Fund for athedraI.-Liverpool has
raised so far about 100000 of the half
million dollars required for the build
ing of it's new Catholic cathedral. This
sum has been obtained entirely from
among the Catholics of the archdio-l
cese. 1t is great achievement, for.
although Liverpool. with it's 390,713
Catholics has the largest population
of any Catholic diocese in England
and Wales, yet times are hard and un-
employment widespread. Liverpool is
proud to remember that future Pope
once trod its streets, as the Holy Fa-
Their reminded the Archbishop of Liv-
erpool whilst he was in Rome recent
ly In 1900, when the Holy Father was
simple Dr.. Ratti, he was on an official
! visit to the Convent of the Cenacle in
Manchester, he being at that time
chaplain at the Cenacle convent in
Milan. The future Pope made brief
visit to Liverpool, but the fact was
not known generally until the Pope
himself told Archbishop Heating about
his visit
Library in Dublin opened.-The new
Central Catholic Library in Dublin
| was formally opened by Rev. S. j.
Brown, S. j. 1t will be conducted un-
| der the patronage of the Archbishop
| of Dublin by Library Association act
| ing in collaboration with the Jesuit
Fathers. A representative ladies' COM
mittee also has been formed The IL
brary at present consists of about
1000 volumes, but this is only the MI
cleus of a much richer collection.
Help was received from the Catholic
Truth Societies of Ireland and Great
Britain; also from the United States
and France. In his inaugural address,
Father Brown said the Catholic reli-
gion was assailed not only by ignorant
| competitors but by men equipped with
all the resources of learning. Catho-
lies in Ireland had practically pro.
duced no writer's similarly equipped,
ready to stand up and meet these peo-
| pie on their own ground. The library
would be helpful to everybody whose
religious education was not complete
when he left school, and especially to
medical and other professional men.
cochin's Family Rebuilds Church.
| The family of the late Denys Cochin,
former cabinet minister of France, has
rebuilt the church in the devastated
village of Hardecourt-aux-Boi in the
department of the Somme. The new
| church was blessed by Mgr. Lecomte
Bishop of Amiens, on July 8, the an.
| of Hardecourt was recaptured by the
French in 1916, after desperate bat
tie in which Augustin Cochin, son OF
| M. Denys Cochin, was killed. The
spot on which he fell is marked by a
magnificent calvary, work of the ia
nous sculptor, Richard Desvallieres
erected in memory of the 1900 sol
diers who fell at Hardecourt Angus
tine Cochin was a scholar of note. He
had collected many notes and docu
ments dealing with the French Rev
olution, and the first studies publish
ed by him dealt a powerful blow tC
the authority of certain partial his
torians such as M. Aulard, who had
been one of the glories of the anti
clerical faction in higher education.
| Edifying Incident in Paris Church -
Those who through ignorance accuse
the Church of invariably catering tt
the well-to-do and disregarding the
poor would have been edited by ar
incident which occurred in the Basili
ca of Saint Denis on Corpus Christ
day. At the very hour the procession
was to start, an humble coffin, without
single mourner, was brought into {
side aisle of the church. The pries
pronounced the last prayers and gave
the last blessing, then turned to invite
those attending the funeral to wit
ness the aspersion, but there was NJ
one there to receive his appeal. Aft
