Asheville—A rare treat was en
joyed March 26 by The students and
faculty of St. Genevieveis when Mon

them' in their native tongue, J( num
ber of the most beautiful songs of
the Middle Ages. Tills charming
couple is touring America with the
desire of spreading the French lan
guage and 'increasing the apprecia
tion of French literature. Both are
■finished artists, in acting as well as
in singing, and are gifted With voic
es far above the commonplace. The
artistic effect of the entertainment
was greatly enhanced by the use of
costumes which in each case har
monized with the spirit of the song
and the age which it represented
M,and Mme. Oil prat were delighted
to find at SL Genevieve's an audi
ence capable of understanding
French with so much ease that it
was not necessary for them to trans
late their interpretations into Eng
lish; .they stated' that this was a
most' unusual experience in their
travels. This is not surprising how
ever, as ihc girls of St. Genevieve’s
have an opportunity which is rare in
American schools, of having.French
'conversation as a part of each day’s
program.
A lively interest has been display
ed in all" athletic activities, there
having been many hard-fought
games of basketball, volley ball, and
baseball. The annual tennis ‘tourna
ments will take place at an early
date. . Each class is making zealous
preparations for Feld Day, which is
set far ihe last week in May.
Recently the Sigma Phi Gamma
Sorortiy gave a benefit bridge party
at the home of Miss Annie Kate
Wells, of Asherillc. The house was
beautifully decorated in jonquils,
thus carrying out in a most atlract-
inve manner the colors of the sor
ority; this color scheme was also
observed in the refreshments, con
sisting of delicious ices and cake. A
large number of guests was pres
ent. Five prizes were awarded, the
first prize, a lovely corsage, was won
by Miss Martini Norburn, of Ashe
ville, who made top score; the sec
ond prize was won by Miss Elizabeth
Otis, of Atlanta. A handsome brass
set was drawn for, and Miss Otis
was again the fortunate one.
Commencement will be the first
week in June, and already the sen
iors ars beginning to experience
the mingled feeling of joy and re
gret that arc a part of graduation
days.

That those provisions are being car
ried out almost exclusively against
Catholics and the Catholic church at
•this time should not blind our fel
low citizens to the fact that they
are in themselves absolute denials
of those principles upon which wc
as Americans believe that just gov
ernment must be founded.
The present government o’f Mexico
won its way to power by revolution,
and has been strengthened in its
hold upon power hv recognition by
our own government of the United
States. Before such recognition was
granted in 1915, the U. S. secretary
of state, Mr. Lansing, at the direc
tion of the United States senate, in
terrogated the then provisional gov
ern menriof Mexico as to whether or
not that government would guaran
tee and provide religious liberty for
4s people. The Mexican govern-
.ment solemnly pledged itself to the
constitution of 1857. On that prom
ise our government^ granted recog-
nition. No sooner was it won than
the. government of Mexico scrapped
the constitution of 1857; declared a
pre-constitutional “period,” and by
military dictatorship forced, not
through popular vote but through
picked ^convention, the constitution
of 1917. The present constitution
of Mexico was imposed on Mexico
by a hand of insurgents at a time
when Mexico was prostrate and when
the rest of the world was at war.
Despite the fact that in 1920 our
government was again forced to sus
pend diplomatic relations with Mex
ico and did not resume them till
1923. the conditions of recognition
established in 1915 were still oblig
atory on Mexico. These conditions,
which underlie all negotiations be
tween civilized governments, were
postulated as premises to the agree
ments which were later on entered
into by both governments.
Wc are amply justified, and not
only justified, but, as is every Amer
ican, obligated, to call upon our
government, therefore that its origi

