music of every kind will be almost
exclusively Catholic in theme and
authorship.
This practically nation-wide em
ployment of the radio as a means
of promoting a better understanding
of the Catholic Church and her
doctrines and practices and more
friendly relations among the several
religious groups in America fulfills
the hope expressed at the Convention
in Cincinnati in November, 1928.
That convention, by resolution,
recommended that the N. C. C. M.,
with the aid of its affiliated organi
zations, undertake by printed word,
and word of mouth and the radio, an
exposition of the Catholic faith.

of the late Edward T. Graham, who
died late in-February, was held from
St. Patrick’s Church, Rev. H. A.
Schonhardt, pastor, officiating. Inter
ment was in City Cemetery. Mrs.
Graham was a widely known mem
ber of St. Patrick's Church and death
came to her after a brief illness.
Surviving are a daughter. Miss Julia
Mae Graham, a son, Edward A.
Graham, and a brother. Eugene J.
Lyons, all of Augsuta.
Preparations for the initiation of a
‘‘Catholic Hour” on the radio were
begun shortly after the Convention.
The officials of the N. C. C. M., made
a preliminary study of the conditions
to be met in the country at large,
an inquiry into the radio facilities
obtainable, an estimate of the cost of
the program, and a survey of the
probable source of funds with which
to finance the programs and auxiliary
activities. The plans devised for the
broadcasts were approved first by tbe
Administrative Committee of the Na
tional Welfare Conference and sub
sequently by the General of the
Bishops last November.

throughout Rome as an orator. How
ever, the responsibilities placed upon
the shoulders of the young prelate by
Cardinal Rampolla, Secretary of State
and Pope Leo XIII made impossible
the continuance of his courses of ser
mons.
In October, 1899, after having been
sent as Apostolic Delegate on an ex
traordinary mission to Canada, Msgr.
Merry del Val was elected President
of th Pontificia Accademia dei Nobili
Ecclesiastici.
The initial sum of $30,000, which
insures the commencement of the
, broadcasts, _ was _ subscribed by
Bishops, priests, individual laymen
and organizations of the laity. No
general solicitation was attempted.
The amount thus far obtained came
from relatively few persons, and in
contributions ranging from $5,000 to
$1. The largest single subscription
was $5,000, from the Knight of Co
lumbus.
While the use of the National
Broadcasting Company’s facilities is
without cost to the N. C. C. M., the
latter must bear the expense of the
programs worthy of the Church and
maintain a staff at its headquarters
to answer the thousands of inquiries
expected as a result of the weekly
xasKS.
,, ft ft lbs belief of the officials of
the N. C. C. M. that when its pro
grams have been heard by the Catho-
lics of the country they will gladly
contribute the remainder of the funds
required for this year and $50,000 an
nually to continue the work here
after.
COLUMBUS CLUB ENTERTAINS
COLUMBUS, Ga. — The Catholic
Club entertained March 4 with a
bridge party at the Muscogee Club;
Mrs. R. S. Grier and Mrs. John Lee
were joint chairmen.
AUGUSTA, Ga.—Six priests and
relatives and friends from numerous
cities gathered here February 20th
for the funeral of Mrs. T. M. Heffer
nan, one of Augusta’s most beloved
and most widely known women, who
died the day before after an illness
of three weeks. Mrs. Heffernan had
not been in good health for some
time but her illness took a serious
turn only recently.
Mrs. Heffernan was a native of
Augusta, where she was born 68
years ago; she was a member of one
of Augusta’s oldest and most highly
respected Catholic families. Over
forty years ago she was married in
old St. Patrick’s to T. M. Heffernan,
now general manager of the River
side Mills, who. with two daughters,
Miss Regina Heffernan, and Mrs. Ma
rion Stulb, four grandchildren, a
nephew, Miles J. O'Connor, of Au
gusta, and a niece, Mr.-. J. Carroll
Magarahan, of Spartanburg, S. C.,
survive her.
Mrs. Heffernan was universally
known in Augusta as “Miss Cass.”
For a half-century she had been a
leader in church work in the city,
in her younger days at St. Patrick’s
and more recently at St. Mary’s.
The extent of her work of charity
was surpassed only by the quiet
ness with which she accomplished
it. She was widely known to the
clergy and religious throughout this
section; few of the laity numbered as
many of them among her close
friends as did she.
Rev. James A. Kane, pastor of St
Mary’s, officiated at the Solemn
High Mass of Requiem, with Rev.
H. A. Schonhardt, pastor of St.
Patrick’s as deacon, Rev. Harold Barr
of St. Mary’s, sub-deacon, and Rev.
T. James McNamara master of cere
monies.
Present in the sanctuar were Rev.
T. A. Cronin, S. J., pastor of Sacred
Heart Church, Rev. A. J. Laube, S.
M. A., pastor of the Church of the
Immaculate Conception.
Pallbearers were: Honorary, Geo.

