TheGreeksandtheKalendar

MuddlesThatResultFromLouof CatholicUnity.

AlthoughtheOrthodoxChurchesof Constantinople,Athens,Cyprus,and RoumaniahaveadoptedtheGregorian Kalendarduringrecentyears,the olderPatriarchatesofAlexandria,Antioch,andJerusalemsteadfastlyrefusedtodosoatthesametime,partly becauseofthepersonalrivalrieswhich existedbetweenthefourPatriarchs.

Apartfromitspracticalinconvenience,theretentionoftheJulianKalenderinEgyptledtomanyanomaliesafterthechangehadbeenmade inEurope.Manyofthemembersof theOrthodoxPatriarchateofAlexandriahaverelativesinGreece,Cyprus, andelsewhere,sothatwhilstthelatter werekeeping(forinstance)Christmas onDecember25(NewStyle),their friendsinEgypthadtowaituntil January7tokeepthesamefeast.An evenmore-strikinganomalywasthe celebrationthisyearofasolemnTe DeumintheOrthodoxCathedralin AlexandriaonourJanuary1inhonour ofNewYear'sDayinGreece,immediatelyaftertheLiturgyfortheSundaybeforeChristmashadbeensung. Butthedifferencesdidnotstophere, foreveninthePatriarchateofAlexandriaitselftwokalendarswerein use,asthelatePatriarchPhotios(althoughherefusedtomakethechange inEgypt)allowedtheOrthodoxCommunitiesintheSudanandinSouth AfricatoadopttheGregorianKalenclarsomeyearsago.

WhenthepresentPatriarchofAlexandria,MeletiosII.Metaxakis,was PatriarchofConstantinople,hetooka leadingpartinpressingforthechange ofkalendar,sothatitwasaforegone conclusionwhenhewaselectedto Alexandriain1926thathewouldwork forasimilarsteptobetakenthere. Therewere,however,manydifficulties toheovercome,anditwasonlyrecentlythatthechangewaseffected,and thedifferenceofthirteendaysabolished.TheJulianKalendarendedin EgyptonSeptember30,andOctober1 (OldStyle)becameOctober14(New Stvle)-achangeratherlikeSummer Timeonalargescale.

AGreekisgreatlyattachedtothe -name"dayofhisPatronSaint,soto provideforsuchasshouldwishto celebratetheirnameday,whichfell ononeofthethirteendayscutfrom themonthofOctober,thePatriarch decreedthatsuchcelebrationshould takeplaceasthoughthekalendarhad notbeenchangedandthattheOffice oftheSaintsoftheoldandnewkalendersshouldbecelebratedonthe sameday.

TheJulianKalendar,whichhasjust beenabandoned,wasthirteendaysbehindtheGregorian,andas,moreover, theOrthodoxmethodoffixingthe dateofEasterwasused,ithappened inpastyearsthatnotonlydidthe datesofthefixedfeastsdifferbythirteendays,butthedatesonwhich thosefollowthgtheGregorianKalendarexactlyandthoseusingtheJulian keptEasterrarelycoincided.In1924, 1925,1927,and1928,theGregorian Easterwasaweekearlierthanthe Julian,in1926itwas28days,andin 192135daysearlier,whilstin1919and 1932thedatescoincided.

HutwhilstadoptingtheGregorian Kalendarforfixeddates,theOrthodox havekepttheiroldmethodoffixing thedateofEaster,and,indoingso, have,asfarasthatfeastisconcerned, mademattersworsethanbefore.Althoughthesemi-officialorganofthe AlexandrinePatriarchatedeploresthe "turningupsidedown"oftheEastern Churches.duetotheirvaryingmethods offixingthedateofEaster,itfailsto adthattheirlackofrealunityismade onlytooapparentbythisfact.-"Universe."

PRIEST'SEVIDENCEFORGRAVE CHARGES.

