EPIscoPALIANs NOT "cATHoLIc!"

The following passage from an ar.
ticle written for the American Jour.
nal of Theology" by the late DR.
Briggs, hits the nail on the head He
says:
"There can be no doubt that at the
close of the third Christian century
Roman and. Catholic were so closely
allied that they were practically
identical.
There can be no doubt that the
Roman Catholic Church of our day is
the heir by unknown descent to the
Roman Catholic Church of the second
century, and that it is justified in
using the name Catholic as the name
of the Church, as well as the name
Roman If we (Episcopalians) would
be Catholic, we cannot become Catho
lie by merely calling ourselves by that
name. Unless a name corresponds
with the thing, it is sham and it is q
shame"

f
province is extremely rich in nitrate.
Nearly all the mines are closed with
the exception of few to which the
Government has lent money to keep
open. Nitrate is selling below cost of
production with few buyers. Before
the war Germany took 500 and the
other 1919 went to France and Eng
land and the States. If the war con-
tinues, Chilli, which has been hard hit,
will be bankrupt; as fve-sixths of
the revenue of the Government is de-
rived from a heavy export duty on
nitrate and its by-products. There
are many German steamers held up
here having a full cargo of nitrate,
as well as English and French banks,
but they cannot leave port owing to
the many war ships off the coast"

THE ONLY ANSWER

Mr.. Orthwein leaned to one side
and peered over his spectacles in an
effect to see around the half-open
door of the presidents Office. Ascer-
tanning at last that Mr.. Burton was
writing busily, he resumed his work,
but after every two or three labor
iously careful entries in this book, he
glanced again towards the private
Office. All around him hundred or
more men and women were toiling,
trying to forget their fatigue and
that their work was accommodating
faster than they could dispose of it.
There was no sound save now and
then low voice debating letter and
the monotonous click of typewriters,
or, when these were hushed, the
slight scratching of an old pen and
the frequent 1ong-drawn sigh which
characterized one of the book keepers,
q cadayerous, melancholy fellow.

QUEEN MARY OF ENGLAND.

Lecky's History of Rationalism in
Europe was one of the important pub
locations of the last century, and has
not yet lost its vogue among non
Catholic readers. The authors an
tagonistic attitude to the Faith may
render of value his tributes of impair
tial praise concerning events in Eng
land and on the Continent during the
early days of the so-called Reforma-
ton. In an edition of his works pub
lished in 1870 there is a paragraph OF
singular weight which treats of the
reign of Mary Tudor:
Catholicism was an ancient Church
She had gained great part of her
influence by vast services to mankind.
She rested avowedly on the principle
of authority. She was defending her
self against aggression and innovation.
She might point to the price
less blessings she had Bestowed upon
humanity, to the slavery she had
destroyed, to the civilization she had
founded, to the many generations she
had led with honor to the grave. She
might show how completely her doc
trines were interviewer with the whole
social system, how fearful would be
the CONFUSION if they were destroyed
and how absolutely incompatible they
were with the acknowledgment of pri-
vate judgment.
These considerations would not
make her blameless, but they would,
at least, palliate her guilt. But what
shall we say of a Church that was but
thing of yesterday, a Church that
had as yet no services to show, no
claims upon the gratitude of mankind,
Church that was by profession the
creature of private judgment and was
in reality generated by the intrigues
of corrupt court, which nevertheless
suppressed. by force a worship that
multitudes deemed necessary to sal
walton; and by all her organs and with
all her energies prosecuted those who
chung to the religion of their fathers ?
What shall we say of religion which
comprised at most but a fourth part
of the Christian world, and which the
first explosion of private judgment had
shivered into countless sects, which
was nevertheless so perverted by the
spirit of dogmatism that each of these
sects asserted it's distinctive doctrines
with the same confidence and per-
secuted with the same unhesitating
violence, as Church which was ven

THE INDIAN MISSIONS.

