This week the Second Catholic Mis-
sionary Congress, under the auspices
of the Catholic Church Extension So
ciety of the United States, held its
sessions in Boston. Five years ago
the first Missionary Congress con-
vened in Chicago under the chairman
ship of the Most Reverend Archbishop
Quigley of that city, Chancellor of the
Extension Society.
During the intervening years the
mission work of the Church has re-
ceived an added impetus from the
establishment of an American For
eign Missionary Society, as well as
from the greater interest which the
Catholics of this country have taken
in the propagation of Catholic truth
in their own and in foreign lands.
The second Congress was convened
for the purpose of deyising ways and
means for bringing about more
thorough coordination of activity on
the part of those who are Iaboring to
spread the faith. Its promoters hope
that it will be instrumental in max
ing the missionary needs Of the
Church better known, thereby procur-
ing more generous contributions for
the support of missionaries and mis-

1t was suggested that the name
American Catholic" be substi-
tuted for Protestant Episcopal, "
but the delegates voted to retain
the old name. They also rejected
an amendment to the church can
ons creating a primary among
Bishops to which one of their
number was to be elected. This
was an attempt to establish a
spiritual headship in the Protes-
tant Episcopal Church similar to
that of the Catholic Church. But
the sentiment was decidedly OPP
posed to the innovation whereby
it was sought to create Protes-
tant Episcopal Pope. +"
The question of revising the
Book Of Common Prayer was also
thrashed out. The House Of Depu-
ties adopted an amendment to the
constitution making it impossible
to change the title page Of the
prayer book or otherwise revise
it without a two-thirds vote OF
the House of Deputies and the
House Of Bishops. Before this
amendment goes into effect il
must be ratified by the House OF
Bishops.

EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.

AS drug alcohol is SO extremely
dangerous that the most eminent men
of science in our day seldom or never
prescribe it. Listen to few of them.
DR.. William Collins, M. p, one of the
most eminent London surgeons, said:
IF alcohol has any place in the treat
ment of disease, as it certainly has in
the production of disease, it is as a
drug prescribed cautiously and in
strictly-defined Doses"
DR.. Davis, of Chicago, has said that
"he never employs in all his practice
an intoxicant" the simple reason.
but convincing one, that there are
other remedies that do as we'll and
the other remedies leave no harmful
trace behind them. Nay, other drugs
are, in some cases at least, better.
We have it on the authority of an
other eminent surgeon, DR.. George
Grille, M. A., London, that the results
of his experiments proved that in
cases OF SHOCK" the state of the suf-
ferer was aggravated by the use of
alcohol, and that ''hypodermic iniec-
ton of strychnine and atropine, and
the use of other substances, are bet
ter calculated to bring the patient out
OF danger than the alcohol"
The terrible danger Of this poison
may be estimated from this one fact,
that the smallest sip Of the weakest
wine or other liquor is sufficient to
arouse the sleeping demon of the
drink-craving which is eating up thou
sands around us and is hurrying them
to their ruin.

THE FACTS OF THE CASE.

Last week we were surprised to
read in the New York Sun of Mon
day that Bishop Weller, of Fond
du Lac, Wis, in the course of a
sermon preached in the Church of
st. Mary the Virgin, New York,
mentioned as "an unusual Incl
dent" the fact that he had just
received whole congregation of
Catholics into the Episcopal
Church. Such a statement COM
ing from one Of the leading High
Church Episcopal Bishops in
America was well calculated to at
tract attention in the religious
world. It's uniqueness served to
cast doubt upon its veracity, and
Investigations carried on in the
meantime have shown that the
statement is entirely misleading.
The facts of the case are as fol
lows: Prior to January, 1911,
there existed in the vicinity of
Montpelier, Wis, three small
Catholic congregations, each one
of which worshipped in its own
church. Owing to the small
number of Catholics in each par
ish it was decided to amalgamate
and form a single congregation,
which was accordingly done, and
new brick church was built by
the combined efforts of the newly
organized congregation. As usual
in such cases, few dissatisfied
Catholic families refused to
cooperate in establishing the new
parish. These, to the number of
seven or eight, held out against
the majority and an effort was
made by interested parties to get
them to join the Episcopal Church.
How far this movement succeeded
is shown by the fact that at re-
cent mission given in the new
church six of the eight protesting
families returned to their former
allegiance.
From this it. is evident that
Bishop Weller's statement that he
had received "a whole congrega-
ton" Of Catholics into the Epis-

