I i I I ''liVhy That Worried look?" i i I f THE QUESTION was addre~sed to an elderly Filipino gentleman I I on a crowded street corner of thel Escolta the other evening and, I I in the waiting crowd, I could not help but overhear the answer I - given to his solicitous friend. f "I came in from one of the Provinces to look for a suitable dormitory ~_; I in which to place my daughter for the coming school year." Began the I i old Filipino gentleman. I j "All day long I've trudged the streets of Manila but ns yet have not I f found a suitable, central, Catholic home in which to place her.'' I i "\Vhy< how providential our meeting," answered the friend. I f "I know of the very home for your daughter. The oldest dormitory i i established especially for University girls. A home where not only will i her ·moral and spiritual welfare be guarded, by such regulations as you j I yourself would make, but where her physical and mental progress is asi m~ I i •·It is not the desire of those in charge of the dormitor y to attract I that class of girls who go to the University merely for the sake of social I activities. Some wholesome recreation is necessar y but the principal i_i business of students at this particular dormitory, is study." A smile replaced that anxious tired, worn look on the face of the old I gentleman from the Provinces. He clasped his friend's hand gratefully. j_ "And the name and destination of this dormitory?" He queried. i "ST. MARY'S HALL is the name" continued his friend. - I I I "It is under the direction of the Foreign Mission Sisters of Saint I Dominic of Maryknoll, New York. Why do you not write for a pro- I spectus immediately?" I I i I There was a loud honk honking of horns and a policeman'~ shrill whis- f I tle. The waiting crowds on the busy street corner disper:ed and the two I men were lost to gaze. l_i That night the old gentleman wrote a note requesting a prospectus ~_; and addressed it to THE SISTER SUPERIOR, ST. MARY'S HALL, I 602-616 Pennsylvania Avenue, MANILA, P. I. I - I . I +---------,..~---..-1--1---------.-1+ 2 PATRONIZE OUR ADVERTISERS +~.-c'-"t~--.---,_,__,__,_ __ ------.-.c-..-.+ I I I I I . .

V, No. J2 MAY, 1929 Peace between the Vatican and Italy ·M ONDAY, Febnwry 11th, 1929, will go down in history as a mcmora',le date because on that cay in the Lateran Palace at Rcme, Cardinal Gasparri, Papal Secretary of Staite, representing the Holy Father Pius XI, and Prime Minister Mussolini on behalf of King Victor Emmanm 1 attached their signatures to two documents regulating the international situati0n of the Papacy and all future r~lati0 ns between the Holy See fi nd the Kingdom of Italy. Cardin a 1 Gasparri, Papal Secretary of State, as plenipotEntiary of Pope Pius, was aocompanied by Monsignor BorgonginiDuca, Secretary of the CongregaPLEASE RENEW PROMPTLY 354 ti on of Extraordinll(ry Ecclesiastical Affairs, · Monsignor Joseph Pizzardo, Substitute Secretary of State, and Francis Pacelli, Advocate of the Sacred Consistory Premier Mussolini, RJS plenipotentiary of King Victor Emmanuel III, was accompanied by Alfred Rocco, Minister of justice; Francis Giunta, Under Secretary of the Council of Ministers, and Dino Grandi, Under Secretary of Foreign Affairs. The c :ignitaries were seated around a large _ table, adorned with green cloth and a richly gilded bronze inkstand, with the representatives of the Vatican to the right, and those of the Italian Government to the left. The cenmony began with the reading of a letter of credenti'lh from the King to the Premier by Mussolini himself. When Mussolini began to read, all at the table arose. Cardinal Gasparri wished also to rise, but the Premier touched him and begged him to remain seate<'.l. The reading of the letter of credentials from the Pope to Cardinal Gaspard was done by Monsignor Borgongini-Duca. Then occured the signing of all the pages of the treaty and concordat. When the last page had been signed, the pages were sealed with red wax and pressed with the coats of arms of both plenipoteHttiaries. After signing, Cardinal Gasparri said that the signatures had been made with a gold pen sent by the Pope, and on behalf of His Holiness he presented it to Premier Mussolini. The Italian Prime Minister took it and appeared to be deeply moved. The signing took place at fourteen minutes past noon. A brief conversation on the beauty of the Lateran Palace and Museums followed and Monsignor Peter Ercole invited the illustrious personages to sign their naimes in the visitor's register on a page illuminated with this Latin inscription: "Justizia e Pace." Premier Mussolini, signing, read the ins:ription and said: "Very good, so it must be." Premier Mussolini and Cardinal Gasparri with their respective suites then made a visit to the Museums, Mussolini remaining always on the left of the Cardinal. The Premier admired in parfr:ular the magnificent documents concerning the Catholic Missions. At forty~seven minutes p·ast noon the Cardinal left the Palace after bidding farewell to Premier Mussolini. The Prime Minister and his suite soon followed. A great crowd assembled in the Lateran Square. A group of pupils from the Roman Seminary chanted a Te Deum when news of the signing reached them, while the crowd applauded with enthusiasm. Everywhere in Rome were ,scenes of joy and the Papal SUPPORT A CATECHIST flag of yellow and white was flown, together with the Italian flag. The Papal Flag The portion of the flag nearest the staff is yellow and the outer portion is white. The triple tiara and the keys of St. Pet::r are shown on the white field. Comment on the Settlement The number of messages of congratulation arriving from all parts of the world rejoicing with his Holiness over the treaty of conciliation was so imposing that the Vatican has announced that the Holy Father sends his thanks to all, but on account of the multitude of congratulators cannot send a reply to each. But one must not be astonish eel if from non-catholic sides so:me criticisms were made. Also some misrepresentations of the documents were published in the foreign press. And although we have yet no access to the authentic documents, (they will remain secret, until after ratification by the Italian Legislature) and merely using the reports published in the newspaper "O s s er vat ore Romano" · (February 13th), we will try to give and to explain the substance of the documents. T wo Documents In fact, the agreement between 355 the Holy See and Italy consists of two documents, but which cannot be separated. They are distinct by their name and also by their importance. The first document is called "The Treaty". It has an international value and is of interest to the whole catholic world. The second is the "Concordat" and has merely a national character, and con:-erns only the relations between the Papacy and Italy: in matters common to both parties. The two documents are inseparable, because the renunciation of Rome made by the Pope in the Treaty, is partly compensated for by the settlement of the religious problems in the "Concordat". When reading