FOCH’S EXAMPLE DREW MAN BACK TO CHURCH BY M, MASSIANI, Paris Correspondent N. C. W. C. News Service. Paris.—The Sunday following his radio sermon commemorating Mar shal Foch, Father Lhaande, S. J., was able to announce to his vast au dience that the example o. the piety of Ferdinand Foch had brought an errant Catholic back to the fold. In eulogizing the qualities of the illustrious hero. Father Lhande had invited everyone to join him in a prayer for the soul of the deceased. One of his unseen audience wrote to him a few days later saying that although he had been brought up in the Catholic faith, he had ceased to practice it, but, impressed by the great lesson of piety given him by the life of a man as illustrious as Foch, he has decided to resume his Christian habits of former days. “I authorize you, my Father.” he added, "to make use of my letter if you think it will be of service to others.” THOS.

Press c f England in General Lauds Italian-Vatican Treaty (By N. C. W. C. News Service.) London—The negotiations between the Holy See and the^Italian govern ment resulting in the settlement of the Roman Question are generally acclaimed in comment on the re cently-signed treaties appearing in the press of England. The comment of some of the newspapers follows: The Times: It has needed great statesmanship in the Pope and in Signor Mussolini to attempt a* real settlement of a problem which has so long seemed insoluble. Strong opposition to any particular settle ment will no doubt be felt by some school in both camps. But if Pius XI and the “Duce” have really achieved and can maintain a true settlement they will have deserved well of their common country and of the world. The Observer: The substance of sovereignty has been maintained and established before the world. The one-sided Law of Guarantees, where by the Italian Parliament purported to grant privileges to the Pope as to a subject, is abolished. Its place is to he taken by a formal Treaty signed by parties each equally Sovereign. In this most vital sense the Papacy is visibly free and in dependent. The Morning Post: That Musso lini should desire such an under standing was natural. Any dictator, who takes by force, must look about when he settles down for those sanc tions and benedictions which go to- confirm doubtful title-deeds. Napo leon, in somewhat similar circum stances, concluded with Pius VII that famous concordat of 1801 which gained for him- the power influence of the Vatican in France and which remained in force until 1905. The Daily News: When the two greatest authoritarian powers join forces and play into each others hands, it becomes more than ever difficult for other dogs to bark. The Birmingham Post: The pro longation of the quarrel benefited neither the Roman Church nor the Italian State, and both parties are to be congratulated on a happy con clusion of th delicate negotiations necessary to compose their difficul ties. The Ecumenical Council which the Pontiff is said to to he concok- ing for next year will thus have an especial significance, for it will vir tually be the resumption of that Council which broke up in 1870 at the fall of the temporal power of the Papacy. The Yorkshire Post: If it be true, as it seems to us to be, that the Va tican authorities have done wisely in restricting the requirements of territorial independence at the nar rowest limits, it is equally true that, in thus refraining from grasping at the shadow of temporal sovereignty in the old sense, the Vatican has obtained the substance of visible and demonstrable independence—an independence which cannot hut give additional weight and authority, even among non-Catholics, to Papal efforts toward the peaceful settle ment of disputes and the betterment of human relations and conditions.

The day the Dominican nuns came to Raleigh, he said. God blessed his, the pas tor’s labors abundantly. Now the people wished to show gratitude by giving them a home worthy of their labors, he said. They will not for get, he stated, that the people’s help and that of their bishop had made possible this beautiful home. With the lot, the convent cost $52,- 000, and he urged the people to have the same faith and generosity that enabled them only a few years to build a beautiful rectory and church, all of nature granite, free of debt. At the end of the ceremoily a hymn of thanksgiving was sung in the beautiful convent chapel, and many non-Catholic neighbors joined in the singing. Thos. Gilbert recently received minor orders in the Sacred Heart Cathedral and on May 23 Rt. Rev. William J. Hafey, D. D., bishop of Raleigh, w'ill confer priesthood upon Chas.
