QUESTION
Miracles have this place in relig
ion: the religion in favor of which
1 hey are wrought must be true, must
come from God. must he God's re
ligion, because God is the worker of
miracles. A miracte is an unusual,
an extraordinary effect produced in
the world, above the powers of na
lire, or contrary to the ordinary
course of nature, performed by God,
or at His command and with His
permission. The place of miracles in
religion follows from the fact that
God could not perform a miracle in
favor of error, nor would He permit
a creature to work a miracle to pat
ionize falsehood, nor in such a man
ner as to deceive His children and
lead them astray. In every real
miracle, therefore, we have the finger
of God and an evidence of the true
religion. The greatest difficulty in
this matter consists in our relative
Unorance of the powers of nature
but this ignorance is, relative only.
We may not know all that nature
can do, but we do know many things
i hat nature cannot do. Nature can
eal: but nature cannot heal organic
diseases in an instantaneous manner,
i or with instruments altogether un
suitable to the task. The Church pro
ecds very slowly in the judgment of
alleged miracles and requires an
amount and a variety of evidence
hat seems exaggerated. The fact of
a miracle is judged on evidence, just
as any other fact. Testimony must
l-e submitted and corroborated, wit
nesses must be heard and cross-ex
amined, the circumstances, time,
i lace and manner of the alleged
henomenon must be considered.
When it is evident, beyond all doubt,
hat a cure, let us say, has taken
lace—a cure that cannot be ex
lained by the powers of nature—we
an advance^ but one explanation, and
mat is the interposition of God. Thus,
when St. Peter cured the lame man
at. the gate of the Temple (Acts III),
e have a miracle no natural ex
planation will suffice for the manner
i'f that healing. God healed that man
pirough the Apostle therefore God
i- with the religion that the Apostle
!reached, and the Christian religion
i God's religion. Numerous miracles
lave marked the progress of the
atliolic religion: the shrine at
i .ourdes is an instance of what I
mean. God must be with that re
ligion. it is His own religion. That
i- the place miracles occupy in re
ligion. They are extraordinary but
iiey are real and true.
In order to gain indulgences is it
necessary for a person who is a fre
quent or daily communicant to go to
confession (when free from mortal
tin) on the day of gaining the indul
gence, or would it suffice to communi
cate and fill the other requirements?
Do I make i.he nine first Fridays if
I go to communion on those days, but
do not go to confession?
In this department. uueNtinn* RenrrHl ini.-ros» in regard to religion will be
ntinwrreil eaoh week in the order In vrlileh they are received. All communi
cations must be aliened, though the name will not be published. Address:
"Question and Answer," care The Catholic Bulletin, 315 Newton Hldg., Jit. l'aul.
What place have miracles in re
ligion? I know that our Lord worked
miracles and that the saints of the
Church performed them. But what
do they prove, and how can we prove
them
The ordinary conditions for gain
ing an indulgence are confession,
communion, and other prescribed
works, such as visits to a certain
church, the giving of alms, praying
for the Pope, etc. Your query re
gards the confession. The first Fri
day indulgences may be gained with
out previous confession. The new
Code of Canon, or Church, Law an
swers your query in the following
words: "To gain any indulgence, the
required confession may be made
within eight days of the day to which
(he indulgence is affixed communion
may be received within two days of
the indulgence-day and both may be
made within the octave following the
least, or indulgence day." "The faith
ful who usually go to confession at
least twice a month, and to com
munion every day (although once or
twice a week they may abstain from
communion) can gain all indulgences
without actual confession which
otherwise is prescribed an exception
is made for jubilee indulgences."
(Canon 931). The reason for these
concessions is, of course, patent. It
is to reward those who respond to
the invitation of the Church and the
call of God for frequent, communion
and who might not always find it
possible or convenient to go to con
fession on the day preceding the day
of the indulgence. In a few words,
the rule is this: All who are accus
tomed to go to confession about
twice a month, and to communion
practically every day, may gain all
the indulgences during that period,
except the indulgence of the jubilee.
How can the water of baptism take
away sin?
By the power of God. If some
man, of his own authority, proclaim
ed the doctrine of baptism, we would
refuse to hear him but when God
teaches that doctrine, we must accept
it, or reject God. The real crux of
the question is not the water of bap
tism, but the power of God. No one
doubts that if God had desired to es
tablish some other way for the for
giveness of original sin, He could
have done so but we are confronted,
not with a theory, but with a fact.
