PRIESTS GOLDEN JUBILEE
REV. JEROME SCHNEIDER, o. r.
NJ, OF PULASKI, WIS.,, CAME
TO AMERICA IN 1888.

Rev. Jerome Schneider, o. F. NJ,
celebrated his diamond jubilee on July
8, at Pulaski, Wis. Right Rev. Bishop
Rhode of Green Bay assisted at the
ceremonies. A procession formed by
the Fathers and Brothers, with AGO.
lytes and flower girls, conducted the
venerable priest from the monastery
to the church. The many gifts sent
the reverend jubilarian were carried
in procession by little girls.
Father Schneider sang High Mass
of thanksgiving, and Bishop Rhode de-
livered very touching discourse on
the life and work of the Reverend jul
bilarian. At the end of the Mass, Fa-
Their Schneider feelingly spoke his
gratitude to all present. He then
gave them the Papal blessing, having
received permission from Rome.
Father Schneider came to America
from Poland in 1888. He introduced
and built up the Polish branch of the
franciscan Order in this country. His
works of piety and zeal are many and
fruitful. Through them he has brought
prosperity, both spiritual and tempo
raj, to the Polish people among whom
he has labored.

JUSTICE IN WORLD.

One Of the chief causes Of social
unrest is the lack of real justice
among men. Certain creatures
are so constituted that they seek
ever to dominate, to crush and to
deny to others what they 50 ar
IDENTIFY endeavor to acquire for
themselves. With some it is
love Of money; Others yearn after
power, while not a few burn with
ambition, generated by envy and
jealousy, to appear, not to be,
better than their fellow men.
Such persons-one and all-are
sadly deficient in the very ele-
ments Of human justice, let alone
Of Christianity.
There are men in the world to-
day who rise above the majority
by reason of superior talents, abil-
ity and intrinsic worth. These
qualities and attributes have pro-
duced results. The race is the
better for the lives Of these bene-
factors who have shed their benef-
icent helpfulness far and wide.
The thinking world. however,
shudders at the thought Of such
colossal self-seekers as an AleXan-
der, a Napoleon, a Tamerlane and
a host Of lesser conquerors. Tri-
umph for these scourges meant
but the oppression Of nations and
the destruction of human life.
The small-fry imitators Of the
great scoundrels are more numer-
Gus. They rush and pant and
fume about us every day. Bold
at times, they appear in natural
colors: usually, however, they
carry a mask: religion, politeness,
apparent interest in the welfare
of others, an assumed patriotism
oh, there are a thousand diff
ferent DISCUSSES taken up by the
little tyrants who infest every
grade of civilized society. They
are real Ku Kluxers, going about
stealthily, thirsting for punyf Clio
ries, resorting to lying, trickery

! A PROPOSED CHANGE
UNDER ONE SPECIES
PROPOSED BY BISHOP FOR
EPlScOPALIANS.

Communion under one species will
be proposed to the Triennial General
Convention of the Episcopal Church
in Portland, Ore, next September by
the Rev. DIR. Charles Lewis Slattery,
retiring rector of Grace church and Co
adjutor- Bishop-elect of Massachusetts.
DR.. Slattery will propose that there
be inserted in the Book of Common
Prayer the following rubric:
eff for reasons which seem to him
sufficient the communicate shall think
he ought not to drink of the wine, let
him receive the cup only into his
hands, being assured that having eat
en- of the bread in faith he hath verify
and indeed spiritually received the
Body and Blood of Christ"
The Episcopal Church gives both
bread and wine to the laity, using a
common cup for the purpose. DIR.
Slattery maintains that the danger of
contagion is beginning to be recog.
nized by the laity, and that further.
more in the case of those who have
been addicted to excessive drinking
and who have ceased INDUCING in
liquor, the taste of the wine is likely
to renew the drinking habit.

PADUA THE FAIR
POPE NOW HONORARY PRESI
DENT OF ITALY'S FAMOUS
UNIVERSITY.

