THE BLOOD, OF. MARTYRS.

As a rule we give little thought to
the horrible events connected with
the founding of many of our most
tiourishing missions. North Man
churia has most bloody history.
One of, its first bishops and many
Christians were burned alive in. the
church. Others were beheaded.
I In one village four Christians We're
decapitated, among them a woman,
whose head they suspended from the
neck of her son as he was paraded
through the streets. to the market
place before they sent him to Heaven
The Christians were then hunted
into the mountains like wild. beasts
especially in. the region of Gang moi
kang. The. number of Christians mas
sacred in this section counted more
than fifty.
where the blood of martyrs became
the seed of Christians. Catechumens
became more fervent, the womer
above all taking seriously to the study
of Catechism. In the autumn of 100
oil the missionaries were re-installet
in their districts; some in rented
houses, others in temporary shelters
! erected in haste.
All worked Zealously, and in 100.
over 1000 adult baptisms had beef
/ recorded. Each year the number wa
\ augmented, until it was doubled il
1907.

SHALL WE NOT INCREASE
THEIR NUMBERS.

Rev. J. NJ. Aubin, S. NJ, says of the
catechists of the Solomon Islands:
"They are the right arm of the mis-
sionary, often the advance guard of
the army which, the Church sends into
new country.
''They are able to secure an opening
for Christianity in certain villages
that would be closed to priests, and
the converts they make are worthily
prepared for their new Faith. A cate,
chist in Fiji in a single island, never
visited by missionary, was able to
convert more than three hundred
pagans.
In. villages already Catholic the
catechist is the priests most valuable
auxiliary. He it is who instructs the
catechumens and prepares them for
baptism and first Communion. Early
in the morning and late in the even,
ing he may be found gathering his
little flock around him in the poor hut
which serves for chapel, and presid,
ing with great piety at the prayers
and hymns. Every day, also, he must
teach school for the children, and if
there are sick people in the village
he must visit them and prepare them
for death when necessary" I

Catholic Missions Suffer
TASK OF REHABILITATING THEM
AFTER WAR DEVoLvES ON
ENGLIsH-sPEAkING CATHOLICS.

That the Catholic missionary work
in heather countries will devolve al
most entirely upon the English-speak-
ing peoples after the war is regarded
as certain by Cardinal Bourne, Arch
bishop of Westminster. In an adj
dress recently. delivered at the Car
dinal Vaughan School, Cardinal
Bourne said:
"The burden of missionary work
upon the English-speaking race is go
ing to be greater than it ever was be-
fore, SO far as any one can foresee,
all the great lands in which missions
to the heather have been carried on
will be in the future under the influ-
ence of the English-speaking nations
or those allied with them in the pres
ent war. If you study the map you
will see that what I say is true al
most in every point. And those who
are united at the present time
against us, although they did not
take a part to be compared with the
efforts of France and. Belgium in the
mission field, are likely to find them
selves debarred to very large ex-
tent in future from the missionary eff
fort they were able to make in the
past. The whole circumstances have
changed, and it would be a lament
able thing if we found that the Teu-
tonic race was no longer able to en-
ter those countries as missionaries
and those of the Allied nations could
not take their place. am not look
ing at it politically, but with an eye
to the future of the Catholic Faith
Unless the English-speaking race is
able to throw itself into the field, a
great part of it must. remain unculti
waited for the future. s,f.s.. 49, 4

TRIBUTE TO JEsUITs.

ct is true that Protestant Britain
gave us T. Macauley and David Livt
ingstone, that our own country has
sent forth a Thorburn, a Bashford,
and Headland to work nightly for
the Gospel; yet it was Catholic Spain
that gave birth to the first real modern
missionary. This was Tgnatius Loy-
ola, a man with a world vision.
1T was the Jesuit priest who first
broke down the barrier of seclusion in
China and Japan and gave to a won.
dering posterity its first authentic
news of these distant lands; it was
the Jesuit priest in the days of French
dominion in the valleys of the ST
Lawrence and Mississippi, who bore
with him the story of the Cross to
the Indians, and who nurtured the
soul life of the hardy French settlers
in lower Canada; it was the Jesuit
missionary who first planted educa
ton among his fellowmen, wherever
the armies of Europe planted the f1as
of conquest and dominion. We owe
debts to Ignatius Loyola-the splen
did ideal of universal missionary en-
terprise, and the union of doctrina
loyalty and an efficient educationa
scheme"

TRUSTING IN THE POWER OF THE
SACRED HEART.

