THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, ONLY BROTHER OF SAINT AT SERVICE OF CANONIZATION By Kdgar Ansel Mowrer" i. Special Cable to TtMt Jmirnal aM tht Chitmso - IMUy Newt ' (Copyriiht, 1920, by Cbicaro Daily New Co..) jtome, itaiy, jviay la. f layed) -'This is the greatest honor I that can happen to any family and ' I wanted to live to see it. Now If ; God wants to call me X can die con ! tent." So spoke to me today a little bearded doctor, 86 years old, unique 1 in the world as the ; only living - brother of a saint. IDs name is . Mlchele Poasenti and he lives in An- oona but is now in Home witn a .'SXOup of 20 odd relatives for tomor- row, Ascension day,' his brother, i Francesco, will be canonized in the Church of St. Peter and will hence-i- forth be known as St. Gabriel of Our I lAdy of -Seven Sorrows. Eagerly I the old man with eager eyes told me ! many anecdotes of his brother. I "When did Gabriel's reputation for sanctity first begin?" I asked. AFFLICTED WENT TO HIM "Immediately after his death;" was I toe 'refcly. "A doctor of. Morovalle, f. where he was first brought tip, told me that there must be something, extraor t dinary about Gabriel, because hundreds of persons brought to him not only' in- firm i ties to be cured, but money, end they would not bring money unless they I were convinced that Oabrlel was a saint." . r "Did you personally ever assist .Jn I n , ,r r 9 Via mIm.Im? Ill .1 ... wa, 1 sonally, during your brother's .lifetime, I suspect that he was a saint?" I "Not at-first, but when once I visited him while he was a novice at Morovalle I I said to myself that he was either , a saint or a fool." From old Mlchele and Gabriel's print ed blbgraphy I learned - the following: : fFTancesco Possentl, the eleventh child; I was born in Assisl in 1S38 and was bap- tlsed at the same font at St. Francis. He grew up in Spoleto, a generous, in t telligent boy. but quick to anger and inclined to disobedience. Jle. began to i feel the call of religion early, but it ' was not until after the death. -.of a sls I ter that he was actually drawn to" It. " Then, kneeling one day before an lm 1 age of the Virgin in Assisl, he heard a voice saying, '-Francesco, this world is not for you. Your part is religion." DEATH HIS FONDE8T WISH v Henceforth he turned from the world and, against the wishes of his parents, ! entered the order of the Passionist Fathers in 1856 on the day of Our Lady ' of Sorrows, whence he tootathe name. Six years later, while still a novice," his , fondest desire was granted and he died ,: of tuberculosis. Gabriel as a novice was pious, generous and fond of poverty. He especially adored the eucharlst. the sacred heart and the Virgin mother. Once he had turned from the world he hated it and urged bis father to banish novels from the home and avoid 'thea tres. He was a mystic and so pious that he never raised his eyes, from the ground. He was hardly dead when miracles began. He appeared several times to the peasants -and cured hun dreds of sick, especially those afflicted with rupture. :. CUBES ASD SATES ' Later his body was transferred to the town of Isola, where, above his tomb, are more than 100 rupture bandages left by the cured in- sign of their gratitude. Several times sailors who: invoked him in danger were saved by Gabriel. Some of those who blasphemed were as read ily rewarded as the faithful, t His- fame filled all of Umbraia and Abruzzo, and especially in the neighborhood of Isola it is today immense. r Canonisation was formerly a matter of tradition, but since the time of Pope Benedict ,XIV the procedure has been legalised. The candidate, after his death, must , first become ' beatified. When .it is shown that during his life time he possessed seven i virtues and when the church prosecutor, called the devil's advocate, who protects the church from impositions, has recognized his heroic virtue, and . when three mi racles have been duly attested, then the church, through the pope, permits beati fication. This, in -the case of Gabriel, was done in 19QS. Since then two more miracles have been attested. The Passionist Fathers of the entire world are rejoicing at this honor done their novice, as generally i sanctity : be comes manifest only after i the lapse of centuries.. Truly, as Michel Possenti said, the world offers no greater honor than to . chant a saint among one's brothers. - -- MANY FILGBIMS GATHER It was a great week for -the church. Thousands .upon thousands of pilgrims filled Rome's already crowded hotels and were lodged in ail - the religious institutions. t Competition for places at the ceremonies was so great that many of - the pilgrims who came in the way from France could not secure admission to the vast basilica of St.! Peter. - The canonisation of St, Gabriel, as well as of Marguerite Mary Alacoque, a French nun of the Order of Visita tion and of ean fit Arc, is proof of the religious fervor aroused by war and Buffering. Holy Images, banners, med als, buttons and sacred books are shown ' In profusion everywhere, and the sound of foreign languages makes one feel as : if- old Rome had returned. . This, to gether with . the generally chaotic social conditions, the garbage strewn streets, for . the street sweepers are once more on strike, and the presence of many po-: lice and soldiers, produced a sensation which it is impossible to describe. nnmnmn?!iPTCTn .Is IILVULUIIUHIOIO IU GET HOT RECEPTION Franc I Slumps; When N.

By Edward Price Bell Special Cabla to Tbe Journal and tbe Chicago Daily Newa, (Copyright, 1920, by Cbicaro DaOy Kelts Co.) London, May 20. Popular anxiety relative to strikes ana" sectional poli tical aggression is manifesting itself in many European countries. :Amer icans are already familiar with the organization of the British' middle classes to defend themselves in the event of serious striked and the formation of the British legion to deal-with possible violent revolution. Holland is considering an anti-revolu- tlno bill "in view of the probable arri val of bgttafbrs from foreign countries."" Under this bill an individual is liable to imprisonment for not exceeding five years if, first, he enters into communica tion with any person or organization ; in foreign countries for the purpose of caus ing revolution in Holland ; second, Intro duces into the country large sums ofl money or jewelry with the object of as sisting in sedition : third, if found in possession of articles and 'documents 4 tending . to promote : revolutionary dis turbances. r . ' :.. WOULD BBEAK STRIKES . ' Denmark bas formed a society calling Itself "Civic Aid" with a non-political membership drawn from all classes with the object of placing labor and materials at the disposal of the authorities in the event of industrial disputes, lockouts and strikes involving the cessation of activi ties essential to the community. : ' -The society will be neutral in all dis putes, intending merely to act 1n emer gencies to lessen the evils suffered by large sections of tne population .not di rectly concerned in the stoppage of work. There are to be two classes of members. One, to work tinder the, orders of the society may only be employed as long as the authorities require Us help. Its mem bers . are guaranteed remuneration by the society. The other class merely sub scribes the funds. One of the first tasks of the society will be that of unloading grain belonging to the state before it is spoiled on account of 'the seamen's and dockers strike.; i LIKE AMERICAS LEGI03T ; In France a "Union Clvique" has been formed to assure the continuance of pub Hce service in the case, of revolutionary strikes. The aim of the union is to es tablish voluntary mobilization in order to prevent general strikes. AH individuals and associations will be asked to lend their support. " . , - In Belgium, Italy and parts of Ger many peaceful society is taking - similar measures to protect itself against the ef fects of big strikes and revolutionary as- ulta. There are points of similarity be tween ail these organizations " and the American Legion and the "United Americana" Wilson's 14 Points : Posted as Protest To Greek Invaders By Cesttalstise Brows Special Cable to The Journal and Tbe Chic 10 i Daily - News.
