Washington. July 1.-THE best con-
stitutional hair splitters In Congress
admit that they are It sea over the
question that has arisen as 10 whether
the states should elect 4su reprSsenta-
tives to the electoral college, or 53l,
on the basis OF representation In the
next Congress. The question is one
that IS puzzlng the best minds every
where
state shall appoint, in such manner as
the LEGISLATURE may direct, a number
OF electors equal 10 the whole number
OF senators and Representatives TO
which the state may be entitled in
Congress This language has been
open 10 conflicting interpretations and
there was much doubt regarding II as
far back as 1892. at which time II
was enacted that the number of cleo
Senators and Representatives TO which
the several states are by law entitled
a the time when the President and
Vice President TO be chosen come into
Office. II is by reason of this VEN
cradle statute that the number of cleo
tors TO be chosen In November must be
equal to the total number of Senators
and Representatives in the next Con-
ress, beginning March 4. 1918. the time
when the newly elected President and
e-President shall take the oath of
Office.
AS compared with the number of

Der to be chosen in November--53l---
shows an increase OF %. This. Increase
becomes particularly interesting now.

We Need the Foreign Mission Spirit.

Then there is another reason, and
this one tinged partially with the
spirit of selfishness. It is one of the
anomalies of the world-the more we
give of our own Faith the more vigor-
GUS it becomes and the more mex
haustible are it's resources. Catho-
licity grows deeper and stronger
where the Foreign Mission spirit is
fostered. 1t is then no longer con-
fined to narrow racial environments.
In addition to all this, the following
words of Archbishop Ireland are pre-
eminently true: Apart from it's
other merits, a Foreign Mission Sem
mary will be of inestimable value to
Seminaries having as their prime OBJ
ject the formation of priests for the
ministry in America itself. To those
Seminaries, Foreign Mission Sem
mary, situated in close proximity, will
continuously offer in vivid heroic
from the example of that zeal in the
winning of souls, which should be
found in all priests, wherever their
lot is cast, however difficult or how
ever easy the circumstances be that
surround their ministerial labors.

THE MISSIONARY SPIRIT

We see numerous men and women
gladly giving their lives and all they
hold dear to the realization OF
Christ's last will. With zeal and en-
thusiasm they undergo hardships
and privations to bring the light of
the world to those who sit in darkness
and the shadow of death
Who gave to the Church those
souls? Who evoked this magnificent
missionary spirit? We must acknowl-
edge that God is showing us what we
have to do. We must obey His call,
and further as far as we can the con-
version of the world to Christ. We
are not called upon to make heroic
sacrifices for the missions, but there
is a duty to take an interest in sup
porting the laborers in the field, when
we cannot give ourselves personally
to the cause.

MARYkNOLL.
The Nazareth of the Foreign Mission
Seminary.

Dear friend:
After eight months at Hawthorne,
our Bethlehem, we have found our
Nazareth, to which we will prepare
at once to move.
The site selected for our home will
be called Maryknoll, in honor of our
Blessed Lady. 1t is about thirty
miles north of New York City, part
in Ossining and part in New Castle.
We have large tract of land on
which are two frame houses and sew
eral smaller buildings that, with some
necessary improvements, will serve
our needs this coming year and per-
haps longer. The greater portion of
the property lies fully five hundred
feet above sea level, and commands
a view of the Hudson River, with the
Catskills beyond.
We feel that this news will bring
pleasure to you, a friend, as it has to
ourselves, after much searching and
many disappointments. If you have
not already sent a gift for the Sem
mary, can you see your way to pay
for few feet of this land at the rate
of one cent square foot?
Sincerely yours in Christ,
JAMES A. WALSH.

The Catholic Foreign Mission So
ciety of America has been legally in
corporated in the State of New York,
so that it may have a perpetual ex-
istence and be able to hold funds I'M
der a legal title.
The chorus of APPROPRIATIONS that the
Foreign Mission Society has received
from the Bishops sounds this particu-
lar note: The time is fully ripe for
the work-indeed, it might have be-
gun a decade of years ago. The
Church in the United States must not
only follow the American flag, with
it's helpfulness, but it must push even
beyond into the heather lands to
help the soul that is lying PROSTATE
under the domination of heather
error.
The Catholic Church not National.
The Catholic Church is the Univer-
sal Church, and it must not be iden-
titled anywhere in the world with any
one nationality to the exclusion of
others so as to make it appear that
it is a national church. If, perchance,
it must come represented by some
special type of priest, the type must
either be varied, or for the time be-
ing be the type that they love the
best
America Favored in the East.
America is one of the favored ma
tons now in the Orient, and for this
reason there should be Americans to
bear the banners of Catholicity. This
reason alone should create the Amer
lean Foreign Missionary Seminary.
There is very great need in China and
elsewhere in the East to persuade the
people that everything American is
not Protestant: that the Catholic
Church fiourishes in the United
States, beyond all other churches.
