THE BULLETIN OF THE CATHOLIC LAYMEN’S ASSOCIATION OF GEORGIA
IN MEMORIAM
By Mrs. T. G. Brittingham.
Verily a good .and faitlifull ser
vant was found watching and
waiting when came the Master’s
call on the morn of July 24lli
at the home 0/ Or. and Mrs. P. J.
Vaughan in Augusta. The saint
ly mother of this well beloved
couple, also the mother of Mr.
and Mrs. Thomas P. Doris, closed"
her eves in sleep, that blessed
sleep of peace which He alone can
give to the aw'aiting soul whose
work has been done for God and
His children according to the
teaching of our Holy Church.
Mrs. Catherine McN. 0‘Calla-
ghan’s four score years were
spent in the service of her Lord.
“To love God above all things,
and to love her neighbor as her
self” was her rule of life, and
her example has been and inspi
ration to many who knew and
loved her.
Many were the tears of sorrow
when the tidings of her death
were heard. Death could hold
no sting for such a woman as
Mrs. O’Callaghan, but the sting of
earth’s parting was felt in the
hearts of her devoted children
and grand-children. It was to
them, death seemed cruel, and
not to their mother whose “go
ing away” was but here deserved
promotion to a higher and holier
life despite the pall of sorrow
which fell upon these homes of
earth.
Serving at her grave were her
four young grandsons, Thomas P.
Doris, Jr., Bernard, Edward and
Terrence Doris, as altar boys for
the ltev. Father P. A. Ryan, S. J.,
pastor of Sacred Heart Church,
who conducted the funeral serv
ice.
Mr. and Mrs. Patrick O’Calla
ghan were daily communicants
of Sacred Heart for more than
two score years. After his death
a few years ago, she continued
their custom of hearing Mass dai
ly, arising each morning at five
thirty o’clock in order to begin
the day at the Holy Table. No
weather condition ever kept her
away from her place at the feet
of her Saviour.
The unselfish devotion of her
children during her last illness
was inspiring. To them she has
taught the lessons of love and
service to Jesus and His Church
and through them her spiritual
life will be memorialized. She
died as she lived.
“Blessed are the dead who die
in The Lord”.
K. OF C. DEPARTMENT
New President Outlines America’s
Needs In K. of C. Magazine
New York.—A call for more pop
ular culture among the people of
the United States, to offset mater
ialism, is sounded by President
Coolidge in the leading article of
the August issue of Columbia, the
official magazine of the Knights of
Columbus.
“It is only in the spirit of true
humility that there is any approach
to the better things of life. Educa
tion is the process by which each
individual re-creates his own uni
verse and determines its dimensions.
As civilization advances, the need
becomes, not less, but more. The
present industrial methods, with all
their dependence upon invention,
with all their subordination to sci
ence, are yet narrowing rather than
broadening in their effect upon the
general mass of their employees.
The requirement of efficiency has
reduced much of modern industrial
life to a mere mechanical operation.
Under more primitive conditions
this was not the case. Those who

were perhaps entirely untrained in
the schools found ample opportunity
for complete personal expression in
their daily employment.
“The tendency in modern industry
has been to change these conditions
very materially in the direction of
reducing the arts to the position of
a trade. This in no degree detracts
froni the dignity of work, but it has
produced a kind of work which is
very different in its effect on the
development of the individual.
“This whole scheme of things does
not diminish, but enlarges, the re
quirement for a liberal education,
the liberal culture which is taught
in the schools and the maintenance
of the opportunities for broader cul
ture, apart from the trades and vo
cations of livelihood, outside the
schools. The machines of the shops
have a tendency to make machines
of the employees. This must be off
set, it must be met by a counter-
tendency'. There is but one, some
kind of cultural activity.”
DANES WELCOME FIRST
CARDINAL TO COUNTRY
IN FOUR HUNDRED YEARS
Cardinal Van Rossum Finds

table and Position of Danish
Catholics Comfortable.
Copenhagen.—The visit to Den
mark of Cardinal Van Rossum, pre
fect of the propaganda, has been a
matter of pride and joy to all Dan
ish Catholics and is ail event of
unprecedented importance, since this
is the first time in four hundred
years, that is to say, since the so-
called Reformation, that this coun
try has been visited by a prince of
the church.

Mobile, Ala.—Thousands of per
sons attended the second annual
Cascyjoyda festival given under the
auspices of Mobile Council No. G66,
Knights of Columbus, on the
grounds at the intersection of Gov
ernment and New Streets, August
2nd, afternoon and. evening. Imme
diately upon receipt of the official
notice of President Harding’s death
the officials ordered the band to
stop playing and the entertainment,
begun as one of the most gala
events in the history of the local
council, was brought to a hasty and
sad conclusion.
James H. Glenncn, after thanking
the people for their patronage which
made Caseyjoyda an unprecedented
success, made a short and impres
sive talk upon the sudden and un
expected death of the president and
offered prayer while the audience
with bared heads, bowed. Mr. Glcn-
non commented on the calamity to
the country of the untimely end of
its chief executive and said that to
pause with reverence at that time
was benefiting in Americanism.

