Around the World With Missionary

in either Japan or China, and most of
them are going as evangelists or edu-
Gators, although there are few spe-
cialists for the medical and agricul-
tural missions. Those who are be-
ginning their missionary careers will
study the language of the district to
which they are assigned for at least
two years.
Although all are courteous to our
party, those of the Episcopal denom-
nations or the Dutch Reformed are
the first to become friendly. A few
persons of other denominations re-
main rather frigid throughout the
trip. The first religious episode
abroad is indicative of the attitude of
the Protestant towards Catholics in
the foreign mission field. A delega-
ton of ministers called on us to in
vite us to participate in union serv-
ice on the first Sunday at sea. They
contended that UNCONVENTIONAL differ
erences ought not to be emphasized
on the foreign missions, since divid-
ed Christianity is AN obvious obstacle
to the conversions of pagans. It was
not difficult to explain the impos-
sibility Of Catholics joining in with
mont Catholics in religious services in
spite of the difficulty in which this
position placed Christianity in pagan
eyes. So on Sunday we had our daily
Mass and the Professionals their
union service. Apparently our Catho-
lie position on the union service was
not taken amiss, for we continued to
beat the ministers-or be beaten by
them-at deck golf, the fat mems race
and other ship pastimes. In the
meantime, we had splendid oppor-
tunity to size up the ministers and no
doubt they welcomed the same op-
portunity to scrutinize our party.
They were universally impressed by
the fact that Father Delaney was
going to the Bengal jungles to stay.
On the sixth day of the voyage we
| reached Honolulu, where we were to
have seven hours. We were agree
ably surprised, when we stepped from
the ship, to find that Bishop Boey-
naems and one of his missionary
priests, Father Stephen, had come to
meet us, having read of our coming
in morning edition of the Honolulu
paper. The extreme graciousness of
this courtesy dawned on us when we
realized that the day was one OF the
warmest of the year and that the
good Bishop is well advanced in years.
We were soon parked In Father
Stephens Chevrolet and another few
blocks brought us to the Catholic Mis-.
sion. 81

The Holy Father commends this
intention to the associates of the
Apostleship Of Prayer for the
month Of November. 1t is well
timed, says The Witness, Of Du-
buque. "There are many grave
reasons why we ought to be zeal
Gus to build up our press. 1t
ought to be sufficient to know that
our chief pastor in the Chair of
Peter and the bishops who share
his solitude never cease to urge
that duty upon all Catholics ev-
erywhere. But the reasons why
the Pope and the hierarchies of
the world are so insistent on this
duty is because Of it's absolute
necessity. We cannot have intel
ligent, thorough-going Catholics
able to stand up creditably for the
truth unless they are readers Of
Catholic papers. They will be
ignorant of the Catholic news of
the world and strangers to Cath
ollie thought. They will not be
equipped to oppose the errors of
the day; much less will they be a
positive force to promote the
cause of Faith. The great dailies

FIRST SHOT FOR US. N WAR

The anniversary of the first Ameri.
can shot fired in the World War,
which was observed last Sunday in
Paris, has revealed the fact that the
shot was fired by Catholic, Alex
Arch Of this city, who was member
of Battery G, Sixth Field Artillery, in
the Luneville sector.
French records are vague about the
first shot, but one communique shows
it to have been fired by red-headed
sergeant from French seventy-five
and attributed it to Sergeant Arch Of
Indiana.
The Rev. Joseph Burke, c. s. C., OF
the University of Notre Dame, who
was appealed to by Michael r. Stat
terry, executive secretary of the Ma
tional Council of Catholic Men, for
information about Arch, has found
him to be Catholic school product,
educated at st. Stephens Catholic
school up to the time he was COMPEL
ed to go to work. Arch was born in
Austria-Hungary and came to this
country when seven years old. He
enlisted for the expedition into Mexico
and was with the first contingent OF
troops sent abroad. During the war
he was gassed once, seriously wound.

BOHEMIAN CATHOLICS ACTIVE

The activities of the Bohemian Cath.
olics of America, as made known in
their recent convention at Chicago,
will have beneficial effect upon their
fellow countrymen generally and will
also be an example to other nation
alities. The Most Rev. Archbishop of
Mundelein of Chicago urged their sup
port of the Bohemian College in Rome,
as requested by the Holy Father.
This is much needed work to keep
UP the fight for Catholic rights in
Bohemia by competent leaders un-
der loyal clergy. Among the several
committees is that on schools in this
country. It's president is the Very
Rev. J. Rynda of st. Paul. These COM
mittees look after the interests of the
general body in the protection of their
faith and the promotion of their So
cial welfare by organized press effort.
They conduct an immigration office,
connected with the N. C. w. c., with
Mrs. Kavan in New York as its repre-
sentative, to help incoming Slovaks
and Bohemians. Their press bureau
keeps in touch with the Developments
in Bohemia and gives out accurate
reports of them. The Bohemian AL
lance has correspondents in Rome,
Paris, London and Prague on the
alert to correct false news reports cir
culated by hostile interests. A labor
bureau is another beneficial part OF
the active work of the Bohemian
Catholics. This is Of special import.
ance to girls and women coming from
the old country. The participation OF
the Bohemians in collections for
charity and relief work both here and
abroad is greatly to their credit. One
of the particular plans now promoted
is the Cyrillo- Methodius idea of re.
uniting the Eastern or Russian
Orthodox Church with Rome. The
headquarters of this idea is al
Veleherad in Moravia, where there is
a seminary for the training of mis-
sionaries for this work. The Bohe
milan Catholic Alliance is an organiza.
ton of great good among it's mem
bers, and has been recognized as such
by the Holy See. 1t has always stood
ready to defend the religious liberty
of the people.

