Albert Of The Belgians- Harry Of The Police On February 17, 1934, Albert king of the Belgians, fell from a cliff and the world mourned.

On the very next day Harry Donahue, of the Philadelphia police, succumbed to a gangster's bullet, and his friends wept. The sovereign of an entire nation and a guardian of a city's nectlou bad a one great thing In jommou way of knowing, loving and serving God. Each assisted at maas on Sundays. Each confessed ills sins to a priest. Each received Into hia breast his God in Holy Communion.

Each prayed to the Bleaaed Vlrglu Mother and to the saints. King and policemen are now no more, but Albert' and Harry will live on forever. They have gone, wp believe, to to hobnob with. the fisherman who died on a the colored woman, who washed other folks Michelangelo, the painter of cathedrals and Donnelly, the painter of fences and barna the scientist who save us the waiter who served smith with his beer. The church that shows the same way, the same truth, the same life to a Belgian monarch and an American a first century fisherman and a twentieth century surely the one church NOW PLAYING AMUTTVCAL Paramount Pictorial and Foj Movietone that can be rightfully called "Catholic;" and Just as surely, to our tnlnde, the one kind of church that an all-knowing, all-just God csuld and would establish.
