TRADE MARK FLASHLIGHTS & BATTERIES -they last longer VOL. VI, No. l JUNE, !929 Peace between the Vatican and Italy Conti 11uatio11 II. The Concordat The second part of the agreement comprises the Concordat, which is restricted to two parties. It is the Concordat that was the object of some misrepresentation in the press. As an example of such misrepresentation we quote "The St. Louis Democrat" (U.S.): "The important principle that the Pope must be a sovereign in his own house, not subordinated by any one else, is fuliy recognized .... Under a concordat or treaty, the canon law of the Church becomes the law of all Italy. What this may mean for Italy will be a matter of absorbing interest in every capital of the. world." These fears arewithoutfounda. tion. The Italian government retains its legislative independence. and the ecclesiastical legislation is not at all concerned with taking the place of civil la1Ys, as the great body of canon law has no bearing upon civil affairs and is not applicable to them. What will hf\Ppen is this: Laws of Italy which in any way conflict with canon law will be changed to conform to it, which is only very reasonable. There are some matters in which botth, the Church and the State, have a direct interest. ow in a country almost entirely Ca tholic, if both Church and State pro ceded independently and ignored each other, the result would be inevitable conflicts with grave detriment to the conscience of the Catholics. Therefore these two authorities convene sometimes in controverted matters and PLEASE RENEW P RO M P TLY 2 establish a ,procedure satisfactory to both parties. The establishment of such a procedure is called a CONCORDAT. The Church has always entered upon such concordats with foreign nations. Therefore the concordat with Italy is nothing new. Matrimonial Legislation Up to the present, the Catholics . of Italy had to undergo a civil ceremony besides the r'eligious celebration, before the mayor of the place. This civil ceremony was considered as necessary in order that the contracting parties might enjoy the civil effects of marriage, above all the civil legitima<:y of the offspring. Now things are different. The State grants civil effect to marriages celebrated b'efore the priest, obliging the latter to make known the marriages at which he assists, for the purpose of registration. 13y canceling the civil ceremony the State make more evident to Catholics the importance of a religious marriage. This holds naturally to those marriages that are contracted by Catholics before their priest. For others, who belong to other so-called religions the matdmonial legislation of Italy remains unchanged. Logically the State refers the case of nullity of marriage to that authority which is competent to judge of the value of the Sacrament of Matrimony: the Catholic Church. Election of Bishops Another subject treated in the Concordat is the election of the Bishops. The Church always insisted on the exclusive right to choose her own Bishops, being alone competent with regard to the qualifications for the episcopal office. But the Italian State pretended to enjoy a right of supervision over the action of the Pope with so-called "Regium Placet," and by the so-called "Exequatur" viz., the consent of the King and of the Government to the nominees of the Holy See. This power, historically unsustainable, was advanced by the State under the pretext that if the State had to pay the salary of bishops and pastors, it had the right to control in 3 certain degree the nomination of the same. This argument loses much force if one considers that the money turned over by the State for the maintenance of the clergy represented only a part of the interest on the ecclesiastical property unjustly confiscated, and of which the State made itself the administrator. According to the new Concordat the principle that Bishops are to be named freely by the Roman Pontiff is acoepted. SUPPORT A CATECHIST Education The Catholic doctrine on the nature of instruction is well kn ow n. Religious instruction must keep step with scientific instruction and constitute the moml foundation of the same. In a Catholic country like Italy, a school without reli:gion represents a real danger to society. Nevertheless the school laws were of a character clearly anti-religious. Religious instruction was excluded from the secondary school. It was tolerated in the primary school, although there it was reduced to a form of inferiority that destroyed its importance, and consequently its efficacy on the minds of the young. Only the public schools are recogniz,ed and qualified to confer academic degrees. The private schools were only tolerated and none of their degrees were recognized. The children who frequented them were obliged to undergo examinations before professors of the public schools who were badly disposed towards the candidates, and who-frequently made use of this occasion to discourage the pupils from attending the Catholic schools by making their promo· tion very difficult. From now on the Catholic religion will be taught in elementary and secondary schools. In order that religious training be effective 3 it must be imparted at every branch of learning by competent teachers, selected by the bishops and maintained by the State. Right to own Property The right to own property is granted to religious communities and to other ecclesiastical moral persons. In the precedent Italian laws they were not recognized, and not having juridical personality they were not able to possess goods in their own names, but were obliged to invest the title to their property generally in three individuals, who alone before the State were considered the rightfull possessors. The dangers of this system were evident. If one of the three abandoned his religious community, he could, in force of the civil laws, make claim to a third of the property as his own. Moreover, these three had to provide by testament that, in case of death, the property held in their name would pass to other members of the community, who might appear before the State as heirs. The passage of the property by heredity among unrelated persons in Italy, and in many other countries, is burdened with heavy taxes. One can imagine what reductions took place in the already small patrimony of the communities, with so frequent transfers of property, MISSIONS N EED SCHOOLS 4 From what has been stated it is evident that there is no question of the substitution of Canon Law for Civil Law, but it is a question of colaborration between the The peace between the Vatican and Italy is certainly one of the most important acts in the history of the Papacy and of Italy. The dean of the Sacred College, CarChurch and the State f()r the welfare of Catholic subjects of Italy, in matters of common interest and utility to the two Societies: The Eq:lesiastical and the Civil. dinal Vanutelli declared: "I consider it the greatest gift that has been obtained for Rome and Italy by the Queen of Peace."

