RIGoTRY DENOUNCED.

The letter of the Most Reverend
Archbishop Moeller deploring the fact
that Catholic candidates for Office
were subjected to attack on account
of their religion, and which was read
in all the churches of the Cincinnati
Archdiocese the Sunday preceding the
election, drew from we'll known Gin
cinnnati minister the following:
Mohawk Presbyterian Church,
November 2, 1914.
Archbishop Henry Moeller, Moeller
Avenue, Norwood Heights, Ohio:
My Dear Archbishop read with
great interest and pleasure your let
ter in the morning papers today. 1
concur most heartily with your sense
of injury inflicted by politicians on
candidates for Office of the Roman
Catholic faith. Some politicians, who
are active in the business complained
of are, however, very anxious to Sc
cure the Catholic vote when they run
for Office.
wish to say there is no more rea-
son for selecting Catholics for such
unpatriotic and un-American treat
ment than for the selection of Pres
byterians, Baptists, Episcopalians or
Lutherans and such a course ought to
be resented most emphatically at the
polls.
Yours in high esteem,
(Signed) Rev. Peter Robertson, D. D.,
l..s,,s.....I Pastor.

may be very convenient, as it calls
for no discrimination; it requires
neither learning nor thought, but can
be played off under all circumstances
by almost any polemic with about the
same effect. It's strength consists
mainly in calling nicknames, in re-
peating outrageous charges without re-
gard to any contradiction from the
other side; in drumming over thread
bare commonplaces received by tradi-
ton from the easy credulity of times
past; in huge exaggerations, vast
distortions; and bold, insulting in
situations thrown out at random in
any and every direction. But, how
ever convenient all this may be, re-
Quiring little learning and less thought,
and no politeness or charity whatever,
it is high time to see that it is a
system of tactics which needs, in
truth, only a slight change of circufn-
stances at any. time to work just the
opposite way from that it is meant to
work. The vanity and impotency of it

precisely as men are brought to look
at things with their own eyes; and
then the result is that sensible and
well-bred people-not only those who
go by the textbook of a sect, but such
as move in a wider range of thought
and have some better knowledge of
the world; political and literary men
seeing how they have been imposed
upon by the current slang, are very
apt to be taken with a sort of quiet
disgust toward the whole interest
which they find thus badly defended;
and thus to look favorably in the same
measure on the other side, as being,
at so many points, plainly an injured
and prosecuted cause"

Never send them until you have at

It all depends. The rarer old and
foreign ones are sold individually or
in albums to amateur collectors. The
ordinary stamps are sold to European
wholesale dealers, as mentioned above,
at the rate of Is cents per pound.
They are frequently used for orna-

COLLECTING STAMPS FOR MIS-
SIONS.

The steadily increasing needs of the
foreign missions, especially at the
present time, in consequence of the
great European war, urge the neces-
sity of securing new means of support,
writes Rev. Bruno Hagspiel, S. V. D.
AS such the collection of Cancelled
stamps has proved a very profitable
means, and it was indeed happy
thought to make this favorite sport
also serviceable to higher purpose.
The good to be derived by persever-
ance and generosity in this respect is
best shown by the results attained in
Belgium, Holland, and Germany,
where several collection centres have
been organized.
From 1S90-1904 the students of the
Clerical Seminary at Liege realized
a net profit of over 100000 francs
($20,000) from the sale of Cancelled
stamps, tinfoil and similar articles,
devoting the sum exclusively to the
cause Of the Belgian Congo Missions.
From 1904-1905 they collected nearly
SO million stamps and several hun
dreds pounds of tinfoil, the proceeds
of which enabled them to distribute
upward of $500 francs to the various
missionary societies in the Congo.
During the following years they Ia
bored with the same admirable zeal
and success for the benefit of the
missions. Since its existence up to
1911 the Liege collection centre
erected five Christian villages, IS
mission colonies, and one hospital, and
collected 175,00O francs.
Next to this mention must be made
of the mission Friends Enterprise"
enterprise des Anis de Mission) at
the Diocesan Seminary at Namur,
which founded twelve mission colo
mics, and collected $1,000 francs
Similar results results have been OBJ
tanned in Malines and Bruges.
Holland was the first to follow the
example of the Belgian seminaries.
Soon the Work of Charity for the
Support of the Holland Missionaries"
came into existence in the seminary
at Roermond. During the sixteen
years of its activity the society col.
lected $4,000 marks ($11,O00) for the
missions and this money was derived
almost exclusively from the sale OF
cancelled stamps, tinfoil, etc.
Even small Luxembourg contributed
several hundred dollars for the Work
of the Propagation of the Faith
through collections made in the vari-
Gus seminaries and colleges.
On the twelfth of January, 1912,
Father Joseph Stein died at Siggen,
Wurtemberg; he was generally known
as the greatest stamp of our
times. He was ordained priest in
st. Louis, Mo-, and after laboring for
fourteen years as missionary priest
in this archdiocese, he returned to his
native country. 1t is almost beyond
comprehension how in spite of his
numerous duties this simple and hum
bic priest found time to achieve such
singular results for the missions. To-
wards the end of his life he was in
a position to send in the following
account to the Catholic Missions"
iFrefburg):
Having Iabored for S3 years in be-
half of the poor. missions, 1 now de-
sire at the termination of my work

ceivea and also OF the proceeds gained
