Loss of Reflection Great
Malady of Age, He Says,
Quoting Words of Pope
NEW YORK, N. Y.—Pope Pius XI,
in his latest enlyclical "puts his fin
ger on one of the great causes of
failure when he observes ‘the great
est malady of the modern age, ^the
principal source of evil we all 'de
plore, is the lack of reflection,.” the
Rev. Dr. Henry Darlington declared
in his sarmon on “The Causes of
Failure” in the Protestant Episcopal
Church of the Heavenly Rest, Fifth
Avenue and Ninetieth Street.
Deploring the speed and excitement
of modern life, Dr. Darlington dis
cussed what he termed some of the
lost arts of life and conduct, such as
correspondence, conversation and-
contemplation, and called for a re
turn to more serious consideration of
human existence and for contempla
tion of “our own individual relation
ship to God” as the only means of
finding reason for existence.
“The world in general, what we
call civilization, and the individuals
who comprise it, all seem to be rush
ing recklessly on, but to what pur
pose?” Dr. Darlington continued.
“The excitement of the moment is
stimulating and thrilling; but when,
from exhaustion, or perhaps bore
dom, the pace begins to slacken, what
is there to take its place? With a
sudden shock, the shallowness and
superficiality of it all is realized.
’QUAKES GROWING PAINS, | Catholic University
JESUIT PROFESSOR SAYS! in China Progressing
(By N. C. W. C. News Service)
ST. LOUIS.—In an illustrated lec
ture before the Wednesday Club of
St. Louis, the Rev. James B. Mace-
lwane, S. J., director of the seismo
logies! observatory, St. Louis Univer
sity and Unitd States repressentative
of the International Geodetic and
Geographical Union, attributed much
of the scenic beauty of California. to
the seismological disturbances which
have occurred in that State in the
past.
“Earthquakes are called mere
growing pains, or sometimes chills or
shocks of the earth, but at the same
time they are sources of energy,”
said Father Macelwane. “Earth
quakes may be either vertical or hori
zontal movements of the earth.”
With lantern slides the speaker
showed the effects of the different
kinds of movements. In Alaska, he
said, the vertical movement of the
earth had caused the transformation
of lakes into forests, and of forests
into bare land. ^
Showing slides of the California
earthquake of 1906, which left a crack
150 miles long in the earth’s surface,
Father Macelwane said that the ef
fect of earthquakes on the topo
graphy of a country could be traced.
He explained, too, how the location
of an earthquake is determined with
the aid of a seismograph.
Buildings, he said, could be con
structed so as to prevent them from
being destroyed by earthquakes, a
fact proved in Tokyo, when some of
the buildings were uninjured after
the disaster of 1923.
U. S. Benedictines’ School
Can House 400 Resident,
1,00 0 Day Pupils
PEKING.— (N. C. W. C.-Fides).—
Though the American Benedictines
are not yet five years in the ancient
capital of China, with the opening of
the latest structure of the Catholic
University of Peking they will have
spacious buildings able to accommo
date 400 resident students and a large
day attendance, an assembly hall
seating more than 1,000 and a body
of more than 75 professors. Both the
style of architecture of their struc
tures and the lay-out of the spa
cious grounds which formerly belong
ed to Prince Tao of the royal fam
ily, provide the university with a
rich milieu which promises to make
it one of the distinguished institu
tions of Peking. It follows that the
school is beginning to draw its stu
dents from strongly influential fam
ilies.
Throughout the grounds an attempt
has been made to conserve Chinese
traditions and yet to provide a Cath
olic atmosphere. Brossard Mopin is
the construction company, the cost
being estimated at $600,000. The pro
ject has reached so rapidly the pres
ent stage of realization through the
energy of the Very Rev. Barry
O’Toole, Rector of the University,
well-known scholar in the United
States.
AUGUSTA, Ga.—Patrick Walsh
Council, Knights of Columbus, which
recently sponsored its annual dinner-
dance and made it one of the most
successful of the brilliant series, is
now busy arranging for the bazaar
it intends to conduct at the Knights
of Columbus' Home February 19-22
John T. Buckley, lecturer of the
Council, of which the grand knight is
Dr. John E. Marriott, is general
chairman, assisted by members of
the Council and a committee of wo
men headed by Mrs. C. J. Vaughan,
president of the Council of Catholic
Women. The members of the Coun
cil are working energetically to make
the bazaar a success, but the mem
bers of the women’s committee are
setting the pace. The Council re
cently renovated its beautiful colonial
home, stuccoing it and making other
improvements; the proceeds of the
bazaar will be utilized to reduce the
indebtedness incurred to make these
improvements, the only indebtedness
standing against the property.

“How many of us are able to sit
down and write with correct spelling
and proper English an interesting let
ter of any length? Instead, we gen
erally scratch off a few lines signed
in haste, or telegraph or telephone.
“So it is also with the art of con
versation. The old charm of personal
intercourse when, unaer the moon in
some fair garden or before the crack
ling logs of a fireplace, time has taken
wings under the inspiration of con
versation—how such moments stand
out as cases in our parched lives.
“As for contemplation, a prominent
executive said to me that if, in his
business, his employes would think
before they acted, they would save
themselves infinite trouble and the
firm thousands of dollars. What is
true in that organization is, in a
somewhat similar sense, true of our
lives. We make such a mess of things
because we never take time to think
it all through.
“Jesus said to His Disciples, ‘Come
ye apart and rest a while.’ For they
were coming and going and ‘had not
so much time as even to eat.’ How
modem that sounds. And the pre
scription of the Great Physician, then
and now, is to take time.
“What is life all about? What are
we here for? What is its purpose?
Thomas Carlyle said that the older
he became the more he pondered on
the first question of the Shorter Cate
chism: ‘What is the chief end of
man?’ with its wonderful answer:
‘Man’s chief end is to glorify God and
to enjoy him forever.’ This, as in
the catechism, should be the first in
quiry of a rational being.”
