SERBIA AND THE VATICAN
KING PETER APPOINTS MINISTER
TO THE HOLY SEE.

In fulfillment of the Concordat con-
cluded last year between the Holy
See and Serbia, the Government of
King Peter has appointed as Minister
to the Vatican Michael Gravilovic,
who is at present Serbian Minister
to Montenegro, and who has an inter
national reputation for historical writ
ings. In reality, the appointment of
a diplomatic representative does not
form one of the conditions of the Con-
cordat, but as that act provides for
the settlement of controverted ques-
tions by amicable arrangement be-
tween the Holy See and the Serbian
Government, the presence of a Ser
bian Minister at the Vatican is dis
tinct advantage to both parties to it.
His appointment furnishes an addi-
tional example of the Importance
which the Powers of Europe attribute
to the moderating influence of the
Holy See in the world, and the as
sistance it may render them towards
tho maintenance of peace in the fu
ture. Besides, such representation
preserves internal harmony between
the government and the Catholics in
the countries represented.

nation he was pastor of parish in
Louisiana for twenty years. He was

the affairs of the Society until the
end.

CREEK MELCH|TE CHURCH
NEW CHURCH FOR SYRIANs
BLESSED BY MGR. LAVELLE
OF NEW YORK.

A new chapel, the first of it's kind
community of the Greek rite, known
as the Melchites, was opened on Feb
ruary IA. This community, in whose
religious history the event marks a
new era, has been established in
lower Manhattan about twenty-five
years, during which time it's pastor,
the Very Rev. Abraham Bechawatee,
has been holding services in the base
ment of ST. Peters Church, Barclay
street
The new chapel occupies the upper
floor of a business building located in
the very heart of the Syrian colony.
1t is we'll lighted and roomy, measur-
ing twenty-five by seventy-five feet.
With the aid of generous contribu-
tions from many members of this
community, and the help and assis.
tance of many American friends from
among the Catholic clergy of New
York, it has been made possible to
have the chapel beautifully refitted
painted, decorated and very neatly
and artistically furnished. The sane
tuary with, it's beautiful Greek iconos
tasis and affairs is also appropriately
fitted up. The chapel is dedicated to
ST. George, who is greatly venerated
by the Christians of the East.
In the presence of a large con
course of Syrians from New York and
Brooklyn the new chapel was blessed
by the Right Rev Monsignor Lavelle
assisted by the Rev. DR.. Oussani, Of
ST. Joseph's Seminary, and the Rev
Father Wakim, pastor of the Mar
onites. Solemn Mass in the Greek
Melchite rite was celebrated by the
Very Rev. Father Abraham Bechewa
tee, Economos and Archimandrite
ably assisted by six cantors.

