WENcHOW, A PROGRESSIVE
MISSION.

Wenchow continues to keep we'll to
the front in the march toward Chris
tianity. Each year, for the, past six
teen years, about one hundred and
fifty adults have been baptized in the
city church alone. The district near
the city grows correspondence and
the Lazarists have all they can do to
keep pace with the ever increasing
flock of converted souls.
FIR. Cyprian Aroud states that he
has thirty-six schools and one hundred
and seventeen 1chapels under the care
of native teachers and catechists.
These vital works are crying loudly
for more European religious, but such
are not Forthcoming, nor can they be
expected to do so for some time to
come.
A capable school teacher in Wen
chow gets about twenty-five dollars;
American money, year, and the good
he performs is incalculable. With
new centres continually coming into
the Church, Wenchow should at least
be well Supplied with native teachers,

ENROLL OUR SOLDIER BOYS.

Would it not be a wise and prudent
act on the part of our Catholic soldiers
now that, at last, the dark clouds of
war overhang our fair land and they
know not the moment they may be
called upon to give up their lives to
save their country's honor, TO make
some special provision for the eternal
welfare of their souls?
Why not enroll their names as Ordi-
nary, Special or Perpetual Members in
the Society for the Propagation of the
Faith SO that they will share in the
merits of the prayers, sufferings and
good works of the great missionary
army of our Lord and Saviour Jesus
Christ? Fifteen thousand missionary
priests who depend for their mainte-
nance upon the Society, are obliged to
say one Mass annually for all it's mem
.bers, and we know for a fact that they
offer up many additional Holy Sacri-
fees voluntarily out of pure gratitude
for the assistance rendered them
An Ordinary Membership may be Sc

WHY THE PHILIPPINES ARE a
MISSIONARY COUNTRY.

The Philippines have claim to be
classed with foreign missions On ac-
count of the Moro population of the
southern islands and the pagan tribes
inhabiting the mountain, districts of
Luzon. The Moros are, Mahemetans,
and offer the same disheartening oppo-
sition to evangelizing efforts as Mos
lem populations elsewhere. The pagan
tribes of Luzon Qgorrots, Ifugaos,
Tinguians and Kalingas), on the con-
trary, offer a most hopeful field for
the missionary's zeal, as is evidenced
by what has been done in few years
among them. The mountain districts
inhabited by these tribes are almost
entirely within the limits of the do
cese of Nueva Segovia. The Scheut
Fathers of Belgium and the German
Fathers of the Divine Word-each
aided by community of Sisters of
the same nationality-have divided
this vast district between them.
Thanks to the aid which each of the
societies drew from its home country,
all looked hopeful and promising, I'M
til the outbreak of the war complete
ly deprived them of those regularly
flowing mission aims, counting upon
which they had inaugurated their
various evangelizing enterprises:
Therefore the Philippines now call on
the United States for special aid.

CHILD STEALING IN ToNkIN.

While petition after petition is sent
out from the nuns in China asking us
to help support the thousands of aban-
doned babies gathered in asylums,
word comes from Tonkin strangely
enough relating that the crime of
child stealing is much in vogue there.
Such extremes are surprising but none
the less true.
FIR. Cothonay writes that he has
just received three girls from the po-
lice who had seized them from an old
woman about to- sell them in China.
In Short the wholesale destruction of
girl babies in the latter place has &C
tually created deficit in wives, and
young men of fairly good circum-
stances pay as high as thirty or forty
dollars for Tonkinese maidens. This
has set INSCRIPTIONS persons to steal
ing young girls for the purpose of
selling them, and the police and the
priests are striving to stop the in
famous traffic.

THE FUNCTIONS OF THE PRIEST.

