New Haven, Conn. Oct. 2 Twenty thousand bound volumes, several thousand pamphlets and a large amount of manuscript mater ial collected by four successive gen. erations of the Hillhouse family of New Haven have been purchased for the Yale Library by George Dudley Seymour, it was announced today by Yale University.
 The volumes have been gathered in the Manor House at Sachem's s Wood, which ha5 been in continu- ous possession of the Hillhouse fam fly since it was constructed about 1880. It stands at the head of Hill- house avenue in New Haven. MT. Seymour, lawyer, antiquarian and author, who secured the books for Yale, is a kinsman of President Charles Seymour.
 The range of the collection is wide and includes volumes of Revo- lutionary America. There are rep resented first editions of books on poetry, art, history, transportation and philosophy.
 To be known as the "Hillhouse Collection" with a bookplate depict ing the Manor House, the gift in cludes material from the time of James Abraham Hillhouse, Yale 1749. Here too is William Hill- houses day book recording his ac- counts with his clients, among whom was Benedict Arnold, then a mer- chant of New Haven. Representing the generation of Williams nephew James Hillhouse, the Patriot" !" Yale 1773, are number of volumes from famous Americans of the Rev. olutionary era including many presentation copies from the auth ors. This James was 4claSsmate ard correspondent of Nathan Hale to whom he wrote in 1774 Liberty is our reigning topic, which loudly calls upon every one to exert his l talents and abilities to the utmost in defendino of it-now is the time for heroes" There is a trunk of manuscripts by the poet, James Abraham HillhouSe, Yale 1908, show ing extensive reviSionS.
 Another Hillhouse, Augustus L., Yale 1910, spent more than decade in Paris just before the Revolution of 1880 and collected hundreds of books and pamphlets which were brought to New Haven. The last James 7Siilbonst Yale 1875, who | lived in the Manor House, was in serested in railroads and the rail- road collection alone has made the library widely known, containing as it does a large quantity of the earliest American pamphlets on railroads and canals. After 1900 MT. Hillhouse became more inter

of the Democratic party 5000 year - $S6.OOO in all for four years to be the political boss of his party, to play politics while holding a re- sponsible position, or are we paying him to be the boss of his party?
 The people can well ask, where does the business of the Motor Ve- hicle Department stop and where does the job of boss politician be- gin? The citizens and taxpayers have. a right to know whether the commissioners time is spent doing a job that the taxpayers pay $9,000 year for, or whether we are paying him to be political boss.

HeV'S'E AOlllSAy Catholics gem orally are acquainted with what is called the perfect Act of Contrition or the Act of Pure Love of God. It can be expressed simply in these words: My God love you because you are so good, and I am sorry for all my sins because love you" Those who say this prayer and be- lieve in the revelation of God, that He exists and that He rewards the good and punishes the wicked, may obtain through this prayer forgive ness for sins for which they are sir1- cerely sorry and which they are re- solved not to commit again. In other words the act of perfect contritior brings the sinner into the grace and friendship of God.
 In times of danger all of us should make this act of pure love. Our boys who are living their lives in danger, be they Catholic, Protestant or Jew, should be taught to ask Gods forgiveness through perfect contrition. For the asking the Rev. Edward F. Garesche, s. J., 10 West 17th St., New York, will send copies of this prayer and its explanation to all who request it. Because of this special apostolate of Father Gar esche, many who gave their lives in the last war repeated with their dy- ing breath the Act of Pure Love of God. In this war he is seeking CO., workers in this special apostolate. A SONG OF THE
 HUMBLE
 Approaching the tremendous sale of 100000 copies Franz Werfels lat est best seller proves again the pow erful appeal of a religious theme ex- pertly handled. It is the story of the apparitions of the Blessed Virgin to the girl Bernadette in 18th Century France, and it was written by MT. Werfel in fulf1llment of a VOW he made at Lourdes on the condition of his escape from France and the NaziS who sought him as an uncom- promising enemy.
 That a Jew, as MT. Werfel pro- fesses himself to be, should have such clear insight and understand ing of Catholic thought is remark able. But even more remarkable, however, is the fact that the narra- tive of a humble unknown girl with a story ordinarily accepted with con- descending tolerance by a sophisti- cated America should today find so wide a public accepting it with url- kindled praise.

Catholic Thought And Opinion.
By REV. JOSEPH E. DONNELLY

The book win do much good. Iiay- ing stress as it does on the virtues of the humble, the good and the un- known people whose lives of toll and labor and prayer are lifelong songs of praise to God, 1t should bring to many a more correct estimation of values and a conviction that many of the supports upon which they lean in their quest for happiness are but broken reeds which are unable to aid them on the pathway to true happi- ness. &
 COMMUNISM AND THE
 WAR
 We cannot too often point out the sneaky efforts being made by the Communists in this country to cap- italize on the position of Russia in the war. They are capitalizing, and their success is due to a great deal of loose and illogical thinking occa- stoned by our present relations with Russia.
 The defenders of Stalingrad are today the worlds heroes. They. and their felloW-countrymen who have fought for every inch of their home land have written courageous epic in military history.
 But the object of our criticism is not the Russian people but Com munisn1. Communism is not the creed of the Russian people; less than 5000, 900 of the l8O, 900 900 Rus sians ever deliberately accepted it. Christianity has opposed Connmun- ism since the days of Karl Marx. Communism is anti Christian and anti-American and those able to read the signs see g great and not wholly unsuccessful attempt being made to foist 1t upon the American people in the confusion of war.
 K. OF c.
 CONDEMNATION
 The Knights of Columbus in the recent national convention took a bold and unequivocable stand in their opposition to Communism. Congratulating them one of the best known newspapers of the south, The Commercial Appeal of Memphis, called their stand "a clear and forth- right declaration of unalterahle op- position to Communism which carl- not be reiterated too often"
 And the editorial goes on: Tt is not something to be confused with the war effort, or with RusSia'S stand in theawar. It deals with political philosophy whose followers would destroy the fundamentals of the American government and the Amer ican political systems that they might profit thereby. . It will not do to forget for one moment during the confusion attending the fighting of a total war, certain in sidious political activities which are ever present and which, unless al- ways kept in check. will take advant- age of the national preoccupation to further their own dirty ends."
 POSTSCRIPT
 And lest we forget them we might well add Attorney General Riddle words in which last May he de- scribed the purpose of the Commun- ist party in America as being from the time of its inception to the pres ent time an organization that be- lieveS in. advises, advocates and teaches the overthrow by force and violence of the Government of the l United States"

to point out one very e ellie n t manner in which we can aid them In their nne of duty. Tn the months to come the risking of their lives will be an every day oc- currence. It is the concern of all of us that in these hours of danger they be prepared to meet God.
