Such was the angehc salutation addressed many centuries ago to a humble maiden hidden from the eyes of the world in an obscure village that nestled in the hills of Galilee Such was the greeting ad- dressed by an angel of God to the youthful maid scarcely emerged from the years of childhood, a greeting of which the most emin- ent of the world's learned, the most noble of royal families, yes the most holy of saints, have not been found worthy. To Mary alone has been addressed this unique greeting, for she alone has been found worthy to receive it. What then can be the import of this most singular of saluta- tions? How is it that a greeting of so marvelous a nature is addressed to one little more than a child, to one whose sex was at that time regarded with little respect, to one of a nation despicable in the sight of the world, to one of a race that had made itself the slave of passion and sin? Obviously an excep- tional creature had appeared among the children of men. Hail full of grace! -exceptional indeed, for after four thousand years, a child of Adam has Hnally appeared in whom the works of iniquity have found no dwelling-place. To possess the fullness of grace and yet to be of a sin-stained race! Marvelous indeed was this exceptional privilege of Mary and universal is the ad- miration which she, through her Immaculate Conception commands as the purest and holiest of the creatures of God. It is no wonder that the workers of evil, so wholly opposed to the sanctity of Mary the Immaculate, labor so unceasingly in denying to her the most noble virtues through which she has succeeded in elevating the human race. For between them and Mary there exists the eternal enmity established by the Al- mighty Himself when in promising the hope of salvation after the fall He announced the victory over sin, saying to the ser- pent I will place enmity between thee and the woman. -Gen 3 15 The fulfillment of this promise found its inception in the Immaculate Conception of Mary for here was begun the victory that was to be gained over sin In Mary was begun the everlast- ing and complete subjection of the spirits of evil and their works embodied in the serpent s form for in her were fulfilled the words that were-to begin the downfall of Satan's reign, She shall crush thy head -Gen 3 15 - gl 2 I, E-.-: 'llilll lllll B Y Y Y . . . . . .

It is true that Mary s divine maternity is an honor, an un- fathomable clistmction but her Immaculate Conception is the fitting preparation for this infinite dignity. It was, writes St Anselm emmently Just and proper that the creature chosen to be the Mother of God should shine with a luster of purity far beyond anything conceivable in any other creature under hea- ven In her Immaculate Conception Mary gleams with a luster of grace so bright as to overshadow the brilliancy of the holiest of souls on earth, and even of the entire hosts of angels in heaven No wonder then, that immortal fame was the artist's reward when taking up his brush and having the Immaculate Concep- tion for his theme and inspiration, he executed a work that must continue to demand the admiration of all even of the most impious, throughout the ages. The Immaculate Conception it is that gives true significance to the words penned by the poet, when he, writing of the most pure Virgin acclaimed her as ' our fallen nature's solitary boast. Again it is the Immaculate Conception that has created for suffering mankind such miracu- lous shrines as Lourdes, where the graces of Christ are so freely bestowed upon man as to relieve not only his spiritual ailments but his physical ones as well, provided he manifests a sincere and whole-hearted devotion to the Immaculate Mother. , With the Immaculate Conception thus revealed to us, what is the attitude of the Church toward the sinless Virgin Mary? Though the iniquitous world may scoff at the virtues of Mary,- virtues that are the joy of the Blessed Trinity and the delight of angels-the Church joins with the heavenly choirs and re- joices with Mary in her sanctity. Thrice daily does the Church by the pealing of the Angelus remind her children of the angelic salutation addressed to Mary and thrice daily do her children greet Mary with those heavenly words. F rom the obscurity of the small chamber at Nazareth in which this salutation was first given it has been made Christendom's universal cry of greeting to Mary the Immaculate, and in this acclamation of the Immaculate Conception, the masterpiece of God's creation we are prix ileged to unite our voices. To Mary in whom abounds the fullness of every virtue, we offer our humble greetings, and in so doing we can find no better words than'those of the an- gelic salutation Hall full of grace!

IGOTRY and religious prejudice, those inseparable agents of ill-will have within the past year, again made their appearance among us. A natural outgrowth of the circum- stances connected with the last presidential election, they served anew as weapons of attack for narrow-minded orators and illiber- al writers to injure not only the presidential candidate himself but his fellow-Catholics as well Many, not of the Faith, yet charitable enough to respect the religious beliefs of their fellow- men expressed amazement at these unjust attacksg while on the other hand they sincerely admired the calmness with which the Catholics bore them. This however, should not have caused undue surprise for it has ever been thus. History records many such instances. The very beginning of our own Colonial Days, in fact offers a notable example. the Puritans and the Catholics. It might be fitting therefore to inquire into the conditions of affairs relative to each party in England: the causes of their embarkation to America and finally the attitude taken by each after settling here At Elizabeth s accession to the throne, a number of Protestant clergymen who had fled to Switzerland during lVIary's reign, returned to England eager to spread Calvinistic teachings and practices Accusing the Church of England of retaining too many features of the Catholic Church, they immediately deter- mined to purify it from Romish idolatry. Hence the name advice and the government soon checked their agitation. For the time being the Church of England seemed securely estab lished but the strife between Puritanism and the crown was to have tremendous consequences under Elizabeth's successors In the matter of Church government, the Puritans favored an extension of the movement which had torn England from the Catholic Church Two groups stood in sharp opposition, an influential Low-Church element within the Established Church and the fanatical Separatists without The latter' the Independents maintained that there should be no national church but that each local parish be wholly separated from the C1Vll power and independent of other churches 4'-3 8.1 ll21l muuumh Ill alllllI Elll 'llllil lllllll' Q Elllllllflllli: glllg slmls Ellli ammwm ig... zlll' Fill . 1 Y 1 1 . . 1 . . . . . . . . . .

' E . . : IIIIIIII They tolerated the most radical opinions on religious questions and bore a deadly hatred against King, Prelates, and Catholics. To others they appeared a lawless element. Elizabeth, as well as James I persecuted them and several of their congregations Hed to Holland. Toward a group of these that later founded Plymouth in America we shall direct our attention Elizabeth appointed Whitgift, an avowed foe of the Puritans as Primate Under his regime, Puritan ministers were deprived of benefices and their parishioners punished for attending their services 1n the forests where they continued to exercise the func- tions of their ministry Prominent men sought some relief for them from Elizabeth but their exhortations went unheeded. The Primate moreover was empowered to establish a court of commissioners for the detection of non-conformity, giving freer course to the severities of the law. The Puritans, however, remained steadfast. Robert Brown a clergyman, after whom a sect was named, roamed about inveighlng against bishops, ecclesiastical courts, and I'Cl1glOUS ceremonies His impetuous and illiberal spirit hastened the publication of opinions not yet matured in the Puritan body and which but for his unseasonable interposition, might sooner have ripened into the system of the Independents. Elizabeth applied the remedy of persecution to this innovation. The congregation dissolved into parts, but the doctrines took root in the Puritan body These Brownists, declaring the prin- ciple of the Church of England superstitious, her sacraments and ordinances invalid renounced communion not only with her but with every other Protestant church not harboring their tenets. They could assemble only by stealth. Against these the queen directed the fury of the law. In 1593, it was decreed that any person above sixteen years of age, who obstinately refused for one month to attend public worship in a legitimate parochial church should be imprisoned, that if for three months he persis- tently refused he must abjure the realmg and that refusing this condition or returning after banishment, he be put to death This decree together with others of similar nature enacted under James I Ellzabeth s successor, caused many Puritans to migrate to Leyden Holland' but after ten years there, conditions prompt- ed them to migrate to America. Consequently, on September 6 1620 they set out and tvso months later cast anchor in the harbor of Cape Cod.

Ez A but as their number increased, the representative system was adopted In May 1631 at the first court of election in Massachu- setts that the body of the Commons might be preserved of good and honest men it was decreed that no persons be admit- ted to the freedom of the body politic except members of certain churches. Historians and statesmen have frequently censured this provision and questioned the right of the government to make it Naturally it was productive of much dissension. Indeed as we shall see it blossomed forth into a huge thorny bush to stmg those at variance with the doctrines of its sowers Roger Williams a minister of Salem, having promulgated certain heretlcal tenets tending equally to sap the founda- tions of the establishment in Church and State, and failing to conform to the opinions of the ruling powers, was banished from the Colony. His heresy was that the civil magistrate should restrain crime, but never control opiniong should punish guilt but never violate the freedom of the soul. ' His exile obliged him to enter the woods in winterg and cast out from the society of civilized men for affirming the noblest right of humanity, he found a shelter among the savages who welcomed him Religious dissension continued in Plymouth. A controversy arose involving Mrs. Anne Hutchinson and two clergymen Wheelwright and Cotton, in opposition to a majority of the ministers. Mrs. Hutchinson commented bitterly against the opposing preachers whom she declared to be under a covenant of works. The quality of her adherents made the affair one of political importance which could not have occurred had not the Church and State been so intimately connected. The general court censured Wheelwright and this further embroiled the fac- tions so that the party question of the day was made the test of elections and interfered with the discussion of every pro- cedure. Finally in 1637 Anne Hutchinson and Wheelwright were banished and many of the adherents migrated elsewhere. Thus the intolerance of Massachusetts became instrumental in scattering new settlers over the country and in founding new communities of men who were ready to sacrifice all delights of social tolerance to the preservation of the rights of conscience In 1643 a Confederation of the United Colonies of New England was formed embracing Massachusetts, Plymouth, Connecticut' and New Haven. Rhode Island was excluded for declining to submit to the jurisdiction of Plymouth. Providence Bancroft. - 5.2 12311 mn. I un.

Thus we see continued that same intolerant spirit that overshadowed the Puritans from the very beginning of their colonization, a spirit that could but spread only dissension and ill-will among all concerned. The religious sentiment of the Puritan colonists imparted a peculiar character to their institutions. Religion was with them an affair of state and it was a paramount duty of the civil magis- trate to preserve its purity. We have seen the effects of this principle in the controversy involving Anne Hutchinson. Quakers and Anabaptists now began to experience the bitter- ness of this prejudicial disposition. Clark, a Baptist, was fined for preaching, and Holmes was Hogged for his religious opinions. Mary Fisher and Anne Austin, members of the Society of Friends, were banished because their manner of worship did not harmonize with the tenets of the governing powers. A special law was subsequently passed prohibiting admission of Quakers into the Colony. This, nevertheless, did not deter them from entering. Another decree was then enacted banishing them under penalty of death. As a result, several were cruelly hanged. And so we see that the very men who had fled from England in search of an asylum of religious freedom, themselves now tol- erated absolutely no other belief save their own When oppressed themselves, they exclaimed against indiscriminate toleratlong but when they became masters of the land they applied the same persecutions against the adherents of other faiths, which they themselves suffered at home. They contradicted their own principle by maintaining that human beings might and ought to punish what God alone could correct and alter. Truly, the very atmosphere in this Puritanical New England was saturated with un-Christian sentiments, prejudice and bigotry: forces that could breed nothing but dissension and contempt for authority What a distinct contrast there was between this Colony and the one we are about to consider: Catholic Maryland The Catholics in England, like the Purltans, were not immune from persecution. Although their faith was impaired somewhat by the revolt of Henry VIII against the Holy See and the estab- lishment of the Calvmistic Church in the Kingdom by the re- gents of Edward VI it nevertheless, could not be totally under- mined Moreover dreadful persecutions were directed against them in the hope of bringing this about. Under Elizabeth, the Mass was abolished the oath of supremacy reenacted, images A- Q ii ll24ll :Ill I Ill: Ellli illlllli ll llllllllllllb Ill: :lllllllllllllll .mnulnmu 2 : : E ,lllls , - mumlmr: ' XX ' I 7 7 7 7 7 ! X destroyed and churches filled with new clergymen performing strange rites The faithful naturally could not participate in this The Mass was and IS the only divine worship to be offered by duly ordained priests Being thus deprived of the use of their churches Catholics were compelled to hear Mass secretly. - Elizabeth intended to crush them and to force them into the Church established by her Parliament. Although her penal laws were most bloody they nevertheless, failed to sway the major portion of the Catholic population. Defense of the Pope's juris- diction brought a heavy fine. A second offense meant death. Elizabeth not content enacted new laws making it treason to declare her a heretic to use any document from the Pope, or to give or receive absolution. Any Catholic Heeing England to evade the law and failing to return within six months suffered confiscation of his property. These laws were soon enforced, whereupon the gallows took their deadly toll. Conditions being such, eminent Catholics began exercising their inliuence at the Royal Court of Elizabeth, and later of James I, toward procuring a refuge for their oppressed brethren. Although valiant efforts were exerted by others, it remained for the Calverts to bring about the success of such a project. Sir George Calvert was Secretary of State under James I. Although not as yet a Catholic, nevertheless, he studied religious affairs seriously. The Separatists, Puritans, and Presbyterians were proselytizing a large body of dissenters from among the ignorant classes. In the Puritan school he perceived only a men- ace to both civil and ecclesiastical governmentg while in the Anglican denomination he recognized a feeble effort to retrieve a wrong step. He decided, therefore, to enter the Ancient Church. Consequently, in 1624, having resigned as Secretary of State, Cfor the law tolerated no Catholic to fill any public oflicej, he embraced the Catholic faith. King James however created him Baron of Baltimore Ireland for his long and excellent service Evidently anticipating his entrance into the Church Calvert obtained a charter for the province of Avalon in Newfoundland making him Lord Proprietor He intended to make Avalon his residence and above all to establish here a refuge for oppressed Catholics Accompanied by his little flock of colonists Lord Baltimore set out from England and arrived at Ferryland July 23 1627 Unfortunately however this settlement proved un successful failure being caused by the severity of the weather and the depredation of the neighboring French Lord Baltimore consequently decided to seek a more favor ZS k..f ill L alll - K-4. 1 M 'PB llllllllllllllll .llls l 0 , , n ! !

Truly, this de- mand was outside the realm of their authority. Calvert, indeed never expected such bigotry and hostility. Before leaving New- foundland he wrote to King Charles I for a grant of land in Virginia there to enjoy the same privileges as at Avalon. He was interested in Virginia and evidently was striving to build up that Colony. The attitude of the Virginia officials clearly in- dicated that it would be impossible for Catholics to live in peace there He therefore decided to seek another province. Returning to England he applied to the King for a new grant. His wish was fulfilled Charles I bestowing on him a new charter for territory south of Virginia. Clayborne was secretary of that Province and prejudicially said it was dangerous for Virginia to have Catholic subjects, but that this danger was trivial compared to having a colony controlled by Catholics at the very border. Due to this vehement remonstrance the recently-granted charter was revoked. Lord Baltimore thereupon asked for territory to the northward. His wish was again granted and he gained posses- sion of the land north of the Potomac to the fortieth degree, together with a portion of the eastern shore of the Chesapeake, lying opposite and extending to the ocean. This was called Mary- land in honor of Queen Henrietta Maria. This charter for Maryland clearly demonstrated Lord Bal- timore's long experience and his political wisdom The King even renounced for himself and his successors the right to impose any tax on the people of Maryland. Calvert deserves to be ranked among the wise and benevolent lawgivers of all ages He was the first in the history of the Christian world to seek for religious security and peace by the practice of justice and not by the exercise of power' to plan the establishment of popular institutions with the enjoyment of liberty of conscience to ad- vance the career of civilization by recognizing the rightful equality of all Christian sects. Before the charter passed the Great Seal of England Lord Baltimore died April 5th 1632. His son Cecil hon ever obtained the same concession and proceeded, to carry out his fathers plans chief of which were to convert not extirpate the natives and to send the sober not the lewd as settlers looking not to the present but the future expectation.

