SUBJECT The CatBolic Church CONCERT The Glee Club of the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick The Diocese Syracuse is favored -in the appointment of Mon signor Duffy, Vicar-General of the Diocese xt Newark, as its new Bishop. Few priests in the country better equipped in every way Hto fulfill the difficult demands of the Episcopate than Monsignor Duffy. A saintly and scholarly man, a superb leader, and admin istrator, and a finely 'polished, but "with all, democratic leader, he impresses and stimulates all with "whom, he comes into contact. On several occasions THE TABLET has extolled the Bishop-elect for the great things he has achieved with the Holy Name Society of the Diocese of Newark.

has di- rected the building up of this organization until now it "has over 125,000 members. And he has been extremely solicitous in his meth- ods of organizations and in the activities he has established.

The Catholic Action program, wlpch was outlined here last December, and the organization of several Forums reflect credit on the Holy Name Society. The conduct of meetings, making them spiritual and intellectual with the political and -the campaign, for social justice bespeak a realization of the times in which we live. THE TABLET congratulates both: Syracuse and Bishop-elect jDufty, and wishes hini the same "whole measure of success which he achieved in, Newark, where both the clergy and laity deeply respect him as a man of priestly zeal, loy-alty and courage.

The deration of Father Walsh, 1 co-leader of Mary knoll, to the episcopate adds lustre to the hier- archy. A graduate of Harvard, I Father Walsh entered the seminary I at Brighton, then under the Sulpi-1 cian the eighties. When he heard the lif a of Theophane Ve- nard read' at spiritual "reading he i was captivated and captured for the mission cause. The seed sown was i nourished and reaped, by the late saintly Father Andre; who, while teaching theology at was stalwart champion of the mis-: sions, and he encouraged the future apostle. JESUS CHRIST, TRUE SOD JESUS CHRIST is God.

The proofs of His divinity are so raany that In this short article it is practically Impossible to mention sJI of them. Accordingly here we ehall merely touch on some of the more Important arguments. The divinity lot Christ Is proved by the words Hia prophets, by the testimony or God the Father, ty the teaching both of His apos- tles and of His ihurch. and lijjally His own testi: nony. The prophet again and again declared that the Redeemer to come would be God.

Isalas called Him Emmanuel, "God with us." Daniel described hlin ks 'the Saint of saints," and Jeremlas wrote thua. "This la the name that they ahall call Him, the Lord our just one." At the baptism of our Saviour In the Jordan and at His transfiguration on Mount Thabor, His heavenly Fathe bore eloquent saying, "This Is testimony to Hir my beloved Son, whom I am well pleaaed." And on" here must be taken literally, an is apparent both from the Wording itself and from the interpretation put upon it by the Apostlea. Testimony of. the Apostles The apostles, who were Christ's own con -anions authorized to preach in HIS name, taught explic itly that Jesus Is God and all crea-adore Him. The tures ought to writings of the evangelists are crowded with texts showing their firm faith in His divinity.

The anostles, moreover, confirmed their teaching regarding tho divinity of Christ by numerous miracles and especially fcy the most astounding of all miracles, Ihe conversion of the world. "By the hands of the apostles were ma iy signs and wonders wrought amcng the people. insomuch ttat they forth the sick into the stree'ts, and laid them on beds and couches, that when Peter camel his shadow at the least might overshadow any of them, and they might be delivered from their infirmities." (Acts 12, 16.) 1 1 Christ Godhood becau These miracles are evidence of se, being sent by Him, the Apostles wrought them in His name In proof of their divine mission. St. Peter said to the lame man.

"In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, arise and walk," and to the Sanhedrin. "By the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God hath raised from the dead, even by Him this man stand eth here before you whole." Testimony of tlie Clmrch The Catholic Church has always taught the divinity of Christ and has indeed made this truth the fun damental doctrine of Christianity. When In the fourth century the Arians denied thejdivjnity of Christ the whole Church rose up against them and the Nicene Creed was for mulated to emphasize the fact that Christ is truly God. The faith of the Church in Christ's divinity la well substanti ated by the history of the Christian martyrs. In every age thousands have" suffered most cruel torments and death itself father than deny this doctrine.

Their extraordinary heroism and constancy really give a supernatural character to their testimony. Christ's Testimony and Its Confirmation 1 Christ Himself bbr witness that He is tho Son of God and true- God aa lb His When Calphaw said to Him, "I abjure thee by the living God, that TftoU tell us if Thou be the Christ the Son of God." Jesus deliberately! replied, "Thou hast said It" Moreover, He es cribed to Himself divine attributes and spoke of Himself as being One the Father, lie said. "All things whatsoever, the Father hath, are and VHe that, seeth Me, seeth the Father also'' and yet again, "1 and the Father are one." Christ also required all men to believe In His divinity and to honor Him aa (Sod. Christ's own testimony here summarized is strongly confirmed by. tho pre-eminent Banctlty of His life; by the exalted character and force of His doctrine; by His miracles and prophecies and by His death and resurrection.

