Spring Hill Plans
Library Budding
Work on Stately Centennial
Structure to Start Soon
(Special to The bulletin)
MOBILE, Ala.— Specifications for
the construction of the Thomas Byrne
Memorial Library which is to be
erected by the Spring Hill College of
this city have been issued to con
tractors according to a statement
made made by Very Rev. Joseph M.
Walsh, S. J., president of the local
Jesuit college which is celebrating its
one hundredth birthday this year.
It is expected that actual construc
tion on the new unit of the college
which along with Mobile Hall, the
handsome dormitory building facing
the Old Shell Road, constitutes the
beginning of the building plan in
augurated two years ago, will be
started before the first of March.
The new library will harmonize in
design and structure with Mobile
Hall. It will be built in colonial
style and will show the characteris
tics of that period most prominently
on the west elevation where the road
stops will be tipped by four massive
pillars. The building will be situat
ed to the west of Mobile Hall and a
little closer to the road. It will face
west, opening on the quadrangle
which will be surrounded on the
south by the administration building
and on the east by the auditoritorium
when the time comes for the erection
of these edifices.
It will measure 160 feet from east to
west and 50 feet from north to south.
It will be constructed of reinforced
concrete and brick and will be fire
proof throughout. The building will
be equipped with every modem li
brary convenience, special attention
having been devot: d to the best . i
lighting, book-storage, and handling
during the development of the plans.
The space on the ground floor will
be taken up by a lecture hall, mu
seum and rooms for private study
and research. These individual sanc
tums. wall be divided by a corridor
running the entire length of the
building. The second floor will de
vote a space seventy feet long by
forty-eight feet wide to a main read
ing room. The rest of this floor will
be occupied by magazine and periodi
cal rooms, offices for the librarian
and clerks and a stock room com
modious enough for over one hun
dred thousand volumes.
It is expected that work will be
well advanced before the end of the
present school year and that the work
of transferring, cataloging and stack
ing the numerous tomes contained in
the present library will be finished
before the reopening of school in the
fall.

CHURCH GOODS GROUP
MEETS IN NEW YORK
(By N. C. W. C. News Service)
NEW YORK.—The annual conven
tion and dinner of the National
Catholic Publishers and Dealers in
Church Goods was held at the Hotel
Astor January 17 and 18. Sixty of
the eighty-five members attended.
The usual papers were read and there
was a discussion of problems per
taining to the business.
After the convention the board
met and elected the following offi
cers: Charles J. Kammerer of the
Catholic Union Store, Buffalo, presi
dent; Louis Kenedy, of P. J. Kenedy
& Sons, New York City, vice-presi
dent; Bernard Benziger, of Benziger

Sheila Kaye-Smith had been an
Anglican for eleven years when, in
1925, an Anglican friend went to Li-
sieux and brought her back a medal
and a secondary relic. From that day
the course of her religious life was
troubled.
Sheila Kaye-Smith, English
Authoress, Enters Church
(By N. C. W. C. News Service)
LONDON.—Sheila Kaye-Smith, not
ed authoress whose conversion to tire
Church a few weeks ago created a
sensation, has disclosed that( like
“Father Vernon”—another notable
Anglican convert—she was influenc
ed in her decision by the “Little
Flower.” She writes in The Dublin
for three years: I. Donnelly, of Kan
sas City; Louis Kenedy, and T. M.
O'Connell.
The convention was presided over
by the retiring president, Matthew
F. Sheehan, of the Matthew F. Shee
han Company, Boston.
Minister Married
by Priest Suspended
(&y N. C. VV. C. News Service)
LEXINGTON, Ky.—The Rev. Julius
Arnold Velasco, rector of St. John’s
Protestant Episcopal Church, has been
suspended by Bishop H. P. Almon. of
Lexington, presumably because his
recent marriage to a Catholic girl
was solemnized by a Catholic priest.
Bishop Abbott in his comment on
the action, said that it took effect im
mediately. The notice informed Mr.
Valesco that he had been suspended
from performing any ministerial
functions pending action against him.
In his statement Bishop Abbott de
clared that Mr. Valesco, before he
was ordained three months ago, en
tered into an agreement with the
standing committee of the diocese
that in the event he was married by
a Catholic priest he would renounce
his orders.
The clergyman was married to Miss
Catherine Rogers, of Ellicott City,
Md., by the Rev. Michael A. Ryan,
pastor of St. Paul’s Catholic Church,
that town.
"It is difficult,” she says, “to de
scribe the impression this young saint
made upon me. It was not only the
beauty of her life, the charm, wit,
and sweetness of her recorded words
or the lovely simplicities of her Lit
tle Way. It was rather the realiza
tion of that sanctity, that heroic vir
tue, that sublime love being offered
to the modern world. Here was a
saint who, if she had been alive to
day, would scarcely have been old—
a saint of our times, whose features
and expression have been given us,
not only by the painter and ecclesi
astical image-maker, but by the pho
tographer.
“In Lisieux are still living men and
women who knew her and spoke to
her, including her own sisters; her
canonization miracles were not found
in documents or in tradition, but on
the lips of living witnesses. And when
I looked at her I saw not merely her
self, but the living, unfailing foun
tain of sanctity which is the Church
that made her what she was. ’
From this point she set herself to
examine the “marks” of the Church
AMERICAN PASSION PLAY
AT UNION CITY, N. J.
(By N. C. W. C. News Service)
UNION CITY, N. J.— One hundred
parishioners of the Chucli of the Holy
Family, are rehearsing the American
Passion Play, which will be present
ed for its sixteenth season in Febru
ary, March and April, under the di
rection of the Rev. Joseph N. Grieff,
founder and director of the play.
The dramatic recital of the Passion,
death and transfiguration of Our
Lord is in six scenes and ten tableaux.
The former present Jesus’ trial and
betrayal, and the latter the scenes
of the Last Supper, the Way of the
Cross, the Crucifixion. Entombment
and Resurrection. William Ender and
Albert Freeh, who have achieved
fame in the part, will again enact
the role of the Saviour. They will
alternate between the 35 perfor
mances.
Senator Walsh Lauds
Catholic Colleges
They Give Poor Boys Chance
of Leadership, He Says
of England, having found through the
light shed from Lisieux that one of
them was missing. She is, however,
highly tentative in her view of the
future.
She does not believe, for example,
that High Churchmen may in the
end break away from Anglicanism
and form a separate sect of their
own.
* This is unlikely, she says, for two
reasons: First, because Angio-Catho-
lics are not united among themselves;
second, because they are the most
uncompromisingly loyal people on
earth, and the bad treatment they
continually receive only serves to
make them more determined in their
purpose to plant their garden in the
sand.
She doubts whether Anglo-Catho-
lics will eyer in large numbers join
the Catholic Church partly because
most of them are temperamentally
less Catholic than their practices and
beliefs. They like to go their own
way; to pick and to choose; to fight
with authority, rule parochially. They
are in many ways Protestant at heart.

