocesan convention.
Only twenty-five voted in the affirma-
tive. The vote was the result of a
referendum on the questions which
have come before the diocesan conven.
tions for three years.
The proposal which raised the issue
was to strike the word male" from
the constitution of the diocesan con
vention. Had that carried it would
have had the effect of putting women
of the diocese on an equality with
men in various positions in the admin
istrative bodies of the Episcopal
Church.

Appreciation of the great religious
and educational work which the Cath

and have been performing for many
years is contained in dispatch which
the Ell Paso Herald published recently.
Although Catholic priests, regular
and secular, and members of different
Sisterhoods have been in this field

have accomplished immense good in
a civic as well as spiritual way, it has
not been often that their labors and
sacrifices have won even bare notice
from the secular press.

weakness for the man who "cuts
loose" occasionally in the cause
of truth and purity and justice,
and gives takers and vain fools a

scandaliZed when we see good
man get angry once in a while at
dirt and lies and fakery and fraud
and sham, and reach for his shil-
lelagh, especially when he has
tried gentle remonstrance and has
been laughed at for his pains. The

REV. r. A. PRINTON.

There is no better known priest
in st. Paul than Father Printon
who celebrates his silver jubilee
next Tuesday. The jealous and
popular pastor of ST. Andrew s
church at Como Park has host
of friends whom he has held for
many years and who all rejoice
that it has been given him to
commemorate twenty-five years in
the service Of his Master. Rich
and poor, learned and illiterate
know Father Printon as a friend,
one who is glad at their prosperity
and happiness and who will go to
any limit to help one in need. That
partly explains his widespread
popularity. The rest of the ex-
PLANTATION is to be found in his
personality, cheerful, exuberant
and optimistic always.
The first ten years of Father
Printon s priesthood were such as
would subdue less ardent nature
than his. Few colored people
there were in St. Paul, and but
a half dozen Catholics among
them. Archbishop Ireland, how
ever, sensed the need for a church
for these devoted believers, and
the task of rallying them and Win
ming more to the faith was placed
upon the shoulders of the young
priest, his first assignment. With
out means, with his little handful
of people. without church or place
of assembly, the youthful Levite
set forth to build up a Catholic
center of devotion. Within a short
time he had a church, st. Peter
Claver's, a rectory and a large
Colored congregation, all the re.
suits of his untiring efforts and
unsparing self-sacrifice.
Some years ago through the mu.
nificence of the late Mr.. Timothy
Foley, st. Andrew parish was
blessed financially. The present
combination church and schoo
were made possible by Mr.. Foley's
kindness. The parish also posses
ses beautiful rectory and large
convent for the Sisters. of Notrt
Dame who teach in the school.
/ The occasion Of Father Prin
tons jubilee, no doubt, will draw
together a large number Of friend
. from all parts OF. the city; the.
are all debtors to his friendship
many to his charity and counsel
, and all will rejoice in his success
and augur for him many lon
E years of fruitful service in hi
5 priesthood and the most abundan
!, need of happiness. The Catholi
Bulletin, of which Father Pinto.
: has been a staunch friend fo
e years, humbly joins in this devon
r wish, with the added trust that hi
r years may far outnumber those a
$ lotted by the Psalmist.
