conduct the exercises each evening at
eight o'clock.
Church of All Saints: Three hun
dred and sixty children, all that can
lie accommodated in the parochial
school building without undue crowd
ing, are attending the school. Many
more applied but they had to be re
fused admittance because of the lack
of room. An extra class room has
been prepared this year, but there is
real need for one or two additional
rooms, before all the applications can
be accepted.
Church of the Holy Name: A social

an enjoyable and successful one.
Church of the incarnation: The
Paulist Fathers have conducted a
most successful mission during the
past two weeks. The women's mis

the Papal benediction. The church
was crowded at practically every exer
cise. More than 1.200 confessions
were heard during the women's mis

day evening and brought the men in
large numbers. It will close Sunday
evening, October 5. The children s
mission began Wednesday afternoon,
October 1.
St. Charles Mission: The mission
opened Sunday, September 21. The
census will be taken up by the eight

DIOCESE OF ST. CLOUD
Collegeville: With record-breaking
enrollments in every department of
the college, St. John's University be
gan its sixty-third session on Septem
ber 11. This is the first time in the
history of the institution that the
buildings were taxed to the maximum
limit on the opening day. Additional
room was made for forty more stu
dents than were ever housed at one
time heretofore by transferring the
seminary dining and dormitory rooms
to different apartments. At present
there are :90 students in the college
and 63 in the seminary. This makes
about 70 more than were registered
on the corresponding date last year.
Usually November 1 was the normal
date when all available places were
occupied, but this semester registra
tion was unprecedented, and about
eighty applicants had to be turned
away on account of lack of more room.
It seems the war has released a great
er number of college-going students
than ever and the demand for pre
engineering, pre-law and pre-medical
courses has far exceeded the calcula
tion of the local college authorities.
Ways and means are being already
outlined for coping with the registra
tion problem next year.
OBLATE HISTORIAN BEGINS NEW
VOLUME PIONEER MISSION
ARY AND WRITER RETURNS
FROM TOUR OF BRITISH CO­
LUMBIA.
Completing a tour of tin Stuart
lake district in Northern British Co
lumbia, Rev. A. G. Morice, O. M. I.,
the well known Oblate historian and
authority on the habits and language
of the Indians, has begun work on a
new volume in connection with the
Northern Indians.
"One of the objects of my visit,"
he said in an interview, "has been to
secure information for my new vol
ume. It will be on a novel plan, a
dictionary and a grammar. I may
claim to be the only white man alive
who can speak the intricate language
of the Stuart Lake Indians."
Father Morice is a member of more
than a dozen scientific societies.
lie made an interesting reference to
the history of the Mission Indian Re
serve.
His Fust Visit.
"1 first came to the coast in 1880,"
lie. said. "I was not then a priest, and
had been in New Westminster. A
call came from the North Vancouver
Indians to one of our priests to at
tend one who was ill and I accompa
nied him on his mission. We pro
ceeded from New Westminster by a
road known as Burrard road, and
were taken across the inlet in an In
dian boat. I remember looking back
to what is now Vancouver, then a for
est. We found the Indian village even
at that time a flourishing place, with
a beautifully-kept church and a popu
lation larger than the reserve has to
day."
In regard to the date of the estab
lishment of the mission reserve, he
stated that the origin of the reserve
lay with the Oblate missionaries and
was due to the feeling that existed
between the still pagan Indians and
those who had become converted. To
prevent the converts from being mo
lested it was decided to establish
Catholic reserves along the coast
where those professing the Catholic
faith could live in security and peace.
"That is why you have various set
tlements of different Indians: all of
the Squamish tribe but of different
villages each with its own chief.
Their common ground was their re
