The Other Side.
Now try to imagine how differently
you would have Jared if one or both
of your parents had known practically
nothing of religion and cared great
deal less about it; if not only your par
ents had been in that sad condition
but also hundreds of your neighbors, if
instead of going to Mass on Sunday
they went to work. If you had never
seen the grown folks bless them
selves or heard them say a prayer?
If they never instructed you?
In word, if your infancy and youth
had suffered from such an absence of
religious instruction and such an in
lection of bad example, would you be
a practical Catholic today, without the
special Intervention of some outside
help? Just this sad condition prevails
in many, if not most Of our foreign
settlements of today. The mission So
cieties of the different denominations
are spending millions to attract and
pervert them. Sewing clubs, kinder
gartens, and domestic economy schools
established and supported by the
means of these mission societies are
an added danger to the faith of the
little ones. These places are often
the free dispensaries of clothing and
groceries. They take the little ones
off the overworked mothers hands
and provide them with kindergarten
amusements and numerous treats. Sad
as it surely is, it is just as surely a
fact that very many mothers not only
to these places, but even insist upon
it. Good prizes are offered at set in
tervals as rewards, for regular attend
ance during the intervening periods
At first thought it is surprising how
quickly the children show symptoms
of imbibed Professionalism But the
marvel ceases when we reflect that
their little minds and hearts have new
er been prepared to resist these influ-
ences. knowledge and love of Catho-
licity cannot be said to have been in
previous possession.
The individuals in charge of these
sectarian centers are usually very
amiable and very tactful women. The
children come to love them for their
personal charm of manner as we'll as
for their kindness. They narrate to
them the Gospel stories and teach
them to love the Lord Jesus. The
children stay with them through their
tender years, deprived of doctrinal in
struction and the food of the Sacra-
ments, and graduate into the ways of
worldliness. with no other gain than a
few natural virtues and with the IRE
parable loss of their faith.

A NEW PROBLEM.
Our immigrants.

The founding of Gary, Ind, as an i'm
mense manufacturing center and the
almost sudden establishment of an en-
tire industrial district, followed by an
overwhelming influx of Catholic labor
ers Of various nationalities and foreign
descent, mostly poor and utterly I'M
familiar with American church af-
fairs, have created for the diocesan adj
ministration situation of unprece-
denied and intricate difficulties. De-
lay in providing for the religious wants
of these poor people in the faith
would have disastrous results, and
hence from the beginning the devoted
ordinary of the diocese and his CO.
workers have made it evident that i'm
mediate and helpful action is neces-
sity and sacred duty. Money raised
by the Diocesan Aid Society is provid-
ing convenient sites, on which are
being erected the necessary buildings
for church and school purposes.
Flood of Foreign immigration.
1t is surprising, even to astonish-

people, and even of those whose bust
ness is the care Of souls, realize that
the flood of present foreign immigra-
ton into this country has presented a
distinctly new and important religious
problem to the Catholic Church in
America. The Church is in danger of
grievous loss from this lack of real
ization and the consequent neglect Of
the means essential to the favorable
solution of the problem. The first gen.
Grafton sprung from these foreign-born
people will number millions. Will the
Catholic Church have these, as in the
case of the Irish, German or Poles?
The realization will not be matter
of course, but will require great deal
of special care, precautions and means.
Religious Indifference is a ravaging
contagion among them and has been
inherited by them. Irish, Germans
and Polish came to America heroical-
ly attached to their religion, well in
structed in it. In fact, in many cases,
they left home and country rather
than live upon the reward of its denial.
Religious truth and religious practice
were the first lessons of their chill
dren's mental awakening.
The Church was the center of their
infant world. Prayer, the Mass, the
Sacraments, quickly became to them
words of meaning, as well from the
life and conversation of their elders
as also from the instruction of the
freside and Catholic school. The priest
was pointed out to them as the visible
embodiment of Gods power and good
ness. To him they were taught to
reveal their consciences, and from him
receive the counsel for the guidance
of their lives. Nine-tenths of my read
ers have but to recall their own child
hood to fill out the picture, and real
ize how a knowledge and love of their
religion came to them almost ineVita-

can people; it has been forced upon
them by a sectarian animus which
would have religion in the schools
only on terms destructive to the
State, and at last to religion itself.
There is a way for the public schools
to furnish religious instruction to all
who will take it; that way will be
found when sectarian ambitions are
subordinated to the public veal; signs
are not lacking of the change of
heart which will permit the reproach
to be removed from the schools of
the Republic, reproach for which
the schools and the genius of our in
situations are in no way responsible.
The protest of the Catholic con-
science against abominable dances is
worthy of note. Lessons may
be drawn from the protest; here is
one: The Puritan when he fought for
democracy in Church and State and
for the abolition of primative heathen-
ism from the pleasures of the people,
who taught that a high spiritual vo-
cation was not for an occasional saint,
but for all mankind, was doing Cath
olic work This is said in no bitter
or jesting mood. Catholic hands may
yet hang a Catholic chaplet upon
Adams statue of the Puritan, for
where is Catholicism's presence so
replete with honor and resource, or
it's future so suspicious as in the COM
munities where the Puritan estab-
lished constitutionalism in the State,
universalized education, and set up in
the Church the ideal of real and
not merely putative holiness for
every man of Catholic and Puritan
origin? Who fears to claim unity for
them? Only selfishness and fear di-
vide them. Fair will this world be;
fair the prospects of humanity when
the last obstacle to their unity is
swept away. Since the first Inaugural
ton of Mckinley the march of ideas
has been rapid: Wilson and Bryan
have distanced the Progressives in a
pace set not by themselves. Wash
ington city is by no means to retain
within itself all the advance of the
new time. 1t is not to be social and
political and social and political only.
Beliefs great days are ahead, before
and not behind, and a Catholic Chris
tianity uniting and not dividing the
hearts of men, DISCRIMINATING and not
colonizing and cultivating evil shall
make gladder and holier the heart of
mankind.

