Der of Catholics in Finland does not

Catholic parishes OF Helsingfors and
Wiborg are enthusiastically subject to
the Archbishop of st. Petersburg.
Polish priests ministered to the
spiritual wants of the faithful until
quite recently. Two years ago DR..
Wilfrid Won Christensen, the son of
a Finnish father and an Irish mother,
was made pastor of the church in Hell

news that the first priest of full Fin

Karling, has just been named provost
Of the church in Wiborg.
DR.. Karling was born in 1882, and
joined the Church while still student
at the University of Helsingfors. He
Studied for number of years at
various foreign universities, and COM

College Of the Propaganda in Rome,
where he was ordained to the priest

REPORT JUST ISSUED SHOWS
REMARKABLE PROCESS DUR
ING THE PAST YEAR.

We have received an advance copy
of the Report of The Catholic Church
Extension Society of the u. s. A. for
the fiscal year ending October Is, 1911.
The report is being mailed to the
clergy SO as to reach them during
the latter part of this month. In more
ways than one this report Is remark
able. Many movements rise in the
Church, which are of unqdestioned
merit, but which die or languish for
the want of proper nourishment. The
Church Extension Society might have
been one of these movements; for it
began on nothing but enthusiasm and
zeal. An article appearing in ""The
Ecclesiastical Review" some seven
years ago received such encourage
ment from the clergy that an organi-
zation to assist poor missions was
formed under the name of Church
Extension. There was no money I'm
it's treasury; but the men behind it
were practical men, members OF the
hierarchy, clergy and laity. From the
beginning the laymen were given the
lions share" OF the direction, with
the result that, by applying business
methods to the work, the Society
has been successful financially from
the outset.
The present report shows that the
Society's receipts for the past fiscal
year were $3O7,9 ,967.15. which is
$50 ,963,59 more than half Of all that
had been received during the five pre-
ceding years, although this was the
considerable sum of $536,OO7.12. The
money received represented not only
cash, but also securities which. with
the notes for loans, have been held by
the Society in sort OF Endowment
Fund. This fund now amounts to
$685., ,406-23. The Society has prac-
tically no liabilities

and skill which make her name a

She had many thrilling adventures,

Criticism of the Volksverein.
A Dutch newspaper, the Rotterdam
"Maasbode" is creating great deal
of Indignation in Southern Germany
and the Rhine Provinces by its con-
tinued attack on the great Catholic
Society, the Volksverein, which has
done and does SO much for the well
fare of the people. The "Maasbode"
is endeavoring to seriously injure the
Volksverein by alleging that it is not
in it's primary character Catholic, and
that it is is in reality being used as
weapon against the Church. This is
the old quarrel between the Cologne
and the Berlin Catholics revived in
Holland. In Berlin the Catholic So
ciety is restricted to Catholic member
ship only. In Cologne, which is, it
must be remembered, the centre of
largely Catholic district, the Yolks-
verein offers it's advantages as work.

This willingness to take outsiders is
the hinge on which the Rotterdam
organ hangs great number of charges
against it. 1t says that it is playing

the Right Reverend Bishop LawIer
at the Banquet eiveR by the Ancient
Order Of Hibernians in Honor of
Their National President, James j..

apoIis, on January I.

A banquet was given at the West
Hotel, Minneapolis, on New Years

Hibernians in honor of their National
President, James J. Regan, of st. Paul
Among the speakers were Governor
Eberhart, Right Reverend Bishop Law.

paid tribute to the zeal and ability of
the National President and congratu-
lated him on the good work which he
has accomplished for the Order since
he assumed the duties of his high
Office
We subjoin an extract from the ad.
dress of the Right Reverend Bishop
Lawler:
"You who are the organized repre-
senratlves of the Irish race should as
sert yourselves strongly and unmis-
takably for the ideals of Christianity.
Guided by the traditions of the race
which it represents and mindful of the
glories of other days the Ancient Or
der of Hibernians should always be
true to God and to fellow man-loyal
to faith and to fatherland. AS long
as the Order is kept on a lofty plane
close to the grand, old Church to
which it looks for inspiration, it will
be powerful factor for the better
ment Of every town, city and metrop-
oils in which it exists.
In our American life today there
is sore need OF the assertion or Chris.
tian ideals. In the mad race for ma
terial prizes people become forgetful
of Christian principles.
''Is not the spirit of Materialism
alarmingly prevalent? Is not the idea
of the Supernatural fast fading out of
the minds and hearts of millions of
our fellow citizens? Are we not being
de-christianized?
''It is distressing fact that millions
of those who compose the vast ma
jority of our American people outside
the Catholic Church do not profess
membership in the Christian churches.
They rarely enter house of worship.
And the children of that un-churched
multitude grow into manhood and

EXTENSION SOCIETY

It was not supposed, at the begin
ming, that the new Society would be
able to do much practical work for
at least ten years. The Board had
hoped to raise one million dollars as
a foundation; but this scheme was
abandoned very soon, on account of
the number of appeals which were
made for assistance. The activities
Of the Society as shown in the report
have been divided. First, the laying
of the foundation, which consisted OF
building up Magazine to be vehicle
for reaching charitab1y disposed peo-
pie and the gathering together of
missionary fund for promoting and
maintaining the work; and secondly,
the actual assistance OF missions.

built up from a little quarterly pub

Z anything, of their duties to God; that
they do not believe in the malice of
sin SO long as it remains undetected;
and that they entertain no fear of pun
| ishment in the eternal hereafter. The
substance Of the moral code of many
of them consists in their shreWdness
to evade the punishment Of the civil
! law It would be unreasonable to pre-
| tend that there is no danger ahead.
1t is needless to remind you that they
who are at the same time intellectual
giants and moral pigmies are most
dangerous to the life of a nation. IL
other countries have reaped their har-
vests of misery from such conditions,
can America reasonably hope to escape
unharmed? Are we justified in prom
Using ourselves different fate? The
stability of nation depends more
upon the virtue than upon the intelli-
gence of it's inhabitants.
However distasteful the admission
may be, it is beyond question that the
yearly increase of crime of every char
acter is appalling. To not our divorce
record the most shameful of the whole
Christian world? Our proportion of
divorces to marriages indicates very
unhealthy state of morality. Is not
our murder rate the highest among
the civilized nations?
when about five times as many
murders per million of the population
are committed in the United States as
in Italy, six times as many as in
Canada, eight times as many as in
England and fifteen times as many as
in Germany there is not much room
left for self-complacency on our part.
There must be something wrong some
where. And these unenviable records
are made not by foreign immigrants
who have come to our shores, but
chiefly by natives-by those born here
and educated here.
Among the many other symptoms
of moral decay are the empty cradles
of our American homes; the cheapness
of human life; the lawlessness of un-
scrupulous greed; the moral deca-
dence of the stage; the popular thirst
for the sensational and the salacious.
Evidently our country needs the real
ization Of Christian ideals.
Gentlemen, want your Order Of
five. hundred thousand men to be
mighty phalanx against the growing
unbelief and immortality of our age and
country. I have right to expect you
to be not only as good as the best
but the best of the best-the most
exemplary citizens and the noblest
types of Christian manhood in every
community. Let your ideals be high
and holy. Exhibit in your daily lives
the teachings of the Church. I ex-
hort you to aspire to the highest in
civic life and to the best, in private
conduct. Let your stand be unyield-
ing for the indissolubility of the mar
riage tie; for the sacredness of human
life; for religion in education; for JUS
tice in your dealings with fellowman;
for the observance of all the laws of
God; and then you will deserve we'll
of our beloved country and will COM
mand the admiration of all thoughtful
and righteous citizens"