the do::uments, as given in the press, we are impressed by the spirit of conciliatioq shown by both parties, which proves that, the Holy See and the Italian Government had made up their minds to settle the Roman question. The ·Treaty By the Treaty (1) is recognized the sovereignty of the Pope over the so-called "City of the Vatican"; (2) the right of extraterritoriality is granted to some churches and other buildings; (3) the "Law of Guarantees" and every provision against the M ISSIONS NEED SCHOOLS 356 Treaty is abolished. The first paragraph recognizing the absolute power and the sovereign jurisdiction over the city of the Vatican from the international Catholic point of view, is the most important of the whole document. It is no longer "the use of such territory" as was granted in the "Law of Guarantees",the Treaty recognizes the fact and the right of the Pope's power of this specified territory, and declares that neither Italy nor any other Power can interfere with the same. The "Vatjcan City" will consist of about 160 acres, and will be approximately one half mile square. - At one time, before they began to dwindle through repeated confiscations, the Papal States comprised 17,218 square miles. (Additional territory offered to the Holy Father by the Italian Government was refused by Pope Pius XI, who said, "I do not desire subjects.") It is the meaning of the H0ly Father that the tempo1:al power over a few buildings is enough to assure the Church thefreedom,she needs in the exercise of Her sovereign spiritual mi• ssion. The relations of Catholics living outside the Vatican with the the Holy See are not in any way changed: They were of a mere spiritual nature, and so they will remain. Territorial Immunities Territorial immunities are granted to churches and edifices used for offices, or inhabited by persons having relations with the Vatican: such persons a're the Cardinals and the diplomatic representatives. Those buildings are exempted from the jurisdiction of the local authorities and considered by a fiction of law, as constituting part of the Vatican territory. Their privilege is called ''extraterritoriality." The financial compensation, which is certainly less than was due in fact, is an attempt of restitution on the part of the Italian Government. The sum offered to the Holy See and accepted does not by any means represent the value of the former Papal States. No Catholic will deny that the cession of Rome to the Italian Government was a great act of sacrifice on the part of the Papacy. Rome, the Eternal City, governed and protected by a long line of Popes, during thirteen centuries, has Qeen given up. But the sacrifice was made to save the principle of independence of the Papacy; and the thought of the loss of Rome will not sadden our hearts now that the Pope's independence has been finally obtainled. And onoe more it remains provPRAY FOR THE MISSIONS en that the Papacy never considers the greatness of a material sacrifioe when the recognition of a principle is at stake. Law of Guarantees The ''Law of Guarantees" is a law dated May 13, 1821, qy whi::h the Italian State conceded to the Supr.eme Pontiff certain privileges. recogni:z;ed the sacred and i1wiofable character of his person, assured the freedom of conclaves and so forth. It was never accepted by the Popes, because it was considered as an. attempt to obtain the ap357 proval of an unjust situation that had been created by brutal force. The "Law of Guarantees" is now repealed: that means the solution then offered was neither equitable nor just and that the rejection of it by the Popes was completely justified. How often, since 1811, nonCatholics accused the Holy See of stubborness, inspired hy hatred against the Italian Government! Now, as in the past centuries, history has vindicated the stand of the Popes. (Concluded next issue) St~ Philip / May 1st There is little, really, that is certainly known of Philip beyond the few fads that the Gospels record of him. We know, however, that he was an inhabitant o-f Bethsaida. It was from that little place that Christ called Peter and Andrew and James and John. What his mode of life wa-s before his call to the apostolate, the records do not tell. Of his antecedents we know just as little. It is known, however, that he was a member of the crowd on that momentous day, when John the Baptist pointed out the Messia. He went to his friend Nathaniel and said: "We have found Him of Whom Moses in the law and the prophets did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph." "Can any_ good come out of Nazareth?" asked Nathaniel. But Philip did not argue with him: he replied: "Come and see." And Nathaniel came, and S'l W, and was conquered for time and eternity by the personality of the Nazarene. During the public life of Jesus, we find the Apostle now and then mentioned. So on the day that Jesus, after having fed the soul of JOIN THE CRUSADERS OF L. F . 358 his followers, would do the same thing for their bodies, He turned to Philip and asked: "Whence shall we buy bread that these may eat?" And at once came Philip's answer: "Two huntired pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them that every one may take a little." Anoth~r day a group of Greeks came to Philip-perhaps because - of his own Greek name?--and asked if they might see the Master. He went to his friend Andrew and stated the matter to him. Andrew, with characteristic decision, brought the foreigners to Christ at once. And it is easy to see in imagination the kindly eye of Christ light up as He beheld these first-fruits of the Gentile harvest. Once more Philip's name is mentioned. It was the night of the Last Supper. The Blessed Sacrament had been forever instituted, and Christ spoke lovingly to His disciples. He was taking leave of them and would console them. He said: "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No man cometh to the Father but by me. · If you had known me, you would without doubt have known my Father also; and from henceforth you shall know him and you have seen him." Philiip was a little puzzled; all this might be clear to the others, but Philiip asked for a little further explanation and he said: "Lord, show us the Father, it is enough for us." The answer of Christ was, as always, kindly and gentle. "Believe you not that I am in the Father and the Father in me; the Father who abideth in me, he doth the works. Believe you not that I am in the Father and the Father in me? Otherwise, believe for the very work's sake. If any man loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him, and will make our abode with him." After the Resurrection, Philip believed without having seen and, he believed because he loved his Master so much, and he loved Him unto death. For like all the others of his apostolic companions, he went forth into the highways and byeways seeking to bring souls of men all and sundry to the truth, and his devotion to his mission cost him his life. BACK CHRIST'S ARMY Rev. F. de Snick writes us from BURN A Y (Ifugao): On Jan. 11 you sent me an alms and