cATHoLIs AND TRANsvAAL.

Editor Internountain Catholic;
Sfr-In reply to a letter in your late
issue about the status of Catholics in
the Transvaal. will you kindly allow
me to make the following remarks?
l. 1t is against the law of the South
African Republic for any Catholic to
hold office of any kind in the State, or
TO vote for the raad or the president
no matter how long he may have been
in the country. Catholics and Jews are
ranked with cOloTed people and lie
gitimates" in these disabilities.
>. President Kruger, TO gain their ia
vor. quite recently proposed to remove
Jews and Catholics from such de-
grading category. but whether he was
sincere or not, the raad rejected his
proposition. Consequently if the rather
wild assertions of your correspondent
THAT they do hold some few positions
be true. this would simply mean def
nnce Of the law and an enemy would
merely have to draw the attention OF
She government to the fact in order to
GUST such Catholics from their offices.
,. The only people who employ Cath
olics at all in the Traysvaal, aye, and
literally support Catholic institutions,
toe are the much decried capitalists.
who employ 100000 people, irrespective
of creed or nationality, and pay So
100000 annually in taxes to the goern-
ment.
A. AS to Leyds, he must have con-
cealed his Catholicity very successful
Nv. I for one should not be more aston
ished if ! heard that Satan himself
were a Catholic.
;. AS to the Pretoria nuns holding
property. the gift, if any, was from
The British government, which. in 1851,
simulated for the non-disturbance OF
existing institutions when handing over
possession to the Transvaal executive.
My own conviction is, however, thaI
there was no gift at ali, but simply
compensation for destruction of prop
ertv during the siege, the BRUSH gar
rison having occupied the convent as
the best strategic position for the de-
Tense Of the town.

the following incident reported from

lie position on this subject is a well
come surprise to many who have hith-
erto associated her views with the ca
Iumnies and innuendos of travelling lee
turers. Those who overlook the logical
sequence of foul living upon false be-
lief will often gladly accept the truth
when recommended by an earnest plea
for what they know to be noble and
pure in daily actions.

At Pittsburg, Pa, mission for non
Catholics was recently given IN the
Church of st. Paul, and large amount
of literature was distributed. An orig

specially appropriate services, with SER
mon or instruction every Sunday after
noon at o'clock. This is in addition to
the inquiry class, which ought thus to
be materially recruited.

New York. Feb. 25.-There is a move
ment on foot amGng the converts Of the
country to organize into an association
for the purpose of prOpagating the
Catholic faith by personal example by
social intercourse, by the establish
ment of Catholic libraries by the cir
culation and distribution of Catholic
literature and by the financial mainte-
nance of missions to non-C@tholics.
While this movement is largely made
up of converts to the church who feel
bond of sympathy among themselves
still there are associated with them
very large number of Catholics who
were born in the faith and whose
hearts are filed with an Apostolic de-
sire of sharing with the many outside
the church the Certainties and reali-
ties that they themselves enjoy. This
movement has crystallized leagues in
Chicago and Philadelphia. In Phila-
delphia the leading spirit of Miss
Elearno C. DonnelIy. In Chicago there
is quite a cOterie of bright converts
who have already met and adopted
constitution under the secretaryship of
Stetson Merrill. The plan is TO have
the league a national one in the form
of federation of local leagues. Each
one of the center of Missionary effort
in the town or city in which it is locat-
ed. The movement is entirely spon-
tanecus in it's growth and more than
anything else it indicates the depth and
extent of the missionary feeling.