LETTER OF THE MOST REVEREND ARCHBISHOP
ANNUAL COLLECTION FOR HOME AND FOREIGN MISSIONS

of God is in suffering? When extra
ordinary needs arise, shall we be in
capable of extraordinary sacrifice?
The foreign missions of the Church
must be safeguarded: unless we do
our part, they will perish. What else
shall we say, but that our part will be
done-done cheerfully and generous
ly?
Nor must we forget that help from
the Catholics of America to the So
ciety of the Propagation of the Faith
is not only an act of religion and of
charity: it is, too, an act of strict JUS
tice. In the early days of it's history,
when it's children were few and poor,
the Church in America received mum
icent contributions from the Society
of the Propagation of the Faith. 1t
was indebted to that Society for it's
life, for the foundations of the pros
perity which later came to it. In
deed, the fact is not to be overlooked
that the Society was first established
in the City of Lyons, under the sug-
gestion of the Bishop of New Orleans,
with the express purpose of lending
assistance to missions in the United
States of America. Year by year it
was most liberal to those missions
it's gifts reaching into the millions.
Our own Diocese of st. Paul was it's
beneficiary to the amount of tens of
thousands of dollars. The Society of
the Propagation of the Faith support
ed our early priests, maintained their
missions among Indians and pioneer
colonists: it assisted in building in st.
Paul the Cathedral to which lately we
babe farewell-three-four of the
cost of this Cathedral being derived
from the gifts of the Society.
So far, our debt to the Society of
the Propagation of the Faith has been
repaid only in small part. Let us be
more just towards it. The present
day is the opportune time to remem
ber it's favors. The Society is in sor-
est straits: countries, it's longtime
friends and benefactors, are devasta-
ed by wars. Unless other countries
notably the United States of Amer
ca-come to it's assistance, it's great
md holy work, the missions of the
Church in heather lands, is doomed to
suffering, if not to death.
This letter will be read at the sew
eral Masses in the churches of the
Diocese of st. Paul, on the Second
Sunday of Lent, February 2Sth; and
on the following Sunday, the Third
Sunday of Lent, March 7th, the col
lection will be taken up, as hereby
prescribed-the proceeds to be sent
without unnecessary delay to the Dio-
cesan Chancery Office.
The total sum collected on this
Third Sunday of Lent will be remitted
to the Chancery office-no deductions
for ordinary parish expenditures be-
ing allowed.
l pray the Almighty God to bless
the priests and the laity of the Dio-
cese of st. Paul.

SPECIAL APPEAL IN BEHALF OF
THE SOCIETY OF THE PRoPA-
CATION OF THE FAITH,
To the Clergy and the Laity of the
Diocese of ST. Paul:
Beloved Brethren:

To the Clergy and the Laity of the
Diocese of ST. Paul:
Beloved Brethren:
The annual collection for Home and
Foreign Missions will be taken up in
the churches of the Diocese of st. Paul
on the third Sunday of Lent, March
| 7th.
The collection of last year amounted
to the sum of $4,4S9.44 This sum was
given over to the Society of the Propa-
cation of the Faith in Paris and the
Negro and Indian Missions in the
United States-a small part going to
impoverished parishes in the Diocese
of st. Paul itself.
In view of the present direful situa-
tion of the missions in foreign lands
mostly heathen-it is proposed that,
this year, in the distribution of the pro-
ceeds of the collection, the Society of
the Propagation of the Faith, upon
which depends the maintenance of
those missions, shall be the main bene-
ficiary-the whole surplus over the
sums usually given to other purposes
going to this Society.
Wars in Europe have made nearly
penniless the Society of the Propaga-
ton of the Faith. Countries, hereto
fore it's chief support, are themselves
reduced to piteous misery and can do
nothing to replenish it's treasury. The
consequence is that today the most
serious problem confronts the Missions
of the Church in heather handsome of
life or death. Today, in Asia and
Africa, in. the Islands of Oceanica,
thousands of missionaries are on the
verge of starvation; thousands of mis-
Sionary stations, schools and asylumS,
are in deplorable penury. The most
distressing appeals, we are told, are
reaching the Offices of the Society of
the Propagation of the Faith, hitherto
the sureerefuge of the Catholic apostle
lateE G8f1ence, however, in it's present
situation, no relief is to be had.
The Catholic Church must not allow
the pail of death to spread over its
missions to heather lands. Those
missions are its glory, the evidence OF
it's divinely-giyen universally. Some.
where and somehow the remedy to
menacing misfortune must be found
Catholics in Europe can do nothing:
Catholics in large-hearted America
will be the saviour of the Church in
it's missionary work.
In America we are blest. No war
skaters our cities or desolates our
plains Our harvests are plentiful:
our industries thrive. Wars in other
lands bring us even greater prosper
ity, than might otherwise have been
ours. Let us show our gratitude to
Almighty God by returning to Him,
in service to charity and religion, a
generous portion of the gifts with
which His bounty has endowed us.
Shall we say-We have burthens Of
our own-missionaries of our own to
support, churches to build, works of
religion and charity to uphold? True
this may be: true it is. But shall we
see only ourselves and our limited
confines, when elsewhere the Church