Pretty Atlanta Marriage
Blessed With Nuptial Mass
(Special to The Bulletin)
Atlanta, Ga.—One of the prettiest
weddings ever solemnized at Sacred
Heart Church was that on May 1 of
Miss Katherine Haverty, daughter of
Mr. James J. Haverty, and Russel
Sylvester Bellman, son of Mr. „g|id
Mrs. John Hutchins Bellman of Lou
isville, Ky, Rev. James A. Horton,
S. M,, pastor of Sacred Heart church,
officiating and celebrating the Nup
tial Mass.
The bride was given in marriage
by her father, with whom she en
tered the church. Mrs.JLon Wood-
fin Grove, sister of the bride ,was
matron of honor, and the bride’s at
tendants were Mrs. Robert 'IV Jones,
Mrs. William Parker. Mrs. John
Knox, Miss Jennie Robinson. Miss
Margaret Nelson and Miss Katherine
Murphy. William Hammond of Lou
isville was best man and the grooms
men were J. J. Haverty, Jr., Es-
monde Brady, Lawton Stevens, Her
man L. Becker of Louisville, Dr. Lon
Woodfiu Groves and William D. Wi-
dau of Pittsburgh. The ushers were
J. Carroll Payne, Clarence Haverty,
Thomas JI. Daniel, Dr. Thomas P.
Hinman, Hunt Chipley, Henry Hoff
man and Hughes Spalding. Little
Misses Mary McGaughcy and Claire
Haverty, nieces of the bride, were
flower girls, and .Tames Claude Hav
erty of Memphis was ring-hearer.
Charles A. Sheldon presided at the
organ, and before the ceremyon Mrs.
Harold Cooledge sang the sweet May-
time hymn, “Bring Flowers of the
Rarest,”
After the ceremony Ihc father of
the bride entertained at a wedding
breakfast at the Haverty home, “Vil
la Claire.” Mr. and Mrs. Bellman
then left-on a wedding trip to Cana
da. They will return to Atlanta Julie
1. Mrs. Bellman is the youngest,
daughter of Mr. James J. Haverty,
leading Atlanta business man and fi
nancier, was educated at Washing
ton Seminary, Notre Dame of Mary
land and ML St. Vincent’s, and is
prominent in Atlanta society. Mr.

Mrs. John Hutchins Bellman of Lou
isville, is an alumnus of Lehigh,

where he served in the aviation
corps. At Lehigh he earned his de
gree in mechanical engineering. Mr.
and Mrs. Bellman will live in Atlan

to Mexico was. granted, be lived up
to by the government of Mexico.
The United States gave recognition
to Mexico on Mexico’s specific prom
ise that it would guarantee religious
liberty to all its citizens. Mexico
has not kept this agreement, but
on the contrary, licr government
has entered upon a definite cam
paign of force to destroy religious
liberty and is intensifying that cam
paign by striking at the roots of
religion—religion eduction.
No American cau view with indif
ference the active propaganda of
principles that are subversive of our
own government; that will, if per
sisted in, embitter our relations with
4iio whole of Latin-Ameriea.
Where religious justice is violat
ed, there cau be no political, no
civic peace.
The situation is so critical that
we call upon our Catholic people
not only to interest themselves as
a body, but to hold meetings with
their non-Catholic brethren that will
voice Hie protest of the public; that
wilt both call upon our own' gov
ernment to use its good offices to
see that justice is restored and that
religious and educational liberty arc,
enjoyed by the people of Mexico.

largest, English-speaking parish
in the country. There »are 400
in the boys’ high school alone,
and ten Brothers of Mary, 33
Sisters, of the Immaculate Heart
of Mary and 16 lay teachers are
required to staff the school. The
present buildings are all filled
beyond their capacity and the
work is handicapped.
Present plans cali for 16

at Ursiine Nans' Chapter
(Special to The Bulletin.)
Wilmington, Dei.—The fourth pro
vincial chapter of the Ursulines of
the Northern Province of the United
States opened here April 4, the
chapter being attended by the pro
vincial officers and by the superior
and oqe additional delegate from the
Ursuline communities in Bedford
Park, New Rochelle, Malone and
Middletown, N. Y., Wilmington, Del..

City, Neb. GreenviJie, S. C., Fronte-
nac. Minn., Great Falls, Mont, and
Santa Rosa Cal. Mother M. Fidelis
of Bedford Park, N. Y, and Mother
M. Xavier of Great Falls, Mont., were
elected to attend the general chap
ter in Rome in August with Very
Rev. Mother Irene, provincial Rev.
Mother M. Olympias of Wilmington
and Rev. Mother M. Frances of San
ta Rosa were named alternates.
The chapter was preceded by a
retreat of eight days given the Mo
ther Superiors by Very Rev. Felix
Kirsch, superior of the Capuchin
College, Washington, D. C. Father
Kirsch emphasized the dangers of
present day society, the fallacies of
the new schools of thought and -fhe
necessity of deepening and intensi
fying the Catholic spirit and Catho
lic loyalty to Church and Country.
Not only in the academy and col
lege do the Uruslines figure. The
Ursuline spirit is distinctly an apos
tolic one, as is shown by its labor
among the Indian 'tribes, in the Chi
nese missions, and among the In-
nuits of Alasjta. The field is a very
wide one, and offers exceptional ad
vantages to vocations of every vari
ety. Being the oldest of the educa
tional orders for women, its history
is a long one. dating from the six
teenth century Its work has re
ceived a splendid impetus since the
organization in J900 of the Roman
Canonical Union*of Ursulines. There
can be no greater security for its
growth and development than its di
rect communication with the Holy
See through .its general officers
whose headquarters arc in the city
