Our Catholic sisterhoods are the spe-
cial pride of every Catholic, for they
minister to every form of human need,
the refinement of the academy, the,
patience of the hospital, the humdrum
of the school, the misery of the howell.
Nothing above their attachments, moth
ing beneath their tenderness, for they
are the living expression of Gods an
gels. These ladies of education and
refinement count for nothing the tolls
of long day, provided that day has
broadened the smile of hope on the
face of a colored brother or sister, pro-
vided that day has shot ever so tiny
a ray of awakening intelligence into
the dark eye of the little Negro ba-

1--WE have to make the faith known
by speech, by writing and by life," said
the late Monsignor Benson. Very true;
but though comparatively few Cath
olics are called upon. to write or speak
about their faith, there is no Catholic
so remote or obscure who cannot make
the truth and beauty of the Church
known by life lived in accordance
with it's precepts. The power of the
press is great, and the power of the
spoken word is great, but the power OF
a good Catholic life to set forth the
strength and sweetness and attractive.

H. G. Wells is convinced that after
the war we have new world Where
upon Dean, Inge Of ST. Paul's Cathe-
dral, London, tartly retorts that there
is no new world, but only the old
world consisting of human nature and
inhuman nature, neither of which is at
all likely to alter His Outlines of
History" should have taught Wells that
the new-world expectations of the past

New York, to stimulate the building
of dwellings, has provided for the ex
emption from taxation for ten years. OF
| all dwellings to the value of $4,000
built between April i, 1920, and April

following this action, new dwellings
were constructed to care for $500 fam

success of this venture tends to prove
the fallacy of our present systema Of

| Tom Watson, the Georgia senator
who died suddenly at his home in
Washington recently, was the most no
torious anti-Catholic in America. Fol
years he had used his wonderful in
tellect in fighting the Catholic Church
and there was every reason to believe
that he did it merely because he found
that it was financially profitable.
/ Years ago, despite his public atti
tude against the Church, he sent hi.
daughters to a Catholic convent to b,
educated. He knew that they would
be turned out as better women Their,
than at any other place that he coult
send them. The Register always rath
er doubted this, it seemed so strange
but a few months ago had it verified
by J. A. Gallagher, prominent Denve
attorney and hotel man, who had rel