Rev. William H. Ketcham, Direc-
tor of the Bureau of Catholic Indian
Missions of Washington, has just re-
turned from an extended trip in Kan
sas and Oklahoma, where he visited
all the Indian reservations and gov
eminent schools of Kansas.
Recently, a new church, st. Mary
of the Shows, has been built on the
Pottowatomie Reservation, not a
great distance from St. Mary's Kan
sas, the old Jesuit Indian mission
center. The church is the outcome
of the zeal of Rev. John A. Murphy,
pastor of Emmett, Kansas, and the
generosity of Mr. e. Eyre, of Lon
don, England, through the Marquette
League, of New York. Father Muir
ply is quite we'll known in Washing
ton, having spent some years at the
Catholic University of America.
While there, Father Ketcham met
number of Pottawatomies he had
not seen for twenty-five years. He
said Mass in the new church, and
the service was very interesting, as
the Indians sang their old-time Pot
ttawatomie hymns and the English
sermon was repeated by the interpre-
ter to the congregation. 30.
Among the Iowa and Sank and Fox
Indians of the Great Nemeha Reser-
walton, which lies partly in Kansas
and partly in Nebraska, conditions
were not encouraging. Mission work
seems to have died out completely;
church which formerly was used for
these Indians having been sold in re-
cent years and practically all relig-
ious interest in them abandoned
This mission church was in the do
cese of Lincoln. Across the line, in
the diocese of Leavenworth, there is
a little church in the town of White
Cloud, cared for by one of the Bene-
dictine Fathers of Atchinson, but no
Indians and very few white people at
tend services here.
Father Ketcham visited all the
Catholic Indian missions and schools
of Oklahoma and several government
and Protestant institutions. His
chief work of this State was the put
ting up of good substantial school
building for the Quapaws at the old
mission of st. Mary's of the Qua
paws, where the Sisters of Divine
Providence have, for many years,
carried on their work amid most I'M
comfortable surroundings. The new
building is very comfortable, presents
fine appearance and is supplied
with all modern equipments.
An effort will be made to revive
the mission at Cayaga among the
Senecas, which has practically been
abandoned for number of years.
Also to provide the Mississippi Choc-
taws with priest devoted exclusive
ly to them. There is much to be
done in Oklahoma, which contains
more than one-third of the indian
population of the United States. I'm
fortunately there is scarcely a cir
crfnstance in their surroundings
which is favorable to religious work
among any of the Oklahoma tribes.
Father Ketchan expected to have
the Quapaw school building ready for.
occupancy by Christmas. Before re.
turning to washington, Father Ktch-
am visited the Flathead and Fort
Peck Reservations of Montana as a
representative of the Board of Indian
commissioners. He reports suffering

A TRUE STORY OF THE ARCTIC
MISSIONS.

Father Bernard, S. j., that valiant
Jesuit who for some years past has
braved the snow and ice of the arctic
and is bringing the Faith to the ma
tives, is having hard time of it, but
he is not without a sense of humor,
which if it does not build chapels at
least helps to keep him alive in that
terrible country. Here is story that
Father Bernard has sent in to the So
ciety:
A minister of the Anglican Church
Church came up here from the Yukon
to bring the poor Eskimos the light
Of the Gospel revised, purified and so
much more enlightening. He went by
the name of Brother Maloney-a real
ly un-Anglican name-and stayed a
week amongst the natives, baptized
20, and to their great establishment
smoked an everlasting pipe. They
had been told by the other mission
aries that all those who smoked would
go to hell, no more, no less. At any
rate dear Brother Maloney, partly
through Irish persuasion and good
deal through that pipe of his, made 20
converts in the one week. A religion
that allowed tobacco was more than
welcome. While travelling the mis-
sionary happened to stop over night
with a great friend of mine, Mike
Twohig, a tall Irishman, direct from
the old sod, a stanch Catholic, who
has been in the Arctic prospecting
for some twenty years. After they
had enjoyed their supper, and while
smoking the pipe of peace, Mike start
ed some investigation on his own ac-
count. He casually remarked that the
Brothers name was plainly Irish.

more instances of partial liberation
