"Luck to Them”
Tampa Times Editorial Tri
bute to Catholic Women
The Catholic Woman’s club of
Tampa has our congratulations up
on the announcement that it is
planning to purchase an attractive
Bayshore property as a home for
itself and its various activities.
Here’s luck to them.
The people of Tampa also have
our congratulations ini "this mat
ter, for it was also stated in con
nection with the announcement of
the plans for this home that the
Caliolic Woman’s club will not
sponsor a public drive for the nec
essary building funds, but wiU raise
them among the club’s own circles
and a few frineds. In this these
women have adopted a plan of pro
cedure quite out of the ordinary
Here’s still more luck to them.
There are those among us who
know somewhat of the large work
which this organization is and has
been doing. It has taken over, is
financing and doing the large
amount of work necessary concern
ing them, a number of things which
otherwise would be charges upon
comunity service in Tampa, Were
their work left to the other agen
cies whic would have to do it did
they not, the demand upon the Com
munity Chest funds would be con
siderably larger than it is, unless
many things which should be done
wepe left undone—which they
wouldn’t be. So here is even great
er luck to them.
We trust that it will not be long
before we are reading in the news-
colunms that this new home is com
plete and occupied and (hat it is
one io keeping with what these
women deserve purely because of
the work they are doing. If it is
such a one it will be an exceed
ingly good clubhouse.

Hosts of Jackson and Lee
(By N, C. W. C. News Service.)
London.—Altogether 180 members
of Parliament have now signed the
retititou asking the Government to
taslen the passage into law of the
Catholic Relief Bill, which would
abolish the disabilities imposed up
on Catholics in penal days and still
remaining on the Statute Books.
One of the leading newspapers in
te country, the “Yorkshire Post,”
commenting on the petition, says:
“It is an iniquity that any civil dis
ability should distress the subject
whose loyalty to his Church is not,
and cannot be, inconsistent with
oyalty to his Sovereign. These dis
abilities are the relics of out-worn
controversies; they are archaic;
they represent a temper which no
longer governs the nation’s policy;
to countenance them is to he mean
and uncharitable.”
The article continues: “Though
no one in his senses would dare to
give the force of law to these nu
merous Catholic disabilities, mem
bers of the Church of Rome are
potentially at the mercy of any re-
igious fanatic who may happen to
sit on the magisterial bench. A
Catholic regards disobedience to
the civil authority as a sin. There
arc no stauncher adherents of au
thority than the Catholics.”
Extract From Lecture of Fr.
LeBuffe at Providence
Rev. F. P. LeBuffe, S. J., dean of
the Fordham University School of
Social Science, in the course of an
address delivered recently at Pro
vidence, R. I., o 11 “Our Christian Her
itage of Social Service,” made a vivid
reference to the Stone Mountain
Memorial, comparing the march of
the hosts of Lee and Jackson on the
sides of the mountain to the march
of the saints of God down the cen
turies. Father LeBuffe said in part:
‘That is our heritage, the lieri
tage of our saintly social-working,
nay, far sweeter, charitable, ances
tors. Shall we be true to our heri
tage? Out from the solid rock
which rears its mountainous mass
upon Georgia’s soil march with un
ending tread Robert E. Lee and
Stonewall Jackson and the unnum
bered hosts of less known, but none
the less noble, men who fought in
the uniform of gray, when civil
strife tore our country in twain.
There they march, these men of
stone, whose names arc loud on
every southerner’s lips and whose
deeds are cherished in every south
ern home. Silent is their tread, hut
it thunders in every heart over the
wide world. Men they were who Jjad
hearts as tender and as true as any
other men, but hearts, too, big and
brave and daring to do great deeds
that won for many of them only a
nameless soldier’s grave out in the
fields where warring brothers fell.
Heroes they were and out from
earth’s own citadel they call to
younger generations to emulate their
deeds.
The South does well to carve into
unyielding stone the story qf her
valiant sons that each new youthful
folk may mold their lives to high
est actions. Yet there is a greater
troop of men who go marching down
tiie centuries and their tread has
thundered wherever man dwells. The
great host of God’s saints advance
and readvance upon us from New
Year’s Day to New Year’s Day. Greece
and Rome an<i Western Europe scud
forth their hosts of victorious war
riors; Asia and Africa and far-flung
Oceanica summon their hero folk
to God and latestborn America mar
shalls the forces of her saintdom.
These are not stolid figures of stone
lit indeed to awaken memory’s fruit
ful store, yet cold and unresponsive
to every call, but men and women
living and lithe and quick in God’s
final home in heaven, and day after
day ihey march from out the Missal
and the record book of saints we
call the martyrology, beckoning us
on to do and dare as they.
“Tonight and tomorrow night and
tomorrow’s tomorrow, down from
the heights of heaven this saintly
ancestry calls to us to be up and do
ing, to lend a helping hand to Ihose
who slip and fall; to say the kindly
word that will cheer the heart that
is faint; to clothe the naked and to
feed the hungry and to house the
homeless; to give of our money, yes
and to give of ourselves. The poor
of God are calling to you. What
is your answer?”
It is very uncertain when the feast
of the Blessed Virgin’s nativity was
introduced. It is not mentioned by
the Council in 813, though it gives
a list of the feasts then celebrated,
nor again in the capitularies of Char
lemagne and Louis the Pious. On
the other hand, it is mentioned by
Walter, Bishop of Orleans, in 817.
and in a work on the virginity of
Mary ascribed to St. lldefonsus, but
really, as Duehcry thinks, written
by Paschasius Radbertus, in the mid
dle of the ninth century. It is
placed on the list of holidays by the
Emperor Manuel Commenus in the
middle of the twelfth century, and
the Copts as well as the Greeks have
adopted it.

“The effects of Excommunication
from the Church may be summed up
as follows: ‘As a man bv baptism
is made a member of the church,
in which there is a communication
of all spiritual goods, so by excom
munication, lie is cast forth from the
Church and placed in the position
of the heathen man and the publi
can, and is deprived accordingly of
Sacraments, sacrifices, sacred of
fices, benefices, dignities, ecclesias
tical jurisdicton and power, eccles-
asticai sepulture—in a word, of all
the rights which he had acquired by
baptism—until he make amends, and
satisfy the Church.”
