PAGAN MIND HAS BEEN OPENED.

Because of the collections for the
Indian and Negro missions and for
the propagation Of the. faith which
have been taken up IN all the churches
of the country on2'a recent Sunday,
the following is most timely. It is
the report made by a missionary
Bishop, upon the silver jubilee of the
foundation of his mission in China.
Because it recounts in figures the ac-
cCmplishments of this time, because
it tells wildly what difficulties are
faced and because it cites the added
stumbling blocks in the way to sue
cess created by the present war, in
cidentally mentioning the effects of
the latter and the Church's part in
it upon the pagan mind, the. report
of Bishop Henninghaus, Vicar 4Apos7
tolic of South Shantung, is most in
Ateresting. The report reads:
In writing my annual report can
not help mentioning the anniversary
of a day that for us is wrapped in holy
memories. Last Pentecost day it was
twenty-five years since our mission of
South Shantung was dedicated to the
Holy Ghost. Deepest gratitude fills
my soul when I think of the event
1t is as vivid in my mind as though
it had happened only yesterday; the
poor little chapel in the noisy CITY of
Tsining, the little altar, decked with
a few flowers, and before it the
Bishop and his priests defeating
themselves and the mission forever to
the honor of the Holy Ghost.
That time my predecessor, the late
Bishop Amer, wrote in his annual re-
port: South Shantung may confident
ly look into the future. A stream of
grace has been opened to it which
will bring blessing to US and our sue
cessors." How beautifully this pre-
diction has been fulfilled In that
year, 1892, the mission had 1000 bap-
tized Christians, neophytes, and to-
day, in 1917, rs years later, we can
submit the following statistics:

is doing his bit to embarrass and
cripple the administration, while the
Roman Catholics claim that forty per
cent of the men in the army and navy

dition, the Knights of Columbus are
raising fund of S3,000,000 to do for
their young men in uniform what the
Y. M. C. A. is doing for the Protestant
soldiers. We are not a Romanist and

cATHEcHISTS IN THE SOLOMON
ISLANDS.

Not so often do we hear from our
apostles in the Oceanic Islands as
from missionaries in other parts of
the world. Remote they are, in fact,
and often left to terrible isolation;
but they are pursuing just the same
course and using just the same meth
DDS as their brothers.
In these islands the catechist is
also trained to become a powerful
aid in teaching religion, and Rev. j.
M. Aubin, S. NJ, of Rua Suva, Solomon
Islands, sends some facts that may
appeal to the charitable. He states
that one hundred dollars will support
a family of eatechists during the two
years needed for their education.
Thirty dollars a year is the sum paid
to each working catechist in the dis
tant posts, and there are forty-seven
of these in the mission. 1t is becom-
ing more and more difficult to pay
these catechists and impossible to add
to their number. Surely Father Aubin
should not be forgotten when we are
distributing our gifts.

PROTESTANT PRAISE FOR A

Wonders will never cease! In fact
wonders are on the increase in the

lightened among Protestants. Take
the following from the Pittsburg
Christian Advocate, Protestant:
1T is true that Protestant Britain
caves us z. Macauley and David Liv-

Spain that gave birth to the first real
modern missionary. This was Igna-
thus Loyola, a man with world Wis
ion. <.
1t was the Jesuit priest who first
broke down the barrier of seclusion
in China and Japan and gave to a
wondering posterity its first authen-
tic 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
10 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 flag
of conquest and dominion. We owe
debts to Ignatius Loyola-the splen-
did ideal of universal missionary en-

CATHOLICS OF BOTH SEXES RE.
SPOND TO CALL.

Whether the need is for fighting
men or for the trained nurse, an eX-
animation of the records. shows that
both in times Of peace and times Of
war the Catholics of the United
States have ever been found in the
vanguard. Ne pen can do justice to
the sacrifices of blood and treasure
made by these devoted citizens when
their country called. Not less note
worthy is the high standard of eff
cheney maintained by the Catholic Nurs-
ing Sisterhoods Where efficient train
sng may mean the saving of many
lives under their care, this is of ut
most Importance. Efficiency comes
% it's full flower of perfection among
the Sisterhoods trained to the min
utest detail the bare, ugly detail of
what is required of those who care
for the sick, wounded and helpless.
The light touch that soothes, the I'M
faltering will, the nerves of iron, the
wrist of steel, the gentleness, the COM
passion, and the calm, alert mind di-
recting, these essentials you will find
in every Catholic Sisterhood in the
United States. So far from regard
ing our Catholic brethren as a menace
to the well-being of this country we
point to their Order particularly as
showing the way to all the rest Of
us, whatever our religious beliefs and
opinions may be, in maintaining a
L.; 80 Of no info an6 of
cheney. A Catholic priest is first of all
man of education or he could not
occupy his position as priest. His
training is rigorous. He is scholar.
We shall not at this time, when the
City of New York is harboring a
noted evangelist with a sound percep-
ton of the money value of his sery-
ices, draw any comparisons, odious or
otherwise. Controversy, especially
religious controversy, is out of place
here, and does no good anywhere,
1t concerns us only to state that
we will not permit in silence any
aspersions upon the honor of that
great body of our public, the Catholics
of America. In our view. the benign
influence of that powerful organiza-
ton, the Catholic Church, holding as
most sacred it's beliefs, yet never eX-
ercising constraint to undermine the
freedom Of its followers, is a wonder,
a marvel, and an inspiration to all Of
us, whether we do or do not share
those beliefs.

WHAT THE CHILDREN ARE

Really touching are the letters re-
ceived from the primary grade chill
dren of st. Peters School, Caledonia,
Mimi, who, after we know not what
heroic self-denial, have gotten to-
gether fifteen dollars with which to
ransom three Chinese babies. Most
beautiful is the sentiment expressed
by the little ones of the first grade,
who desire 4 dying baby, that it may
go to heaven without delay, and SO
pray for them before the Throne of
the Heavenly Father.
The letters, indeed, show a thought
and feeling far in excess of the age of
the writer's. The first one runs:
with pleasure we send, you $1,000
for the ransome of two little heather
boys. Please name one of them
Matthias James Henry Matthias in
honor of our pastor, the Reverend
Matthias Borresch, and Henry in
honor of the godfather. The other
boy should be called Oswald Joseph
Benedict; st. Joseph is to be it's
patron; Benedict, in honor of our
teacher, and Oswald is godfather.