An example will clarify. On one oc
casion, Christ met a blind man, who
asked to be cured of his affliction.
Now, Christ could have healed him
with a single word, or without utter
ing a syllable but He did not will
to do so. He spat upon the ground
and made some spittle He took that
spittle and rubbed it on the eyes of
the blind man He groaned, and ut
tered the command, and the m^n was
healed. So, too, Christ coul( have
pome otber condition be­
ANSWER.
side baptism with water but why
bother about what Christ might have
done and could have done, when we
know that He actually did command:
"Unless a man be born of water and
the Holy Ghost, he cannot enter the
kingdom of Heaven?" In reality.
Christ manifested His wisdom in so
decreeing for we are composed of
body as well as of soul, we are mate-'
rial as well as spiritual. Water to us
is a sign of cleansing, and baptism
cleanses the soul from the stain of
original sin.
Why is it that a murderer can be
forgiven when a man married to a
divorced woman cannot?
A murderer can be forgiven be
cause he can repent. A Catholic liv
ing with a divorced wonian cannot be
forgiven because he cannot repent as
long as the parties continue to live
together. To get pardon for a sin
one must not only regret the sin, but
he must give it up.

Ideals for Catholic Young
Women
its graduates for the different depart
ments of human achievement, but it
aims higher still. It has in view all
human relationships both to the world
around us and to the world beyond us.
It attends to body and soul, earth and
heaven, the emancipation from the
bonds of ignorance, and the attainment
of the supernatural destiny. And
other things, being equal its teachers
are the best. The consecrated mem
bers of our teaching communities in
whom intellectual power and religious
fervor arc united are the ideal teach
ers.
Their Motive is the Highest.
They labor not for the things that
perish, but for the indestructible re
ward—"the pearl of great price."
The priests, the brothers, and the
sisters in charge of our universities
a:id colleges and academies and
schools are not only actuated by the
natural reasons which are incentives
to labor with every human being, but
they are also inspired by higher con
siderations. They are animated chief
ly by the supernatural motive of con
secrating themselves to the training
oi' youth as a life-long profession out
of love for God. All their best ener
gies are spent on their pupils. All
their, highest ambitions are centered
in the class-room. In the bright morn
ing of life they severed the fondest
ties that bind human nature in order
that all the love of their pure hearts
might be in their noble calling. With
them teaching is not used as a make
shift—as a stepping-stone to other
slates in life but it is followed as
their chosen profession, as their cher
ished life-work, as their religious voca
tion. The results of their training
eloquently tell of their success. ,An
incident from history will serve as an
illustration of my thought. Phidias
the famous sculptor of Ancient Greece
i: said to have inserted his own like
ness into one of his master-pieces so
artfully that it could not be effaced
without destroying the whole statue.
Ladies and gentlemen, need I remind
you that there is many a Phidias in
our schools and academies and col
leges and universities—devotedly la
boring for the realization of Christian
ideals—producing grander works than
Greciau sculptor ever dreamed of?
The Sisters of St. Joseph have been
at, work among you for years fashion
ing masterpieces in human conduct—
building up Christian character—fur
nishing leaders and exemplars among
women on whom they stamp indelibly
the likeness of the Divine Sculptor,
the supreme original of all goodness
and truth and beauty—on whom they
put the impress of their own beauti
ful lives—the impress of truest,
gentlest, purest, noblest womanhood.
Fine Arts.
Not less admirable has been the
Church's encouragement of the fine
arts in the furtherance of individual
culture. You who have received dip
lomas in the Normal Arts Depart
ment have specialized in the domain
of Art. Art surrounds human exist
ence with an atmosphere of charm and
dignity. Undeniable is its value to a
nation. Not her heroes but art made
Greece immortal. Not the Duke of
Wellington but Shakespeare is the
glory of England. Dante, Michael An
gelo, Rafael, Palestrina and countless
others have made Italy the native
land of the fine Arts—the home by ex
cellence of man's expressions of the
beautiful.
Christianity encouraged art from the
beginning. No other institution has
ever fostered art like the Catholic
Church. She has been its highest in
spiration and most generous patron.