On October Is, Governor Sulzer
of New York was found guilty by
the High Court of impeachment
of three of the charges preferred
against him. The following day
he was formally deposed from
Office and the Honorable Martin
III. Glynn, who had been acting
Governor during the impeachment
proceedings, was sworn in as
Governor by Chief Justice
Cullen, of the Court of Appeals.
Robert F. Wagner, of New York,
the majority leader in the Senate,
became Lieutenant Governor of
the State.
Governor Glynn is the first
Catholic to occupy the executive
chair in the State of New York
since colonial days, when Gov
ernor Dongan exercised the duties
of chief magistrate.

The city of St. Paul had a
cleanup" day not long ago
and it needs another of a very diff
ferent kind. The first helped to
remove some of the sources of
physical contagion; but the
sources of moral contagion are al
lowed to send forth their poison
GUS effluvia unrestrained. The re
spectacle and law-abiding citizens
of the community are getting rest
less. They are beginning to won
der when the city officials who
have sworn to enforce the law will
begin to do their duty without
fear or favor. 1t is time that some
attempt was made to purify the
moral atmosphere of the city and
make its streets safe for the weak
est among us.

THE WORK OF ALCOHOL.

Every worker is proud Of what he
turns out. He puts his visions of the
beautiful on canvas and is proud of
the child of his hand and brain. The
railroad builder who pushes the shin
ing rails through ravines, over noun
tains, pitting his engineering skill
against nature, enduring and striving
always, smiles when his goal ia
reached. The saloon also does many
finished piece of work, but it takes
no delight in it. For what is it's prod
uct? The frowsy, blear-eyed, sodden
derelict, destitute Of self-respect,
whose horizon is bounded by the
whisky bottle, is the thing that is
ground out by the saloon. It takes a
clear-eyed, ambitious man and trans
forms him first into a good fellow"
who always wants to borrow money
and is good to himself only, and then
prepares him for membership in the
club which calls for inefficiency, in
stability and dearth of every manly
quality. 1t requires time to produce
the finished article. But when the
saloon gets its tentacles into the
vitals of man its success is assured.
Little by little it scars the brain,
drains the heart of love, makes its
victim see all things through the mist
of rum, and blasts him finally as a
miserable degenerate, who but cum
bers the earth. He is not very nice
looking person, but he IL the saloons

PROTESTANT EPISCOPAL
CONVENTION.

The forty-fourth General Con-
vention of the Protestant Episco-
pal Church of the United States
now in session in New York, has
had to grapple with the all-im-
portant question of divorce, and
its utter helplessness in the face
Of this nationwide calamity is
shown by the fact that it has no
better remedy to suggest than an
amendment to the constitution
which would permit Congress to
enact uniform marriage and di-
vorce laws. The House of Depu-
ties listened to a sweeping denun-
citation of the present system of
divorce from a delegate from the
Diocese of Long Island who bit
terly arraigned our American di-
vorce laws and the methods of
INSCRIPTIONS lawyers who "have
organized systematic and persist
ent attacks for financial gain
upon the domestic life of the
whole country"
1t is hard to say what good can
be accomplished by discussion
of the divorce problem in a
church convention where it is a
matter of common knowledge
that any action taken by the as
sembly is not necessarily binding.
If the Protestant Episcopal
Church is sincere in its desire to
remedy existing conditions and
help stem the tide of divorce In
this country, it can adopt no more
effective method than that of the
Catholic Church which recog-
nizes no divorce under any cir
cumstances. There is no danger,
however, that it will take this
drastic step.
The convention also put itself
on record as opposed to any
change IN the name of the church.

He added that if the govern
ment were allowed to pursue such
a course, it would be possible to
indict a person for sending
through the mails a copy of the
Bible. Judge Foster said that in
sustaining the motion Of the de-
Tense, he was not ruling upon the
question as to whether or not the
articles were obscene, and that
the government might at any time
proceed to reindict.

ON THE TRAIL OF THE
MENACE.