Because of the hostility toward Catholicism in England, Calvert's object in Maryland was not openly proclaimed. Conditions required great precaution in managing an undertaking such as this. - In June 1632, the charter was received and Cecil immediately undertook to fulfill his father's wishes. The future colonists 'were assembled Smce all were not Catholics, Calvert permitted the Protestants 1n his flock to choose their own ministers. It is a significant fact 1ndeed that they were quite indifferent in doing so Four Jesuits were selected as the spiritual guides for the Catholic portion To these, Calvert regretfully made it known that he could offer no means of support. This fact, together with the unpleasant proximity of Virginia and New England, should certainly have discouraged the good priests. This was not the case however for they cheerfully accepted their new office. Cecil Calvert thinking 1t would be to the interest of the colony for him to remain in England, appointed his brother Leonard governor The expedition was unfortunately delayed in reaching 1tS destination for Calvert's enemies, realizing that the object of his colony was a religious one, falsely charged that his ships sailed without formal permission. The vessels were thereupon brought back but the accusations were soon disproved and the expedition again proceeded with as much determinat1on as be- fore Several weeks later the ships glided peacefully up the Chesapeake Bay to the territory embraced within the charter of Maryland The Catholic character of the territory is immediately man1- fest Thus for example the Potomac River was consecrated to St Gregory and the Heron Islands dedicated to Sts. Clement Catherine and Cec1l1a They anchored near the Island of St. Clement On the day of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary in the year 1634 we celebrated the first Mass on that Island never before had it been offered in that region.

Thirty miles of territory were bought from the natives and their good will obtained. The name of the town was changed to St Mary s. An Indian hut was converted into a chapel and this marked the first shrine of Catholicity in Maryland The natives were conciliated, and the new settlement began with both Catholic and Protestant living together in peace and harmony neither attempting to interfere with the religious rights of the other and religious liberty obtained a home, its only home in the wide world, at the humble village which bore the name of St. Mary s. if Fear and suffering were unknown. And so with the beginning of the little town of St. Mary's wa.s laid the foundation of the peaceful and happy Colony of Mary- land March 27 1634 Bancroft says this settlement progressed more in six months than the neighboring Colony of Virginia did in as many years St. Mary's was the home, the chosen home of the disciples of the Roman Church. The fact has been gener- ally received. It is sustained by the traditions of two hundred years, and by volumes of written testimony.

The difficulties that were to arise would come, however, not from within the Colony but from without, the chief instigator of which was to be Clayborne, the Virginian. In February 1635 the Colony of Maryland convened for legislation and all the freemen were present at the opening of this strictly popular assembly. The most important business confronting the body was the necessity of vindicating the Jurisdiction of the Province against the claims of Clayborne 3 nmmr Peace and prosperity indeed seemed assured, yet as we shall 9 7 flllllli glg-I who had established a trading-post in Calvert's domain and re- fused to submit to his authority. This was deemed worthy of general deliberation and of decisive action, for the intruder resolved to maintain his stand by force of arms. Indeed, this determination was the cause later of a skirmish near the Isle of Kent, in which Clayborne's men were defeated. Lord Baltimore thereupon took possession of the island. During this time Clay- borne was in England prosecuting his claims before the King. Because he scorned the powers of the Proprietary, scattered jealousies among the Indians, and instilled a spirit of disobed- ience into the inhabitants of Kent Island, the Colonial Assembly at its next convention passed an act of attainder against Clay- borne. Being absent, his estates were seized and forfeited to the laws which he had declared invalid.

Maryland s Constitution had as yet no fixed form the government was merely a democracy under a hereditary patriarch. The act constituting the assembly marks the transition to a representative government. From then on the Governor might summon friends by a special writ, and the people were to choose as many delegates as the freemen should think good. Domestic union, harmony between all branches of government, an increasing immigration, fertile soil, irrigating rivers, all contributed toward making Maryland the prosperous Colony that it was.

Unfortunately, however, this kindness was later repaid with ingratitude and treachery, for when civil war broke out in England and the Royal Power fell, these very men aided Clayborne, their former foe, in overthrowing Calvert and spreading destruction throughout Maryland, truly, a base in- gratitude. Lord Baltimore, however, gathered a force in Virginia returned, and recovered possession of Maryland. Peace was con- firmed and the Province rescued from the distress following a short but vindictive and successful insurrection. The controversy between the King and Parliament grew. The overthrow of the monarchy seemed about to confer unlimited power in England upon the enemies of the Roman Church Scenting impending danger, the Catholics in Maryland resolved to enact a decree upholding religious freedom, ever held sacred there.

'IIIIIIIIIIIIIF Attempts to deprive Catholics of the credit of this decree proved futile, but Gladstone's endorsement of their efforts gave rise to a triumphant Catholic vindication. It was the last Catholic act confirming the policy obtained from the founding of the Colony and maintained so long as Catholic Proprietors were in power, ceasing only with Catholic influence. The religious toler- ation which historians have so much extolled in the Catholic colonists and founders of Maryland did not originate with or derive its existence from that law of 1649, but on the contrary, it existed long anterior to, and independent of it. This great feature in the Catholic government of Maryland had been es- tablished by the Catholic Lord Proprietary, his Lieutenant- governor, agents and colonists, and faithfully practiced for fifteen years prior to the Toleration Act of 1649. From 1634 to 1649, it had been enforced with unwavering firmness, and pro- tected with exalted benevolence. I To preserve the Catholic missions among the natives, which had attained splendid successes since the founding of the Colony, Lord Baltimore, in 1651, set apart ten thousand acres of land at Calverton Manor, for the remnant of the neighboring Indians. The Assembly recognized his constant efforts to Christianize the natives and thus the first Indian reservation was founded by a Catholic and under the direction of Catholic clergy. In 1652, Clayborne and Bennet, as Commissioners of the Com- monwealth of England, overthrew the Proprietary Government and when Lord Baltimore prepared to restore it, they convened an assembly and prohibited any Catholic to vote or sit as a delegate. In place of the peace and benign policy which had existed under the Catholic rule, was now substituted a reign of terror. Anti-Catholic power was gaining. After victory on the Severn, the Puritans proceeded to St. Mary's County, spread disorder and ruin and attackedthe homes of the priests, intending to kill them. Fortunately the good Fathers had already escaped to Virginia. Lord Baltimore, however, soon again recovered his authority, and liberty of conscience was once more restored. An act was then passed making it a felony to disturb the order which was re6stablished. I-Ienceforth, no authority was to be recognized except the Assembly and the King. The light of peace promised to dawn anew upon the land. Thus was Maryland at the epoch of the restoration, in full possession of liberty, based upon the 1Shea, The Catholic Church in Colonial Days. lI31l Q Jlllllllllllll: , A A Ellllllg ' . iflllllllllllle ' ' if practical assertion of the sovereignty of the people.

These then were the contrasting conditions existing in the realms of Puritamsm and Catholicism in Colonial times. We have seen in the one, bigotry and prejudice, nourished by hate and ill will, in the other, tolerance and brotherly love. We have seen how the Puritans, apparently unmindful of the sufferings they formerly experienced in England under prejudiced sover- eigns, now administering similar persecutions upon those at variance with their beliefs. On the other hand, we have noticed how the Catholics, having undergone the same afflictions, and remembering the terrible penalties that were exacted from them, now cheerfully opening to all not only their Colony but also their hearts. Indeed, a genuine Christian charity was here dis- played.

Perhaps no subject is more' calculated to incite the aversion of an audience than the subject of asceticism or self-discipline. Immediately the mind conjures up associations linked with the foibles and the excesses of men who lived in the so-called Dark Ages. The prejudices against this word are an almost universal acquisition of the human race. They are a great obstacle in less educated minds and in educated minds they are manifested in no less a person than William james who treats this subject with the sarcastic chuckle of a cui bono? However a little introspection manifests the fact that this antipathy is too often the result of an argument between con- science and self-love, or traces its source to a misunderstanding of true asceticism Conscience wishes us to follow the ideal. Self- love replies 'that's too difficult for me. Quite .unconsciously one acquires a paratawus of defense, manifesting itself in a parti- cular odium for knowledge concerning this matter. No one who is acquainted with the facts, can truthfully deny that there is no little misunderstanding of the word and the spirlt of asceticism Even the minds of the clergy are not entirely immune from a distorted notion of 1tS meaning. Of course there is some founda- tion for these prejudices in the past and not a little abuse in the present. But 1f asceticism is examined in the light of true psy- chology- a psychology which emphasizes the positive side of these practices which further demands that man build upon his God-given endowmentsg and which looks upon man as an A speech delivered before the St. Vincent Seminary Unit of the Catholic Students Mission Crusade.

DoctorVerner Moore remarks Impulses are ineradicable and it is vain for us to attempt to dominate them by uprooting them, but they can be-and must be-balanced by other impulses. You hear of no negative suppression in these words, but there are implications of a skillful guidance and direction of action--the spirit of true asceticism Asceticism does not imply the stunting of man's progress, nor a negation of his powers. It rather stimulates their develop- ment rules effemmacy out of society, pleads for, and gives, a noble vigorous manhood provides a stability which wonders at the fickleness of man supplies a virility which thwarts the at- tack of false freedom In its ultimate analysis asceticism marks man as a truly rational animal, placing reason ever in her sublime coign of vantage for leadershipg and manifests a will untrammeled by the unrelenting appeals of the animal. VVith these few words as preface, our subject shall be con- sidered indirectly by proposing what it really means when understood in the light of true psychology and in the light of that ideal which IS our true aimg the end after which we strive for the attainment of which we constantly pray. So considered asceticism involves knowledge of man in the power of his weak- ness or as a creature subject to habit. It is a weakness in man to be so facile yet in this very weakness he manifests his strength. Professor james in his classic chapter on habits maintains them weak enough to yield to an impulse, but strong enough not to yield at once. Organic matter, especially the nervous system seems to be endowed with an extraordinary degree of through the blood stream and the stimuli pouring into the brain from the sensory nerve roots. Once in these currents must find a way out' right here IS an opportunity to counter the march of an old habit with a new. It is not our intention to treat of the na- ture of neurones synapses or what takes place in the building up and breaking down of habit. We shall only consider the nature of the end-result Habit has been aptly called a second nature. Habit is ten times nature! the Duke of Wellington exclaimed. The truth of this statement may be readily recognized from an analysis of man s daily life of men about us: of society itself.

These facts prove the tremendous influence of habit in man's daily life. Habit obviously plays a predominant part in man's make-up And since man and his character are inseparable, habit marks off his character as strong or weak, vacillating or firm, courageous or effeminate noble or despicable. But habit is not character and man s character is called a bundle of habits only in an analogical sense For character is life dominated by principles and habits are secondary and flow from the exercise of these principles in daily life Habits manifest the character, strengthen the character and aid it in carrying these principles into action Hence they are the builders of character Is it any wonder then that Professor James declares that the 'great thing in all education is to make our nervous system our ally instead of our enemy as soon as possible. In other words, he advises men to build good habits of thought and action, in- timatmg that efficiency of self depends upon the strength of habit. Work will become easier: decision will trample upon in- decision. VVill power increases, so that what formerly lured us away from truth and virtue will now be scoffed at. One great question confronts all men. This question is the manner of ac- quiring good habits and eliminating those which are harmful. Professor Bain has some practical advice upon this question In his chapter on Moral Habits he remarks that, we must launch ourselves with as strong and decided an initiative as possible to build agood habit or to counter an old one with a new. Stir up powerful motives for actiong tell some friend of the resolution which has been made' make engagements incompatible with the old habit' devise situations that will demand the new habit and reject the old ' Above all never suffer an exception to occur till the new habit is securely rooted in your life. Such a catastrophe wears the old channel more deeply into the nervous system and deflects the new one. Never lose an engagement. Success begets encourage- ment and victory satisfaction, while the sting of defeat leaves the poor will shivering fearful to start anew. Seize the very .first opportunity to act on every resolution you make' and on every emotional prompting you may ex- perience in the direction of the habit to which you aspire to gain.

Such aone easily becomesa sentimentalist, adreamer g1v1ng neither humanity nor himself that which rightly might have been expected of him. Action, not potency, is perfection! And to attain perfection there must be ceaseless striving. Mere resolutions or emotional promptings do not train or set the nervous system-that demands action. Furthermore, to make resolutions and then to fail in carrying them out is detrimental to character. Modern psychologists rightly maintain that by this sanguine listlessness the will becomes enervated and soon arrives at such a state where it becomes completely indifferent about making any resolutions or undertaking any action which demands effort. As regards this subject, William James, who displays such virulent distaste and hatred for the old ascetics, has penned a few sentences which may be deemed classic. He remarks, Keep the faculty of effort alive in you by a little gratuitous exercise each day. That is, be systematically ascetic or heroic in little unnecessary points-do something just because you would rather not do it. It pays high and welcome dividends in a moment of crisis. Is this not one of the narrow paths to sainthood when motivated by the supernatural? True, James emphasizes the natural' so likewise have we to a certain extent but all the while never losing consciousness of the great truth that grace does not destroy nature but builds upon it. How strikingly familiar this thought-how new the old psychology, how old the new I Man IS not merely a creature subject to habit but in a very particular aspect he is a being of impulse and desire. Habit very often correlates itself with man's strong desires. Hence, to ob- serve man as influenced by desire is imperative Man possesses powerful impulsesg inhibit the impulse and desire follows. Now it IS clear, as Dr. Moore remarks that some outlet must be provided for the forces of our impulsive activity. All the channels cannot be kept closed all the time This seems reasonable, for surely man cannot expect to bottle up his emotions continually without a break of some kind. God did not create man to atrophy through desuetude and repression. Life is too strong and positive for this.

The lack of such a plan plays havoc with man's future years. To carry out this plan, psychology and asceticism enter and admit that man is a creature of manifold desires-life is too short to realize all of them, therefore, simplify these desires Psychology and asceticism both warn men to discard desires culminating in pleasure only, and to choose those which point to accomplishment. Sensory satisfaction is transitory, intellectual attainment, lasting. Again, it is necessary to establish a hier- archy of desires in which there shall be one supreme end of life to which everything else must conform. The seminarian has such a hierarchy of desires in his holy vocation to the priesthood. But this plan must be elastic, able to suit itself to the environment of the moment. Finally, this plan, according to the dictates of psychology and asceticism, must involve self-denial, in order that our end may be obtained and that our efficiency may be at its best. Some repression and inhibition are absolutely necessaryg this every thinking man must admit. But the necessity for these inhibitions can be lessen- ed if man balances his impulses by a rational plan of life, giving to his higher impulses the energy needed for the lower. That self-denial aids efficiency was a platitude long before St. Paul spoke of the rigorous training necessary for the athlete. This is just as true today and must almost be considered a conditio sine qua non for success in any branch of life. ' Man, as architect of his own future, must map out his pro- gram for progress in the light of the above laws. Habit is either our weakness or our strength, depending upon its nature. Its demands are implacable, its aid immeasurable, its implications simply bewildering. Now is the time for forming habits for life. Begin today make a target, form a resolution, carry it out. Remember each little act counts, and as james remarks, down among our nerve cells and fibres, the molecules are counting it and registering and storing it up, to be used against man, or for him, at the next wave of temptation. This then IS a brief consideration of man's ability to develop his power for goodness through the homely spirit of self-discip- l1ne exemplified and perfected in the formation of good habits under guidance of a rational plan of life. The following is a still briefer consideration of his potentiality for goodness from the viewpoint of the soul And remember if it is difficult to measure potentiallties and actualitities of the nervous system, what a , ll37ll 9 : 'sft 4.1: km ua l.ll Q , ' it.

It is here reproduced as cited by a fe1low-semin- arianz One evening about eight-twenty, in need of in- formation, I ventured to a seminarian's room, knocked lightly, and quietly opened the door. I stepped back quickly--there he knelt with his head buried deeply in his hands-a small crucifix before him-wrapt in meditation. I tried to escape but could not. He told me later of the pleasure he ex- perienced in kneeling before the crucifix. This is but a single instance of the childlike love and the ardent devotion which is so commonly found in the life of the seminarian. Perhaps the words of the following poem, In a Seminary Garden, by Grace H. Sherwood, illustrate this better than the recounting of numerous examples: I knew that in a corner lay Some graves, but did not know the way And asked a student that I met.

