Enterprise 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.

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.” 11 Membership Increase Atlanta Council tn I: Other Fine Indications of K. i of C.
