Late that night the plans of the con-

THE CHURCH'S ATTITUDE
TOWARDS SOCIALISM.

Ex-senator Foraker, in speech
before the Clearing House Association
of Hamilton, Ohio, few weeks ago,
took occasion to denounce, in the
strongest terms, the economic vaga-
ries and rank immortality of Socialism.
Quoting from the writings of Social
istic leaders, he demonstrated with
unanswerable logic whittier the prin-
cipes of this economic, social and
moral heresy would lead the people.
In the course of his remarks he paid
the following tribute to the Catholic
Church:
Although it is no wonder that it
should do so, yet it should be cause
of congratulation with all loyal and
patriotic Americans that the Roman
Catholic Church, recognizing the dis
loyalty to both Church and State and
the exceeding wickedness of move
ment that would overthrow and de-
stroy civilization itself, should have
solidly arrayed itself against it; it is,
however, matter of wonderment that
every other Church of every denomi-
nation has not done the same. 1t can
not be possible that the disloyal, I'M
patriotic, un-American purposes of
this new political movement can be
understood"

CATHOLIC BIRTH-RATE.

E. H. Phelps, of Boston, who is
spoken of as one of the greatest life
insurance experts in America, is
quoted as saying recently:
"The present generation of rich and
middle-class Americans is dying off.
1t will be built anew, however, with
the children of the men and women
who are reaching these shores with
bundles on their heads and backs.
''The highest birth-rate in the
United States at present is among our
Catholic fellow-citizens. Their Church
teaches the doctrine and desirability
of large families. I am sounding no
religious or sociological tocsin. That
is not my business. | am giving a
statistical fact.
"Our college men and women are
marrying later and later in life, and
are having fewer children than was
the case with their parents. Aristo-
cratic neighborhoods, as we know, are
almost childless. Children are bur-
densome to women who like to eat
at restaurants"

CATHOLIC MISSIONARIES.

From time to time we read glowing
tributes paid to our Catholic apostles
by Protestants who have visited mis-
sion countries and seen, with their
own eyes, the lives which these heroic
men lead. Here are some testi-
monials for the missionaries in China
couched in very convincing terms.
The writer's were English travellers,
and the first in a book called "The
Yangtze Valley and Beyond" says:
Wherever l have met with Roman
missionaries have found them living
in bare rooms with just enough tables
and chairs for use, or in the dirt,
noise, and unutterable discomfort of
native houses of the lower class, per-
sonally attending on the sick, and in
China, Chinese in life, dress, style,
and ways, rarely speaking their own
language, knowing the ms and outs of
the districts in which they live, their
peculiarities of trade, and their po-
litical and social condition. Lonely
men, having broken with friends and
all home ties for the furtherance of
Christianity, they live lives of isola-
ton and self-sacrifce, forget all but
the people by whom they are sur
rounded, identify themselves with
their interests, and have no expecta-
ton but that of living and dying
among them

man protestant Episcopalian). 1t
says:
"The first Roman Catholic mission
to China dates back to the time of
Dante, Marco Polo and Kubla Khan.
1t was in 1892 that the Franciscan
monk, John of Monte Corvino, reached
Cambalu (Peking). In 1899 he built
a church there with a campanile and
three BELLS as he proudly records
instructed his boys in Latin and
Greek, converted 5000 adults, trans
lated the New Testament and the
Psalter into Tartar, and was ap-
pointed Archbishop of Cambalu by
Clement V in 1907. The rise of the
Ming dynasty rooted Christianity out
of China for the time being, but in
the sixteenth century Roman Catho1c
missionary effort was heroically re-
entered upon by the Jesuits and other
religious orders. The memory of the
great early Jesuit missionaries is still
held in generation, and an eyewitness
tells of a mandarin who came from
the remote interior to do sacrifice at
their graves. A great multitude of
Roman Catholic martyrs, both mis-
sionary and natives, sealed their tes-
timony with their blood long before
any other Christian church, except
the HISTORIAN, was known within the
empire"

created conflicting sentiments in poor
Derry's mind. The conversation with
the priest had weakened him, and his
heart was full of that feeling that
comes once in great while to men
like him-comes and goes as quickly.
He turned back, almost blindly, to-
ward the cabin. Dick Burns had made
use of their withdrawal to disappear,
and Derry and Father Maurice were
alone Both we're silent. The priest,
reading the mans face, knew that
silence then was the better part.