Evidenceonwhichhebasedcharges ofevilsintheCanadianimmigration systemconcerningyounggirlimmigrantsisgivenbytheAbbePhilippe Casgrain,CatholicImmigrationChap. lainattheportofQuebec,inthe "Chronicle-Telegraph,"ofQuebec. Whenhefirstspokeonthesubject, theImmigrationDepartmentofthe

FederalGovernmentinvitedhim"to presentevidenceinconnectionwith hischargesthatyounggirlimmigrants sometimesfellintothehandsofpersonsofill-reputeandneverreached theirproperdestination."

"Inthefirstplace,"theAbbeCasgrainsaysintheinterview,"letme quotethewrittendeclarationthat gavethereporterwhointerviewedme.'

"Itreadsasfollows:'Thereisone featureofourimmigrationthatcauses meconsiderableanxiety,andthatis thepracticeofbringingoutbatchesof foreigngirlsasdomesticservantsand placingthemwithpeoplequiteunknowntothem.Iconsiderthisabad systemandfraughtwithconsiderable dangertotheyounggirls,andsimply devisedtoprovidepassengertrafficto thecompaniesconcerned.Iwouldrecommendthatonlyforeigngirlsgoing torelativesorfriendsshouldbeallowedtocomeout.'

"Myexperiencehasshownmethat 1havegroundsforanxietyinthis matter.Itisobviouslyadangerous experimenttoallowagirlinher'teens, whohasneverinherlifelefthome, tocomefromCentralEuropequite alonetoCanada,whereshedoesnot knowasoul.

"Isitfairtoexposeagirlofsuch tenderyearstosuchfearfuldangers? Itisallverywelltosaythatinexperiencedgirlsarelookedafterduringthevoyage.

"SubsequentlytothisstatementI broughttothenoticeoftheDepartmentacasewhichshowsthatthedepartmentdidnot,inallinstancesatall events,makeinquiriestoestablishthe bonafidesoftheapplication.

"Irefertothecaseofsomeforeign girlswhoweredestinedtoacertain addressinFender-street,Vancouver, andwhocameoutoneafteranother. Ireportedthearrivalstomysocial workerinVancouver,andshereplied thatshecouldnevergetnewsofthem fromtheproprietorsofthehouseto whichtheyweredestined.

"Ithenaskedthemountedpolice forareportonthathouse,andwas informedithadaverybadreputation andwaskeptbyawomanunderan assumedname,who.wastriedandcondemnedforsellingliquor,andthatthe placewasarendezvousforafastset.

"IreportedthismattertotheDepartmentandgavethenameofthe lastgirlwhowasdestinedthere,and beggedtheDepartmenttoprevent othersfromgoingtothataddress.

"ImayaddthatIamnow.waiting forareportconcerningagirlwhowas destinedtoahAuseonPacific-avenue, andwhomyworkerreportsdidnotarrivethere."

TheAbbeCasgrainthenrelates casesinwhichhedeclaresimmigrant girlsweredefraudedbytheinterpreteronboardtheship,who,hesays, soldthemfakemeal-ticketsandchargedthemadditionalrailroadfare.

Healsocitescasesinwhichgirls didnotreachtheirdestination,andhis correspondenceconcerningthemwith theDepartmentofImmigration.He statesthatmanyofthesegirlshave notsincebeenheardof.

TheAbbeCasgrainconcludesby sayingheintendstogotoOttawa nextmonthinordertoconferwiththe Departmentandsubmittoimmigrationauthoritiesaplanbywhichthe objectionablefeaturesofthepresent systemmaybeeliminated.

The-StoryofCatholicEmancipation

Ina"Universe"reviewofDenis Gwynn'snewbook,"TheStrugglefor CatholicEmancipation,1750-1829," (Longman,GreenandCo..10/6net), "G.M."writes

NonationhaseverdefeatedtheEng- lishsothoroughlyashavetheIrish; andthereisnonationfromwhichthe Englishcanacceptdefeatwithbetter grace.Themereaccidentofgeo- graphycreatesaunionwhichthediscordsofreligionandraceperpetually attack,butneverwhollycorrupt.

OnehundredyearsafterthecollapseofPeelandWellingtononthe religiousissuecamethecollapseof LloydGeorgeandBirkenheadonthe nationalissue.ButEnglandseemsto bearnogrudgeforeitherdebacle.