She turned Europe into a vast studio
and transfoumed our forefathers into
architects and sculptors and painters
and musicians and poets and orators
and artisans such as the world had
never seen. Her promotion of the fine
arts is one of the most wonderful
achievements in all history—a fact for
which mankind owes a debt of deep
est gratitude. The Church and Art
have always worked together for hu
man refinement, enlightenment and
betterment. They were together in
the catacombs of Rome when Chris
tian Art was in its cradle. They were
together throughout those long and
glorious centuries known as the Mid
dle Ages, when Master-pieces were
produced which have since been the
admiration and the despair of human
genius. And still today they are to
gether in all her homes of study as we
find them united here in this progres­
sive college on the banks of the Mis
sissippi.
The panorama of her artistic crea
tions rises before us out of a glorious
past. When we behold her sacred
paintings like those of Fra Angelico,
Raphael, Murillo, Rubens, Millet—all
breathing the air of heaven when we
admire her celebrated cathedrals and
churches of the world from St. Peter's
in Rome to St. Paul's in Minnesota—
all pointing eloquently to the life be
yond when we stand before her inim
itable statues so true to life that we
would be inclined to command them
to speak when we hear the wondrous
compositions of hef Palestrinas, Ros
sinis, Gounods, all resonant with the
harmonies of the better country in
presence of the vast array of her ar
tistic wonders, would we voice the
feelings of gratitude that fill our hearts,
our tongues must halt for words and
we can only mutter: "God bless Thee
for it. Holy Church of Rome, God
bless Thee for it!"
B. A. Degrees.
Young women, I congratulate you
on having received your B. A. degrees.
Your college course, which has intro
duced you to the society of the bright
est minds of all the ages—the aristoc
racy of intellect, has endowed you
with the power, the refinement, the
breadth of vision, the range of knowl
edge, the culture of a liberal educa
tion. Your study of the humanities
has developed, refined and enriched
your minds. With such a training life
will mean more to you than to the mul
titude. After having acquired a lib
eral education—after having laid the
foundation of broad culture, you can
apply yourselves to special subjects
with greater profit and with a firmer
grip. There is a practical side to
education which should not be neg
lected, especially in our matter-of-fact
age in which the struggle for a liveli
hood is so fierce and heartless. As
true culture is not incompatible with
specialization, I would advise you to
pursue further studies with a definite
object before you, with the practical—
the utilitarian directly in view. I be
lieve it is Edison who said: "This
one thing I know—electricity." Now
a question. What one thing do you
know that will enable you to support
yourselves and those who may be de
pendent on you in after years should
you be thrown upon your own re
sources? You may now be in pros
perity and be surrounded with every
comfort, but will it be always thus?
Hope as we may, there is a possibility
that some day you may be required
to turn your attention to self-support.
There is more truth than poetry in the
lines:
"We're up today on fortune's wheel,
And free from every sorrow
But in the round of good and ill.
All may be changed tomorrow."
It is wise, therefore, to ascertain
the avocations for which you have a
special liking and a natural aptitude,
and to develop your talents along
those lines.
I wish you to be mindful of the
privilege you enjoy in being the re
cipients of a convent education. To
have pursued your studies in this col
lege is a privilege which spells bless
ings for your after life. Whether you
appreciate your good fortune or not,
it is profoundly true that your con
vent training is an inestimable bless
ing which will tend to make you ex
emplars of all that is good and true
and beautiful and sweet and pure and
lovable in Catholic womanhood.
I bid you go forth to the world's
broad fields of battle—your minds
stored with knowledge, your hearts
impressed with sound principles, your
foreheads of hope toward the future.
Let it be your tireless aim to develop
the beings that you are, for your worth
in life will depend more on what you
are than on what you know or on
what you have. Let your principle of
development be that head training and
heart formation must go hand in hand,
would we have the noblest types of
Catholic women.
Result of Papal Effort
ITALY AND GERMANY TO EX
CHANGE PRISONERS.
A meeting of delegates will be held
in Switzerland shortly to arrange, as
between Italy and Germany, for the
same exchange or internment of pris
oners as is in force between Germany
and France. It is a case of the re
turn of prisoners over forty-eight years
old who have been captured more than
eighteen months ago, and for a better
system of medical examination through
which such as are really sick may be
sent to Switzerland for treatment,
which it is impossible for them to get
in internment camps. The initiative
for this came from the Holy Father
long ago.
Call Paper to Account
WASHINGTON POST MADE TO RE
TRACT STATEMENTS AGAINST
CHURCH PROMISE OFFERED
AGAINST FUTURE REPETITION.
