The Columbian editor, who asked per mission to reprint the editorial, ex plains its publication thus, in a para graph entitled Prelude: It will recall special memories to many of you who saw action on the fields of the last war, but more import ant than that, it will bring to the minds of all of us, as members of the strong est battalion in the Church's lay army, a new strength and a renewed deter mination toward keeping our lines in tact in support of our Church in all its phases of Catholic Action. The editorial recounted the Legend of Ypres, and called attention to the souls in purgatory whose intercession is a powerful aid in the battle for free dom and faith.
