GERMAN CATHEDRAtS
OLD CHURCHES IN NEED OF RE.
PAlR--HAVE HISTORIC MEM
DRIES.

(By N. C. w. C. News Service.)
Several German Cathedrals and
monumental buildings, precious herit
ages of Roman occupation and the
Middle Ages, are in a condition OF
dangerous decay. for want of repairs
which the people are too poor to
make. From many cities of Germany
comes word that these wonderful
specimens of Roman and medieval
architecture are in bad state.
Notable among the churches which
need renovation is the Cathedral al
AlX-le-Chapelle, that wonderful mas
terpiece Of Byzantine-Gothic reared
by Charlemagne and for so long a
time the scene of the coronation OF
the German kings. Much money and
work is needed also to restore the
Cologne Cathedral, the largest and
most important edifice of the kind in
Germany. The well known church
has been empty for long time, and
even the old picturesque windows
which were taken away during the
war to save them from ruin, have not
been replaced.
The magnificent "Bergischer Dorm
in Altenberg, on the Rhine, where
since the twelfth century the Counts
of Berg have been buried, is likewise
in disrepair. 1t was there that ST
Engelbert's bloody corpse was taken
after he had been killed by the am
bilious Count Ysenburg in 1925. There
is need for restoring in part the
Cathedral of Worms and that of Han
ten on the Niedershein.

HOMES FOR CARDINALS

Two floors in the huge building
where the Holy Office has it's head
quarters are being adapted as habita-
tions, and it is understood, may be
used as homes for cardinals who must
live in Rome, thereby taking care of
a veXatious question.
The princes of the Church are not
rich, and whenever new cardinals are
created the question of where they
shall live always arises. Four apart
ments therefore are being made OF the
two floors of the Holy Office building,
and it is understood these will be oc-
cupied by cardinals.
Many of the prelates have already
taken advantage of the permission OF
the late Pope to take exercise on foot
if they find the. keeping or hire of
carriage or motor beyond them.

THE DIVINE FAREWELL.

Jesus had filled three years to
overfiowing with words and deeds
of wisdom and power. No human
ailment Of body, soul or mind
had escaped the tender ministra-
tons of His charity. He had
fought the good fight, had finish
ed His course and made solid the
faith of His followers. The hour
OF departure was approaching.
For forty days after the wonder
full resurrection He came and went
among the apostles and disciples.
He spoke and ate with them; re-
minded them of their mission, elu-
cidated the Scriptures, and finally
prepared to leave them to carry
on the work Of salvation without
His physical presence.
And He led them out as far
as Bethania, says st. Luke
and lifting up His hands He
blessed them. And it came to
pass while He blessed them, He
departed from them, and was car
ried up into heaven.
These few words briefly pic
ture the last moments of the
Saviour with His friends. In a
single line they describe what an
ordinary author would require a
volume to reveal: He was car.
ried up into heaven. Again the
Redeemer made use Of that power
which had raised Him from the
depths Of the tomb. This fare.

BISHOPS ON IRELAND

to have to use the language of con-
domination, but principles are now be-
ing openly defended and acted upon
which are in fundamental conflict
with the law of God, and which, as
bishops and pastors appointed to safe
guard Christian morals, we cannot al
low to pass without solemn censure
and reprobation.
Army Not The Master.
foremost amongst these principles
is the claim that the Army, or part
of it, can, without any authority from
the nation as whole, declare itself
independent of all civil authority in
the country. The Army, as whole,
and still more part of the Army, has
no such moral right. as. s-
Such a claim is a claim to military
despotism, and subversive of all civil
liberty. 1t is an immoral usurpation
and confiscation of the peoples
rights.
More than any other order in So
ciety, the Army, from the very nature
| of it's institution, is the servant and
| not the master of the nations Govern
| ment, and revolt against the supreme
authority set up by the people is
nothing less than a sacrilege against
| national freedom
! Shameful War.
| GAS to the organ of supreme au-
thority in this country at present,
whatever speculative views may be
held upon the subject in practice,
there can be no doubt as long as the
Dali and the Provisional Government
act in unison as they have hitherto
| done.
| I'VE beg the young men connected
with this military revolt to consider
religiously our solemn teaching on
this fundamental maxim of social
morality, otherwise they will involve
themselves and their followers in
conscientious defects of the grayest
character, for when in prosecution of
these principles they proceed to make
shameful war upon their own country
they are parricides and not patriots.
When they shoot their brothers on
the opposite side they are murderers.
When they injure public and private
property they are robbers and
brigands bound to restitution--all sins
and crimes of the most heinous guilt.
| Appeal to Young Men.
"It pains us to the heart to think
of our fine young boys, with their
generous instincts, being mixed up in
this network of scandalous and in
calculable criminality. In Gods name,
we implore them to return to their
innocent homes, rather than poison
their lives and load their consciences
for eternity with such a grievous re-
sponsibility. -
IF their passion for an Irish Re-
public is wisely conceived, their day
will come in Gods good providence.
We repeat that the legitimate and
constitutional way to settle this M
tional question, the one road to peace,
and ultimately to a wider Ireland, is
to leave it to the decision of the ma
ton in a general election, as ordered
by the existing Government, and the
sooner that election is held the bet
ter for Ireland and for all classes in
it.. for in the meantime not only are
life and property insecure and de-

"The modern bishop is bust
ness man, an administrator and
executive. Particularly, he is the
trouble man of a large corpora
ton. All the Church quarrels
gather about his devoted head. He
has the responsibility for every
thing that goes wrong, often with
out the authority to set anything
right" So says Episcopal Bishop
Williams of Oregon. And he con-
tinues: Gin the midst of all this
distraction and dissipation, he is
expected to find time and mind to
be a preacher and teacher, a
scholar and a leader, and above
all, a man of prayer and a man
of God!" This is true to some
extent of our Catholic Bishops
though usually they have the
authority to right things.

Improvement in the relations be.
tween the forces of the Provisional
Government and the Republicans, and
the promise of permanent peace as
the fruit of the present truce are
ascribed to the wise counsels of the
Irish Bishops. References to the re.
cent meeting of the Irish Hierarchy
in Maynooth and to the statement
they issued, have been made in cable
dispatches. The full text of this
statement, which is now about to be
published here, is as follows:

the grace in these Easter days to
have the stone rolled back, wheth-

that keeps him tombed in his own
selfishness, is certainly wasting

Citizen. On the other hand, the
Catholic who, like an angel from

that imprisons some other heart
is at once winning Easter gladness
