[11] Now commemorated on 14 September, the Feast of the Exaltation of Holy Cross. Shortly after the Restoration of the Cross to Jerusalem, the wood was cut up (perhaps for greater safety) into small fragments which were distributed throughout the Christian world.

[24] Huc. _Voyage dans la Tartarie, le Thibet et la Chine_, I, ix, p. 308. The author remarks: Ces cérémonies horribles se renouvellent assez souvent dans les grandes lamaseries de la Tartarie et du Thibet. Nous ne pensons nullement qu’on puisse mettre toujours sur le compte de la superchérie des faits de ce genre: car d’après tout ce que nous avons vu et entendu parmi les nations idolâtres, nous sommes persuadé que le démon y joue un grand rôle. (These horrible ceremonies frequently occur in the larger lamaseries of Tartary and Tibet. I am very certain that we cannot always ascribe happenings of this sort to mere juggling or trickery; for, after all that I have seen and heard among heathen people, I am confident that the powers of evil are very largely concerned therein.) [25] I use this term rather than the more popular “Spiritualism.” Spiritism obtains in Italy, France and Germany. “Spiritualism” is correctly a technical name for the doctrine which denies that the contents of the universe are limited to matter and the properties and operations of matter. [26] For fuller, and, indeed, conclusive details see Godfrey Raupert’s _Modern Spiritism_, London, 1904; and Monsignor Benson’s _Spiritualism_, _Dublin Review_, October, 1909, and reprinted by the Catholic Truth Society. [27] _Prognosticare_ is a late word. Strictly to prognosticate is to deduce from actual signs, to prophesy is to foretell the future without any such sign or token.
