The ssm,nary of Foreign Missions at Paris

Les Missions CATHOLIC esI
This institution founded at Paris in
1868 with the appreciation of Pope Alexander
VII, and the legal recognition of Louis
xiv, which recognition is still in form. 1t
had for it's sole and exclusive aim the con YER
sion OF the Gentiles, not only by the preach
ing OF the Gospel, but also by the formation
OF native clergy. This air has not changed
Tor two centuries, and to-day on the first
DAY, all aspirants received at the Seminary are
| solely and exclusively destined for the service
or the missions among the heathens. Since the
beginning of this century the Seminary of
Foreign Mssions has sent $50 missionaries to
the countries of the far East OF this number,
twenty four condem ned to death on account
of the Faith by Judicial sentence of the pagan
tribunal, have had the happiness of shedding
their blood for our Lord Jesus Christ seven
others, without being judicially condemned,
nave been massacred by the heathens; and
hive hundred are engaged this present moment
IN preaching the Gospel. To understand how
far short thus is OF the number required, it is
enough to state that in the missions alone con-
tided to the society, the pagan population ex-
ceeds two hundred millions of souls there
arr, then, not three missionaries a million
OF heathens, or hardly at the rate of one priest
for an ordinary diocese of France. Notwth-
standing this scarcity of apostolic laborers
the society has the consolation of registering
each year, on an average, 10 600 baptisms of
pagan adults, more than 100 600 baptisms of
pagan children In danger Of death, and of
giving at the same time religious succor to
about $50 900 native Christians scattered in
the midat of idolaters in the different MISSIONS.
What results might not be expected if the
number of missionaries were more considera-
BILE! The missions confided by the Holy See
to the society are twep ty -four in number I;
they are directed by twenty -four bishops or
superors, all members of the same society,
and are in Japan, Cerea, Thibet, China, Hin
dostan, AMMAN, and 1ndo-Cbina. The society
is not a regular order, but society" of secu-
lar priests united among themselves men,
bers of the same body, not only by general
rule approved by the Holy Soc and by their
common, aim, but also by the seminary at
Paris, which is the centre aud common founda-
ing the society, the missionaries make the sol
emn promise of devoting themselves entirely
and till death to the service of the mission /;
the society, for its part, ensures them in return
