Quinlan, chaplain of Sacred Heart
Seminary, said it was eminently fit
ting that Sharon should have a
branch of the association despite
the fact that there is but a hand
ful of Catholics in the town. Sha
ron is the cradle of the faith in
Georgia, he said, and he traced
Catholic history back to 1794, when
the first members of the church
came to the state from Maryland.
The oldest Catholic church in the
state is still standing here, oppo
site Sacred Heart Seminary, a school
for boys conducted by the Sisters of
St. Joseph.

nited in marriage late in Febru-
"V at Sacred Heart church, Rev. P.

San Francisco, .Cal.,—Ignace Jan
Paderewski, former premier of Po
land* is among the relatively few
persons in America intimately ac
quainted with Pope Pius XI. The
new Pope and the grcni pianist met
when the former was Papal Nuncio
to Poland in 1720 and the latter was
head of the Polish government.
“The breadth and depth of Mon
signor Ratti’s culture, bis personal
charm and his great chaitable heart
compelled admiration and affec
tion,” said Mr. Paderewski. “I had
the occasion to meet him almost
daily, cither in the course of offi
cial business or in purely social re
lations. He won the respect and
I confidence of every one.”
Paris—'■Marshal Foch presided at
the unveiling of the monument plac
ed in the courtyard of the College
of St. Louis Gonzaga, directed by
the Jesuits, in memory of the stud
ents of the college who died in
the war. Among the 200 names of
students inscribed on the memor
ial is the name of the only son of
Marshal Foch, who was killed near
Longwy in Augu&t, 1914. After the
presentation *of the monument had
been made by the architect, who
is a priest of the Society of Jesus,
by the way, one of the students
read the names of the dead, and
after each name, one of the ojder
students, who had been disabled in
the war, answered: “Tombe pour
la Patrie” (Fallen for his country.)
Marshal Foch then said a few mov
ing words on the great lessons of
devotion, sacrifice and death.
Ottawa, Ont. — Of the nineteen
members of the new Canadian cabi
net chosen by the new premier, Hon.
C. L. Mackenzie King, twelve are
Protestants and seven are Catholics.
Ibis is a most adequate representa
tion for the Catholic minority and
may be regarded as a fair propor
tional distribution of cabinet of
fices.
Of the seven Catholic members of
the new cabinet, the minister of
justice, Sir Lomer Gouin, is a for
mer premier of the province of Que
bec, who now makes his debut in
federal politics. An able lawyer and
administrator, he should be a strong
nian in Mr. King's official family
Hon. W. C. Kennedy, who as min
ister of railways, has a most impor
tant portfolio, is a prominent busi-
I ness man and a convincing speaker.
Hon. Charles Murphy, who was sec
retary of state iii the Laurier ad
ministration, becomes postmaster
general. He is one of the leaders
of the bar who, in his student days
won the medal presented by Pope
Leo XIII. for the best thesis in phi
losophy prepared at Ottawa Univer
sity. When Hon. N. W. Rowel, a
member of the former coalition gov
ernment, attacked the French relig
ious orders during the war, his
charges were completely refuted by
Mr. Murphy.
One of the most popular appoint
ments is that of Hon. H. S. Belaud
as minister of health and soldiers’
re-establishment. Dr. Bcland was
captured by the Germans early in
the war and was a prisoner with
his wife in Belgium. As a physician
he has been honored by high office
in various medical societies of Can
ada. He is a keen debater equally
at home in French and English. Hon.
Ernest Lapointe, who represents Sir
Wilfrid Laurier’s old seat, is an
other bilingual speaker of power, as
is Hon. Jacques Bruneau, a former
solicitor general who returns to of
fice. Hon. Raoul Dandurand is a
senator and privy councillor who is
a director in many leading financial
corporations.
