THE IRISH MISSIONS : s,ssaz.,,C N. CHINA
(Contributed) e1f,j,A e1 phys;

Amidst the horrors of a world: war
we are apt to lose sight of projects
which though peaceful in purpose are
full of far-reaching results. Great
things are happening in Ireland. A
missionary movement has been found
ed SO ambitious in scope and extensive
in character that one is compelled to
pause for very astonishment. Ireland
is writing the latest and greatest chap,
ter in the history of her faith. She
has set herself seriously-"to the task
of converting China to the true faith.
The little island is preparing to send
vast army of Apostles to this eXten-
sive empire of the East. The great
spiritual invasion may commence at
any moment. China will be Catholic
China.
Four Hundred Million Chinese Await
ing Conversion.
Four hundred million pagans, prac-
tically one quarter Of the worlds en-
tire population, after nineteen hundred
years of weary waiting, are at last 60
ing to receive the light of Gods love
from the children of ST. Patrick. Ef-
forts have, indeed, been made in past
time by Jealous souls from different
countries, including Ireland, to do
something for the evangelization of
the East, but nothing like this great
national movement has hitherto been
organized. A wave of enthusiasm has
swept the country from shore to
shore. Priests and people have thrown
themselves into the work heart and
soul. 1t sends thrill of pride through
the heart of every person in this coun-
try who boasts of Irish blood. 1t is
grand thing that Ireland, the fruit
full land of missionaries, whose sons
and daughters have carried the Gospel
of Christ to the continents of Europe,
America. Africa, and Australia, is
now turning her face to the East. AS
one of her heroic apostles recently
wrote: I'm the going forth of Ire
lands sons to spread the. faith, hel
own faith shall be exalted. The mis-
sionary idea will be ar uplifting idea

In going out to save others, she shall

it abroad, for the light that shines

NATIONAL CATHOLIC
WAR COUNCIL WORKING

among the forces is becoming more
urgent every day and the Catholic
young men, who constitute large per-
centage in every branch of the service,
look to us to supply spiritual helps
and safeguards to strengthen them for
the mighty conflict, and to keep their
souls in Gods friendship and love.
The National Catholic War Council is
represented in the camps, both at
home and overseas, by the knights of
Columbus, whose unstinted efforts to
help build up and maintain the morale
of our troops is a powerful contribu-
tion of Catholic effort for the success
of our arms"
Bishop Schwebach of Lacrosse
makes direct appeal on behalf of
those at the front:
"At the nations call hundreds of
our best and brightest, the flower of
our youth, the hopes and pride of our
homes, have gathered on foreign soil,
far from their cheerful homes, to fight
the nations battles, and uphold the
nations honor. These boys, so mex
!! pressibly dear to their parents, so pre-
cious in the eyes of hoping people,
are no less dear and no less precious
to the Church, whose divine mission it
is to guide them, and them especially,
on the path of virtue to their and our
home in Heaven. For these, our dear
boys we plead, in their name, and in
their behalf, your bishop appeals to
you for your unstinted help in the
present endeavor to raise funds for our
soldiers welfare work. The boys need
the things this money will provide for
them; they need them badly, our boys
need them, your boys need them. Let
us then, following in the footsteps of
the Catholic patriots of Washington s
time and of Lincoln's time, freely, gen.
erously and energetically cooperate
with our fellow citizens in this all
important work. You would not re.
fuse your children the benefits of the
things this money will get for them
if they were at home; will you refuse
them now that they are far away from
you? Because you do not see theil
wants, will you let the cry of your
boys be unheeded?"
Bishop Althoof, of Belleville, 1lli
nois, pleads for faithful and entire CO
operation of the Catholic people in
the United War Work Campaign:
"The various societies engaged in
welfare war work, among them partic
ularly the Knights of Columbus, have
rendered such splendid service to oul
soldiers, have contributed so much tt
their happiness, solace and welfare
in the camps and overseas, that the!
have won the admiration and praise o
the American people and of the people!

