AMERICAN MISSIONARIES.

The New World, of Chicago, in a
recent editorial under the caption. For
Church and Country, refers as follows
to the recent departure for China of
the first Maryknoll missioners:
A notable ceremony took place a
few weeks ago when the first band of
American missionaries departed from
the seminary home to begin labors in
corner of China, which had lately
been turned over to its jurisdiction
by the ecclesiastical authorities. 1t
took many years of preparatory labor,
but the expectation now is that band
upon band will follow these pioneers.
Nor will China long remain the only
mission country that will be supplied
from America. The difficult start once
accomplished, we can look to the day
when every land of pagan popuIa-
ton will receive the ministry of
American missionaries. Aside from
the purely spiritual gains, there is a
consideration that is pregnant of pos
sibilities, particularly at this moment
when we weigh most things in the
scale of service to country. America
outside her own confines, is not
known as stronghold of the true
Faith. Our own spiritual needs were
SO many and SO pressing that we
Catholics could not look to mission
fields beyond our borders Where
there was less faith and more min
listers, it was a simple matter to send
of the surplus to foreign lands. And
this resulted in a broadcast impress.
sion that America is a Protestant
land America suffered as conse.
quence. The Catholic Church has
rank even in lands where the darkness
of heather night has not been fully
dispelled. The new missionaries, who
have gone into China, in sowing the
seeds of faith will SOW, too, those of
Americanism, that will develop to the
full bloom and reveal the land of
democracy and religious liberation. 1t
was no less momentous occasion
for the state than it was for the
Church when the first four American
Catholic missionaries sailed for China.

port to the men who stood before Him,
then His promise was of no use to St.
Paul; for he was not there.
But st. Paul had no fears on that
score. Am l not an Apostle" he
asks. And being an Apostle, he had
no doubts as to his power to trans
NIT his apostolic power to others.
And the reason for all this! How plain
he makes the purpose and the neces-
sity of Christs provision for the per-
petuation of His Faith and His Com
| mandments amidst the changes of a
changing world: Keep" he says to
Timothy, Keep the good deposit by
the Holy Ghost Who dwelleth in us. y
This is what we Catholics mean by
| the office of Bishop. This is why
we have so great respect for the
| hierarchy: Because from the days
when the Apostles-on whom Christ,
| Goodman, breathed while He said to
them: Receive We the Holy Ghost
! from the days when they conse-
| Grated st. Paul and Barnabas; from
| the days when st. Paul consecrated
Titus and Timothy, down to this year
of our Lord 1918, the conservation of
| bishops has gone on without a break !;
| the line of succession from the
| Apostles on whom Christ breathed is
| unbroken; because the means used
| by st. Paul to make sure that "the
good deposit" of Christ's faith and
revelation should be preserved; the
| means ordained by Christ for the
unity of His flock and the preserva
| ton of His teachings in mems minds
are still in use in the Church; the
succession of bishops goes on; always
at their head the Bishop of Rome, the
| See of st. Peter.
''How shall they believe" asks St
Paul of the Romans, "how shall they
believe if they do not hear? And how
shall they hear without a preacher
| And how shall they preach unless
| they be sent?" Sent by whom? BY
whomsoever might fancy to do some
| sending? Hardly. st. Paul would not
have admitted the right of any chance
passer-by to send men out to keep
the good deposit"
Our duty towards the Bishops OF
the Church is defined for us by St
| Paul:
"Obey your prelates and be subject
to them. For they watch as being to
render an account of your souls; that
they may do this with joy and not
with grief" (Hebrews, XIII. 10

FIND THE MORAL OF THE STORY

Listen to the experience of a priest
in New York City parish, says F.
NJ. in The Catholic Union and Times.
New York is very Catholic city.
Bigotry, of course, there is against
the Church. But it is not popular.
But let the priest speak: 81 was

young man. He was baptized a Cath

him and the rest of the children and
had been sending them to her own
minister's church. Externally they
were Professionals, but the Catholic
crop was in them. They were all
baptized Catholics. The fathers name
is Mr.. Worldly Wiseman, a pacifist, a
hen-pecked, spineless parody of a
man.
"All went well till her own minister
called. Thereafter the mother met
me at the door, only to tell me that
the boy was sleeping, or that he was
nervous, or that | would make him

flage and said to her in quiet, cour-

'Sir!' she retored with-a rasp in
her voice and a scowI on her face,
how dare you stand there and ask
me such a question? | am afraid of
no man. And / believed her. So

Thereby hangs tale: a Catholic
boy dying without the consolation of
the sacraments, three others living
without them. And their children?
And their children's children? This

Her husband is a non-Catholic. A man
of rare culture and refinement. He
dislikes what he calls the narrowness
of Catholics. From the day of her
marriage, several years ago, she had

The poor apostate mother came back

the ghost of well-founded fear, that
after her death the father will steal
away the child from the Church. He

will be brought up Catholic. The
promise would pluck the thorns from
her pillow and assuage the bitterness

TWO MOTHERS

Father O'Leary had visited both
mothers, and he carried away some
strong impressions. The attitudes of
the women differed intensely.

priest had spoken-Eddie Lee and
Barney McManus. Chums and altar
boys they had been from the day Sis

They wanted to be like their pastor.
They wanted daily to draw down the
