aymen’s Retreat Applications
ndicate a Record Attendance
pwice as Many Men Expected at Augusta as There Were
Last Year at Macon—Women Threaten to Exceed Men
in Number at Their Initial Retreat.
Augusta, Ga.—Only a few more
iys remain before the opening of
llie retreat for men at Sacred Heart
College, Augusta, and indications
Jhus far indicate that the twenty
Ivho made the retreat last year in
paeon will have their number dou
bled this year. The manner in
Well the applications for the wo-
jhen’s retreat at Macon, August 22
In 25, are coming in indicates that
Ihey will run the men a race for
honors in the number of attendance
Ibis year, and will break the record
k't by the men last year for their
Ijiriginal retreat.
The men’s retreat opens next
Thursday evening, August 17, at 7
j’clock. After supper at Sacred
[cart College, the first exercises of
|e retreat will be conducted by Rev.
Jilliam A. Carey, S. J„ of New Or-
1ns. From that time to the end
the retreat after Mass and break-
|t Sunday morning, the men will
Win at Sacred Heart College. The
It exercise will be over at about
jo’clock, giving the men a chance
get the morning trains to At-
ta, .Macon, Athens and other cities
In* the Georgia Railroad, enabling
Lliern to arrive home in the after-
lioon. The Savannah retreatants
fiay leave on an early afternoon
rain.
The Sacred Heart College is well
idapted for retreat purposes. Re-
bcatly twenty young men, scholas
tics of the Society of Jesus, left the
College for Washington and I.ouisi-
»na, after spending some time there.
The retreat exercises will be con
flicted by Rev. Thomas A. Carey, S.
., of New Orleans, one of the most
brilliant pulpit orators in the South,
[ather Carey has had wide experi
ence in retreat work and there arc-
places in the Southern province
Rich do not know his eloquence,
|iis scholarship and his. great quali
fies of spiritual leadership. The
retreat was fortunate last year in
having Father McCreary to direct it
|i’hose who know Father Carey are
lositive in asserting that this year’s
[•etreat is equally fortunate.
The Women’s Retreat.
The women’s retreat will be held
t Mount de Sales Academy, Macon,
pening Tuesday evening, August 22
knd closing Friday morning, August
15. The applications for the wo-
nen’s retreat are as numerous as
hose for the men: Father Carey
ill also conduct the women’s re-
reat. The exercises will open Tues-
ay evening after supper, when the
nitial instruction will be given and
he retreat program announced,
.even o’clock in the evening is the
ne set for the arrival of the re-
reatants.
The women arc particularly for
tunate in their retreat house. They
have the spacious grounds of Mount
1c Sales, one of the show places of
Macon, for their meditation walks,
{’he grounds are cool, shady and
beautiful, all of which helps toward
making a retreat a success. The
women who make the retreat will
occupy rooms in the Academy build-
ng, and dine there as well.
There is no 'stated charge for
either retreat. The expenses of
he retreat master’s trip to Georgia
ind of the meals and lodging fur
nished the retreatants will be met
by private donations by the retreat
ants. It is not too late to register
for the retret now, but it is neces
sary to act at once in order that a
definite number be provided for. In
another part of this issue appears
a retreat application form. Those
wishing to make the retreat should
fill it out and mail it to the Rerleat
Chairman, Catholic Laymen’s Asso
ciation of Georgia, 409 Herald Build
ing, Augusta, Ga., today.
Significance of
Degree Given to
Cardinal Bourne
The Photogravure Section of a
number of our Sunday papers re
cently published a picture, showing
the dignitaries and scholars, on
whom Oxford was to confer honor
ary degrees, on their way to the Cere
monies of that occasion. In the fore
ground could be seen, not alone Ex-
President Taft, but also the Cardinal
Archbishop of Westminster. None
of the papers, however, brought out
the fact that the honor done to Car
dinal Bourne at Oxford is a very re
markable sign of the times. That
University has conferred honorary
degrees upon Catholic prelates be
fore—preferably non-British Catho
lic prelates—but always, the London
Universe believes, for reasons do
mestic to a home of scholarship and
science. The Doctorate of Civil
Law, conferred in this instance, is
quite a different matter, we are in
formed by our Brtisli contemporary.
“It is a show degree, writes the
Universe,” very rarely given to non-
Oxonians, and then specifically as a
tribute for exceptional public serv
ices rendered to humanity or the
nation by statesmen, great leaders
of thought and their like.” In this
case the honor was spontaneously
suggested by the head of a famous
Oxford college, and as eagerly adopt
ed by the University; no Catholic
had a hand in it, and indeed it came
as a complete and gratifying sur
prise to the Catholics both of the
University and of the country at
large.
The London weekly furthermore,
adds, by way of comment “What
was not offered to one of the great
est Englishmen of his day and a
Fellow of Merton—Cardinal Man
ning— has now been spontaneously
bestowed upon one who has no
claims upon the University save
those that arise from eminent per
sonal servide to the whole nation—
and from the Sacred purple.”

BURIAL PLACE CHOSEN
BY CARDINAL BOURNE
London.— Cardinal Bourne's
burial place, prepared" under his
own direction, is to be a vault in
front of the altar of the galilee
(porch chapel) which he gave to
St. Edmund’s College, at Odd
Hall, near Ware, Hartfordshire,
about two years ago. Galileos
are features of some of the an
cient Cathedrals of England, not
ably of that of Durham.
The increase in the attendance
at St. Edmund’s College required
an enlargement of the chapel.
This had to be done without im
pairing the original architecture,
which is among the best work
of Augustus Welby Pugin, whose
fame is preserved in five of the
Catholic Cathedrals and in many
parish churches and secular
buildings of England and Ireland.
The galilee presented by His
Eminence is built of white stone
Its nave has four bays and a tran
sept. Eleven fine windows light
the chapel. The work has been
done so carefully that two years
have been needed for its comple
tion.
Origin of Democracy
“As to capitalism,” says The Cath
olic Herald of India, “It is well
known that it is a post Reformation
development, as medieval industry
was ruled by the guilds, a perfect
ly democratic institution.
“As a matter of fact, the origin of
modern democracy is exclusively ec
clesiastical and Catholic, and ‘the
whole process,’ writes Professor
Rahilly, ‘by which democracy is
smuggled into history books as an
acquisition of the Reformation, es
pecially English Reformation, is a
combination of flippancy and bigo
try.’ In the middle ages, the only
representative assembles were the
ecclesiastical councils and chapters,
which were attended by the laity
as well as by the clergy. In .989
the Council of Charrou was attended
by ‘the faithful of both sexes,’ the
Council of Clermont (1095) was at
tended by ‘laymen of different coun
tries.’ The modern commune was a
diocesan association, and even the
House of Commons had an ecclcsias
tical origin.”

A supersition which once prevail
ed merely among poker players has
now according to an evening paper,
become national. It is the super
stition of the “unlucky two-dollar
bill.” When tendered a $10 bill for
a small purches a cigar store clerk
said apoligetically, “I’ll have to give
you a $2 bill with your change.”
Whereupon, the story continues, the
customer found some small coins
and bought cheaper cigarettes to the
amout of his loose wealth. Of course
there is nothing in the superstition,
but if anyone has any lingering
doubts about the matter they might
send their $2 bills along to Magr.
Kelley for his Missionary Dollar
Club (180 N. Wabash Ave., Chicago).
That should take the curse off them.