PITTSBURGH.—Senator David I.
Walsh, of Massachusetts, who spoke
before St. Vincent’s College Alumni
Association here praised the educa
tional program in Catholic colleges,
declaring that they give to poor boys
a chance for education and to the
church the opportunity to develop
leaders.
Other speakers at the l.unquet were
the Rev. Gerard Bridge, secretary of
the association; the Rt. Rev. Hugh C.
Boyle. Bishop of Pittsburgh, and the
Very Rev. M. A. Hehir, C. S. S. Sp.,
president of Duquesne University.
The Rt. Rev. Aurelius Stehle, O. S.
B., Archabbott of St. Vincent’s, who
was to have addressed the ban
queters, was unable to come be
cause of illness. He is confined to
St. Francis’ Hospital here.
PRIEST CHOSEN HEAD
OF CHEMISTS’ SOCIETY
(Paris Correspondent, N. C. W. C.
News Service)
PARIS.—A priest has been elected
president of the Association of Chem
ists of the Textile Industry. He is
Abbe Pinte, director of the Techni
cal Institute of Roubaix.
This is another testimony of re
gard for the great scientific merit of
Father Pinte, whom the government
has already honored with the Cross
of the Legion of Honor.

Teachers in Vacation
Schools to Double
So Dr. O’Hara Reports After
Tour of Seminaries
(By N. C. W. C. News Service)
WASHINGTON. — More than twice
as many seminaries will work in the
vacation school field this summer, the
Rev. Edwin V. O'Hara, LL.D., direc
tor of the Rural Life Bureau, N. C.
W. C., reports. Dr. O’Hara returned
to Washington from a 10,000 mile tour
of the country, during which he visit
ed many seminaries and discussed
with both seminarians and educators
the vacation school program for 1930.
Six weeks of almost constant travel
were rewarded with the assurance
that well over 200 seminaries will
labor in vacation schools this year, as
compared to 100 1929.
Dr. O’Hara visited, among others,
the Sulpician Seminary, Washington,
D. C.; Pontifical College Josephinum,
Columbus, O.; St. Mary’s of the West,
Cincinnati; St. Francis’, Milwaukee;
St. Paul’s, Minn.; Kenrick Seminary,
St. Louis; St. Thomas’, Denver; St.
Patrick’s, Menlo Park, Calif.; and La
Porta University, La Porte, Tex.
Ten major seminaries have made
definite prevision, according to Dr.
O’Hara, to carry on preparatory work
for the seminaries who next year will
teach in various parts of the United
States. The Rural Life Bureau will
publish, within a month, a course of
study to be used for the guidance of
teachers, and copies of it will be dis
tributed to all colleges and seminaries
from which the workers will come,
SEVEN SESSIONS tyj&?KLY
Present plans for the schoois call
for seven sessions a week. Of these
five will be three-hour daily affairs,
for children, and the other two will
be held in the evenings for adult
Catholics.
Th American Hierarchy) Dr. O’Hara
reported upon his return, is taking a
interest in the work. An evidence of
this is seen in the fact that in many
dioceses the vacation school work is
beginning to become a regular part
of diocesan activities, and is being
accorded a place in school reports.
The vacation school, Dr. O’Hara
said, serves a dual purpose—it gives
instruction to children and adults,
and at the same time gives the semi
narian laboratory experience in his
vocation. Seminarians who have
conducted schools have demonstrat
ed remarkably ability, both in teach
ing catechism and in other fields.
Success has been found in instructing
boys to serve the Mass, and in athle
tics.
