Methodist Assembly,,

In point of attendance and intere at,
the Assembly is more than meeting
the expectations of the management.
1t was thought that the uncertainty
into which war has plunged the coun-
try would cut the attendance below
that of last year; bnt up to date the
indications are that the registration
will be q record one.
The programme has been full OF in
terest from the beginning. The clear
ness and forcefulness with which DR..
John Mccarthy delivered his Bible
lectures won the very highest com.
mendation. The sermons of DIR. Nor.
gan won new laurels for him, while it
has been said many times over that

ing wal the best of all her many as
sembly addresses. DR.. Plato T. Dur

Of Emory University, won the hearts
OF his hearers ct the start, and his SER

ed among the best ever delivered on
the grounds; while DR.. DR.. Jno. A.
Rice's Sunday School address and his
address on Christian Education were
of such practical worth as to sustain
the good opinion he won from the
people three years ago. DR.. McMur.

her own life by the dissensions and
weaknesses of Professionalism is in a
position to appreciate the feeling of
security and peace given by Church
which claims to be-and is-a divine
ly appointed teacher.
But, still more than the certainty
of faith, the unity of the Catholic
Church appeals to me. Unity is,
suppose, inseparable from infallibil-
ity. l had always thought that one
of the chief weaknesses of Protes-
tantism was it's lack of unity. Ii we
were all bound for the same goal;
if we served the same God, and
acknowledged one Saviour, why
should we not be united in doctrine
and teaching instead of being divided
into innumerable sects? was
strongly attracted by the unity of the
Catholic Church and, since I have
been Catholic, | have realized still
more what a necessary and blessed
thing is unity of faith.
If the Catholic Church satisfies my
mind and reason by her unity and
infallibility, she also satisfies in an
even greater degree the desires and
longings of my soul. Whether my
sins are forgiven in the sacrament
of penance; whether my soul is
united to Our Blessed Lord in Holy
Communion, or whether l am actually
present at the unbloody sacrifice of
Calvary, there is always the personal
contact of Creator and creature.
When | was a Protestant, it always
seemed to me to be rather unfair
humanity speaking-that Our Lord
was no longer on earth. The Jews
of old had longed for Him and prayed
for the Messias. They also had the
special presence of God above the
Cherubim of the Ark. Then for
thirty-three years Our Lord was
present on earth-hut then He left
earth, l thought.
l can not express what the belief
in the Presence of the Blessed Sacra-
ment in our tabernacles means and
has meant to me during the eight
years that | have believed in that
Presence. For one thing, it means
the satisfaction of great longing
which had seemed impossible of full
filment.
All this seems little when expressed
in cold words. What does my re-
ligion mean to me-? How can l say
how much il means to me? When
left the uncertainty, gloom, unrest
and chaos of Protestant sect for
the certainty, joy, peace and order of
the Catholic Church, life began to
have a new meaning for me.

$500 MORE IN SPITE OF THE
WAR.

The report of the Sodality of ST.
Peter Claver for the year 1915 shows
an increase in receipts of about $4,000
over the previous year, the combined
collections amounting to $4,000 in
round numbers. This means that in
spite of the second year of the war,
the young and novel missionary So
ciety reached a higher figure than
ever before. Let it be remembered
too, that the Sodality's propaganda
up to the present time has been prac
tically restricted to the nations now
fighting. If the people of those ma
tons with a thousand new demands
made upon them by reason of the war
haven't found it in their hearts to
draw a tight purse string against the
Missions of Africa, what should not
the people of America do for those
deserving missions now that the work
has been introduced into this coun-
try? After ten years of propaganda
the United States alone ought to be
giving as much to the Church of
Africa as all Europe now is at the
end of twenty years propaganda.