requested me to baptize five little girls; Teresita, Ignacia, Maria, Jovita and Gregoria. I baptiz£d Gregoria two weeks ago at Mungayan. Yesterday as soon as I reached that place the people told me that Gregoria died the day before. She was about three years old and was from Curug, a barrio of Mungayan. She was the only one of her family who was baptized. I was sorry but also pleased. I told-them that she was an angel in Heaven. In the afternoon the aunt of Gregoria came to tell me that Gregoria died and she wanted her body to be brought to the Church for the funeral. I was very much surprised to hear that from a pagan family and really at five o'clock about twenty people from Curug came down from their high mountains carrying the body of Gregoria wrapped up in a blanket and fixed on a shield, the shield 359 that they used to take with them on man hunting in for mer days. Sign of the time, i thought. Of course they had no coffin and were using w hat they had. Gregoria received a Christian funeral, and after the funeral I addressed her people telling them, that she was now an angel in Heaven, and that although we were all sorry because of her death, it was a great consolation to know that she was in Heaven. We do not have as many conversions as we are wishing for, but gradually the kingdom of God is taking the place of the kingdom of the Devil here in Ifugao. Curug is still quite pagan. There are only twenty Christians in that big village. A catechist would have a splendid field of work but.... Some four weeks ago our Father Superiorvisitedallourmission stations in Ifugao. He wanted me to construct a little church at Hano. When he was passing through that village the people asked him MISSIONS N EE D C HAPELS 360 A Typical Kalinga Ho ,1se. to have a church and showed such fine inclinations that he requested me to begin the construction. I now wonder ho·w to secure the five hundred dollars I need for it, but who knows? Some of the readers of the Little Apostle may be willing to contribute towards it. I feel sure that 1 will have one hundred baptisms in that place the first year. Please help! ~(?° From R<ev. F. L. Wins, in charge of the Mission of ANGAKI: I opened a lhtle catechism school in Legleg. I am not so much bothered with the building expenses which have been deSPREAD YOUR F AITH frayed to the amount pf P-32.00 but what pinches me is the monthly salary of the teacher. Twenty pesos a month would do temporarily. I depend upon Divine Providence and the generous readers of the Little Apostle to help me out of straits. Please accept my anticipated heartfelt thanks. Rev. F. J. Anseeuw, stationed at BAUKO, sends us a grateful letter in acknowledgement of the ten baptisms which were sent to him, by courtesy of the Little Apostle. He would not object to be indebted for same amount of baptism fees every month. Rev. F. F. Lambrechts from KIANGAN, is at a loss to know how to solve the problem to sta:rt the building of five chapels. Who would not be? Yet it is a need and a dire one, for half a dozen outstations, whose inhabitants are very well disposed, are lacking even the most modest shelter where the missionaey might 361 take his abode and gather the people to assist at Mass. On€ hundred pesos would put the good father in a position to start his building program. Who's who for Christ's sake? He closes his letter by thanking the generous donor who forwarded him five baptism fees. We feel but too glad to send him at once the six we received this morning, courtesy of Miss M. d. 0., a most zealous promoter of Manila. The fees came accompanied by the following note: In gratitude for cure of a serious sickness through the intercession of Little Flower of Jesus, please find enclosed the baptism fees for six lgorrote children to be christened the names of Angel, . Jose, Esteban, Martin, Mariano and Carolina. Sgd. R. P. d. L. This most practical token of gratitude is enhanced by the following P. S.: "I want to send thr~e baptism fees every month." May Little Flower reward your generosity. SUBSCRIBE FOR A FRIEND 362 The Songs of a People Igorrote Customs in East Benguet by Rev. Father Claerhoudt Missionary, Bokod, Benguet Co/>yrighted Lie. 343 '<;)C:Continuation XXI Boo? Ang - Nan sang HE WAS such a lovely, interesting storyteller. But he is dead now and I am allowed to give his name. "Old Pa Polkai" they called him. Old Pa Polkai knew much, very much of the old.times, and, if he himself was not a witch, an Igorrotte priest or mambunung, at least he knew and understood the art, and where they celebrated a feast or offered a kaniow, Old Pa Polkai was a man of importance and consideration and he had his say. Pa Polkai was living in "Chunduk", in an old crumbling shack, but it must be said, that he rarely occupied his building, for he almost always was to be found here or there with a friend or neighbor, and, when the evening fell, friend or neighbor said: -"Pa, Polkai, stay with us and sleep here!" And Pa ordinarily did not decline the charitable invitation but passed the night where he was. It was Pa Polkai who told me one day in the house of Otona the following story, about the origin of the Boo-ang-kaniow. Pa Polkai was happily drinking with ONE Y EAR SUBSCRIPTIO N : P l .00 short and slow, but often repeated sips, the sweet rice wine of the country. Never in his life did he refuse a drink of the Igorrote nectar-hisconscience would have reproached him his life long-and he had attended many feasts and k.aniows, which says much,-and when .all the other men were long since drl),nk, Pa Polkai was still master of his mind and legs. Yes, Pa Polkai was a lovely storyteller and when he was telling a story, everybody hung on his lips and they listened to him with .ears and mouth. ··indeed, there is a story attached to this Boo-aiig kaniow.'' So began Pa Polkai his tale. "'Kabigat and Balitok had gone to the fields; they had planted bananas and abba. One day, Kabigat and Balitok sent their mother Akodaw to fetch some abba. And when Akodaw arrived in the field, she saw that one of the banana stems had been uprooted and felled by Kerol, the thunder. So, when Akodaw saw that Kero!, the thunder, had destroyed one of the banana plants, what did she do? She ran home. And Akodaw called Kabigat and Balitok: -"You must come at once, she shouted, one of your banana J'lants has fallen and is· uprooted. At this, her-children ran as fast they could to the field and they saw Kero!, the thunder, tied to a 363 banana stem and they heard a voice from heaven that shouted: ... 