mittee on Catholic Affairs and Inter
ests, announced yesterday that he had

kind since the third plenary council of

ence, as stated by Cardinal Gibbons,
will be to organize committees to study
and work for the welfare of the church
and the country, particularly along So
cial and educational lines 1t will dis
cuss not only purely ecclesiastical
questions, but social and educational
problems involved in legislation under
consideration by congress, will formu-
late uniform Catholic policy, and co
ordinate, as far as possible, DIOCESAN
activities.
Meetings of all the bishops of the
country, with the express approval of
Pope Benedict, will be held annually
hcncefcrth, for the discussion of Cath
ollie affairs. At these a general program
Of Catholic activities win be outlined,
to carry on which it is proposed to raise
a fund of millions of dollars.
The idea of the general conference of
he hierarchy grew out Of the recent
meeting of prelates at the celebration of
Cardinal Gibbons s jubilee. The pro
Jet was approved by Archbishop Ger
rctti. then on a visit to the United
States Archbishop Bonzano, the apos-
tolc delegate, and Cardinal Gibbons.
Subsequently it was formally approved
Ivy Pope Benedict in letter to Cardinal
Gibbons.
Preparations for the meeting next

ford. ILL.,, vice chairman; the Right
! Rev. J. Schrcmbs, bishop of Toledo; J
s Glass. bishop of Salt Lake City, ant
w. r. Russell, bishop of Charleston.
The general committee will meet from
time to time to arrange full program
for the conference, the work of which
if the cardinal S suggestion is adopted
will bc carried on continuously by ;
permanent bureau, TO be established a
/ the capital.
Among the subjects tentatively sug
gested for consideration by Cardina
j. ! Gibbons are the raising Of a fund 70
the Holy See, hcme and foreign mis-
sions, the Catholic University, CathoH

and general legislation.

E1@a VISION E ~
UNITED IN THE FAITH.

The mission Of Moukden, in Central
Manchuria, has had its reverses and
its bright days like other missions.
But Bishop Choulet, P. F. NJ, states
that in spite of all, the established
works have not only been maintained,
but developed. The Cathedral was
never SO well attended as at last
Easter and at the Communion rail
were gathered French, Americans,
English, Danish, Portuguese, Japa-
nese, Koreans and Chinese-all hap
PLY united in their common faith.
Moukden has a seminary for the
training of native clergy and a. sec
ondary school where younger children
can receive a good education without
going to pagan classes. There is also
a convent for girls directed by the
Sisters, and some catechist schools
where people of both sexes receive
instruction in the catechism.
To these may be added an orphan
asylum and home for the aged, II All
these valuable institutions were
founded since 1900 when the Boxers
practically destroyed the mission, so
that it will be seen that wars and ru-
mors of war are not able to kill the
germ of religion in our much-harassed
mission countries. Manchuria is bar
rem, cold and remote from civilization,
but wonderful work is being accom-
plished there. ill.,.

PATIENT IN THEIR MISERY.

Father Yer Ecke, p. F. M, writes
of the people of his part of China:
with the exception. of a few land
lords, merchants and farmers, the in
habitants of North Kansu are poor
They do not own factories, there is
no commerce, and to be envied are
the favored few who can pay all their
debts at the end of the year.
Most of the people borrow eontinu.
ally and exist by makeshift methods.
1t is sad TO see a host of creditors de-
seer lins upon the luckless 1aborers
like vtltures when the harvest season
is finished. Often the poor peasants
have scarcely enough left to keep
body and soul together during the
coming months. :. The missionary
yearns to assist these sufferers. Well
he realizes that lack of suitable cloth
ing deters many from attending divine
service. The cost Of clothing has
greatly augmented during the war.
These naive people accept their fate
with a sad resignation inherited from
generations of humble ancestors.
- Our fathers, they say philoso-
phically, had no more. Why should
We complain? Let US be patient

THE MOST IMPORTANT BRANCH
or MISSIONARY WORK.