The Holy Father has written the
Bishop of Padua on the occasion of
the seventh centenary of the founda-
ton of the University of Padua, the
famous institution which is referred
to in Shakespeare's plays and in
which many distinguished Catholic
scholars received their training.
His Holiness, in accepting an invi-
tation to become honorary president
of the institution, speaks of the vast
body of scholars and masters who
have made the name of the university
illustrious and of the Bishops who
have gone forth from it and whose
works have honored their Alma Ma
ter.
Shakespeare speaks of the univer,
sity in THE Merchant of Venice" as
it is there that Portia is supposed to
have gained knowledge of the law
that stood her in such stead at the
trial of Antonio. In 'The Tanning OF
the Shrew" he refers to fair Padua'
as the nursery of arts"

STATE SEXES SCHOOLS
ALL CATHOLIC INSTITUTIONS IN.
. TRANSATLANTIC HAVE BEEN
coNFIscATED BY GOVERNMENT
--RoUMANIA STARTS ATTACK
ON CHURCH AND ITS SCHOOLS.
(By N. C. w. C. News Service.)

The Catholic schools of Transylva-
mia are threatened with ruin, owing
to so-called reform about to be put
into effect by the Roumanian govern
ment. With the operation of the new
constitution, all the private schools
are to become the property of the
state. The Catholic Church will lose
all of it's educational Institutes, II
middle, 80 secondary and about 600
primary. The loss of so many schools,
it is feared, will have disastrous eff
feet on the education and morals of
the Catholic people.
The spirit prevailing in the Rouma-
MAN schools is quite different from
that of the Catholic Church; and
there is no doubt that the Roumanian
teachers will leave nothing undone to
ALLEVIATE the Catholic youths from
their Church and make them believe
that the way to success will be found
in their profession of the Orthodox
Roumanian faith. For the sake of ma
terial advantage, many undoubtedly
will become renegades to their an
cient faith. The Catholics in Transyl
vania are nearly exclusively Hungari
an, German or Slovak, and their con
version to the Roumanian Orthodox
creed will be the first step in theil
Roumanisation. The suspension oil
the UNCONVENTIONAL schools of these
| nationalities is merely a means tt
| this end.
| Another blow has been dealt to the
ancient Catholic Church of Transyl
vania The so-called land reform di
vests the Catholics of their estate!
serving religious and educational pur
poses The land reform is being car
ried into effect now, and the result o
it is that all the Catholic foundations
have been dispossessed of their prop
erty. The schools and Institutes main
tanned by the revenues of these estates
must cease their operation.

DEBS LAUDS PRIEST
NOTED SOCIALIST PRAISES
WORK OF LATE FATHER MI
CHAEL BYRNE.

In the current issue of the Century,
Eugene " Debs pays a tribute to the
memory of Father Byrne, formerly
chaplain of Atlanta prison: "The late
Father Micnael J. Byrne," he writes,
"of the federal prison at Atlanta, was
in all respects the finest prison chap
lain | have ever known. | had no
church affiliation, and for reasons of
my own | rarely attended devotional
exercises at the chapel, but | loved
Father Byrne, and we would talk to-
gether many hours in my little room
in the prison hospital. O.
Father Byrne ministered in the
spirit of loving service to all alike, no
matter how low some might seem in
the eyes of others. He is at rest. His
memory will be cherished by the thou
sands of convicts to whom he gave
himself as freely and ministered as
lovingly as the Nazarene Himselt
might have done in his place"

THE INDEX SPEAKS.

The Roman Congregation OF the
Holy Office, which now handles
the work of the former congrega-
ton Of the Index, occasionally
singles out the book Of some
author and places it on the for
hidden list. This means that such
writings are not to be read by
Catholics. 1t may happen that
the very denunciation itself will
serve as a form of advertisement
to the curious; but the sterling
believer will follow the command
of his religion and avoid such per-
nicious literature. 1t cannot be
proved that Catholics will read
such works with greater avidity ::
on the contrary. every loyal sub
ject Of the Church will view the
condemnation with the obedience
which he shows to every decree
Of legitimate religious authority.
Thus, the other day reports
from Rome indicate that the
works Of AnatoIe France, the we'll
known French author, have been
placed on the Index Of forbidden
books. The reasons assigned
point to the iippancy and irrever-
ence towards religion that have
characterized the literary output
Of this writer. The tendency to
belittle the truths Of revelation,
to cast obloquy upon the practices
and devotions Of the faithful, and
to sheer at genuine piety, all are
more than sufficient to brand such
books as unsuited and positively
hurtful to the spirit Of faith.
Formerly it was considered a
lawful pastime among certain
writer's to hurl invectives against
the congregation Of the Index.
Time and thought, however, have
brought about change. Govern
ments consider it a bounden duty
to forbid publications that are in
furious to morals or the allegiance
which every citizen owes to his
country. Societies will not toler-
ate books or papers that reflect
upon their character or the integ-
l.ity of their members.
SO it happens that when the
Church declares that such or such
a book is forbidden to her chill
| dren. all loyal Catholics will re-
ceive the decree with due submits
sion, nay, with gratitude for this
protecting aegis extended by a
loving mother over the hearts and
minds of her children.

