What gave rise to the expression,
SIN this sign conquer?"
The Battle of the Milvian Bridge
in 312 A. ID. occasioned it. The throne
of Constantine the Great, the Roman
Emperor of the West, was in great
danger of usurpation at the hands of
Maxentius, the ruler of the East To
ward off defeat and to gain victory,
the pagan Constantine prayed the God
of the Christians for help and
strength. AS remarkable and un-
mistakable answer to his petition, he
and his army beheld at midnight a
wonderful sign, cross of dazzling
light in the heavens, under the in.

lessly he marched on and won, in
sight of Rome, complete victory
over Maxentius, who was drowned in
the Tiber while attempting to retreat
over the Milvian Bridge. In gratitude
for this God-given favor, Constantine
proclaimed, in the year 313, the
Edict of federation, allowing each one
to practice whatever religion he pro-

have been asked the following:
(a) Where in the Bible are we asked
to pray for the dead? (b) Are all the
souls in Purgatory remembered in the
daily Mass of every priest? (c) Are
the souls who have Masses read in
their behalf released from Purgatory
much sooner than those who are aban-
doned and have no one to remember
them in this way?
(a) In the Second Book of Macha-
bees xii, 49,, we read 1T is, there
fore, a holy and wholesome thought
to pray for the dead, that they may
be loosed from SINS" The fact that
we should pray for the dead is based
principally upon our doctrines of Pur-
gatory and the Communion of Saints.
Since the souls in Purgatory cannot
help themselves, it remains with us,
who are so intimately united with
them through the Communion of
Saints, to assist them. (b) All the
souls in Purgatory are remembered
in every Mass. After the priest has
made special memento of his rela-
tives, friends and of whomever he
wishes, he continues the prayer of the
Canon of the Mass, which is as fol-
lows: To these, o. Lord, and to all
who rest in Christ, grant, we beseech
Thee, a place of refreshment, light
and peace. Co This we cannot say.
All the Masses, read for a particular
soul, are offered to God by way of sui
frage. In other words, the priest asks
God to apply the fruits of the Holy
Sacrifice to some individual soul, but
necessarily leaves their actual appli-
cation to the all-wise judgment of a

CATHOLIC SUMNER CAMPS

The growth of the movement in fa-
vor of summer camps under Catholic
auspices, where, in addition to per-
hitting Catholic boys and girls to Sc
cure healthful outdoor recreation. as
slrance may be given that they will
be in distinctly Catholic atmosphere,
has never been SO decided as during
the present year.
Many of the camps for girls are
conducted by religious teaching com

camps will be conducted by priests or
teaching brothers.

The French Council of State has an

dered by the mayor of the little town
of Corbie in Picardy forbidding pub

The pastor having referred the mat

not been imposed by the necessity of
safeguarding order in the streets, that
it exceeded his authority and was il

In a statement just issued the Fed

expressed its opposition to the muster

declaring that such action would be

And means and shrieks in fear"
Witness also his poem written as a
tribute to his regiment, entitled,
when the iSixty-ninth Comes Back:
"The Harp that once through Tara's
Halls shall fill the air with song,
And the Shamrock be cheered as the
port is neared by our trium-
plant throng.
With the Potsdam Palace on a truck
and the Kaiser in sack,
New York will be seen one Irish green
when the Sixty-ninth comes
back"
In many of his writings Kilmer
shows deep religious feeling and
frequently brings this part Of his
nature into his work. In reference
to the birth of Christ he writes of
the Hostler:
He spread clean straw before her
Whereon she might lie down,
And Jesus Christ has given him
An everlasting crown.
To humble folk and weary
8 Give hearty welcoming;
Your repose shall be tomorrow
The cradle of King"
His poem, Roses" dedicated to
Miss Katherine Breezy, is but trib-
ute to his God.
"A red rose in His Sacred Heart, a
white rose in His face,
And His breath has turned the barren
world to rich and flowery
place."
Let us close this short review Of
Kilmer with:

Whose mother was village maid,
Shall we, Thy children blow our
breath
In scorn on humble trade"

