Ignatius Smith, O.P., not- ed priest-orat0r, delivered a stirring addresss that made a profound im- lression on the great e.0ngregation. The climax came as the Marian Procession. Because of the cold weather, the procession was held in- doors. It was led by choirs and • chool children, and was participated in by the members ef the Hierarchy, members of the college faculty, cler- RT and religious. Tapers' carried by the marchers added to the beauty of tlm scene as they sang Ave Marls Stella and Pange Lingua. Thousands Visit City The Rt. Ray. Msgr. John M. Wolfe, muperintendent of the schools in the Archdiocese ,was general chairman of the Catholic Action Week, which was, without a doubt, the most magni- ficent religious demonstration Iowa has ever witnessed. It, attracted theusand. of people te Dubuque. It embraced every phase of relig- ious activity and work in which tl ptople of the Archdiocese of Dubu- que are ,engaded, and proved the tre- mendous power of organization. In €he space of a year and a few months, n organization f remark:ble Tength has been built up within he Archdiocese, Catholic Action Week opened with a Pontifical High Mass, Tuesday, celebrated in Loras, gymnasium by Archbishop Beckman, .The sermon was delivered by .the Most Ray. John Gregory Murray, Archbishop of St. Paul. An inspiring sight was the great Eucharistic procession which follow- ed the Mass. This 'took place on Lores campus; I The Priest's Eucharistic League] b, eld its conference in the morning, and at noon joined with the Arch- diocesan Council of Catholic Women at a luncbeen at Nativity Hall, fol- lowed by a program which was a avmposum of Catholic Action. Women's Council Meeting he Council of Catholic Womn held its second annunal convention in the afternoon. Mrs. R. J. Sweeney waa re-elected president. The report f the year's activities showed grati. iring growth of the ,Study Club movement  the Archdiocese now baying some 112 groups engaged in this activity. Women have under- taken with high success the work of the Confraternity vf Chris€tan Dee- trine and are devotinff much time to teaching catechism to children who could noz attend parochial schools. The Parent-Teacher movement is likewise well underway. "There is no man that siuneh not." (3 Kings 8:46). "If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves.:{ (1 Jn. 1:8.) Surely, we all know of many a on.c who passed .suddenly out of this world, who, i,n the estimation of everyone, was, a person of go(d Iiife and character, and yet there were fauI.s, imperfections, lesser sins, in .that oul at the instant e, death. Who would be brutal enough to assert that that .soul is in hell s 'And who would be unscriptural and rash enough to insist thaC he has dire,ctly gone into the presence of the Almighty Rewarder? Saint Paul distinctly peaks of .sucn, and in terms ,of mercy and reason: "He shah be aved, yet so as by fire." (I Cor. 3:15.) Ah,, the Author of the Scriptures is also {he Author of mann's intelligencc. Chris. lianity is in ,perfect harmony with the finest and highest "conunon se,nse." Res.o compels us to dis- tinguish between a man who strives to lead a good moral Christian life, though he has faults, nd the vic- ious man who is proudly, resohr.ely, and hatefully rebellious agains his God, and unjust and cruel to- ward's his fellow-creature. There is a vast difference, too,*between a crime or grievous sin, and a fault of human beirgs committed with- .out full co,nsent, or in matters of less importance. "Sin, when it is completed, begetteth death," says Saint James the Apostle in his Epistle (1:15.) Hence the am.lent Catholic Church has always distin- guished between mortal sin and vnial sin. Mortal sin, like mortal wounds, is unto death---deserving of of .the loss of Heaven. Venial sin a lesser offense, is not enough to keep us from the attainment of Heaven. The man, therefore, who pare the sermons you hear wii[ the wri,ings of the first holy I;,kh- ops of Chrit's Church? You wiil be enlightened great!y if you do. I Be not terrified therefore at the saying, "Nothing defiled shall enter Heaven," as the Scri.ptures assm'e us that our He averAy Fatier dc$ not take us unawares from erih in order to deprive us from the. share in His glory which is our. "The Son of Man is come to seek and saw that which wa.s lost." "I have lvcA y'u with an everlasti.ng love.' Therefore! He crc.ated us to share His glory and enjoy His unspeakably blessed com. puny forcver. He only needs to fear who has made pc,ace in his heartt with mortal sin, with grievous wrongdoing, and who excludes God from his heart, his life, and hi.s home. "tie that shall confess Me bcf,*re men, I will confess hiu:. before My Father who is in Heaven; and, he that shall deny Me ,before nen, I, shall also deny him before My Fa3 thor who is in Heaven. ( The Scriptures were written for us by the holy Bisho,ps of that Church in order to be our guide through a wholesome Christian life into a happy eterni[y. They were€ left as evidence of Christ's Ere, HL*( character, Hi,s Divinity, His Church, and His Sacraments. They are the writte.n credentials of the