ligion. When I came to the mission
first with the priest attending to the
sick call, the Indians had some small
cannon, and the first night I spent at
the reserve I had a cannon for a, pil
low."
From Normandy.
Father Moiice was born in Meyenne
Normandy, in 1859. He joined the
Oblates of Mary Imro-.culate in 1879
His vows were made in New West
minster, and immediately after he was
sent to Stuart lake, where he re
mained till 1903, a period of twenty
one years.
While at Stuart lake he made many
tours of exploration, and laid the
foundation of that respect and admi
ration of the Denes tribe which, later,
was to find expression in his books.
In 1908 he was transferred from
Northern British Columbia to St.
Boniface, Man., where he wrote, in
French, a "History of Catholicity in
Western Canada," and also the "Life
of Archbishop Langevin." He is the
author also of many other wrorks on
the history of Western Canada.
BROTHER 10!
Brother Tobias, one of the most
noted Christian Brothers in the coun
try, died at the novitiate at Ammen
dale, Md., on Friday, September 26.
He was ninety years of age.
The venerable educator was a re
markable schoolman, and he directed
the St. John's Brothers' College in the
national capital for a great many
years. It is said that during his
regime he was personally acquainted
and influential with every senator in
Washington. About ten years ago, on
account of the infirmities of age, he
retired to the novitiate where he has
remained ever since. |phans.
HISTORY ATTESTS THAT SHE HAS
STOOD BY THE OPPRESSED AND
WEAK—RIGHT OF SANCTUARY
OBSERVED IN THE MIDDLE
AGES—EXAMPLES CITED BY
JEWISH AUTHORITY.
In the Irish Theological Quarterly,
of recent date, Claude C. H. Wil
liamson contributes some information
oft the right of Sanctuary. This right,
or the right of Asylum, comprised the
privilege enjoyed by all those perse
cuted, justly or unjustly, of flying to a
church, where they obtained for them
selves immunity against capture or
violence of any sort on the part of
their pursuers they enjoyed this priv
ilege while they remained in the place
held sacred. In the meanwhile, the
priests, or bishops, used their influ
ence to secure justice for them, to
calm the passion of the pursuer—an
effect which was greatly favored by
time itself. For frequently, while the
persecuted person enjoyed the safety
of the Asylum, the passion of the per
secutor subsided of its own accord.
The bulk of the article by Williamson
is devoted to rulings and incidents
transpiring during the late Middle
Ages, the twelfth century and after,
and is confined largely to England. As
a matter of fact, however, the chief
value of the right of asylum was re
alized most in the earlier centuries
and particularly during the formative
period of the early Middle Ages, in
the Frankish kingdom on the conti
nent.
Accusations Against the Church.
There are many. Socialists and
others, enemies of the Church, who
on all possible occasions accuse her
of having done nothing and of doing
nothing for the persecuted and down
trodden, and the victims of absolutis
ts power. Just how unwarranted such
an accusation is, is evident from the
institution of the right of sanctuary,
the value of which is apparent to any
objective student of history. "Fugi
tives and victims of persecution found
place of refuge and salvation in the
hurches and the homes of the Bish
ops." writes Dr. Joseph Fehr in his
book on "State and Church in the
Frankish kingdom to the time of Char
lemagne," "without discrimination as
to their social condition." And, as
the same author points out, "at a time
when the wildest passions of revenge
empestuously demanded expression,
protection against them needs must
have been of the greatest beneficial
results."
Some of the incidents cited by the
uithor illustrate both the sacredness
with which the sanctuary was re
garded and the forceful assertion of
the right by bishops and priests
against the arbitrary passions and
demands of those in power. When
Duke Gunthramm-Boso was under sus
picion of being responsible for the
death of Theodebert, son of King Chil
peric, he fled into the Church of St.
Martin of Tours. Bishop Gregory made
himself the champion of the perse
cuted man, or rather of the right