The knights of Columbus, of
Camden, N. j., have offered a re-
ward Of $1,000 for "the arrest and
conviction of the author or auth
ors of libellous story which al
leges the escape of a nun from the
Convent Of the Dominican Sisters
in Camden and her ill-treatment
therein. This amount has been
placed on deposit with the Broad
way Trust Company Of Camden,
and an affidavit has been made by
the treasurer Of the Company that
the deposit was made for the pur-
pose herein set forth.
This action on the part of the
Camden knights is a public chal-
lenge which shows their convic-
ton that the story published by
the Menace is a pure invention for
the purpose of discrediting the
Sisters in the eyes Of the public.
That it has failed in it's purpose is
evident, for Public Prosecutor
Kraft Of Camden, who investigat-
ed the affair, has declared that
there is not the slightest founda-
ton for the charge. It is a malicious
lie told by the Menace gang for
the delectation Of readers whose
appetite for moral filth is insatia-
BILE. The fact that it is told for
the purpose of fomenting anti
Catholic bigotry makes the morsel
all the more tasty to the prurient
subscribers for this vile publica-
ton which stops at nothing in it's
insane attempts to malign Catho-
lies and Catholic institutions.
But this is not the first time
that the Menace has been discred-
tied, nor will it be the last If
every item in it's pages were
shown to be false it would have
little effect upon the majority of
it's readers, because their ideas
regarding the teaching and prac-
tees of the Catholic Church are
as distorted as those Of the men
who are engaged in promoting
the spread of the Menace and fos-
tering the campaign of SANDER of
which it is an exponent.
It would be interesting to
know who is behind this move
ment, and who is furnishing the
financial backing for this cam
paign Of bigotry. Money is nee
essary, and it seems to be forth
coming in unlimited amounts
when needed. Who are interest
ed enough in maligning their fell
low-Catholics to supply the
funds? No one believes that the
Menace has the number of bona
fde subscribers which it claims.
Where, then, does it get the sin
ews of war? If a thorough inves-
tigation were made to clear up
this point, we have no doubt that
the result would be interesting in
more ways than one. 1t would
show that there are many "whit-
ed sepulchres' among our sepa-
rated brethren who, perhaps, oc-
cupy prominent positions in the
communities in which they live

Next week the Sixth Street
Store, on the corner Of Sixth and
Cedar Streets, St. Paul, will be
the mecca Of all who are interest
ed in the revival Of Irish arts and
industries. Beginning on Mon
day, October 81, and continuing
throughout the week, an exhibi-
ton of Irish lace-making and
hand-loom carpet weaving will be
given under the auspices Of the
Gaelic League Of Ireland, and the
method Of weaving these fabrics
will be exemplifed by three Irish
colleens," Miss Bride McLough-
lin, Dundrum, County Dublin,
Miss Mary Cassidy, Kilcar, Coun-
ty Donegal, and Miss Una Nc
Hale, Easkey, County Sligo, who
are skilled art workers Those
who wish to purchase specimens
Of their handiwork will have a
fine assortment Of the choicest
Irish laces, hand-woven Irish rugs
and hand-embroidered Irish lin
ems from which to make a selec-
ton.
This week the exhibition is be-
ing held in the Dayton Dry
Goods Company's store in Mime
apolis, and is attracting general
attention.
Fionan McCollum, Of Cork, who
represents the Gaelic League of
Ireland in its campaign to encour-
age the Irish language and foster
the distinctively Celtic features of
Irish civilization and national life,
is now in the Twin Cities in
charge of the exhibit. He is en-
gagged in the task Of raising $685.
900 a year to help the movement
in Ireland.
In explaining the nature of the
campaign which the Gaelic
League has undertaken in Ireland,
Mr.. McCollum said:
"Owing to British government
hostility to the Irish language the
Gaelic League has been forced to
establish it's own machinery to
keep up and cultivate the speak
ing of Irish in Ireland.
''The League has twelve Irish
colleges in operation and employs
one hundred travelling Irish teach
ers, who go among the people en-
couraging them to speak Irish and
teaching them to read and write
it.
"The League is also making a
big fight to secure recognition for
our language, literature and his
tory in the schools of Ireland,
which are controlled by anti
Irish boards Of education nomi-
mated by the British government
instead of being elected by the
people as such bodies are in the
United States.
Funds are needed to keep up
the fight and to help extend our
travelling teachers of Irish into
every district of the country.
Friends of the Gaelic League in
America have promised to raise
$4,000 a year for this object.
"Judge Martin J. Keogh, of
New Rochelle, N. Y, is the treas
urer for America of the Gaelic
League Fund. All moneys con-
tributed in America are sent in
