The Episcopal Church

Is endeavoring to place the clergy
pensions upon q solid business-l like
basis, and to this end is seeking to
raise fund of u, 900, 900 by March LIST.
Already -, OOO, 600 has been subscribed
but the whole scheme will be failure
unless the other million Is raised by
March LIST. Collections are to be taken
up in every church throughout the
country next Sunday to give every
member an opportunity to contribute.
Let us see to it that justice and fair
play are done, SO that when clergy
man becomes old and unable to work
he may not be thrown upon the char
ity of the world.
Next Sunday is your opportunity
to do your part.
This is practical Christianity!

CENTRAL AMERICA IN NEED OF
CATHOLIC EDUCATION.

Rev. Richard R. Rooney, S. j., asks
us to make an urgent appeal for st.
Johns College in Belize, British Hon
duras. We do not hear much about
conditions in Central America, but our
correspondent afirms that they will
soon resemble those of Mexico. Born
to the inheritance of the Faith, the
people have drifted into a very lax
moral condition. Liberty of thought
is the cry, and what higher education
is obtained is from the Protestant
Universities in the United States.
The Jesuits have now a small col
lege, but they wish to build a larger
n on the s%ea-coast, in full view of
steamers plying between New Or
leans and Central America. Such a 10.
cation will be it's best advertisement
and serve to attract the Latin Ameri
can to the advantages offered by
their own country. Offerings for this
cause will be transmitted by the
National Office of the Propagation OF
the Faith.

THE "LITTLE FLOWER" DOES
NOT FORGET MISSIONARIES.

The Little Flower of Jesus prom
ised to intercede in a special way for
priests and that she extends her pro.
lection to apostles, who surely need
much encouragement is shown by Fa-
Their Kerkhoff, of Nagalama. He
started to replace the thatch roof on
the church by some tiles, but the
work was not easy to an amateur
and he thought he would never sue
coed.
Il was so discouraged" he says
that | thought | should have to give
it up. when / happened to think of
what the Sisters had told me of the
little Carmelite nun. On the spot /
offered up a fervent prayer, begging
her to show me how to do the work
and suddenly everything seemed to be
made clear to me, and / sailed right
ahead with the work as though I were
an old experienced hand. Never
again shall I despair of anything!
May the Little Flower prove as good
a friend to you as she has to me"

SPLENDID TRIBUTE PAID CATH
OLIC CHURCH.

The following tribute to the Cath
Ollie Church, which is evidence or a
growing appreciation of the Church,
appeared in the Chicago Evening
American, a secular daily:
ITO understand the long life, the
power that has lasted through cen
turtles, the purpose that continues un-
changed as men come and go within
the great Catholic Church, it is neces-
sary to realize that that Church was
the first great republic of our era,
and that it is a great republic now.
I'm the days of the savage kings
and despotic rulers, in the later days
of refined monarchs and governments
slightly less brutal, the Catholic
Church, an organization of spiritual
as well as temporal government, had
an immense advantage over every
government on earth.
The kings, and the. emperors came
and died and each successor was a
matter of accident. The child that
happened to be born first inherited
the crown. Because of the weakness
due to accident of birth, ~dynasties
and kingdoms and empires changed
and melted.
But the Catholic Church went for.
ward through the centuries, steadily
gaining in power, because from the
first the government of the Church
was a republican form of govern.
ment.

any important facts in the govern
ment of the Church.

and powerful men, themselves select

was established by the founders OF
this government to elect a President.
when some feeble king was sue
ceeding to the throne and the power
of France, when some weakline
through the accident of birth was
made ruler of Spain, or of England
the ablest man within the Church was
to rule.
"A boy that had been the humblest
and poorest of children, tending the
animals in the field, sleeping on a
hard bed, while the boy emperor was
in his palace, lived to see himself
upon the Throne of st. Peter and tC
see the emperor grown to manhood
humbly submissive without the gate
THAT was the result of republican
government within the Catholic
Church. The ablest man was chosen
for the highest honors and response
bilities. And many a royal and i'm
perial accident of birth throughout
the centuries knew what it was te
bow his head to the chosen ruler Of
the Church, chosen because of ability
knowledge, devotion and on the basis
of true republican government.
ut were we'll for us in this coun
try to know that the Church has beer
for many centuries as truly repub
lican in government as the system
that puts a President in the White
House at Washington.
1T is encouraging to all of those
that believe in republican government
and who want to believe that this
nation, properly managed, a endure
to realize that the greatest, oldest
most powerful organization in the
world is the great Catholic Church
based spiritually upon the Rock, st
Peter, and materially upon a repub
lican form of government, a true de
mocracy, recognizing no birth right, ne
aristocracy other than that of intel
lect, character and devotion"

CELEBRATING AN ANNIVERSARY

In families, even poor ones, it is
customary to celebrate anniversaries.
On such occasions memory dwells on
the past and imagination fixes itself
on the future.
The mission of Taikou is in a posi-
tion to indulge in a like experience,
for it has reached it's fifth birthday.
Youthful though it is, l venture to say
it is not entirely unknown to the outer
world, ven amid the terrible distrac-
tons that are now agitating half the
people of the universe. In the past
it has been able to arouse sympathy
for it's weakness-may it be as fortu-
nate in the future!
Notwithstanding temporal Difficult.
ties Divine Grace has not been with
held from us. The Catholic popula-
ton has reached the goodly figure of
28,963-a gain of 1920 souls over last
year.
These Catholics, moreover, are not
merely baptized persons whose names
have been enrolled on our lists, but
practical Christians, f~requenting the
sacramento.
1t is safe to say that less than a
thousand missed their Easter duty
and of these many are not restrained
by laxity of faith but by misery or
other obstacles almost impossible to
overcome.
During the five years of the mis-
sion's existence more than $4,000
baptisms we're administration tc

How one German mother decided tho
question of loyalty was told today at the

81 said Yes, you are going with NV
blessing, because we must be loyal 10 our
country, no matter how we feel about the

The question was brought up privately
among the ministers at the conference on
the adVlsabllity or sending message to
President Wilson assuring him OF the lov-
atty or the German Baptist churches, The
consensus OF opinion was that such a stan
was unnecessary. likening 1t to the reneti,

faithfulness which is not deemed necessa