ST. PETERS OBELISK

The great obelisk that stands on the
piazza in front of st. Peters in Rome
has history that involves in its rec
ord more of the circumstances Of war
and pomp, traditions of romance and
melodramatic glamor than anything
that has been handed down concern
ing any one of the other forty-eight
Egyptian obelisks still in existence.
These mighty shafts, quarried from
red granite or syenite and few of
hard sandstone, were erected by the
sun Worshipping Egyptians as a figure
representing a ray or pencil of light.
The sun was the god Ra, and appear.
ed upon the monuments and on the
papyri under various forms. The
greatest monuments representing Ra
were the obelisk and the pyramid, the
latter symbolical of the setting sun
darkness and death. The obelisk as
the ray or needle of light seems to be
like the uplifting pyramid seeking pen
etration, for its cap bears the pyra-
midical shape, and SO in melancholy
distinction the pyramid appears to be
the top of it sunken low in the desert
sands.

the hundred that were doubtless plac-

It is already we'll known to your

flood which overwhelmed the thrones
and wrecked the institutions of every

only spark of freedom which was left
unextinguished in Europe. =.
My lords, it is mainly to the Irish
Catholics that we owe all our proud
predominance in our military career,
and that l personally am indebted for
the laurels with which you have been

THE CATHOLIC CHURCH-WHAT
1T MEANS TO A CONVERT.

Catholicity gives me three things,
none of which were, or could be,
offered me by any Protestant sect.
A Catholic possesses a faith which is
acceptable to reason and, at the
same time, is certainly and infallibly
true: the Catholic Church has perfect
unity of doctrine and practice; and
last, but not least, Catholicity is a
vital, personal, soul-satisfying re-
ligion.
l say that Catholicism is accept
able TO reason because, before the
divine gift of faith was given to me,
all the doctrines and teachings of
the Catholic Church seemed per-
fectly reasonable, once they were
fully understood. Of course, if one
accepts the teachings of the Catholic
Church, one accepts, ipso facto, her
teaching concerning the infallibility
of the Sovereign Pontiff, and thus
one is given a definite certain belief
which is very different from the
Inconsistencies and uncertainty Of
the various Protestant sects. Any
one who HIS been troubled in his or

A BOOK ON CHINESE MISSIONS.

Rev. Joseph P. McQuaide, Rector of
the Sacred Heart Church, San Fran
cisco, has written a book entitled
with Christ in China which forms
another addition to mission literature.
After studying the origin and history
of the Chinese people and showing the
self-sacrifice required from those in
tending to take up the life of the
apostle among them, Father McQuaide
states that conditions in China are
very much changed. 1t is true per-
secution of the Church has ceased;
there is an understanding between
the government and the Catholic
missionary, due not to any leniency
or expressed liberation, perhaps, on
the part of the government, but to
the pronounced religious apathy that
characterizes the entire nation. Con-
versions are being brought about, but
out of a population of 400,000,000,
there are today only 100000 Catho-
lies.
This thought should be spur to
new and greater endeavor on our
part.

A MODERN MIRACLE.

Rev. A. Merkes sends from Madras
this interesting story:
In Lower Circular Road, Calcutta,
there is noble charity, truly Catho.
lie in it's essence and ministration.
The devoted women who act like
angels of mercy are loved and re.
spected by all classes. They have a
bus, and until recently it was drawn
by a respectable horse long in the
tooth, but sturdy on his pins. He
took it into his head recently to die,
and was much mourned by the com.
munity he had served so long and SO
faithfully.
The Sisters had no money to buy
another horse, SO they prayed for
one, and 10 and behold one fine morn.
yard cropping the succulent grass on
the well-kept lawn. 1t was surely
sent by Providence, and they did
wisely not to look the gift-horse in
the mouth. On the contrary they
coaxed him into the stable, and then
wheedled him into the shafts, and
wonder of wonders, he drew the bus
as if to the manner born.
About a week later a well-known
owner of race-horses turned up at the
convent to see the Mother Superior
He was received with warm welcome
But, Madame" he exclaimed. you
are driving one of my best race
horses in your bus"
NO. answered the nun, cit is a
horse God sent us in answer to our
prayer. We found it in our com
pound"
The owner was struck dumb by
this easy assurance, but when he
heard the whole story of the miracle
he laughed, but not unpleasantly
The horse had evidently strayed over
from the stables, which are not a
thousand yards from the convent, and
the nuns had performed the real mira
Gle of putting into the shafts and
making a reliable roadster of an
animal which had not know harness
before. Our sportsman claimed his
racer, but to his intense credit he
made the nuns present of a good
harness-horse in it's place. Who will
say that the days of miracles are
past, or that the prayers of the sim
pie and pure are inefficacious?
