Witish Public Grows Tolerant
Of Catholic Outdoor Processions
London—The public attitude lo-
| wards Catholic outdoor processions,
in London at all events, seems to
l ave changed greatly since the me
morable year 1908, when Premier
Ascuith at the time of the Euchari
stic Congress, called upon the Car
dinal Archbishop of Westminister to
cancel the public procession through
the streets of Westminister, in
which the Blessed Sacrament was to
have been carried by the Papal Le
gate, Cardinal Vannutelli.
On that ocasion the political ob
jection does not seem to have been
to the procession, as such, since as
a matter of fact there was a pro
cession with the Papal Legate as
the presiding prelate; but it was
the public carrying of the Blessed
Sacrament that seems to have frigh
tened the Liberal Premier.
PROCESSIONS NOW FAMILIAR
But for all that prohibition, Catho
lic public processions have very
much increased, and the annual pil
grimage along the Martyrs’ Why,
that is from Newgate Prison to
Tyburn, which is organized by the
Ransomers, has accustomed the
average public to the sight of Catho
lic symbols being carried openly in
a public act of devotion, Manchester
has its annual Catholic procession,
while in the archiepiscopal city of
Birmingham one of the most splen
did pagents ever seen in that city
is the procession of the relics oT
Saint Chad.
But these processions are probably
more frequent in London where, on
the whole, there is never any sort of
attempt at interference. The South
Lc ndon parish of Walworth, in the
Southwark diocese, is very rich in
memories of the English Martyrs,
and a procesion that was organized
through the parish a few days ago
METHODISTS PUBLISH
PROGRAM OF N. C. W. C.
passed by some of the spots that
have been hallowed by the suffer
ings of the Martyrs. Altars erected
on the streets, and flags and flow
ers mustered on the spot where the
Walworth Martyrs, died, with open
reverence paid to the passing statue
of the blessed Virgin, are the signs
of a spirit of religious tolerance far
removed from that of the bitter
times when the citizens of Wal
worth were cast into prison for no
other crime than that of professing
the Catholic religion.
IRISH PROCESSION
In one of the northern London sur-
burbs there is an annual religious
procession that attracts Catholics
from all parts of the Metropolis.
With the band of the Irish Pipers,
and religious tableaux representing
the Mysteries of the Rosary, this
famous parochial procession, which
was held last Sunday, was watched
with reverence by vast crowds of
persons who have no more than
this passing acquaintance with the
Catholic relation.
London’s Cathedral of the East
End, as the great Irish church of
St. Micheal and All Angels at Step
ney is called, is also the starting
place of one of the most magnifi
cent Catholic processions ever seen
in London. Each year a procession
starts out from this church, joined
in by thousands or Catholics, the
majority of them Irish, and the
drab streets of tills crowded in
dustrial district sees, for one day
in the year at least, a little of beau
ty and color. The procession at
this church, organized last year in
honor of the Beatification of Blessed
Oliver Plunket, was the greatest
public demonstration in England in
honor of the new Beatus.
Washington—'The Methodist
Federation for Social Service, New
York, under the direction of the
Rev. Harry F. Ward, has given
over the entire last issue of its
Bulletin to an account of the
labor program of the Social Ac
tion Department of the National
Catholic Welfare Council. The
bulletin comes out monthly and
n its late issue quotes extensively
from the Bishops’ program, the
Sishops’ pastoral letter, Pope Leo
Sill’s encyclical on labor, from
the news service of the socal ac
tion department, from its publi-
;ation “Aids to Social Study’
Clubs,” and from the letters of
Pope Pius X and Pope Benedict
XV. Besides outlining the gen-
;ral program of the department,
t has given special attention to
he department’s attitude on wage
•eduction, open shop, freedom of
tontract, relation between the
rich and poor, co-operation and
;o-partnersliip.

public appearance since his recent
illness, and perhaps his only public
appearance while abroad, will be in
Dublin, where in accordance made
two years ago, he will sing for the
benefit of the Mater Hospital, the
principal Catholic hospital in this
city.

yet been set, Mr. McCormack expects
to visit Athlonc, where he hopes to
meet the Most Rev. Michael J. Curley,
Archbishop of Baltimore, who is ex
pected in Ireland next month.
Mr. McCormack is now domiciled
at Nctlierwell Manor, Glouchcster,
England, which has been placed at
his disposal by the Misses Scott,
through whose influence he secured
his first engagement at Convent Gar
den. Following his visit to Ireland
he will go to Carlsbtn. He has an
nounced Ills intention of making an
other and longer visit in Ireland
prior to his return to the United
States in September.