B ATERIALISM and unrest, results of the recent war, have effected a revival of the almost defunct cult of Spiritism. A materialistic age is always partial to Occult- ism and the present age is no exception. This cult has spread far and wide over the world. We, as Christians, living as we do among many whose religion is gross materialism, must, of neces- sity, meet with people who believe in Spiritism and practice it. If we are to maintain an intelligent attitude on the subject, which is at the same time compatible with our Christian religion, we must learn something of the nature, the claims, and practices of this cult, so that we can converse intelligently about it, and maintain correct views on the matter. This treatise aims at a concise presentation of such knowledge. Spiritism is by no means new. It is a very ancient practice which has appeared under many forms during the history of the world. It has been cloaked under the guise of necromancy divination, black magic, and clairvoyance. The Jews knew of it since it is expressly forbidden by the Sacred Scriptures in the Book Leviticus. Spiritism was a widespread practice in pagan times. The Chinese, and even savage races, knew and practiced it. Often it neglected to clothe itself in the more specious form of necromancy, and manifested itself as the diablerie which it truly is. The modern form of Spiritism began with the Fox family of Hydesville N Y in 1848 They introduced the circle or seance. This practice spread rapidly throughout our own country and Europe but due to numerous exposures of fraudulent seances its popularity waned with the century With great vitality, the cults began to revive during the late conflict. Many people suddenly bereaved by the war fell easy prey to the blandish- ments of Spirltxsm and sought to lessen their grief by communi- cating with the souls of thelr lost loved ones. Other causes of this revival were its exploitation by the press, and the conver- sions of several prominent men to the cult. Notable among the latter are Sir Oliver Lodge and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. These men gave Splritism its lmpetus 1n England, and later in the KT .i!. ll41ll 'I llli Sl ls ulmmnm- fi - mm mm: g ' lx su, zu ll , xr 2 L ' . sin 5 mnmm' I 1 .mum uiiu -I I: ' ?lllg Wllllllllllllf' 1 , . . .

But Spiritism is sadly inadequate both from a scientific as well as from a religious point of view. As a science, its claim to prove the immortality of the soul by communication with the dead, has no basis. But even should it prove that spirits are at work, there is no proof at hand that these spirits are what they represent themselves to beg for even unbiased investigators speak of them as lying, impersonating spirits. As a religion, Spiritism establishes no form of morality, for it eliminates Hell and represents Heaven as a sublimated continuation of our earthly life. It denies the Redemption of mankind by denying the divinity of Christ. It has nothing to offer except a vague shadowy existence beyond the grave, such as was offered by paganism. Furthermore, as a religion, it is evidently opposed to the true faith. An analysis of the true and false in Spiritism will reveal the dangers which are always present and arise necessarily from it In general these dangers arise from the phenomena upon which the claims of Spiritism rest, and in particular from the contents of spirit messages. These are transmitted through a person known as the medium or sensitive, by means of whose vital forces- the control or alleged spirit produces the phenomena The phenomena may be divided into physical, or extra-med- 1um1st1c and psychical or intra-mediumistic. Whether they should be called preternatural, is a disputed question. Some of the phenomena observed are easily, and therefore frequently imitated by fraud others may be explained as exaggeratlons or misinterpretations of abnormal, but purely natural, psycho- logical happenings. According to the testimony of J. Godfrey Raupert Dr. Carrington Sir William Barrett, and others, there' seems to be no doubt that some, if only a few, of these observed phenomena are genuine that is, really preternatural in origin. Besides genuine there are also spurious phenomena and such as are partly spurious and partly genuine. This curious mixture of truth and decelt naturally confuses the public mind and there- fore, an explanation of each may not be out of place. In the first place let us consider the spurious phemoneria. Some . 11.4211 - Jil ll!! l IL fllllll- Ulllllillllllll alll alllllllllllll . ',-- y W, wr., '-i' .1 . fx hi... N V -M..

These latter cases often yield surprising results, which however, after careful observation are found to be the result of the subconscious operations of the medium's mind. Most med- iums never pass beyond this stage. The phenomena, which are partly spurious and partly genuine vary in character. In some cases a genuine medium, unable to produce the phenomena at will, resorts to trickery to preserve his reputation. In other cases, the spirit messages are either 55? I QQW'-'g 'l TT ..

This may arise either on the part of the medium or of the control. Sir Oliver Lodge admits that, It is difficult to find a dependable medium: some consciously distort messages, and others may do so unconsciously. On the other hand, the control may misinterpret facts and thus give a false- message, or it may deliberately lie. Dr. L. P. Jacks, in his Presi- dential Address to the Society for Psychical Research in 1917 said: Take the question of imposture. Mediums are not the only impostors. How about the communi- cators? Are they masquerading? You can have no absolute proof that there is no masquerading on the other side: I think the whole meaning of personal identity needs to be very carefully thought out and considered before we begin to produce evidence in favor of personal identity Other experimenters as Dr. Carrington and Mr. Raupert state that the spirits are deceitful and untruthful. Though it may be difficult at times to distinguish between genuine and spurious phenomena there seems to be no doubt that some, at least, are genuinely preternatural in origin The purely genuine phenomena may be described as those which cannot be explained by any natural cause. Among these are, especially physical phenomena produced under the most careful supervision and communicationsrevealing knowledge which the medium could never have acquired in a purely natural manner XT Q-3 ll43ll lllllllilllllll. sllllll- qlllllllllllli o EIIIHIHIIIIE allla illli mmmmpgn .

Jllllll IIE -lllg . s rj-'XS In explanation of the various phenomena which have been observed three theories are proposed: the Telepathic Theory the Subliminal Mind Theory, and the Spiritistic Theory The Telepathic Theory as the term indicates, has recourse to mental telepathy in explanation of the phenomena observed This theory may explain such phenomena in which the medium relates facts known only to the inquirer. Such facts could easily be transmitted from the mind of the inquirer to that of the med- num by the admitted way of telepathy. Yet it does not explain the cases in which the knowledge of events or facts displayed lies outside of or above the cognitive powers of either medium or mquirer Telepathy, furthermore, is an inadequate explanation of the physical phenomena. The Subliminal Mind Theory distinguishes between two sets of mental act1v1ty. the subliminal Qunconsciousj and the supraliminal Cconsciousb All the psychical acts of which we are conscious, such as hearing, seeing, etc., have their origin in the supraliminal mind. Other psychical acts and functions, which are no less real, despite our unconsciousness of them, have their origin according to this theory, in the subliminal mind. When the medium has lapsed into a state of trance, the supraliminal mind is silenced. This gives a greater scope of operation to the subliminal mind which by some unknown process, detaches itself from the human personality and roams about as an inde- pendent entity. Thus the liberated subliminal enters into psychic contact with other minds and extracts thoughts and ideas there- from The same mysterious faculty, for the period of trance, has entire control of the medium's brain and organs of speech- powers which in the conscious state are entrusted to the supra- l1m1nal. This ingenious explanation labors under great difficulties It does not account for the physical phenomena. Even in the case where intelligence is conveyed, the theory is wholly inadequate This IS readily seen 1n the following illustration cited by J Godfrey Raupert A stranger is introduced to a sensitive Cmediumj who readily passes into a state of trance and conveys a communication from a deceased relative of the stranger This supposed relative communicating through the medium refers to facts in the stranger's life long since forgotten. Can we ascribe to the detached subliminal mind the power of drawing information from the stranger's mind while he remains in a normal alert cond1t1on and while he is Hpersonallyrresisting any Zi ll44ll , gunna: mtg ,li alll? l ni an gllllllg l Q ' 25.5.52 Y Y 'llllllllllllll' unnnuunq illli illlllli E E . . . . . . . . . . .

Can we attribute to the subliminal mind the power of loosing itself from the personality of the medium, of finding instantly on the other side of the globe a person possessing the desired knowledge, of establishing rapport with the mind of that person immediately: and of purloining the information therefrom while the possessor is unaware of the ingenious theft and in no mood for yielding it? If our minds were so hopelessly exposed to invasion by the de- tached subliminal minds of other men, there would cease to be a secret in the un1verse The messages, moreover, are invariably delivered as emanating from deceased relatives, from friends, or from famous historical characters. Therefore, if it is the sub- l1m1nal mind of the medium and not some deceased associate, that is the communicating intelligence, then we must be prepared to admit, as Professor Alfred Russel Wallace insists, that this, our second self is almost always a deceiving and lying self, or, on the other hand, we must ask with J. Godfrey Raupert, Can this subliminal self be supposed to be always under a chronic and profound delusion as to its own identity? These, though only some of the difficulties that lie in the wake of this theory, suffice to show that it is untenable. For this reason, the most careful investigators have rejected it. Passing to a consideration of the Spiritistic Theory, we find that it accepts the alleged spirit messages for what they pro- claim themselves, namely, communications from departed souls who have found a means to pierce the barriers that separate our lives from theirs. The spirits insist that they are departed men and women and that they produce the varied phenomena of the seance to establish their claim and to offer evidence of their mission to teach the world The Sp1r1t1st1c Theory must be rejected for the following reasons in the first place in its state of separation from the body the human soul cannot produce the effects which are attributed to it by the adherents of this theory By its natural powers the disembodied human soul knows nothing of the happenings of this earth except by direct divine illumination. This statement is based upon the fact that corporeal sense organs and faculties are indispensable instruments on the part of the human soul for the perception of corporeal material things In addition to this we may say that each human being has his own individual soul destined to animate his own body and not that of another 'Hlll llllllll' 'Sl I r 7 ' 9 ! , c l , . gunuuumu mu glllg. .

Occasionally they even admit that they are demons. As an illustration we quote Dr Carrington who says I gained the distinct impression through- out the sittings that instead of the spirits of the personages who claimed to be present, I was dealing with exceedingly sly, cun- remarks fishing guesses, and shrewd inferences, leaving the .sitter to pick them up and elaborate if he would. , Other expert investigators of spiritistic phenomena also testify to the fact that the spirits fail to establish their identity. Professor Camille Flammarion, after a lifetime devoted to the study of Occultism makes the following admission: Souls of the dead? The innumerable observations which I have collected during HIIIIIKIIIIIIE - - . E-.-: EIIIIIIE Ellls HIIIIIIIIIIIIG . . . . l SEQ more than forty years all prove to me the contrary. No satis- -K - factory identification has been made. 'l' . Therefore, since the Telepathic Theory, the Subliminal Mind Theory, and the Spiritistic Theory do not furnish a satisfactory explanation of the varied phenomena of Spiritism, especially for the marvelous messages which very clearly indicate the pres- ence of external intelligences, only one conclusion remains: that these mysterious phenomena and uncanny spirit messages emanate from spirits indeed, but from spirits of,a malignant nature, that is from demons. That it is possible for malignant spirits to produce these phenomena is evident from their aptitude to influence material objects. St. Thomas says that a corporeal substance, being of a lower order than a spiritual substance, can be moved by the latter.I This influence even extends to the organs of man, es- pecially to the brain. lVIan's internal and external organs of sense perception, are by nature subject to the peculiar motion of his vital and subtle nervous system, and thus a fallen angel, because of his perfect knowledge of their operation, can so cause to work together as to produce artificial phantasms, similar to those effected naturally.

T More- over, since their knowledge is not limited by space, they can know even distant events. From the above indications, it is evident that evil spirits or demons can influence material objects-even the bodily organ- ism-and that they can have knowledge of distant events. We conclude, therefore, that it is possible for evil spirits to be the cause of the genuine phenomena of Spiritism. That they are truly the cause may be shown by the following argument: Investigators maintain that at least a few spiritistic phenomena are genuine and of preternatural origin. Therefore, they must have a cause. The Spiritistic Theory does not furnish a satisfactory explanation of these phenomena for the reasons already indicated. Good spirits are not the cause, for the messages communicated are often deceptive, untruthful, malicious, and immoral. God is not the cause for the same reason. Therefore, only malignant or evil spirits are the true cause. We find a confirmation of our conclusion in the fact that not a few scientists many of whom are men inclined to scoff at the idea of Satan speak of the spirits as evil and detestable. Thus for instance Stanton Moses, an ex-Anglican minister and well- known Spiritist says: Some spirits will assent to leading questions and possessed apparently with the desire to please, or unconscious of the import of what they say, or without moral consciousness will say anything. Such motiveless lying bespeaks a deeply evil nature ...... Such an impostor acting with an air of sincerity must be as Satan clothed in light.

Q Sir William Barrett says: Spiritualism reveals the existence of some mys- terious power which may be of a more or less malignant character. It is necessary to be on our guard against the invasion of our will by a lower T order ofintehigence and n1oraHty.Hi J. Godfrey Raupert states: I know of numerous instances of this kind, some of which exhibit an amount of cunning and malice on the part of the unseen operators, such as the ordinary mind can scarcely conceive. 1' 'The rnost carehn invesdgators adnnt the evH character of these intelligences and, therefore, confirm our conclusion that demons are the causes of genuinely preternatural phenomena. Since the source of Spiritism is evil, the results cannot be other than evil. Spiritists themselves admit that Spiritism is a danger- ous practice. The dangers are not only physical, but also moral. The physical dangers of Spiritism arise from the fact that vital or nerve energy is withdrawn from the organism of the medium during the production of the phenomena. Speaking of mediums, J. Godfrey Raupert says: In professional mediums who exert their power incessantly and for pecuniary gain, this prostration is apt to be so great that they become helpless nervous wrecks after a time. I In extreme cases this strain on the life-forces of the medium results in a complete breakdown or in permanent insanhy. The great lesson which psychic science teaches is that all psychic activity is not only abnormal, but also in the highest degree injurious to body as well as to the mind. The class of psychics known as med- iums, are to the last degree neurotic. Exceptions may be found only in cases where the psychic powers are of very recent development. The fact remains that habitual indulgence in psychic prac- tices of any kind, grade or character invariably results in some form of nervous development or 5Dale Owen, Footfalls on the Boundary ofthe Other World.

They manifest themselves 1n the form of possession. The real ultimate aim of the intelligence seems to be the control of the sen.s1Itive. The Fox sisters, and Eusapia Palladino, noted mediums, took to evil ways under the rule of evil spirits. Numerous instances of possession are sup- pressed as much as possible, in the interest of Spiritism and of the reputations of the persons themselves. With such perils as these threatening the physical, mental, and moral well-being of the faithful, the Church naturally could not remain silent. As under the law of the Old Testament divina- tion was forbidden, so under the New Law Spiritism is con- demned. This condemnation is based on doctrinal as well as on moral grounds. Let us consider first the doctrinal grounds. Spiritism claims to be a New Revelation with a creed revealed by spirits, and supposed to supplant Christianity. The Casnist explains this aspect of Spiritism when it says: The 'creed' of Spiritism as gathered from its most - authoritative literature and from the disclosure of the spirit intelligence, is anti-Christian. However diverse their teaching may be on secondary mat- ters, there is absolute agreement on the following pomts: Christianity 1S not a special and unique revela- t1on It is one of many forms of high spirit manifestation designed to enforce on man the binding obligation of the moral law inherent in his nature. Christ IS not divine 1n the sense of the Catholic Church. He is 'a purely human being who possessed wonderf ul psychic powers The teachlng of the Church regarding the passion and death of Christ is all wrong due to human error and weakness SDL Hudson Scientzfc Demonstration of the Future Life.

' There IS no priesthood especially set aside and ordained by Christ to continue this work. The Church with her Sacraments was never in- stituted to perpetuate the work of saving men's souls. She 1S purely human in her origin, her growth and her work. The notion of retribution after death for sin committed in the flesh is folly. Man is daily and hourly preparing his own heaven and hell. There is no heaven or hell as taught by the Church Man IS in very truth his own savior. 1' These doctrines are absolutely opposed to Christianity The Church in condemning them, may aptly use the words of St Paul, 'But though we or an angel from heaven, preach a gospel to you besides that which we have preached to you, let him be anathen1a. I The moral grounds for the condemnation of Sp1r1t1sm are not only the dangers mentioned above, but also the intrinsic evil of spiritistic practices. The intrinsic sinfulness of Spiritism is evident from the fact that it is directly condemned by God. The Lord's direct condemnation is found in the Old Testament where it says: A man or woman, in whom there is a pythonical or divin- ing spirit, dying, let them die: they shall stone them: their blood ,First Commandment which forbids men to seek knowledge of future and distant events from evil spirits. ln view, then, of the dangers of Spiritism, of the Lord's con- demnation, and of the intrinsic evil of divination, the Church has always condemned the practices of Spiritism, under their ancient, as well as under their modern forms. The decrees of the Fourth Council of Carthage, the Fifth of Constantinople, the Second of Tours and others contain various warnings against practices of this nature More recent decrees set forth this condemnation in still more PFCCISC language In 1856 the Holy Office urged bishops to take every possible means to re- press and uproot all abuses so that the flock of Christ may be protected against the enemy the Deposit of F aith safeguarded .and the .faithful preserved from moral corruption The Second Plenary Council held at Baltimore in 1866 says It seems a well-established fact that many of the wonderful phenomena which are said to be pro- 1'Casu'ist Vol III SLeviticus XX.

