THE CHURCH AND THE CRADLE

Principal Richie of Nottingham
College, speaking at Nonconformist
gathering some time ago, at Norwich,
Conn, says the Catholic Times, paid a
high tribute to Catholic teaching and
practice. Discussing the question of
child life, the problem of the emp
ty cradle, and the retention of the
young in Church membership and
service, this leading Free Church
minister confessed that Protestant
ism had a great deal of leeway to
make up in comparison with Catholi-
cism.
Remarking on the large number of
childless homes to be found in the
Protestant churches, he said it was a
fact almost oppressive in its signifi-
canoe that so many of these homes
were childless. Now, he was
speaking to Protestants. Generally
this Indictment was not true of Cath
olics, not half so true Some of
them might have read lately & start
ling article in HILBERT" He had
been looking for an answer to it. 1t
made abundantly plain the simple
fact that if the same ratio of decline
continued in the Protestant churches
and the same ratio of increase con-
tinued in the Catholic Church, the
governing force in this country after
not many decades had passed would

HARD WINTER PROMISED FOR
MANCHURIA.

The prospects for the winter in Fa-
Their Botty's mission, Manchuria, are
very dark. For a long time his dis
trict suffered from drought. Not a
drop of rain fell for a year. In the
fields the planted seed not spout, and
in many places the soil was so dry
not planting was done. The natives
prayed and walked in professions ask
ing that the heavens be opened.
Then, finally, the, heavens were
opened and the floods came. The first
deluge lasted forty-six hours, and
when it had passed great devastation
was done, including loss of life. A
second downpour lasted thirty-siX
hours and many farms were utterly
destroyed. The poor people are COM
ing in troops to the missions asking
for help. The severe Manchurian win
ter, when the thermometer drops to
twenty or more degrees below zero,
is at hand. Who can estimate the
suffering in store for these afflicted
people?

ADAMS HOSPITAL,

The Importance of having hospital
in every city cannot be over-estimated,
and Hibbing is fortunate in having a
hospital that in many ways is above
the average for city of this size. 1t

Adams at -810-12 Third avenue, him

thoroughly equipped, including an X

ment cases are received and DR..

nurses who are competent to take
charge of any kind of patient and to
see that they get the proper kind of
care. There is a very decided adj
vantage Of having patient in hos
pital, where everything is convenient.
is this true in confinement
cases, as the facilities of this hospital
are far superior to the average home
and where a nurse is employed the
expense is no greater.

AN INTERESTING CENTRE OF
CHRISTIANITY.

The third century of the establish.
ing of the Faith in Hangchow was re.
Gently celebrated Bishop Faveau, G.
NJ, writing of this happy event, says
that tie Church in Hangchow from
1911 until the end of the 18th century
was the most flourishing of all China.
Then came the prosecutions of the
18th century, which completely wiped
out almost every vestige of the Faith.
When Bishop Delaplace began his
work in 1860, taking possession of a
church that had been converted into
a pagoda, he found in all West Che
Kiang only two small stations, count
ing in each about four or five hundred
Christians.
The work of reconstruction has
been slow and painful, but a thousand
conversions have been made every
year. The bones of the ancient mis-
s;ionaries repose in a large cave near
Hangchow, and no doubt these heroic
apostles intercede for their compan-
ions on earth.

Justly proud of a new conversion in

The great event of the year for this

be Catholic. This advantage to Cath
olicism was not being achieved
through the conversion of adults;
it was being done through the cradle.
Here was great and grave mat
ter They knew how the Catholic
Church faced it. The question was,
how were the Protestant churches to
face it and face it wisely? 1t was a
question that could not be discussed
except incidentally in pulpits, because
then more mischief would be done
than good. He was not unmindful
that in part this was an economic
problem a problem even of housing
and landlords. In only too many dis
tricts parents with more than three
children need not apply But at the
bottom it was moral problem. 1t
was big question, the sure sign
of a decadent civilization.
In his reply on the discussion, Prin-
cipal Richie made another admission.
In regard to religious teaching, he
said he feared the Free churches had
been frightened by the word dog
matte Why should they not teach
a truth they believed to be true?
When he taught mathematics he was
not afraid to teach the axioms. In
every department of secular knowl-
edge they did not hesitate to begin
Dramatically. In this case of relig-
ion why should they not, under fitting
forms, teach to the child what they
held to be true?
