~ IFTY years ago no portion Of the
II Bible was translated into the Jap

in any language allowed to be circu-
lated in Japan. twenty-five years ago
the complete bible in what is called the
authorized version was printed Dur

language has greatly developed and be-

CATHOLICS IN AMERICA
TEAUGURATE EXTEN SION WORK.

The Catholic Missionary congress,
Just held in Boston. started efforts to
unite all Catholic missionary agencies
in America, or at least TO coordinate
them Immediately the Catholic church
in this country ceased to be mis-
siouary jurisdiction, as II did only a
few years ago, Catholics inaugurated
work for extension at home and mis-
siOns in all foreign lands. There was
formed in New York q Catholic MIS-
sionary union, which was and is an eX-
preston of missionary zeal by the
Paulist fathers A House Of STUDIES
was built by the side of the Cathollc
university at BrOOkland. Washington,
through efforts Of the late Rev Alex
P Doyle, a Pauist leader, and work
successfully begun to furnish to Cath
ole bishops throughout the south, and
to some extent IN the west, missionary
priests for extension work.
The great Catholic missionary So
eiety Of the world is that for the pro-
pagation Of the faith. with head offices
in Lyons, France. The French are Dy
far the largest financial supporters OF
IT. But of late years American Cath
olics have Joined in its support and the
United States now ranks next TO
France, and the archdiocese Of New
York is the-1argest contributor outside
Of France. Next there came recOgni-
tion of the fact that men are wanted
for foreign fields as wei as money,
and so a Foreign Mission society was
formed with headquarters at Ossinlng
on the Hudson. 1t is to educate young
men for foreign fields

plans In absence of instructions this
board has in the past allied itself with
the conference of foreign missions Of
the United States and Canada and been
active in it. It has also belonged to
the Home Mission council, but has
never taken much part in it, or con-
tributed its quota to the expense.
Bishops forbade membership in the
council, and refused to allow mission
board cooperation. The appeal for a
broader basis, which president Lloyd
made before both houses Of the con
vention, was met with limitations that
are narrower than before. 1t is said
the board will be compelled TO with
draw from both organizations, foreign
and home. The convention defeated
also the provision intended to make
impossible a change Of name, and that
controversy is said to more than like
" to break out again Meanwhile,
church unity as propagated by Episco-
palians, distrusted by others before, is
jeered at now openly. and it is admitted
that the whole cause of unity is ire
mendously injured by the very reIi-
gious body that had been foremost in
prOpagating it.

Y. NJ. c. A. To WORK
AMONG LINER PASSENGERS.


The newest scheme Of the Y. NJ c. A.
is to station a secretary on the Atlantic
liners The experiment has been made
with one ship of one line, and negotia-
tons are now in progress to put secre-
taries on ships of other lines, especial
" on those that bring over largest
numbers of immigrants. In the eXper-
iment thus far it is found not only
that the future Americans who are
aboard are interested, but that saloon
passengers are interested as well. The
field of work is not a small one. A
million people a year come this way,
and 100000 a year go the other.
The method followed by this Atlantic
liner secretary is to provide moving
pictures and graphophones, picture
books about America and railroad
guides, and having one man who can
speak half a dozen languages to give
lectures several times daily upon
phases of American life. Assistance is
afforded privately in the way Of sug-
gestion and information, and cards Of
Introduction are distributed to Y. n c.
AS in the towns to which the immi-
grants are ticketed.
The Y. NJ. c. a has IS secretaries in
European ports OF departure. These do
not remain at the ports only, but go
into the interior from whence the i'm
migrants come. They cooperate with
the government in seeing to it that
undesirables do not embark. On ar
rival at this end three secretaries are
able to speak 26 languages, and they
see many a day that not one immigrant
is run across who cannot be conVersed
with in his own tongue. Other agencies
besides the Y. NJ. c. A, including the
Bible societies, are doing this port
work, but the 2. NJ. c. A. is the first
to attempt Atlantic liner secretaries.

CHURCH UNITY RECEIVES
SETBACK At TIE CONVENTION

on the very last afternoon Of the
recent Episcopal convention its house
Of bishops took such reactionary steps
as amazed the whole Episcopal church,
and il is feared gave the Episcopal
commissions plans for church unity
such a setback that it will not recover
for years. Never before, it is said,
have bishops so seriously and so en-
phaticaIly differed from the house OF
deputies, the popular branch, and not
expecting it at this time leaders among
the deputies had given out interviews
outlining progressive steps that the
Episcopal church proposed to take.
The actions OF the bishops related
to membership of the Episcopal church
in the Federal Council of churches,
and in allowing the Episcopal general
board Of missions to cooperate with
missionary societies of other bodies
in the United Missionary campaign Of
next March, and in other federative

OrgosOIO Band Kills
Three More Sardinians

Rome, Italy. Nov. 1.-The feroclous
brigand band of OrgosoIo has just
murdered three more jewellers in that
i'll famed Sandman town. This time
the victims are two brothers named
Sucu, and their man servant. They
had defied a warning delivered to them
when their youngest brother was shot
dead one evening last June while in
his garden beside his aged mother,
who today finds herself bereft of all
her six sons and 4 daughter. The
brigands apparently reused the victims
from sleep, and then shot them. All
three were under 80. Despite an ex-
traordinary concentration of troops in
the district, it has been impossible to
hunt down a single outlaw.

RECOMMEND AUSTRALIAN
rlI y E.nR uInI Il u ]


An Australian plan for bible reading
in public schools is being recommended
for use in the United States. This
plan, in its first part consists of bible
selections for all five mornings of eve
~ week throughout the school year
taken wholly from the old testament
They are of such character that Catho-
les, Jews and Pr0testants approve
Moreover, they are selections that ap-
peal to the heroic in young people,
and that are Of special value as ntera-
ture- There are messages from early
poet prophets, stories about heroic men
who went about doing good. What
wise men of old said about riches and
industry, and stories of songs and OF
shepherds.
The educators within the churches
have long sought to increase home b.
bic readings, and have arranged selec-
lions for such readings with reference
to the Sunday school lessons Of the
week, so that parents, teachers and
children might study the same pas
sages and make use OF the same com
mentarieS. 1t IS now proposed that the
lessons in the public schools, insofar
as they are, taken from the old testa-
ment, shall coordinate with the Otner
two SERIES and children hear the same
stories in both schools and at home.
The Australian plan puts into effect
addresses by teachers on bible charac-
tiers like Job, Isaiah, David and Solo
mon of the same character as are
given in public schools upon Shakspere,
Browning, Washington and Lincoln, 1t
being held there that mere reading OF
the bible is not sufficient. 1t is now
being urged by moral and social com
mission with headquarters in Washing
ton, and by agencies in some churches,
that leaders in all religious bodies in
this country get together and agree
upon a series OF readings, so that states
compelling bible readings IN pubic
schools may have the best possible
series, and states not permitting or
requiring them may consent to do so.
