PARIS AUTHOR DELETED
GOD’S NAME—FINED
Professor who Changed Quo
tations to Omit Religious
References Punished.
' • ■ By M. MASSIANI
(Paris Correspondent, N. C, W. C.
News Service)
Paris,—A very unusual law suit
recently has come before the Paris
civil court. The author of a chil
dren’s school reader was fined 2 000
francs for having suppressed the
name of God in all the texts quoted
by him in the book.
Tlie defendant, M. Bouillot, pro
fessor in a Paris lycee and presi
dent of the Federation of Professors
of Elementary Lycee Classes, is the
author of several works in general
use in the primary schools. When
he decided to Include in it some
passages from the works of Francis
Jammes, the delightful Catholic
poet. He asked the author’s per
mission to use the two chapters on
“Charity” and “Hope” from a book
by Jammes called “Le Bon Dicu
chez les Enfants.”
M. Jammes granted the desired
permission. But imagine his sur
prise, when he opened M. Bouillot’s
reader, to find that the titles
“Charity” and “Hope” had been ex
changed. for “Two Orphans'’ and
“The Good Little Girl.” In the
chapter on “Charity,” M. Francis
Jammes had told of Saint Vincent
de Paul who saved so many poor,
homeless children. In M, Bouillot’s
book Saint Vincent de Paul had be
come “a good workman.” In the
description of Saint Vincent de
Paul's room, M. Jammes had men
tioned a crucifix and a statue of
the Blessed Virgin. M. Bouillot
eliminated these symbols entirely.
ORTHODOX SLAVS
To Discuss Union With An
glicans at Council.
(By N. C. W, C. News Service)
Vienna—Proposed union with the
Anglican church will be the prime
topic for discussion at the Ecumeni
cal council of the Orthodox Pravo-
Slav churches called to meet in
Jerusalem next Whitsuntide. The
Pravo-Slav churches are those Or
thodox bodies which use the ancient
Slavic language in their rituals.
The idea of an Orthodox-Anglican
rapproachemcnt is one that has
been industriously promoted for
several years past without, apparent
ly, any tangible results. There is
no available evidence for anticipat
ing that t-here will be any results
at the forthcoming council at
Jerusalem but the topic, neverthe
less, remains one of interest.
Possibilities Not Promising
Possibilities of a union with
Anglicanism are decreased by the
opposition of the Serbian Pravo-
Slav church to the effort which is
being made to unite the Anglican
church with the so-called National
Church of Czechoslovakia.

