Heroic Act of Nun
(Continued from Page One)
to death in the convent fire at Hay-
ling. Some people may say that it
was a useless and unnecessary waste
of life, that the errand on which this
devoted nun went into the flames
was needless and quixotic. That is
the easy and the superficial view.
There was behind this sacrifice a
splendid and glorious idealism. Every
one will mourn the death ofa noble
woman, but the manner of her death
is a shining inspiration. There is
something more in life than the
merely material, and with those
greater qualities Sister Celestine was
richly endowed.”
Kindly neighbors are giving shel
ter to the children until the nuns
erect huts which will serve until the
damage to the convent is repaired.
The damage is estimated at $25,000.
The amount is covered by insurance,
it is stated.

Henry Joseph O'Leary, Archbishop
of Edmonton. Canada, speake; at the
convention Mass.
The convention received the follow
ing message conveying the Holy
Father’s blessing to the order:
“Vatican City, Aug. 20.— The Holy
Father bestows the Apostolic Bless
ings on the officers and members oi
the Knights of Columbus.
“Cardinal Gasparri.
“Secretarv of State.”
LATERAN AND MEXICAN
SETTLEMENTS
As the Knights were meeting in
convention for the first time since
the signing of the Lateran Treaty and
the adjustment of the religious situa
tion in Mexico, Supreme Knight Car
mody touched upon both the events
in his annual address to the body,
expressing the order’s gratification
with both settlements. He also re
viewed the activities of the Order
during the last year, and discussed
several improvements in the insur
ance plan calculated to solve the
lapsation problem, the dread of all
fraternal associations.
Touching upon the adjustment of
the religious auestion in Mexico, the
Supreme Knight expressed the hope
that “with this era of restored peace
and good will our brothers of Mexico
may again resume their fraternal re
lations in the councils and enjoy the
benefits and blessings of their mem
bership both at home and with their
brothers of the other nations of this
continent.” At the time the religi
ous auestion arose in Mexico, he
said, the Order had more than 50
councils in that country, but, with
very few exceptions, these have been
inactive since that time.
The Southeast was represented at j
the national convention of the
Knights of Columbus by the State
Deputies, immediate past state depu
ties and Supreme Director Rice.)
Episcopal Bishop
Activities of
(By X. C. W. C. News Service)
WASHINGTON — Entrance of
church bodies into politics was
vigorously denounced by the Rt.
Rev. James y E. Freeman, Episcopal
Bishop of Washington, in his an
nual pastorial address, delivered at
the opening of the convention of
the Diocese of Washington, here
recently.
Bishop Freeman also denounced
church lobbies maintained in the
Capital, saying that “the mainten
ance of any organized system, de
signed to coerce legislators or to
dictate legislation, Sta.te or na
tional, is utterly foreign to a right
conception of the church’s function.
We have condemned and rightly so
the influence brought by organized
lobbies to affect legislation in the
interest of certain corporate bodies
that are seeking a selfish advant
age. It is equally reprehensible for
the church of any of its chosen
agencies, to use like methods.”
CHURCH PRESTIGE
LOWERED
“Whenever the church, through
organized effort, has attempted to
direct and control political action,”
he continued, “and thus has de
parted from its specific spiritual
functions, it has lost prestige and
signally weakened its influence. Its
place as the conserver of things
ethical and spiritual is undisputed.
It has to do with principles rather
than policies. If it lowers its
standards to become an autocratic
dictator in the concerns of legis
lative action or the choice of poli
tical candidates, it: loses the respect
and confidence of right thinking
men. Our age is unwilling to see
the church involved in political
debates and discussions and those
who indulge in such practices dis
qualify themselves as religious
leaders. Unfortunately the chief
sufferer in these matters is the
church itself.
“To higher ends must the church

address itself, if it is to hold its
place of power and influence as
the conserver of the noblest and
best interests of the State and na
tion. We are living in a new' age,
of better understanding and kind
lier judgments. The ties of fellow
ship are more closely knit and a
better spirit is abroad. To halt the
progress of this spirit or to seek
to impair in any wise its growth,
is to do violence to the highest and
best interests of life.”
“That a political campaign should
again revive the bitterness and
contentions of party - strife, and
that in certain quarters it should
be made the occasion for harsh and
ungenerous judgments,” added
Bishop Freeman, “has shocked the
sensibilities of a- vast majority of
our people.
“We can not believe that this
spirit is to prevail, nor can we be
lieve that it represents the opinion
'of more than a bare minority ol
our ' people. Nevertheless, it con
tains a solemn warning that must
be heeded, else it may constitute a
menace to those high ideals and
purposes for which this great Re
public stands.”

Under star filled skies, on the
shores of the beautiful Laguna El
Estero. was enacted each evening the
soul-stirring pageant of Junipero
Serra. A cast of 250 people carried
responsive audiences back more than
a century and a half to the days
when the light of Catholic civiliza
tion revealed the beauty of what had
been before a land of darkness—
California. The realistic scenes, de
picting the life of California’s most
loved .pioneer struck responsive
chords in the hearts of sympathetic
audiences, leaving them spell-bound,
too filled with emotion to show their
appreciation by “vivas” or handclap-
ping.
The pageant was written and com
posed by Msgr. Festres and Arthur
Cyril, actor and playwright.
