HOME RULE IN INDIA AND ITS
Possibilities.

India is one of the countries con-
sidering the advantage of self-govern-
ment and the missionaries naturally
feel considerable interest in the mat
ter. Speculations of various natu1 es
have been penned by them and here
is the opinion of bishop as printed
in the "Jaffna Guardian"
I'VE have several times discussed
the chances of the Catholic Church
under Indian Home Rule, whatever be
its form, and come to the conclusion
that wherever the Church has become
Indian and sunk into the hearts of the
Indian people. as in the south India
and some parts of the north. she has
little or nothing to fear. On this par
ticular question we last week inter
viewed Mgr. Perrin, Bishop of Manga
lore. He declared he had no misgiv'
ings on the subject. as long as the
missionaries identified themselves
with the Indian people. becoming In

themselves will go and try to make
converts, instruct them, and bring
them to the priests: and this works
so we'll that the bishops and priests
here wish no other way. A layman is
placed at the head of each station and
performs many offices, including the
baptizing of children.
The blight of the Japanese Govern
ment is, as you know, on everything
in Japan and Korea. If the Koreans
announce their intention to become
Christian they are put under sur
veillance, visited every week by the
police, and obliged to submit to sus
picious questioning. AS result, the
conversions around Seoul have fallen
off fifty per cent.
Restrictions in regard to the schools
are of so severe a character that in
Japan the missioners see little hope
for the future. The Government
thinks it's salvation depends on hav
ing the people taught that the Jap
anese emperor is divine, that al
must be subordinated to the State
and it looks with ill-will upon any
other teaching and restricts it all il
dares: hopeless conf1ict-and there
seems to be no solution except in q
new regime.

are self-supporting and are employed
in teaching the Christians. Poor
humble peasants, without much educa
ton, they take no vows, cultivate theil
own fields, and live together a simple
community life, employing their time
chiefly in teaching the Christian chill
dren and in other works of charity.
The Jesuits in Japan were very
kind to us, and the Marist Brothers
were especially so. They are all do
ing a great work, but none of them see
any real hope of anything great under
present conditions, and they carry or
their work enduring, abiding the hour
of the grace of God. All whom have
met seem real missioners, rejoicing
to suffer all things to bring souls t.
God, and it is great happiness to live
in such an atmosphere.
More as we go along; for the pres

WHAT THE WORLD OWES TO THE

CHURCH..

"The next milestone in the history
of the development of libraries comes
in connection with the foundation of
the monasteries. The great Benedic-
tine monastery at Monte Casino was
endowed by Cassiodorus, who was
secretary of state for Theodore, the
Gothic king of Italy, about 500 A. D.
The Benedictines remained for many
centuries the most literary and
scholarly of all of the orders. In

young friend Benedict Cater st. Bene-

authors and later for manifolding fur

members of the choir are permitted to
pronounce many of these words. How
they should prize this privilege and

yet certain young women of this choir
