'"heoi or bitterness
Among my best aud closest
friends are many Catholics. NV re-
spcet and regard for those of my fcl-
low Americans. who are Catholics. are
us dear To me as the respect and re-
gard of those who are Protestants.
ON my journey through AFRICA I Wis
tied many Catholic as we'll as Protes-
tant missions. AS ! look forward in
telling the people at home an that has
been done hN protostants ANA Cntho-
lies alike as | saw II, in the field of
missionary endeavor, ii would cause
me a real pang to have anything said
or done that would hurt or give pain
to my friends, whatever their relig-
ious belief. But any merely per-
sonal considerations are of no CON
sequence in this matter. The inn
portant consideration is the avoid
ance or harsh and bitter comments
as may excite mistrust and an
ger between, and among good men.
The more an American secs of
other countries the more profound
must be his feelings Of gratitude that
in his own land there is not merely
complete liberation, but the heartiest
good viii and sympathy between sin
cere and honest men OF different
faiths-good viii and so
complete that in the innumorable
daily relations of our American lifc
Catholics and Protcstants meet to-
gether and work together without
thought of the difference of creed