However t seems hardly to be doubted that certain things, at least, are due to Satan's intervention since they can scarcely in any other way be satisfactorily explained. After declaring that some of the phenomena are due to diabolic intervention, the Council warns the faithful against attending seances out of curiosity. ' Later, in reply to an inquiry, the Holy Office declared on March 30, 1898, that the practice of Spiritism, either as medium or as inquirer must be condemned as gravely illicit. On April 24 1917, in reply to doubts expressed by Cath- olics it condemned even passive assistance at seances, that is, even in case of a person assisting who protests that he will have nothing to do with any evil spirit As Catholics therefore we are bound to avoid all contact with sp1r1t1st1c practices The cult of Spiritism is a form of super- stition not far above the Voodoo of the savage, in spite of its exalted language It cannot justly claim to converse with the dead even in cases where trickeryis absent.

The hoarse panting of giant locomotives mingled with the cry of porters and attend- ants, brings added confusion. Outside the station a southern gaze of a smiling sun. Hearty greetings are exchanged as ac- quaintances meetg everywhere 1S heard animated conversation concerning the business at hand. All, however are plainly anxious to cope with the impending problems. They are for the most part veterans, men who have met on the eastern seaboard on the western coast in northern climes and now in the south for this same purpose. They are met to select a man who shall uphold the standard of a great political party, to present one who shall merit the approval of the nation Several days later the same terminal witnesses the departure of these men who had come with such keen eagerness to attack the problems presented. Their elastic step and alert expression has given way to a tired and drawn appearanceg the unaccustom- ed heat and particularly the protracted and strenuous debates on issues fraught with grave, lmportance, have sapped thevitality of even the most robust. Nevertheless, there glows in the eyes of all the sparkle of accomplishment, the satisfaction of a work well done, the realization of the defeat of a false principle, the knowledge that a prejudiced notion has been relegated forever to the limbo of the past This southern city has been unusually privileged It has witnessed the dawn of a new day in national life a correct interpretation of the laws of liberty: indeed, it has witnessed the birth of the new citizen' and as the editor of the Virginian-Pilot has said though the party may lose the election, no defeat in November can deprive it of the spiritual victory in une.

It is obvious that the last few years have seen a triumph of many principles former- ly termed figments of idealistic minds It cannot be affirmed that the new citizen is so constituted as to be always correct or even fair in his views or interpretation of opinions affecting moral, social, and political life.

As one prominent writer of the day stated when speaking of the great presidential campaign: Politics are being talked to an extent not known in America within a generation. More people will vote than ever before. The issues are not clearly drawn, but they never are. At any rate, people are thinking about national problems and arguing about them and fighting about them. It may be that after this cogitation many Americans will go to the polls and vote stupidly. The voter who does not comprehend is always with us. Yet there is something to be said for the man who comes to a foolish decision. I like him better than the man who reaches no decision at all-. It is evident that such a situation exists and it is precisely because of this fact that we have hope for the future. The causes for this new birth in our elective body are manifold and variedl A consideration of some of them both in their fundamental simplicity and devel- oped form brings the realization of a force capable of far-reaching effects. f V The prime factor in the development of a citizenry able to use suffrage intelligently is of course, education, 'education by means of institutions of learning, periodicalshand magazines This fact is quite undebatable. It is with the school as a force for that purpose that we are here chiefly concerned.

The presence of such a system is postulated for the ideal community by Devine: later he adds the most important factor in his treatment of education: The final condition, which I name not lightly, nor yet with misgiving, is religion. We, as Catholics, premise the presence of religion in all educational endeavor since the use of the word without its guiding and con- structive force implies a certain contradiction. Student bodies in all our schools have increased in amazing fashion, and each year shows larger enrollments. The school appropriations have been materially increased, being tripled in many states within the past few years. Country as well as urban centers have within easy access grammar schools, high schools and, not infrequently, colleges and universities. A stabilized industrial system for the greater part of the country has been a favorable adjunct in the presentation of educational facilities this, coupled with a greater prevalence of competitive scholar- ships, has placed the school within the grasp of many who other- wise could not hope for such advantages This healthy economic condition which has prevailed for the past decade has motivated many endowment funds. The natural conse- quencesp research and experiment in the field of arts and SCIGHCGS have tended toward specialization. The result of specialized endeavor is apparent in the life of a student when he becomes a responsible voting citizen, since this system aids in bringing the mind to a sharper focal point of action. A trained mind more easily dlagnoses the gist of a statement than one that is an 1n- tellectual storehouse of odds and ends. So it seems the method of education today enables man to bring more finely adjusted faculties to bear on problems which are, to a great extent, age- old. The evident result IS the more widespread application of the first prlnciples of logical thought. The development of education- al fac1l1t1es has directly aided the growth of the new citizen This will be shown after a general exposition of its indirect effect upon that other essential of sane national living: religion, the prerequisite of all salutary education and government. That these two forces religion and education, mutually react upon If-Rx A wi uf: V f T T .ir zr,,5u, w,.fff.sLg..zl glllg' . ,.,,, .

This mutual reaction has proven most salutary in respect to the new citizen, who has come to the realization of the existence of a potent factor in the social order. This factor is the churchg particularly the Catholic Church. Certainly her advances have been of an outstanding nature in the past few decades. It must be admitted that many people still have rather vague notions as to the position of the church in regard to themselves as individuals and as members of the state, but, at least, they recognize that she must have some place in the scheme of all things. The church will take that place proper to her when these ideas, now so vague, crystallizeg it is a cause of rejoicing that they now recognize some of her rights, for this is the first step. The haze chiefly envelops non-Catholics, fallen-away Catholics, and those who have become tepid in the practice of religion. Members of the church corporate are coming to an appreciation of the deeper and more sublime truths upon which Christ built His edifice. We have witnessed the many societies that have been formed in the last few years, the impetus given Catholic newspapers and periodicals, the interest displayed in missionary activity, and the larger number of catechists work- ing in many of our dioceses. The world saw a magnihcient sermon on the citizenship of Christ's subjects on the occasion of the Eucharistic Congress at Chicago. It is not possible for one to be a good citizen of the spiritual state and, at the same time, a poor member of the civil government. The narrow bigotry of certain sections is slowly giving way to an intellectual consid- eration of matters for them sometimes difficult of comprehension, and with this advent comes hope for the future. The views of a person can never be corrected unless he is willing to consider the reason why they should be altered Today we hear considerable discussion about church and state The refiection upon the unification or separation of church and state 1S further 1nd1cat1ve of common thought, even if merely speculative The questlons the non-Catholic asks himself are What is my position towards my church with regard to the state? What is my position, especially, with regard to the.Cath Ol1C Church and the state? The Catholic would ask the second question only Both are natural interrogations considering the modern trend of thought The reason for the first query is easily explained it has a close personal relation. But why the second? K-5 Rl ll56ll 3 1 u L: T N .. f m Ill 1 Q 2 BIIIIIIIMIIIIL --- mmmnmr It might be that the non-Catholic has been taught to always establish his own position and then consider Rome Some men who have been taught to think of Rome as a sinister political power are now beginning to question the wisdom of that former guiding tenet hence a wider number are baldly labellng the un- warranted d1atr1be as sheer nonsense The losses 1n the ranks of the Protestant churches have been of an unusually severe nature Shortly after the time of the Oxford Movement the same condition existed and was directly the result of Cardinal Newman's excellent reply to Gladstone. The answer in Divided Allegiance seems entirely adequate as a reply concerning the status of the Catholic toward his state. Dealing with the disturbing thought-for a non-Catholic--that the Catholic is bound to blind obedience and that Rome looks forward to securing control of the state by any means possible Hllllllllllllk ffx ' I E---E ,, . su -Nm l ., . - - ,l , M. I Jw, 55k,3v5:',LJ,,i?g:k ammmlm: ' ml T A' I X Newman quotes Bellarmini, who, speaking of resisting the Pope says: In order to resist and defend one's self no authority is required ...... Therefore, as it is lawful to resist the Pope, if he assaulted a man's person, so it is lawful to resist him if he as- saulted souls, or troubled the stale CTurbanti rempilblicamD. 'f This passage from such an authority quite definitely establishes the position of a Catholic citizen towards any attempt of the Pope to usurp state authorityg for any such attempt would obviously be troubling the state. The duties, then, of a Catholic to his church interfere in no way with his duties to the state: for the former are confined within certain well defined dogmatical and ecclesiastical spheres. We have no reason to believe the new citizen anything other than a loyal individual, loyal to his church and state. Certainly the advance made in religious thought and action and a like trend in civil society have clearly proven his loyalty where one could look for some sign of defection New and beautiful houses of worship as well as schools and charitable institutions capable of elaborate programs for the benefit of all are to be found in our cities and rural communities The state IS undertaking and completing vast projects for the common good bridging the great silver ribbons of our waterways unfurling miles and miles of carpet-like roadway, and yet attending to the more proximate wants of its unfortunate people All this in times of prosperity and times of depress1on which alternately affect many districts.

This adjustment eventually affects every person and since the time of governments, has been a vital influence in the rise and fall of a people. It is vital prim- arily because It tampers with the free will of man, and herein lies the danger. Here perhaps more than in any other field of public affairs the new citizen may be seen. The evidence of his work in the concrete IS sufficient to make us rueful and confused to some extent. A thorough investigation of his influence on moral legislation leads one to the opinion that indirectly rather than directly the conditions existing can be attributed to him lt seems that basically the zealots in the vanguard of anew citizenry are responsible a slight review of affairs will make this quite evident Several years ago legislation purely moral in tone was rushed through our deliberative bodies and made a law over ings bordered on trickery without becoming nominally a statu- tory fraud. The enactment of the law was greeted skeptically by the people as a whole with an admixture of joy or bitterness according to their personal views. People not supporting this legislation today are honest according to all indications. They are sincere in an effort to correct a condition that all will admit is undesirable in many respects. Regarding the method nothing IS here considered beyond mentioning the confusion resulting we are onlv examining the initiative prompting the support of the movement Now to show that the vanguard of a more common thinking body politic was the prime mover behind the passage of this bill we need but see how agitation for the continuation of this amendment 1S gaining momentum. Many will say that the recognition of self-evident facts is no indication of a more in- telligent or thinking peopleg this is granted. Nevertheless, the experiment had been supported in all good faith and now various plans for its modification are being suggested. There exist many laws on the statute books of countries, which while not enforced are never repealed or amended. The people are not satisfied at present and will never be satisfied with attempts to conceal the inefficiency of this law. The matter must be settled for all time. Time alone can tell of the realization of a change' the entire problem is now merged with the interests of the great. political parties. The various differences of these political parties require the new citizen to face his problems frankly, since his birth is so ' gil ll-5811 K-A EIIIIIIIIIIIIE fm glllg in Qin Wllll llll lllln I 7 I :ll llllllllllli Ellli sllls Hlllllllllllll wmumnr as . . . . . ,, that voters are not being taken in by 'hokum'. That there does inextricably woven in the action which made these differences more apparent The new citizen assisted in the rare feat of courage that took place in the aforementioned southern city His apostolic work has been noticeable in not a few instances and we must take cognizance of the heritage of years he has discarded. We find men in the great arena of political life unable to adjust their views of certain sharp differences of party policies who are nevertheless, very willing to carefully analyze the position of each policy and arrive at some certainty which they follow to their poss1ble disadvantage from an expedient point of view. The people of today are looking for the real meat of the political nut. Charles Willis Thompson, the veteran pol- itical economist writes. For nothing is more obvious than that political audiences are much less susceptible to dramatics than they were a quarter of a century ago. Platform pyrotechnics are more likely to engender suspicion than support. He further adds, after a review of conditions: These things may serve to show exist a percentage which can be reached and swayed through it, no one will deny. Ours is no millennium. People are approach- ing closer to the truth uttered by St. Thomas, The common good cannot flourish unless the citizens be virtuous at least those whose duty it IS to govern. f This consideration is a guid- ing star in their selection of a standard bearer. The system upon which is directly incumbent the furthering of a most desirable spirit is Catholic education. Rev. P. A. Halpin in his work The Instruction and Moral Training of Children has defined Christian Pedagogy as, a method of education which in all its details keeps in mind those great principles and those great facts which are taught and maintained and sanctioned by the Church of Christ. Such a school makes of its graduates with the recognition of their need, partakers in a work the effects of which are manifold. A citizenry zealous for better government in all its ramifications carries with it a wider understanding and consequent deeper appreciation of the Catholic Church, since the application of her moral principles cannot but secure results worthy of admiration and interest It will give a solid basis upon which to rest respect for law, the means to man s destiny here and hereafter-his own perfection Law, from the performance of man's first responsible act, is constantly present He will recognize the uses of legislation and will consequently recognize the twofold edge of a great force and consider well before determining to use it in attaining an end.

Those who study history know him as the great leader of the Oxford Movementg those who study literature, as a man of unsurpassing literary endowments. But significant and scholarly as are the works and the genius of the man, there are few, indeed, who are acquainted with his human side. Men know him in his great historical, religious, political and social actsg few know him as he lived his life away from the crowded highways of humanity in the solitary solemnity of his little cell. The latter is the objective of this essay. It proposes to give the human side of Cardinal Newman. Throughout his youth he was ever a solemn, serious little lad who found greater delight in intellectual pursuits than in the rough and ready sports of the day. His was an unusual intel- lectual avidity which grew with the passing of years and won for him at the end of his primary course, a scholarship at Oxford University. Upon his entrance to the University he seemed little different from the rest of his fellowmen, yet, he possessed unusually deep religious convictions and was endowed with unexcelled powers of mind. At a very early age he found consolation in the con- viction that there were two, and two only, supreme and lumin- ously self-evident beings in the world, himself and his Creator This IS one of the great principles of Newman's life, a principle the understanding of which is indispensable for any adequate appreciation of the noble sacrifices of the man. Across every page of the Apologia this conviction stands forth in bold characters without it Newman s life IS a commingling of inconsistencies. With the passing of years his religious fervor grew more in- tense and it induced him upon receiving his degree, to begin study for orders in the Anglican Church. Here his powers of mind won the universally coveted scholarship to Oriel College one of the highest honors attainable at the University. Conscious as Newman must have been of his gifts of mind, he was never proud nor did he glory, in their possession. He was fully cogni- Q lx If will :ii T. wr? t .1 I .

'Ill . -mnmngur site 1 r jlll' lllllls Ill zant of the truth that much will be required of him to whom much has been given. With this ideal before his mind his days were passed in the fulfillment of his duties to God and his fellow- men. In respect to the latter he was always gracious and charit- able He was 1n every sense of the word the true gentleman He lived a life of sacrifice and love so akin to sainthood that often it seemed as if St Augustine had reappeared to walk the ways of men. His personality and powers grew with the passing of years and won, four years after his ordination in the Church of England, the curacy of St. Mary's. Here he became the moral and intellec- tual leader of this great center of learning. Here his powers as a 'preacher drew the young Oxonians to worship at his feet. Here, too, he spent himself in his work, so much so that it began to affect his health. He was badly in need of a rest. Hence, when Hurrel Froude, his bosom friend, likewise delicate in health, invited him to make a trip to southern Europe, he gladly accept- ed. There he found opportunity to renew his failing health in the doubly soothing atmosphere of European skies and affectionate friendship. Together these two tired souls cruised along the Mediterranean, seeking the fountains of health amidst the once resplendent glories of the ancient world. During this cruise, in the hours of loneliness and foreboding that frequently overcame him, he wrote some eighty-five verses, one of which has endeared 'itself to the hearts of all those who seek light amidst the en- circling gloom of this earthly pilgrimage. Early in 1833 he was back in England ready to begin those years of unimaginable sorrow that lay before him. He returned just in time to become involved in the scholarly Oxford Move- ment. This was an attempt upon the part of some of the in- tellectuals at Oxford to revive in the failing religious fervor of the Anglican Church that fiery ardor and hunger for the king- dom of God which characterized the primitive Church. Fervor zeal and the old enthusiasm had given way to a deadening com- placency. The great bulk of the clergy walked along the smooth path of least resistance enjoying an honorable prestige among their people by the few external functions they performed upon Sundays. For the rest they differed neither outwardly nor in- wardly from the great bulk of the laity to whom the Church was .a useful organization for the maintenance of Religion, as by law established But the awakening came at last. It was brought about by the famous Oxford Movement, a historical event so prodigious in .-l--- 'llllllllllllll' 7 7 7 !