June 19 The Patron Saint of girls named Juliana is any one of the three Saint~ named Juliana. .Of these_ three perhaps on~ . of the best known is Juliana Falconieri. The earliest St. Juliana was one of the Roman Christian Martyrs and her history is somewhat uncertain. The other Saint bearing the same name was a nun of Liege. She died before Juliana Falcoi1ieri was born. Tbe Falconieri family was one of tlie oldest and most illustrious families in Florence. Every member of it was a nobleman and had distinguished himself in someway. Alexis Falconieri, Juliana's uncle, was one of the seven founders of thf:' Servite Order. When Juliana was born in 1270, Alexis determined to influence her in holy ways, so, from her earliest years, the littie girl heard about God and His Blessed Mothe1· and the Sainus, and she grew to 11ave a great love for religion. When he1• father died, Juliana determined to enter an Order, so she received the H ab i t o f the Third Order of Scrvites from the hrmds of St. Philip Benitus, who was the General of the Order at that time. No one before her had ever been a Tertiary of the Servites, so in this way, Juliann. became the foundress of this branch of the Congregation. Her mother was still alive,: so Juliana did not feel free to go to a convent to live. She remained ·at . home therefore, but practiced severe ·penances and mortifications. Her mother's death · in 1305 left her at libedy to ente/ a convent, so she and several companions moved into a large house which became famous as 'the first convent for the Servite Tertiaries. The members of the new Order devoted themselves to the care of the sick and other charitable works. As labor occupied much of their time, their habits were made with short sleeves for the sake of convenience. Because of thi:; the nuns became known as "Mantellates". Juliana remained the Superior of this convent for the rest of her life. For 35 years she directed t_he community and at the end of that time God took her to her reward. Her death occured on June 12, 1341, and almost immediately afterward she was honored as a Saint. HL Holiness, Pope Benedict XIII, granted the Servites permission to celebrate the feast of this illustrious member of their Order. She was canonized in 1737 by Pope Clement XII. Her feast is celebrated throughout the entire church on J.une 19. JOIN T H E C R U SA DERS O F L . F. 6 ·~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ft ft ft So Speak the Wise....

F. M. Ghysebrechts, (Bontoc, Mt.) I N THE beginning of February I received a telephone message from Reverend Father Provincial telling me to meet him in Kiangan about the 6th of February. Father Provincial on his yearly mission tour, accompanied by Father Leon Quintelier had already visited, during the month of January, the different missions of Cervantes, Angaki, Kayan and Bauco, the central mission of Lubuagan and its many outside stations; he had gone as far as ApaM ISSIONS N EED C HAP ELS 8 yac. to visit the R. R. F. F. M. Van Overbergh and j, Poot, the pio,. neers of this vast missionfield. Passing through Tuguegarao, Cagayan, he had called upon Rt. Rev. Bishop Jurgens, went farther down to Isabela and Nueva Viztelier, Francisco Lambrecht, y_our senant, and one catechist.

The day I arrived . in Kiangan Father Prm·incial was again out tc1 Burnay and some other mi ;si.m stations entrusted to the care of the valiant Father F. De Sni.:k.