'Kaladjo .... come near and deliver Kerol, the thunder, for he is deaf' ... -'All right', answered Kabigat and Balitok, 'but on one condition and it is that you give us something for our work.' And lo, from the sky there fell two teeth and the voice again was heard, saying: - "See, herejs the payment." So, Kabigat and Balitok .untied Kerol, the thunder, and this last ran away at full speed, shouting: -"You have two teeth of my wife, and therefore I wish you both my deafness. But if you celebrate the Boo-aiig kaniow, you will be cured." Kabigat and Baiitok were as deaf as a pot, but as soon as they arrived home, they offered the Boo-aiig kaniow, and lo, they were cured. The story was finished and Pa Polkai filled, orice more. his copper pipe. "You wili see', he continued, 'Otona is now offering a Boo-ang and she will be delivered of her deafness .... Just one chicken, over which the witch says his prayers and which he exorcises in honor of Kero!, and that will be enough.' The witch asks Kerol, the thunder to come down and partake of the chicken which Atona offers in his honor .... 'Kerol', he says, 'Kero!, come, and let us eat together, come and A LIFE SUBSCRIPTION: Pt 5 .00 364 cure Atona's deafness: here is ricewine and here is a chicken, come and let us eat together; and you, mambunungs of old, come and teach us the prayer of the Booang.' And tomorrow, so continued Pa Polkai, Atona will wash her face and she will say: 'Mak.alka-ma tep intungµalkoi BooJang.' 'You will disappear (deafness) for I finished the Boo-ang.' Pa Po1kai told me this story while we were talking together near Otona's housewhileshemade the Boo-ang kaniow to get rid of her deafness. And when I saw Polkai the last time at Lua-kan, near t1 1e hut of lntana, he explained to me the origin of the Nan-sang kaniow. Intana was sick; her head ad1ed to bursting and therefore s11e offered the Nan-sang kaniow. The witch was ip her house busy praying and exorcising: he had placed on the head of .Intana a small dish full of rice wine, carefully covered with an abba leaf, keeping the whole safely in its place with one of his hands, and, with the other. he was holding a chicken to be offered. He moved the chicken toward the little dish, held it on top of it and looked heavenward while praying. Pa Polkai, who knew very well what the witch was whispering and that I longed to hear that prayer, looked at me and said: "The Mambunung is now talking with the beings that are dwelling in the sky .... with Kabigat; with the sun divinity, with the moon and the stars and see here what he is saying: Kabigat, in yonder sky abiding, Where you are forever daily roving, For your bus'ness stealth'ly moving, And you sun in yonder sky abiding, Where you are forever daily roving For your bus'ness stealth'ly moving; And you moon, you also yonder burning Vlhere you are forever daily roving For your bus'ness stealth'ly moving; San Apon and Sikan Todda turning In the sky forever daily roving For your bus'ness stealth'ly moving; You, Badikong-kong, in darkness blinking )n the sky forever daily roving For your bus'ness stealth'ly moving; Finally, Amdaj-wan, yonder winking In the sky forever daily roving For your ·bus'ness stealth'ly moving, If you caused Intana's weary sickness, TO THE LITTLE APOSTLE 365 R.F.

If you pray it well, our sick will cure. "That's what he has just said," added Pa Polkai. "Yes, just that, and when the chicken shall be killed, then again he will exorcise it and repeat the same prayer, in honor of Kabigat and his companions in the sky." OR E L MISIONERO 366 Catholic Chronicle Rome. Holy Father Granting Plenary Indulgence in Form of General Jubilee. 'Phe Holy Father Pius IX, on the occasion of his Golde'n Jubilee issued a Bulla in which he says: ,:Folio-wing in the footsteps of Our predecessors, in particular Leo XIII, we· have decided to decree for the · whole Catholic world another Holy Year extra ordinem, in the form of a universal Jubilee, which shall be in force to the end of December of the current year.

The Feast of the Purification of the Blessed Virgin Mary, patronal feast of the University of Louvain, was made to coincide here this year with the consecration of its rector, Msgr. Paulin Ladeuze, as Bishop of Tiberias; i. p. i. The consecration ceremonies took place in St. Michael's church, built by the Jesuits from 1650-1666 and turned over to the secular clergy after the society's suppression in 1773. The consecrating prelates were: His Eminence Cardinal Van Roey, Archbishop of Mechlin; the Rt. Rev. V. Rasneur, Bishop of Toumai, and the Rt. Rev. H. Coppieters, Bishop of Ghent. All three were Monsignor Ladeuze's pupils when he was still professor of he~meneutics at the university; and two, Cardinal Van Roey and Bishop Coppieters, later became his colleagues in the _Faculty of Theology and again his subordinates when he was made rector. Among the gifts bestowed upon the newly consecrated Bishop there was one-a pectoral cross - coming from the students and former students of the American College, who vEmerate Msgr. Lad"euze, not only as the rector of the university, but jtlso as the fatherly and holy priest who says Mass every day in their college chapel. China. An ex-diplomat and prime minister of China, Peter Celestine Lu-Tseng-Tsiang, who some time ago entered the Benedictine Abbey of S~. Andrew, Belgium, having finished his novitiate, publicly pronounced last monith his triple vows. This ceremony will be followed by another, still more solemn, at a future time, when the Chinese Religious will take his perpetual vows. Recently, this illustrious man, in a letter written to the review, "The Political Life of Pekin," manifested the sentiments that animated him in his new life, and said: "I am penetrating ever more and more into the life of the Catholic Church; I see each day, more and more, the divine valor of her teaching; I rejoice to be a most devoted son of the Supreme Pontiff, a:H of whose directivesare for me the expression of the ..will of Jesus Christ." And -he adds: "Today, more than ever, it is the time to repeat, speaking SPEND ONE MISSION-HOLYDAY of His Holiness, Pope Pius XI, and thinking of Christ, Whose representative he is, that 'Christ loves the Chinese people." It is very consoling to observe how the life of renunciation embraced· by Lu-Tseng-Tsiang, according to an expression often used by him, gives a "new youth and a new life," which beneficieint impression- increases each day. And not alone to China does Peter Celestirre Lu-Tseng-Tsiang offer the example of a life elevated above the perishable t!hings of this earth that men falsely call grand; but to all men without exception. This vocation should be the means of inspiring inany others of the Orient to embrace the faith and also t!he Religious Life which offers such solid and enduring happiness. Germany. Crown Prince George of Saxony, giving up all hope of ascending the throne of his ancestors, became a Catholic priest and a member of the Jesuit Order at theirfamousCollege in Innsbruck, Father George of Saxony recent~ ly visited his father's former residence in Dresden and held a series of lectures on philosophical topics which were attended by large audiences, including many Protestant clergymen. George of Saxony is not the only member of a former reigning German dynasty who after 369 the overthrow of his house joined the service of the Catholic Church. Prince George of Bavaria, son of Field Marshal Prince Leopold of Bavaria and grandson of Emperor Franz Joseph of Austria, also became a clerical student after the war and is now a prelate .in Rome. Karl Alexander, Duke