n YOUNG lady reader shns asked us
4 \ to write something about Sim
pIicity. Perhaps she is that rarity
among modern women who has grown
tired Of the tinsel and showsOf the life
OF today and wants to hear about
something less complicated something
more utter the fashions and thoughts
Of our grandmothers times.
But we are not going to write OF
simplicity in dress, or simplicity in so
cial customs. We are going to refer
the young lady to three things which
seem In all the worlds complications
10 be the best examples of simplicity
that we can think of.
First we ask her TO consider a child.
Jesus said, Suffer little children to
come unto me for OF such are the
Kingdom of Heaven" The great
teacher did not mean that heaven was
peopled by little ones. But he did
mean! that the minds ief those who
had attained supreme happiness had
the simplicity. the goodness, the love,
fhe trustfulness HliichSis characteris-
tic Of the child. -
Study the mind of a child and you
will marvel at the simplicity and d.
rectness of its reasnoning.
Innocence IL not necessarily ignor-
ance any more than ignorance is nee
essarily Innocence. N
The, simplest man who ever lived
was Jesus Christ. His occupation of
carpenter was as modest as any Of
His time. But by His recorded words
are best shown the simplicity of His
thoughts. What prayer could he
simpler than the one which He left
for all mankind to repeat? What ser.
mon could be more direct than His
mastery utterance on the Mount9
What could be more comprehensive
than the parallels by which He
taught? And what more grandly

the king was cheering news for the
public, while in palace circles there
was an air of greater optimism. al
though it has been repeatedly made
clear that anxiety must continue un-
til the patient has gained sufficient
strength to convince his physicians
that he is able to carry through to
recovery.
The physicians consultation at the
palace this morning lasted rather
longer than usual.
Sir Staney Hewett and Lord Daw-
son OF Penn, the kings regular ply

Eastern Gslicia. the homeland Of the

churches and schools came under
the immediate jurisdiction Of the

began to curb some Of the rights OF
the minority. The priests there had
their hands tied by the government
and could do nothing but protest.
the protestations being Of no avail.
he added. 1t was then that the peo-
Pile turned to their friends and rela-
tives in this country for Intervention.
The Ukrainian church in America.
since 1908. was without a bishop. an
administrator being appointed until
Bishop Bochachewsky's arrival.
whose appointment It Is claimed was
pressed by the Polish government.
Upon his arrival, the priests and
their congregations sought relief OF
him and asked him to intervene,
hut he was adamant. 1t is alleged.
No one with the intentions Of
broaching the subject OF lettering
conditions for their friends across
the sea, was granted an audition
with the bishop. and consequently
friction arose, it Is said. People be-
gan to murmur and finally sought
relief OF their pastors. but they too
found the doors to the chancery
closed. These conditions persisted
until talk of breaking away from
the mother church became a CONF
mon topic OF discussion in the vari-
GUS parishes. One by one the differ
ent parishes throughout the country
began to break away, and today
there are only between 80 and 35
parishes cut OF nearly 100 that are
still under the bishops jurisdiction
and Rome. all the rest having sew
cred relations with the mother
church and existing Independently.
1t was thought at first when the
parishes began to break away. that
this means of protest against the
bishop and his methods Of treating
his charges, would result in some
reaction on the part of Rome, and
that Bishop Bochachewsky would
be removed and someone else placed
in his stead, but until now, nothing
has been done, and as time goes on
other parishes are breaking away. 1t
is reported, while those still under
the bishops jurisdiction are balanc-
ing and it is predicted that in the
near future the Ukrainian Greek
Catholic church Of America will be
left without a member.