AnEnglishCatholicreadingMr. DenisGwynn'sstoryofthestrugglefor CatholicEmancipationwillfindthat toagreaterextentthanheeverimaginedthestrugglefellupontheshouldersofIrishmen,andevenofindividualIrishmenlikeBurke,Doyle,and O'Connell.But,iftheycarriedonthe fight,tothemmustthemajorcredithegivenforthevictory.

Itcan,perhaps,besaidthatMr. Gwynn,himselfanIrishman,doessufferfromsomelackofperspective,not becausehedevotessomuchofhisadmirablewritingtotheIrishcause,but becausehefailsfurthertoamplifythe

equallyadmirablechaptersthatdeal withthenegotiationsinEngland.

ItistruethathementionsLord Mansfield,whosejudgmentsindefence ofpriestsindictedundertheActof 11and12WilliamIII.preparedthe wayforthefirstCatholicReliefAct. Itistruethatwhenhedealswitha laterperiod,hementionsSydney Smith,Cobbett,Jeffrey,Moore,andthe otherpublicistswhocreated,adefinite bodyofpublicopinioninfavourof Emancipation.Buthementionssuch meninasides.

Oneisleft,astotheEnglishnegotiations,withanunpleasantmemory oftheCatholicCommittee,theCatholieBoard,andtheCisalpineClubdealingwithanimpulsiveMilner,avicillatingPoynter,andaPopeincaptivityor behindtheAlps.Almostignoredare thewideraspectsofthemovement; theLatitudinarianismoftheAgeof Reason;theWesleyanismthatflowed intothevacuumcreatedbyofficial Anglicanism;theintellectualreaction againstWesleyanbigotry;theeffects uponEnglandofthepriestsexiledby theFrenchRevolution;andthenew learningoftheRomanticMovement.

However,Mr.Gwynndealsspecifi- callywiththestruggleforEmancipa- tion,andsobeisconcernedmorewith campaignsandbattlesthanwiththe underlyinginfluencesofthewar.As tothecampaigns,itmustbesaidthat althoughthereweredissidentsagainst O'Connell,andalthoughtherewere IrishbishopslessbrilliantthanDoyle, nevertheless-O'ConnellandDoylecarriedtheIrishnation,Churchandpeo- ple,toastartlingpoliticalvictoryover Westminsterthathadforitspurpoee andeffectnotpoliticalgain,butthe recognitionoftherightofEnglishmen toworshipGodlikefreemen.

IsEvolutionProved?

ADefenceoftheConservativeVitro.

Commentingonastatementinthe PressthatFatherPhilipdeTernant hadstronglycriticisedCatholicleaders, priestsandlaity,whoattackthetheoryofevolution,Rev.Dr.Grimley,in "TheCatholicGazette"(December),in alengthyandwell-documentedarticle showsbyquotationsfromscientists themselvesthattheyarenot"agreed thatthegeneralideaofevolutionis yetproved,whilsttheyareentirely atsixesandsevenswhentheycome toexplainhowithappened."

"Theyhold,"writesDr.Grimley, ''ontotheidea,fautdemieux:that isthefairestestimateoftheposition ar.itisto-day.Itmayneverriseany higher,oritmay.Wecannotsay.

Consequently,whilstevolutiononthe scientificsidemadebeanadmirable subjectfordebate,yetevolutioninits relationswiththeCatholicFaithisnot debatable.Itisonlydeterminable. ."

Quotingthentheopinionsofvarious eminentscientists,Dr.Grimleyproceeds:"Thedoubtfullanguageofscientistssuchasthosewehavequoted above,theirappallingdisagreement aboutthe'how'ofevolution,andthe fateofsomany'unshakablescientific convictions,'aresufficienttojustify anyman,andanyCatholic,withhold inghisconsenttotheevolutionaryhypothesis,andtojustifyhimonpurely scientificgroundsandthelawsofevidencealone.Itisnotproven-there isanunassailablefact

HalftheTruth.

