HONOR CESAR FRANCk
GREATEST OF ORGANISMS WAS
FERvENT CATHOLIC-PARIS IN
TRIBUTE-EREcT MONUMENT
AT LlEGE.

A rare musical ceremony recently
assembled the elite of the artistic
world of Paris in the basilica of Sainte
Clotilde, under the presidency of the
Observation-Disclosures. Six of the fore
most organists of France, and one
from Italy, played the works of Cesar
Franck on the very organ which was
that of the great composer, who died
thirty years ago. All the players were
former pupils of Franck. Gigout, the
nephew of Niedermayer, is director of
the Niedermayer School of Sacred
Music, and the work which he played
at this memorial concert was precise
ly the Choral which Franck had
dedicated to him.
A few days before the spiritual con.
cert at Sainte Clotilde, the musical
genius of Cesar Franck was celebrated
at the Opera. The seven first orchestra
directors of Paris took turns in con
Quoting, and Queen Elizabeth of Bel
gium came from Brussels especially
| for the concert.
1 lH0S0 JWO l0SIlNdlS, OllG III SdCIeu
and the other of profane music, are
| the prelude to a series of celebrations
to- be held this year in honor of the
centennial of the birth of the illus
ltrious composer who was most de
vout Catholic.
The proceeds of the first concerts
will be used to erect monument in
1.-THE city of Liege where he was borr
December 10, 1922, as a gift of the
city of Paris where he achieved his
career as an artist and where he com
posed all his works.

A CHINESE SPORT

Some American missionaries could
give first hand information about con-
ditions in China il interested inter
nationals would know the truth. A
letter received at Hong Kong, from
the interior. says:
The situation here has not cleared,
but is much better. The evening
sport consists in listening to the bonn
harding of the nearby villages by the
pirates. Last night the firing was
heavy and near. Our work is at O.
standstill and will be until this matter
is cleared up"

A BELFAST PEACE"
RENEW KILLINGS BEFORE INK ON
PACT is DRY.

"No peace" iseems to be the slogan
of Belfast Orangemen. The peace
agreement between Michael Collins
and Sir James Craig has failed to
bring any respite to the distracted
Catholics in the northern part of the
country.
Within twenty-four hours of the
signing of the agreement, Orange as
sassins entered Catholic houses in
Belfast, dragged the occupants out of
bed and murdered men, women and
children indiscriminately.
The month of March saw the death
of sixty-two persons in Belfast, main
ly Catholics. The horror that swept
the country as result of the murder
of the Mcmahon family was in a large
measure responsible for the peace
agreement, the opening words of
which are peace is today declared -

How much cotton is necessary for
use by priest after giving the last
Sacramento?
There should be plenty on hand to
wipe the oil after the priest has an
nointed the sick person.
Is 1t wrong to move the altar stone,
wrapped in a linen cloth, for the pur-
pose of washing the altar?
The altar stone contains relics of
the saints and is placed in the altar
chiefly for the celebration of Mass.
1t should be moved by the priest, not
by layman.
Was it not fate that Judas should
betray Jesus Christ? For did not
Christ Himself foreteII the fact that
Judas was going to betray Him? How
then could Judas help himself?
Fate, in the first place, means that
men are absolutely preordained to a
certain mode of action. Now this is
contrary to Catholic teaching, for ev-
cry man is free to sin or not. In the
case of Judas it is true that Jesus
foretold his SIM but does it follow
that, because God knows what we are
going to do, we are driven to it with
out any will on our part? Gods
knowledge in no way forces us, for
we are free even though God knows
how we are going to use that freedom
Does anything in your everyday life
happen because you foresee that you
are going to do it? By no means
Judas was free to betray his Lord OF
not, and Jesus, knowing how he was
going to act, told him in advance.

How can a person always know
whether sin is mortal or venial?
Three things are necessary to make
a sin mortal. They are: az grave
matter; (2) full consent to the act;
and 60 knowledge of the act as sin

If a certain circumstance or action
has once led one into sin, must it
always be avoided If it is a necessary
circumstance in daily life?
1t would be advisable to seek the
advice of a cOnfessor in this matter,
rs it would be hard to decide with
out knowledge of the circumstances
of your case. However, as a general
rule we must avoid those occasions of
sin which lead us into sin. If they

A certain American mayor who rot
his early training - . policeman.
and accordingly Is . mor fluent
walker than talker, promised recent
ly to make at 4 picnic the best
speech of his public career" When
the time came he ros with due
ceremony and delivered the follow
ing address:
I'm glad I'm here. and I hope you
have all had as much fun As l."
"A careful study OF this oratorical
effort should convince any competent
critic that the mayor made good. He
must have surpassed himself. He
certainly surpassed by an enormous
margin Of excellence the average
public speech for which this country
is more or Tess famous.
