RELIGION IN LATIN AMERICA
PROTESTANT MINISTER SPEAKS
OF THE FuTlLlTY OF TRYING
TO PRosELYTIzE THE PEOPLE
or. SOUTH AMERICA.

The Jealous ra-Protestant evange-
lists of this country, whose hearts are
yeafning for the conversion-say the
mark! --of the poor benighted Cath
olics of Latin America, must, declares
The Ave Maria, be just little dis
heartened by the cumulative testimony
of representative men of their own
faith, or faiths all certifying to the
utter uselessness and futility of such
attempted converting. Here, for in
stance, is the declaration of Protes-i
tant minister, writing from South
American city to the Living Church:
1.-THE most silly method to obtain
the support of men and money from
Great Britain and the United States
is to proclaim that Latin America is
without religion, without faith, and
relapsing into condition of pagan
ism. The people of Latin America
are happy, affable, and full of aspira-
tions; their cities are clean and well
governed; wealth is rapidly increas
ing; schools, universities and modern
engineering industries are constantly
expanding. Their churches are at
tractive and full of activity. There
are 1000 priests and students. have
heard splendid sermons, have been
inspired with the magnificent influence
of the Catholic Church upon the peo-
pie, and have prayed to God to provide
a movement as effective in Boston,
Washington or Milwaukee; in fact, l
have never really known what the
Church meant until took up my final
residence here. These people neither
desire nor would understand any of
the forms of speculative Professionalism
with which am acquainted.
Such of the ambitious evangelists
as are really sincere in their hope of
making Professionals out of Latin
Americans are clearly ignorant of the
people and their condition: the others
are chiefly interested in keeping the
good folk of this country equally
ignorant of real conditions in the
republic to the south of us, while
collecting in the meanwhile as many.
shekels as they possibly can.

EXEMPTION FOR PRIESTS
ITALIAN GOVERNMENT ExEMPTS
CLERGYMEN FROM MILITARY
SERVICE UNDER CERTAIN CON-
DITIONS.

An Italian government circular has
been issued extending the exemptions
from military service as applicable to
priests. In addition to parish priests
and their substitutes, exempt by pre-
vious regulations, all titular coadju-
tors of benefces recognized by the
civil administration are now exempt
from being called to the colors to
serve in any capacity. The principle
is expressed in the instructions given
to those who.aae to take advantage
of it; that is, they have to obtain from
their ecclesiastical superior a certi-
ficate stating that their pastoral work
is essential for the care of souls.

ANOTHER DEFENSE OF THE

MAY 30, 1910.
To the Editor of The Catholic Bulle-
tin:
All honor to Father Cremin, for his
defense of the Rebels" No splendor
of foreign cities can compensate for
separation from the green Island of
his birth. 1t was from meeting an
Irish exile that Campbell wrote his
touching poem, There came to the
beach a poor exile of Erin
We might lament the hard fate of
these men were we not consoled by
the reflection, that no great example
is ever lost to the world No men
ever had a better cause or suffered
for it with more consistency. They
taught their countrymen they were
brothers, and if united might be free
1t was the spirit that nerved the Red
Hand of Ulster, that made the walls
of Limerick impregnable, and forced
the conquerers of the Boyne to nego-
tiate by the waters of the Shannon;
that dictated the letters of Swift and
Lucas; that summoned the armed
missionaries of freedom to the altar
of Dungannon; that touched with fire
the tongue of Grattan; that sanctified
the scaffold of the Geraldine; and
babe the Tyre of Moore vibrate
through the world; the feeling that
bids the marble bust speak the passion
of O'Connell, the Irish tribune, which
the bayonet could not drive back, or
the bride satiate; the spirit from the
grave without an epitaph; from Davis
ito create and foster public opinion
and make it racy of the soil"
The spirit Of nationality is rooted
in the heart of the Celt, as immovable
as the altar of the Druid, pillared in
Erin's SOIL And when a pantheon
or Valhalla is piled up to COM
memorate the names and guard the
effigies of the good and great, the
naughty and faithful hearts of 1916
will not be forgotten.

This volume of THE Ideal Catholic
Readers" bears the imprimatur of His
Eminence Cardinal O'ConnelI, Arch
bishop of Boston. 1t is the work of
religious whose experience gained
from many years of actual teaching
in elementary schools has given her
a realization of the need of furnish
ing children with attractive and inter
esting readers adapted to their mental
requirements. In this volume will be
found admirable selections eminently
suited to interest the child and to
draw out and develop all his faculties.
The chief feature of the book is that
the religious atmosphere is. every
where prevalent. Notwithstanding
this fact, there is a plentiful supply of
child's classic literature. Biblical
narratives taken from both the Old
and the New Testament, interesting
accounts of the child saints of the
Church, stories intoxicating those fun
damental virtues which go to make
up the best citizenship of our country,
simple historic anecdotes, lessons on
patriotism and nature study, charm
ing fairy tales, and an excellent selec-
ton of poetry are included in the
volume.

Our townsman, T. c. O'Mara,
has just been granted a patent on
an invention which promises to be
very popular device when placed
on the market. The invention is a
combined paper holder and cutter.
The holder is so constructed that
it not only supports roll of paper
but cuts, holds the sheet fast while
cutting and then feeds for the next
operation. 1t can be operated
either by hand or foot. 1t is by
far the most complete device ever
offered to the bnsy merchant, gro
ceryman, butcher. etc., for holding
wrapping paper. The holder is
so constructed that 1t can be
manufactured at a reasonable
price, not much above the old or.
binary paper rack. and every one
who has inspected the holder and
noted how easily and perfectly it
operates, are very enthusiastic in
their praise of the invention. Mr..
O'Mara exoects to have the same
on the market at an early date.