of Wuer ttemberg, is now Father Odo in the ancient Benedictine Abbey at Bueron. He is a son of Field Marshal Albrecht, Duke ofWuerttemberg, who lives the greater part of the time in his beautiful castle at Friedrichshafen, the little town which won world fame as the cradle of the Zeppelins. Another member of the former Saxon royal family, Prince Max of Saxe, brother of the last King, entered Holy Orders before the war. Prince Max is a professor of philosophy at the Catholic University of Frieburg, Switzerland and a strenuous worker for the reunion of the Oriental churches with the Roman Church. Besides, speaker at meetings for the protection of animals. ~G"' Three Catholic news agencies have combined to fonn a central news service, for the Catholic papers of Germany, at Aix-laChapelle. They will collect not only Catholic news but international new:s of interest to Catholics. The agencies are the KatholisSECURING A NEW SUBSCRIPTION 370 cheKorrespondenz, which collects German news, the Roemische Welt Korrespondenz, which will contribute news of the occident; and the Fides Korrespondenz, which will secure missionary news from the Agenzia Fides of Rome, of which it is a branch. Hungary. The commission for foreign affairs of the upper house of Hungary recently adopted resolutions urging the government to take a definite stand against religious persecutions in Mexico. In an address before the commission, Cardinal Seredi said, in part: "Whatever be the motive for these persecutions, our voices should be raised against such inhumanity for it is hot merely religious persecution but cruel persecution of mankind." "Hungary," he added, "has always, in the past, championed religious liberty. There lies before us today an opportunity to help the oppressed." Ireland. There is a movement on foot in Dublin to erect, during the present year, which is the one hundredth anniversary of Cat11olic Emancipation. a statue of the Sacred Heart, in some prominent public place in the city. The feeling that a country so largely and so constantly Catholic as Ireland should erect such a statue during a year so full of memories as this, is a natural one. l t is said that the money for the statue is already assured. Devotion to tihe Sacred Heart of Our Lord is very .dear to the heart of the Irish, and the erection of a public statue in Dublin would be only a recognition of this devotion. Mexico. A spiritual bouquet of works of charity and of Christian beneficences will be offered to His Holiness, Pope Pius Xl, by the Catholics of Mexico in retum for his many demonstrations of paternal solicitude for the country during her period of persecution, it is announced in a pastoral letter just issued by the Bishops of Mexico. The letter also asks that Sunday, June 30, celebrated as the "Day of the Pope," be set aside for the organization of pilgrimages to the Churches, where some act of devotion, together with the reciting of . the Rosary, will be performed for the intention of the Holy Father. In part, the pastoral Jette~· says: "Mexico, in the midst of her tribulations, has received from His Holiness the most effective p ~·ofessions of his love and of his paternal solicitude and charitY, and for this, we Mexican>, have a deep obligation to manifest our gratitude and our love,our fidelity and our obedience." THE GREATEST NEED: 371 ©~~~~~~~~ink~~~~~~~~~ - ~~ >:1:< ~ ~ CURRENT EVENT§ ~ ~ ~ @~~~~~~~~~~~~.~~~~~ Philippines Senate President Speaks on Economic Problems. Stating that thi" is the time to speak to the American people frankly on the Philippine problem in a language that they can understand because it involYes a problem of economics, Senate President Quezon addressed the faculty of the UniYersity of the Philippines at the banquet gh·en in his honor after receiving the honorary degree of doctor of laws. ·'It is an uffensi ve injustice that the Filipino laborers should be excluded from the United States while the American Flag waves su·preme over Lhis country," he said. "I sympathize with the desire of the American people to protect themselves against a cheaper labor than what they have. I sympathize with them because I feel the same way a bout m.r country. I am against the admission here of cheaper labor. But what I want to tell the American people is that if they want to exclude us. let them do so, b<.1t first; let the Filipinos be given their freedom. "I am glad certain economic issues between the United States and the Philippines h:n-e come to a head. It shows in a manner more forcible than anything the two peoples may do, that the radical differences between the two nations are such that permanent incorporation of the Philippines into American territory is impo~sible. This settles an important question for all time. And with this question settled, if the Americans must insist on their present attitude. there is only one course left open for tlwm to follow, and that is to let us go." "You must ha Ye noticed that for a long time I have not used the word "independence" and l diO. it deliberately and purposely. I believe the American people are sic!< and tired of our asking them "independence, independence, independence" and I myself I am getting tired of that word, although not of its substance. That is something for which I am going to work as long as I 1i Ye. But mere words are nothing. If I can get actual independence by not using such word, I will not use it. I will proceed to . use other arguments in a new language. We will not tell the American people that we want independence. we will tell them that we want the right to negotiate commercial treaties with other countrieF. with foreign countries. ~o that we may be in a position to find markets for our products, and not depend upon only one market. We will tell them that the FjJipino people cannot develop economically until the people of this country and of other countries who want to develop the country know that when they are ill\·esting someC ATECHISTS! 372 thing their inYeStment is guaranteed, because the policies of the government upon which depends the deYelopme.at of the land is in the hands of the people of this countn- and not in the· hands of other peo1 le who are more than ten or t1Yelve tl10ui::and miles away from us.'' The P. I. Mission in United States Senate President Quezon announced that the Philippine mission now in the United States will ask only for fundamental amendments to the Jones La1L ;\Iinor changes will not be proµosed, he said. He emphaUcally denied that the leaders in the government, plan to ask the 1Inited States Congress to amend the Jones Law by making the vice g-0 1 ·ernor a Filipino, who will at the sallle time be the president of the l'llii i µp ine. senate. "We have only one aim if we ever ask for a change in the Jones Law ,'' President Quezo11 said. "It is a well known fact that o·ur desire is immediate and absolute and complete independence. We will stiek to that." He added that the mi~sion has specitic instructions and that among them does not appe~r any plan making the senate president ah o tte Yice governor.