Such a movement directed at the very foundation of the English system of religion so comprehensive in scope and so vital to the heart of every true Englishman could not long remain unnoticed. It sought an out- let for its expression in the Tracts for the Times. Newman became the principal author of these. They were published at irregular intervals and were distributed throughout England, but, for the mo't part they never penetrated beyond the ranks of the clergy. Indeed, many of the English people would never have heard of the Tracts were it not for that famous Tract Ninety which broke upon England one morning causing such consternation as even England scarcely ever beheld. Men thought that the foundation of their carefully wrought religious palladium.was being torn from under their feet. Like the tyrannical mob of old, clamoring for the death of the Saviour, England rose and demanded the perpetrator of this treacherous attack. lt was in such an hour of high national excitement that the man who had once been the moral and the intellectual leader of the greatest center of learn- ing in all England, fell. The very moment that English patriots learned that Newman was the author of this Tract, his life was no longer a matter of private interest. 'It became thereafter the property of England. Thus the man who had gloried in peaceful study within the four-walled cloister of his little room, was there- after dogged and disgraced, the object of public and private suspicion and hatred in every act he performed. ' He was ordered to withdraw his Tract. But this heuwould never do. He could never be persuaded to witness against truth. Throughout life he sought truth zealously, and, once he found it, no power upon earth could force him to relinquish it. He pre- ferred to sacrifice all things in life rather than ever to stand witness against the eternal truth. He preferred to incur the hatred and the animosity of all England, and even of the Oxford he loved so well rather than ever to retract the truth In the meantime England showed its displeasure. F rom every quarter came letters of denunciation. He was branded an agent of Rome. He was dogged and watched, hated and despised, in- sulted and spurned upon the streets. But through it all Newman held his peace. He kept up his studies, preached upon occasions and felt his way groplngly. As the months passed the necessity of resigning his post at St. lVIary's became a growing conviction. And thus came a day when the tall gaunt figure of Newman was no longer seen in the principal church at Oxford. Thus ceased that bell-like voice which so often rang through the church .mum m 5 11,9 F . ill Ili - i if alll.. 1llfO lllllllll 7 I Xl ll53ll 4 I n ill. alll: Illllllllllllla gllls Ellllllg alll: Slllllllllllllk ui.

S - u mums. 5 1 g 'f E 'mumnm' of St. Mary s charming the multitudes of eager students who came to seek peace under the wondrous spell of this inspired prophet of the Most High. Thus came the awful pause which fell on Oxford when that voice had ceased and we knew we should hear it no more. For Oxford he had forever ceased to speak. In the meantime Newman retired to Littlemore, a dreary little v1llage just outside of Oxford. Here, with a mere handful of faithful followers he led a life of prayer and study. What heartaches his sens1t1ve soul now suffered, in rejection and aban- donment by those he so deeply loved, is a story, a tale of anguish of which the world knows little. Picture him seated at his desk, among his books, his sole source of consolation in these hours of great trial. Here he probed the annals of the past searching and praying for that light which by degrees appeared upon the horizon, revealing the broad high- ways that lead to life and truth. Every advance in his studies brought him nearer to the truth, daily strengthening the growing conviction which reason accepted but heart rejected, that he must leave the Church of England, the very soul of his life. But through it all he never faltered. Courageously he struggled on guided by principle until conviction swept him from his last Anglican mooring and brought him, one rainy night in October 1845 into the bosom of the true Church H The news of Newman s conversion rekindled the dying embers of animosity The land was Hooded with denunciations of the man who alone succeeded in awakening the Established Church from her age-old self-complacency. But Newman never flinched He obeyed the voice of duty without question, unselfishly giving whatever it demanded Sometimes it spoke to him from -the pages of some forgotten textg sometimes from the unbroken silence of the sickroom' sometimes during moments of medita- ministry to the forefront of a great cause, to Littlemore and its loneliness or to the great Renunciation. Now, too, the voice called him and though the storm of denunciation was great, it never for a moment deterred him from the truth as he saw it He preferred to drink the cup of sorrow to its last dregs rather than to compromise the truth as he saw it The year following his conversion he went to Rome. Two years later now a priest of the Roman Catholic Church, he returned to England determined to lead a life of retirement. All his life he craved solltude now was the time for its realization.

He was repeat- , ,511 edly called upon to exercise his creative genius in behalf of the ffl all Catholic Church. if' His keen insight into human nature, his broad learning and 'fff his contagious desire to engage in educational work was long '55 recognized by the Holy See. Hence he was invited to become the ' j' Rector of the Catholic University which struggling Catholics i - V. were endeavoring to found in Ireland. He hesitated long, for he never underestimated the difficulties of such an enterprise. W But at length, persuaded that the Pope had fostered the project, if he yielded. Peter had spoken, and, ever loyal to him, he under- 'E ' took this great task. From the very beginningthe project seemed jf' foredoomed to failure, and its failure was made the occasion for I+ .1 heaping new insults upon the only man who could have ever - - V made it a success. But even in the face of this discouragement, 'A l for seven years, during which period no phase of his work was V-l31fafgf,f - - vi? 1.1.- his indomitable spirit refused to be defeated. He struggled along f Q . too mean or too trivial to command his attention. He journeyed V4 through all Ireland endeavoring to inspire the people with enthusiasm for the proposed University, but in the end, his efforts proved fruitless, and when at length he found the task insuperable, he returned to Birmingham to begin that period gl ff, of his life which was, in many respects, the saddest he ever knew. fi It seemed to be God's will that he should take part in a whole succession of schemes, which, like the foregoing, were to end in if disillusionment and failure. Shortly after returning from Eng- 'fi .5 land, he was induced by Cardinal Wiseman to undertake the editorship of a new English version of the Scriptures. Newman P if welcomed the proposal and set to work with that studiousness 7 which characterized all his work. He enlisted contributors and , E threw himself into the work with all his old enthusiasm. But it l l was all useless. Booksellers with large stocks of the Douay Ver- A gl sion began to protest. Cardinal Wiseman finally dropped the matter and Newman had one more humiliating failure to add to , v his life. He was now an old man, sixty-three years of age. The future, how sterile and hopeless it appeared to him now, a few years of , insignificance and silence, and then the grave. But God never l j abandons those whom He loves. In the midst of his sadness there ' occurred an event that rekindled the fire of his soul and re- . established him forever in the heart of England. Charles Kings- I ley, a distinguished English Divine, attacked his good faith and , i A. 4' if 1 5 Qi:'aR,:L3,3-f53751rC2 1 .

He shrunk from this task with that horror which one always feels in making personal disclosures' but the time came when he could not longer resist the voice of duty. Then it was that he penned that famous work which has since become a classic. Shortly after this period, now no longer an object of suspicion, within or without the Church, he felt himself in a position to carry out one of the cherished dreams of his life. This was to found a Church at Oxford University for the benefit of Catholic undergraduates. But this dream, like all those which had pre- ceded, was in the end frustrated, and thus came another defeat. These repeated disappointments were almost too much for . 5 L W. .lu llll u - Ye . llg . lj . 1 W1 M -U ' 3 2 -- - ., H. ,,.. v, . ., 1 . ,w...,...,,. . . in -Nm ., .I X .. - ef.- l-..

He would devote must prepare himself for death which seemed so near. So he re- solvedg but in that resolution he had not reckoned with the Almighty, who again called him to the defense of the Church in 1870. In that year he wrote his famous Letter to the Duke of Norfolk, an exposition of the doctrine of infallibility so ration- ally and clearly explained that it immediately dissipated the English prejudices concerning that prerogative of the Pope Here one cannot but help recall how frequently his creative genius engaged him in controversy, but never, in all the years of his life, save but once, did he employ his talents for the mere pleasure of conquest. His interests and his pursuits in life lay in fields far removed from the din of battle and the clash of combat With but one exception he engaged in controversy -for a cause removed from his own personal interests. Duty was ever the clarion call that drew him from his cloistered seclusion and per- suaded h1m to don the armor and engage in battle against the enemies of the Church. Always he fought for truth as he saw it bringing to its defense all the diverse powers of his intellect. The joy and the peace of his declining days were clouded by the unexpected death of Ambrose St. john, his bosom friend and fellow Oratorian. For thirty-two years they had traveled through life together sharing alike its joys and sorrows. No small wonder then that Newman's spirits sank to the depths of anguish in the loss of this angel guardian whom God had sent him when all other had failed him. With his death Newman l66ll lllillllllllllg Elllg gllllllg alll! Hllillllllllll himself to the ordinary ,tasks of the oratory, but above all he manifested an ever increasing lassitude of mind and body. He is now an aged man who thinks himself swiftly approaching the valley of shadows, never for a moment dreaming that his light was yet to shine before the world a decade longer, during which he was to become the object of singular honors. With the death of the saintly Pius IX in 1878 came the great Leo, who was asked by English Catholics to bestow some mark of recognition upon Father Newman for his great labors and sanctity of life. The curious series of incidents which preceded the presentation of this suggestion to the Pope through Cardinal Manning showed the old antipathy which had placed these two great characters, Manning and Newman, at odds with each other. Cardinal Manning, for some unaccountable reason, delayed for several months and the matter would have been forgotten, after the manner that had been customary where honors for Newman were concerned, had not the Duke of Norfolk intervened. Shortly after, a letter of recommendation reached the Pope and he, relaxing the Roman rule of residence, summon- ed Newman to Rome where he was made the recipient of such honors as even Rome scarcely ever beheld. But after the recep- tion of such signal honors, Newman, the champion of Catholicity in England, returned home and only his tiny red skullcap marked him as a Prince of the Catholic Church. He had traveled the high seas of life exposed to the merciless winds of doubt, of loneliness and of misunderstanding. Storm after storm had waged about him, but through them all he moved onward, trusting in the kindly light that never failed him. He spent the remaining years of his life in the amenities of friendship and in the duties of his office. Those who were with him during this period ever speak of his noble accomplishments, his charming personality and his wonderful sanctity of life. Thus he lived in intimate communion with God and fellowmen until death came and flights of angels sang him to rest. ln life he expressed the desire that his body be laid beside that of Ambrose St. John. This wish was fulfilled for his body was borne to the little cemetery and laid to rest beside this friend whom God had given him in those trying years of his life, when all others had failed him. Thus ended the life of him who sailed o'er moor and fen, o'er crag and torrent till the night had passed away, and upon other shores he beheld those angel faces smile whom he had loved long since and lost a while. l67ll -an A i , 1-BN-. , ,W - 4, W rt.. 1118. .. f f-'Wuxi' f. ng:fcd J1.., ..1.

' , To a multitude of lVIoore's Irish Melodies, all truly conveying in both measure and language the sorrows, the hopes, and the joys of Ireland in its day of darkness, a world of literary men have paid homage, a generation of famous poets and authors have given praise, and a people haveattached their hearts be- cause they are inspiring commemorations of Ireland's glory and prophecies of her destiny. It is of particular interest to note that about fourteen years before the Duke of Wellington proposed to the throne the great measure of Catholic Emancipation Moore addressed the following lines to Wellington as a testiq mony to the latter's distinguished victories' on the Continent uttering his praise as an expression of the spirit of Erin Hail, Star of my Isle! said the Spirit, all sparkling , With beams such as break from her own dewy skies- Through ages of sorrow, deserted and darkling I 've watch'd for some glory like thine to arise For, though Heroes I 've number'd, unbless'd was their lot A nd unhallow'd they sleep in the crossways of Fame But oh! there is not One dishonoring blot On the wreath that encircles my Wellington s name.

Moore opened the hearts of all, not with his melodies only but with his satires his plays, and his longer poems. Keyed con- stantly by an lnborn hatred for tyranny and a passionate love for freedom, his works have warmed their way into the con- sciousness of his countrymen by the truthful expression of feelings common to all. In the writing of his greatest poem, Lalla Rookh, a dramatic story of the Grient, Moore sought in vain for an inspirational theme, until he awakened the same spirit that has spoken in his Melodies. He describes in his Auto- biography the series of disheartening experiments which he had undergone for a whole year in his efforts to write this poem, and makes the following comment: But, at last, fortunately, as it proved, the thought occurred to me of founding a story on the fierce struggle so long maintained between the Ghebers, or the ancient F ire-worshippers of Persia, and their haughty Moslem masters. From that moment, a new and deep interest in my whole task took possession of me. The cause of tolerance was again my inspiring theme, and the spirit that had spoken in the melodies of Ireland soon found itself at home in the East. Knowing the success which Moore enjoyed in expressing his love of tolerance and his hatred for false standards of rank, one does not find it difficult to visualize him in private life as a most ardent advocate of fairness and of just reward for service and accomplishment. At a gathering of literary men in Ayr for the purpose of honoring Robert Burns, Moore listened with con- tempt and fury to the epithets the distinguished peasant and the illustrious ploughrrtah with which Burns was designat- cd by a peer of Scotland When Moore had accepted the toast made to him he mdignantly recalled the contempt of the toast- master and with his arm quivering spoke the following words But, gentlemen' it signifies hothmg to genius whether it is Byron the peer or Burns the plozlghman! for to use his own energetic language the rank 1S but the guinea stamp, the rrtah's the gowd' Noth1ng that Moore had ever written or said produced the electric effect which these words did and the immense hall immediately rang with plaudits it had never before known The talent of Tom Moore was not limited merely to an ex- pression of the feeling which occupied those around him, but 5? ll71ll , K U Numm un. 1 , , ji 3 vi - wg, .A 1 I ' ii 11, f W, , . . :nmmuinu ll- sllllll- m ' 55555 sz u I 'X If fflX 1.--, s , A 1---- ll Hlllllllllllll' '- . i-I extended 1tself to the more common emotxons of everyone and , every age Insplratlons of a rel1g1ous and a soclal nature the emotlons of youth and age thoughts of lxfe and death of human relatlons ln frlendshlp and 1n love all these find most beaut1ful expresslon mn h1s poems In thls l1m1ted space lt IS poss1b1e to g1V6 but a few examples of h1S mlmltable power 1n such regard AS DOWN IN THE SUNLESS RETREATS' As down in the sunless retreats of the Ocean Sweet flowers are springing no mortal can see, So, deep in my soul, the still prayer of devotion Unheard by the world, rises silent to Thee, My God! silent, to Thee Pure, warm, silent, to Thee.

Bzsl1op:O Reilly HEN the Episcopal See of Scranton was vacated at the death of The Rt Rex Bishop Hoban the filling of this See was eagerly awaited as an event of more than usual importance for both Scranton and the country at large For the Diocese of Scranton has a number of problems peculiarly its own, which make the function of its incumbent ia .task that re- quires great ability, tact, and holiness of life in an uncommon degree. As is the case in a number of other dioceses, it has a population composed of many different races and nationalities a trying condition for any bishop. Besides, the existence of a regrettable schism that has alienated not a few of the flock, has not lightened the burden of administration. Another character- I Bllllllllllllh uguunllllle Q---2 n T 2---E E - Q uxilno 1' 2 1 X 1ununnuF . ' 7 . 7 . . . . , Ill lllllli Ill istic is that Scranton is the center of a vast industrial district where labor unrest, and strikes are, matters of ordinary occur- rence. In these great labor disputes, it has been the custom to ask the bishop to sit as arbiter between worker and employer Needless to say, the Bishop of Scranton must be a priest of unusual qualifications. The Holy Father chose a man that was well able to cope with these trying situations when he selected Msgr. Thomas C. O'Reilly, D. D., LL. D., pastor of the Cathedral in Cleveland Ohio, as Bishop of Scranton. Bishop O'Reilly has had a noteworthy career. In his student days at home in Cleveland and in Rome where he earned the degree of Doctor of Theology, he showed himself a brilliant thinker and a thorough student. As a young priest, when he acted successively as assistant at the Cathedral professor at the Diocesan Seminary and as administrator of numerous diocesan affairs he displayed a wealth of ability for organization and a fund of tact and common sense. As pastor of the Cathedral parish in Cleveland, he was noted for the paternal care of his Hock and his excellent management of parochial affairs Despite his many duties as a churchman, he always found time to interest himself in the civic affairs of Cleveland Hls presence and his advice were always solicited by the various groups which had to do with the advancement and progress of his native city The Holy Father has long been aware of the distinguished services rendered by Bishop O Reilly. As early as 1914, the Holy See raised him to the dignity of a Domestic Prelate. The glowing testimonials offered to him in his native and his adopted I Ill! :Ill - 5 -llllll: a v 1 Y 4 r A . .

