Society Of the Propagation
Of the Faith
MONTHLY STATEMENT OF THE
DIOCESAN DIRECTOR.

The total receipts of the local office
the Faith we're $49S.16 for the month
of May. Returns from the following
branches of the Society are hereby
gratefully acknowledged: MINNIE
APOLIS: Pro-Cathedral, Incarnation,
Holy Rosary, st. Anne's, st. Law
rence's, st. Stephens; ST. PAUL:
Cathedral, st. Luke's, st. Johns, ST..
James; OUTSIDE THE CITIES:
Hugo, st. John Baptist; Bird Island,
ST. Mary's; Mortified, st. Dominic.
The work of the Society is now
formally organized in nearly fifty par
ishes of the Diocese of st. Paul. In
the city of st. Paul itself twelve
branches have been established; in
Minneapolis, eleven; outside the
cities, twenty-four. Over twelve
thousand jealous Catholics have taken
either Perpetual, Special or Ordinary
membership in the Society during the
past year, thus assisting by prayers
and aims in planting the cross of
Christ in heather and pagan lands.
That SO much has been accomplished
within this period is due to the genu-
inc zeal with which pastors have
.espoused the mission cause; likewise
is it due in large measure to the
fidelity and earnest cooperation of
Parochial Secretaries and promoters.
The sincerest thanks Of the Direc-
torate are rendered to all.

OUR GUESTS.

Up to the present time we have
been accustomed to look upon all
the people in this country in the
general light of citizenship. With
broadminded tolerance and a
genuine spirit of fraternity we
have been loathe to make distinc-
tons Of any kind. 1t was unusual
to inquire into the place OF origin
of any person or to appear solici-
tious as to whether or not he was
actually a citizen. The present
crisis, however, has brought to the
surface of our national life a fact
that has been overlooked, namely,
that there are about four million
so-called aliens in our midst. In
various parts Of the country this
fact has been manifested by the
attempts that have been made by
many of these aliens to slight or
actually to harm the government
which shelters them. Just what
particular form of punishment
should be melted out to this species
Of ingratitude it is hard to say !:
in any case, it should be instan-
taneous and severe.
Speaking of such persons, a
noted prelate recently remarked
to an audience representing many
nationalities that persons Of this
description should not lose sight
Of the fact that while in this coun-
try they are the nation s guests.
AS citizens they would, so to say,
belong to the great national fam
lily; as guests, however, they
should have the courtesy and the
common decency to realize the OBJ
legations imposed upon them by
the hospitality Of their host, the
American nation. IL their posi-
ton as guests does not satisfy
their ambitions, let them either
enter the ranks of American
citizenship and become law abid-
ing like their fellows, or else quit
the beneficent shores that have re-
ceived them in a spirit of friend
ship and kindness. As guests
let them wear the wedding gar
ment which is the mantle Of
American citizenship, or let them
Immediately and sternly be cast
forth into exterior darkness.

WAR LOAN BONDS.

A short time ago the govern
men inaugurated campaign to
dispose OF bonds in order to en-
sure funds for the successful
prosecution Of the present war.
1t was thought at the time that
the mere announcement would
cause such an outburst of patriot
ism that these bonds would be i'm
mediately over-subscribed. The
press, public officials, prominent
church dignitaries all over the
country lent their ready and gen
erous assistance to the proposal,
and demonstrated in a practical
way the truth Of their convictions
by subscribing for these bonds
and by urging others to do so. Up
to the present day the enthusiasm
seems to have been to some extent
uncertain. In some sections of
the country the assigned quota
has been quickly over-subscribed
with great generosity. In other
parts Of the country the response
has been tardy and, to say the
least, disappointing.
In the present crisis the duty
Of every citizen is plain. His mode
Of action is perfectly clear. We
read in ancient history in differ
ent countries how the citizens
came forth with their money and
valuables to assist the government
in time of need; how they poured
this wealth into the public Golfers
with no hope of financial return
but simply to prove their loyalty
and to provide for that protection
which they felt so necessary. True
it is that our country is the rich
est in the world, and our govern
ment most powerful. But just as
the government cannot grant pro-
lection to the Republic in time Of
peace without taxes for current
expenses, so in time OF war it were
absurd to expect the administra-
ton to furnish extraordinary
protection for the people without
having at the same time extraor-
binary resources at it's command.
This is the reason why it is incum-
bent upon every citizen to do his
duty in this regard and thus to
meet the emergency Of an I'M
usual situation. If the required
amount is not raised and if the
government should be forced to
place heavy taxes on the country,
those at least who have failed in
their duty will surely have no
cause for just complaint.

q fruitful field for the exploita-
ton OF their un-C Christian, I'M
American propaganda. Last year,
however, an organization known
as the Catholic Laymen S Associa-
ton OF Georgia was formed. 1t
numbers many thousand members
III It's ranks, and it has set itself
the task of reconciling the bellig
erent elements in that State. The
organization has issued a PAM
phlet for wide distribution. The
spirit of federation is explained
and exemplifed and a strong plea
is made for a spirit of harmony in
Georgia, a spirit that character
ICES the greater number OF the
States Of the Union.
In very truth, the history OF
America is built up on the prin-
ciple Of federation. The ancestors
OF the present generation came
here, as a rule, because OF oppres-
sion or of poverty in the country
of their origin. The broad lands
OF America were spread out, smil-
mgly before the new corners, and
all were invited to partake of the
rich abundance which God and
nature had centered in this West
ern Hemisphere. True it is, our
early history is marked here and
there by a spirit of religious
aversion. This was but natural,
as those who came to us from for
eign lands frequently carried their
religious narroWness and preju-
dice with them. But the spirit of
America should have long since
merged these peoples into one, and
dissolved these pernicious out
growths which were the result of
foreign conditions. AS the above
mentioned pamphlet relates, there
is no longer any reason why
Catholics and their non-Catholic
fellow citizens should not live in
perfect harmony and accord in
this blessed land Of liberty.
Blgotry and intolerance, in what
ever form and in whatever Church
or society, are hateful to all fair
minded persons. Under the aegis
OF American protection there can
be no room for the man who will
quarrel with his neighbor by rea-
son OF religious difference.