"WhenFatherdeTernantsaysthat 'thereisnonecessaryconnectionbetweenEvolutionandMaterialism'he isonlystatinghalfthetruth.Ifhe hadbeenaccustomedtoanswersuch questionsasareconstantlybeingput tousintheQuestionBox(Hasnot evolutiondestroyedbeliefintheFall, inthestateofinnocenceofourfirst parents,inthestoryofAdamand Evegenerally,inoriginalsin,increation,intheBible,thesoul,etc.,etc.?) hewouldcertainlyhaveknownthatin thepopularmind,asinthemindsof manyevolutionists,andDarwinistsin particular,evolutionstandsforamaterialisticandatheisticanswertothe problemoftheuniverse.

Horacebeganbelatedpreparations tofallheadandearsinlove. Hermother,hediscovered,wasn't aCatholic-yet.Afterformingthat frivolouslady'sacquaintance,hefearedsheneverwouldbe.Mrs.Sophie Readewasdecidedlyaloverofthe goodthingsoflife;thoughtfasting ridiculous,Confessionasuperstition, andLentafinetimetogotoNice.She cultivatedairsthatmighthavesatbetteronBella.Sheandthegirlwere pals,ratherlikesistersthanmother anddaughter.WhichwasfurtherexplainedtoHoracewhenhelearned thatSophiewasonlyastepmammato Bella.

Horace'scourtshipprogressedbeautifully-underBella'sdirection,also MamaSophie's.

"Ifyoudon'tlandthathandsome Howell-wonderwhathismeansare? -ifyoudon'tannexhim,Bella,I'll takehimmyself,"generouslywarned theblaseSophie.

Sophieknewthewaysofmen,or, anyhow,shesotrumpeted,having beentwicewifedherself,butshewas wary,andnevercommittedthefaux pasofsuchboastingwhenHorace mightbewithinearshot.Sophiewas cordiallydetestedbyalltheunmarriedladiesatthehotel,andsomethat weremarried.Sheflauntedherprowessquite.tooflagrantly.

Shewaswearingoneofhisflowers now,andsheherselfworethesame open-eyed,innocentexpression.Brut sheseemedadaisy,withvioletperfumethrownonit.Herfacewaspure whiteasthepetals,herhairasgold astheheart,and,ofcourse,Horace didn'tknowenoughaboutwomento understandthatwasallpurchasedfor aprice.Sophie'sinfluencewassubtly evidentintheyoungstepdaughter.

Yes,hefeltqueasy,thathorridsensationofhavingfastedfortwenty-four hours,drunkagallonofwater,and gotahollow,gaseousgurglinginthe midriff.Wasthislove?Ifso,then DanCupidwashighlyovertoutedand nothalfasprettyashisposters.

StillBellawaspleasant,eventhough Horaceownedacreepingideashehad nodepthstohercharacteratall.She sparkledenough,asatinybrookmight afterarain,but,comethetrying,feverishcareerofmatrimonyandmotherhood,wouldn'tthatshallowbrookrun dry,andahusbandhaveahardtime' toslakethenaturalhumanthirstofa man?

Infact,Bellavoicedherapprehensionattheprospectofpoverty-ugh! whenonewouldhavetoworkhard, andforwhat?-onlytolive.Horace, warnedbyhisinstinct,keptmum abouthisdepartedrichuncleandsurvivingrealestate. BellaandSophietalkedhimo'er.

"Hegrewthoughtful,"declaredthe girljubilantly,"whenIpointedoutthe disadvantagesofbeingpoor."

"Excellent!"approvedSophie."Now heknowswhatyouexpect.And goodnessknows,hesgotgoodlooks enoughifhe'sgotanyotherkindcf goodatall.Illkeepmyselfoutof hissightforthepresent."

Andstepmama,valiantlyyouthful, surveyedherplumselfinthefulllengthmirror.

ThenpatteredintothehotelCurtisPatterson,aboutfiveyearsyounger thanHorace,agooddealprettierand giddier.Bellamissedaneveningwith Horace.Heperceivedthat,and,from theambushofthelaurels,nolongerin bloom,Horacecaughttheechoesof herwhole-heartedmerriment.EvidentlytheabsenceofHoracedidn't disturbBellasothatyou'dnoticeit.