Along this trail over Hungduan to Banawe there is still only one mission station at Bolog, some 6 kilometers from Kiangan, the first of a long series of chapels built by R. Bro. Edward, (pour un coup cl' essay ce fut un coup de maitre). The nearer we came to the top of the mountains the more we enjoyed the beautiful scenery. As well as in Banawe the innumeraS PREAD YOUR FAITH 9 Hu11gdua11. ble rice-terraces from the foot to the top of the mountains give a special cachet to these places. About ten kilometers over Bolog we arrived at the important barrio of Maggok, where ·we went to · find a place for the building of a chapel, which, we hope, may be realized if we find a benefactor for it. About noon, we arrived at the bank of the Hungduan river, half way to Kiangan and Hungduan. Time for lunch and siesta was the decision of the old timers: F. F. Provincial and Quintelier; we did notmuch object; further more, F. Quintelier's horse got loose, ran back on the way to Kiangan forcing us to wait patiently till our catechist would be able to catch it again. About one hour later, the horse was caught and all the horses were pulled one by om: through the swift current to the opposite shore while we made use of the ferry to cross the river. About 5 P.M. we arrived in Hungduan. We went to see the site, already purchased, where the chapel is to be erected, took our supper and retired. The following day early in the morning we were a.gain on the saddle on our way to Banawe via Sapao. Sapao is known over the whole Mountain Province for the curios made in this place; a lot of those curios are sold in the different shops of B31guio. Sapao is about half way on the trail from Hungdua·n to Banawe; there is a public school situated on the very spot where in the Spanish time the Father had his residence. But Father Lambrecht SUBSCRIBE FOR A FRIEND 10 purchased another piece of land, where he intends to build the cha'pel, as in Maggok and Hungduan. Sunday 10 February-Banruwe. In this mission station, started a few years ago by R. F. De Snick, there are already a, fair number of converts. Most of them were confirmed after High Mass. I intended to take a picture of the Congregation but unfavorable weather conditions prevented me from doing so. Mist and rain seem to have chosen this spot for their home. In Banawe most of the people are Ii ving near their ricefields, the houses are scattered all over the mountain tops and slopes, there is not even one important agglomeration of houses. If you take into consideration that the Father can visit this place only once a month, you readily understand how difficult it is for him to do very efficacious missionary work. It takes almost half a day to call on one or two families, the houses are so scattered, so far distant from each other, of such a difficult access that would take at least two months to pay a single visit to each family. It goes without saying that if - ever a catechist was needed, Banawe is the very spot. (To be continued) ---.qp..~-Mistakes at Different Values When the plumber makes a mistake he cha'l"ges for it.

Father Mauricio Vanoverbergh ft1issionary of Kabugaw, Apayaw. Continuation CHAPTER I. - A Short Diary This afternoon Basis's two daughters, Biney and Petara, started repairing their hut; very soon the father came to the rescue and they had a new house in less than. no time; it took them barely half an hour to pull down the old house and to fix the roof and the floor of the new one on posts. After. a while Adapan came along with the flesh of a wild boar just killed. The distribution started at once and besides our share taken care of by the concessionaire, I got a fine piece of liver roasted over the fire, a real dainty under the circumstances. One of the youngsters was trying to whittle a stick with a big cutlass. When the mother noticed it she took the cutlass and stick, and tried to arrange the latter as the boy desired. But after a while she got tired and threw the stick away. The boy started crying, but stopped the performance as soon as the mother had given him a loud scolding. Once, while Petara was scraping rattan, Kannaway came along arid feigned to take away some of the strips she had ·finished working upon. At once she darted to Kannaway's own heap of scraped rattan. in order to replace those she would lose, with the result that Kannaway immediately left Petara's where they were; and so both of them went back to their respective places laughing, the whole company joining in the mirth. Rain started again toward evening and whenever a big shower A LIFE SUBSCRIPTION: Pl 5.00 12 came down, the Negritos started shouting in the same way as when it thundered. A big cloud having P.assed thru the camp, they began to express their fear about a coming typhoon; we shall see presently that they were right in their prognostication. AUGU:S'f 19 (Friday) This date should be marked with a color as sinister as possible. I was a sound asleep, when; at 1 a. m., I suddenly awoke feeling a tremendous pressure on my chest and all over my body. I hear a terrific gale blowing, and a stream of rain came pouring down thru the roof of my hut, inundating everything. Before I was well aware of the predicament I was in, the concessionaire was loudly asking expfanations. A tree had fallen down lengthwise over my body and it covered me completely from head to foot. As I could not lift it up notwithstanding my exertions, I finally managed to push my body sideways with the result that my efforts let the iloor down under my head. Now the concessionaire came to the rescue and I was able to extricate myself and to find that no bones were broken. My few belongings were immediately transferred to the concessionaire's own hutand there I, myself, took my abode for the time being, wondering how I had escaped without any injuries and thanking Divine Providence for . this visible protection. It goes without saying that I neither slept nor lay down anymore that night; I was really much afraid. The gale was blowing all the time from the direction behind' our two huts, branches of trees were snapping at every gust, and now and again we heard trees falling