MISSION FIELDS,

Catholic Negroes or those who wish
to be instructed in the Faith. Many
converts have been made among the
Negroes-in New York, the children
being great factor in bringing them
into the fold So great has been
the success of this mission that the
Sisters find it difficult to attend to all
their converts and are asking young
Catholic women to come to their as
sistance as teachers in the Sunday
School and Christian doctrine classes.
The Board of Missions of which
Father John E. Burke is the Director
General, helps to support this mission
by paying the salaries of the teach
ers. This is only one mission out of
the many that the Board relieves.
Particularly is it busy among the
many poor missions of the South. The
more missions Father Burke is able to
help, the better pleased he is, but it
is with the poor Negroes of the South
that his thoughts linger on, for he
knows the difficulties they are labor
ing under for religious instruction
and his great heart is with the heroic
missionaries who have given their
lives to this apostolic work. Why do
the Catholics not help more in this
spiritual work of converting the Ne
gro in America? Are we asleep or do
we shut our eyes to the efforts that
our separated brethren are making in
this particular field of labor, spending
millions to prosletyze and win them
over to the various sects?
If every Catholic in the United
States would send donation no mat
ter how small-the end would be in
sight, for schools for the Negro chill
dren could be built and churches es-
tablished and the great work be
speedily accomplished.
No greater spiritual work could be
practiced than helping in the saving
of souls. Our donations will act as
prayers for the convention of the Ne
gro. Every stone put in a church
or school will help to spread the
Faith among them.

DICKENS ON RELIGIOUS BIeoTRY.

In the original, preface to "Barnaby
Ridge" Charles Dickens, the eminent
English novelist, has this to say con-
corning religious bigotry: These dis
turbances (the No-Popery Riots) are
impartialiy painted by one who has
no sympathy with the Romish Church,
though he acknowledges some
esteemed friends among the followers
of its creed. 1t is unnecessary to say
that these shameful tumults, while
they reflect indelible disgrace upon
the time in which they occurred, and
al who had act or part in them,
teach good lesson. That what we
falsely call religious cry, is easily
raised by men who have no religion
and who in their daily practice set
at naught the commonest principles
of right and wrong; that it is begot
ten of intolerance and persecution
that it is senseless, besotted, inveter
ate and unmerciful, all history teaches

THE CATHOLIC CONCEPTION OF
CHARITY.

1t will be- sorry day for humanity
when the medieval conception of
charity departs entirely from the
world. That charity has a spiritual
quality, blessing, like mercy, him that
gives and him that takes, is the simple
truth. The best exponent of the
medieval conception of human rela-
ton is Francis of Assist, that joyous
friend Of man, who mingled with the
thrOngs of men to bring them peace.
81. This prophet of poverty, whom
our generation is rediscovering and
appreciating as he has perhaps not
been known and appreciated since
they made him a saint, is certainly
the most fascinating and complete
embodiment of medieval charity,
with it's lofty superiority to economics,
eugenics, organized charity, systematic
theology, and many another science
that was not yet born, sciences which
in our own day have yet here and
there to be recOnciled to that other
wisdom which Francis presents.
Tempting as the mendicant friar's
philosophy is, however, we regretfully
pass it by for an even more authorita-
tive source, viz, the teachings of that

can be regained by the Catholics for

Bishop ODougherty, in whose do
cese Father Treumper is, is without
doubt, the poorest Bishop under the
American flag. Perhaps the price of
useless Injuries that Catholics inflict
upon themselves, sent to him, would
mean the saving of his diocese. Any

has declared to have supplied what is
even yet after seven centuries the
sound and natural basis of theological
instruction in schools and seminaries

the education of the Catholic clergy.
What says Thomas Aquinas as to the
test of the genuinely spiritual quality
of any charitable act? His test is that
true charity will inspire in the bene-
ficiary desire to pray for the giver.
And now what will be thought of an
attempt to drag such proposition as
this from it's scholastic setting and
offer it for serious consideration in a
modern journal of constructive phil
anthropy?
What is taken by force is not char
ity; nor is that properly SO called

much solicitation, or with hufniliating

relieve distress, or even prevent it.

THE LEADING OF A RACE TO GOD.

The spread of Catholicism, says
Sheila Mahon, is the only hope for the
Negro Of the future, for, despite edu-
Cational advantages, he is sure to fail
without religion to guide him. 1t is
an established fact that the Colored
people of the South do not become
virtuous when they join the various
sects that flood the country. 1t is
only the Catholic Negro that shows a
wholesome respect for law and order
and his duty as a citizen. There is
little or no crime where the Catholic
Negroes are in the majority whereas,
on the other hand it is recognized
that a colored population especially
where illiterate preachers abound
show no improvement-tha the
courts are filed with criminals in
striking contrast to the simple good
lives of the Catholic Negroes who
have been carefully instructed in their
religion. The piety shown by this
class of Negro is proverbial and their
lives an example that many of us
might follow with advantage.
1t was to help the Negroes of the
South particularly that the Board of
Catholic: Missions was founded by the
Hierarchy and the Rev. John E. Burke
was made Director-General. He is
sending relief to poor missions and
helpinS to build schools and churches
and paying the teachers. The Negro
children is his special care-to bring
them up good Catholics and train
them to be good citizens is his one
aim. Every one should help in the
greatest work Of the century-the con-
version of the Negro of America.

donations. He needs them ALL for the

CATHOLICS RESPOND GENEROUS
LY TO APPEAL.

In the July issue of Extension Maya
zine an appeal was published headed
Some Things That God Needs"
They were things that God permitted
Himself to need in the person of
His priests and the generous respon-
ses that this appeal brought in are
only further evidences of the gener-
osity of American Catholics when
once they realize that their fellow
Catholics are in want. Twelve
churches have been donated as re-
suit of this plea. Moreover, more re-
sponses are coming in all the time.
American Catholics are beginning to
realize their responsibility. They are
beginning to learn that the secret of
receiving much is giving something to
God.
The President of the Catholic
Church Extension Society has the
DRY that most people in good health
and holding steady positions, could,
at some time or other in their lives
build chapel. They could infiict self
denial weeks upon themselves, or do
many things. He insists they would
never miss the money; or rather that
they would receive again as much as
they gave. But there are many who
cannot save $500. They may not be
able to build a church but they could
do other things. Here is a list of
things the Society needs to fill the
acquisitions of poor priests. Here al
so is the cost of things:
Abs cost from Sc to SIS each.
Affairs cost $50 each.
Altar cards cost from 81 to SO each.
Candlesticks cost $40 each.
Chalices cost SIS each.
Ciboria cost SIS each.
Copes cost SIS and upwards each.
Crucifxes cost $3.50 each.
Missionary Mass outfits cost from
800 to $110 each.
Monstrance or Ostensoria cost $40
each
Missals cost from 81 to $40 each.
Stations of the Cross cost from 81
to $12 set.
Statues cost $25 a piece.
Vestments cost SIS a set
The Society has hundreds of requi-
sitions on file for all of these articles
and also IA acquisitions on hand for
organs. An organ is a great gift to
a mission and supplies many defects
in the furnishings of churches. Other
needs are altar cloths. Surely the
making of altar cloths for poor mis-
sions will appeal to many Catholic
needlewomen. Size and directions
will be gladly given upon request.
Any information regarding any of
these gifts will be furnished upon re-
quest by the Catholic Church Exten-
sion Society, whose Offices are 10