IKMCK§S ORPHANS
NOTED TENOR GIVES GREAT
BENEFIT PERFORMANCE.
One of the most representative au
diences that ever graced the Metro
politan Opera House assembled the
evening of September 2i in the spa
cious playhouse in Philadelphia, to
greet the renowned tenor, John Mc
Cormack, in the complimentary con
cert, given under the auspices of the
Most Reverend Archbishop, for the
benefit of St. Vincent's Home. His
Grace occupied a proscenium box,
which was decorated with the Ameri
can emblem and the Papal colors.
The gathering included also prelates
and priests and persons distinguished
in every walk of life.
From a financial point of view the
concert was regarded by the opera
house management as the most suc
cessful ever given there.
His Grace, in his name and in the
name of St. Vincent's Home, cordially

of asylum and defended this right
against the King himself, who sent an
arym to Tours, to carry away the sus
pect. Ruccolen, the King's emissary,
threatened to destroy the city if the
Duke were not surrendered, but Greg
ory was firm, and permitted the troops
to devastate the field surrounding the
city and even to burn down the epis
copal residence, rather than violate
the time-sanctioned right. And all of
this in spite of the fact that Gun
thramm was known to Gregory as a
dishonest man. The situation was
aggravated by the flight, to the same
church, of Chilperic's son, Meroveus,
and the King's physician, Marileif,
whom the bishop fed, clothed and
protected until they escaped from the
church. The city was seized and
partly destroyed, but Gregory re
mained firm to his trust.
Priest Observes Right.
Another instance cited by Prof. Fehr
illustrates the observance of the right
of sanctuary by a simple priest. One
of Chilperic's nobles, Rauching. noted
for his inhumane treatment of his sub
ordinates, demanded of this priest the
surrender of a young man and woman,
both his feudal subjects, who had been
married and had fled from him into
the Church, demanding the right of
sanctuary against Rauching's persecu
tion. The priest refused to release
them until the feudal lord had pledged
himself by oath not to separate the
couple. Rauching solemnly pledged
himself to the observance of the
priest's demand, but later had the man
and woman buried alive together,
boasting afterward that he had ful
filled his oath to the letter. The
priest, advised of the crime, saved the
man's life, but the woman had died
of suffocation.
Such instances illustrate the benevo
lent charity of the Church toward the
persecuted and oppressed and her
firmness against the mighty. There
is in the right of asylum as practised
in those ages by the Church a whole
some lesson of tempering justice with
mercy, and likewise of binding the
absolutistic power of the strong. The
right of sanctuary was a wholesome
institution under the conditions exist
ing in those ages: it forestalled the
commission of many acts of violence
that would otherwise have been com
mitted under the influence of passion.
It saved the innocent from unjust
punishment and secured fair treat
ment for the guilty. It is suggestive
of the strong influence of the Church
for justice unmoved by passion, and
for charity regardless of guilt or inno
cence, wealth or poverty, power or
helplessness. A correct estimation of
the value of this institution may be
obtained by considering the effect of
the right of sanctuary on the crime
of lynching, so prevalent in this coun
try. The men, whom it prevented
from wreaking venegance on some
hapless victim, were no less brutal
than the average mob. The represen
tatives of the Church were, however,
more faithful to their charge than
most of our sheriffs and constables,
being willing to defend at any cost
those who had obtained an asylum in
the house of God!
TAG DAY
CAUSE OF PREVENTORIUM IS A
WORTHY ONE.
Tag Day for the Children's Preven
torium at Lake Owasso will be held
this year on October 11. The schools
will be visited on Friday, October 10.
Mrs. M. J. McFadden is general chair
man of the work. The cause is most
deserving, as it includes the main
tenance and care of tubercular chil
dren. Among these patients are Cath
olic children. The County Board of
Control has turned over the old tu
bercular sanitorium at Cuenca to the
preventorium, and thus a larger num
ber of patients can be cared for in the
future.
Every Thursday morning a commit
tee of young women, the Misses
Eleanor Dowling, Esther O'Halloran
and Marie Kane, hold catechism class
for the Catholic children placed in
the preventorium. Once a month
Mass is celebrated for these children.
FOR CENSUS CLERKS
The United States Civil Service
Commission announces an open com
petitive examination for clerk, Bureau
of the Census, for both men and
women, on October 18 and November
15. Several thousand appointments
for the fourteenth decennial census
for duty in Washington, D. C., will
probably be made from the registers
of eligibles established as a result of
this examination, at entrance salaries
ranging from $i)00 to $1,020 a year
Promotions through the various
grades to $1,080 and $1,380 will be
reasonably rapid for those whose sen

