Within the last three months the Cath
ole church has received, and has taken
some pains TO announce. a number of
converts who are OF considerable prom
inence in this country and in Europe. The
most startling conversion. perhaps, was
that OF Zoia. not the novelist of real
Ism. but an Italian namesake, Who was
the Grand Master OF the Egyptian Rite
of Masons. His predecessor in office was
the Marquis OF Ripon who. like Zoia, re-
nounced Masonry. and became a Catholic
convert. Unlike the Marquis of Rfpon.
however, lola WAS born and brought I'D
IN the Catholic faith. He left its COM
munton when he was a young man, and
was for long time bitter antagonist of
the Catholic church. He could scarcely
be called a convert. but rather revert"
Strange to say, the higher lola reached
IN Masonry the more he inclined to the
Catholic communion. When he finally de-
cided TO revert" he made q public con
fession OF error and was formally received
hack into the church at Rome.
A convert who IS prominent In this
country. on account OF hts connections is
Robertson James, a brother OF Henry
James. the novelist and OF Prof. James
OF Harvard. Mr.. James was a stanch Epis-
copaliau before his conversion TO the
visible communion with the See OF
Rome" and now believes that the paths
or the Anglican church lead. like the old
European highways. 10 Rome lie said.
