and assured them that they could al
ways count on the support of the gov

Book" of the Mission, he wrote a few

inestimable services to the native
youth"

Give French Church Memorial Bells.
AN unforgettable ceremony" Such
are the words used in all the papers
of Lorraine, in describing the cere-
mony of the blessing of the three bells
presented to the Church of Vigneul-

friends. Mr.. and Mrs. Moses Taylor of
Mt. Kisco, N. Y, Twenty kilometers
from St. Mihiel, Vigneulles is an old
town in the .Woevre district, at the
| foot of the Cotes-de-Meuse. Before
! the war, it had 900 inhabitants, but
like all the villages in the district, it
suffered greatly during the four years
of hostilities, and was not liberated
until the American offensive which
liberated the St. Mihiel salient. DUR
| ing the occupation, the three bells of
the church were carried away by the
Germans and never brought back. Mr..
and Mrs. Taylor, whose son, Lieut..
| Moses Taylor, Jr., of Company E,
Ninth Infantry, Second Division, was
killed in the fighting of 1918 and now
+ lies in the little cemetery of vigneul-

of the bells to the village church.

church three fine bells weighing 1900,

Protestant Tirade.-A fiery propa-
ganda speech made in Glasgow by a
learned divine of the Presbyterian
Church, in the course of which the
dominic detained against what he
called the entertainments of Roman
/ Catholicism in Scotland and particu-
larly in Glasgow, turns out to be a
very valuable commentary on the
progress of the Catholic Church in
these regions of Scotland 1t was a
bitter speech in many ways, but it
did undoubtedly show that the Church
has made great strides, and, to the
woefuf chagrin of the Presbyterian
clergyman, most of it is due to the in
fiux of Irish Catholics. To begin with,
the clergyman lamented that two of
the most distinguished Scottish Cath.
olics, Bishop Graham and Professor
Phillimore, are what he described as
"perverts from the Protestant
| Church" But, if the speaker is to be
i believed, the Catholic Church is maxi
ing such rapid strides that there was
a great danger to the Protestant city
the so-called Protestant city having
no fewer than 38 Catholic churches
besides the cathedral with its Metro
politan Chapter, and a number of con
vents and institutions worked under
Catholic auspices. So much in the
way of numbers. But there are other
directions in which Catholics are &C
tive in Glasgow, as the clergyman sor
rowful1y admitted. His fear is that
the Town Council, the Parish Council
and the Education Authority are il
danger of being captured by the Cath
olics--a state of affairs which he ad
mitted would have been out Of the
| question some twenty years ago.