HOLY FATHER WRITES ENCOUR
AGINGLY TO MASTER GEN
ERAL OF GREAT ORDER.
On the Feast of St. Dominic, Pope
Benedict XV. on his own intiative, sur
prised the Master General of the Do
minicans, the Most Reverend Lewis
Theissling, with a letter of which the
following is a translation:
"To save the faithful from the pes
tilence of heresies which had wrought
frightful ravages amongst them, God
raised up in the twelfth century that
miracle of zeal and virtue, Dominic
Guzman, and through him instituted
a glorious phalanx of apostles who
throughout the centuries, as a vigor
ous tree planted in the paradise of
the Church and multiplying its
branches, produced in all places rich
fruits of eternal life. No less than
in the days of that valiant champion
of the faith, there has crept into the
midst of the faithful today the pes
tilential breath of errors and preju
dices of every kind, ravaging souls
and carrying them miserably to ruin.
But the great Order of St. Dominic
exists always as the palladium afford
ing security against the wiles of the
devil and the aberrations of the sects.
Today, still, even as in the days of the
great Patriarch, it offers an assured
refuge against the growing disorders
of erring humanity. Hence it is that
we, who know well, who value highly
and paternally love the illustrious and
deserving Dominican family, animated
with a lively desire to assist in the
salvation of souls and to indicate to
the faithful the means of holiness
which will preserve them from the
dangers encompassing them, do ex
hort all those who desire their own
sanctification and that of their neigh
bor, to enroll themselves under the
white banner of that Order which by
the singular protection of the Blessed
Virgin Mary exercised during past
ages, and still exercises in the midst
of the needs of our own age, a pro
vidential mission of truth, charity and
peace.
"And in witness of our fraternal
good will toward the great institute
of the glorious Patriarch St. Dominic,
to all who belong to the Dominican
Order, to all those wiio will receive
from on high the inspiration to en
roll themselves in its ranks, we grant
with all our heart the Apostolic Bless

Cardinal's Letter.
M. Abbe Cabanel, Military Chaplain.
My Dear Chaplain:
I learn that the work called the
'Fatherless Children of France" is
still being made, in the United States,
an object of unjustifiable attacks, as
a result of confusing it with another
organization which could not inspire
Catholics with the same confidence.
I should like to say again that after
repeated investigations, I have
reached the conviction that the funds
collected by this work are distributed
to the orphans with entire impartiali
ty and complete respect for the relig
ious convictions of families.
I again express my thanks for all
that generous America is doing, and
wishes to do, for the dear children of
France whose fathers have given their
lives for their country and for the
cause of right.

HOLY FATHER CONFERS HONOR
ON BENEFACTOR.
The Holy Father has conferred the
Order of the Golden Spur on Viscount
da Pasquiera, Don Louis de Sousa Re
bello Vahia, a Portuguese nobleman,
well known for his zeal and generos
ity in the Catholic cause. The Order
of the Golden Spur is one of the high
est in the gift of the Pope, and only
very few personages receive it. At
present there are only eleven Knights
of the Golden Spur, which order is
only next in importance to the Su
preme Order of Christ. The latter was
also conferred on Count Pasquiera by
l^eo XIII in 1901.
In 1901 the Viscount founded the
Portuguese College in Rome, which
is still maintained at his expense.

In Italy they have been holding

Congress on a small scale. The con

Union, and took place at Bergamo
under the patronage of the Bishop
Mgr. Camillo Carrara. After a Tri
duum of preparation, the first day
was assigned to instructing the laity
who heard stirring accounts of the
work of the catechists. Recruitin
amongst the young folks was largely
its object. The second day was re
served for the clergy, and the report
of Paolo Munna. the Secretary General
of the Missionary Union of Italy.
Missionary activity in Italy man!