The sanctity of Jesus is revealed in His perfect sinlessness, in the variety of His virtues, in the perfection of His character and in the exalted nature of His aim! The sublimity of Christ's doctrfne is manifest in His teachings regarding faith and morals while) its force is seen in the effect that it has had upon mankind, winning thej hearts of men and transforming the world. The resurrection Of Jesus furnishes the conclusive arrument Christianity. And nothing but (the. fact of the resurrection can account for the success attending jthe preaching of the Apostles; They must themselves have been absolutely certain of His resurrec Jon or they could never have convinced others of It. The evidence in support of the divinity of Christ shiold be absolutely convincing ito the human intellect.

The great remedy for doubts, on this subject is the leading of a good Christian life Those who keep the commandments rarely lose their religious beliefs. Lojsa of faith generally follows upon) a loss of morals. REV. CHARLES E. CURLEY.

A few days later the eight youths met again with an old priest, Pere Bailly, who suggested that they "go and help the poor, each in your special line." Ozanam sitting next to the priest warmly indorsed, the suggestion and asked where they were to find the poor. The Abbe told them to consult Soeur Rosalie, the great visitor among the poor at that time. She was overjoyed to meet them and to learn their mission.

She gave them a lipt of families to visit and explained the method to follow. They placed themselyes under the protection of St. Vincent de Paul. Each of the eight visited the families they had to meeb and gathered once a week to advise one anotherf-on their problems. Tlie gathering began with prayer, -and a tanection was made for the "bons-or tickets for food and heat.

Purely secular affairs or pelitics were not to have any part in the work of the society they were organized solely to relieve suffering. With the wise counsel of Pere Bailly, and the noble enthusiasm of Frederic Ozanam, the society spread in a few years over the greater part of France and acquired a strong foothold in Italy. In 1853 Ozanam, when inaugurating a new Conferences in Florence, told how, as a student, he" was stung by the reproach of the SimonianX and how he con ceived' the iaea of confounding them. "Eight of he said, "united in this idea and, at first, if zealous of eur new-found treasure, we would not open the door of our little assembly to anyone else. But God had other views with respect to us.

The association of a few intimate friends became, in His designs, the nucleus of an immense family of brothers that was to spread over a great part of Europe. You see that we cannot with truth take the title of founders, for it was God Who willed and Who founded our society." When Ozanam died, the great Dominican, Abbe Lacordaire, called him, in his eulogy, glorious benefactor of the desolate and distressed in every land!" Then he drew, tears from everyone present in1 the Cathedral of Notre Dame as he told of his sacrifices and work among the poor. He concluded with this tribute "What angel's pen will ever be abb3 to record the deeds of more than knightly merit which thy great soul iyispj'raf while vn artft, arid still in ever-increasing measure multiplieth through the agency of thy Heaven-born. Society. Thy spirit worketh today in all it3 activities; thy benison falleth on the work of all thy followers; and the children qt far-off lands, no less than of thine own, shall pray to thee as their Father -and their friend." Throughout the world today the Society cf St.

Vincent de Paul cele brates its. centenary. The Society is great because it follows in the footsteps of Our Lord and Saviour. He was great because He was humble; He loved the poor because He lived and worked directly among them; He was not inter ested in "cases" or "clients but in men, women and children. Cath olic -Action is the shibboleth of our times; the St.

Vincent-de Paul So ciety is real Catholic Action. Its every activity is a blessing1 a blessing to 'our religion, a blessing to our community, a blessing to the poor, and a blessing to those who perform the works. loaay, wnen conditions are as difficult as 'those in Ozanam 's time, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul offers a practical service to the Church and humanitv which no other organization does The annual report of our dio cesan unit, recently presented, tells in a small but definite way the year's record.

This is true, for onany of the sta tistical and overhead features of modern social research are open to criticism, though at same time it is necessary to keep records and to keep them well. Why? Firstly, in Justice to the workjn which one is engaged.

In normal times statisticians tell us that close to 89 per cent, of the business failures may be traced to a lack of keeping books or to an inaccurate orfalsif yingway of keeping them. Yon cannot study, trace, understand, grasp 6r hope to solve anything unless yon have and keep a record of it. Secondly, ihe keeping of records enables the general society to appraise a situation, cote a condition, describe a tendency and prescribe a cure for the matter under, discussion. Thirdly, one is enabled to discover and book "the beats' who thrive in times of misfortuse.

aa well as annual Donation and Ihe Modern World J. CURTIN, K.SLC. treats of endeavors of this sort as "support given the Church," and lauds "those chosen bands of Catholics who take intimately to heart the interests of the people, especially; those of the working and the agricultural classes, not only by inculcation of religion but also by striving to soothe their Bufferings, and byi wise measures to improve their economic con ditions." Francis J. SheedJ former Master of the Catholic Evidence Guild of Westminster, England, and a leader" in Evidencej Guild work in England, when here recently, de clared that "nothing is more start ling man uie tuange in wie apologetical methodj of the Church in the past decade, a ehange which he attributed largely to "the change in the! religious attitude of the non-Cathojic." "Protestantism, for the majority," he asserted, "Js no longer a strong body of religious doctrines; people are uninterested in God, incredulous about hell, apathetic about heaven. For it is no longer a strong and yirilq force making for hatred of the Cljurch, but little more than a vague suspicion of the Church as a body that would like to dominate men in some way that is not quite: clear.