The analogy of the doctor may help
us towards understanding the func-
lions OF the priest. To the patient
who asks a doctor for medical exam
ination and. advice the doctor may
say: CD This course of action is
medically necessary; and therefore
command it and you must adopt it,
CD This course of action is medical
ly hurtful; and therefore l forbid it
and you must avoid it, co This
course of action is neither medically
necessary nor medically hurtful, but
medically necessary; and therefore I
neither command it nor forbid it; you
can act as you will
1t is quite clear that in each of these
three cases the medical expert is CIV
ing medical advice. This must be in
sisted upon; since it is not always
clear that doctor gives medical adj
vice not only when he limits his pa
TENTS freedom by commanding a
course of action that is medically
necessary or forbidding course of
action that is medically hurtful, but
even when he does not limit the pa
TENTS freedom but leaves them to
choose whether they will or will not
adopt a course of action which is
medically Indifferent.
The application of this analogy to
the priesthood is of supreme interest.
When consulted about the ethical
import of an individual or a collective
action the priest, like a doctor, may
reply in one of three ways: 4
Cd He may say, 'The course of
action you propose is morally neces-
sary; and therefore you must adopt
il" GU Or he may declare, "The
course of action is morally wrong;
and therefore you must not adopt it,
CD Or he may say, "The course of
action has no real or no determinable
connection with moral end, but is
effectively Indifferent. You can adopt
the legitimate object matter of poll
tics, and I have nothing further to
say about it"
1t will be seen that these three judg-
ments of the priest or ethical expert
are equally ethical. The priest is full
filling his function not only when he
encourages with divine rewards those
who do what is officially commanded
and threatens with divine punishment
those who do what is ethically forbid
den, but even when he leaves indi-
viduals or groups of individuals to
their own free choice.

GODS ACKNOWLEDGE AND
MANS FREE WILL.

1t will readily be admitted that man
has free will 1t is the most universal
and most certain conviction of man
kind.
Mans conduct is variable, utterly
unlike the rigid uniformity we find in
Chemistry and Physics, where there
is no Tree force, but where everything
results in accordance with fixed laws.
The possession of Free Will, en-
aiding man to act or not as he chooses
makes man supernatural force, since
natural forces are not free, but al
ways act in the same way.
1t will likewise be admitted that
God knows all things, past, present
and future God is omniscient. But
the problem Immediately rises. How
can we reconcile mans boasted free
dom with Gods foreknowledge of how
he will use that freedom?
Even though man is free, it is not
impossible for human beings like him-
self to know in advance how he will
act under given conditions. In other
words, even among human beings
there is foreknowledge.
For example, you know how you will
act tomorrow. Provided you are in
good health, provided nothing hap
pens, etc., you will go to your work
tomorrow morning some time.
Yet your foreknowledge is by no
means the cause of your going to your
office or factory. Neither does your
foreknowledge of your act prevent
your action tomorrow morning from
being an entirely free act.
Mans foreknowledge of a future
event is in no sense the cause of that
event, neither does it obligate him to
bring the event about. He only knows
what use he will make of his freedom.
If you, being human, may have this
foreknowledge of your own actions, so
also your felIow-men may have their
foreknowledge of your actions. But
this again does not interfere with
your freedom. This foreknowledge is
in no sense the cause of your future
actions. Your y freedom, in other
words, is inViolable.,
Now if you grant this foreknowl-
edge and free will to be consistent in
the case of human beings, itlmust GER
tainly be granted to God. Surely you
will concede to your Creator in an in
finite degree what you concede to your
fellow-men in finite degree.
God has foreknowledge of all of
mans actions. Yet this antecedent
knowledge on Gods part does not in
the least impair mans freedom. My
Creator knows for certainty in ad.
vance Just what I will do in the fu-
.ture;. yet that future action is still
free on my part.
In brief, Gods foreknowledge means
that it is certain how will act at any
future time, but it does not make my
action at that future time necessary.
This is the great difference. Neces-
/. sity is not the same as certainty. God
leaves me free. am under no COM
pulsion whatever. Yet God knows for
certainty how I will use my free,
dom in the future.

SOME OF OUR APPLICANTS.

~
These missionaries recommend the
cause of their poor missions to our
co-operators: Rev. J. Steenemtu, B..
F. NJ, of Iii, Sin Kiang, China, who
says that he administers a flock of
Christians scattered over vast coun-
try. The children endeavor to come
to the mission school, but must be fed
when there. The high cost of living
greatly embarrasses the priests in
this branch of work.
FIR. Thomas Tseng, native. apostle
of Ting hu, Che Kiang, says needs are
multiplying and resources diminish
ing. Nevertheless the little chapel
was crowded at Easter and there were
more than 400 communions and thirty
baptisms. A great movement of grace
will reward the money spent on these
good Chinese.