Derry shook his head.

said.
"You see, Father, got letter. It's
here in my pocket. 1t isn't as if she
said anything, but it seems so heart
broken like, you know. She doesn't
say so, but one can read between the
lines. / can, anyhow. It makes me
see her again, sitting there the way
she used to. She was terrible poor
with the pen always. 1t must have
cost her a good deal to sit down and
write to me- It's made me miserable,
thinking about it. She wants me-"
"Of course she wants you, as every
mother on Gods earth wants her son."
said Father Maurice, gently.
But l haven't been son to her

The shrieking of the wind and the
roaring of the storm without almost
drowned their voices. It was black as
night in the shanty now. There was
candle stuck in a bottle on the rude
shelf, and Derry lighted it. He didn't
say anything, neither did the priest.
He knew that Derry was in the throes
of a powerful inconsistencies, which
worked better toward Gods purpose
than any spoken word.
81 don't want to ask-yet," Derry
said at last, defiantly. His voice
sounded hollow in the room.
The priest nodded.
That's right There's something
to be done before you ask-something
very necessary"

to laugh "I'd like to see myself!

Massin, Cabatuan, Dec 6, 1918.
Dear Mrs. :
1 am extremely thankful to you for
forwarding my appeal to The Cath
Ole Bulletin and to the editor for pub
fishing. I hope the great missionary
congress has reused the Catholic pub
lie to a practical interest in us poor
missionaries left stranded on these
missions without aid, depending even
for our food upon the generosity of
American Catholics at home. The
great doctrine of the Communion of
Saints is brought home to one when
he receives encouragement from one
whom he never saw: but with whom
he feels intimately united in the warm
bond of our Catholic Faith. We are
greatly encouraged by the assistance
received from the faithful in more for
tunate lands. The work feels light.
The disappointments and discourage
ments don't overwhelm when we get
help from across the seas, from the
shores we have turned our backs on
for Gods love. "a brother helped by
brother is as a strong castle"
For months now l am gazing day
by day at the sorry spectacle Of a
work begun, but not done. My boys
and girls schools will want some
$4,000 to finish them. l am in debt
now and I must find the above still.
l cannot tell you how absolutely de-
pendent l am on external aid. If
don't get it there's nothing for it but
to close the mission. Of work there
is an abundance, but it is cutting
fresh ground The people have not
yet learned the lesson of supporting
their parish on the one hand; again
they are too poor to support it.
l am longing to get some help to
finish this work.
Believe me to be yours sincerely in
Christ.
w. CAIN.
Considerable light is thrown on the
above references to unfinished work,
debts, ETC.. by letter to Father
Kane from his creditors, Hoskyn &
Co., dated September 26, and worded
as follows:
Dear Sir:
We were glad to see you have been
able to pay $4,000 against your in
debtedness, but this still leaves $500
owing on your June account, which
as you will understand is somewhat
overdue, as is also your July account,
$636.48.
We shall be glad to have another
remittance shortly to bring the &C.
count to it's proper level. We are,
dear sir, etc.
In Father Kanes comment on this
letter, he says: "My heart is in my
boots now. There is August and Sep
TENDER still besides 5000 for school
books. So I feel heavy and down.
cast. Moreover, even though this
should be paid off have not finished
the schools and some more thousands
will be required still. The boys
school is without floor, windows and
doors and ceiling. 1t will take some
$500 to provide these. Then there's
the girls school. You see it is mat
ter of building up wrecked parish.
