donned their eassocks they had little to
do, but as they grew older the pastor de-
cided that it was time for them to learn
the Latin responses so that they could be
available for all emergencies. So they
studied Latin. Last Sunday the boys as

The Catholic Missionary Union is the
institution in the Roman Catholic Church
which is parallel to the boards of home
missions in other churches. It is an
agency devised by the Society of st. Paul.
The Union has just held its third annual
meeting. Archbishop Corrigan, of New
York, is at the head of it. It's income is
as yet small, but it's funds from requests
are steadily on the increase. It's work is
almost wholly in the Southern States,
where it is planting many mission
churches. The special work of the Paul
lists is converting the Protestant world
to Catholicism. The recent meeting of
the Union issued a statement, saying
Conversion is not conquest, unless per-
haps it be self-conquest. which we take
to be the noblest of victories. We do not
expect to conquer America; we expect
Americans to conquer themselves"
