Jesuits in Japan.-It may not be
generally known that the Jesuit Faith
ers conduct large university in Tok-
yo, Japan-one having standing
equal to the best European universe
| ties. A large amount of money is
needed to run such an institution, but
| the capital is we'll invested in a coun-
| try like Japan. Rev. Mark j. McNeal,
/ S. j., who is making a request Tor
help, submits this statement: The
aim of our university may be succinct-
ly stated as twofold: to build up
| group of intellectual leaders, both lay
and clerical, among the Catholics OF
| Japan, and to represent the Catholic
church as a learned and progressive
body before the educated public of
Japan"
Ruthenians Returning.-A consider
| able movement of return to the Uniat
| Church is taking place among the
Ruthenians of Galicia. Under pres
sure from Russia these Ruthenians
| were forced either to renounce the re-
ligion in which they were brought up
and embrace the Russian Orthodox
faith or else be exiled from their ma
tive land. Numbers of them accepted
the Russian State religion, but equally
large numbers preferred to go into
exile, many of them finding refuge
in Canada and the United States. The
return movement seems to center
around the city of Lemberg, where
remarkably large number have re-
turned to the spiritual obedience OF
the Ruthenian Archbishop, Mgr. de
Szeptycki, the Metropolitan of Galicia.
Famous Pedagogue Dead.-The
death at Leitmeritz, Bohemia, of Pro-
fessor Otto Willmann, deprives the
world of one of it's greatest peda-
gogues and apostles of Christian ideal
ism. Willmann was native of Pc
sen and lived to the ripe old age OF
eighty-one years. From 1872 to 1908 he
held the chair of educational science
and philosophy in the University OF
Prague. The outside world knows him
mainly through his Geschichte DIES
lIdealismmus 6 vols.) and his two
volume Didaktik ais Bildungslehre,
which Father Felix M. Kirsch, O. M.
Cap, of Herman, Pa, has translated
| into English but not yet published
We trust this important treatise will
soon appear in English and that 1t
will be followed by an English version
of the History of Idealism," which
is really complete history of phil
osophy from the standpoint of Cath
Ollie idealism. We need such works
in English.
Honor st. James.-The feast of, San
tiago ell Mayor" Saint James the
Greater, the patron saint of Spain.
was celebrated all over the Iberic
Peninsula with unusual splendor and
solemnity. King Alfonso sent, as his
personal representative to the cele-
bration at the City of Santiago de
| ompostela,-where the remains of
the Apostle are kept and venerated,-
His Royal Highness, the Infante Don
Fernando. He presided over the ira
ditional festivities and presented to
Santiago the legendary offering of
! the king of Spain and of the Spanish
nation Early in the morning of July
25, the Infante and the Knights of
Santiago attended Mass and received
Holy Communion in a body. Finally
Don Fernando touched the sword of
the Apostle and gave the ancient
statue of Santiago the traditional
| embrace.
For Religious Unity.-The Right
Rev. Bishop of Paderborn has ap-
proved the scope and the statutes of
a new society, founded by the Rev.
Gisbert Menge, a franciscan, for the
purpose of establishing religious UNI
ity The organization is the outcome
of book written several years ago
by Father Menge, in which he pointed
out the necessity of putting into effect
our Lords words: Zone fold and
One Shepherd" The members are
pledged to strive for this consumma-
ton by reciting each day prescribed
prayer and by leading such exemplary
lives that others will be attracted to
the faith Thus they not only gain
adherents to the true religion, but are
able to store up many graces for
themselves.