Priesthood which he ordained, as men pecia!l. consecr.ated t,: renew daily the Sacri- fice established for the New Testa- n.ent at tle time of the la,st supper. I They tell us plainly, "My yoke is "sweet. and My burden ,a light." "He, that followeth Me walketh not in darkness." Hence, it is only when we have but a portion of Chri.t'w doctrine in our rinds that it can terrifify any good-living person. If all the Christian world had conAnued repOn,ts of his serious sins, and who ih the unity of the Mother Church dies with lesser sins upon his soub I we should all still feel quite assur- shall certainly ge saved. "He shal ed that "His mercy is above all'His be saved, yet so as by fire." A p v)- son who does not believe in the ex4 terence of such a place as purgatory, must cloe his eyes indeed to many passages of Sacred Scripture. In the last part of she Old Testa.[ cent (2 Machabees 12:46) we read the admonition; "It is a holy and wholesome thought to ray for the dead, that they may be loosed front their sins." Ecclesiasticus 7:37 urges us too to be mindful of our dear departed ones: "Restrain not grace from the dead." Many other passages of the Bible refer to a place of eleansb:g after death: "The cleansing flre." "The refining pot." "The pit." "The place under the earth." "The fur  works," and it would still be an un- shakable Christian conviction tna there is a Heaven for the just, a hell for the reprobate, ad  state .0£ clean.zing, or purgatory, for F(>- haps the great, majority of erring" humans. And the Christian world would be one in its charitable prayt ere for the dead. "It.is a holy and wholesome thought to pray for the dead that they may be loosed fron:l their ins."

What a sweet living parable and likeness of death all this isl Death ia the graduation of a oul. "I sm oome that you may have life," said the Life Giver, "and that you may have it more abundantly." Hi, dq- flnition of death, therefore, is: the entrance into a fuller life. The seed of the forest falls when it is ripe. The Reaper divine takes the sour, when to Him it has reached its besi development. That soul has aswere:l every question which the Master put before it; the intellect saw each prob- lem, and the will freely accepted or rejected; every an.swr created new farm of development in that aoul and thA finished product., th eh;'c - bea', wss rlpned.for eternity. Then ing Body and Blood of the Redeem- er are daily offered for the lving and the dead), because they knew well that they ould receive benefit from it." Saint Augustine, a holy Bib.he9 and one of the mot brilliant mind., in all .Christendom, who lived in the early part of the fifth eenturya tells us, in his Coaffessions, that his dear Christian mother shortly, before her death made this last re- ques of him.: "Lay this body any where; let not the care of it in any way disturb you. Thi only I re- quest of you, that you would re, member me at ihe altar of th Lord, wherever you be." Other writers, by the dozen, might be quoted,Tertul]ian, Eusc- blue, Saint Cyril of Jerusalem, Sat;at Ephrem, Saint Ambrose, Saint Jan- ome, all showing their belief in ease of Hereford in 1917, served in the World War as chaplain wih the American Army, and afterwards served for two years at the Angli- can Church in Florence.

Se Many Reasons "Becoming a Catholic has brought the greatest happiness into mY life that has ever befallen me," Mr. Stead says in his editorial. "And yet, when my friends ask what led m, to resign my comfortable post-- . tiWa as Chaplain and Fellow of an rayer fer e ead who have :ot, Oxford College in crder to join the yet been admitted to the prezenee l Cathliv Church, it is not easy te of God but shall be re:rivals of the Saits, ner ever thouzht of asking them to pray for me. The rc.ult was that the Saints were no more to me than faint, insubstantial figures in the far aw:y and long ago." "I wonder," he writes, "whether those who have always bee Cath- olics realize how splendid it is to have such friends as Saint Pete,r and Saint Paul, Saint Francis, Sain Catherine, the Little FIower and all the Watchers and the Heav- enly £nes? I now have no shy- hess or hesitation in asking the Saints to pray for me, and, if my prayers are feebIe, yet I have at hands these great masters of prayer as my friends." Mother'-Love of Church "There is another rea..:.on appro- priate to the present time; it is the charity, the real mother-love which the Catholic Church extend to the poorest and humblest of its de- iarted children. As we advance iv 'ears, we find with inc:ca.nr , fre- quency how our frie:ds and innost n:mbers of the famiiy elrcle drop wcelc. "The Church desires them and hau ahvays desired them and, as a mark of appreciation she honors them on occasion, as today she hon- ors the Catholic University of Amer- tea," he said. "In using the term 'stronghold of truth,' I mean no only the truths of faith theology and the kindred scicncesfor these, America has a large number of important and efficient seminaries: I mean truth and science in generaI." Sciemce Gone Astray "Science has often and easily gone astray, because it lost sight of tbe Lord God of knowledge. Diverced from G.od, it only multiplied the rid- dles of the uuiverse, those very prob- lems which it boastfully promised to solve;" His Excellency continued. "])'or the philosophy which Chris- tianity made its own, and perfected. for the philosophical perennis which rests upon the most secure of founda- tion, Almighty God; there were sub- stituted systems, built upon frag- mentary and limited experiments; systems which made the creature, away. We accompany them to theland not the Creator, ,the center of the grave, the funeral rites are read, we pay ,them our last respects, and xf ve are not 2a!,.,c:. '.