THREE AIMS. IN PILGRIMAGE.

(By N. G. w. c. News Service.)
Not the least gratifying reminder
which the recent Czecho-Slovak pill
grimage to Rome left with the Holy
Father was the beautiful cut glass
vase, richly adorned with jewels and
the portraits of the patron Saints of
Bohemia, and affectionately inscrib-
ed, ITO the Pope of Peace from the
Czecho-Slovak Pilgrims"
This party of some 700 Czechs and
Slovaks came to Rome with important
objects in mind.
The first was to thank the Holy Fa-
ther for the pacifcation of the world
and his generous gifts to the starving
children and the prisoners of war.
The second purpose was to express
the gratitude of the Czecho-Slovak
people for his approval of the restora-
tion of the Slav liturgy in the churches
of that country, and for his assistance
to the priests in building new places
of worship.
The third aim was to show the
world that in spite of the fierce on
slaughts, of the enemies of the Church
of Christ, Czecho- Slovakia has thou

staeles or difficulties and who are glad

TO HELP THE MISSIONS.
CATHOLIC STUDENTS MISSION
cRUSADE-OBJEcT AND SCOPE
OF NEW ORGANIZATION.

The Catholic Students Mission Cru
sade was first inaugurated in Ger
many in 1910, at the University of
Munster, where the first Catholic pro-
fessor's chair was founded to teach
the mission science. In a short time
the movement spread to Austria, and
in 1914 it was launched in the United
States at Techny, ILL.,, under the guild
ance of the Society of the Divine
Word. The students at Techny read in
the Field Afar" of conference of the
Protestant Student Volunteer Move
ment at which some 5000 delegates
were present. Immediately the ques-
tion suggested itself, ''Why have not
Catholic students done the same
thing?" Straight came the answer:
Simply because no one has ever start
ed the ball rolling!" In this seemingly
insignificant occurrence we see the be-
ginning OF what promises to be a
worldwide crusade.
The primary object of the C. S. M.
6. is very well expressed in their mot
to: "The Sacred Heart for the world.
and the world for the Sacred Heart"
1t is an organization to promote the
interests of home and foreign missions.
The Crusade wishes to enroll from
the Catholic students of the United
States a band of "home apostles" who
will labor zealously to acquire knowl-
edge of Catholic Missions and to pro-
mote mission interest and activity
among all classes of Catholics. In its
membership it includes under the title
OF Senior Unit all Catholic young men
and women who are enrolled in any
one OF our Catholic high schools, con-
vents, academies, or universities. The
Junior unit includes in it's member
ship all Catholic children who are still
in the grammar school. They are affili-
ated with the Senior Unit and thus
they carry on the work of the Cru
sade.
From time to time more will be pub
lished regarding the activities of the
&. S. M. G. in our Catholic schools of
the archdiocese of st. Paul. Facts will
be given to show the admirable work
which has been done so far: figures
will also be printed to show the ur
gent need for missionary work both in
the United States and abroad.

An inspiring address by the new
pastor of the Cathedral, Rev. John J.
Tracy, report of the national meeting
OF the National Council Of Catholic
Women by the diocesan delegate, Mrs.
F. J. Lange, discussion Of tuberculosis
work in Montana, and the organiza-
ton of work and study clubs, made
the meeting of the Catholic Woman's
League last week at st. Helena Hall

In his address to the women, Fa-
ther Tracy told of the immense
amount of good such organizations
as theirs might do, of the many ways
in which they could be of help to stu
dents working in colleges and univer-
stiles, and promised his assistance to
any work which they might undertake.
In Mrs. Lange's report of the con-
vention in Washington, there were
many suggestions which will be adopt
ed and used as a working basis for
the organization. Two study circles
one literary and the other for the
study of current events-will be start
ed shortly; working circle will meet
during the winter months and make
comfortable clothing and warm knit
ted garments for the convalescent
women at the state tuberculosis san
itorium at Galen.

Cunningham and Miss Florence Walsh

sist the fraternal and civic organiza-
tions of Helena in the Christmas seals

in the sale.
Of the $50 men at the hospital, one
third are tuberculosis patients, and,

berculosis association, each club and
each chapter of the D. A R. has ADOPT

less tedious the long days of recovery.
