THE ECHO I7 The members of the Fort Wayne Council No. 451, Knights of Columbus acting through their Committee for the Distribution of Catholic Litera- ture, have pledged both literature and postage to promote the endeavor. The Apostolate is functioning al- though the organization will not be entirely completed until after the be- beginning of the new year. J The Right Reverend Monsignor J. H. Oechtering, V. G., was the first priest to make an appeal to his people for magazines. As a result a whole truck load of wholesome reading was gathered at the church door and de- livered to the Central Catholic High School for remailing purposes. Hun- dreds of magazines have since been received from the same source. That the literature is greatly ap- preciated by those who receive it is evidenced by the kind letters received by the Apostolate. -Thomas Doyle, 525. Obituary It is our sad duty to record the death of Mr. Michael Kelleher, father of Stephen of the Freshmen Class, who died at St. Joseph's Hospital on Thanksgiving Day. Although his passing was rather sudden he had no cause to fear for he was ever a model Christian husband and father. The large attendance at his funeral evi- denced the regard in which he was held by his acquaintances. We assure the family that he will receive a liberal share in the prayers of both faculty and students. May his prec- ious soul rest in peace. A Book Review flusf as our Echo forms were being locked, our attention was drawn to a real for sure book of poetry. We cannot im- prove on the following notice which ap- peared in one of our International Maga- zines under the date of December 9.5 Lovers of good poetry will recall an ex- quisite book by the Rev. Charles L. O'Don- nell, C. S. C., The Dead Musician and Other Poems, which was unfortunately swallowed up in a publisher's failure. The choicest of that collection, with some new and appealing additions, has just appeared under the title, Cloister and Other Poems. Father O'Donnell's best gift is the ability to create beautiful lyrics of an extraordi- nary and haunting religious suggestiveness, but the present volume contains also two excellent longer poems. Priests have an emotional life too, fuller and freer, perhaps, than any other, but above all else individual and aspiring. To give this life expression in a form that suited it admirably was Father Tabb's abiding and generous serviceg he has had no successor, we firmly believe, to equal Father O'Donnell. Of course, the two are not alike. Of the Virginian priest's genius and its characteristics we need say nothing here: Father O'Donnell excels in ability to combine color with melody, or, let us say, stained glass with chant. The fol- lowing quatrain, Bread and Win-e, with the sub-title, Passionis Tuae Memoriam Reli- quisti, will probably convince the most in- veterate doubter that modern expression of sacramental moods may still be great verse: Herod's Fool and Pilate's King, Purple cloths and white we bring: Cloak Thee in the pale wheat, hide In clusters of the blue hillside. The little book is excellently fashioned. The Macmillan Co., price, 31.