' We but echo the desire of his many admirers when we beg that God may bless his efforts in the episcopacy and spare him to his Hock for many fruitful years. M ary Immaculate OLUME XI of the Seminarists Symposium has been edited under the patronage of Mary Immaculate. Before beginning its production, the members of the Staff placed themselves under the protection of her who was conceived with- out the stain of original sin. Thus every effort has been expended with a feeling of trust and confidence in Our Immaculate Mother It was not inappropriate therefore, that we should have selected the Immaculate Conception as the art theme for the present volume Since we had placed ourselves under the guidance of the Patroness of our country, we deemed it most fitting to com- memorate Mary conceived without sin, throughout the pages of our book We beg to call to your attention a few of the methods used to honor Our Blessed Lady under her title of the Immacu- late Conception The cover design is featured by a representation of the Semin- arians Grotto of the Immaculate Conception. The same repre- sentation may be found on the pages which contain the pictures of the Ordinandl In addition to this the Ex Libris and the border design throughout the book are symbolic of the various virtues attributed to Our Immaculate Mother. In accord with our intention of expressing our love for our Patroness, we have com- memorated by means of a drawing opposite the Title Page the great memorial being built in Washington to honor Mary conceived without sin This memorial The National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, has, since 1920, been in process of construction on the grounds of the Catholic University of America This beautiful basilica, which is to be one of the most give to the United States the distinction of having the world's most magnificent memorial to Mary Immaculate.

It seems fitting that the shrine representing the gratitude of Catholic America for the many favors received through the intercession of Our Blessed Lady should be incorporated in a book composed and published under her patronage. Mary Immaculate is in a special manner the Patroness of the seminarian. He who must lead a life of virtue in a world where temptation and sin are all too common, can find no better assis- tance in his ministry than the guidance of her who was entirely immune from the stain of sin. We feel, then, that we are express- ing the wish of the Seminary, in producing Volume Xl in honor of the Immaculate Conception. ' The Catholic Book Club OR many years, the proponents of Catholic letters have been making a valiant effort to obtain a fitting place on the stage of American thought. They have been encouraged by the realization of the great influence that English, Irish, and other European Catholics have exerted upon the intellectual activity of their respective countries. But there have been great, and until recently almost insurmountable obstacles which have prevented the attainment of such a goal. It was, for example, difficult to decide just what books were not only Catholic in thought but worthwhile from a literary point of view. Then, too there arose the need of having some method for selecting works possessing these indispensable qualities, from the vast mass of literature now being published, and making known these selections to the World and especially the Catholic world. An- other problem was that of finding a market for literature that would be of a h1gh order and acceptable from the Catholic point of view , The book-of-the-month-club idea which has been used so widely w1th1n the past few years, presents itself as the long sought solution for the above-mentioned difficulties, and, for this reason has been chosen by the newly organized Catholic Book Club Its board of distinguished Catholics, including Kath- leen Norr1s M1chaelWill1ams, Dr. James J. Walsh and Father Wilfrid Parsons S J 1S well qualified to search the field of liter- ature f or books that represent the ultimate in Catholic thought and f'X i ll78ll ' ' + 55552 I Ill IIIIIL . 7 7 1 . . 7 . . . 1 . . . . .

The club is easily able to make its selection known to a wide circle. And of very great advantage to Catholic letters is the favor which the Catholic Book Club has given to Catholic thought in providing a market for the work of Catholic authors. The benefits accruing from the success of the project are in- calculable. It means that books embodying the Catholic view on vital and far-reaching subjects will no longer be hidden away in the maze 'of books that crowd the shelves of bookshops. It means, too, that the Catholic attitude on matters of prime im- portance to the moral and economic well-being of the nation cannot any longer be denied a hearing. Evidence of these benefits can be seen in the fact that books already chosen by the Catholic Book Club have received high praise from the secular book-of- the-month associations. In addition, under Catholic auspices, it gives to the Catholics of the country ready access to the best books published. Another notable result is the incentive given to Catholic authors for devoting their talents to the creation of worthwhile literature. The knowledge that there will be a large sale of their books, provided that their work reaches the high standard required by the Book Club, may be expected to have a weighty influence on the work of our Catholic writers. The secular book-of-the-month associations have been responsible for stimulating the sale of meritorious books, and there is every reason to expect that the work of the Catholic Book Club will have a similar effect in the Catholic field. In view of the profound infiuence that the Catholic Book Club will be able to exert upon the world of letters, Catholic and otherwise, we cannot refrain from expressing our sincere desire that the success that has so far attended their efforts may con- tinue to accompany the projects of the leaders and supporters of this progressive Catholic movement. The Solution of the Roman Question , HE whole world, and more especially the Catholic world, cannot but rejoice with the Holy See and the Italian government upon the occasion of the settlement of the Roman question. The benefits bound to result from the removal of this point of conflict, make it an event of unusual importance in the history of the world. Too much credit cannot be given to those who effected the agreement-the Pope and his Secretary of State for the Church, and Signor Mussolini for Italy. It was ll79ll Qllllllllllllk Slllllli E 5 . . . . . . . 1 . . fff the patient labor of these three, who for a period of several years have striven to reach a common ground in their demands, that brought about the initiation of friendly relations between the Vatican and the Quirmal. What will be the ultimate effects of this action cannot be easlly foreseen. However its immediate results are rather ob- vious The Pope once more becomes a Sovereign, and the Vatican a Sovereign State. The Holy See is indemnified, in part at least for the illegal and unjust seizure of the Papal States by Gari- baldi and the House of Savoy. The necessity for a United Italy under one king and government is recognized by the Holy See, and the claim of the Vatican to the Papal States is withdrawn. Furthermore, the many anti-clerical features in the Italian Civil Law are to be removed, and the wishes of the Church, as expressed in the Code of Canon Law, will be respected. Undoubtedly, it is a source of surprise to many that the Vati- can should be willing to surrender its claim to the Papal States, a claim which was defended with so much bitterness for a period of more than fifty years. It will be no mystery, however, to those who are aware of the sad condition resulting from the estrange- ment of the Vatican and the government. The King and a num- ber of high officials were under the ban of excommunication and many an earnest Catholic hesitated to accept office under his own government because of the fear that he was thereby giving approval to the unjust seizure of the Papal States. This lament- able condition could not help the cause of religion in Italy, and the Holy Father is to be commended for taking advantage of the opportunity of making a settlement so advantageous to the Church. The Pope's position among the nations of the world is strength- ened by the recognition of his status. Accordingly, the leadership of the Vatican in a movement for world peace will be greatly enhanced by this pact for it makes the Pope an independent ruler equal to other sovereigns in power, and superior to them in his inliuence. This profound infiuence that the Holy See may now be expected to exert for harmony and peace in the world is not the least of the benefits that will result from the resumption of the sovereignty conceded by the Italian government It is no wonder then that it should be the sincere wish of all Catholics that God may bless the friendship so felicitously renewed between Italy 'md the Holy See. as ll80ll mnnmun: I - , S 2 - : Ellllllg e , ' 3 3 illlllllllllll' r E---5 '1 no u.

May we perhaps have to deny HIS very existence? Within the last few months these questions have been asked more than once, and affirmatively answered to the accompaniment of blatant notices in the secular press, and a notlceable agitation in scientific circles. Perhaps the most note- worthy, or to be more exact, noticeable occasion of this kind, occurred during the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, held in New York at the begin- ning of the current year. This great body had held its various committee-meetings for some time without attracting undue notice in the press, until a professor of history in a small New JC Nfl: 'K f Illlllll llllll. England college leaped into prominence by reading a paper con- taining the assertions: that in the light of modern scientific research, a new definition of God is necessaryg that our old con- cept of sin must be abolished, and that new rules of conduct, based on a scientific foundation, be devised. Of course this statement was hailed by the newspapers as though it were the keynote of the proceedings of the Scientific Association' While it cannot be denied that utterances of this kind are often made, and truly represent the opinions of some scient1sts, we must not forget that orthodox scientists have no use for such opinionated assertions. Those men who have given their lives to scientific research, who have increased our scientific knowledge of the universe, well know, and do not hesitate to say, that our ignorance of the universe is abysmal. They are one in de- ploring the entrance of scientists, knowing so little of their own realm, into the domain of theology of which they know nothing. How little attention then, should be paid to men, who, like Professor Barnes are not scientists, and are, we fear, but super- ficial historians and philosophers. What brings this point out very clearly is the fact that the proceedings of the Association were taken up for the most part in showing how little we really know and understand of the phenomena about us. The leader of the convention did not hesitate to deplore the attention given to this paper and its president, Dr. Millikan, strongly rebuked those who dogmatize about matters of which they have no knowledge. Where does the Catholic stand, in the light of this Godless theory? Other churches and persuasions may be agitated by the 1-K ll81ll rmimmun.

IS supported by those tive lrrefutable arguments of St Thomas It is true these proofs have been scorned by many philosophers the apostles of the induction system the senti- mentalists the positivists the evolutionists and the upholders of relative truth have all denied the efhcacy of St Thomas proofs for the existence of God But their systems and their theories have passed away while the arguments of St Thomas are today as cogent as they were in the thirteenth century. The philosophic systems that followed St. Thomas were built on the sand of false principles, and the tide of changeable public opinion washed them away. But the teaching of St. Thomas has a solid foundation. Built on reason, his proofs for the existence of God are as convincing today as they were six hundred years ago. 55323 As the years roll on, and new advances are made in the field 1 f of science, new ways of living are cultivated, new systems of thought are propounded, many will be startled by the question: Must we alter our concept of God in the light of these changed conditions? The Catholic will not be alarmed by such a query since for him the' existence of God is an unassailable truth. His certainty that there is a God rests on two adamantine pillars, .faith and reason.

