the game of the Modernists, though it
agrees that the Volksverein does not
as yet realize this, although it goes
on to say, the very name of "a Volks-
verein for Catholic Germany" shows
that it is society for Catholic and
Protestant, Socialist and ATHEIST, and
this will result in doing away with the
influence of the clergy and cutting the
Volksverein off from Rome which is
what the Modernists are endeavoring
to accomplish. 1t then falls foul of the
other great Catholic society the Cor

sive Popes who, since 1876, have again
and again bestowed their blessing on
this society, while Plus x only a
short time ago expressed his ap-
prevail of it to Monsignor Ehses. The
organ of the Volksverein has now
issued a reply to the "Maasbode," in
which it categorically denies the
charges levelled against it, and says,

journals who have asked why it did

Missionary Difficulty in Tanganika.
| A new specimen of the difficulties
under which our Catholic missionaries
labor is offorded by the action of the
Protestant Mission at Tanganika. Dis
sensions had arisen some time ago
between the Protestant Herrenhute
and the White Fathers who serve the
German Catholic mission in this por-
ton of Africa. 1t was understood,
however that the differences had been
patched up, when the Chief of the
Herrenhute brings up the whole
matter again in the columns of the
Frankfurtezeitung. The Superior of
White Fathers writes to say that he
proposes to leave this last attack I'M
answered, as he does not wish to re-
open the matter, feeling that such dis
sensions are a grave obstacle in the
work of the missions.
Westminster Cathedral.
In England some disappointment is
expressed at the delayed return of
| Cardinal Bourne who is still in Rome
and will not be back to take part in
the Christmas festival. His Eminence
received the British Ambassador last
week, who came specially to honor
him, and he sang High Mass for the
first time in his titular Church of st.
Pudenziana which was crowded by
members of the English Colony. The
Bishop of Cambysopolis will take His
Eminence's place at the solemn High
Mass at midnight and on Christmas
day in Westminster Cathedral. The
latest details of the work on that great
monument of the Catholic revival,
show that great deal of marble work
in and about the sanctuary has been
completed while the chapels of the
Blessed Sacrament, Our Lady, The
Holy Souls, IS. Gregory and Angus
tine, the Sacred Heart, and st.
Thomas of Canterbury, the last be
ing Cardinal Vaughan's chantry
chapel, are all completed, their
walls being entirely lined with marbles
and mosaics. The sum spent up to
October this year, including work on
the cloisters and the Cathedral Hail.

lies as well as serving the purposes
