Priest in China, Dies After
Mailing Story to N. C. W. C.
(Continued from Page One)
this week is greatly appreciated, and
if satisfactory to you we will be
looking for you. The same arrange
ments will hold good for this week
en d—you to use my stateroom for
confessions from 4 o’clock on Sat
urday, and to remain aboard Satur
day night, with an 8:30 service on
Sunday morning.’
“During the week Father Cohill
came aboard the “Huron” and min
gled freely with the men and offic
ers, reminding the Catholics of the
opportunity to hear Mass aboard the
vessel and of receiving the Sacra
ments. That Father Cohill’s per
sonal exhortation was of much bene
fit may be gathered from another
letter of Ghaplain Kirkpatrick to the
missionary in which he writes:
‘“Your personal interest in com
ing out several times during the
week and in getting acquainted thus
with individuals so that you might
remind them of their duties to the
Church has been productive of much
good.
“‘I hope that you’ll always-come
aboard when you find the “Huron”
near you, and I feel sure that the
commanding officer of any of our
ships will welcome you at any time.’
“During both Masses, hymns were
played by the Huron band, compos
ed of Filipino Catholics.
‘Special regulations govern the
ship during the time that the
Church Pennant is flying from the
masthead. The Pennant itself is
hoisted to a position—above the
Stars and Stripes—that is accorded
to the flag of no nation no matter
how friendly, to be pennant of no
captain nor admiral even on his own
ship, and not even to the flag or
pennant of the President of the
United States if he should be aboard
the ship during the time of church
service.
“As long as the Church Pennant
remains hoisted, no smoking is per
mitted on the vessel, and a special
silence is observed.”

President Fixes Site For
Memorial to Missionary
Washington, D. C.—By a
presidential proclamation a site
on the Fort Niagara Military
Reservation has been set aside
for the erection of a cross com
memorative of the work of the
Rev. Pierre Millet, an early Jes
uit missionary to the Indians
of that region. The cross is to
be erected by the Knights of
Columbus. The heroic labors of
the missionary are recorded in
the formal legal language of the
proclamation as follows:
“Whereas, Father Millet, a French
Jesuit Priest, who came to Canada—
then known as New France—in
1G7, and who served about 15 years
as a missionary among the Onon
daga and Oneida Indians within
what is now the state of New York,
and Subsequently became a chap
lain in the French colonial forces,
first at Fort Frontenac and later
at Fort Niagara, did, on Good Fri
day, 1688, erect and dedicate a
cross on what is now the Fort
Niagara Military reseravtiou; and
the Knights of Columbus of the
Sixth New York district, have re
quested that a suitable site be set
apart thereon for the erection of
another cross commemorative of the
cross erected and blessed by Fa
ther Millet.
“Now, therefore, I. Calvin Coo-
lidge, President of the United States
of America . . . do hereby reserve
as a site for the said monument
the following described parcel of
land situated within the limits of
the military reservation of Fort Ni
agara, New York, and do hereby de
clare and proclaim the same to be
a national monument to commemo
rate the cross erected and dedicat
ed at Fort Niagara by Father Mil
let on Good Friday, 1688.”
Eight Days of Prayer For
Catholic Unity Scheduled
On the Feast of the Chair of Pe
ter at Rome, January 18th, will be
gin the Octave of Prayer lor Chur
ch Unity, ending on the Feast of the
Conversion of St. Paul, January 25th.
Ten years ago Pope Benedict XV
extended the Observance of this
Octave to the Universal Church,
and every year it is more generally
observe* turoughout the world.
The institution by Pope Pius XI,
of the new Feast of’ the iiingodrii
of Christ makes this Octave all
the more important, because ac
cording to the prayer of Our Bless
ed Lord on the night of His be
trayal, the triumph of His Kingdom
throughout llie world is contingent
upon the Unity of His Disciples.
Addressing the Father Jesus said:
“1 pray that all who believe in
Me may be one, as Thou, Father, in
Me, and I in Thee; that they also
may he one in us, that llie world
may believe (hat Thou hast sent
Me.”
Over two hundred Bishops from
every part of the Catholic Church
last year addressed a Petition to
the Holy Father to confirm the Brief
of Pope Benedict XV, by a Decree
ordering the Observance of the Oc
tave everywhere in Catholic Chris
tendom in the same way that Pope
Leo XIII, ordered the Rosary to be
said and the Prayer of St.'Joseph
daily during the month of October.
Now that the New Feast of the
Kingdom of Christ has been inau
gurated, it is believed that the ma
jority of the Bishops of the World
will add their signatures to this
Petition. Already the Bishops of
the United States and those of the
Provinces of Toronto and Kingston,
Canada, by corporate action, have
decreed the Observance of the
tave in ail Dioceses under their
jurisdiction.
Georgia and Lynching
Joseph Quinn in “The Wide
Horizon”
The Catholic Bulletin, Augusta,
says: "We Georgia Catholics do not
need missionaries to teach us that
lynching is wrong.”
As a usual thing a lynching oc
curs in a rural district or small
town. And there are more rural
districts in the south than in the
north. The northerners crowd to
gether in cities where jail walls are
high, wide and bulky. Storming a
big city jail to get out a culprit is
a dangerous proceding. As a rule
a mob clings together until the
first shot in its direction when il
becomes less cohesive. In country
districts the law is a one-man af
fair and the sheriff soon becomes
powerless after the crowd gets the
idea into its head of ramming the
jail door.
Statistics every once in a while
show that lynching is dyjng out.
But lynching like murder will go on,
probably growing at times and di
minishing at others. Stronger jails
will help but educating the people
into seeing that it is wrong will go
further still. But the spirit of the
mob is present in every state. It is
no greater in Alabama than it is in
Maine, but there arc more cases that
bring it to the surface. Lynching
is murder by a number of men
chained together by infuriated pas
sion. Southern editors are driving
hard to root out the evil by show
ing its wrong. But for northern edi
tors to suggest the sending of mis
sionaries to Georgia is the height of
absurdity. The killing of a negro by
a mob is tragic, but the picture of
men killing off each other individ
ually in northern cities is no less
attractive. Choosing, between gang
sters who care, not for the law and
a mob that takes the law into its
hands is a choice between evils.