WAS AGAINST LIQUOR.

The Post of Louisville, KY, dealing
with the career of the late Dean Nc
Nulty, pastor of st. Johns church,
Paterson, N. j., for over half CEN
fury, says:
The story of this mans life cannot
be given, even in summary here, but
there appears to be no contradiction
of the fact that he has influenced Pat
erson during the last half century and
more as has no other citizen. Many
of his parishioners were poor people,
and we are told that, beginning long
before national prohibition seemed
probable, or even possible, Father Nc
Nulty declared eternal war against the
liquor traffic.
One of the most dramatic incidents
of the dead priests career took place
more than rs years ago when, almost
single-handed, he extricated two Off
GERS of the law, guarding murderer.
from an excited mob. Ten thousand
people were assembled on that occa-
sion bent upon lynching, but the de-
termined vicar of st. Johns led the
prisoner through them all, and so
great was his personal influence that
Paterson was spared the shame of a
riot
Countless other incidents are given
in connection with this mans life, but

ence of the Church declining? That

BUILD 800 CHURCHES
GREAT BOOM SEEN IN SOUTH
ALL DENOMINATIONS BUSY.

More than $50 church buildings,
each involving a cost of $4,000 or
more, have been completed or started
in sixteen southern states and the
District of Columbia during the past
eight months, by various denomina-
tons. The total of the outlay for
these buildings represents $23,000,000.
Among the imposing structures de-
scribed is that being built for the Sis
ters of Divine Providence at San An
tonic, which will be one of the larg-
est Catholic churches in the south.
This structure will cost 100000 and
will be connected with the college
buildings and other units by corridors,
each two hundred feet long.
The marble altar will cost $4,000
and chimes will be placed in the bel
fry and clock on the tower.
Texas leads in the church building
enterprises recorded, with forty-four

fascist ON RAMPAGE
CLASH WITH CATHOLICS IN ITALY
AND SEIZE CHURCH-ExACT
MONEY FOR "PRoTEcTIoN."

Italian Fascist are adopting prac-
tees much akin to those of the Ku
Klux Khan in the United States, and
although their slogan continues to be
war on Communism" the movement
has become menace, in many parts
of the country, to sane government of
any kind. Catholics have frequently
clashed of late with unruly Fascist
bands
Recently there was exposed in Ven
ice band of 1000 Fascist known as
the Cavaliers of DEATH" which -four
ished more or less secretly for more
than two years. The members of the
organization, according to police re-
ports, wore a black Fascist shirt dec
Grated with skull and crossbones
and were armed with heavy canes. "A
highly successful system of intimida-
ton was carried out, and protection"
was promised, through printed circu-
lars, to the citizenry on the payment
of specified sum.
One of the most recent demonstra-
tions against Catholics was that in
which three thousand copies of the
Unione Cattolica, which contained an
article against the organization, were
burned. In Volta Mantovana, the Fa-
scisti became enraged because the vii
lage priest, Don Cesare Ferrari, diff
fered with them politically, and they
invaded the church which they held
as fortress for several days. The re-
suit was that the Bishop interviewed
and sent the priest, who had fled the
town, back to his post in charge of an
escort.

ONE LESS CATHOLIC
URUGUAY SHOCKED BY ATTEMPT
TO MURDER ARCHBISHOP.

(By N. c. w. c. News Service.)
The attempted assassination of the
Archbishop of Montevideo, Monsignor
Aragone, aroused feeling of horror
even among Uruguayan free-thinkers
Many messages of coincidence were
sent the Archbishop, including one
from DR.. Cantilo, governor of the
Province. Monsignor Aragone is now
said to be definitely out of danger.
In commenting on the attempted as
sassination, the Southern Cross said:
Although the blame is directly due
to the mailman or criminal who at
tempted the foul deed, there is no
small share of the responsibility on
the men who have wrested religion
from the people, thus removing the
greatest possible bulwark against
crime, namely, moral restraint"
The would-be assassin, on being ex-
amined, explained that he was an an
archist and said that if he had killed
the Archbishop there would have been
one less Catholic in the world
