! from Oslo: Iceland has its own j
i priest, has a new Catholic hos- |
i pital at Havnefjord and is com-
i pleting a Cathedral in the capi-
| tal city of Reykjavik. It is the
j largest and the most beauti-
j ful church in the land.
I Work on the foundations was
begun in August, 1926; upon
I April 1st. 1927, the corner-
I stone was laid and now the work
I is as good as finished.
I From the hill upon which the
I Church stands it dominates
j the surrounding country. The
j walls are of reinforced concrete
I mixed with a volcanic dust that
! makes the stone-facets glisten
I in the sun and moonlight.
I Although of modern material,
I the church’s style is gothic. It
I glories in the possession of
I three bells, of which the largest
I weighs 4.000 pounds. The erec-
I tion of the new Iceland cathe- 1
I dral by the Montfort Fathers is |
I symbolic of the revival and res-
I toration of the old Mother
I Church in the Far Northern
I lands, where her past was so
I glorious.

Chinese Without Priest
20 Years Retain Faith
(By N. C. W. C. News Service
FUSHUN, Manchuria.—As far as
mission records go, the first Catho
lic priest to enter the historic
Ch’ang-Pai Forest, in the extreme
noreastern section of Fengtien Pro
vince, Manchuria, is a Maryknoll
missioner, Father Joseph A. Swee
ney, A. F. M., of New Britain, Conn.
It was in this section that the Man-
chu or Ch'ing Dynasty, the last' dy
nasty of China, had its origin. Some
three hundred years ago, the tribes
of hunters and fishers in Ch’ang-
Pai-Shan were formed into an
army under the leadership of Nur-
hachu, the real founder of the Man-
chu power.Nurhachu succeeded in
fighting his way to the Great Wall,
now known as Manchuria. His son
and grandson continued his military
coquests, and founded the Ch’ing
Dynasty.
At present the inhabita: ;s of
Ch’ang-Pei Forest are no less war
like than in the day of Nurhachu.
The forest is overrun with bandits,
and travelers avoid passing by this
route. However, it lies in the sec
tion of Manchuria entrusted to the
American missioners from Mary-
knoll, N. Y., and Father Sweeney
determined to visit it. He made
his journey during the severe Man
churian winter, and traveled inland
by sled from the Yalu River.
Father Sweeney discovered more
than fifty baptized Catholics who
had emigrated to this region, many
of them from the famine-stricken
Province of Shantung. He also
learned of as many more living
deeper in the forest, whom he plans
to visit later in the year. Father
Sweeney found Catholic emigrants
who had not seen a Catholic priest
for more than twenty years still
trying to live as practical members
of the church.

Churches in South Among
Recipients of His Numerous
Benefactions
(By N. C. W. C. News Servic.e)
PHILADELPHIA.—Martin Maloney,
Papal Marquis and Papal Chamber-
lain, who was the benefactor of many
Catholic institutions, died at the Bel-
levue-Stratford Hotel here early in
May at in his eighty-second year. The
funeral mass and interment were at
Spring Lake, N. J.
WAS NATIVE OF IRELAND.
Mr. Maloney was born at Ballingar-
ry, County Tipperary, Ireland, Decem
ber 11, 1847. He came to this curm-
try when seven years old, joining his
family at Scranton. At the ago of
15 years he had spent some time in
the coal mines, and then took up the
trade of a metal worker, and before
he had finished his apprenticeship,
had acquired an interest in business.
While in this line of work, he came
into the possession of many patent
rights, among them that of a new
original burner from which he de
veloped the ’’Maloney gasoline lamp.”
Coming to Philadelphia inl847, he soon
obtained contracts for lighting the
streets of this city* Jersey City, Pitts
burgh and Camden, an<l, in 1876, a
contract for lighting the Centennial
Exposition grounds in Fairmount
Park, here.
Mr. Maloney’s charities were con
fined to no state or city, but reached
out into many states of the Union, to
Ireland, his native land; to France
and to Italy. He was a frequent vis
itor to Rome, and was widely known
in the Eternal City. He was one
of the founders of the Catholic Church
Extension Society, and among his
larger benefactions are: The Church
of St. Catharine at Spring Lake, N.
J., where he maintained his slimmer
home; the magnificent Maloney
Chemical Laboratory at the Catholic
University of America, Washington,
D. C.; the Maloney Memorial Home
for the Aged, Scranton; St.. Joseph’s
parochial school, Trenton, N. J.: St.
Martin’s Church at the magnificent
Seminary of St. Charles Borromeo,
Overbrook, and the last of his larger
gifts, the Martin Maloney Clinic now
being erected as a part of the new
medical center of the University of
Pennsylvania at Philadelphia. Other
benefactions include large contribu-
tionss, church at Rock Hill, South
Carolina; Dublin, Georgia, and Flor
ence, South Carolina.
In recognition of his many chari
ties, both at home and abroad, Pope
Leo XIII created Mr. Maloney a Pa
pal Marquis in 1903. Pope Pius X, in
1904, created him a Papal Chamber-
I lain.

Georgetown Law School
Buys Four Acre Site
(By N. C. W. C. News Service.)
WASHINGTON, D. C.—Georgetown
University has just purchased a four-
acre tract of land near its campus
In that section of Washington which
was the old city of Georgetown, on
which to erect its new law school
building.
The purchase, which increases me
University’s holdings in Georgetown
to 93 acres, is the first step towards
the removal of the law school from
the downtown site it has occupied
since 1892. The University’s property
;s now ample, it was said, to allow
the grouping of all departments of the
institution around the present cam
pus.
Removal * of the law 'school from
its present site will await the Uni
versity’s program of expansion, but it
is already said that the Rev. W. j
Coleman Nevils, S.J., president of The i
'University, favors the erection on the j
new tract of land of a law school j
building that will resemble old Inde
pendence Hall in Philadelphia.
K. K. K. EVANS URGES
WORLD COURT FIGHT
'Imperial Wizard” Opposes
it on Religious Grounds
WASHINGTON—In a letter to
all members of the Ku Klux Ivlan,
Hiram W. Evans, its ‘imperial
wizard,” urges opposition to the
Root formula for interpretation of
the Senate reservations to the
World Court protocol because ‘a
large part of the members of the
court are Roman Catholics and
some are members of the colored
races.”
To join the World Court, Evans’
letter said, ”is simply and beyond
question to involve ourselves in
foreign entanglements.” Evans’ let
ter was addressed to his “faithful
and esteemed” brethren and was
signed “Yours in the sacred and
unfailing bond.”