Against such an attitude, if anything so utterly formless can be called jan attitude, the Catholic must hurl the whole force of Catholicism. To argue against it would be arguing against a mist. "But if people ate not worried about' God and the life, they hre worried about themselves and this life. Particularly they are concejned about suffering, and, to their credit be it said, they are really1 concerned about human suffering, in general and not merely their own, to a point of intensity that fan seldom'have been equalled in the world's history. The Catholic approach to them, therefore, must) take account of their lack of interest in theology as such, and of theirj preoccupation with the trouble and suffering in The outdoor speakers of the Catholic Evidence Guild have found that by avoiding controversy altogether, by concentrating on the need for finding J.he means of life and showing how completely the Catholic scheme of life, they can hold the crowd's interest as never before." It is for this reason that many seminaries now.

train the future priests in a knowledge of methodvs of combating agnosticism and of engaging in relief endeavor. We- have" recently been both amused and chagrined by typographical errors. A prize might be given once a year to the best or worst oneu. We spoke at Columbus Council last Sunday, and the New York Times stated we "condemned fraternalism and dictatorship," The word fraternalism" appeared in the article three times, though tke word "paternalism" was the one used. -This is almost a prize-winner.

i Perhaps a mare I embarrassing one was the church news notices in a daily paper which said "St. Andrew's P. Church Choir will sin next Sunday niflrht, The typographical, mistakes that are readable are frequently the most humorous. Thus we read in a paper: "Matrimony is a place of remission for the punishment due to sin." Years ago we recall the Holy Name Societies and Knights Of Columbus passing resolutions and urging the city authorities to put an end to Sunday work in I the Street Cleaning Department, The city kindly acceded, When we behold the collection of ashes even en faster Sunday We wonder why the reversion to the practises of twenty years ago, It can hardly be ascribed tp a shortage in men. In Roosevelt's scheme of things, the political pie wilT be served, as dessert should be, last.

It aeema our new i -warships are aot a success as fighters. But thinfi what a nice place they make 'for the naval officers to hold dances are wasted oa "beats." Recently individuals in, New York got close to half a million dollars by fooling th people. By striving to detect we fight wastage and at the same time conserve resources for worthy cases. Fourthly, the keeping of records enables the in dividual conference and the coun cil to spread, befon; the Catholic people and the gent ral public the interesting, lnformmg and Chritst- like work that our Church and society is carrying on. While it is not the habit of the Sqciety to brag of its accomplishments or boast of its deedsj yet the record ing of facts and 'figures will en courage and stimukite its members and let the world know not only that the Church is really and truly a friend of the poor, but their best friend.

Last weef while in an other city we came across a parish that for months his given away 1,000 pants of milk a week to the schpol children. Hardly anyone knows cf such a btneficent activ ity. It should inspire all to emulate the deeds. And lastly, the keeping of records rnables the Society to present in tangible, accurate and convincing form reports to civic or philanthropic bodies who may at times Aw willing to cooperate with, those who are assist ing the poor. i Now, while on this subject of records, we are net to go to the other iExtreme.

There are societies in our city which hardly lo anything but keep records. They are professionals at this game and frequently parasites. For instance, on a recent occasion, we read in the daily pres3 that one charitable organization of New York has reported that 1,000 in-- vestigators have discovered the mental or" physiolcgical results of the depression are alarming. Homes are being upset and nagging, fighting and desertion resulting. Now, depression or no depression, we know there are troubles in the homes in rich as well as poor.

And we believe Repression is merely an additional reason for disagreement. We take it for granted that women do not like their husbands or sons to be out of work.

What constructive factor results from the figurative or statistical taking apart of the human mind or body to see what makes i tick?

A scholarly priest has said that the three' greatest wjrks of the Catholic Church in the United States: in recent times have been: the establishment of the University of America, the found- ing the Catholic Encyclopedia and the organizing of the Mary-: knoll Mission movement.

Father Walsh is responsible for the latter i achievement. If merit and accom-; plishment are worthy of recog- nition, it night be said that no one was more deserving of Episcopal honors than Father Walsh. His many friends in Brooklyn congrat- ulate him and, the society. One hundred years ago tomorrow Frederick Ozanam established the Society of St. Vincent de Paul.

His times saw difficulties not unlike On the one hand there were perplexing and involved problems which false theories of economics had ushered in and oh the other hand there was a spirit rife which was either antagonistic or indifferent to, Christianity.
