NEEDED SPIRIT
III Madison Square Garden last
week the knights Of Pythias at q
benefit for war work honored the
two mothers Of New York city who
had given the largest number Of
children TO the United States armed
services The two honored we're
both Catholics, Mrs. Emma Van
Courtren who has eleven OF her
twelve children In the services, and
Mrs. Charles Carey who has six Of
her fourteen. That the Knights
OF Pythias should step aside to
honor two Catholic mothers Is an
encouraging sign OF the hoped-for
good will that must be very gen
crously laid IN the foundation Of
any better postwar world.
We met another sign OF the same
spirit recently. On the occasion
OF the annual communion breakfast
Of ST. Mary's parish, In Stamford,
the largest Of such gatherings in
the diocese, the non-Catholic police
men OF the city volunteered to take
over oil duties for the Sunday morn
ing 80 that the Catholic policemen
might attend the breakfast.

Catholic Thought And Opinion
By REV. JOSEPH F. DoNNELLY

quoted have been published many
times in the past, each time lead
ing to the same conclusion.
The Don Bosco Bulletin, a Cath
ole bl-monthly paper edited and
printed by the inmates of the Ell
mira Reformatory carries the In
teresting statistics in an article by
the chaplain OF the Reformatory,
Father Francis j. Lane. First, of 247
inmates received as Catholics in
1912 only 81 or about % per cent
ever attended a Catholic school.
Only "a or per cent had spent six
or more years in Catholic school
and but 8 of the 247 had received
all Of their education In a Catholic
atmosphere. 1855 of the 247 had
never received any Catholic educa-
ton and were most likely OF the
Baptized Catholic" species, men
baptized Catholics but never given
an opportunity to learn and ap-
preciate the teachings Of the
church. Moreover, If Elmira follows
the common pattern, large por-
tlon OF the 1876 had never even been
baptized.
PRISON STATISTICS
The prison statistics Oh the re-
ligion OF many criminals arc value
less. They afiix denomination TO
the report with the same ruthless
ness with which they perform q
crime. We heard once from prison
chaplain OF q murderer who when
asked II he ever went to Church
replied: mo. but my mother went
once and 1t might have been
Catholic church.
A more recent and striking ex-
ample was the case Of the opposite
brothers who brutally killed three
men In q Manhattan hold-up. Some
years ago when one OF them was
being parolled, the late Commits
sioner Canavan, noticing that he
was listed as Catholic" asked
him II he ever went to Church. He
replied Never" Asked why he had
listed himself as q Catholic the
youth replied that the question
called for an answer and that was
the first that came into his head.
The second brother, seriously In
jured In the hold-up, was visited by
q priest In the hospital. Looking up
and seeing the priest the gangster
barked out bitterly: II haven't seen
one Of you guys In thirty years and
! don't want TO see you now
Perhaps he too was listed as a
Catholic
THE REAL CATHOLIC
But there Is noble and little
known incident IN the tragedy en-
acted by the Espositos. One Of their
victims was Ofilcer Edward p. Ma
her who In fidelity TO his oath Of
Office gave his life In the perform
ance OF his duty OF protecting the
lives and property Of the city and
ITS citizens. officer Mahcr was u
Fifth Avenue cop whose friendly
cheerfulncss won him a host OF
friends. But more important. MS n
good Catholic he lived prepared 10
die. He attended Mass daily and he
received Communion weekly. He
was q regular retreatant and his
manly faith awoke admiration and
inspiration among his friends.
AS Officer Maher lived 80 he died
When the uniform glove was re-
moved from his cold and lIfelesS
hand, hidden beneath that glove,
clutched In the grip Of death was