New York, Oct. 7-(SpeciaD Every
mail brings to the headquarters of the
National Catholic War Council fresh
indications that the Archbishops and
Bishops of the country are actively
and energetically participating in the
make the United War Work Financial
campaign great success. When the
change to United Drive was made,
conferences had already been called
in many of the States, and it was nee
essary to arrange by telegraph with
many of the Bishops to take advantage
of the opportunity presented by these
conferences. The members of the
Hierarchy were quick to respond.
At San Francisco Archbishop Hanna
was one of the dominating figures of
the conference Archbishop Glennon
took hold in St. Louis. Bishop Rhode,
who may be said to speak for the
three, million Poles in the Church, was
an outstanding figure at Milwaukee.
Bishop Conroy of Qgdensburg made a
profound impression by the speech he
delivered at Syracuse, Bishop Milan
Of Hartford was the first speaker at
a very remarkable gathering held at
New Haven. In the South, Bishop
Russell of Charleston took promi-
nent part in the conference in that city
as did Bishop Curley of st. Augustin
and Bishop Allen of Mobile in the
Florida and Alabama conferences re-
spectively.
Still more convincing, perhaps, are
the Pastoral Letters addressed by the
Bishops to their Clergy urging the or
ganization of Catholic people in the
parishes for participation in the work
of the United War Works Committees
in their local districts.
Cardinal Gibbons in the course of his
letter to the clergy of the Archdiocese
of Baltimore says:
'While it remains true that there
will be merging of forces, and no
mention made of Catholic, non-Catho-
lie, or Hebrew activity, a magnificent
opportunity is here presented of add
ing glory to the Church. The sum
awarded to the National Catholic War
Council from the full amount to be
collected is thirty millions of dollars.
It is highly important therefore that
every effort he made tn raise orr uuO.

our hearts is the cause of liberty, jus.

Cardinal O'Connell of Boston in an.
nouncing the campaign says: "At the
very outset am pleased to give to it
my most hearty approval and God
speed that it may be crowned with
splendid success. The need for rec
reational and moral welfare work

pray that within the boundaries of our
Diocese, not single man or woman
will be found to whom the sinister
epithet may be applied of Stacker in
the service of the country, for to stand

final victory. We have not been bless
ed with good crops during the past
two years in this agricultural part of
northwestern Kansas; but the spirit
Of religion, of patriotism, and in the
present national crisis, even the spirit
of heroism, must rise superior to SEEM
ingly untoward conditions; trust in
God and righteousness will inspire
every Catholic to contribute literally,
to act nobly. Then the world will
realize that we, having once enlisted
in this crusade, fought bravely for a
happy ISSUE"
Bishop Curley of st. Augustine in
urging the pastors to begin at once the
formation of working bands amongst
their parishioners, comments that this
"is perhaps the most unique drive
ever launched in this country, repre-
senting as it does that splendid unity
in work so desirable at the present
time, when back of our united fighting
forces must stand a united nation at
home, in order that certain victory
may be ours in the titanic struggle in
which we are now engaged"
Bishop O'Connor of Newark, New
Jersey, exhorts his pastors and people
that mo one can excuse himself, on
any score, from the personal duty this
campaign involves. My words are di
rected to every individual in your par.

generous response to the present ap-
peal of these organizations for funds,
to continue and extend their magnifi-
cent welfare work, that we can mani
fest, in worthy manner, our appre
citation for the great good they accom-
plish, and also in a very efficient way
share in their work of supporting the
Government in this struggle for a sue
cessful and victorious conclusion of
the war. And should not our Catholic
people be moved to whole-hearted CO.
operation in this campaign by the
thought that the present undertaking
of the National Catholic War Council,
if crowned with brilliant success, as
it should be, will rebound to the glory
of the Catholic Church?".
Bishop Ward of Leavenworth, Kan
sas, urges upon his pastors that "the
Diocese of Leavenworth must be no
Stacker in this work.:
"Those who have given husbands or
sons to the cause for which our Ma
tion is at war, have made sacrifice
that cannot be estimated in dollars.
Those who have not been called to
make this great sacrifice, should give
generously of their means, that our
defenders of the Nation, here and over
there, may have their spiritual and
corporal needs amply supplied. We
have duties towards our country. Our
religion teaches us to have love for it,
and if need be, shed our blood in it's
defense; and we have Christian obli-
cations towards those who are de-
Tending it's interests. Let our Catho-
licity, therefore, as long as the war
lasts, daily translate itself into love
and admiration for those who are
ready to lay down their lives for its
welfare; and let our patriotism show
itself in heroic deeds of generosity
and not in words only!"
Bishop Kelly of Savannah, Georgia
presses home the lesson of sacrifice
and self-denial:
"The intention is after all, that
| which gives value to our acts. We
have shown ourselves second to none
in the professions of loyalty and il
giving practical proof of our devotion
to our country. Here is fresh oppor

confer with the county commits
sioners and other officials in pow
err: Vim. Hellinger, S. M. Ross

ly necessary that something be
done at once as Richland is prac-
tically isolated at the present,
the only means of reaching Ken
newick being by taking two fer
ries, which makes the cost pro-
hibitive in most cases.
There have been a number OF
