IRISH PRIEST SPEAKS CHINESE,

The universally of the Church is
best shown by turning to the mis-
sions for an example. We have heard
of priests, mostly French, who have
received decorations for research
work, but the one who seems to be
most worthy of attention just now
is an Irish priest, member of the
Society of Jesus. Father Kennedy,
S. j., is connected with, the mission
of Shanghai, China. He has brother
who is a parish priest in Australia
and two sisters members of the Mercy
Sisters of California. They belong
to North Kerry family in Ireland.
This Chinese Irish priest speaks
English, French, Spanish, Italian, sew
eral Chinese dialects and is proud of
his knowledge of his own Irish tongue.
His many years sojourn among the
Chinese has given him an intimate
view of things in the Orient and his
contributions to various magazines,
religious and secular, are of great
value.

POWER OF THE CONFESSIONAL

The Ave Maria, quoting from the
New York Independent, attributes the
following statement to the late Miss
Frances Willard:
Il am Protestant, but there is no
blinking this fact: the Catholics are,
in this country and in England and in
Ireland, ahead of us in social purity.
You can take a Protestant family into
a London slum and put them into a
room at the right hand top of the
stairs, and then put a Catholic family
on the other side of the stairs, and
you will find after two, three or four
years, half of the girls of the Prot
estant family have gone to the bad,
and all the members of the Catholic
family have retained their virtue"

NATIVE MISSIONARY IN INDIA.

FIR s. G. Prakasar, O. NJ. l., of the
Nallore Missions, Jaffna, Ceylon,
asks US to put him before our bene-
factors. He is a native priest, work
ing under Bishop Joulain among the
low castles of the diocese. $50 far,
he says, Il have gone ahead with
hardly any resources and with only
modest hopes of making conversions
Still about five hundred have been
brought to our Faith. | now want to
gather in entire villages, and to this
end five new stations are about to
be founded"
The idea of this humble native
apostle, going quietly among his needy
countrymen, as poor as they, able
only to bring to them the glad It'd
ings of great JOY that shall lift
them above the miseries of the pariah
state, appeals to our imagination
India has millions of unfortunates to
whom the missionary has been the
first friend and protector.

long visitation and in his part of the
world a visitation is no small work.
He writes his thanks to benefactor
as follows:
Il write my sincere thanks for the
generous donation received a few days
ago, and which will be of great help
to me. There is a great field here
for missionary work, as we have some
100000 infidels in the diocese in adj
dition to 100000 Catholics. The
preachers of the American Bible so.

RELIGIOUS LIBERTY.

In a recent address before the De-
troit Board of Commerce, Governor
Osborn spoke in part as follows:
II am sorry that in our day, in this
country especially, there are men who
would apply the religious test in our
public life-and drag religion into
politics. There are men we all know
who would stir up hatred and strife
between Catholic and Protestant. l
am sorry to find that it is being re-
f1ected in great many portions of the
United States. Now, am not going to
make a plea for or a defense of the
Roman Catholic Church. 1t can take
care of itself. But | am going to warn
those Professionals that worry them
selves into an anti-Catholic frame of
mind They will do themselves and
their country and Professionalism more
harm than they will the Catholic
Church. No one ever does an unjust
thing without being made unjust. No
one ever cherishes hatred without en-
differing his own life.
Sometimes l think the word Prot
estant' is an anachronism. The things
that were protested against do not
exist today. Catholics are doing their
duty in time of peace and have done
it bravely in time Of war. Some of
my very best and most intimate per-
sonal friends are Catholics, and so
are some of yours. This country is
big enough for us all. The Catholic
clergy are doing a great work in stay
ing the march of red Socialism.
"If we are to remain Catholic and
Protestant in this country, and it
looks as though we would, because re-
formers are not making much head
way, let it be a competition as to
which will do the most for mankind,
and not as to which shall do the the
worst. There is no Christian spirit
nor Christianity in hatred, malice, or
intolerance, either on the part of Cath
Ollie or Protestant.
'I believe in the recall of Christian
intolerance and fanaticism; Of care
lessness and recreancy and needless
ness in citizenship, duty-dodging in all
directions, passion and ignorance in
society; immunity and injustice in
industrialism, and all the vices that
dam the rivers of love in our hearts
and souls. 1t is yours to build, espe-
cially for industrial peace, industrial
justice, industrial fraternity, and love
and tolerance"

easy matter to keep up ones cour-
age and keep on struggling. 1t is
very consoling, however, to find that
friends at home remember our work
in practical manner, and though
at distance are always willing to
support our efforts. l am writing this
100 miles from my main station in a
province of 10000 Catholics, where
we have no roads, no railways, no
post offices and the very poorest COM
munication by sea. God has blessed
me with real Irish nature, so that
I am able to see the funny side of
life, otherwise l would have a still
harder time than l have at present. ="

INVOKING THE BLESSED VIRGIN.

The following is one of the verses
IN Mr.. Rudyard Kipling's Hymn Be
'ore Action" published by the London
Daily Telegraph, recently:
Remember each and save
Before the God that gave;
The soul that comes tomorrow
All, Mary, pierced with sorrow
Since each was born of woman
For each at utter need
True comrade and true foeman-
Madonna, intercede.

God leads us by strange ways; we
know He wills our happiness, but we
neither know what our happiness is
nor the way. Left to ourselves, we
should take the wrong way; we must
leave it to Him-CdrdinGI Ne,0nIGn.