Rupert Brooke was born at Rugby,
August 8, 1887. He died on board a
French hospital ship on Friday, April
%. 1915, of blood-poisoning. Like Kill

Brooke sacrificed all for his country,
although under a different flag, but
for the same cause. Three years lat
er Kilmer sacrificed all for his coun-
try.
When England entered the war
Brooke said: Il suppose one should

was quickly ordered on the heroic
but disastrous expedition to. Antwerp.
His first experience Of war was lying
for days in the trenches shelled by
German guns.
In q biographical sketch Of him,
Margaret Lexington writes: Then
followed strange retreat by night
along roads lit by the glare of burn
ing towns. and swarming with pitiful
crowds Of Belgian refugees
He was buried at Scyros, at night,

His mouth is stopped. with half his
songs unsung;
His arm is still, that struck to make
men free"
Brooke and Kilmer.

His arm is still, that struck to make
men Free"
Brooke and Kiimer.
Brooke's writings differ much from
Kilmer's and in style and construc-
ton he seems to have founded what
we may call a new school in litera-
ture. In his MARY and Gabriel" he
shows this:
"She stood there,
Saying, What would you, sir?'
He told his word,
blessed art thou Of women half she
heard"
In his poem "The Funeral of Youth"
Brooke describes all the folly and
passion of youth. He does this in
many ways, through Pride, Lust,
Grief. Conceit. finally ending with
Death.
Even these were met once more to-
gether, all
Whose urge the fair and living Youth
did know;
All, except only Love, Love had died
long ago."
and yet how differently he expresses
himself in 1.-THE Dead:
Sweet wine of youth, gave up the
years to be
OF work and joy, and those unhoped
serene,
That men call age; and those who
/. would have been.
Their sons, they gave, their immor-
tality.'
Now he turns to the subject of a
fish, and 1t is quite possible that he
penned Fish," just after returning
from a trip:
"And in that Heaven Of all their wish,
There shall be no more land, say
Fish"
Not All Joy.
Brooke at times, and really more
frequently than Kilmer, becomes
quite pessimistic. We see this when
he writes:
"And yet-the best that others
known,
Will change. and wither, and be less,
At last, than comfort, or it's own
Remembrance"
Now how quickly he changes to the
fatalistic:
s'Dateless and deathless, blind and
still,
The intricate impulse works its will;
His woven worlds drop back; and he
Sans Providence, sans memory,
| Unconscious and directly driven,
Fades to some dank sufficient heaven"
OF the treasures of the past he
writes:
'fMusing upon them; as mother, who
Has watched her children all the rich
day through
Sits, Quiet-handed, in the fading light,
When children sleep, ere night"
Full of life, he recognized that
death would come:
mid youth and song, feasting and
| carnival,
Through laughter, through roses, as
Comes Death on shadowy and relent-
| less feet"

known, and is shown in the increased
returns from the dairy herd.
II was only q few decades ago that
a COW or two, a pig or two and a few
chickens were maintained on the farm
for no other reason than to fit into
the farmers idea that the family must
live off the farm. That was before
this age OF specialized farming. Now
the dairy farm, the hog farm and the
chicken farm, or ranch are pretty well
recognized as business institutions,
just as are the grain farms.
To the animal husbandryman, the
dairy farm ranks first. The products
from American cows run into aston
ishing figures-well owe the billion
dollar mark. And a business of that
magnitude must be conducted on a
business basis, IL II is to endure.

There Is no gainsaying the fact thar
there are three essentials to success
as a dairy farmer. First, good ami
mails; second, proper care; and third,
healthful stables to house the herd
during the times of the year when pas
ture is not available. Even then. a
great many dalrymen keep the animals
in their stalls at night. and not a few
rarely turn the cows out.
The housing needs Of dairy cows are
fresh air, protection from cold and
drafts, plenty Of light and sunshine,
and clean sanitary quarters. Given
those things the cows will produce the
maximum amount Of milk of the best
quality their breeding permits.
These COW needs are incorporated

1t was not many years ago that
dairymen with small herds looked upon
the modern type of dairy barn as a
''frill' that was designed to please the