in the distance. You can imagine how we all felt, surrounded as we were by gigantic trees and with the darkness most intense. Our concessionaire was exceedingly nervous, he did not venture into his hut at all and went from place to place among the Negritos trying to find a place where he might call himself safe, but failing. Daylight was hailed with delight, as the suspense had been terrible for more than five hours. In the morning we examined the hut and had found an explanation to the occurrence. Basi's daughters had attached one corner of the roof of their hut to a tree that wa~ standing between my hut and theirs arid to do this they had made several notches in it in order to attach the rattan more firmly. The tree had snapped at the notched place about one yard above the ground, and in crashing thru the roof of my hut it had broken the branch that served as a tiebeam, in this way less.ening considerably the force of the fall. This latter circumstance together with the fact that the tree had neither been broken at its base TO T H E L ITTLE APOSTL E nor been uprooted gave us an explanation of my almost miraculous escape. The head of the tree was situated at a distance of several yards behind my hut, and only · the smooth trunk had crossed the roof. The three of us, Kannaway, the concessionaire and myself were able to remove it, and amid rain and wind the Negritos repaired my hut. While the excitement was going on in the night, we had not noticed that the falling tree torn down the hut of the two girls. They had managed, however to repair it as best as they could, and when we examined it in the morning we saw that the damage was comparatively slight. Fortunately at about 7 a.m. the gale subsided, and once more we were able to breathe in peace, very much relieved and eager to get our first meal. The cessation of the wind was only a calm before the storm, or rather an interlude. At about 9 a. m. the typoon started blowing for good, and did not abide until 3 p. m. The whole day we were on the look out for snapping branches and falling trees. At every bang of a tree falling in the distance, the Negritos emitted one of their customary shrill cries. And all of them were afraid. Who could blame them? I myself was much more at ease though, as it was daylight now and I had taken a favorable position in Kanna13 wey's hut; here I could see distinctly the movements of the trees in front this being the direction from which the wind was blowing. The concessionaire, however, was scared to death and he braved rain and wind to watch the direction of the bending trees. Even leeches were invading our camp, which did not add to our comfort. By this time all small children, who up till now had been clothed merely with a ray of sunshine, had a kind of a shirt on to take the place of the heat of the sun, which of course was absent. A few N egritos also covered themselves with blankets. A tremendous gust of wind having blown down the hut. of Lino all the inmates fled with their belongings, some into the huts of Alinag others into that of Guannawey. After a while all of them were gathered under the latter's roof, but did not remain there very long as the damage was promply repaired. Alinag whose little son had gone visiting some friends in the neighborhood, could not stand the suspense any longer. He took bow and arrows, left his hut and started in the direction his boy had taken yesterday. This was certainly a token of f~therly concern for the child; nobody would venture out under the circumstances without the gravest reasons. After two or three hours, he came back with his son and with Abangon and Aguttin, two OR EL MISIONERO 14 of Basi's sons who had gone away with the boy. Yadan another son of Basi,-accompanied t h e m. After a few moments Alinag busied himself with repairing the roof of Kannawey's hut, this was very timely as the hut would soon have failed to give me sufficient protection from the rain. At this juncture, Petara and Biney had a little friendly bickering. The former wanted to take her elder sister's dress, and the latter defended her property by all possible means. However there was nothing serious about the whole affair; it was merely a sisterly play. Once ·while the concessionaire was entering his hut for a moment, he begged the Negritos to warn him, if a tree should happen to fall his way. This was a fine occasion for a little diversion, so in order to tease him, they repeatedly startled him by shouting: "A tree, a tree," at which exclamation the Hoko invariably jumped out of his hut, to the great glee of the Pygmies. In the meanwhile Yadan insisted 011 getting one of his sister Biney's dress in order to give it to his wife; after a long and friendly aitercation, and after much playing and fooling around, he finally got what he wanted. By this time Auttin was running around without his G string, probably in order to get it dried and not to be obliged to wear wet clothes, which might give him fever. After a while all the Negritos, except Basi-were talking about leaving this place and looking for a safer one elsewhere. The concessionaire was of the same opinion, but I objected and with reason: there was no certainty of finding a better place; in the meanwhile we should get wet with whatever we took with us and not be able to dry clothes, which would be as dangerous as staying where we were, and here we always could run away in time if a tree fell our way. It is true that the concessionaire advised me to leave my belongings here as nobody would touch them, but I considered this worse than anything else, as in such case there would not be the slightest possibility of changing clothes. Kannawey, however, and Siano finally lefc with their families and the few belongings they possessed, bows and arrows, a jar or two, a few clothes and some rice. Alinag also intended to go, but he waited for Basi to give the signal. Fortunately, the latter did not want to leave the place, and we stayed to the great dismay of the concessionaire. In the meanwhile the children roamed around looking for a kind of shells, from which the Negritos prepare ,the lime used in chewing betel.