AUGUSTA, GA.
On April 19, 1900, Pope Leo XIII
nominated Msgr. Merry del Val to be
titular Archbishop of Nicea, and, -on
May 6, of that year, Cardinal Ram
polla conferred episcopal consecration
on the Monsignor in the national
Spanish Church of Santa Maria, in
Monseratto. On June 3, 1902, Arch
bishop Merry del Val represented the
Holy Father at the coronation of King
Edward VH in London.
The venerable Pope Leo XIII died
on July 20, 1903, and the next day
the Sacred College, at its first meet
ing, elected Archbishop Merry del Val
as its secretary. To this office was
united that of Secretary of the Sacred
Consistorial Congregation and the
new Pontiff, Pius X, confirmed him in
it immediately after his election as
Pope on August 4, 1903, nominating
him at the same time, Pro-Secretary
of State. As soon as the Holy Fath
er had had time to recognize the tal
ents of the young, pious, intelligent,
extremely devoted prelate, he desired
to have him permanently at his side
as his collaborator, and, in the con
sistory of November 9, 1903, created
him Cardinal and, three days later,
nominated him his Secretary of State.
The 38-year-old Cardinal assumed
not only a very high honor but also
a formidable responsibility. How
faithfully he fulfilled his office is
demonstrated by the confidence and
very great affection shown him by
the prudent Pontiff, which never
weakened for an instant during the
whole of his Pontificate, but increas
ed day by day until the death of
Pius X, when the life of his faithful
collaborator seemed to be broken by
grief.
On February 2, 1914, Pope Pius X
nominated Cardinal Merry del Val to
be Archpriest of the Vatican Basilica.
On October 14, 1914, Pope Benedict
XV named him Secretary of the
Holy Office.
In these two high offices, Cardinal
Merry del Val continued with great
activity arter relinquishing the duties
of Secretary of State. The magnifi
cent Museo Petriano is eloquent tes
timony of His Eminence’s work as
Archpriest.
In addition to these offices and that
of Prefect of the Sacred Congregation
bf the Venerable Fabric of St. Peter’s,
which represent his activities as Car
dinal, His Eminence was interested In
hundreds of works of zeal and chari
ty, some of which were widely known
and admired, while others were hid
den in the secret of his pious and
beneficient life. Among these works
of particular mention were the Pi
ous Associations of the Sacred Heart
in Trastevere, one of the poorest sec
tions of Rome. His Eminence found
ed these in 1889 and directed them
always, never allowing himself to be
detached from this work, even when
he was occupied with the great prob
lems of the Secretariat of State. His
generosity gave the Association ample
halls, a sunny garden, a theater and
land of the neighboring hill of Mone-
verde, for games and country excur
sions. In the midst of these people,
Cardinal Merry del Val manifested the
simplicity of his soul, taking part as
companion in their conversations and
the recreations.
Another .work which absorbed the
affections and activities of Cardinal
Merry del Val was the introduction
of the cause for the beatification of
Pope Pius X.
At the time he became Bishop, Car
dinal Merry del Val had already
achieved the fluent command of five
languages—English, French, German,
Italian and his own Spanish tongue—
in addition, of course, to Latin, the
language of the Church. . He was pos
sessed of a stately and noble bearing,
of dignified manner, genial disDosi-
tion, and charming conversational
powers, as well as of able, intelligent
and keen perception. Not only was
he entrusted with many important
missions and offices by the Church,
out the chancellories of Europe heap
ed honors and distinctions upon him.
