T. XAVIER MISSION, MONTANA.


Father Taelman, S. J., is a mission
airy of our own great West, who de-
votes his time to the evangelization of
the Indians of Montana. A letter from
him gives this encouraging account:
& am glad to report a marked and
steady improvement towards the Faith
and the Church, among our Grow In
dams. There are five districts on this
Reservation, with about three hundred
Indians or more in each. In the Big

NOT EASY TO BUILD CHURCHES
IN FIJI.

Rev. ]. l.. Grinard, S. NJ, often
writes little stories about the strange
and often terrible customs of the FL
jan natives. Now he tells about the
hard time he is having building a lit
tie church at Namosi, which is the
name of his mission station:
THE forest is long distance away.
When telling the trees we had to- walk
an hour and a half before and after
our work. Another great trouble is
the rain. I am not far from the truth
in saying that it rained ten months
during the year. The road was awful.
We had mud up to our ankles and
sometimes higher. Impossible to wear
boots or shoes. We were wet all the
| day. On my arrival every evening,
before reciting the Office and prepar-
ing some food for supper, / jumped
in the river to wash my clothes. In
the morning | wrung the water out
of them and put them on in that con-
dition. Another sore trial for patience
is the fickleness of the natives who
help us. They are half wild, and
cannot be depended upon. Their
great principle seems to be: sleep as
long as you can and work as little as
possible. 1t is easy to understand that
it is more pleasant to eat, sleep, run
about all day than to work at saw
mill.
'The last and greatest difficulty is
to bring here materials such as ben.
zine, galvanized iron, bolts, etc. The
steamer unloads forty miles from
Namosi. 1t takes a week for six OF
eight men to bring punt load to

THE YANKToN SIOUX.

When Father De Smet, the famous
pioneer missionary, was carrying the
faith of Christ to the Indians in the
northwestern part of this country, the
Yankton Sioux were amongst those
who gave him hearty welcome. 1t
is now seventy-fve years since the
sanity priest baptized numbers OF
these people, who received their in
structions with eagerness. Had there
been a sufficient number of priests
and sufficient funds to continue his
apostolic work, all the Yankton Sioux
would be to-day ferVent members of
the Church.
Unfortunately, the tragedy which
has so often frustrated Catholic mis-
sionary enterprises wrecked this mis-
sion, and at present the children and
grandchildren of Father De Smet's
Yankton's are either non-Catholic or
without any religion, the few Catho-
lies among them being nearly all re-
dent converts to the Church. 1t may
easily be seen that the wealthy
Rrotestants of the East did NOT neg
lect this mission.
AN effort is now being made to
bring the Yanllton Sioux to the
Church. There are nearly 1900 non
Catholics in the tribe and $50 Catho-
lies. The work is going along well,
for these Indians are very anxious
to see the Catholic Church re-estab-
Hshed among them; but the extreme
poverty of the mission stands in the
way of it's final success.
There is one bare little church.
which has an altar, but lacks every.
thing else. The priest lives in one
room attached to the church and does
Ills own cooking and housekeeping
Both Indians and whites of the neigh
borhood are generous in bringing him
food. To push the work of CONVEX
sion. actively, however, much more
than bare existence for the mission
airy is needed, and he has no hope
except in the aims of the faithful
Father Westropp, who has lately
been placed in charge of this mission
of st Paul the Apostle, has before
him the twofold task of furnishing
one church and of building another
a second chapel being absolutely
needed in a distant part of his terri
tory. There is also rare chance tc
secure a valuable missionary plant
built by the Presbyterians at cost
OF $4,000. With the seventeen acres
Of good land around it this place car
now be had for the nominal sum o.
$4,000. Its possession by the Catho
lies would mean the conversion o.
the entire tribe and of the neighbor
mood.

work for the salvation of souls at {
triling cost occurs very seldom, ant

MEAN MISSIONARY METHODS.

Probably the meanest type OF
Christianity l have ever run across
in the world says DR.. w. T. Phillips,
a Protestant, lis what / found at sew
eral points in the Orient, where mis-.
sionaries of certain American secfs
avoiding the difficulties of pioneer
work among the heather, have planted
themselves in the midst of converts
of older missions and have undertaken
to proselyte them for their particular
tenets concerning immersion or some
other peculiar sectarian distinction.
Environed by all the opportunities
of the non-Catholic world and with
their smallness rebuked by the pres
ence of great need, they yet do not
hesitate to wean away from another
missionary the fruit of many years 81
labor, all for the sake OF some shibbo
Ieth. They call this foreign missions;
instead it is one OF the worst forms

THE GUARDIANS" DIscREDIrED

sPersons calling themselves the
Guardians of Liberty" says the New
York Times, "haye put before Cover
nor Glynn the question evidently in
tended to determine to what extent,
if to any extent, his religious con-
Victions would influence him in the
performance of his executive duties"
Politics, as the expression of social
need, are essentially religious. A man
going to the booths to cast his vote
should realize religiously the social inn
port of his act. In this sense of the
word we wish there were a great deal
more true religion in our politics; but
the conception of liberty that Catholics
shall be Disseminated against in poll
tics and in every walk of life is ut
terly false. That conception is abhor-
rent to American ideals. The Guard
ians of Liberty is secret, oath
bound organization which deVotes
itself exclusively to an nti-Catholic
propaganda. The oath they take when
they become members of a secret anti
Catholic organization leaves them nc
choice. They are pledged in advance
to. vote against any candidate for
political office who is a Catholic
Ills personal character and ability tc
discharge the duties of the Office for
which he is a candidate does not
count. The fact that he is Cath
Ole is to the Guardians of Liberty
n good and sufficient reason why he
should be defeated at the polls.
The Catholic bulletin. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1911-1995, 1915-03-27

With this attitude we have no sym.
pathy whatever. Let the field of poll
tics be free-for-all game. Let each
man stand upon his own merits. If it
Is found that he abuses his Office or
diverts it to the use of any particular
church organization by some overt act,
then the time is come to get after
him, either through the courts or at
the next election. It is a mistaken
policy to attempt by undetermined
means or by any other means for that
matter, to prevent a free-born Ameri-
can citizen of whatever race, national
ity or faith, from having the same
right to seek office and to hold Office
as any other free-born American
citizen, and while we commend the
zeal and determination that this
government shall not be used as an
instrumentality for the furtherance OF
the Roman Catholic or any other
church, we still believe that all such
| efforts of the Guardians of Liberty
and other organizations to prevent the
nomination and election of an Ameri
can citizen on account of his Catholic
faith, are out of place and will prove
boomerang that will come back upon
the perpetrators of such acts. Wrong
methods have way of furnishing the
men who use them. Sooner or later
they will realize that they have over
stepped the lines of true Americanism
and instead of gaining sympathy they
will lose out and, like ancient Know
Nothings, will find themselves dis
credited by fair-minded and Justice
loving people.