The Washington Post recently pub
lished an article, in which two state
ments were quoted as follows: "The
policy of the Roman Church is hostile
to civil and religious liberty," and
"the statecraft of the Vatican is a
persistent encroacher and an indus
trious fomenter of discord."
Rev. Paul R. Conniff, S. P., rector
of St. Aloysius Church, Washington,
wrote to the editor of the Post,
monstrating with him for publishing
such statements. The Post printed his
letter and attempted a defense on the
score of news.
A committee consisting of a ropre
sehtative of the Knights of Columbus,
the Washington Truth Society, St
Aloysius' parish and the Holy Name
Society, wrote to the editor of the
Post, stating that the reply had been
entirely unsatisfactory, and asking for
a definite assurance that such state
ments would not again be printed.

Dear Sir:—The Washington Post
acknowledges receipt of the esteemed
favor from your committee relative to
the article which appeared in the Post
of May 7th.
I feel that I need hardly express as
surance to your committee of my re

Post should have been the cause of
criticism or disfavor.
I have already conveyed my views
in the matter to His Excellence Car
dinal Gibbons, whose friendship I
highly prize.
You may rest'assured that the man

avoid possibility of a repetition, and
I will thank you for a prompt expres

in the future.
Very truly yours,

Catholic Heads Reichstag
The new president of the German
Reichstag, Deputy Fehrenbach, is a
Catholic, having succeeded the Rad
ical, Dr. Kaempf. It is customary to
elect as president one of the leading
members of the party which has the
strongest numerical representation in
the Reichstag. The split in the ranks
of the Socialists put the Catholic Cen
ter party in first place hence the ele
vation of Deputy Fehrenbach.
PURCHASING MASS WINE
DIFFICULTIES IN DRY STATES
OPINIONS OF ATTORNEYS-GEN
ERAL OF NORTH DAKOTA AND
IOWA—MATTER PENDING IN
SOUTH DKOTA.
Considerable difficulty has been ex
perienced by the clergy in procuring
Mass wine in various states where
prohibition has gone into effect. The
E. M. Lohmann Company of St. Paul
has taken up the matter with the
various state authorities. We here
with present official opinions from
Iowa and North Dakota. As regards
South Dakota the matter is still pend
ing.
A letter from the office of the At
torney-General of Iowa says:
"Wine for sacramental purposes
may not. lawfully be shipped directly
to the consumer or persons admin
istering the same, and can only law
fully be purchased from a registered
pharmacist within this state holding
a permit t^bu.\, keep and sell the
same under section 2385 of the code."
In an opinion sent by William Lan
ger, Attorney-General for North Da
kota, the matter is thus explained for
that state:
"It is entirely proper and legal to
have the registered pharmacist send
for the wine for sacramental purposes
and have the railroad companies carry
the same into the state of North Da
kota, and that the registered phar
macist when he signs the affidavit at
the depot can endorse thereon what
minister it is delivered to, and by
turning over the original package to
the minister the law is not violated.
Both the federal and state law pro
vides that liquor can be brought in for
sacramental, mechanical, experimental
and medical purposes, and the state
law provides that it must come
through av registered pharmacist. It
is my opinion that the pharmacist
does not need to hold a permit."
In a previous letter Attorney-Gen
eral Langer said:
"You will note it is not necessary
to furnish any blanks to druggists.
All that is necessary to do is to fur
nish each depot agent with the blanks
and the druggists have only to go to
the depot agent and sign up at the
time that they get, the Mass wine
The druggist then hands you the orig
inal package, he simply writing on
the affidavit for the depot agent that
the wine is for personal use.
"This method has also been con
curred in by the United States
District Attorney at Fargo, and is the
one adopted all over the state."

First American Officer
LIEUTENANT FITZSIMMONS WAS
FIRST TO FALL—KANSAS CITY
WILL HONOR HIS MEMORY ON
JULY 4.
The park board of Kansas City lias
decided upon a design for the memori
al tablet provided by the citizens of
Kansas City to honor Lieutenant Wil
liam T. Fitzsimmons, the first United
States officer to lose his life in France
after war was declared.
Lieutenant Fitzsimmons was killed
when the hospital to which he was as
signed as a physician in Northern
France was bombed by a German air
plane on Thursday, September 6. 1917.