Mr. Frank Duffy, general secretary of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners, c;alls attention to the fact that the Communists in America, under instructions from Russia, have been trying for the past fi~e or six years to capture the American Labor Unionf: for their own ends and purposes, and have sought and gained membership secretly in many unions of the American Federation of Labor. ~fr. Duffy expresses his conviction that if the Communists ever get control or the l; bor unions of this country, we would have a re,·olution in a short time, that being their object and a im when they become strong enough. .The cruiFer bill was paffed by t he Senate February 5 by a vote of 68 to 12. The bill provides $274,000,000 for the construction of 1510,000-ton cru isers and one airplane carrier, all of which must be begun before July l, 1931. Each of the cruisers will cost $17,000,000. The airplane carrier " ill cost $19,000,COO. The bill was passed with one amendTHE LITILE APOSTLE'S HOME: j ment. proposed by Senators v\'illiam Borah of Idaho and James Reed of Missouri. This amendment declares that Congress fa1·ors international treaties setting forth the rights. of belligerents and nevtrals at sea in time of war. The House of Representatives passed the cruiser bill during the first session of the Seventieth Congress. (Feb.8,). It approves the main proYisions of the bill but is opposed t.o setting a time limit tor beginning the construction of the ships. The budget is not prepared to meet such a heavy expense, it believes. Then, too. what if the next arms limitation conference which will meet in Washington in 1931 should place a limit on cruisers just as the first one. held in 1921, did on capital ships of more than 10.000 tons? In that case the 15 new cruisers may not be needed. ·with the newly authorized ships, the Gnited Slates will have 33 modern cruisers with a total tonuage of 296,000 tons. Great Britain has 63 cruisers with a tonnage of 386,636 tons, and Japan has 33 cruisers with a total tonnage of 206,4-15. Cruisers are ust;d to protect a country's coast line and foreign commerce as well as for war time purposes. George E. Roberts, vice president uf the National City Bank of New Yoek, and George Eastman of the Kodak Company, appeared before the Bou!;,e of Foreign Affairs Committee in support of the Porter Foreign Affairs Committee in suppon of the Porter resolution, which reque~ts the President to call an international conference to consider plans for the simplification of the calendar. Mr. Roberts and Mr. Eastman declared at the hearing that American business favored the establishment of an international fixed calendar. Mr. 373 Eastman expressc.>d preferenee for the Cotsworth plan providing for rediYiding the year into thirteen months of twenty-eight days each. This is old stuff, and wearisome. The League of Nations was importuned ai.Jout it, and now, Congress. The League took no definite action and Congress has giYen the matter the cold shoulder it desenes. The fact of the matter is that mily a few persons are respon~il>le for this agitation at internils of about six rnunthseYery year. It is the more absurd because it is not novel. The Jews had thirteen months. Christians have twehe. A century of international confe1·ences could not effect such a change. Prosperity at home and peace with other countries have marked the Coolidge administration. It has been an eea, too, of great prog-ress in a viation.

Perhaps the negotiating of the Briand-E:ellogg Treaty Will rank in history as the greatest single act of the Coolidge administration. Others of outstanding importance may be grouped under two heads as follows: 1. International: Participation of the United States in the Pan-A merican treaties on Arbitration and Conciliation (Jan. 18Items1-4): conclusion of a tariff treaty with China (see this issue, Item 12); supervision of the recent election in Nicaragua (Nov. 23, Item 'i): improvement of relations with Mexico; calling of the first international Aviation Congress (Dec. 28.

The Immigration Law now in force fixes each foreign country's quota at two per cent of the number of its people who were living in the United States when Lhe census or lS!JO was taken. Congress amended this law in 192-1. The amended law contains the "National Origins Clause" which proYides that a total of 150.000 aliens may be admitted to the -United States each year. Of this number each fo1·eign country's share 1Youlcl be proportionate to the number of people living in the United States in 1920 who could trace their origin to that country. Hence the term ''National Origins .. , The enforcement of the Xational Origins clause has been postponed again· and again because of the protests of those countries, notably, Germany, the Irish Free State, and the Scandinavian countries which would ham their quotas greatly reduced if it \1-el'e put in operation. It would increase the quotas of England, North Ireland, Scotland, V\7 ales, Italy and Russia . • At present the Senate is - again debating whether to repeal the National Origins clause or postpone its operation. President HooYer is said to favor its repeal. If Congre~s doPs not repeal it or postpone its enforcement, it will go into effect Jul~- 1.

Fascism a Religion '·Fascism as religion., this might well become the Litle of a chapter of the Fascism history. It is widely known to-day how the religious pride of the Fascists has brought them to the most ridiculous acts. But we are Jess aware in general of the fact that Fascism during the latest period has t.ransmitted upon her own instit!lltions and persons and applied to them, the ancient expressions of the Catholic Church, ernn Her Liturgy and Her customs. The "Osservatore Romano" in a detailed a rticle points out in its minute particularities these abuses which become 375 more intruding day by day. It is a very ordinary thing at present to speak of the ·'immortal, adorable fatherland" the ·'godlikeltaly." Those who die for their country are called ··martyn:,•· of the good cause. altars are erected in their honor. Yotive lamps lighted and solemn ··rites'"eelehrated.

