Translation from the ancient class

SPEAKS on SEX HYGIENE

Advice to children on questions of
sex hygiene should be given only by
parents or by the family physician, ac-
cording to the Rev. John B. Creeden,
S. j., president of Georgetown Univer-
sity. Addressing an organization of
medical men at Washington, Father
Creeden declared that there is no place
in this country for the large group of
women who, he said, seem to have a
morbid desire to speak and write for
the public on sex subjects.
He paid high tribute to the medi-
cal profession, saying that in all his
experience he had never heard of a
physician who refused to take char
ity case in an emergency.
Referring to the various theories as
to the origin of man, Father Creeden
said: 81 have no quarrel with the sci
entific man who believes in the theory
of evolution and is ready to prove his
position, but at the same time, / have
no respect for the believer in evolution
who says any man who does not side
with him is fool

PERFORMANCE OF

Plans for the 1929 season of "Ve-
ronica's VEIL" Americas Passion Play,
which is annually produced at st. JOS
eph's Auditorium, West Hoboken, N.
j., have been completed and every.
thing is in readiness for the most sue
cessful year in the history of this won
derful religious dramatic spectacle.
At the beginning of each season, there
are special performances given exclu.
sively for children. Each year many
thousands of boys and girls and their
teachers are disappointed, owing to
the fact that they cannot secure seats
at these special performances. This
year special provision will be made
for them.
The regular season for adults will
open on Sunday, February II, and
performances will be given every
Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday eve
ming and on Sunday afternoons during
the season of Lent.

IMPORTANT IMMIGRATION
STUDIES COMPLETED

A complete study of European and
other immigration to the United
States and of the parts played by the
various racial and national groups of
immigrants in the development, in
dustry, culture and government of the
country, has just been concluded un-
der the auspices of the K. Of G. Ameri-
can history commission, the chairman
Of the commission recently announced.
Statistics of immigration have
been most misleading" the statement
says. "and this X. Of G. study will,
it is hoped, form an authoritative
work on immigration and explode the
fallacy by which remoter aliens seek
to dominate more recent aliens"
The contributions of the English,
Celtic, Teutonic, Slav, Scandinavian,
Jewish and Negro races have been pre-
pared by recognized scholars of those
races and will be made public by the
knights in book form. This inquiry
into immigration and its effects has
taken more than a year to complete
and has constituted the major work of
the X. of G. commission this year
last years work being principally de-
voted to an inquiry into defective his
tory textbooks.

portance of obtaining substantial re-
suits. You have the advantage of be-
ing able to make a comparative study
of units that are carrying on the same
line of work. This study should en-
able you to formulate forms and to
set standards, which can only be done
through central organization. 1t is

Office in discharging it's duty does not

but only offers helpful suggestions

For all your work you have sought and

not to be understood as identical with

The Church is the mystical Body Of

Catholic Women has as it's first duty

Conditions today in the United
States give you, perhaps, the greatest
opportunity in the history of America
for the defense of the Church. All
Americans can be divided into two
classes; those who know the Church
and those who do not know her. The
knowledge of the Church admits many
degrees. One cannot know the Church
without loving her; the more pro-
found the knowledge, the greater the
love. One cannot love the Church
without trusting and serving her.
Catholics, who know the Church, must
marvel at the attitude of their nom
Catholic friends and brethren. The
astonishment is all the greater in
America, where there is religious
sense and an almost universal wish to

CHURCH AND COUNTRY AT
WAsHINGToN'S NATIONAL
GATHERING LAST WEEK. :

In the short period of three years
a great national organization has come
into being. This body is met here
today through you, it's representatives.
There were apprehensions at first
about the scope of your organization,
for it seemed to embrace too much,
and the further dangers threatened Of
undertaking too great things in too
short time, and of having great
initial enthusiasm without being as
signed well-defined constructive work.
But all anXieties have vanished All
doubts have been put aside. The Ma
tional Council of Catholic Women, in
response to the call Of the authority
of the Church, sprang up over night.
Guided by that same authority and
protected by it's blessing, you should
carry on your work with confidence,
courage and perseverance. In your
parochial and diocesan units the scope
and variety of your work can be most
clearly defined. There it is your duty
and privilege to undertake whatever
may be entrusted to you by parochial
or episcopal authority. Under the
vigilant eye and prudent guidance of
local authorities, you will never ex-
ceed the limits set for you In your
national committees and organization,
you are a clearinghouse of ideas; you
are a bureau of information and sug-
gestion; you are a correspondence
school, imparting the knowledge that
you have gathered; you are publish

of Catholic women everywhere, espe-
cially in America; you are a resource

ever invited to do so.
Hundreds of Groups of Women.
You can plan many things which
could not be so well formulated by
those whose vision does not embrace
our vast continent, and who may not
understand the interdependence of
Catholic societies of women nor ap-
preciate, as does your central organ

"The formal welcome of American

PRIEST DIES OF HEART
DISEASE

The Rev. Ladislas Vardkerti, pastor
vile, Pa, died from the effects Of the
excitement incident to his rescue of
sacred objects from fire which de-
stroyed the church and rectory last
week. Father Vardkerti was aroused
at 2:30 a. m. and found that the flames
had already gained considerable head
way. He had made one trip ofit of
the church, but as he emerged the
second time, he fell. Firemen and
spectators believed he had been over
come by smoke, but after working
three hours, doctors failed to revive
him and he was pronounced dead of
heart disease. The origin of the fire
is unknown.
