Cardinals Warning.

Cardinal Gibbons. of Baltimore: Cardi.
nal Farley. of New York. and Arch
bishop Prendergast. of Philadelphia, con-
stituting the Catholic commission fol
negro and Indian missions, state in their
annual appeal to American Catholics that
conditions obtaining among the latter fill
them with grave concern. THE far too
prevailing heedlessness of religion" OBJ
serve these prelates in their appeal,
"blighting at all times. has in recent
years grown so great that it is gnawing
into our very vitals, enfeebling Catholic
religious life. vitlating our family. weak
ening the faith of not a few. and causing
a loss which. while not Yet great. can
not but increase vastly as the years go
10y. and our very wealth, II used only to
procure pleasure and promote ambition,
enfeebles more and more our whole re-
ligious make up. How long" ask the
leaders, do American Catholics think
this corrupting process will last?"
Work of Catholics among negroes and
Indians. for which this appeal is made,
reports striking progress during the last
few years. The Indian work Is chiefly
educational, and is widely scattered in
New York and in the Rocky Mountain
regions. Some of the schools formerly
Catholic have been taken over by the
government, teachers and all.