'"• ''·'• :II 17 Catholic Chronicle Rome. Vatican City Name of New Papal State. T he use of the new geographical designation "Vatican City" now is considered the most accurate way- of indicating the pla_.ce of origin of news stories concerning the activities surrounding the papal household. As specified m the ItaloVatican accord, the Vatican, with nearby buildings, now forms an independent state by itself under the name of "Vatican City." It is considered just as logical to use that appelation as it is to post a letter or date a telegram from San Marino, Monaco or Andorra, none of which diminutive states properly can SECURING A NEW SUBSCRIPTION . 18 be considered part and parcel of the larger countries surrounding them. The papal authorities are understood to favor· this practice since it demonstrates throughout the world the complete independence of the newly carved out papal state from any temporal sovereignty and emphasizes the freedom which the pontif£ now enjoys under the agreement of February 11. Althou,gh not confirmed by the Vatican, it is reported in the press that Pope Pius XI may reconvene the 20th Ecumenical Council in 1930. Ecumenical means worldwide and an ecumenical council is one which brings together, at the summons of the Pope, the cardinals, archbishops, bishops, patriarchs, abbots, and generals of religious orders of the entire Church in solemn convention. The 20th Ecumenical Council, sometimes called the Vatican Council, was first "convened De. cember 8, 1869, by Pope Pius IX, and wss attended by 769 Bishops. Among the most important of its act·s were the confirmation of the dogma of the Immaculate Conception which had been defined and proclaimed by Pope Pius IX, in 1854, and the promulgation of the dogma of the Infallibility of the Pope in matters of faith and morals. The outbreak of the Franco-Prussian War caused Pope Pius IX to suspend the 20th Ecumenical Council. If the present Pontiff reconvenes the 20th Ecumenical Council the number of bishops, secretaries, aind theologians present will be large for the Church has grown very much in the past 60 years. Sessions may be hel<l. in St. Peter's Basilica and may continue for several months. Vatican City At a reception, given by the Noble Guards in honor of the anniversary of the pope's coronation, an audience composed almost exclusively of dignitaries of the Papal Court, including Cardinals Vannutelli and Gasparri, and ladies and gentlemen of highest Roman nobility, a motion picture film was shown of the scenes that occurred during the signing of the treaties between the Vatican and thE, Quirinal. Pictures also were shown of the Pope, imparting the papal blessing to a vast throng from the Vatican Basilicai; and of King Victor Emmanuel, receiving the applause of Roman citizens. This was the first time at the Vatican that a picture of the king had been shown, following that of the pope, and a picture of Premier Mussolini after that of Cardinal Gasparri. The film was widely applauded; and the appearance in it of Premier Mussolini was the signal for loud cheers. It THE GREATEST NEED: was the first time a motion picture had been shown publicly within the Vatican. Baron Sardi, president of the institution which produced the film, gave Cardinal Gasparri a copy of it, and asked that he be granted an audience with the pope to present one also to him. Msgr. Pizzardo and Advocate Pacelli, who took part in the negotiation of the treaties, were present and were heartily congratulated. The Holy Father did not attend the exhibition of the motion picture. f<rance. A despatch from Gardaia, on the boundary of Algeria and the Sahara. announces that a caravan has departed for Haggar, in the center of the African desert, to recover the body of Father de Foucauld, whose canonization is in process. The party is carrying a casket of metal and oak. The remains of the holy hermit of the Sahara, killed in 1916, were found intact two yefrrs ago when his grave was opened·in the presence of Father Joyeux of the \rVhite Fathers, wno was designated by the Sovereign Pontiff to conduct the process of beatification. Abundant testimony proves that the natives had great veneration for this religious who profoundly edified them by his penitence and charity. 19 Charles Eugene de Foucauld was born at Strassburg in 1858. The early part of his life was giv::. en over to worldly dissipation~1 Lieutenant of cavalry in Algeria, he took part in the difficult expedition against a leader of brigands, Bou Amama. Returning to his garrison, he contemplated the vanity of a frivolousexistence. Securing leave of absence, he studied the Arab language and succeeded in passing himself as a bc,ggar and thus explored what was said to be inaccessible country in central Africa. At the price of personal humiliation, suffering and perils, he penetrated 2,250 kilometers into the territory completely unknown to Europeans. Returning to France he was decorated by the Geographic Society and invited to the most learned salons of the city. He evaded all these earthly invitations to enter the Trappists. But he wished to do something more than this. Obtaining authorization from his religious superiors, he left for Africa and settled in the desert near Ho.gga,r, praying, fasting and mortifying himself but distributing incessantly, for the good of the natives and the nomads, the benefits of inestimable charity. This admirable life .ended in martyrdom, December 1, 1916, when he was killed by a horde of nomads crossing Hoggar. C ATECHISTS! 20 Japan. The Japanese tenor,RiozoOkuda, of the Academy of Music in Rome, has been received into the Catholic Church. The details of this conversion are interesting. In November, 1927, Riozo Okuda became acquainted with Bishop Hayasaka, the native Japanese bishop who had just received episcopal consecration from the hands of Pope Pius XI. At one of the several entertainments held in honor of the new Bishop, the famous Japanese tenor sang Gounod's "Ave Maria" with the skill and perfection of a master. On this occasion, Cardinal Van Rossum, C. SS. R., who happened to be present, made the following remark: "It is impossible for this man not to become a Catholic, so masterfullyhashesung the praises of the Mother of God." The tenor was privileged to enjoy a long conversation with his highly honored countryman, Bishop Hayasaka. Some time after this he approached the rector of Propaganda to receive instruction in the truth of the Catholic reli. gion. After studying the doctrines of the Church for seven months, he was given the grace to make his submission to the Faith. Cardinal Van Rossum himself conferred on him the Sacra~ ments of Baptism and Confirmation, and then gave the fervent converthisfirstHoly Communion. Mexico. Throughout Mexico, the churches are filled all day with · worshippers, though no priests openly officiate. The people cling to their faith and, as far as persecution permits, practice it.