Jimmy, as we familiarly call him, is a man who knows well the keen satisfaction of unselhsh service towards his fellowmen. Besides preparing himself for his priestly duties, he was manager of the Seminary Store for several years, senior of his class, vice-president of the St. Thomas Literary and Homiletic Society, and an active member of many of our committees. ll39ll THE REV. PAUL F. XYIIESMANN, A. B., PH. L. Diocese of Plllsbzzrglz Father Wicsmann came from Pittsburgli in 1917 to begin hisvocational studies at St. Vincent's. During these twelve years he made a splendid record in scholarship and extra-curricular activities. For four years he was business manager of the College Journal. All of us knew Paul as the enthusiastic jack-of-all-trades, but few of us realize that he is also an accomplished violinist. ll90ll THE REV. E. CHARLES PATTERSON, M. A. Diocese of Pizflsbeufglz In 1918, Pat, an earnest student, placed himself under the guidance of the Benedictine Fathers at St. Vincent's and since that time never quitted his original earnestness. In the many branches of learning and variety of sports, he has gained great respect. Two years ago he was the art editor of the Symposium and vice- president of the Mission Societyg and was at all times a lover of athletics. - llfllll THE REV. MICI-IAEL B. FIALKO, PH. B. Diocese of Pittsbmfglz Father Fialko, a native of Braddock, Pa., began his youthful training at St. Vincent's in 1918. Now, a learned and accomplished scholar, he enjoys the reward of his years of persistent application. We have found Mickey a difficult opponent on the handball court, a dexterous athlete in a baseball uniform, an able alumni editor of our yearbook and a very capable secretary of our St. Thomas Literary and Homiletic Society as well as an extensive litteratezw. 119211 Y l THE REV. REGIS M. HICKEY, A. B., PH. L. Diocese of Pittsburgh Father Hickey, a resident of Scottdale, Pa., has attained considerable distinction as a scholar during his decade of years at St. Vincent's. We shall always remember Rege as the hery-tongued speaker at our student meetings, where he displayed his strong charac- ter and sound learning by his courage and logic. In the course of years he has filled all the offices in the editorial department of our school publications. ll93ll THE REV. HERMAN E. NIATTINGLY, A. B., PH. B. Diocese of Columlms The early years of Father lVlattingly's preparation for the priesthood were spent at the parish high school of the Blessed Sacrament Church, Newark, O. In 1919, he began his course of studies at St. Vincent's where he has since distinguished himself by his brilliant talents. Matt, a profound student of literature, has demon- strated his ability during his five years of service in the editorial department of the Symposium. He was editor- in-chief of Volume X, the book that last year achieved phenomenal success. 119411 V s l 1 4 , THE REV. CARL VW. SCI-IEIl3N V Diocese of Toledo ' i Father Scheib received his early education under the guidance of the Capuchin F athers, at St. Fidelis Semin- ary. He entered St. Vincent's in 1921, for the pursuance of his classical, philosophical, and theological studies. In school and on the campus he has been the same diligent and popular Carl. He received seven letters for varsity athletics, a wealth of experience during live years on the Symposium Staff, and a keen sense of stage art, having participated in six productions. ll95l ,f THE REV.. JOSEPH Ji. HOCHBERG Diocese of Pittsburgh During his years of preparatory studies for the holy priesthood both at St. Fidelis Seminary prior to 1923, and at St. Vincent's, Father Hochberg lost no oppor- tunities for developing his innate business ability. His activities have brought him into close Contact with all of his seminary associates. Over and above his regular classroom requirements, Joe has for two years been treasurer of the Mission Society in which office he has invented several new methods of acquiring funds for many hard-pressed workers in the Mission fields. ll96l THE REV. STEPHEN N. SCHNEIDER Diocese of Pittsburgh St. Fidelis Seminary was the scene of the early school- ing of the tall robust Father Schneider. We have found him to be a man, equipped with many Very useful qualifications which are not concealed by false modesty. An earnest student and a man of initiative, Steve has applied his ability as a member of the Symposium Staff for four years, and has been an aggressive worker in our missionary activities. ll97ll THE REV. JOSEPH A. WANK Diocese of Pittsburgh Josephinum College at Columbus was the scene of Father Wank's introduction to the Classics. He spent two years at Duquesne University, before beginning his sacerdotal studies at St. Vincent Seminary. When it became known that joe had a hobby for photo- graphy, he was easily prevailed upon to apply his ability in the interest of the Symposium. To lead a group of students over the Westmoreland hills on free afternoons seems to have afforded him his greatest recreation. ll'98ll THE REV. THOMAS P. GILBERT, A. B. Diocese of Columbus Father Gilbert, a native of Newark, O., received his high school and college training from the Jesuit Fathers at Campion, entering St. Vincent's in 1923. That he gave his whole-hearted cooperation to every activity in which he was engaged, whether it pertained to studies or to less important pursuits, is evidenced by the many diverse offices he has held. He has been chronicle editor -of the Seminarisjs' Symposium, delegate to the Pitts- burgh Local Conference, and secretary of the St, Thomas Literary and Homiletic Society, the duties of which offices he fulhlled in a most capable manner. J .,..,, '4 ll99ll THE REV. THOMAS B. HARNYAK, A. B. Diocese of Pittsburglz Father I-Iarnyak, a former student of Duquesne University, began his theological studies at St. Vincent Seminary in 1925. During his four years in our midst, Tom has attained great success in his studies, as well as wide popularity in recreational pursuits. Gifted with a keen ,critical sense, he has been occasionally called upon to exercise that talent in an official capacity. Very capably has he filled the offices of president, secretary, and critic of the Slovak Division of the St. Thomas Literary and Homiletic Society. moon THE REV. JOSEPH V. SMARSH, A. B. Diocese of IIll7'7 iSbZL7'g Four years ago Father Smarsh came to St. Vincent's from Mt. St. Mary College, Emmitsburg, Md., where he had become very popular due to his winning person- ality. During his seminary years we have found Joe to be ever the same happy persistent student. His activity in all the exercises, sports and diversions of the Semin- ary is a sure indication that he will be a zealous worker in the Vineyard of Christ. lI101H THE REV. WILLIAM P. lVlAXWELL, M. A., S. TH. B. Diocese of Cleveland Father Maxwell prepared for his high calling at Duquesne University and the Seminary of Our Lady of the Lake, Cleveland, and came to St. Vincent's for theology in 1925. Bill has tried his hand at athletics but we have learned that he prefers the more general exercise of Walking for refreshing himself between the hours of persistent study. His scholarly ability is among his outstanding qualities. I L'102H ,L l THE REV. ANDREW J.,HUDAK, A. B. Diocese of 3 Cleveland The early years of ' vocational' training of Father Hudak were spent under the tutelage of the Brothers of Mary and the diocesan clergy at Cathedral Latin School, and Our Lady of the Lake Seminary, Cleveland. Since he began his theological course at St. Vincent's in 1925, we have all come to know and respect I-ludie as an outstanding scholar and a devoted friend. ln our game of mitigated football very few of us have equaled his determination and ability. H1031 THE REV. JOHN A. GRABOWSKI, S. TI-I. L. Diocese of Cleveland Father Grabowski entered Cathedral Latin School in 1917 for his preparatory studies. After a brief time at Carroll University, he began his philosophical course at Our Lady of the Lake Seminary, Cleveland, and entered St. Vincent's to study theology in 1925. john was the noteworthy scholar who last year defended a thesis at a public disputation. He has also been presi- dent of the Polish Division of the St. Thomas Literary and Homiletic Society. H1043 THE REV. THOMAS A. SULLIVAN, A. B. Diocese of Pittsburgh Father Sullivan came to St. Vincent Seminary in 1925, after having completed his high school and college courses at Duquesne University, where he received the Baccalaureate Degree. His extensive musical education coupled with a very pleasing tenor voice won for him the honor of being the first president of our Seminary Choral Society. Besides appearing in many of the Sem- inary entertainments, Father Sullivan very capably filled the position of chairman of the Entertainment Committee. ll 105 ll THE REV. CHARLES J. CHERDINI, A. B. Diocese of Pittsburgh Four years ago Father Cherdini graduated from Duquesne University, Where he attained great renown as a student and an athlete. Since the beginning of his theological course at St. Vincent Seminary in 1925, he has for several years demonstrated his baseball prowess on our varsity nine. Besides being an able student Chuck has been chronicle editor of the Symposium, treasurer of the St. Thomas Literary and Homiletic Society, chairman of many of our activity committees, and a delegate to the Pittsburgh Local Conference. II106j1 THE REV. RAYMOND J. OSTERHAGE, M. A. Diocese of Toledo Before beginning the study of theology at St. Vin- cent's in 1925, Father Osterhage attended St. joseph College, Rensselaer, Ind., and St. Gregory Seminary, Cincinnati, O. Ray is an ardent lover of all outdoor sports, indulging in them, however, only as a relaxation from his more weighty pursuits. His many learned and interesting contributions to the Symposeum in past years are a sufficient proof of his theological knowledge and literary ability. II 107 1 THE REV. FRANCIS J. POWELL Diocese of Scranton Father Powell, a native of Dunmore, Pa., pursued his philosophical studies at St. Mary Seminary, Orchard Lake, Mich. He came to St. Vincent's for theology in 1925. It must be said of Frank that he has shown him- self to be an assiduous and accomplished student, a model seminarian. Though naturally he is of a quiet and reserved disposition, nevertheless, he has always been an enthusiastic partisan of all our outdoor sports. iiosi THE REV. ROBERT M. MURPHY, A. B. Diocese of Pfittsburglz After his graduation from St. Thomas High School, Braddock, Pa., Father Murphy entered Duquesne University where he received the Baccalaureate Degree and achieved especial honors in both Latin and philoso- phy. After a year at St. Mary Seminary, Baltimore, Md., he matriculated at St. Vincent's in 1926. Exceptionally proficient in all scholastic pursuits, Bob seeks no other recreation than an occasional walk with a congenial companion when he can also enjoy the fragrance of a good cigar. fl 10911 THE REV. VVENDELIN GALLOVICI-I, O. S. B. St. Vincent Archabbey Father Gallovich came to St. Vincent's from Vander- grift, Pa. In scholastic lines his chief tendency of mind has been towards linguistic attainments. Patient re- search and constant application have gained him quite a mastery of a number of Slavic tongues. For several years he has held the office of preceptor to students of the Slovak language. ll1101l THE REV. CAM1i,1,us LONG, O. B., M. A. PH. L. St. Vincent Arehabbey Father Camillus came to St. Vincent's in 1916, from Summerhill, Pa. From the very beginning of his Schol- asticate his congenial and cheerful personality won the friendship of both classmates and superiors. Though maintaining a high standard of excellence in all scholas- tic pursuits he found ample time to devote to his cher- ished avocations: music and literature. An able writer, he is responsible for much of the success of the College Journal. llllll THE REV. SEVERIN LUX, O. S. B., St. Vincent Archabbey In Father Severin one finds the agreeable combina- tion of all the elements that constitute a true religious character. Humility, generosity, obedience to monastic discipline, devotion to duty, gentleness: all these are discernable in his winning personality. As a student and scholar he is unaffectedly earnest and conscientious. In art he finds particular delight and. relaxation from the discipline of study. Many of our pleasurable enter- tainments in the College Auditorium during the past several years have been the result of his unobtrusive labor and energy. B lIl12B THE REV. THEODORE WEBER, O. S. B., A. B. St. Vincent Archabbey Thirteen years ago, Father Theodore arrived at St. Vincent's to begin his Scholasticate. He readily ac- customed himself to the new order of 'things and showed himself remarkably apt for the meeting of curricular demands and disciplinary exigencies. Amiable, con- descending, and docile,'Father Theodore has endeared himself to his associates and merited thelgood opinion of superiors. Though he has achieved much success in all branches of study, he has an especial .propensity for history. I 1111311 THE REV. Auzxis UDAVCAK, 0. S. B., A. B. St. Vfiucenl Archabbey 'F rom his earliest days at St. Vincent's, Father Alexis evinced those characteristics which presage the man destined for success. A firmness of purpose, persistent patience, and .thoroughness of -effort have marked his every undertaking, especially those in curricular pur- suits. Entrusted with the care of the large St. Vincent Nursery, Father Alexis has devoted much time and applied expert skill in preserving and increasing that .scientific treasure. W . , lI114H l THE REV. Wol.1vcsANcs PREV, O. S. B. St. Vincent Arclmbbey During his years with us Father VVolfgang has given ample evidence of the generous qualities he possesses: amiability, genial humor, and religious zeal. Aside from these traits there accrues to him the distinction of heing a talented scholar. Especially outstanding is he for his knowledge of Liturgy and mastery of languages. So nobly has he acquitted himself in the latter capacity that he has already been assigned to the professorial chair. ll115ll JOSEPII J. TSCHANTZ THIRD THEOLOGY Hempstead, N. Y.

ART DIARY V APRIL 1928 A THURSDAY 12 Refreshed in mind and body after the Easter vacation the seminarians returned today for the final term of the school year ,g TUESDAY, 17. The Mushball League was duly inaugurated with impressive ceremonies. Our own justice of the Peace, Hon. Mr. Altany threw out the first ball, starting the athletes on what is expected to be a closely-contested campaign. Captain Kukie ' modestly predicts victory for his boys. FR1DAY, 20. An unusual occurrence attracted the attention of the seminarians this afternoon ' when a forest fire- broke out on the Ridge. An excellent view was afforded those fortunate ones living on the south side of the Seminary building thereby furnishing them an afternoon's enter- tainment Even Lucas was kept from his books SATURDAY 21. In addition to the usual movie tonight, a new feature was introduced by the Col legians in the form of a radio-broadcasting pro- gram. This novel idea proved very entertaining even though it was not a real broadcasting apparatus as Nast thought. WEDNESDAY 25. Our venerable friend Mike Miller, the grave- digger of St Vincent s passed away today. We fear the cemetery will not seem the same with Mike's departure. May he sleep the sleep of the Just. MAY, 1928 WFDNESDAY 2. The fact that the opposition was directed by a former member of their team had little or no influence upon Captain Cherdinl and his Varsity athletes today in presenting Father Joyce s nine from Charleroi, with defeat.

Interest in the Mushball League is ebbing. Ku kie's team animated by the never-say-die spirit' of its optimistic leader, still has hopes of winning a game. SUNDAY, 6. At the regular meeting of the St. Thomas Literary and Homiletic Society, the members were informed 'of the discon- tinuance of Kuhn's Farm Day. Mr. Wank, though sorely dis- appointed, is nevertheless determined to keep up tradition and will eat his hot-dogs on the Cherry Path hereafter. - TUESDAY, 8. Dugan was sorry that he could I f .

The officers of the Mission Society left for Pitts- I 1 . burgh this morning to attend the Annual Conference Rally. V MONDAY, 14. Dark clouds are being blown into the lives of the ' . seminarians these days by the ill-winds of the final tests. But as Steve Schneider so poetically asserts, The ,Sun will shine again . whenthe fair breezes of vacation have blown the clouds away. 1 WEDNESDAY, 16. The philosophers were granted a holiday to- , day after the first class in honor of the Rev. Prefect's Patron, St. 1 l John Nepomucene.

Father Felix presented his Church History ex- amination, this morning following which the Philosophers and First Year Theologians felt somewhat lighter in mind and heart SATURDAY 19. Revs. Gustin, Dombrowski Zebrowski and Hettinger were the first called upon to experience the thrills of Canonicals. ' SUNDAY 20. Messrs Driscoll and Collins played the feature roles in an elaborate entertainment given in the Auditorium in honor of the Ordmandi this evening. FRIDAY 25. Father Baldwin held his test today. It must have been exceedingly interesting for even the influence of the dinner- bell failed to lure some away from their task SUNDAY 27 The Feast of Pentecost was solemnly celebrated by Pontifical High Mass and Vespers presided over by the Rt Rev Archabbot .

Suiicitf In the evening the Most Reverend Fumasoni-Biondi was form- ally welcomed to St. Vincent's by the entire community. THURSDAY, 7. The Feast of Corpus Christi was celebrated with Solemn High Mass presided over by the Most Rev. Fumasoni-Biondi. Immediately after the Mass, Benediction of the Most Blessed Sacrament was given by the Most Rev. Apostolic Delegate at an altar erected on the Archabbey lawn. Then, noon-busses-farewells. Another year was over! SEPTEMBER, 1928 THURSDAY, 13. lVlany new faces were noticed among the semi- narians as singly, or in groups, they arrived to begin a new year of intellectual endeavor. FRIDAY, 14. Disregarding their fellow-seminarians' fatigue and weariness the hard-hearted wakers, as heretofore, so now also, performed their cruel duty this morning. Ray Berg cannot see the idea of arousing a man in the middle of the night, but as Mr. Marzhauser so paternally assures him, he has all year to learn. SUNDAY, 16. The feature of the initial meeting of the St. Thomas Literary and Homiletic Society, was the admission of new members. In response to the repeated requests of speech, Mr. Carmody, among others, fresh from the dear old sod of Erin, expressed his appreciation and delight at being admitted into the society. MONDAY, 17. The' seminarians are once again accustoming themselves, if slowly, nevertheless surely, to the routine of the Seminary. THURSDAY, 20. The Staff of Volume XI held its first meeting. If the enthusiasm and co-operation manifested by its members can be regarded as a criterion, this year's Symposium will un- doubtedly surpass all previous editions in merit. 513711 Qlllll SATURDAY 22 John Roach announces that demonstrations will cheerfully be given upon request concerning his unique method of cooking carp All interested may apply TUESDAY 25 Due to the Rev Professor s urgent Journey to the Ridge the Dogma lecture was curtailedtwo mmutes to allow ample time for the ten-mile trip. SUNDAY, 30. Considerable talent among the newcomers was revealed when they were called upon to entertain this evening. The grace with which Tiny Laffey performed his dance would have put a polar bear to shame, while in a vocal selection Mr. Keown's execution was unanimously favored by the audience. :llllll, 3 , fxxx gllllillllh M :H ff v : N ' i lk-?.

Father Ambrose dispensed with Dogma class in honor of the Feast of Holy Angels. FATHER Com-:ER WEDNESDAY 3. The Choral Society convened and chose Coleman Carroll president and John McCormack s dangerous rival Herman Wiethorn secretary.

The Ordinandi attired in Lord Chesterfield fashion journeyed to Pittsburgh to pose for the camera man WEDNESDAY, 10. Mr Foley's selection as chairman of the Kuhn s Farm Outing Committee was acclaimed by all. His ex- pert authority on preparing baked beans and wieners renders our George peerless in this regard. The room-to-room canvass for funds to procure records was successful as the fifteen new discs now gracing the music-stand testify.

The evening banquet satiated the palates of all after a day of considerable activity. THURSDAY, 25. Kuhn's Farm Day dawned cloudy and chilly inducing a brisk walk to the improvised picnic grounds. The hike, no doubt, influenced the appetites of the seminarians for the hot dogs and beans, served only as Mr. Foley and his staff could serve them, were eaten with relish. After the meal the Committee were accorded three rousing cheers in apprecia- tion of their success as caterers.

Archabbot and prayers offered up for the repose of the Poor Souls. Requiescant in Pace! SATURDAY, 3. The hinges on the door leading to the Rev Prefect's office were sadly in need of repair today after constant use by an apparently unending line of seminarians seeking permission to the football game in town. Scotty McCormick donned knickers with the sole intention, it is believed, of being admitted to the game at half-price. SUNDAY, 4. Several seminarians attended the First Solemn High Mass of the Reverend William Donnerbauer, who was ordained to the Holy Priesthood the previous Sunday. The Symposium takes this opportunity to wish the young Levite an abundance of God's graces in His Sacred ministry MONDAY 5 Father Rocco Maturo again honored us by his presence His rare sense of humor found an outlet in several in- teresting stories which helped pass a pleasant hour. We anxiously look forward to Father Maturo's next visit.

Perhaps its most important work was that which dealt with the 'publication of Vol. Xl of the Seminarists' Symposium, which is responsible to the St. Thomas Society for its personnel and for the cooperation necessary to make it a success. Another out- standing achievement was the very successful management that characterized Greensburg Day and Kuhn's Farm Day, the two great social events of the school year.

The Seminary Library, which it also controls, en- joyed a most successful year: the addition of a set of new volumes was made 'through the subscription to the Catholic Book Clubg and a new lighting system has been installed. g Certainly the most outstanding feature of the St. Thomas Society this year, has been its lively and interesting monthly meetings. The various matters that came up for debate were subjected to close scrutiny, and were the occasion of many eloquent discussions which displayed a sound practical know- ledge of parliamentary law. Among the activities fostered by the Society was the organiza- tion of the Choral Club and the Seminary Orchestra. It also retained an active interest in the Seminary Store and effected a number of progressive changes in its operation. In' 'WY' 'fs ? -. Y 13, l. 1 MQ' ii. r 1 f , in .

In enumerating briefly the progressive steps made by the St. Thomas Literary and Homiletic Society during the current year, we cannot refrain from giving due praise to those to whom this acceptable situation is principally due-the officers, and the Executive Board. The Rev. Prefect presided at all the meet- ings, and was ably assisted by the Rev. James Harvey, the Rev Michael Fialko, and Mr. Thomas Murphyg who held the offices of vice-president, secretary, and treasurer, respectively. The executive Board under the chairmanship of the Rev. Harvey is to be commended for the success of the Store and the upkeep of the Clubrooms. His willing assistants were Messrs. Kerr Fallon, and Gotwalt. In the annals of the Society, this year must he recorded as one of meritorious achievements. The officers may now close their books, with the knowledge that their term of office was the occasion for great benefit to their fellow-seminarlans A A -y J I160l . Elllllllllllll 'lllr -1 I . . sllllllg R S llllllllllll I Seminary Mission Society HE zeal of seminarians in behalf of the Catholic Students' Mission Crusade is not surprising. Nor is this zeal, and the love which it betokens, superficial, but sincere and lasting, for by those qualities which are fundamental in a seminarian- love of God and zeal for souls-he becomes a good Crusader, prepared to sacrifice bravely for the success of the Missions. It is only natural that, fired by this forceful purpose, the Seminary Unit has taken a prominent place in the government of the C. M. C. It has exercised a beneficial interest not only through the Pittsburgh Local Conference but also through the National Conventions of the Society. i ' 1 . i M' ' ' ' M -W 1. . -,A h Q , A -,Q EL. . . .K f' 4,1 , 4 A, llff-if ' n' 1 . .