- I kl. v from my own experience, we leave our loved .ones in the grave with an aching scue th:e t.ere is noti:,tg n'r  that we can do But sur,:ly if' the life beyond i,s continuous with! this life, our departed friends ,as a rule at least, are not ready to enter at once into the full splendor and awful holiness of God; they ard pil- grims u,pon whom our prayer may fall hs .the dew of Heaven, they. are hungry and thirsty for the divine ministrations of the sacred liturgy. And the,as ,bleings hey receive from the Catholic Church. "All other communions seem to leave their loved ones at the gave* side, but the .Catholic Church, like a devoted mother, never forger.s or neglecL i's children, .even when their days cn earth are ended. Thi is so familiar to those who were born within the fold, that it may seem tdo obvious te mention. But it is new to me and delightful and in- spiring; what is more, it is so clear- ly right. There is something v¢ry touching in the dead man's mute appeal, 'Of your charity pray for the soul' of such a one, and how sub- limely the Church answers by Divine grace and inspiration, snding forth its blessin,g out of time into eterni- ty?" PASTOR DISCOVERS MEANS TO FIGHT POTATO PEST Paris(NC)A discovery which wil! undoubtedly render a great serv- ice to potato cultivators has just been made by a rural pastor, Abbe Ca]as, who serves the parish of St. Maxens in the Charente. For some years the planters of po- tatoes in central France have seen their crops ravaged by a dangerous insect, the doryphore. Abbe Cales observed that this insect was at- tracted by the leaves of the petunia and, after eating them, died almost immediately. The potatoes he plant- ed near the petunias were untouched. The remedy urged by the abbe is to plant petunias in the middle of the potato field. Newspaper Praises Archbishop Hanna's Mediation of Strikes (By N. C. W. C. News Service) SAN FRANCISCO.  Lauding the effort of the Most Rev. Edward J. Hanna, Archbishop of San Fran- cisco, to bring peace to the riot- torn counties of California where la- bor troubles have resulted in strikes 'and murder the San Francisco News, in an editorial entitled "The Church I Militant," says: ' , "It would ,have been easy for Arch- 'bishop Hann, to have declined this difficult assignment en the score of age, health, or preoccupation with ther duties.

But, no one was fully saris. fled with these various systems ruch les the Christian soul. There was wanting the unchanging principle, which had been lost sight of, the eternal truth which had been aban- (tned. Indeed, there was an abo- ulte need of new strongholds of truth, and, thanks be to God, not a few were erected in this country, among which on the intiative of the hierarchy and with the approval of the Holy See, is this Catholic Uni- versity of America. BenedicLion to Youth "Our universities are a benediction to the youth of the country and to society.

Our universities are not opposed to, on the contrary, they encourage and practice every liberty of research and doubt--doubt i re.ally the time-honor method of Catholic philosovhy and theology which commence their study even of God with 'Videtur quod Deus n.on sit.' They de not limit themselves to ex- amining only one or a few aspects of a problem, but taking their inspira- tion from Christianity which unveils the truths of the supernatural world, they allow the student to consider pr.blems conclusively that one may retatn faith in the teaching of re. ligion and at the same time ccept all the conclusions of true science, for God is the author both of the. one and of the other... Plea for Valiant Leaders ay thm Catholic University ever more and more fulfill the expecta- tions of the Holy Father and of 'the American Bishops; may it ever more and more efficaci.ously defend truth according to the necessary of the times; may it cooperate with the bishops and clergy" of the country in putting forth an effective Apology of Christian truth. The University of I,ouvaln, under the direction of Car- dial Mercier, c.ombatted positisism; the University of Fribourg, under Mermillod, prepared the studies that ripened into the 'Rerum Novarum.' God grant that the Catholic Univer-I sity of America, under,the leadership of its devoted and learned acu]ty, may write a glorious and ]astiflg page in the history of Christian Apologetics and that the students of the univer- sity may become valiant leaders of Catholic thought in the midst of so many and stch confusing errors.