Also Attends from Georgia.
Augnsta, Ga.—The Southeast is
well represented at the Knights of
Columbus national convention, held
this week in Montreal. One of the
fifteen national directors, the' only-
one in the South, is a Georgian, Capt.
P. H. Rice, K.C.S.G., a member of the
Georgia delegation. State Deputy L.
C. Kunze of Columbus and Past State
Deputy John B. McCallum of Atlanta
complete the Geo gia delegation.
Alabama sends T. J. McCarthy,
state deputy, of Montgomery, and Dr.
W. R. Ward of .Birmingham past
state deputy. The Florida delegates
are State Deputy Ambrose • O Keefe
of Jacksonville and Past State Depu
ty Clarence R. Rogero of St. Augus
tine. Grand Knight M. A. Cordon,
of Charleston and Past State Depu
ty Fred M. Butlman of Columbia are
the South Carolina representatives.
* State Deputy John J. Cosgrove
was not able to make the trip on
account of other duties.
Charles F. Linthicum of'Charlotte,
state deputy, and Warren V. Half,
also of Charlotte, past state deputy,
have gone from North Carolina as
delegates. Mrs. Hall is making the
trip with Mr. Hall. At Rochester, N.
Y, they will be entertained by Dr.
and Mrs. Clifford, formerly of Char-
lotto
in the church of Saint Anscliaire,
following which representatives of
the press of every shade of opin
ion came to solicit an interview.
These press representatives have
been unanimous in praising the
conciliating, modest and dignified
attitude of the Catholic prelate, who
gave as the motive of his visit his
interest in nations which, like Hol
land, have a proper understanding
of liberty and include among the
principles of their high degree of
cuiture that of the most absolute
respect for the rights of the Holy
See and of Catholic minorities.
Chicago, 111., July 28.—A drive to
include every Catholic man in the
archdiocese of Chicago, in the ranks
of the Holy Name Society, has been
inaugurated by the Arclidiocesan
Union, under the direction of Arch
bishop George W. Mundelein, and <
Rt. Rev. Bishop Edward F. Hoban,
spiritual director of the organiza
tion.
August 5 has been designated by
the spiritual directors as Holy Name .
Sunday in all of the Catholic ;
churches. At every Mass in every
church, talks on the Holy Name
work will 75c made, and cards will be
passed about for registering the
names of every male adult of the
parish. It is expected that the Sun
day drive will add 100,000 to the
membership of the Socitcty, which
now has more than 100,000 mem-;
bers in its ranks.
The Chicago Archdioccsan Unioifl*|
is now the second largest in the ■
United States, the 213th parish
branch having been formed at Elm
hurst, a Chicago suburb last Sunday.
This, it is understood, brings the
number of branches to within ten
of those in the archdiocese of New
York.
K, Of C. Foundation
Graduates Twenty-Two
Washington, D. C.—Twenty-two
young men have graduated in post
graduate work from the Catholic
University of America, in Washing
ton, I). C. as scholars of the Knights
of Columbus Foundation establish
ed by the K.'of C. at the request
of the late Cardinal Gibbons and of
the American Hierarchy. The post
graduate sdohlarships are entirely
distinct from the K. of O. scholar
ships granted war veterans in va
rious colleges and universities, and
are based on an endowment fund
of 8500,000 given to the University
by the K. of C.
The students will receive master’s
degrees. They come from seventeen
different States and Canadian Prov-
inchcs. It is expected that a some
what larger number of young men
will receive post graduate courses
under K. of C. endowment scholar
ships for the 1923-1924 school year.
MILLION FOR CATHOLIC SCHOOLS
Providence, R. I.—The $1,000,000
drive for Catholic High Schools -in
the Providence Diocese has resulted
in an over-subscription amounting
to approximately $200,000 with sev
eral local reports still incomplete.
Rishop Hickey has announced that
70,000 persons contributed to the
fund and at least fifty-one parishes
exceeded their allotted quotas, In
the case of the Precious Blood par
ish in Woonsocket, the over-sub
scription amounted .to approximate- 1
ly $25,000. The campaign was dis
tinguished throughout by a spirit
of enthusiasm and friendly rivalry
among the parishes.
As an example of the recognition
given to Catholic minorities by the
government of Denmark, it is inter
esting to note that the Catholic
schools receive government appro
priations in proportion to the num
ber of children of the people who
are educated in these schools. That
the Catholic educational system has
met with favor in Denmark, despite
the fact that it is a Lutheran coun
try, is evidenced by the fact that
the Sisters of St. Joseph, whose
sehool has outgrown its present ac
commodations,. are building a veri-
able “school palace” near the Frcd-
eriksburg Park, and Jhat the num
ber of applications received from
parents who desire to enter iheir
children in this school already ex
ceeds the number of places which
will be available when the new
school is completed. Cardinal Van
Rossum is greatly interested in
Catholic schools, and despite the fa
tigue of his journey, his first visit,
on the evening of the day of his ar
rival, was to the school directed by
the French Ladies of the Assump
tion.
The recognition of the rights of
Catholics dates from the adoption
of the liberal constitution in 1848.
Before that time Catholics were
practically outlaws in Denmark. Now
however, increased interest is being
manifested in the Roman church,
the Roman liturgy and the Encycli
cals and directions of the Roman
Pontiff. It is significant that fol
lowing the appointment of the new
vicar-apostolic of Danmark, Msgr.
Brems, the king immediately bestow
ed "upon him the Order of Danne-
bras, the most highly prized deco
ration in Denmark.
The visit of Cardinal Van Ros
sum has been marred by hut one
jarring note. While passing through
Odense, the ancient Metropolitan
See of Denmark, the Cardinal ex
pressed a desire to pray hefoi'c the
relics of the national hero, Saint
Canut, which are preserved in the
crypt of the Cathedral dedicated to
Saint Alban.
Every tourist is permitted to visit
these relics. However, Pastor Lutz-
lioft, vigilant guardian of a monu
ment confiscated from the Catholic
Church and intrepid defender of the
principles of Luther, refused to per
mit the Cardinal to enter the
crypt.
The entire press of the country,
without a single exception, joined in
the protest made by the Catholics
against the insult thus inflicted on
the representative of the Pope.
