HELPING OURSELVES

Two thousand years of history
makes it very plain that civilization
is no better and no worse than the
average citizens who make and
maintain it.
Two thousand years have not,
and doubtless ten thousand years
will not, teach every one that a
nation can not be legislated into
Utopia. The do as | do, think as
| think, or III pass a constitution
al amendment making you chap
will probably, like the poor, al
ways be with us.
But he will decrease in numbers
as the knowledge spreads, that the
spread of knowledge is the answer
to all the problems of our imperfect
life. When a man knows that a
hot stove burns, he keeps his
hands off it. When he knows that
oil soothes, he anoints his burned
fingers. When we all know, what
some OF us realize, that the imper-
fections of our existence are due to
the fact that lot OF us know no
better, we will all unite for better
education, for more education, for
finer education.
We have too much reverence for
book learning" and not enough
understanding for the difference be-
tween acquired knowledge and ac-
quired ability to think. 1t is edu-
cation which teaches thinking, not
dates and facts alone, which we
all need. 1t is not only more
schools, but better schools we must
have.
You have guessed itl This is an
other argument for the Towner-
Sterling bill, now before congress,
creating a department of educa-
ton. which shall aid our forty
eight states not only to educate
more OF us, but accomplish that
education better, quicker, less ex-
pensively, more efficiently.
1t is in education not in army
or conference, arbitration or treaty,
that the hope of world peace lies; /;
it is education, not legislation,
which shall keep this nation in the
forefront OF the worlds civilization.

VENERABLE DR.. LACY

DR.. Lacy, Bishop of Middlesborough
and the dean of the Catholic epis-
copate in Great Britain, has recently
celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of
his coming to the episcopal city.
AS a young priest, DR.. Lacy took up
clerical duties in Middlesborough
fifty years ago, and he had been in
the city only ten years when he was
consecrated to the episcopate as the
first Bishop of the newly-founded See
of Middlesborough.
He was then one of the youngest
Bishops in the entire Catholic world,
and today, at the age of 80 years, he
can look back and see the installation
of every Bishop ruling the Church in
England, Wales and Scotland. He
built his own Cathedral, in which
later on he was consecrated it's first
Bishop by the late Cardinal Manning

did use such equivalent words. Writ
that they are reconciled with God if
they remain grounded and settled in
the hope of the gospel. He describes
this gospel as, the preached-toevery-
creature-under-hea Here
we have the same concrete unity as is
implied in the group term, the
throughout-the-wo church; that is,
the Catholic Church. In effect the
preached to every creature under
heaven-gospel and the throughout-the-
world-church are the same. Therefore
we should say that in Scripture the
Catholic Church is found both in fact
and in equivalent terms.

nothing to indicate that st. Ignatius

in this meaning but confirms the scrip

epistles to the Church" of this or

fer to scattered units of one whole in
which there is but one Lord, one
faith and one baptism. The Apostle
of the Gentiles, by reporting back to
Antioch, gives us to understand that

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
FURTHER REFLECTIONS ON THE
WORD, "CATHoLlc."
st. Paul. Mimi,
September II, 1922.
To the Editor

l. y CAC I1oA'oA
In your admirable answer to the
last question in your Question Box
of September 9, something might be
added at the risk of being too tech
nical.
The word Catholic" is not merely
a word; it is rather a group of words,
Kath olen (gen. UNDERSTOOD, mean
ing throughout the whole world. 1t
is highly important to find this group
word or it's equivalent in Scripture
and to find it applied to the Christian
Church. The letters of ST. Paul are
written ito the Church of God which
is at Corinth;" ito the Church of the
Thessalonians which is in Cod" ito
the Churches of Galatia," or to groups
of people whom he calls "the saints
in Rome, Ephesus and Colosse. Futher-
more he tells how the solicitude of "all
the Churches" weighs upon him. These
quotations seem to indicate that he
had no idea of Catholic Church. St.
Ignatius, it might be argued, COM
ing long Safter st. Paul, is too
late a witness for the concep-
ton of scriptural Catholic Church as
opposed to the scriptural conception
given above of only local and detach-
ed groups called Churches, all the
more that it is admitted now, / be-
| lieve, generally, that st. Ignatius did
| not use the term in it's conventional
sense 1t is the contention of non
| Catholics that the scriptural period of
the Church knew only local autono-
NOUS Churches, and that if these
Churches became merged into one
/ Church Catholic, the merging was
done unjustly and by the overlooking
| of the Roman Church. Therefore, it
is not quite satisfactory to say that
4 our Lord would have His Church Cath
olic. They would readily grant that.
They think that He wants it yet to be
Catholic but in their way. 1t is i'm.
i portant to show that there was bond
of unity among the Churches mention
ed in Scripture. This bond is shown
by the evidence of Subordination OF
the Churches st. Paul confers with
Peter lest "he may have run in vain,
and receives from him the right hand
of fellowship and an apportionment Of
the apostolate ST. Paul after his jour
i neys invariably reports back to An
tioch which had sent him forth; An
tioch through Barnabas had received
credentials from Jerusalem and Peter
If ST. Paul founded many Churches
he never let slip from his hands the
/ reins of authority over them. AL
] though laboring at Ephesus he threat

Furthermore, although he speaks o
Churches" he has an all-embracins
conception of a Church which he calls
"the house of the living God, the pill
lar and ground of the TRUTH "tht

Christ is the head" etc. Was this ;

Last Tuesday, September II, the
new monastery and college of the
Crosier Fathers was solemnly dedi-
Gated at Onamia. The High Mass of
dedication was celebrated pontifically
by the Rt. Rev. Abbot of st. Johns
University. Abbot Alcuin, who was
assisted by Very Rev. w. van Dinter,
O. S. Or, as assistant, and Revs. H.

and subdeacon of Mass were Rt. Rev.
Dean, j. Hiegler and Rev. Aug.
van de Heuvel. Reys. J. Fearon and
w. 'Rennen were masters of cere-
monies. The dedicatory address was
given by Rt. Rev. Mgr. Plachta, who
gave beautiful and eloquent tribute
to the Crosier Fathers who, acting
upon a seven centuries old fame
OF love for the Cross, had now com.
pfeted their first monastery in the
new world-a monastery which in ev.
cry way is a credit to the territory in
which it is erected.
After the Pontifical Mass the dedi
cation proper was performed by the
Rt. Rev. Mgr. Thiebaut, the admins
traitor of the diocese during the
absence of Bishop Busch.
The ceremony was witnessed by a
host of friends of the clergy and laity
who each and everyone pronounced
the new monastery one of the finest
and most up to date buildings they
have ever seen. Erected in a thor
oughly fireproof way, the solidity OF
the red brick trimmed with the finest
cuts of Bradford rock, it is a monu
ment which always will be credit
to the Crosier Fathers who under
took it's erection and saw it's happy
completion.
With the new monastery a college
for home and foreign missions is con
nected where boys will have a splen
