come its president until his res
ignation in 1918.
At his own desire he was given
a permanent residence at Mount
st. Mary, where he preferred to
teach. His associations and con-
facts in Maryland gave him an
unusual insight into the general
conditions of the church in
America. 1t was because of this
and because of his profound
learning and sanity character
that he was chosen first bishop
of the new Diocese of Vincennes.
At the time of his conservation,
the new bishop had but two
regular priests. Therefore, he re-
solved early to go back to his
native France for more help. He
needed financial assistance, yes,
but mainly, he wanted more
priests for his growing diocese.
He therefore appointed Father
Lalumiere as executor and deed
ing him all the church property,
he sailed for France Aug. 8, 1885.
He visited Rome on that trip and
laid before the Sacred Congrega-
ton a general report of the
Church in the United States, of
which he could so we'll speak.
So successful was his mission
in France that on May 80, 1886,
when he was ready to depart for
his diocese in America he brought
with him some twenty-five mis-
SionarieS, most of whom were
destined to play an important
part in the Development of the
new diocese.
Among the young priests he
brought with him were M. Celes-
tin de la Hailandiere and M.
Maurice de st. Palais, both of
whom were later to become
bishops of Vincennes. Other
priests that were later to figure in
history were: M. Comte du Merle,
M. Julian Benoit, M. Anthony
Parrett, M. Louis Neyron, M. John
Corbe, M. Bernard Schaeffer, M.
Louis Mueller, M. John Vabret, M.
StanislauS ButeuX, M. Maurice
Berrel, M. Vincent Bacquelin, M.
Michael Shave and NJ. Benjamin
Petit. Francis A. Bessonies, who
came later to the Diocese, was left
by the bishop at st. Sulpice,
France, to complete his studies.
THUS with patience, piety and
l. many privations did the
sanity Brute try to spread the
gospel in his fast growing terri
tory of Indiana and Illinois. The
first priests and Seminarians he
brought with him were not
enough. On Jan. 7, 1887, he wrote
to the Leopoldine Society in
Austria for financial assistance.
In his letter he enumerated the
meager number of priests in his
dioceSe-fourteen in all, including
himself, as follows:
Il. In Fl. Wayne, Father Muel-
Ter, who has most of the Germans
in his mission.
80. In Chicago, Father Schaefer,
who likewise very laudably directs.
the Germans.
g. At the same place, Father st.
Cyr, whose guidance of the French
and Americans is also very praise
worthy.

Expert RoutS Girls Selling
Machine Work from
Statehouse.

When you are selling genuine
handmade Irish lace" manu-
featured on some of the best lace
making machines in America, it is
well to stay away from the state
house.
For in the state conservation de-
partment there is a pert little Irish
lady who knows her laceS. Her
name is Mrs. Kathleen Hogan and
she speaks with a fine brogue,
despite the fact that she was born
in England of Irish parents.
In addition, she has an Irish
temper and she doesn't like to see
disparaged so substantial an Irish
industry as lace making.
Thus it was that recently she
made two Irish girls give back
money they had collected from
some employees in the state library
and drove them out of the building
for being takers.
They we're Irish girls, all right,
Mrs, Hogan said. But they came
down from Canada and were selling
machined lace which never crossed
an ocean, no more than had they

BY WALTER d. HICKMAN

BY WALTER ID. HICKMAN
T HAVE before me a modern
Il book which deals with those
moments in the life of Jesus which
the world observed last week.
The name of the book is Jesus:
A Sisters Memories" as written
by DR.. George William Gerwig
and published by the RoycrofterS
as a companion volume to Ebert
Hubbard's Man of Sorrows"
DR.. Gerwig has had the idea
for years of showing how those
who lived under the same roof
when Jesus was a boy would write
of Him from brother or a sis
ter viewpoint
So this author has written
"Jesus: A Sisters Memories" as
he suppoSeS "the eldest sister of
Jesus" would write her impress
SionS.
The right to do this is protect
ed, according to the author, in
Matthew 1856 And his sisters,
are they not with us?"
Again in John 21:25, 20:30-
There are many other things
that Jesus did which are not re-
corded"
DR.. Gerwig contends in his
foreword that doubtless these all
but unknown sisters of Jesus grew
up in the carpenters family at
Nazareth. They would hear direct
from their mother the marvellous
story of the Babe in the Manger,
of the three and holy men who
came from the east bearing gifts,
of the flight into Egypt, of all
this mothers love and hope for
her wondrous son."
And so, DR.. Gerwig creates in
a human way, what this sister,
Miriam, reveals" concerning the
sacred memories of her brother.
The reader Immediately en-
counters this statement at the be-
ginning of the narrative-"Al-
though 1 am the eldest sister of
Jesus, I have little hope of tell
ing in words what He was like,
When Jesus himself was so little
understood"
Then the eldest sister Of Jesus
describes Him when very young as
different from other children"

She maintains that He grew tall
for his age and that He was
much taller than two of His other
brothers.
She recalls that His hair had
CLINT of gold" and that His eyes
resembled his mothers because
they had "a CLEAN in them"
EVEN this sister of Jesus ad-
IL mitS that she had a child'S
curiosity concerning her remark
able brother. She often asked
her mother concerning His strange
birth.
She relates that her mother
told her at various times the
story Of the birth of Jesus"
Then the wondrous story was
told and retold as Miriam grew,
understood and observed her
brother.
She relates the instances when
Jesus proved His great learning
and understanding when a very
young boy before men of great
education of that day.
The sister never loses track of
the influences that the mother
had on Jesus. She records the
first real trouble" that came into
their home. That was illness of
their father, Joseph, who sick
ened and suddenly died"
She tells what Jesus did at that
time-"Jesus went. for hours, to
His seat in the lea of the rock
on the hilltop"
And then this marvelously hui
man observed: 'It was years be-
fore Our Father who is in heaven
were revealed to Him through His
experience with our earthly ia
Their, Joseph"

things right. 1 do not hold any
malice in my heart toward any one.
1 read your column daily and must
say you are doing your bit for hu-
man kind. TEACHER.
AnSWer-Why don't you sug-
gest to your divorced husband
that you get away from both your
families and start life afresh?
What you do is no business of
your families on either side. If
your husband has not learned to
do without family advice, you
have small chance for success in
a second trial
I do not know what his COM
plants against you are and there
fore can not give a fair answer
to your question. My impression
is that both of you are acting like
a pair of stubborn children who
have not learned to give and take.
Your immature attitude has
turned your marriage into a pri-
vate war between egoS. If you
still love each other, and have
learned your lesson by your sep
aration, surely you can arrange a
compromise. Or perhaps some
close friend can arrange it for
you.
Dear Jaue Jordan-I have read
the letter to you criticising and con-
demning you until I fairly sizzle
with disgust at the stupidity of what
think is pure male bull-headed-
ness. Your critics can't seem to
understand that you do not encour-
age young people to have intimate
relations. You tell them in a tact
full way that they are too young to
undertake such responsibilities; that
when they are older they will know
better whether they can take the
rebuffS Of society when they in
dulge in something which is con-
sidered not the right thing to do in
this stage of civilization.
The thing these critics can't see
is that you don't believe in kicking
person when he's down. We take
an erring son back into the fold, but
We only give our erring female an
other kick. Miss Jordan. you have
the patience of a saint! NJ. K. A.
Answer-Thank you for your
letter. Those who do not agree
with YOU are invited to write and
say why they do not.