To 1heir flag is to be paid the same homa~·e as to tlie Ble~sfd Sacrament. ··De Propaganda Fide'· is the title of one of the 1irst an.icles that appeared in a periodical, which aims to spread Italian culture in foreign ceuntries. And when finally we find in a reYicw. how the Fascists compare the life of one of their recently dee eased to the life of Jes us-Christ here on earth, and how they continually apply to their man the words of Holy Scrtpture, must we not say then that they ham reached tile culminaLing point of servile imitation of the religious rites of the Catholic Church? France: Marshal Ferdinand Foch, France's idol and known to tens of thousands as "Papa Foch", died· at Paris, on March 20 after a period of illness. Heart trouble complicated with urema and lung· trouble were the causes of the :vrarshal's death, which has been forecast for some weeks by his physicians. A priest was ca lied to the house shortly before Foch died. The Marshal came from a Jesuit school and his brother was a Jesuit, a fact brought forwaTd when Foch was asked in l!lOi RE M EMBER THEM IN YOUR DAILY OFFER ING 376 to take charge of the War College. Clemenceau, who had extended the inYitation, told Foch on that occasion: in the Cathedral of Xotre Dame was attended by two Cardinals, eleYen Bishops and a papal nuncio, but mass was said by a humble priest who was a: personal friend of Foch. "Forget that. I know you can make good officers and that is enough for me." On March 26. :\[arshal Foch was laid to rest unde1· the dome of the Hotel des Innlides with Napoleon and the other great men of France. For genuine emotion, nothing in the history of !<'ranee could approach . the ceremony today. The ceremony Fi Ye thousand persons were gathered within the cathedral and 50,000 in the cathedral square.

Anonymous letters must find their way into the waste paper basket. We will not publish the names of those who send questions. It is superstitioz/JS to use Blessed Palm during a storm? Certainly not, if one doesn't attach magical powers to such an act. When we use blessed palm, holy water or a lighted blessed candle during · a storm or at any other time we are simp:ly throwing about ourselves and our homes the powerful prayer of Ohrist's Spouse, the Church. She prayed over these objects and blessed them. When we use them with faith her prayer enfolds us. Confidence in the Ornrch's prayers moves the faithful to hang bless~d palm in their homes, to use Holy Water, etc. What is a Papal Bull? A papal bull is an important official docwnent, sent out from the Holy See, dealing with doctrinal decisions or disciplinary rulings, the creation of dioceses, the appointment of bishop's and the like. The earliest one now extant was sent by Pope Paschal I in 819· to the Church of Ravenna. To guarantee the authenticity of these documents a leaden seai l (bulla) was attached, and after the thirteenth century the name BULLA was given to the document itself. Less important documents are called "briefs." Can a man be really possessed by a devil? It is the doctrine of the Catholic Church that the evil spirit most perniciously influe,nced man in a two-fold manner: by enticing his soul to sin a,nd then by influencing his body whioh he entirely or partially possesses, manifesting himself by madness, convulsion, insanity, etc. Many texts of the H o 1 y Scripture .and of the Fathers speak of this possession. Possession takes place by the permission of God either for trial, or as punishment for sins committed, and the Catholic C1mrch from her Head, Jesus who expelled so many devils, has received the power of casting them out, as Jesus did; The Catholic Chµrch however warns her ministers, the priests, who by their ordination have received the power to expelthle evil spirits, to distinguish carefully DO IT F OR CH R IST'S SAKE 378 between possession and natural sickness, so that they may not deceive; and the faithful should guard themselves against looking · upon every unusual unhealthy appearance as an influence of the devil, and should give no ear to impostors who see everywhere possession of the devil. _ The faithful in order not to be de:·ei:ved should go to an experienced physician or to theiT parish priest. TtVhat is the difference between the Pontifical Mass, 11-fissa Cantata, Solemn High Mass and Low f.fass? The Pontifical Mass is a Solemn Mass, celebrated by a Bishop, attended by an assistant priest, a deacon and a sub-deacon. The Missa Cantata is a Mass that is sung by a priest, with the assistance of a choir. It was introduced to provide for the titular churches of Rome and to accommodate the needs of country parishes in which only one priest was available. Solemn High Mass is a Mass sung by a priest attended by two sacred ministers called the deacon and the sub-deacon, and assisted by a choir and a number of servers called acolytes. Low Mass is a Mass, no part of which is sung, but aLl of which is recited by the priest, who is the sole sacred minister engaged in carrying out the function. ---«»--To doin "THE CRUSADERS of THE LITTLE FLOWER': a charitable missionary organization, which cooperates with the Belgian Catholic Missionaries in the Mountain Province, apply to the Reverend Director or to a Promoter in a Local Centre.

In the town of :vrambajao, :Vfisamis, MiEs Carmen Neri introduced the Crusade long before this, and she bad a choir of pious and zealous crusaders. But now comes Miss Faustina Ohan who undoubtedly, aniiflated by our call, brought the organization to the climax of its vitality. She recn1ited a large number of members in the Camiguin Institute, a11d appointed seYeral of the students as promoters, to help her in the noble task. We are sorry that we can not publish a photograph of all the members of the Crusade in the Camiguin Institute, Miss Chan was kind enough t0 send us a picture of some of them, gathered around their zealous priest. Father McGowan. Unfortunately in the process of engraving the indka380 tions given on the picture disappeared, and so it has become impossible for us to say who is who. Miss Chan also gave some information about the activities of the society. From now ·on until November they will have a novena in honor of St. Teresita. Every tirst Sunday all receive Holy Communion, and Father )fcGowan was kind enough fo reserve for them in the Church special seats marked "T.;resitas". All hail to the Crusaders of Mambajao! Who will be the next? Our dear patron Saint continues to fav~r the members of our association wrth special blessings. As a proof of this we j1,1st received a letter from Miss Teofila Avila, (Tuguegarao) telling us how afte1· having being sick for two weeks, she was unexpectedly cured through the intErcession of the Littie Flower. Last month we asked some Easter eggs for our dear Igorrotes, and from Cebu t here came a full nest. In Pia. ridel Street lives a family very devoted to the missions. and e,·ery member sent its contribution in the form of a fee for two baptisms. It was really encouraging and touching to read the letters of all the young ones; Jose, Carmen, Jesus, Maria, Vicente, Angustias certainly will see their generosity IJlel'&ed IJy our Lord, a,nd we heartily conJ£ratula te the parents of these children for having inculcated into their soul these true Christian sentiments, that blossom into snch praiseworthy deeds. Before ending our letter let, us make an appeal to all promoters and Crusaders, all children of our belo,·ed