Last winter | visited various Cath

fellow Americans, Mother Mary Paul,
who is at the head of the religious
sisters of that establishment
Mother PauTS Mission.
Now the mission to which Mother
Paul belongs is doing really striking
and admirable work and l promised
her that l would publicly tell about
this before some Catholic body and
ask that Catholics of the United States
take an active interest in this Catholic
mission in mid-Africa. where such good
work is being done by an American
nun.
Uganda is one of the places where
missionary effort has been signally
successful and 1 hope the charitable

There is no other country in the
world where there is such really
broad religious federation. such kindly
good will among good people of diff
ferent religious creeds. There is no
other country where Catholic and
Protestant get on as we do here, treat
ing each other on the basis of our COM
mon citizenship; not judging him as
to how he worships his Creator, but
on his conduct toward his fellow man, |
on his own worth as a man. We must |
never permit anything to make us de-
viate from this standpoint"

Important Subjects Up.

of changing the name of the church
to the Holy Catholic was on the pro-
gram before the Protestant Episcopal
convention today. 1t was expected
the matter would come before the
deputies through the report of the
committee on title page of prayer
book of the church. which was
scheduled to make its report. The
majority report opposes changing
the name, while the minority report
recommends the change. The reso-
luton adopted by the bishops ap-
pointing a committee to consider an
Office for the JUNCTION of the sick is
also expected to come before the
deputies today.
Aim Blow at Divorce.
One of the first matters taken I'D
by the bishops today was the pro-
posal to change the laws of marriage
and divorce. Indications are that
marriages in which either party has
been divorced will not be recognized
in the church. AS the canons stand
the innocent party in a divorce on
one ground may be married by a
member of the Episcopal church. 1t
is thought this regulation win be
repealed.

Says Republic
is Approaching
Age of Luxury
Cardinal Gibbons Thinks United
States is Nearing Rome's Con-
dition Before Fall.

NEW YORK, Aug. 7.-Cardinal Gibbons
sat on the spacious veranda OF a long
Island country house this afternoon and,
watching the automobiles fit down the road
before him in one unending stream, moral
ICED on the dangers of self indulgence that
have beset all republics.
II think" he said, eve are closely APP
preaching the age of extravaganza and in
ordinate pleasure enjoyed by Rome just
before her fall. The cry of today is for
more and more riches. The rich man is
greedy for more. It is the same with the
well to do. 1t is the same everywhere.
Truly, we have many generous ones
among the rich. but I would wish that
more of them were considerate of the UNI
fortunate. This great desire for riches Is
making the people very selfish.
Then there is the desire for inordinate
pleasures"
An automobile whirled by in cloud OF
dust. The cardinal pointed after 1t and
continued: you see, we have many mere
channels Of pleasure than we're to the pa
trcians OF Augustus Caesars time; yet
there is the desire for new pleasures and
more pleasures.
81 believe the gospel of Christ will save
the present situation. There was no Christ
you remember, to save Rome"
