theless attracted to the meetings by
the outfit itself; are held there by the
bold yet courteous nature of the talk,
until finally their interest being
aroused they push forward eager to
be among the first to buy the books
In many instances long standing pref
udices against the church are re-
moved, and the doubts concerning the
doctrines which she teaches are
cleared up.
The practical work of the Guild,
as viewed from it's effect on Catholics,
is most striking. The clear yet cour-
teous presentment of the doctrines of
the church by the speakers stimulates
the faith of the Catholics in the audi
ence; they go away from the meet
ings heartened in the Faith, while
many back-sliding Catholics and even
renegade Catholics, who for one rea-
son or other have drifted away, are
encouraged to come back into the one
true fold. The large amount of lit
erature distributed cannot fail, but in
due time, to produce a better under
standing of what the Catholic church
really stands for. There are instances,
not few either, in which the speak
ers know of converts that have been
made to the Faith, yet time alone can
tell the ultimate result of the words
which are spoken and the books which
are distributed at the various meet
ings. The results are in the hands of
God. The Home Missions have al
ways been pressing consideration of
the church and now that the field is
white to the harvest, it is the devOut
wish and prayer of both Mrs. Martha
Moore Avery, the president of the
Guild, and Mr.. David Goldstein, it's
secretary, that this new movement
which they have inaugurated and
which is meeting with such success,
will soon be extended to nationwide
proportions and that in Gods own
time there will be an auto van in
every state in our beloved Union, hav.
ing for it's mission "To make the Cath
olic church better known and loved"
The writer himself, having heard
and read so much about the work,
came to Boston from Baltimore espe-
cially to study, at first hand, the pol
icy and practical working of the Guild.
AS chairman of the various meetings
held this season the writer has been
able to see and thus understand the
reason why the work has met with
such success. It is indeed wonderful
sight to watch the deep almost
breathless interest of the hundreds
who, night after night gather about
the car standing for over two hours
listening to Catholic doctrine and
Catholic practices explained. The
work is certainly noble one and the
writer has found the officers of the
Guild most hospitable in aiding and
encouraging others to take up the
work All praise is due his eminence
Cardinal O'Connell, whose farsighted-
ness and loyal support of the move
ment has made possible the Guilds
success. And if the slogan America
Catholic is ever to be realized it will
be largely due to the patriotic efforts
and self-sacrifice of the patron and
founders of the Catholic Truth Guild.

truth of philosophy should be preached
not alone from the altar but also by
laymen on the street corner, if for no
other reason than to counteract the
vicious and unpatriotic not to say bias
phemous utterances of those who
abuse liberty in the name of liberty"
"The street corner is the natural for
um of democracy and woe is coming
to a people of whom it can be said in
the words of Scripture: Wisdom cries
out in the street and no one marks
it,"
1t is we'll to repeat that this new
movement has the appreciation of the
highest ecclesiastics in the country,
and its success is assured. Over
twenty-three Archbishops and Bishops
have given carte blanche" to the
speakers of the Guild in their respect
i've dioceses. Cardinal O'Connell on
Boston Common, last year, before the
thousands assembled there. welcomed
back to Boston the speakers who had
just completed transcontinental tour
of the country. The auto van had
been previously shipped across coun-
try to San Francisco and there, in the
civic center of the golden-gate city,
before thousands gathered about the
car, the long journey back to Boston
was begun. Meetings were held in all
the large cities and towns en- route;
thousands of copies of Father Martins
Catholic Religion" were sold, and
everywhere along the $4,000 miles of
territory covered the speakers were
greeted by enthusiastic audiences. The
Western Catholic commenting on the
practical work of the Guild says:
The success of the Boston enterprise
gives promise of stirring of the ma
tions soul such as has never before
been experienced" while the Catholic
Federation of America in convention
assembled in Kansas City greeted the
advent of this auto van outdoor cam
paign with a set of resolutions calling
for it's extension to nationwide pro-
portions.
Hundreds of meetings have been ad-
dressed by the Guild speakers; lit
erature to the amount of 100000 books
on the Catholic religion; 1000 volumes
of books refuting Socialism; and 5O,-
900 pamphlets on Sociological prob
lens from the Catholic standpoint
have been distributed.
The work having now passed it's
experimental stage, has clearly dem
onstrated to even the most critical
mind that the time is now ripe for
Catholic laymen to go out into the
open and carry the truths of the
Catholic church to the man in the
street. Eerybody knows that it is
extremely difficult to get those not
of the faith to attend a mission to
non-Catholics where things Catholic
are explained. No means is more ef-
fective than outdoor campaigning to
meet this difficulty, for the recent
transcontinental tour of the Guild has
clearly demonstrated that, while there
are thousands of men and women who
have never had the opportunity to
know what the Catholic church
teaches, through no fault of their own:
and many thousands who are preju-
diced against the church, are never

REPORTS FROM AGRI-
CULTURAL SITUATION

The heads Of the different bureaus
of the State Department of Agricul-
ture held their monthly conference
Wednesday to take up the problems
which are just now prominent with
the farming interests of the State.
According to the reports of the
members of the Bureau of Plant In
dustry. this seems. to be the banner
year for bugs and insects of all
kinds. Potato BEETLES. cancer worms,
cut worms, cherry tree ugly, corn
borer, and almost every pest known
to the vegetable kingdom. seem to be
exceedingly vigorous and hard at
work destroying crops, so that the
members of this division are busy
helping the farmers to combat these
various pests with the proper poisons
and other remedies. Many parties
are constantly calling on for the
various remedies for these Difficult
ties.
The new pest, which is causing so
much damage to corn in Massachu-
sets is being guarded against an3
every precaution is being used to
prevent it's introduction into the
State of Maine. This worm, known
as the European corn borer, is very
destructive when it gets a foothold.
and whenever corn is found which
is infested with any kind of a borer,
1t is safe proposition to destroy the
stock absolutely, and not give this
pest an opportunity to gain a foot
hold in the State.
c. H. Crawford. the sheep special
list, reported that there is a marked
improvement in the condition Of
many f1ocks in the State where the
proper remedies for sheep diseases
have been followed out. and it was
brought out that one of the most
promising fields Of improvement in
sheep husbandry is to develop a sys-
tenn. whereby communities will or
ganize to produce a high grade of
wool. instead of a variety of grades
| of questionable value.
A. NJ. G. Soule. speaking of the
work Of the Bureau of Inspection
brought out the fact that the fer
tilizer inspection has been practically
| completed for this season and has
been more difficult than usual owing
to the wide distribution of many
brands in smaller lots than usual
1t is learned that 140O tons of raw
chemicals have been bought by one
association in Aroostook county for
trial this season, and the results will
be watched with interest. Farmers
are cautioned to watch the grade of
the cottonseed which they buy as
some brands coming into the State
are very inferior.

were Commissioner of Agriculture
