JAPAN,S RELIGIOUS ATTITUDE

The following remarks are taken
from an article entitled "The Great
Obstacle to the Evangelization of
Japan" which appeared in a Roman
Catholic journal of Paris. There is no
doubt that our religion is seriously
menaced in Japan, and this extract is
another note of warming:
'sThe means adopted by the Japan
ese Government for intoxicating in the
minds and habits of the population the
practice of the national cult are partly
hidden from us by the secrecy envel
oping certain Ministerial instructions,
which are addressed to military Off.
GERS, to school masters, and to Shinto
and Buddhist priests.
The accumulation of testimony
from various quarters is sufficient to
convince one of the existence of these
instructions, and though their precise
tenor cannot be learned, the facts in
dictate its tendencies sufficiently. 1t
cannot be denied, at least, that the
custom, established during the last
few years in all the schools subject to
official direction, of taking the chill
dren to the temples of local tutelary
deities or to the national temples on
days when the spirits of the soldiers
who die for their country are honored,
proceeded from word of command
emanating from high quarter
1T is known also that, besides the
gathering of Representatives of the
three religions already referred to,
where the Home Minister enjoined
each of the religions to serve the
cause of the Imperial House, several
assemblies of Buddhist or Shinto
priests, officially conveked, have been
held at Tokyo, and one may suppose,
without fear or error, that the repre-
-sentatives of these two religions re-
ceived detailed instructions"

PIONEER AMERICAN IN AFRICA

The vast and difficult field of the
Dark Continent as yet knows little of
Americans as missionary workers, but
the entering wedge has been made
and the National Office of the S. P. F.
has just received a letter from one of
these pioneer apostles whose name
is Rev. John c. Simon, C. S. Sp., with
residence at Waterloo, Sierra Leon.
This region is one of the hardest in all
Africa for the white man.

if funds are available and forthcom

small extra sum will also be required
to defray the travelling expenses and
cost of simple remedies to be dis

distinction of caste or creed.

with all the earnestness I can
command to the readers of The Catho

GLADSTONE ON THE CATHOLIC MATTHEW ARNoLD's VIEW OF
CHURCH. CATHOLICISM vs

Gladstone thus describes the Cath
Ole Church in civilizing the world:
She has marched for fifteen hun
dred wears at the head of civilization,
and has halnessed to her chariot, as
the hOnorS of a triumphal car, the
chief intellectual and material forces
of the world. Her art is the art of the
world, her greatness, glory, grandeur
and majesty have been almost, though
not absolutely, all that, in these re-
spects. the world has had to boast of.
Her children are more numerous than
all the members of the sects COM
bined. and she is every day charging
the boundaries of her vast empire.
Her affairs are raised in every
cline, and her missionaries are TO be
found wherever there are men to be
taught the evangel OF Immortality and
souls are to be saved.
And this wondrous Church, which
is as old as Christianity and as uni
versal as mankind, is today, after
twenty centuries Of age, as fresh and
vigorous and as fruitful as on the day
when the Pentecostal fires were show
cred upon the earth.
surely such an institution chal-
lengeS the attention and demands and
deserves the most serious eXamina-
lion from those outside its pale"

FOR GERMAN MOTHER
MISSING SON OF GERMAN PAR.
EMIT is FOUND. BY KNIGHTS OF
COLUMBUS IN AMERICAN REGI.
MENT IN SOUTH CAROLINA.

The happiest platoon sergeant in the
Forty-eighth Infantry at Camp Jackson,
S. c., today is Hans Wedemann. Two
months ago the newspapers told the
story Of how the Knights of Columbus
had been requested to find Sergeant
Wedemann, when his mother wrote a
letter appealing to the Casey or
ganization from her little home in
Hamburg, Germany. Mrs. Wedemann
told how she had not heard from her
boy, who was an American soldier
stationed in the Canal zone, for sew
eral years.
Among the many thousand persons
attracted by the story was Miss Isabel
Becker of Brooklyn, n. Y. Miss
| Becker, after reading the sad plight
| OF the German woman, correspondent
| with a soldier whom She knew was
! stationed at Panama and requested
him to find out if Sergt. Wedemann
| was still located there. After short
delay Miss Becker received an an
swer to her request. The letter stated
that Wedemann had been transferred
to Company NJ, Forty-eight Infantry
at Camp Jackson. She turned the in
| formation over to the knights of Co
lumbus Committee on War Activities
and the soldier was located. Z

of the newspapers in assisting the
Knights of Columbus to locate me-

A few weeks ago a lady in Brooklyn

newspapers printing a letter from my
mother, and l Immediately sent her
word of my whereabouts.

