ROMAN CHURCH
EXTENSION WORK
Seventh Report Of Missionary Agency
Shows Progress Afternoon Mass.

A very interesting document is in the
seventh annual report of the Catholic
Church Extension Society OF the United
States. Just issued. and one that will af-
ford Roman Catholics much pleasure. II
shows large accomplishments and sturdy
growth, and, in addition, demonstrates
the great interest which the laity as well
as the clergy take in the work OF this
American mission society, interest on the
part OF the former which took practical
shape in the way of fund contributions
and subscriptions to its two magazines.
The receipts for the fiscal year were

$4,000 OF the magazines, Extension is
published for adults and has attained a

OF the missionary spirit among the little
ones increased its subscription list during
the year from Lo0O to 100 and 1t has

since the year 1725. when the church was

first brought to America by the Dutch
Reformed Church when the Dutch en-
tered New York The Heidelberg Cate
chism is the catechism OF the state church
in Holland. and 1t Is also the oficial
standard OF the Dutch Reformed de-

While the leaders in the German Re-

procedure is to make their own denom-

may be stronger. So 1913 has been fixed
upon as denominational year. 1t not

To-day marks the soth anniversary of
the publication by the Elector Frederick,
of the Heidelberg Catechism. The Re-

making the occasion one OF special cele-
bration throughout their whole denonena-

versapies that occur this year, as we'll

the everyday man who does not do much
thinking about ''catechisms," just what
this jubilee is all about.
For catechisms are not taken largely
into account by the man of the street,
and yet they are credited with being
more influential in shaping the thought
of people than much literature that
makes more stir in the world. The FASH

CONFERENCES ON
WORLD MISSIONS
Leaders Hold Second Meeting-Around-
the-WorId Campaign-Mission-
ary Figures of 1912.

Last year. in quite a tentative way, and
somewhat as an experiment, home and
foreign missionary leaders informally
Gined together. There was nothing be-
yond a social recognition. but that was
sufficient TO lead this year to what, in
effect, will be joint missionary confer
ences.
During the week four interdenomina-
tional conferences of international i'm
portance have been in session in New
York City-the board of managers Of the
Missionary Education Movement, the ex-
ecutive committee of the Federal Coun-
Gil of Churches of America, the confer
ence of Foreign Mission Boards of the
United States and Canada, and the Home
Mission Council.
The second annual dinner of the Off
GERS, members, and friends of the Home
and Foreign Mission Boards of the
United States and Canada was held at
Hotel AstOr on Tuesday evening.
The dinner brought together the lead
ers, who are practically determining the
policies of denominational enterprises.
Closer cooperation and increased eff
cheney are being promoted in this way.
The programme included the following
speakers: The Venerable Archdeacon
Cody. of Toronto, Canada; Prof. Shailer
Matthews. d. D., of the University of
Chicago; DR.. Charles F. Thompson, sec
retary of the Board of Home Missions
Of the Presbyterian Church; Rev. CTR
neiius IT. Patton, d. D., secretary of
the American Board OF Commissioners
for Foreign Missions. ana DR.. Robert z.
Speer, of the Presbyterian Church.
While leaders of the men and re-
Egion forward movement are making a
round-the-world tour, a new plan is be-
ing proposed for the laymen's mission
ary movement The scheme has been
submitted to officials of foreign mission
societies by ]. Campbell White, the pro-
jector of this movement =.
The plan contemplates the selection of
seventy men, after the number of the
seventy disciples of Christ at one time
recorded. These men are to charter
ship and invite to join them many other
men of America, and during 1913 they are
to journey around the world, visiting
the mission stations and studying con-
ditions. Speeches are to be made to the
workers and the converts on the fields,
and during the time the ship is be-
tween ports those aboard OF it are to
pray, to study, to plan.
Returning to the United States, the
seventy men, filled with information and
enthusiasm, are to enter upon a five
years campaign, visiting all cities and
talking missions to all who will listen.
Former campaigns are to be eclipsed.
The expense is estimated at $4,000
year, or for five years at s2,50O0o0. This
sum can be furnished, it is claimed. by
men Of America who are increasing their
wealth rapidly. 1t is confessed that no
apology will be offered for demanding
sums 50 large. The campaign concluded,
the year 1S30 the anniversary Of the
landing of the Pilgrims, will be fittingiy
celebrated by the seventy and by others.

