ORIGIN OF LIBERTY
NEW K. OF c. MONOGRAPH
TRACES RISE OF IDEA-FoRM.
Err PROTESTANT BISHOP is
AUTHOR. t &; @s r

The first complete study of the
origin and development of the char
tiers of liberty Of the different nations
Of the world has been reduced to a
monograph and issued by the knights
of Columbus American History commits.
sion. Dr. Frederick Joseph Kinsman,
former Protestant Episcopal Bishop of
Delaware, is author of the monograph
entitled Charters of Liberty" which
the Knights of Columbus will dis
tribute in hundreds of thousands of
copies throughout the country.
The analysis Of the growth of
liberty in Dr. Kinsman's work shows
that the popular supposition that the
Magma Charta is the source of modern
democratic constitutions, is erroneous.
While the Great Charter was a de-
cided advance, the monograph newly
isued by the K. of G. shows the idea
of liberty, as protected by constitu.
tons today, was known in distant
pagan times, but did not begin its full
development until the Christian era,
which purified the idea and made it
permanent. The charters of liberty
which preceded the Magma Charta, as
well as those which followed, from
all of which the American constitution
was derived, are recorded and describ'
ed by DR.. Kinsman.

The meeting itself started rather
inauspiciously when the hooded lead

the Loyal Coalition, presided. The
principal speaker of the evening was

who announced that he is a member
of the Baptist Church. He launched
into the customary denunciation of
Catholics and Jews and specially con-

K. c. EVENING SCHOOLS
CROWDED

ThrongS Of ex-service men and large
numbers of women presented them
selves as registrants at the Knights of
Columbus Free Evening School for
ex-seryice men and women when the
classes opened for the fourth year of
the institution i'm the city Of Chicago.
There is room for ten thousand stu.
dents in the three schools, located
convenient to transportation on three
sides of the city and the registration
of the first week indicated that the
capacity of the schools might be tax
ed before all applicants had been &C
commodated.
Besides the ex-service students,
large number of civilian men and wom-
en-, who are required to pay tuition
fee sufficient to cover the additional
cost, were among the registrants. The
work of the schools during the three
previous years has attracted them to
this institution in preference to the
many other night schools public and
private, that are open In Chicago.
"The knights of Columbus Free

ut appears to me quite clear that
any church claiming to be an author

when great questions of public morals
are put. Can go in for cannibalism
or the murder of babies to reduce the
population, or any other scientific and
progressive reform? Any Church

whether it can be done. But the Prot

ment on these moral questions.

1t is perfectly true that there are in

is, the Church of England does not

UNFAD|NG ROSES

b Roses that will never fade are the
prayers that the devoted clients of
Mary offer up to their Mother, declar-
ed the Most Rev. John J. Glennon,
Archbishop of st. Louis, in preaching
on this October devotion in St. Louis
Cathedral.
"A week or so ago." said Archbish-
OPP Glennon, II was out in the country,
in southern Missouri, giving confrma-
lions and visiting the various church
es. / noticed along the way by the
farmhouses that the roses were still
blooming and that almost every cot
tage home had its bower Of roses. I
come to the city and the roses are
dead. Why? Perhaps because we
have no homes, no front porches, no
place for the roses to grow; or per-
haps the atmosphere is not suited to
the growing of roses in the city. How
ever it be, we are going to gather a
few roses and bring them up to offer
to Mary, our Mother, our Queen
roses which shall never fade.
"The rosary rises from the heart
1t is the prayer that comes from the
|child to his father, to his mother. 1t
is the cry for help. 1t is the repeti
ton of the prayer which the angels
sang. Repetition does not mean pow
erty of thought. When our Lord went
through into the Garden of Gethsem
ane, pressed down with the sins and
mockery of the world, when after
ward He found His apostles asleep, in
that agony of His-and they say agony

A REBUKE FROM THE OUT
SIDE.
Do We Deserve It?

No one can fail to be impressed
by the current accounts in our
Catholic newspapers and maya
zines Of the missionary activities
in all parts of the world. The
sense of great things doing in the
living Church Of God, now as in
the heroic days of old. under the
abiding power and action Of the
Holy Ghost, is compelling. It
comes from what our Holy Father,
Plus XI. in his Pentecostal adj
dress of this year, called the
Charity of Faith and Salvation
acquired through the merits of
the precious Blood Of the Re-
deemer. If but a spark of zeal
for the cause of Christ is en-
kindled by our growing knowl-
edge of the missions, we shall
heartily acquiesce in what the
Holy Father also urged on the
occasion mentioned: "For the
FAITH that we have received from
God, let us cooperate and give
Faith to other souls. For the
treasures of grace with which God
has overwhelmed us, let us co
operate by carrying these treas
ures to the utmost distances and

Mr.. Chesterton gave me an inter
view in his country home at Beacons-
field today and told me the reasons
for his conversion. He said:
II always believed in the Catholic
view Of Christianity, at least I have
believed it for twenty years. Unless
the Church Of England was branch
of the Catholic Church, I had no use
for it. If it were Protestant Church.
did not believe in it. In any case
the question is whether the Church OF
England can claim to be in direct de
scent from the medieval Catholic
Church. That is the question for ev
cry Anglo-Catholic or High Church
man."
With characteristic paradox, Mr.
Chesterton went on to say that it was
leading Protestants who had convert
