the present day, no Writ or speaker

complete education received not only
the appreciation, but the aid and prac

every land and to their doors came
students from every walk in life and
the only requisite for admittance was
the desire for advancement in learn
ing. The brightest lights, in those
days, consequently, were not found
among the families of wealth or pc
sition, but sprang from among the
peasants whose talents were recog

her various schools. This very fact
gave origin to that well-known saying
There is no royal way to learning"
Before Luther's time, besides innu
merable schools and colleges, eighty
one complete universities were estab

Orders of the Church. Twelve of these

MINISTER'S TRIBUTE TO CATHO
Lie GENERAL.

In recent issue of the Congrega-
tionalist there is an interesting let
ter from Rev. DR.. Jefferson, pastor of
Broadway Tabernacle, New York, in
which he relates interesting incidents
of camp life at Spartansburg, S. c.,
and speaks in high tribute of General
Organ of New York as follows:
"The moral condition of the camp
is excellent. 1t is not perfect. This
is not a perfect world. A perfect
camp in an imperfect world would be
disconcerting. Not little of the NOR
al standing at Camp Wadsworth is due
to the strength and convictions of

He is the sworn enemy of drunk

and all the admirals in our navy were
like General Organ in their concep-
tion of morality, we should make a
shining record in this war Drunken7

A PROTEsTANT'S TRIBUTE TO
THE CHURCH.

l. The Catholic Church stands for
authority; demands obedience; speaks
with a note of assurance and faith
z. The Catholic Church stands for
Christ. 1t is not a Church that sits
and sings itself away in everlasting
bliss" It, joins prayer and service;
faith and Works.
3. This Church stands for devotion
the Worshipful in religion. What mu-
sic has been born at her affairs; what
books on prayer and devotion she
has furnished.
4. 1t stands for democracy AS nc
other Church, it levels all men and
women at the altar.
5. 1t stands for great names and
deeds in history. History too much
since the Reformation has been writ
ten from the Protestant point of view
and too often the Catholic Church of
the past has not had fair dealing in
its work in education or art, morals
or religion. We single out Athanasius
in creed making, Augustine in theol-
ogy, Sayonarola in reform, Thomas
a Kempis in devotion and all of US
bow down to them as masters.
6. The Catholic Church stands for
womanhood. The Catholic Church has
been rich in its womanhood, devoted
to special religious work-its woman
hood that has foregone a life of ease
and pleasure and of the home life and
taken up the life of teacher and nurse
and missionary. The Sisterhoods OF
the Catholic Church hail Mary as
their inspiration and model but this
is not her greatest place in the worlds

STILL THE GOOD WORK GOES ON.

Mgr. P. Munagorri 0. P, of Central
Tonkin, writes proudly:
Il am going to ordain seven native
priests in July, bringing the number
of our native clergy up to one hundred
and twenty-seven. Besides, we have
twenty-five European missionaries,
making total of one hundred and
forty-nine priests in the field. But
though we are fairly rich in laborers,
we are very poor in resources. Even
apostles require munitions of war, and
without them lose many souls that
could otherwise be saved"

TER OF ENCOURAGEMENT TO
MOSCOW WORKERS

Dear Madam: We are in receipt OF
report of the inspector of knitting
at the Red Cross Bureau of Supplies
in regard to the knitting sent in by
your chapter. The sweaters were uni
fornly good. Some of the socks re-
ceived some time ago were reported
as too tightly knit probably on too
small needles but that defect seems
TO have been remedied since Some
have been received too short in the
feet but the last report declares all
work good. Many socks show good
Kitchener toes and we hope to see
the Kitchener the only one in USE
We note with much pleasure in
your February report that you have
increased so greatly the number of
knitted articles sent in.
It is great assistance to use at the
warehouse II articles are done up in
punches of five, one color in a bunch
and list included in the box.
Thanking you for your cooperation.
We remain,
Very truly yours,

STATEMENT CALLING UPON

CAN'T SUPPLY DEMAND
DESPITE THOUSANDS SENT BY
RED CROSS MEMBERS HAD

Harvey d. Gibson, general manager
Of the American Red Cross, authorizes
the following statement:
"a great number of inquiries are
being received by the Red Cross from
women knitters throughout the United
States as to whether they should dis
continue knitting.
"The Red Cross, therefore desires
to place before the women Of this
country its conception of the knitting
situation AS is we'll known it is the
policy of the Red Cross to supple
ment, SO far as it has the power, the
efforts of the army and navy in con-
serving the health and navy in con-
our soldiers and sailors, either in this
country or abroad.
Sweaters and other knitted arti-
cles are designed primarily for
warmth. They certainly are not or
namental. Therefore it must follow
that when there is an almost univer-
sal demand on the part of our SOL
diers and sailors for sweaters and
other knitted articles the demand is
real one. Such articles, therefore,
can only be classed as equipment, sup
Elementary though they may be, to
that furnished by the army and navy.
And they undoubtedly constitute
equipment that will add greatly to
the health and comfort of our men
under conditions generally met with.
"The Red Cross knows that the sol
diers and sailors want sweaters and
knitted articles. These goods can
be obtained from the Red Cross in
single garments only upon individual
requests; or If in bulk, then upon the
request OF commanding officer. How
great the need is, is best evidenced by
the fact that in addition to the hun
dreds of thousands Of knitted articles
produced by our Red Cross chapters
In the last few months we have been
to purchase $4,000 extra
sweaters alone to meet the insistent
demand made upon us by our men for
hem. We are sorry that we had to |

emands from commissions abroad