He added that the present attempt to restrict P nilippine sugar " comes directly from the interests which have invested in Cuban sugar." "Summing up," he concluded, ;;the COIIlJilittee is asked by the proper limitation to strike a blow at an industry which at present is not affecti~g the price of domestic sugar and which cannot possibly affect the price for many years to come. Owing to the democratic method of cultivation fostered under laws of the .American congress, such limitation would be interpreted as a betrayal of trust by the United States toward a dependent people. Such betrayal would violate the principles of g·overnment which have been initiated by the Republican administration and would arouse widespread criticism in the Orient and in other parts of t(le world. Foreign Ireland. Col. James Fitzmaurice, one of the three members of the crew of the airplane Brenen which last spring made the first non-stop flight from Europe to North .America, has resigned as head of the Irish Free State Air Force. He will devote himself to the promotion of a new commercial steamship line from Galway, Ireland, to Halifax, Nova Scotia. This route will greatly shorten the time required for a transatlantic crossing and for this reason steamship companies would need fewer ships and the fuel expense would be much less than it is now. Col. Fitzmaurice hopes in this manner to make Galway a great commercial port and also a base for airplane and seaplane lines. Cold Wave Encircles Globe. Winter of 1929 will be remembered because of the intensely cold weather that visited most of the northern hemisphere. Ice breakers on the lagoons of Venice, snow in southern Italy, and the extinguishing- of the "eternal flame" at the tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Paris, due to the freezing of the fuel which feeds it, were some of the unusual consequences of the world-wide wave of Siberian weather. In Berlin the coldest day in 200 years was reported and almost the same conditions prevailed in England, Denmark, Poland, the Balkans, Central Europe, and North America. Much suffering and many deaths resulted from the unusually severe weather. Heavy snowfalls, terrific storms, railroad blockades. and food shortages accompanied the cold. In some countries troops were called out to clear railroads and highwa.ys of snow, and airplanes were sent to isolated places to carry food. T h e United States New Cabin et of Pres. H oover.

Two members of the new cabinet, Secretaries J\f Pllon and Davis, also belonged to the Coolidg·e-Cabinet. It wi1l be noted that six of the number are lawyers, one is a banker, one an educator, and one a former steel worker. What the Ccibinet Is. The Cabinet is the President's Council. It is composed of the heads of the ten executive departments of the Government whom the President appoints when he takes office. The Senate, however, must confirm their appointment. The President consults with his Cabinet on important government problems, but he is not obliged to follow its ad vice. Members of the Cabinet of the United Stat.;s do not help to make laws as do those of the British Cabinet. They cannot hold any other office such as that of Senator or Representative while they arn in the Cabinet. The Cabinet meets at half 'past ten o'clock each Tuesday and Friday morning when the President is in Washington, in the Cabinet room adjoining the President's office. The salary of a Cabinet member is $15.000 a year - the same as that of the Vice President. The salary of the President is $75,000 a year with $25,000 more allowed for traveling and official entertainment expenses. It is customary for retiring Cabinet members to buy the chairs which they used during their term in office and new chairs are bought for incoming members. 23 How It Originated. A Cabinet is not. provided for in the Constitution. That document merely states, A rt. II, Sec. 2, that the President "may reqnire the opinion in writing· of the principal officer in each of t he executive departments, upon any subject relating to the duties of their respective offi•)es." Ever since Washington's administration. however, there has been a cabinet, although at first it was called a '·council" and consisted only of four men-the Secretaries Qf State, the Treasury, · and ·war, and the Attorney General. The first Cabinet or '!Council" meeting recorded was in 1791 when President Washingt.on invited the Secretaries of State, the Treasury, and vYar, and the Attorney General to confer on certain important matterR. How It Grew In 1198, during John Adam's administration, a fifth member was added to the Cabinet-the Secretary of the Navy. From then on the growth of the Cabinet took place as follows: in 1829, in the Jackson administration, Postmaster General; 1849 in McKinley's administration, Secretary of the Interior; 1889, in the Cleveland administrabion, Secretary of Agriculture; 1903, Roosevelt's ~dministration, Secretary of Commerce and Labor; in 1913, in the Wilson administration, the last named department was divided and a Secretary of Commerce and Secretary of Labor were appointed. It was when the Cabinet consisted of seven members that it began to meet regularly. Before that it had met only when summoned. The Presidentiltl Succession Act Of all the Cabinet offices, that of the Secretary of State is considered the most important and honorable. In the U.S. Government it most nearly resembles the office of the Prime RE M EMBER THEM IN YOUR DAILY OFFERING 24 Minister in other countries. In 1868 Congress passed the Presidential 8uccession Act which establishes t he order in which members of the Cabinet would succeed to the Presidency if the President and Vice President were to die during the same Presidential term. The Act gave precedence to the four Cabinet offices established in Washington's administration in the following order - State, Treasury, War, Attorney General - and placed the others in the order in which their departments werfo created, not, it should be noted, in the order in which the department heads wer e elevated to the Cabinet. This rule does not apply to the four members of Washington's Cabinet nor does the Act mention the Secretaries of Agriculture, Commerce, and Labor, these depan.ments .not hadng been created at the time it was passed.