These are troubled times in the dis.
trict of Kevli Yang Flu, where Father
Ruault, P. F. NJ, is a seeker after
souls.
His letter best explains conditions
This section of China is surely
much afflicted just now. In one place
the roads are blocked with, soldiers
in another they are infested with
brigands. To other terrors is added
the plague which first appeared in
Hou-lay and was then carried by boats
to other towns.
THE officials, in order to prevent
a further spreading are buying rats
paying, small amount for dead
rat, twice the sum for a living one
Rats are numerous in China, and per
haps this precaution may do some
good. At any rate it is the only one
taken so far.
"Of course the war causes plenty OF
uneasiness; it is fostered by the man
darins who have their own reasons fol
wishing to propagate trouble and I'm

''In the midst of these affections the
missionaries have begun the enthrone
ment of the Sacred Heart in families
and are trusting in His divine power
to restore peace to the land"

Catholic thought, as represented by
the new school which has sprung up
in France of recent years. The Revue
des Jeunes gives a delightful sketch Of
the new Academician, in whom it finds I:
the spiritual and intellectual successor
of Henri Lacordaire..
Like the latter, Alfred Baudrillart
said adieu to the world and its glory
to don the livery Of Jesus Christ, and
in seeking first. the Kingdom of God
those other things have been added
which make him today a. figure in. the
forefront of Frances honored intellec-.
tuals. Possessing an extraordinary in
tluence with young. men, Mgr. Baudril-
lart became the leader of group Of
ardent spirits who gave themselves to
the cause of religion, guiding them and
directing their enthusiasms on safe.
lines. This apostle of young France,
| as he has been called, possesses to
an exceptional degree the qualities of
a historian, an apologist, and man of
| action. Having become professor
of Modern History at the Catholic In
stitute of Paris in 1907 he was placed
at it's head. In this capacity he was
able to arm the young laymen of
France with intellectual weapons
wherewith to combat modernism, as
well as with the spiritual strength
needed to withstand the anti-clerical
indifferentism to which the religious
convictions of the nation were yield
ing.
/ Thanks to his zeal, the study of
Christian apologetics, the history of
religions, and religious instruction in
general was lifted to an altogether
higher level. The Institute became q
centre of intellectual life,, The out
break of the war give Mgr. Baudril-
!art's apostolate fresh opportunities.
Whilst the Institute itself became
denuded of it's members, these latter
carried the fine spirit, so efficiently
fostered by their training, out into the
4 scene of the great conflict. Today
young Catholic France is pouring the
new wine of it's unageable spirit into
the Incompatible fellowship of the
trnches, whilst completing it's magnifi-
cent schooling in strength and virility.
1t will return, to quote Mgr. Baudril-
: lart's own words, Ito carry on high
the banner of Christ as it has carried
on high that of France" The hour of
God in France is indeed favored in
being possessed of. the man-Mgr.

Newspapers Responsible
ANSWER TO CHARGES MUST BE
PUBLISHED-A FRENCH LAW
THAT SHOULD BE ENACTED
HERE.

In France there is an excellent law
that should also be placed upon our
Federal statute-books, says an East
ern' exchange. 1t deals solely. with
newspapers; and as many drastic
laws have recently been passed by
the Congress of this Republic re-
speeding the press, at the request of
the Administration, this would be a
good time for some prominent Sena-
tor or Representative to bring in q
bill framed on the same lines as the
law to which we refer It's existence
is not generally known outside of
France; but its enforcement in re-
cent case in which malicious ISLANDERS
concerning priests we're published by
a Partisan journal may serve to draw
attention to it. In the sorting" de-
partments of some of the post offices
throughout the country priests are
now employed by the government as
clerks That circumstance furnished
"a writer for the atheistic journal
'sHumanite" of Paris, with what he
considered to be good preteXt to
attack them. He accused them of
stealing and opening letters that had
been mailed at the town of Pontar-
lier, and of sending those of them
which they considered important from
"a. Catholic point of view to the
Bishop of Dijon, who, in turn, for
warded them to the Vatican!, On
fNf
!, "Humanite" in Socialist paper, LIE
Rappel" of Dion, into which they
had been copied, the Bishop, the
Right Rev. DR.. Landrieux, wrote an.
indignant denial to the editors of
both papers. At other times, he said,
he would not have taken the trouble
to refer to the matter, so frequently
were such charges made in atheistic
and Socialistic Journals; but in view
of the special conditions that exist
in France at the present time he
thought it his duty to refute them.
And he concluded by demanding the
insertion of his letter in both the
offending journals. Here is where
the law alluded to comes in. Under
it's provisions every newspaper that
makes grave charge or prints an
injurious report about French citi-
zens is obliged to publish, in exactly
the same position as the accusation
or the report, any reply that. may be
sent to it. Bishop Landrieux's refll-
tation has therefore been printed in
"Humanite" and lie Rappel." In
this country, as many Catholics know
from experience. newspapers and
magazines that publish ISLANDERS. and
calumnies about the Catholic Church
and its representatives usually refuse
to- insert the refutations sent to
them. ....s 49,

they can, but, of course, the, latter are
