INTOLERANCE AND RIeoTRY.

1t would have been curious, indeed
had the Republicans of the Fourth
district nominated man for congress
whose chief if not only recommends
ton for the position was his promi-
hence as a member ola crafty maliei-
Gus gang making war on Christian
Church and trying to arouse religious
hatreds in these days when all Amer
leans should stand shoulder to shout
der against the common enemy of
mankind.
Fox's only chance for success lay
first in his connection with the Great
Secret Order being kept very quiet as
it was in his former campaigns, in
which many Catholics and liberal
minded Protestants supported him;
and secondly in the general lack of
interest in the primaries, which made
it possible for the fanatics to rally all
their forces, while the average fair
minded man failed to vote. The first
was frustrated by the publication in
the Sun of an account of the meeting
in Odd Fellows hall on Friday night.
The second condition existed yesterday
so that only small percentage of the
voters went to the polls, about one! in
nine. And yet with many of the ward
politicians working for him, with the
prestige of former nomination for
congress and two elections to the leg
islature and with all the boasted pow.
er of the Great Secret Order behind
him, Fox polled only few more than
600 votes, where two years ago he
polled more than $4,000.
This evil thing of religious hatred
and intolerance cannot stand the light
of day in the land of the free. Fox
is eliminated, and the next thing that
ought to be done is to bury the other
candidate for congress who sat with
him on the rostrum where Waldron
ruled under an avalanche of indignant
ballots in November in the Third dis.
trict.
One of the horrendous dangers
pointed out by Waldron was the fact
that Mass had been said in a Young
Mems Christian Association camp
hall Broad-minded Americans, instead
of being indignant, will rejoice at the
fraternal Christian spirit thus dis
played, just as they rejoice that, the
knights of Columbus huts have been
offered to and used by the Young
Mems Christian Association; that the
shofar was blown from the Jewish
welfare building at Camp Meade, and
that men of every creed and no creed
are welcomed and entertained at the
huts of any and all these organiza-
tons. They are all showing the real
spirit of Christian love and charity. 1t,
would, be sad indeed If we at. home
could be excited into hatreds of each,
other because our religious beliefs
were different.

: DOING THEIR BIT.

The Catholic children of America
Fare not allowing those of the Prot
estant denominations to Guido them in
patriotic work. And while doing all
they can to help their earthly coun-
try, they are also doing their bit for
their heavenly country in missionary
work for the Sodality of St. Peter
Clayer. Their interest inEthe African
missions has been steadily growing.
During the past scholastic year the
children of several st. Louis schools
adopted nine catechists, that is, they
are sending $40 year for the support
of these much needed missionary aux.
iliaries, upon whom the progress of
the missions depends.
Another very appealing charity to
our Catholic children las we'll as to
their elders), is the BaptismaI offer
ing-$5.00 to support little African
negro at the mission school in prepa.
ration for baptism; the donors choose
the names of their proteges. Hun
dreds of little Africans have been re-
ceived into the Church through the
charity of American Catholic children.
1t is very consoling and highly edi-
tying to know that our American chill
dren are learning the spirit of self
sacrifice, for to help the little Africans
many an act of self-denial must be
made; the children abstain from can.
dy, picture-shows and other pleasures
to obtain the money necessary for
their little charities. Beautiful and
touching are the letters sent by the
children to the Sodality Headquarters,
Fullerton Bldg, st. Louis, telling with
ehildlike simplicity how they obtained
the money to help the little negroes.
The little girls" in one school write
that they are only a few girls and
that most of them haven't much
money, but that. they are going to do
the very best they can. A boy attend
ing one of the poorest parish schools
in st. Louis, and who works during
vacation, writes that he ha. patiently
labored all year to secure money to
ransom a little babe of the Dark Con-
tinent'." Another, that he, himself
earned the necessary $500 by carrying
papers.
/. A band of little girls in one of our
southern Catholic schools sent two
Baptismal offerings, one for a little
African girl and one fora boy, and are
sending money for the further support
tof the two children. When school
closed last June they wrote: I'VE
hope the children will not forget the
needs of the Negro Child during
vacation"
There are. many, many of these edi-
flying examples of youthful zeal. At
the opening of the new scholastic year
we appeal to parents and teachers to
do all in their power to encourage the
missionary spirit in our Catholic chill
dren, that as our soldiers are now
crossing the seas to fight on foreign
soil for the liberty of the world, and
We, at home are doing our bit, so, too
may we, Catholics, one and all, old
and young, do our bit to help the sol
diers of the Cross fight the battles of
Christ in foreign lands.

All sorts of requests come from the
good missionaries. Once in while
they ask something for themselves,
but most of their demands are in be-
half of their charges, either young or
old, sick or destitute.
Bishop CASTOR Robichez, S. j., Cey-
Ion, begs assistance in caring for a
number of orphan girls who have been
placed in charge Of the Sisters of st.

as in many other countries, it is neces-
sary for the bride to have a dover,

Mgr. Robichez. So here is new chan

LET US HELP THE HOSPITAL in
SOUTH HoNAN.


One of the most important founda-
|tions in South Honan is the hospital
conducted by Italian missionaries, I'M
der Bishop Belotti At present it is in
danger of being closed if help does
not come from some source. Mgr.
Belotti says: "
This hospital vas opened in the
year 1907, at Chumatien, station of
the railway that joins Hankow city
with Peking. 1t is the only Catholic
hospital in large territory.
Scared for by the good nuns, many

that 800 patients recovered and that
11,0G0 were treated. An ambulance
also visits the sick, poor in their
homes. To do all this, good work we
have incurred debt, that, weighs
heavily upon us, and earnestly beg
assistance"

EDUCATION IN NUEvA sEeovIA.

The missionaries of the Divine Word
have charge of the mission of Abra,
diocese of Nueya Segoyia, Philippine
Islands. Though fundamentally Cath
olics, the natives had fallen into a
deplorable state. Churches were in
ruins and Aglypianism and Protestant
tism had worked great havoc.
''Since 1909" writes Father M. Her
gesheimer, S. Y. D., .''r'the Steyl Fathers
have been able to restore three large
churches and build several chapels.
But the hope of Faith is in the young
and therefore, at the cost of sacrifice
and infinite labor and patience, about
fifty schools have been opened. In
some of these English is the language,
in others instruction is given in the
native tongue.
Nine nuns, servants of the Holy
Ghost, assist in teaching the girls, and
only lack of funds prevents the educa-
tional institutions of the Steyl mis-
sionaries from reaching large num-

AGAIN THE cATEcHlsTs SAVE
THE DAY.


|, Over and over again come testi-
monials from priests in the mission
lands lauding the work of the cate
schists. A notable example of their
great value comes from India, that
country of teeming millions, depleted
of missionaries as elsewhere by the
demands of the war.
In the district of Bezwoda and
Masulipatum in the last eight years
the number of Christians increased
from 1000 to over 5000. They live,
of course, scattered over many VII
lagos, which increased in number in
the same period from twenty-six to
forty-three. In addition to these
Christians, there were then 500 cate
chumens, who now number 1900.
Eight years ago there were two
priests now there lis zone more, three

you must be a good walker and a
good swimmer. Even during the dry
season there is only one of our towns
that can be visited on foot. To visit
the others we have to cross sometimes
two or three swamps. On an average,
during a three hours walk, we have
to walk from a quarter to three-quar-
tiers of an hour through mud and water
