Monsignor Lavelle Declares
It Is Our Privilege to Thank
God For Its Authors
• (By N. C. W. C. News Service)
New York.—Calling the Declara
tion) of Independence a miracle of
God's providence, Msgr. Michael J.
Lavelle, rector of St. Patrick’s Ca
thedral, said in his sermon that it
is our privilege “to thank Him for
the men whose-brains conceived it.”
“There is not a nation on the face
of the earth more "blessed than ours
today,” he said. “One of the great
miracles of God’s providence was
wrought and one of the most bless
ed changes for mankind, which we
often pass over and fail to appre
ciate, came to pass 150 years ago.
It is our privilege to pour forth the
uttermost gratitude of our souls to
the Source of All Things to thank
Him for the blessing of that day
and for that document and to thank
Him for the men whose brains con
ceived it.
“At the same time we are under
an obligation to show ourselves wor
thy of the blessing We have receiv
ed, and- by our acts to demonstrate
that we are determined to live for
our country’s glory.
“The virtue of patriotism, of love
of country, is one of the most nat
ural and the most universal instincts
of the human heart. Patriotism is
a moral duty. That duty as well as
the privileges of patriotism, is im
plied in the fourth commandment.
As children we learned that it ap
plies to all things that are placed
above us."
In conclusion, Monsignor Lavelle
said, “All 01 us should be ready to
live for our country, as well as to
die for it.”

Heroism of Priests
Pierre Van Passen in the
Atlanta Constitution
As in the front line in France
where they never faltered and many
established a repuation for great
heroism, New York’s priests are
never backward in entering burning
buildings and bringing spiritual con
solation to people half burned to a
crisp. Nearly every fire account in
the papers the last few weeks has
given such a story of a priest’s hero
ism.
When I passed a factory under
construction the other day on West
Forty-Ninth street, there was a ter
rific crash and a few monfents after
wards workmen were streaming out
wild-eyed with terror and haggard of
fright. Two fellows has been pinned
beneath falling steel girders. There
was a danger of further collapse of
the building. Somebody had gone
for a priest. He came. And that
fellow walked into the danger spot
with such coolness and sangfroid
before even the wrecking gang of
the fire department dared enter that
everybody would have cheered had
the occasion not been so tragic,

Stump, of Dunkirk, N. Y, $10.

CATHOLIC EDITOR DEAD
Grand Rapids, Mich.—Mrs. Mary
Veronica McLaughlin Anderson, for
mer editor of The Vigil, official
organ of the Catholic Diocese of
Gran Rapids died recently. She
was one of the best known women
journalists in the State.
The term infidel applies to those
who are. not among the “fidcles.”
the faithful of Christ. Popularly,
the term means those who reject
Christianity as a divine revelation.
In order to reject it, they must
have heard of it; those, therefore,
who have never heard of Christian
ity are not in popular language
called infidels, hut heathens, though
they are included under the theo
logical term “infideles.”
Senator Joseph E. Ransdell
on the Holy Eucharist
(From His Eucharistic Congress Ad
dress.)
“The Eucharist is incombarably
the greatest of the seven sacraments
and the other six revolve around it
as the earth and planets around the
sun. It is the base and foundation
of the Christian religion, the key
stone of the Christian edifice., It
develops an intimate love for our
Redeemer, and incites us to the
closest imitation of Him. Its fre
quent reception Illuminates the spir
itual darkness of our minds, reveals
the truth and simplicity of the gos
pel precepts, encourages us to walk
in the footsteps of Christ’s favorite
servants, the saints, and inspires us
to a higher life Christian perfection.
It is the chief antidote against the
ills, and dangers of the day, and our
principal source of strength and pre
servation amid the corrupting influ
ences around us. “Blessed are the
pure in heart, for they shall see
God.” Heavenly wisdom is given to
those who lead pure lives, and puri
ty is preserved through the Eucha
rist. It maintains, better than all
other agencies combined, our Chris
tian life throughout our earthly pil
grimage and gives perseverance to
the end.
“As a layman, I sec the Eucharist
doing for the soul what the hand
of God the Father has done for ma
terial nature. From the touch of
that hand the grasses grow, the folw-
ers bloom, the fields give forth thci r .
teeming harvests, and the heavenly
bodies move in the azure blue.
Without it all the universe would
tumble into the nothingness from
which it sprung, and so it seems to
me that the Eucharist, like the Crea
tor’s touch in nature, is the divine
touch of the soul, uniting humanity
with divinity in sacramental union,
elevating, inspiring, energizing, beau
tifying, so that tile world within us
is poised, moved and perfected ac
cording to the destiny which God
has planned.”