Mother Mary to whom the Holy Church dedicated this month of .May: that all of them cooperate in gathering around their Queen all children of men, especially those who to the present have not had the privilege of knowing such a tender and loving Mother Pray for the conversion of all the people in the Mountain Province, so that soon the whole Philippine Islands may be sheltered under the folds of her protecting mantle. Your faithful LITTLE AP08TLE MASS STIPENDS A GREA T H ELP 381 For the Little Tots Liilfe <Dll Li\tltlle Emmm~ rll<e Foooo if<:o'll' lLitO.e ChiJl.dren "The Little Victim of Jesus" (1879-1889) CHAPTER I. EMMA was born April 24, 1879. Her parents were rich and lived in the castle of V.... near S ... : in Provence, France. No extraordinary events markedher coming into this world. The day after her birth she was baptized, not because her parents _feared the little creature might die, but because, like all good Christians, they wished to observe the law of the Church that says little babies should be baptized as soon .as possible after birth, and because they liked to have their little child reborn in "the waters and the Holy Ghost" to make it a temple of God's Holy Spirit and be agreeable to Jesus. Her I'osy cheeks caused the adHER BIRTH. miration of all those who visited the little baby. Already from the very first weeks, her twinkling, penetrating eyes denoted her future clever intelligence. At the age of two, she visibly surpassed all other children of her age, not only by evident marks of precocious intelligence, but even by repeated signs of an early but great devotion. Msgr. Forcade, the ordinary of the place, who visited the castle of V .... several times a year, testified that he was much astonished to see the progress made by the. little tot. Of course, her mother was a very pious -woman, and, understanding her duty of -a Christian mdther, she took it to heart to teach her C LOT H I NG ARTICLES ARE WELCOME 382 little child all that it could learn a punishment in purgatory and of God and Jesus Christ and the can have it forgiven by imposing catholic doctrine.

This latter was the the End of the meals, without having taken any sweets or cake. -"Why do you leave your chair and go away?" someone at table asked. -"Emma has not been good today: she must punish herself", answered the little tot. One may say, such a punishment, after all, was not very severe and any child could chastise itself in the same way. Truly, any child could do the same, but how many children ?Ire doing so, for instance, after they have offended God? The punishment indeed was not cruel, and yet, just try the same at table. It requires some strong willpower to deny ourselves some delicacy, and such strength, that makes the Saints, is the work, first of God, and second of ourselves through serious considerations. If ·weonlythought that we had offended God and made Jesus suffer, that we deserve case with Rev. Father Romain, a ~Premonstr~te. He. had baptized little Emma. Having become chaplain at the castle of her parents, he remained for five years near them. The qualities of the little tot charmed him so much that he gave himself entirely to God: "What that little tot can do, 1 can do", he said, as he later confessed. At the age of four, Emma began to express her desire of re- - ceiving Holy Communion. Of course she was denied this great favor on account of her young age. The little girl felt it much - and what did she do? At least she would act nis if she received the divine Savior into her little heart. Sometimes she knelt at the altar rails, spread her apron under her chin, and then, asked the priest to act as if he were really giving her the Blessed Sacrament. How this simple desire must have pleased Jesus! How SUPPORT A CATECHIST many graces she must have received on account of this childish desire to be with Jesus, who Him• self liked so much to be with little children while still on earth. Emma thus received Holy Communion by desire, which is a great act of love and procures many heavenly favors. And yet how easy it is! While alone, how easy it is to say, "My dear Jesus, I wish to receive your Holy Body and Blood." But then too our conduct must correspond with that holy·desire: for one who wishes to live united to Jesus by that desire, first of all, should really desire to please Jes us by his whole conduct. Little Emma, though so pious and developed before her age, had a certain defect. She kne~ that she was pleased with herself when praised. It is a defect most common among children and even grown-ups. Having heard how every thing in us belongs to God andhowwecandonothing without His help, she understood that it was an injustice to ascribe to herself what really comes from Goc1. In fa.ct, to be delighted about some thing which is not ours M if it were our own, is it not to deceive ourselves? Is it not to act like a king of a comedy who walks proudly through the streets, dressed in his royal art:tire, proud and pleased, as if he were a real prince? What a foof such a man would be; and yet, we are such fools when 383 we think well of ours~lves because we have done some good or possess something attractive: that good belongs to God; we must ascribe it to Him and not to ourselves. This is what little Emma little by little did and this way, she eradicated that beginning passion of vanity and pride. Later, she will despise herself for having been vain and proud. As a consequence of this defect, her character was rather domineering; she exercised a veritable power and empire upon her brothers and sisters. Though she was anxious to help the "smaller", she knew to make others obey her wishes and bow to her little whims. If she had not corrected herself of this defect, she might have run astray. The example of Jesus. a Godman, who became the servant of us all and has been despised, as no man on earth has been, when He suffered and <lied, and even during His public life, helped Emma much to become humble. She said: "If an infinite God becomes th~ last of all, I, a nothing and a sinner, should never impose myself upon others." Notwithstanding this natural inclination, Emma was most tender towards her devoted parents. It of ten happened at night thait her mother found her sobbing in her cosy bed. - "Why are you sorry, dear? Are you suffering?" SAC R IFICE BRI NGS REWARD 384 -"I am praying God for you," little Emma answered. "You are so often sick and I am afraid you may die. If you die, then, I too will die; for I can not live without you." How little Emma loved her parents and especially her mother! Parents, who really love their children and show it by bringing them up in the fear and love of God, naturally attract their children's greatest love and that love never dies. Oh, if parents understood this, how many, who preti nd to love their chilJren by following their whims, would change their manner of educating them, for, by neglecting the true education of their children, they may be the cause of their eternal loss, and then, when such parents present thEmselves before their Judge, what will they answer when Jesus tells them that they are responsible before Him for their children? You easily bend a little twig, But not at all the grown up trees; So, man takes form, not when he's big, But when he plays on mother's knees, A little child, yet tender, sweet, ls sanctified by mother's lund: Her virtue, pressed into her seed, Directs and sanctifies the plant.
