Church Militant in these reconstruc
ton days, the need of an organization
in every diocese in order to make
clear realization of the dangers con
fronting society, cannot be doubted.
The volcano of revolution and an
archy is opening on the path of al
Christians. While the gates of hell
will never entirely prevail against the
Church, the greater or less success OF
the Church will be measured in large
part by the cooperation of the indi
vidual members.
There are breakers ahead" the in
| dividuals of all churches can hear the
| tocsin sounding in Russia and Ger.
many. This warning is a call to the
earnest, moral, upright people of this
! generation to arise and stand shoulder
| to shoulder, in order to defend their
affairs and their "reminiscences.
! Much socialism is anti-Christian
The Bolshevikism of Europe is de-
cidedly nti-Christian, and the or
| ganization of all Christian forces may
be necessary to cope with it, and with
the help of the Lord to finally
crush it.

asked to join the Church. Organiza

Pastors of all churches are further
ing it's object in every possible way
The question of proselytizing natur'
ally arises in the minds of Catholics
Nothing in the above order is ever
| done, as experience in the past justi
| fies the remark, without the accom-
| panying evils of proselytization. II
behooves all pastors and laity to be
on guard to offset such attack by re
newed zeal.
