Catholic Congress In Holland.-A
Catholic congress has recently been
held for the first time in Holland.
There had already been provincial
Catholic congresses in different parts
of the country, but this was the first
occasion upon which Catholic repre-
sentatives of the whole of Holland met
in assembly. Since last November,
when the Catholic organizations and
the military quelled the Socialistic
revolution, the general Congress Of
Catholics has been thought of. Con-
trary to France, where it is the higher
classes give the best example regard
ing religion, in Holland more faithful
Catholics are to be found amongst the
working people and the middle
classes. The Archbishop and Bishops,
as we'll as four Catholic members of
the cabinet, were present. The sub
ject selected for discussion was the
duty of Catholics at the present day.
The Archbishop delivered an eloquent
expressed the desire that there should
soon be Catholic university estab-
lished.
American Missioners way Care For
Lepers.-Figures tell us that there are
probably two hundred thousand lepers
in South China. portion of the Celes-
tial Republic in which the Maryknoll
mission (of the American Foreign
Mission Seminary is situated. A
quarter of a million is a large num-
Der, though the unenviable distinction
of having the largest number of lepers
in proportion to the whole population
belongs to India. The French Cath
Ollie missioners in Canton Diocese,
seventy miles from the Maryknollers,
operate the famous leper asylum of
Sheklung, on an island near the city
| of Canton. 1t is not improbable that
| the Maryknoll missioners will some
! day establish a similar refuge for this
abominated class of human beings in
their own locality. At present, small
groups of lepers may be found dwell
/ ing in wretched quarters at the out
skirts of many Chinese villages.
Boycott of Caedon Catholics
Some remarkable facts concerning ar
attempt to prescribe and Danish the
Catholics of Caledon, Ireland, were
elected during the hearing of a CASE
| in Dublin recently. 1t was sworn in
evidence, and not controverted, that
whereas before the strike last yeal
| at Caledon woollen mills the workers
were divided equally between Cath
! olcs and ProteStantS, no single Cath
Ollie is now employed. Members Of
| both religions took part in the strike
but all Catholics were barred from re
! turning to work, and Protestants have
! been imported to take their places
| This, however. is not all, for not only
are the Catholics denied work, but al
effort is also being made to evic
| them from their houses. Under the
color of law the Orange bigots are en-
worst provisions of the penal code
But by no means has the last beer
heard of these scandalous proceed
ings, and the Orange owners of thu
Caledon wOollen mills will not in thu
end have reason to appreciate the ad
\ vertisement they are going to receive
| Oppose Two Evils.-At the genera
monthly meeting of the Dublin Irisl
l Vigilance Association on December
it was decided to issue the following
to the press for publications: There
are two evils which for years have
been threatening the highest Interests
of our people, viz, the immoral picture
house and theater, and evil literature
The country seems at last to have
realized the urgent necessity of com
batting the former. The Irish Vigi
lance Association feels it to be it's dut,
now to appeal to the people to organ
| iZe against the latter. 1t is not al
easy matter to decide which of thes'
two evils is the greater They CONF
to us from the same quarter: they ar
both the products of minds of tn
); same character; and they are both pri
marily intended for people un-Chris
tan and largely pagan. Under SOM
aspects the evil literature is more tel
ribly dangerous. 1t may enter wher
!; the cinema and the theater canno
operate. These latter are confined t.
the cities and owns; but the ba
