In order to fully appreciate the scope
OF the work of the Red Cross il is ne
cessary to know something of the con
ditions which existed previous to its
organization.
the method employed to settle national
disputes and to acquire territory. since
earliest history.
For centuries. women of conquered
countries, were considered spoiIs OF war
but the care of prisoners or wounded
soldiers had no place in the history Of
a an, nn ,h warfare The wounded were
best they might. to die Of their wounds
or from exposure
During the twelfth century. military
orders came into existence and like the
Red Cross. sprang from the battlefield
Some Of these orders still exist and
we claim these devoted men and wo-

sometimes Of red. sometimes Of gold
sometimes of one kind. sometimes Of

Other than the voluntary aid given
there seems to have been no provisions
made for the SICK and wounded soldier
il was not until the eighteenth century
that much progress was made in the
treatment Of the victims Of war.
During the Napoleonic Wars. the wo-
men of Germany formed society for
organized relief to supply the care and
needs Of those suffering from the effects
of war.

left. however for our beloved Florence
Nightingale to show to the world. by
her indomitable courage and intelligent
work what could be done to save human
life among the horrible conditions fol-
lowing war.
We are all familiar with the work Of
Miss Nightingale and her group Of
thirty-eight nurses among the wounded
soldiers at Scutari.
Conditions were appalling. but with
unfailing courage. she persisted in the
work. until order was reduced from
chaos.

THE FALSE DEcRETALs.

Mr.. Davenport, an English Protes-
tant lawyer, has just published an
excellent dissertation on the False De-
cretals, which refutes in a most effec-
tive manner the inaccurate statements
of many prejudiced anti-Catholic writ
ers, writes the Rev. Bertrand l.. Con-
way, in the Catholic World. His book
has grown out of the Lothian prize
essay which he presented to Oxford
three wears ago. The writer makes
abundant use of Saltets article I'm the
Catholic Encyclopedia and Fournier's
articles in The Revue d'Histoire &c
clesiastique'' of Louvain, and although
he tells the Catholic scholar nothing
that he did not know before, he has
succeeded admirably in presenting the
salient facts regarding the contents,
environment, origin, purpose, and in
fluence Of this medieval forgery.
The Catholic Church saw the False
Decretals come and saw them go with
the greatest equanimity, for she knew
that the Papal claims could be proved
independently of the forged documents
of a wellmeaning but dishonest French
canonist of the ninth century. We are
pleased to see Oxford gave it's impri-
matur to the mailing of an old con
troversial calumny, which was also
ably refuted a few years ago in the
new edition of the Encyclopedia Brit
annica..

FAITH IN PRAYER.

The little Chinese mission of Ninyu-
anfu is only six years old. 1t was sup
ported in the beginning by the per-
sonal fortune of the bishop, Mgr. de
Guebriant. He, however, has been
transferred and with his paternal care
withdrawn it is hard to see how the
Christians are going to be given the
comfort of their religion.
The Superior of the mission, Rev. C.
Sirgue, P. F. M, does not pay too
much heed to this dark outlook, but
shows the faith he possesses by say
ing:
Humanity speaking, my companions
and myself fear much for the future of
this post, but the works of God do not
progress according to worldly laws !;
they are sustained by grace, and while
material aid is most necessary / par
ticularly ask abundant prayers. With
them spiritual fruits will not be lack
ing, and we will be able to add many
other souls to those already brought
to the light of our holy religion"