CANADIAN PRIEST IS
OLDEST IN THE WORLD
Toronto.—For a long time, the
oldest priest in the world was
Father Damase Dandurand, 0. M.
I., who died at the age of 103
on April 13, 1921, at Saint-Boni-
facc, Canada.
• At the present time, the oldest
priest in the world is said to be
another Oblate of Mary Immacu
late, Father Constant Chouvancl,

France seventy years ago, before
the construction of the Suez Can

Father Chouvanel is now 97
years old. He says Mass regular
ly, still preaches, and never fails

Washington,-D. C.—The severance
of the Angelican Church in India
from the Church of England is fore
shadowed by the approval of a pre
liminary draft of the “Indian Church
Measure” at a congress of Angelican
bishops and clergymen recently held
in Calcutta, according to advices
received here.
Under the measure, the Angelican
Church in India will cease “to be
subject to the general superinten
dence and revision of the Arch
bishop of Canterbury;” refuses all
appointments by His Majesty, in vir
tue of any existing right of pat
ronage, to any ecclesiastical office;
replaces every ecclesiastical corpor
ation of the Church of England in
India by its own Synodical Govern
ment and fbregoes every esslesifts-
tical salary, allowance and payment
out of State revenue.
Twenty Anglican bishops attend
ed the Congress. The publication
of the Indian Church Measure, a
document marked “private and con
fidential,” has raised vigorous pro
tests, it is understood, a strong
body of opinion among the Angli
can laity in India resenting separa
tion from the See of Canterbury.
Chicago.—Three priests in the Chi
cago Archdiicese have been' raised
to the monsignor within the week
by Pope Pius XI. Announcements
were made by cable to the Archbish
op Mundelein on whose recommen
dation the priests were honored.
Following the announcement last
week of the elevation of Dr. Francis
A. Purcell, head of the Guiglcy Me
morial Preparatory Seminary to be
a monsignor as a reward for his work
for Catholic education the following
similar honors were announced:
Rev. P. W. Dunne, brother of Rev.
I). J. Dunne, I). D. Chancellor of the
Archdiocese. Father Dunne has been
pastor for a number of years of St.
James’ Church, founded year ago by
his cousin, the late Archbishop Rior-
dan, San Francisco.
Rev. Thomas Bona, pastor of St.
Mary of Perpetual Help Church and
head of the Big Brother Department
of the Holy Name Society. Father
Bona’s appointment came on the
occasion of the 15th anniversary of
his ordination.
MONSIGNOR EVANS HONORED.
New York.—The fortieth anniver
sary of the ordination of the Right
Rev. Monsignor Luke Evers, founder
of the night workers’ mass and one
of the best known Catholic priests
in the United States, was celebrated
in St. Andrew’s Church at Duane sire
and City Hall Place, of which he is
pastor. Monsignor Evens will this
year celebrate the twenty-fifth an
niversary of his appointment as rec
tor of St. Andrew’s. He is a gradu

London.—The cause of the beauti
fication of Mary Queen of Scots
Was discussed recently at a meet
ing of Edinburgh Catholics by the
Very Rev. Canon Stuart, Adminis
trator of the Edinburgh Cathedral.
The canon declared that while he
admired the great work of Father
J. Pollen in connection with the
Cause for the Beatification of the
Scottish Martyrs, he bore him a
strong grudge for omitting the name
of Mary.
Englishmen, he said, had never
understood the conditions of af
fairs in Scotland at that time;
Mary’s task was a terrible one, that
of a mere slip of a girl who was
surrounded by nobles ■who were un
mitigated rascals.
“Maiy’s ease,” he concluded, “is
a very clear one and it is a great
pity that it was being neglected.”
DIVORCE IN ARGENTINA?
Buenos Aires.—The announcement
in the daily newspapers that Dr.
Lcopoldo Bard, national deputy for
the Capital, will introduce a divorce
bill at the coming session of the
Congress has aroused the attention
of Catholics, who are not unmindful
of the evils of divorce as witnessed
in the United States, England and