is CHRISTIANITY A FAILURE?
Christianity Not An Issue in Present
War

Now, Mr.. Eliot contends that Chris
tianity has failed inasmuch as Chris
tianity has not prevented warfare. In
the first place it may be remarked that
Mr.. Eliot's idea of the Christian re-
ligion, and of religion in general, is a
concept based on the modern interpre-
tation of religion. Christ did not come
to build up kingdom in this world:
My kingdom is not of this world"
He emphatically declared. Chris
tianity is not, nor can it be, an issue
in the question of armed conflict. The
counsels interspersed throughout the
Scriptures pointing to meekness and
submission have no bearing on the
present question. Suffering endured
with Christian fortitude is fraught
with merit; persecution borne in the
cause of Faith, when Faith is at stake,
S incumbent as duty upon the be-
'ever But the shielding ones life
from hostile attack outside the realm
of religion is but the exercise of a
natural right. Will Mr.. Eliot admit
that our forefathers acted wrongly in
seeking to preserve their independence
and their liberties, unhampered by un-
just restraint? Was the war of the
Revolution a proof that Christianity
had failed up to that particular epoch?
Is the present existence of this coun-
try, the haven for the oppressed of
all nations, merely the result of fail
ure of Christianity when put to the
test during the dark and bitter days
of Valley Forge? The historical fact
is, that Christianity i'll itself had moth
ing whatever to do with the whole
matter, as an antecedent, concomit-
ant, or subsequent factor.
Eiot's NaturaIism.
The fundamental error in Mr.. Eliot S
reasoning is derived from form of
Naturalsm, so prevalent at the pres
ent time. He cannot see any distinc-
tion between the soul endowed and
enriched with divine grace, and the
cultured pagan living according to
purely natural laws and ideals. In
other words, Christianity is and al
ways has been dogmatic: true Chris
tianity always will be dogmatic.
When the food-gates of irreligion
were opened wide in the sixteenth
century, the crux of the upheaVal was
found to be the spirit of rebellion
against authority. Dogmatism palled
upon the human spirit that had been
chatting under restraint. The firmness
of the divine law, the uncomprising
attitude of the Christian Church with
regard to her doctrines furnished a
plausible pretext for those of her chill
dren who yearned for greener pas
lures, for untasted springs, for more
delectable mental pabulum. The in
flexible sameness of the mamma spread
ever before them nauseated their
vitiated appetites, and they fain would

NORTH DAKOTA MISSIONARY
FATHER BELcoURTs WORK
AMONG THE INDIANS-TRIBUTE
OF SECULAR NEWSPAPER.

Among the missionary priests of the
great Dakota territory no single man,
says the Devils Lake Journal, stands
forth more prominently than Father
Belcourt, famous for his great work
with the Indians, particularly the
Chippewas. In 1849 he was a mis-
sionary at Pembina and later at st.
Joseph (Walhalla). Major Woods of
the United States army during the
31st congress was sent to Pembina
to investigate the conditions in Da-
kota, and his report of the work of
Father Belcourt is full of the high
est praise for the work of the mis-
sionary. Father Belcourt performed
the valuable service of compiling
dictionary of the Chippewa language,
spending many weary day question
ing the Indians and learning the null
titude of words used in the Chippe-
wa tongue. At the time Major
Woods was at Pembina Father Bel
court asked for assistance from the
government to publish the dictionary
he had prepared.
The work done by these early mis-
sionaries cannot be too highly re-
garded Theirs was the task of driv-
ing the entering wedge of civiliza-
tion into the wilderness of the
prairies and this task they nobly per-
formed. The fact that they kept faith
with the Indians, never deceived
thnm and alwayS pndpaVOrp6 TO see
that justice was done them, made it
possible for the missionaries to pene-
trate the wilds of the Dakotas and
safely go among the warning tribes
when no other white man could do so
with impunity. Some day North Da-
kota will recognize the service per-
formed by these men who gave their
lives to teach the savage civilization
and Christianity.