compiled and were discussed at the

AS the curtain rises on the first
act of ''Ihe Final Settlement" one
would think they were going to wit

stage beautifully set with birthday
decorations in honor of Virginia

story of the play briefly told is, all
Virginia's friends are there to well
come her, young James Kearney,
from Killarney, has deposited his
money in the Colonel's bank, Tracy
Gilmore the cas1a1a tries to poison

in his insidious way. AS the Colonel

desires to propitiate Kearney.

in love with her on sight and decides
to leave his money in the bank a
year or so longer. This in no way

win Virginia for himself, but UNI

The writer has witnessed Mr.. Mclean
play many roles and through many
seasons. Likewise he has seen Mr..
Faversham cast more congenially,
1t has been his fortune to witness per-
formances of every Shakespearean
star of note dating back to Thomas w.
Keene, with the lone exception of Ed
win Booth, and therefore speaks with
a semblance of knowledge. The best
comparison between the two is that
one is the scholar and the other the
sage of the classic drama.
Neither of the three ladies of the
cast, have a great opportunity. Miss
Tyler gets all possible out Of the role
of Portia, likewise does Miss Jane
Wheatley, of Calpurnia, wife of Gaze
sar. Miss Elsie Oldham, as servant
to Brutus, has barely a speaking
part.
Mr.. Faversham has, fine cast to
support him. The Caesar of Thomas
F.. Tracey was a finished one, care
fully rendered and of fine conception.
Ernest Rowan's Cassius, Arthur Ell
liott's Casca, Manart Kippen's CHINA,
John Edmund's Trebonius, Walter De
Queries Decius Brutus, and the re-
naming roles Of the cas-: were ably
executed. There is much merit to the
production. 1t is complete and the
skill of celebrities has been used to
furnish the accessories of scenery,
historical costumes and music. We
admire Mr.. Faversham's pluck and
ambition in attempting such a produc-
ton. He is an. admirable gentleman,
scholar and finished actor. and II
he furnished the funds ) for staging
this, probably the best production OF
IsJulius Caesar" it is, to be hoped that
he attains. financial success through

sister. The evidence seems con-
elusive and Mearney loses Virginia
for the time being. AS the colonel
with his fine sense of Sothuern chiv-
airy cannot permit Kearney to marry
his daughter, when he owes duty to
another. The little sister learning
how Glennon has lied to her, makes
one last appeal to him to be man
and do right or she will confess all.
Kearney is being hunted in the noun
tains by the friends of Henk NARROW
Mary's faiher, whom they think kill
ed him, but who wa4 really murdered
by GlennOn. Jessie tells Virginia the
whole truth. This scene rises to
the very heights of dramatic intensity
and Kearney forces Glennon to make
the Final Settlement OF his life.
While the story Of the play is ex-
ceptionaily strong, it is by no means
devoid Of comedy. Jas. Keaney
making love to Virginia in his IL
imitable Irish way convulses the
audience with laughter. To express
it in the cernacalular Of the day,
"The Final Settlement" is a play
with the punch, and as you leave
the theatre, you will will say have
heard aati seen something stronger
than the a.erage sermon, that while
I have been assured, has made me
think, something that points the way
to become better men and women.

teeth was the keynote of the talk
with its reference to the childhood
rays and continuance throughout
life. DR.. Howell told of the dan
gers that lurked In the mouth from
disregard of the teeth and what in
Vulnerable diseases have and could
emanate from such a source He ap-
pealed to the parents and the den
lists to cooperate and save the chill
dren any possible future ills and suf-
ferings by proper attention to the
