a question of the faithful doing or
not doing a thing commanded by

By MSGR. ENRICO PUCCI,
(Rome Correspondent, N. C. W
News Service).
Rome.—Pope Pius expressed warm
felicitations over the increase in the
economic prospertiy of the United
States, and deep satisfatcion over
the proportionate increase in the
support of charitable and apostolic
work by the Catholics of America,
in the course of the long audience
recently accorded the Rt. Rev. Msgr;
William Quinn, National Director in
the Untied Skates of the Society for
the Propagation of the Faith.
Monsignor Quinn had just attend
ed the annual meeting of the Coun
cil of the world Society, at which
subscriptions of 41,000,000 Italian
lire had been reported for the year
1925, an increase of 2,000,000 over
the amount for the proceeding year.
He brought with him the contribu
tion from the. United States, amount
ing to $900,000, which was an in
crease of 40 per cent over the total
for the year previous The United
States contribution represented hall
the total amount collected through
out the world for the Propagation
of the Faith.
His Holiness inquired minutely
of Monsignor Quinn concerning de
velopmcnts of the Society of Ameri
ca, and demonstrated that he was
thoroughly familiar with the work
there. At ter felicitating the Catho
lics of the United States upon the
increased subscription for the
spread of the Faith, aud assuring
both them and Monsignor. Quinn of
his great benevolence, he rioted some
of thd individual-offerings from the
United States. Picking out that ol
the distant mission of Alaska, and
that of the State of Arizona, he de
clared that these are subjects for
the greatest edification and consola
tion, coming as they do from poor
and desolate missions and districts
where the Church is most restricted
“ His Holiness also expressed pleas
lire at the great development of the
Society’s work in some of the large!
centers, noting particularly New
York, Boston, Chicago and Newark.
The Holy Father spoke of the ne
cessity to intensify and complete
the organization. He expressed sat
isfaetion with the results obtained
through the appointment of diocesan
directors in almost all the dioceses
of the United States.

st Louis University Plans
$350,000 Gymnasium
(By N. C. W C. News Service.)
St. Louis—St. Louis University is
erecting at a cost of approximately
$350,000 a gymnasium which will be
modern and complete in every way.
The building will be completed and
furnished by the late summer but
will probably be available for com
mencement exercises this June, ac
cording to Father Theodore J
Schulte, S. J., Dean of Men of the
University.
The gymnasium fund was started
a year ago by enthusiastic studerils
each of whom donated ten dollars
to the cause. Other contributions
from alumni and friends swelled
this amount. It is expected that
athletics will more than support the
“gym” after it is completed, for the
seating capacity alone for basket
ball events is 3000. Other features
are smoking room, ladies’ rooms,
billiard rooms, locker rooms, cafe
teria, swimming pool, handball
courts, bowling alleys aud dancing
floor.
(Special to The Bulletin.)
Belmont, N. C.—The Community
of tlie Sisters of Mercy suffertrd a
very great, shock when a message
Hashed over the wire from New Or
leans, brought tlie news of the sud
den death during the night of April
16 of Sister Mary Frances.
On the previous Wednesday the
deceased religious left Belmont for
New Orleans, accompanied by ano
ther member of the Community, to
visit ter only remaining sister who
is in failing health aud whose home
is in that city. Sister Frances
seemed perfectly well and looked
even brighter and liappier than us
ual, being much elated over her trip
and at the prospect of seeing her
sister after many years of separa
tion.
New Orleans was reached' safely,
die expressing her satisfaction that
she felt none of the usual effects of
the long trip. Later in the day she
visited her sister and each eujoyed
the pleasure of seeing the other.
During the early morning of Sat
urday the Sister who occupied the
same room with Sister Frances was
awakened by hearing her cough, and
fearing that she was taking cold
from an open window, arose and
went to her, when it was found that
she was suffering from a heart at
tack and before medical ai<r could
be summoned she had passed away
Sister Mary Frances, who was
known in the world as Miss Eliza
beth Connor, was the daughter of
the late David and Mary (Groves)
Connor, and sister of the late wide
ly-known and much respected Judge
Henry G. Connor. She was born in
St. Augustine, Florida, but spent
her childhood and girlhood in Wil
mington, N. C., to which city her
parents moved soon after her
birth.
She entered the Community of tttt
Sisters of Mercy of North Carolina
arid there passed thirty-eight years
of active and faithful service for
God and her neighbor. Her rare
charm of manner and her amiable
disposition won for her the love and
confidence of all those with whom
she came in contact. As a teacher,
her kindness was the key to the
hearts of her pupils, and men, now
grown gray,., remember the gentle
Sister Frances of their school life,
and she still lives in their memo
ry to call forth noble thoughts and
high ideals.
Among her Sisters in religion she
was ever held in the warmest aff'ec
tion and her life was an inspiration
to all who knew her and who had
the privilege of her friendship The
body was brought from New Or
leans and reached Belmont on Sun
day morning whence it was convey
ed to the Convent where it lay in
state in the chapel. Visitors came
and went all day, and each as they
viewed the remains, had some
kindly memory to recall of the
dear, saintly Sister.
On Monday at 10 o’clock it was re
moved to the Abbey Church where
solemn High Mass of Requiem was
offered for the repose of her soul.
Before the absolution was given the
Right Reverend Abbot Vincent, O. S.
B, D. D., Abbot-Ordinary” of Bel
mont, spoke in beautiful touching
words of the life and character of
the deceased religious, pointing out
lie sacrifice she made years ago
of home, loved ones, and the society
which her education and accom
plishments were so well fitted to
adorn, to work for the glory of
God and the betterment of those
whom her influences might reach.
At the close of the Father Abbot’s
remarks the funeral procession
formed outside the cburch and pass
ed on to the Sisters’ lot in the Ab
bey cemetery, where all that was
mortal of the beloved Sister Fran
ces was laid to rest.
Among the relatives and friends
who came to be present at the last
sad rites were Mercer Connor of
Anniston, Ala, brother of Sister
Frances; Judge George W. Connor,
H. G Connor, Jr, and Mr. Harvey
McNair, of Wilson, N. C„ nephews.

Bridgeport, Conn.— Cardinal
Mundcloin’s touching plan of a
million communions on. the first
day of the Eucharistic Congress
at Chicago in June has elicited a
magnificent echo in far-off Ilnn-
gary, according to word received
here by Father Stephen F. Cher-
nitzky, pastor of St. Stephen’s
Hungarian Church.
Catholics of Hungary, accord
ing to this information, have de
cided upon no less a feat than
the offering of another million
Communions in their own coun
try for the success of the Con
gress at Chicago.
This action of au ancient Cath
olic country is particularly
touching as an effort to partici
pate in the Congress though
few from Hungary can actually
attend. Only five members of
the Hungarian heirarchy, headed
by Cardinal Primate Csernoch,
will come, in company with a
small group of clergy and lay
men.