Methodist Pastor Would Have
Protestants Emulate Catholics
Bishop Chaplain Major
Rt. Rev. J. A. Griffin of
Springfield, Commissioned.
PROPOSE BEATIFICATION
OF AMERICAN MARTYRS
Hemstead, N. Y., Minister in Sermon Compliments Catholic
Attendance at Church Services, Religious Education,
Reverence for Clergy-and Other Things Catholic.
(By N. C. W. C. News Service.)
Hempstead, N. Y.—Speaking on
“Ways in which Roman Catholics
Shame Protestants,” the Rev. Arthur
A. Bouton, pastor of the Methodist
church here, contrasted the active
participation of Catholics in the wor
ship of their church with the com
paratively small percentage of Pro
testants, who, Dr. Bouton said, take
part in active manifestations of
their religion. Excerpts from Ms
sermon follow:
“I have seen thousands of people
pouring into the Catholic churches
early in the morning, later com
ing out, and thousands more going
in to worship, while in our Protest-
ane churches we find scattered mem
bers here and there. That makes
me wonder, why so many there and
so few here? Why can’t we get
that spirit of loyalty?
“The Catholics have a saying, so
we hear, that after a child is six
years old brought up in their church,
nobody can turn that child into
any other belief. Can we say that?
Why you could make a Mohammedan
out of some six-year old children
in Mur church. One time I question
ed a Catholic child of six years and
was surprised at what she had learn
ed. Another time I asked an eight-
year old Protestant girl who Jesus
Christ was apd she looked sur
prised and said she didn’t know
“That isn’t the child’s fault, but
it is the fault of the parents. Some
day some of these parents may see
their children with lost faith, lost
virtue, or lost honor and will wonder
why it happened. Well, if anybody
tells them the answer here, God will
when they go to glory.
“It’s a sin the way some Protestant
lie down on the job. They let a
few do all the church work and the
women are doing most of it. Too
many of our members are allowing
others to support the church. It
is time the Protestants woke up . . .
“The Catholics ‘tip’ their hats to
their priests and before their
churches, showing their reverence.
“Too many Protestant pastors
preach what the people want to hear
instead of what the people should
hear. It is too easy for a disgruntled
set to have a preacher replaced. The
Catholic priest is ‘Father’ to his
people. I wish that the Protestant
ministers had more power. Protes
tants may well pattern after some
of these things, and cease petty
criticisms and chickerings.”
During his sermon Dr. Bouton
asked if any one present, including
any member of the Ku Klux Klan,
could disagree with him. He receiv
ed no answer.
Child Labor Defense
Of Rev. Dr. Ryan Chosen As
Model of Rhetoric.
(By N. G. W. C. News Service.!
Washington—A pamphlet wr'tten
by the Rev. Dr. John A. Ryan direc
tor qf the Department of Social Act
ion, N. C. W. C, on “The Proposed
Child Labor Amendment ’ has been
selected as a model of argument rhe
toric, the Department here has been
informed.
Dr. Ryan’s permission has been
asked by Prof. John R, Salter, of the
English Department of the Univer
sity of Rochester, to use his work in
a college textbook Professor Slater is
prepar ng. The author of the book
writes:
“Your pamphlet on ‘The Proposed
Child Labor Amendment’ published
by the National Child Labor Com
mittee is so able and impressive a
defense of this measure that I should
like with your permission to reprint
it ,in whole or in part, as an example
of argumentative discourse, in a new
edition of my textbook of college
rhetoric. It would there appear side
by side with Senator Wadsworth’s
speech against the amendment, and
students could compare for them
selves the charges and refutation
thereof.”
The pamphlet is a fifteen-page
monograph which is be’ng distri
buted by the Child Labor Committee
from its New York Office. It reviews
the case for the amendment and pre
sents the arguments in refutation of
charges made by its opponents.
Michigan State Senate
Adopts Liberal and Compre
hensive Prayer Plan.
(By N. C. W. C. News Service)
Lansing, Mich. — The Michigan
state senate, opening its session
here, has passed a resolution pro
viding that the opening prayers at
its sittings shall be said by min
isters of the various faiths. The
resolution, introduced by Senator
George M. Condon, is as follows:
“Resolved, that the pastors of the
several churches in the city of
Lansing and other cities be invited
to conduct appropriate religious
services at the opening of the daily
sessions of the senate.”
This plan differs from that of
most state legislatures, where a
single chaplain is designated. Both
the senate and house of the Michi
gan legislature have been following
the plan and Catholic priests have
several times offered the prayers.

It has now become known that it
was the magnate, who owned a great
estate nearby, who bought chimes
for the little edifice and coal that
it might be heated in winter.
With this information comes to
light the story of how, when the
venerable priest who w s pastor of
the church fell ill of pneumonia, Mr.
Reid plucked him from his humble
surroundings, placed him on a spec
ial train, staffed the train with phy-
sicia j, And nurses and sent him to

Eight Jesuit Missionaries
Who Died for Faith Being
Considered for Honor.
(By N. C. W. C. News Service)
New York.—Attention has been
called here to the fact that several
publications, notably one in this
city, have printed accounts in which
it was asserted or inferred that only
five Jesuit missionary martyrs of
North American are now being con
sidered at Rome for beatification.
It is emphasized that the number is
eight, five of whom are commonly
regarded as missionaries to Canada,
since it was there their deaths took
place, but three of whom suffered
snartyrdom in territory now within
the United States.
The five Candian martyrs are
Fathers Jean de Breuf, Gabriel Lale-
mant, Antoine Daniel, Noel Chabanel
and Charles Gamier, who, after un
dergoing terrible hardships and con
verting many of the American sav
ages, were one by one martyred as
they zealously continued their apos-
tolate.
The three other Jesuit missio
naries, who performed equally her
oic deaths in territory now within
the United States, are Father Isaac
Jogues, Rene Goupil and Jean La-
lande.
Father Jogues was the first Cath
olic priest ever to come to Manhat
tan Island. He was captured by the
Iroquois lifter a notable apostolate
of hardship, near Lake George, Os-
sernenon, in the present state of
New York. Bancroft said of him
that he was one of the two first
missionaries to preach the Gospel
1 000 miles in the interior of Amer
ica.
Goupil, though prevented by his
health from becoming a Jesuit
priest, nevertheless served with the
Jesuit missionaries, and became the
constant companion and disciple of
Father Jogues. He was the first of
the Jesuit order in the Canadian
missions to suffer martyrdom. He
was finally killed in New York, in
1642, after many days of indescrib
able torture, because he taught the
Indian children to make the Sign of
the Cross.
Lalande also was a companion of
Jogues, and underwent equal hard
ship with him. He went to his
death with Jogues in 1646, at the
hands of the Indians.