CATHOLIC CITIZENSHIP.

A disquietude has broken out in
some non-Catholic circles about the
reliability of Catholic citizenship in
these States, writes Rev. John McCar-
thy, Pastor Wagner Place Methodist
Church, ST. Louis, Mo. Since the first
Caucasian foot was set upon these
shores Catholicism has been part
when it has not been all of America.
And history bears the record of no
test before which the Catholic citizen
ship of the Republic has failed. And
to this broad historic fact that con-
vention added yesterday the weight
of an official utterance, given forth
on an official occasion and in the face
of persistent challenges of the good
faith of the Catholic Church and
masses. Let lovers of democracy put
away fear and thank God and take
courage.
Yes, let democrats" take courage,
for in "the Church." pledged and re-
pledged to democracy, progress has
an asset of Unreasonable value, upon
which it is already realizing in the
Church's antagonism toward divorce
and the intruding immoralities of
these new times. The strength of all
who love humanity for Christ's sake
is not too great to cope with the mis-
chief and errors of the worlds prac-
tees. There is hope also in the atti-
tude of this convention toward the
public schools Their GodleSSneSs is
proclaimed; their abolition is not so
confidently predicted. Their Goddess
ness so far as any formal teaching is
concerned must be admitted, and to
their Godlessness may be attributed in
part the deplorable license of our
times. But that Godlessness has
never been by the will of the Ameri-

ACTIVE IN SOUTH
ERN MISSION FIELDS.

The monks of the order of st. Bene-
dict are laboring zealously in south
ern mission fields for the conservation
and preservation of the Faith in souls
of the poor down there. They have
been in West Virginia ministering
to the Slavs and Italians, and have
done much toward keeping these poor
. people within the pale of the church.
Father Athanasius, o. S. B., of the
West Virginia mission has been ap-
pointed by his abbot as one of the
priests who are to learn the Slavish
language, and for that reason he has
been sent to Hungary to study the
Hungarian language, and this task he
completed in year, so he is back on
the mission which is the great work
of his life.
Father Anthony, too, has done great
things there.
The Catholic Church Extension So
ciety donated the altar for one of
their missions, but the church is as
yet sparsely furnished.
"It is easier for me to state what
we have in the church than what we
need" said Father Anthony lately.
Besides the altar, we have a few
candlesticks and a chalice, one white
vestment, altar cards and pews and
two statues. This is all we have and
the rest is needed"
Wants School.
But the great need of the church
in my mission is the school. That is
the crying necessity.
1--WE have five regular missions and
several smaller stations. In our whole
territory we have no more than TWEEN
ty American families. The rest are
all foreigners. Right in our central
mission have sixty school children,
but no Catholic school. I am trying
to do my best regarding religious in
struction, teaching the little ones
daily for about twenty minutes after
dinner before they go back for the
afternoon school. But it is hard to
get the poor children after they are
tired out from their regular work, and
Protestant influence is so strong here
that l am utterly at a loss what to do.
The fact that I have no Catholic
school has worried me so much with
in the last year that l cannot stand
the strain any longer without at least
making a trial of starting school. /
feel certain that Catholic school
would be a success here, as the near
est one is two hundred miles away.
A coal company here would give lot,
but the people are poor miners and
can expect nothing from them. am
not much of a beggar, but would GER
tainly beg for this, no matter how
hard it would be-"
And here Father Anthony asks a
question:
"If 1 would go to Chicago and see
you personally, could you and would
you give me some addresses of rich
benefactors who might help me in this
undertaking?
The work of this Jealous priest is
of vast Importance, not only for the
salvation of the souls of those chill
dren, but for the souls of a future gen.
GRAFTON and generations down as long
as the world shall last.
What will you do to conserve the
faith in the souls that Christ loves?

To Attack by Sea and Air

Americans account Of his visit to

striking picture of the deserted docks
at these ports. He says:
sIn the harbor l was shown three
huge liners, transformed by coat of
gray paint and yellow tunnels for the
invasion of England. I was told that
the soldiers were forbidden to leave
the ships, and nobody was allowed to
approach them. There is aircraft

are being built. A lieutenant in the

suppose that the Germans would
waste their Zeppelins by single raids
on London. The Zeppelins were being
kept for the time when the fleet, ac-
companied by dirigibles, would attack
the British coast simultaneously. This
however. was not the plan for the