The disasters of record are those leg-ally termed "'acts of God, includ - ing: Earthquakes, vokanic eruptions, landsl ide , floods, cyclones. tornadoei", hurricans, typhoons, droug-hts, tidal waves, famines, fires, avalanches. plagues, grasshoppers. locusts and the like.

Commander Byrd named one of the mountain chains the Rockefeller Range after John D. Rockefeller Jr., who has given financial aid to his various expeditions. The great new territory he discovered has been named by the Commander, Marie Byrd Land after his wife. The new territory comprises 40.000 square miles. The flights made so far by Commander Byrd's expedition, while highly successful, are really only experiµie ntal. Commander Byrd wants to become famiiiar with flying conditions in the antarctic before winter sets in, and be ready for the principal part of his work when summer comes again. The best flying months in the antarctic are NoYember, December, January, and February. Duri ng part of the long winter which confronts the explorers it will be impossible for them to leave their sn ug houses in "Little America." }[ uch scientific work can be done in and near camp, however. When ·newly discovered territory is claimed for a country, as Commander Byrd claimed Marie Byrd Land for the United States. and as the late Capt. Robert Scott claimed King Edward VII Land for England, what iights has that government over the ne,,- la-nd? That is a question which has never been definitely settled by international law.

I will shower down abundant blessings on all their undertakings. 6. Sinners shall find in My Heart a source and boundless Ocean of mercy. 7. Tepid souls shall become fervent. 8. Ferventsoulsshallrisespeedily to great perfection. 9. I will bless the houses in which the picture of My Sacred Heart shall be exposed and honored. 10. I will give the priests the power of touching the most hardened hearts. 11. Persons who propa:gate this devotion shall have their names written in My Heart, and they shall never be effaced therefrom. 12. I will grant the grace of final repentance to all those who shall communicate on the first Fridayninemonths consecutively. ~'7 2) Why does one make the nim first Fridays? Are the same done for a special intention? It is St. Margaret Mary who spent her life in spreading devotion of the nine first Frida'Ys. Our Lord aippeared to her and said, "I long to be loved by the children of men but their hearts are cold and indifferent."_ Again He stated the twelve promises of His Sacred Heart for those who would make the nine first Frid~ys. He stated that in the superabundance of His meroy He would not suffer anyone who made the nine first Fridays to die as His enemy. This devotion is the receiving of our Lord in holy communion and offering it in reparation for the many sins committed against Him in the Blessed Sacrament. This is only a private revelation and not an article of faith, but, the general custom of Catholics and the encouragement of the Church would have us ever be faithful in this devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. ~c-"" Must a Catholic pray before and after meals? 1 have been in many Catholic homes where no prayers were said before and after meals. I would like to k11ow i} this is right. It is not right. Catholics should pray before and after meals. Not to do so is suggestive of little sins of spiritual sloth, carelessness about the blessing of God, ingratitude, bad example and such like things. We say "Please" and "Thank you" to everybody else. vVhy not be just as polite with God? v.::.c--What are the prayers to be said fo1· the Statirms? The Stations of the Cross are a highly indulgenced and very meritorious devotional exercise by which the participant in a manner 27 follows the Savior through His passion and meditates on the most prominent features of it. Our Blessed Lady was probably the first one to make the Way of the Cross-in Jerusalem itself. She reverently and meditatively and sorrowfullyfollowed the road that He had taken when carrying His heavy cross; and in spirit she stood beneath it again on Mt. Calvary. Now we have the Stations, fourteen in number, in all our churches. In imitation of His painful journey we go round the church. In performing this devotion one must move from Station to Station and make a short meditatio11 on the subject which -each represents. No special prayers are necessary; going from Sta'tion to Station and meditating briefly on each is sufficient. Where many make the Stations publicly it is not necessary that all move from Station to Station. Though no special prayers are prescribed, it is of great help to most Catholics to use the appropriate prayers and meditations found in their prayerbook. 28 KAILBAG OFTHE LITTLE AtOITlE For all correspondence with "THE LITTLE APOSTLE" send your letter to "THE LITTLE APOSTLE" BOX 1393, MANI~A Dear Readers.