A letter signed by all the bishops OF
Tonkin asks help intfounding. secon
Diary schools and colleges in that coun
try The communication is an impor.
tant one and states clearly the cry,
ing need of the times in the mission
airy world, which is schools, and more
schools. The natives are demanding
education, and if the Catholics are
not able to furnish it, they will go
to those who can. E.
The letter.:
Although already sorely pressed by
the expense of maintaining works
founded some years ago, we are busy
seeking everywhere, by all varieties
of means, sufficient money to push
forward the cause of Catholic educa,
ton. We have fair number of pri-
mary schools; but, besides improv-
ing and multiplying these, we must
establish normal schools as we'll as
high schools.
1.-The government has plenty of such
institutions, and it is only natural
that our Christians are tempted to
send their children there. But the
education given is not Catholic, and
Is grave menace to our young people
We will receive with equal gratitude
small as well as large sums, and hope
our voices will not be raised in vain,
for our need is great"

ST. JOSEPH Is A GOOD MODEL

In West Africa is a little band of
priests of the Holy Ghost community
that has been giving valiant service
for the past fifteen years. Death and
disease have thinned the ranks, but
others filled them unhesitatingly
though they saw suffering and per-
haps death at the end of the trail. y
The Very Rev. Father Shanahan has
been placed over the whole prefecture
apostolic of Adamana in Northern
CAMERON, and he says: I!
AN order like this gives one an
idea of what st. Joseph must have
felt when he was told in the middle
of the night to get up and go over to
Egypt with the Divine Infant and His
Mother. At his age, with his means
of transport, the path through the
desert into exile must have appeared
to him helplessly long. Yet he got
there because he did his part like a
man, knowing right we'll that God
would do the rest
May st. Joseph help me and my
handful of priests to carry the Divine
Infant over the long, dreary path that
leads to Adamana. 1t will mean SO
much to the poor people not to lose
Him. 1t will mean great consolation
to them to see the priest again, to
have their confessions heard, to assist
at Mass and receive Holy Com
munion.'

teacher was duly found, and began
his work under the awning in front

allegiance of something better, which

RELGlANS AS MISSIONARY
PRIESTS.

"Give me Belgians," was the favor
lite motto of st. Francis Xavier, when
he had started his soul-gaining work
in the Far East and had to appeal to
his superiors for more willing helpers
in the mission field.
No one who is acquainted with the
history of the Catholic missions and
Catholic missionary work, will deny
the heroic zeal. devotion and endur-
ance OF those laborers in the vineyard
of Christ which Catholic Belgium sup
piled during the sixteenth, seven
teenth and eighteenth centuries. ~
In later years, they have also
gained prominence through the For
eign Mission Society, founded in 1852
by Father Verbist and Father Van
Segvelt at Scheut-les-B ruxelles.
Tho 1hembersfof the society are gen
orally known as the Scheut Fathers.
Their chief field of action is in Mon
golia, that desolate and forbidding
part of North China formerly consid-
cred hopeless for the Apostolate.
They also perform important work in
the Belgian Congo and in the Philip
pine Islands.

BEING A GOOD CHINAMAN ESSEN

Rev. j. V. Blanco, O. p, says OF
Apostolic endeavor in China:
ITO the gravity and dignity of his
office the missionary must add not
only a mastery of the Chinese Ian
guage and literature, but also thor
ough knowledge of the manners and
customs of that people, one of the
most peculiar on earth.
Let him not delude himself with
the idea that as a foreigner he need
not practice these customs, which he
may find ridiculous and quite contrary
to ours. If he does not adapt him.
self to them and follow the traditions
of the most ceremonious nation on
this planet, he will be irretrievably
condemned as a barbarian, and even
his spiritual labcrs will be all in vain
In the presence of civilization sc
different from ours, he must at all
costs avoid giving any sign of i'm
patience or dislike, and still more be-
ware of anything like contempt OF
ridicule
Let him meet everything with a
smiling face, never doubling that the
uphill work will come to an end and
on the summit he will discover, to
his JOY, new and wide horizons with
golden harvests for the granary OF
our Heavenly Father"