1t was only C trick Of fate which kept
me in the States. You see I was
among the fellows of the old regulars
who had been kept on this side to
train the fellows who went overseas
and did the job in such thorough
fashion. How can ever thank the
newspapers--how can I ever repay
the knights of Columbus for bring
} ing my dear mother and myself to

rest of my life
After locating Sergt. Wedemann
William P. Larkin, Overseas Directo
of the Knights, sent the following ca
: blegram from New York to Mrs
: Wedemann:

Matthew Arnold once wrote:

Matthew Arnold once wrote.
Catholicism is that form of Chris
tianity which is the oldest, the larg-
est, the most popular. 1t has been
the great popular religion of Christen-
dom. Who has seen the poor in other
churches as they are seen in Catholic
churches? Catholicism envelopes hui
man life, and Catholics in general feel
themselves to have drawn not only
their religion from their Church, but
they feel themselves to have drawn
from her, too, their art and poetry
and culture. Her hierarchy, original
ly stamped with the character of a
beneficent and orderly authority
springing up amidst anarchy, appeared
as offering career where birth was
disregarded and merit regarded, and
the things of the mind of the iron
feudal age which worshipped solely
birth and force. And if there is a
thing specially alien to religion, it is
divisions; if there is thing specially
native to religion it is peace and
union. Hence the original attraction
towards unity in Rome, and hence the
great charm when that unity is once
attained All these spells for the
heart and Imagination has Catholicism
for Catholics, in addition to the con-
seriousness of a divine cure for vice
and misery"

GREAT LOSS TO THE CHURCH IN
PORTO RICO. Z

Right Rev. w. A. Jones, O. S. A.
Bishop of Porto Rico, says that a con
sentative estimate of church property
destroyed or damaged by the earth
quake will total about 100000. Small
shocks are still being felt, but it is
hoped the worst is past. 1t seems that
about every fifty years violent earth
quakes affect the island, causing i'm
mense damage. In the present case
seven parish churches, some of then
large and handsome structures, were
entirely destroyed, with, Of course
many other buildings.

NO PRESBYTERY FOR THIS
PRIEST.

The priest who lives two miles from
his church has good reason to ask fol-
presbytery, which presumably he
would put in close proximity to the
house of worship. Bishop Castor Ro
bichez, S. J., of Trincomalee, India
writes that in the new parish of St
Sebastian there is a church for the
native converts, but the missionary as
yet has no house. He therefore lodges
with another apostle two miles away
and spends most of his time travelling
over the dusty roads. Buildings in
India do not often cost very much
especially if they are built by Catho
lie. missionaries, but this apostle
seems too poor even to put UP the
usual straw-thatched shelter.

81 have therefore decided to con.
struct a new church in honor of the
Immaculate Conception, and turn the
old church into school. The whole
would mean an outlay of several thou

WAGON STRUCK BY
PASSENGER TRAIN
Wagon Belonging TO Dan Williams
Hit by Passenger Train at Herman
vile Tuesday Afternoon, and Ne
gro Driver Badly Injured.

Hermanville was the scene Of a
tragic accident Tuesday afternoon
tear six o'clock when the south-bound
passenger train struck the wagon Of
Dan Williams at the crossing on the
main street Of the town, critically in
turing the negro driver, whose name
the Reveille could not learn, giving
Mr.. Williams q bad shock, and killing
one Of the mules attached TO the
wagon.
Neither Mr.. Williams nor the driver
heard the train as it was pulling up
to the station, and the wagon was on
the track before they realized the
daager. The wagon, occupants and
team were carried nearly a hundred
ards before the train could be stopp-
ed. Mr.. Williams was caught on the
cow catcher Of the engine under the
bodv Of the wagon, and this no doubt
saved his life, though he suffered a
severe shock. The driver was less
fortunate, being badly injured, and
may die from the effects Of his in
juries. One Of the mules was so bad
" manned that it was put to death
tc relieve it Of its sufferings.
DR.. Jones was Immediately summon
ed to administer to the unfortunate
regro who was rendered unconscious.
The last report was that he had not
regained consciousness and would
probably die,
The railroad track runs through the
center Of the town, and the crossing
is a dangerous place.