Apologetique Chretienne, by the Abbe
Leon Duplot. Published by Pierre
Tequi, Paris. Price eighty cents.
The author of the above work is a
canon of the diocese of Arras, in
France. He has gathered together in
a handy volume the various points of
Catholic teaching on the doctrines of
the Church. The work, as is common
with such treatises on apologetics, is
divided into two parts. The first part
deals with the existence of revelation,
with religion in general, and the divin
ity of our Lord and of the Church
which He established. In the second
part the author treats of the doctrines
and beliefs of the Catholic Church in
particular. A kind of introduction
gives the arguments regarding the
existence of God and the nature of
the human soul. Altogether the book
is a very useful addition to the vast
literature on the subject of Christian
Apologetics.

WHOLESOME HOME COOKING AT MODERATE PRICES
ULOUS CHARGES AGAINST
GOVERNMENT.
The venerable Archbishop of Mich*
oacan, Dom Leopoldo Ruiz, having
been compelled to retire into exile,
after his seminary and his colleges
had been confiscated by the govern
ment, the administrator of the arch
diocese wrote lately a very courteous
letter to the governor of the state,
petitioning for the return of the
Archbishop. Here is the incredible
reply of the tyrant:
"Morelia, Miclioacan,
"Dear Sir and Friend: Referring to
your courteous letter, in which you
wished me to inform you whether on
the part of this government there was
any objection to granting to the Arch
bishop the return to this city. In
reply I will state to you that as long
as the Catholic Association of Young
Men does not give up its subversive
attitude, I cannot agree to the return
of Archbishop Ruiz, known as the soul
of the Catholic Party which gave such
a strong support to the infamous Iluer
ta and the bandit Villa (!), whose par
tisans continue arrayed against the
established government.—Without any
other particular, I remain your atten
tive servant, P. Ortiz Rubio."
The reasons for refusing the peti
tion are worthy of those mentioned by
the "innocent wolf" to devour the
"wicked lamb," says the Revista Catol

UNDER THE AUSPICES OF

NIPROVE HIES
CATHOLIC WAR COUNCIL TO
TAKE UP SUBJECT—WILL EM
PLOY MOVIES IN RECONSTRUC­
TION WORK.
A comprehensive program for
adapting the "movies" to the work of
reconstruction and Americanization
for the benefit primarily of 4,000,000
native born illiterates and 5,000,000
immigrants in the United States has
been arranged by the National Catho
lic War Council. The first steps in
carrying it out will soon be taken
with the co-operation of Catholic wel
fare organizations and parishes. The
start will be made in cities where the
machinery is at hand: New York, Bos
ton, Buffalo, and on the Pacific coast.
Eventually the work will be extended
to every city of any size in the coun
try and it may prove, if the design
of the Council is completely carried
out, the beginning of the use of the
'movies" as an instrumentality in the
social and welfare work of every
parish.
Scenarios By Catholic Writers.
The films will be provided by the
Council, which has already engaged
distinguished Catholic writers to pre
pare scenarios. They will be of a
diverting as well as instructive char
acter, and will cover various fields,
the topics being selected with a view
to bringing to the immigrant the reali
zation of the advantages of our demo
cratic government, the rights and obli
gations of citizenship, and the possi
bilities that lie before him in indus
trial activity. Matter will also be
supplied by the Council for brief in
structive talks to accompany the pic
tures. For mining centers and iso
lated communities a camionette serv
ice, that is, projecting machines
mounted on motor trucks, will be
provided.
Antidote for Morbid S«x Films.
A questionnaire is now being sent
out by the Council to pastors through
out the country asking for suggestions
as to the best way of using the movies.
The Council proposes that parishes
equip themselves with moving picture
machines, and suggests that a "movie
night," when wholesome pictures
could be shown, would do much to
detract interest from the morbid sex
plays, which are so frequently shown
on the screen.
An introductory or demonstratioa
course of one night a week for six
weeks will be provided first. If this
proves successful, a continuation
course of twenty-four nights will be
available. With the films will be dis
tributed free the Council's books and
pamphlets on civics and other sub
ject*.
