RENEwAL or THE MISSION.

AciS OF the Apostles 10 90. anu
after some days Paul said unto Barna-
has, let us return now and visit our
brethren in all the cities wherein we
have preached the word of the Lord to
see how they fare
Acts 1874. And as they passed
through the cities they delivered to
them the decree for to keep that were
decreed by the prophets and ancients
who were at Jerusalem. ). The
churches indeed were confirmed in
faith and increased in number daily"
Exactly analogous was the return Of
the two missionary priests. Rev. Father
John OLeary. of Brooklyn, n. Y,and
Rev. Father Joseph Turner. of Boston
to Annapolis last week to give re-
newal of the Mission held in st. Mary's
Catholic Church last year.
Like the first Apostles, it is a fra
ternal custom among Catholic mission
aries to return after a time TO a place
where they have held a mission and
give renewal of that mission, ito see
how the brethren fare to further ce-
ment their faith, and give to those who
have fallen out of grace an opportunity
for spiritual regeneration.
"The churches indeed were con-
firmed in faith and increased in num-
Der daily" From this simple state
ment one can picture the enthusiasm
with which the Apostles were greeted
on their return. In the same healthy
spirit of religion, the laity responded
to the renewal at st .Mary's last
week. 1t was truly inspiring to see the
crowds of worshippers filling the
church every night and morning, and
hear their deeply devotional singing
and prayers. There is something in
the congregational recitation of Cath
Ollie prayers that gets you by the
throat They roll heavenward like the
blare of a full orchestra, the higher
voices of the women and children sup
ported by the heavy bass of manly
threats. The Catholic orchestral OF
congregational prayer is never light in
its bass, for Catholic men are not
ashamed to lift up their voices with
women and children in public prayer.
The continuation of pure Apostolic
life in the church today is manifest in
the sermons of the missionaries. Their
sermons are not edifying lectures. or
moral discussions, or invidious attacks
on non-Catholic schools of thought, but
sermons of Gospel simplicity and earn
estness, in which the eternal truths of
Christianity are restated without a
superfluous display of rhetoric; ser
mons in which are forcefully delivered
to the people "the simple DEGREES for
to keep that were decreed by the pro-
phets and ancients."

Women Want to Learn
To Sew and Make Hats.

The Social Service work is progress
ing favorably in tie office of the Dis
trict Nurse Mrs. j. E Craven has
fifteen pupils in dressmaking and ten
in millinery. Most of the girls and
women in both classes are from East
port and all are DESTROYS of learning.
The classes in dressmaking opened
with instruction in draughting pat
terms and designs for work, which is
tedious and uninteresting to begin
ners, but which pays in the end. The
classes are taught at night in the
District MUSES. office 10 School street.
The work which is most helpful to
girls and women and can be made pro-
fitable when perfected, is certainly
worthy the highest commentator.

BISHOPS MAY ACT.
Episcopalians to Continue Panama Con-
gress Of RELIGIONS.

Members of the Protestant Episco-
pal Church in New York heard Satur-
day that the contest over the sending
of delegates from that church to the
Panama Congress of Religions has
been renewed.
The question was decided by the
Board of Missions of the Episcopal
Church in a session held there a month
ago. when it was voted to send the
delegates. This resulted in the res
ignation from the board of DR.. VIM. T.
Manning, of Trinity Church. New York,
and some others, who opposed taking
part in the Congress.
According to information received
by those who favor participation in
opponents. including the Rt Rev. Reg
inald H. Weller, Bishop of Fond Du
Lac, Wis, have asked Bishop futile.
head of the House of Bishops, to call a
meeting of that body TO hear an ap-
peal from the decision of the Board Of
Missions. Another purpose suggest
ed for special meeting of the House
of Bishops is the election of "a sue
cessor to the Rt. Rev. George Biller,
Bishop of the Missionary District Of
South Dakota.
Some of the prominent members of
the Episcopal Church opposed partic-
ipation in the Panama Congress be-
cause they regard it as a conference
of Protestant bodies, which might tend
to prevent a drawing together of the
Catholic and Episcopal churches.
Among those who opposed attending
the Panama Congress was the Rev. ].
P. McComas. rector of St. Anne's p. E.
Church, this city, whose letter was
published in these columns.
