C. W, C. News Service) Cambridge.—There has been a no ticeable decrease in religion at Har vard University since the World War, Julian L. Coolidge, professor of mathematics there, concludes after an investigation into the religious change which has been going on over the last decade, Dr. Coolidge announces his findings in the cur rent number of the Harvard Alumni Bulletin in an article entitled “Some Recent Harvard Religious Statistics.” Taking the first reports handed in by four classes to their secretaries, Professor Coolidge discloses that be tween 1895 and 1922 the percentage of students professing the Episco palian belief hovered betwen 20 and 23 of the total; that the Evangeli cal aderents decreased steadily from 28 to 19 per cent; that the Unita rian percentage dwindled constant ly from 20 to 10; that the Catho lics increased from 4 to 11 per cent between 1895 and 1915, but slumped off to 7 per cent by 1922; that professors of the Jewish faith in- crchsed steadily from 2 to 13 per cent, and that those “not interest ed” gained from 21 to 27 per cent. “The steady growth from .1895 to 1915,” Professor Coolidge says, re ferring to the Catholic statistics, “is entirely what any one conversant with conditions in Massachusetts would expect. The very sharp de cline since then is harder for the outsider to explain. The Catholic colleges are doubtless much stronger now than formerly. There may be oilier reasons known only to those who are familiar with the question from the inside.” EYES EXAMINED Eye Glasses Spectacles j Artificial ^Eves Properly Fitted.

St. Aloysius Not Effeminate But Manly Jesuit Asserts in England Father Martindale Dispels “Pretty Boy” Conception of Youthful Jesuit Saint. (By N. C. W. C. News Service.) London.—A pen picture of St. Aloysius which entirely dispels the “pretty boy” conception of tly.t saint’s personality, is given by ba ther C. C. Martindale, the distin guished Jesuit author, in the cur rent “Month.” Writing on the forthcoming cele bration of the bi-centenary of the canonization of St. Aloysius, Father Martindale says: “So disastrous a misunderstanding of the saint has become general that it were almost possible to say of a boy that he is a Tegular Aloysius,’ in order to convey that he is a prig and a Pharisee. “A priest recently told me that he regarded ‘St. Aloysius’ (that is, the whole mass of what concerns him, as reaches the eye and ear) to be one of the greatest deterrents from vocations. Young meif feared they would be made to imitate one whom they could not even admire sin cerely.” Describing pictures of the saint, Father Martindale says: “We would believe Aloysian art to have been in spired outight by the devil, so di rectly calculated is it to till the av erage young Englishman, at any rate, with loathing. “The drooping, plaintive figure that we know never was his. He may have prostrated himself on altar- step or floor, hut he had a strong backbone, and he did not droop. 1 dont believe he was even graceful. MURPHY STATIONERY CO.

C. W. C. News Service.) London — Viscount Campden, a prominent Catholic, succeeds to the Gainsborough earldom. The new countess is the daughter of Edward Eyre, K.C.S.G, a noted layman who has large American financial inter ests. The new earl is the fourth of the line.

Heroic French Missionary Loses Sight of One Eye— Other Eye Threatened \. V Louvain.—Falher Hilaire Stockey, :i Franciscan Congo missionary, re turned from his missions to Bel gium, to save the one eye still left him, after losing the other in the discharge of the task laid upon him by his superiors. In the hospital which is ordered erected in the colony, four thou sand patients were treated by him in 1924. The numerous infected cases lie had to deal with infected the priest-physician himself and the infection resulted in the loss of one eye and a serious menace to the other. Father Stockey’s superiors recalled him to his native land to have him treated by an oculist and avert total blindness. Bishop Approves Prayer For Mercier Beatification By. REV. J. VAN DER HEYDEN (By N. C. W. C. News Service) Louvain-—Those who witnessed the steady stream of men and women reverently filing by the body of Cardinal Mercier as it lay in state in tlie arcliiep'iscopal palace of Mal- ines, were dominated by the thought that those tens of thousands of people had .The feeling they were paying liorrtage to a saint, to one whom the Church would some day false to her altars. That feeling is confirmed by the requests for relics of the lamented Cardinal-Archbishop which are con tinually being received by members of his ecclesiastical household and his near relatives. It also explains the.. spreading of the prayer for liis beatification to which the Bishop of Bruges has given liis approbation. This prayer reads; “O God, Eternal Father of tlic Word, who never ceascst to glorify Thy Name by glorifying the Preist- hood and the Passion •of Thy Son— of Jesus offering Himself to Thee and offering to Thee His Spouse and His Mystical Body — glorify again our Divine Redeemer by giv ing to the Church the grace to know all the workings of His sacerdotal love in the person of Desire Joseph Mercier, Cardinal Archbishop of Mechlin, ‘Apostle of Jesus Christ’, whom we entreat Thee, through the merits of the Cross, to raise to the ranks of the Blessed and the Saints. “And Thou, Mary, Queen and Mother of all Christians, Mediatrix of all graces, deign, as at Cana, to hasten the way of thy Son and to fill with joy the whole assembly of the Seneschals of the Lamb.” New Churches Going Up in Dublin s ‘Garden Suburbs (By N. C. W. C. News Service) Dublin—The transfer of popula tion from the congested sections and slums of Dublin to the healhy sub urbs has made necessary the open- of New Catholic churches. Only a week ago the Ahchbisliop of Dublin solemnly opened a Protestant church now converted to Catholic use. Since then he has blessed and laid , the cornerstone of the new churcn of Marino, Fairvicw. It is the first church in Ireland to be dedicated to St. Vincent de Paul. Construction of the third church will bd begun shortly, it has been reported. Marino is a new suburb built on the sea on the North side of the estuary of the Liffcy. The Arch bishop of Dublin commended the public spirit of the commissioners who replaced the Dublin corporation, in providing what amounts to a gar den suburb for Dublin workingmen. The population of the suburb is about 9,000 and there the Christian Brothers are erecting, free of cost to the new parish, a school accomo dating 1,000 hoys. The parish is bearing the expense of another school that will accommodate 1,000 girls. Since the war no less than four garden suburbs have been built on the outskirts of Dublin. The first, a colony for British ex-service men, is at Killester, a mile and a half inland from Marino; the second is Marino; the third is at Crumlin, on the inland side of the city to the west. A fourth is being built at Kimmagc, about two miles from the foot of the Dublin mountains. All of them arc built in beautiful coun try. Those inland command a view of magnificient mountain landscapes while Marino is on the seashore. A feature of these suburbs is that for the present they are for all practical puropses prohibition areas. They are likely to continue such. Ireland Sending Less Than Immigration Quota to U. S. (By N. C. W. C. News Service.) Dublin—It is understod- that no reduction in the quota of Irish emi grants to the United States will he made for the year beginning July 1. The number of immigrants will not exceed 26,000, of which is 2,500 short of the quota allowed. The ar rangements made in certain Ameri can centers for the reception of Catholic emigrants, have facilitated the seltlementof many young Irish men and women in the United States. While great efforts are being made to increase industrial employment in Ireland, it will take time before the average of 25,000 to 30,000 po tential emigrants can be absorbed in productive employment at home. Meanwhile, Irish Catholic emigrants are anxious to join their kinsmen in the United States before any pos sible reduction is made in the quota. The number of Irish priests in tile United States and of families with relations in Ireland makes leaving tile old country for America seem less of a wrench than emigra tion to any other part of the world.