Tie was a member of Kansu it\
Council of the Knights of Columbus
and was well known in that city. He
had served two years as a volunteer
in a Red Cross unit previous to the
entry of the United States into the
war, and was to have received promo
tion to a captaincy on the day he was
killed. A Solemn High Mass of Requi
em was chanted for him in the ca
thedral on the Thursday morning fol
lowing his death, at which Bishop
Lillis preached the sermon and many
of the local organizations were repre
sented.
The memorial will be placed in the
recess of the south niche of the orna
mental wall in the park at Twelfth
Street and the Paseo. It will be in the
nature of a drinking fountain and will
be constructed of Dakota stone. It
will be twelve feet high and five feet
wide. An eagle, in bronze, will be at
the top, and the insignia of the medi
cal corps will be immediately under
neath with the date "1918." Below
this memorial an inscription will be
carved in stone, and at the bottom will
be placed the bronzed head of a lion,
from the mouth of which water will
flow into a drinking vase. The park
board will pay the cost of the stone
and its placement.
It is planned to unveil the memorial
with patriotic ceremonies on July 4.
Many of the prominent designers and
sculptors of the country were invited
to submit sketches and of the great
number received, none, in the opinion
of the committee, compared with the
design submitted by Mr. Van Brunt.
A Sonnet for June
O sweetest Heart of Jesus to Thy
shrine
In this dear month of June, Thy
saints have brought
Their offerings of word and deed
and thought,
Like fairest blossoms blown in fields
divine,
The blood-red roses of a charity
Whose seed was gathered from Thy
open side
The lilies of surpassing purity,
Amid whose petals Thou dost pleased
abide.
Ah! woe is mc, I cannot choose but
hide
My blushing face, for I have nought
for Thee
Save these poor violets, these tender
eyed
And drooping blossoms of humility
All wet with tears they bloom for
Thee alone,
Ah! make the giver and the gift Thine
own.

CATH0LICSJ)F ITALY
PLAY NOBLE PART IN PATRIOTIC
PROPAGANDA WIN PRAISE
EVEN FROM JOURNALS NOT IN­
SPIRED BY CATHOLIC IDEALS.
Even the journals which are not in
spired by Catholic ideals have noth
ing but praise for the part Catholics
are playing in the patriotic propa
ganda at present organized in Italy,
particularly in connection with the new
loan. The Catholic societies have im
pressed upon their members by cir
cular and meeting the necessity »r
subscribing to the uttermost far thin :.
and the parish priests have enten
heartily into the work and are in
many instances themselves receiving,
for transmission to the banks, the
subscriptions of the peasantry. The
Archbishop of Genoa has in a pas
toral letter, full of patriotic senti
ment, recommended the propaganda
of the loan and a subscription accord
ing to the limit of their means to all.
The shortage of paper andx the dif
ficulties of printing render a viva
voce campaign of persuasion all the
more necessary, and in several dio
ceses the priests have been bidden
by their Ordinary to speak and ex
hort their parishioners to subscribe
to the loan.
The Catholic associations have
taken the initiative in an active
propaganda and are sending around
representatives to the various com
munes, who carry information regard
ing the loan from door to door. The
Catholic Minister of Finance, Signor
Meda, is very much pleased with the
success this Catholic campaign.
MANY RECEIVE HABIT
CEREMONY OF INVESTITURE WAS
HELD BY BENEDICTINE
SISTERS.
On Monday, June 17, the inspiring
spectacle of thirty-eight young wom
en renouncing the world and being
clothed in the habit of the Sisters of
St. Benedict, was witnessed at St.
Benedict's Convent, St. Joseph, Minn.,
by an exceptionally large concourse of
relatives and friends of the young
ladies who were invested.
The ceremony began at 2:30 P. M.,
when the young ladies, arrayed as
brides, entered the beautiful chapel,
and, after expressing their desire to
receive habit, were presented with
the same by the Right Reverend Bish
op Joseph F. Busch, after which the
Right Reverend Bishop delivered an
instructive address. The candidates,
being invested, had meanwhile ex
changed their brides' attire for the
habit of the Sisters of St. Benedict,
and upon their return to the chapel
the ceremony was concluded with
Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament.
Assisting in the sanctuary were the
Right Reverend Abbots, Peter Engel,
O. S. B., and Placidus Hosnerbach,
O. S. B., and a large number of priests.