C. and its continued success can be attributed only to the high ideals which it inculcates in its members. Zealous for greater apprecia- tion of Missionary conditions and needs, the members of the Society are united to promote the welfare of the Missions by prayer and sacrifice. Vtlithout knowledge of the needy circum- stances of the Missions it is impossible to conceive an earnest desire of helping them. Recognizing the truth of this assertion, the Seminary Unit has but lately launched itself upon an ex- tended campaign of intimate Mission instruction. By private prayers and devotions and by the daily public recitation of the rosary for the success of the Missions and by the reception of Communion at the monthly Mission Mass, the seminarians fulfill their spiritual obligations towards the Mis- sions.

It has always been a pleasure to see your smiling face, but this time, you'll have to give us more than smiles. You're a great traveler, and, l have no doubt that in your wanderings, you meet many former students who are now out in the world fighting for souls for God. Tell me how many of them you have seen within the past year, Father, and what success they are having. PEREGRINUS: Well I see its the same old story! Our annual meetings seem destined to open with conversation regarding old friends. You can be thankful that during the past year I have been thoughtful of your annual demand, else I fear you would receive very little information. However, I, too, am in Construction of The Archabbey Church H1671 . I quest of news this year-and you alone can furnish it. I meet most of your alumni and although I am well acquainted with their activities now I know practically nothing about them as students I m just as interested in their former activities as you are in their recent ones' so, for every bit of news I give you, you must return some information regarding their activities as students - ANTIQUUS: Fine! But I must be cautious. Some of the old stories for policy reasons may not bear repetition. Boys will be boys, you know, Father, and I will make every effort to offend no one and also supply all the information you desire. PEREGRINUS: Well, to begin-I just returned from Chicago where I saw Cardinal Mundelein who was entertaining Cardinal Ceretti, who presided at the Eucharistic Congress in Australia. That was a pleasant diversion from the strenuous work your eminent alumnus is undertaking for the advancement of educa- tion in the Archdiocese of Chicago. He heads a gigantic building program caring for the ever-increasing number of students in his schools. If I'm not mistaken there are, in all, thirty-seven buildings to be erected, including nineteen elementary schools. You see, in this way, the children will be grounded in the truths of their holy religion and will be able to continue their higher education in an environment that will protect their faith and strengthen it for the coming battle of life. If it were possible to have a similar system everywhere, the forces of bigotry and ig- norance would rapidly weaken and die. ANTIQUUS: His Eminence hasn't been here since 1892, when he left to finish his studies in Rome, but I do remember him. We were rather busy at the time and the Fathers were not as numerous as they are now To help out the then Mr. Mundelein offered his services as prefect They were accepted He liked boys and boys liked him As prefect he was to put it mildly, a great success and it was with genuine regret that we heard that we were to lose him PEREGRINUS While in Chicago I also met Bishop Boyle Congratulations were in order on his recent appointment to the Administrative Committee of the National Catholic Welfare Conference By the way, that makes two of your alumni on the board Bishop Schrembs has been a member for some time A I llll llllla ggnn 'Ma : . l U. m I , 5 5 2 -.r ,f - 'W f ffsllls HI!

Generally he was chosen as critic if the gathering called for one. His ability to criticise constructively was so re- markable that is was small wonder that he was chosen. In fact, I heard boys at that time say they would sooner have his censure than the praise of others. PEREGRINUS: I also saw Father Gavenda, down in the Scran- ton Diocese. Now there is an ambitious chap! He is chaplin of the :nmmumu if NX N In - lllxl I: sung I ,,,i . .11 .yi. : 5 X 5 : , f -' T X Lili 2 i in Running , - 9 U ' 77 , u ' ' t . , 0 I 1 !

He has to hustle to take care of all his duties but he is performing them in grand style. His shoulders seem to have been made to carry a big load and, judging from the ease with which he discharges those duties, no burden is too onerous for him. ANTIQUUS: I remember him well. He was here from '22- 25. He could carry a heavy burden then, physical as well as mental. He could put a man on his shoulders and carry him with ease. He was a great walker, and it was a common sight to see him coming over the horizon with some member of his walk perched on his shoulders, and Joe swinging along with no visible inconven- ience. He didn't finish his studies here but went to Rome where he earned the degree of Doctor of Canon Law. His close adher- ence to the dictum Mens sana in corpore scwo, seems to have produced a man of great ability mental as well as physical. PERFGRINUS The Holy Father recently honored the same diocese by appointing one of its men to his household. Last Thanksgiving Bishop ORe1lly announced that Father Zy- chowicz would be raised to the dignity of monsignor. This announcement was received with enthusiasm because he was well deserving of the honor He has done an immense amount of work for the Polish people in that diocese and his ability to care for a large parish and to make and keep peace among oppos- Z X, L2 lI169ll .I llllllllllllll iiiilf .....- mmmnm ing factions marks him as a capable leader.

X .-my-tl ,, , X . I., K Ill 'xill ' ANTIQUUS I don tfor the moment recall him. Wait until I look him up. Yes, he was here from '85-'89. I'm an old man but, like everybody else I too had a beginning. I didn't get here until after his time I m afraid I can't give you a story about him. ' PEREGRINUS Hold on Father, you don't get off that easily Hereafter if you can t remember the man, you must give me a story about the early days. You say you weren't here then but, no doubt, you have heard stories of things that happened before your advent to St. Vincent's. ANTIQUUS! I must confess I remember a lot of stories but its a job to select one that might interest you. Here's one I was thinking about only recently: It was always a custom to grant a little reward to those athletes whose earnest efforts brought victory to the School. The treat consisted in an extension of the evening free time until nine o'clock thus affording the ball-players a few hours of pleasant recreation and the opportunity of discussing the game. PEREGRINUS: Well, to continue, Father Zychowicz isn't the only alumnus of that diocese to become a monsignor. Father James F. Fagan was raised to the same dignity during the past year. His elevation is a reward for work well done, too. During the vacancy of the Episcopal See of Scranton, prior to the con- secration of Bishop O'Reilly, he was administrator of the diocese. This was indeed a difficult position, for at the same time he had his parish duties besides the supervision of his new church then under construction ANTIQUUS I ll have to look him up too. Ah, yes, he also was before my time He was here from 1881 till 1886. I can satisfy your appetite for stories of early days with one I heard only a few days ago. It IS about a game of baseball played in the spring of 1886. In those days a game was more strenuous than now and a man had to be a. real man to last a full game. Yes, Father, there were giants in those days This particular game lasted some live hours and when the smoke of conflict cleared away, St. Vincent's was on the winning end of a 74-68 score. Those were pioneer days and the men were able to survive a real day's work the likes of wh1ch.,would put most of our present day youngsters in bed for f'X 'gk 1117011 ' d ll Illllll Slllillllllllll- 'TIIIIIIIIIIIII' W . 'Num ' . I D U , , . K . , , :lllg . . ,. , ' E E . , 5 E PEREGRINUS: Now, Father, don't criticise our boys of today. They're a mighty line lot, but lest we fall into an argument on personalities, let's continue. Do you know that late in December, fire broke out in the rectory of St. Canice's Church, Pittsburgh. Father Fallon is pastor there. Despite the efforts of his assistants and the firemen, it spread rapidly throughout the building and destroyed it. ANTIQUUS! Is that J. Celestine? I remember him well, al- though he was here from 1892 until 1896. Many of the boys who were here remember him, too, as an animated dictionary. It afforded him supreme delight to render a speech employing the biggest words he could find. Needless to say, most of it was lost upon arid ground, but the reaction upon his hearers afforded him great amusement. PEREGRINUS: l'll mention a few young men now, so that you can rest your memory. Father Ricards is a young man so l presume that it isn't many years since his ordination. He is stationed at St. Paul's Church in Butler but his activities are by no means confined to that town. His ability as a preacher is widely known and his services are in great demand. lf popularity can be used as a criterion then it would seem that Father Ri- cards is well along the road to success as a preacher. ANTIQUUS: He is easy to remember, having studied here from 1913 until 1927. He was quite a speaker while in the Seminary but he did not permit it to interfere with his hobby of making 'movies' It was great fun to watch him and his company 'on location.' It actually consisted of about five men but it did not lack numbers. If the plot called for a mob or an army, it was supplied by each member making his exit on one side of the camera and hurrying around to re-appear on the opposite side. When the finished product was Hashed on the screen, the mob, numerically, at least,'was all that could be desired. Many were- the laughs we enjoyed over 'The Downfall of King VVhoozis' and 'The Farmer's Daughterf PEREGRINUS: Here's another easy one. Dr. Glenn, one of the professors at St. Charles Seminary in Columbus wrote a book on the history of philosophy. The volume is now in the hands of the- printer and will soon be published. There's another busy man for you. Besides writing books and attending his classes in the H1711 Seminary, he hnds time to deliver numerous lectures. He is a brilliant man and it gives him great pleasure to be of assistance to anyone who seeks his help. ANTIQUUS: Dir Glenn was here twice. Thelirst time was from 1908 till 1918. Later, he came lnaelc to study for a D. D. degree. I-Ie was a hard worker and no thesis seemed too difficult for him. To take his mind off arduous studies and to get the necessary exercise, it was his custom to hold impromptu wrestling matches with his roommate. Needless to say, both enjoyed them very much, and afterwards returned to their studies with renewed vigor. PEREGIUNUS: It seems that, instead of being orderly, as I intended, I am jumping from one part of the country to the other. I hope it makes no difference to you if my tall: should lack order at times, just so it produces the information that in- .fih . ' ,Vi x h .X Mp!! 1 I -1 ' . The Grotto on the Cherry Path Eighteen 'Years Ago ll 172 ll terests you. When I was in El Paso, Texas, I made it my business to see Father Kiergan. He is located at the Cathedral but his activities extend far outside the city. VVith his trusty Ford, he travels over quite a bit of that immense state, carrying the con- solations of religion to the scattered Catholics in out-lying dis- tricts. He was getting ready to go on a trip while I was there, and very kindly pressed me to go with him. It was a pleasure to travel with Dave and mid puffs of fragrant smoke from his briar, his ever-present companion, he gave me a resume of his work as We rattled merrily along. 'It is rather difficult', as he said to me, 'it's twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, but I like it.' And from his appearance, he did. ANTIQUUS: He would, because during his short stay here from 1926 to 1927, he was constantly on the move. Let him have his pipe with the trick top, and come what may. He had t-wo pet aversions: a long walk with congenial friends, or, if the weather Varsity Heroes of Another Day 517311 guuunxuuux A N E Y gain? . ffxx, ' Im.

This latter was always well attended because Dave could tell a story as few others could and everyone who joined in the circle was assured of a pleasant time PEREGRINUS: Here s another big jump to the east. One of the most beautiful churches in the eatern part of Pennsylvania was built by Father Seimetz. It is a brick structure tastefully designed to accommodate several large leaded glass windows which it sets off to good advantage. The rose window at the front is especially beautiful and adds a distinctive note of grace and charm to the whole building. If it is true that 'A thing of beauty is a joy for- ever,' then, Father Seimetz and his parishioners have a church which will be a source of permanent satisfaction to them ANTIQUUS! l'll have to refer to my book again for Father Seimetz. Yes, here he is. Rev. john A. Seimetz, '78- 80. You're not the only one that is making big jumps. I must go back to my first days here and even that won't carry me back to his time Did you ever hear of the field-meets, they held in those days? They were still popular when I came, and, believe me, I was sorry to see them discontinued. Field sports of running, jumping throwing, and so on, held sway for a day and the competition was keen. A few of our boys made the hundred yards in QZ seconds but not officially. To offset the seriousness of these sports, the director was accustomed to empty a bag of peanuts on the ground for the youngsters. Though therewas no prize offered for this sport, spirit was not lacking and each entrant strove to outdo his competitors both in quantity and speed of consumption That day was always looked for with eager anticipation, enjoyed fully and remembered as one of the high lights of the school- year PEREGRINUS No doubt you are interested in the changes made in the Pittsburgh Diocese, at the beginning of February 'There were quite a few of them. Father P. J. Brennan was changed from Dunbar and made pastor of St. Jerome's at Char- leroi' Father Bernard J Berg, pastor pro tem at Charleroi, was sent to St Joseph s Mt Pleasantg Father Jacob Hungermann from Willock became pastor of St. Aloysius', Reserve Townshipg Patherjoseph T Bednarik went from Avella to St. Elizabeth's Stafford Father Andrew Schaub was made pastor at St. David's .N lf174ll Elll- ' llllllllllllll :---: I ' - 5 2 2 S ' -. 3 HIIIIIIIIIIIIE .

I might tell you about two of these who inscribed their names in Baseball s Hall of Fame when they attended school here Although 'it was twenty years or so after Father Brennan left before little Jimmy Davin came to St. Vincent s it IS true that -one actually filled the shoes of the other. Both were varsity catchers and were the admiration of the spectators.

Both of them were captains and imbued their teams with their in- fectious pep which made the teams almost unbeatable PEREGRINUS: I guess 1ts useless for me to attempt to preserve any order in mentioning names and facts, but I am trying to cover as many as possible Did you hear that Father Howard Carroll gave a series of interesting lectures on Some Great Historical Questions. The series began on October 2nd and consisted of ten lectures If the first was a criterion of the last nine, I'll never forgive the duty that called me out of Pittsburgh and made me miss them ANTIQUUS Father Carroll, during the time that he spent at St Vincent s from 1922-1924 was a great tobogganing and skiing enthusiast I think that he had some premonition of the fact that he would be calledupon to conclude his studies in Switzer- of the winter sports of that country. PEREGRINUS By the way, I thought you might be interested in hearing about some of the churches which celebrated anni- versaries during the past year, so by way of a little surprise I have prepared a small list of them. The hrst was the Holy Name Church of Pittsburgh which recently celebrated its Sixtieth Anniversary The Priests stationed there are known throughout the Diocese as well as at St. Vincent's. The Rev. George Pfeil is pastor and the Revs. Fussenegger and Mihm are his assistants. There were three Silver Anniversaries in the Diocese last year St Henry Church of Pittsburgh, whose pastor is the Rev. Leo Meyer Holy Angels Church of Hays, Pa., with the Rev. P. J ONe1ll as pastor and St. Luke's Church of Ellsworth, P which proudly boasts of the Rev. John Misius, as pastor. These anniversaries were all observed with Fitting celebrations. Now I know it s almost asking the impossible to want you to mention something peculiar to each of the priests I ve Just mentioned but can t you say something about one of them at least? ANTRIQUUS The one whom I recall best of those you men- tloned, is the Re-v A Mihm. During the time he spent here, from ik lI1761l 1 ui,-.m l 5 5 ' rr- xx JW, I ' 3- L'Lt:f'fC' T' 'Z I 'E ' X kiuj li I 77 IIIBIIIIIIIIIL- a., , . 'Ill- rllllllllllllll '13-'25, he was considered one of the snappiest short-stops in our great national game of baseball. VVe sure regretted the day he had to leave us. PEREGRINUS: XVhile I was spending some time in the neigh- borhood of Columbus, I chanced upon an old acquaintance of yours, the Rev. Bob Coburn. At present he enjoys the dignity of professor of English at St. Charles' Seminary and College. In addition to his work of teaching, he is a very competent assistant at the Cathedral. ANTIQUUS: I don't wonder in the least that Father Coburn has taken up the duties of teacher, for he was noted for his gifted manner of speaking even in his younger days at St. Vincent's from '15-'22. His songs and stories made him a most popular Figure.

ANTIQUUS: VVell, Father, I'm sorry that you must take leave so soon. Your visit, as always, has afforded me much pleasure. It is a source of true happiness to hear of the work of the men who have gone forth from here as priests of God, I must confess that most of this information we usually glean from indirect H1773 sources for it seems that once they become engaged in their noble work they become so engrossed that they soon forget about us. Let us hear from you frequently then, Father, and tell us about any former friends that you may chance upon. Goodbye, Father, and be assured that we shall eagerly await your next visit.