DURING the month of September, 1885, Emma's parents left the castle of V ... and spend the winter months at S. At that time, the little child wa~ six and a half years of age; consequently, her parents were thinking of her instruction and provided her with good Catholic teachers. Already, besides her native tongue, she spoke german fluently; and she learned english within a very short time. As was the custom at that time in the Church, she made her first confession at the age of seven. How she had longed to purify her innocent soul. Her little childish faults weighed heavily on her loving heart!; she understood how Jesus had suffered not only for great sinners but also for those who lightly offend Him. The thought of how through her little faults, she made Jesus suffer while scourged and crowned with thorns and of His infinite love with which He had endured those torments to take away the just chastisement she deserved for being so cruel with our Savior, made her shed bitter tears. Her SUPPORT A CATECHIST contrition was perfect, and even before she entered the confessional all her little sins had been forgi Yen on account of that great supernatural sorrow. If she had died at that moment, she would have gone straight to heaven. Though she had made her first confession, little Emma was not allowed to receive Holy Communion. At that epoch, children made their first Communion at the age of eleven or twelve years. If the time she had to wait, before she could receive Holy Communion, was long, she profited by this long interval to prepare herself so much better, especially by prayer, little mortifications and her sufferings. Emma liked to play, but her serious thoughts always accompanied her, even in her innocent diversions. One day, her mother found her hidden behind a screen, devoutly saying her beads. -"What are you doing here?" her mdther asked. -"Pst! Mamma, don't speak. We are playing hide-and-seek. The other girls have been looking for me for a long time and can not find me. So, in the meantime I -am praying a :rosary." J'ust after her first confession, littk: Emma became sick. Her parents had moved to Paray-leMonial. Had this change something to do with her continual headache, or did God permit these pains to try His little friend 31 and give her the means of attaining a greater holiness in a shorter time? The doctor, after serious examination of the little girl, forbade her not ,only to study but even to nad. This latter was a great sacrifice, but Emma had acquired enough will poiwet to submit blindly to the orders given by the doctor. She saw in the man of science one of her superiors, and in her superiors she saiw a representative of Gdd, who has to be obeyed as God Himself. Nevertheless she sometimes wa& illowed to go to the chapel of the Sisters of the Cenacle She even attended a retreat preached at this san~tuary. One day, while conversing with one of the Sisters she often visited, her most inner thought escaped in the following words: -"Mother," she said, "please pray much for me and ask God to grant me the favor of making my first Communion before long. If I have to wait until I am eleven years old, that time is still too far away. I like your Order very much; if I had the vocation, I would enter it during the retreat." Her confessor was the Reverend Father Plantaz, Superior of the Jesuits of Paray. A man of great erudition and virtue, he found in little Emma such wonderful gifts of Heaven, that several times he asked to see her and later he declared that he always had been SACR IFLC E BRINGS REWA R D 32 very much edified by her conversations. Alas, from this time the life of Little Emma bec~me a true way to Calvary. She was seldom without pains: God had chosen His little friend to be a mysterious victim of reparation and expiation. It was in this same town of Paray-le-Monial that Our Lord appeared to Saint Marguerite Mary. One da;y, He told this Holy servant the following: "I am searching a victim for my Heart". Little Emma will be Jesus victim of the greatest humility and purity .... "Glory be and honor to God," Saint Angele de Foligno exclaims, "to God, so sweet, who has deigned to give His Kingdom to the little children." This Kingdom of Jesus must be conquered for ourselves and opened to others at the price of suffering. Did Jesus not suffer to redeem us and save our souls? "Jesus Himself" continues Angele de Foligno," has conquered His Kingdom by suffering." It is a great favor to be chosen by God and beoome His privileged friend, though in the eyes of the world it may seem harsh and even unnatural, that God chastises whom He loves, but His Saints must be purified in pains as the gold is cleaned by fire. To show that God Himself has taken into His sacred hand the soul of little Emma to bring her to the acme of perfection and holiness, we will follow her as she is wavering between life and death, unable to explain in a human way that succession of Emma's agonies and recoveries and we will see that her multiple resurrections after many agonies are found only in the lives of greait victims of God's love, chosen by Himself to save and sanctify others.