GIRLS AWAY FROM HOME.

Of the solicitudes to be extended
to the living, there are few to
compare with that which mothers
have for their girls, especially
when budding into womanhood.
Girlhood used to be thought to
have it's best environment in COM
parative seclusion from the din
and dirt of the world. 1t was
looked upon as much like a fair
sweet flower, whose purity and
fragrance are subtly delicate and
not to be breathed upon grossly.
Alas much of that idea has gone
glimmering and is cherished little
if at all, by many girls themselves.
The lure of the lights Of social life
and pleasure and of the interven-
ing harnesses, where kindred
dealings so easily take place, is
strong upon them. One of the
observable results is the practice
among not a few Of prevailing
upon their mothers not to send
them to convent boarding school
but to let them have private
lodgings, with relatives or friends
or others, whilst attending some
city high school or college. The
ingenuity with which such 8
course is argued and urged otter
bears down parental objection
The outcome in many cases might
easily be foretold-a sorrow thai
is not always mitigated by ensu
ing wisdom and often a life that
| is lost to God.

This month of the suffering
souls ought surely more and more
to awaken the Catholic conscious
ness to the holy and wholesome
thought of praying for the dead.
The teaching and practice of the
Church persuade it, the exhorta-
tions of the saints have urged it,
Catholic charity, supported by
divinely inspired authority, pleads
for it. 1t is of the highest theo-
logical opinion that the mysterious
fires of hell and purgatory are
identical, only the damned have
no hope whilst the just in purga-
tory, the Church suffering, look
for their deliverance through the
charitable help Of their brethren
of the Church militant.

His Eminence, Cardinal Logue. Elk.

FIRST PARACHUTE BY MONK

As result of the decision of the
British air authorities that all pass
enger-carrying aeroplanes must carry
parachutes, it has been discovered that
the credit for inventing this arm of
aerial safety belongs to a monk. The
first attempt to make a parachute goes
back to 1850, when certain European
monk named Faustus Veranzio made
his parachute, and then, to test it's
effectiveness. made a descent from a
tower $50 feet in height. The descent
seems to have been made both success
fully and safely, and thus the first
parachute came into existence.

what these young men were only a
few months ago, SO many Of them gen.
erous, kind-hearted, and good, and see
them mostly involved in this network
of crime, our hearts are filled with
bitterest anguish.
Disregard for the Divine law is
the chief cause of all our present sor-
rows and calamities.
Catholics Warned.
eve now again authoritatively warn
our Catholic people that they are
conscientiously bound to abide by it,
subject, of course, to an appeal to the
Holy See. No one is justified In re-
belling against the legitimate Govern
ment, whatever it is, set up by the ma
ton, and acting within its rights. The
opposite doctrine is falsely contrary to
| Christian morals, and opposed to the
constant teaching of the Church. Let
every SOUL says st. Paul, be subject
to the higher powers that is, to the
legitimate authority of the State.
| From St. Paul downwards, the
Church has inculcated obedience to
authority as divine duty, as well as
a social necessity, and has reprobated
unauthorized rebellion as sinful in
itself and destructive of social
! stability.
| "Our people will observe that in all
this there is no question of mere poll
tics, but of what is morally right or
wrong according to the Divine Law in
certain principles and in certain
series of acts, whether carried out for
political purposes or otherwise.
| What we condemn is the armed
campaign now being carried on against
the Government set up by the nation.

a grievance or disapprove of the Ma
tional Government they have the cleo
tions to fall back upon and such con-
stitutional action as is recognized by
God and civilized society. $500.
1--WE issue this Pastoral Letter
under the grievous sense of our re-
sponsibility, mindful of the charge laid
upon us by Our Divine Master to
preach His doctrine and safeguard
His sacred rule of faith and morals
at any cost. We must, in the words
Of ST. Peter, obey God rather than
man.
i Appeal to the Leaders.
with all earnestness we appeal to
the leaders in this saddest revolt to
rise above their own feelings, to re.
member the claim of God and the
sufferings of the people in their con.
science, and to abandon methods
which they now know beyond the
shadow of a doubt are un-Catholic
and immoral, and look TO the realiza-
ton Of their ideals along lines sane

The Rev. Michael A. Mathis, C. s. c.,
of Holy Cross College of the Catholic
University, has embarked on a mis-
sionary journey that will take him
around the world. He is accompanied
by the Rt. Rev. Monsignor Joseph r.

Society for the Propagation Of the
Faith for the Archdiocese of Boston.
Travelling with them for part of the
journey is the Rev. John B. Delaney,
G. 8. c., formerly professor of Church
History and Canon Law at Holy
Cross College, who will take up mis-
sionary labors in the fields of Bengal.
Father Mathis will spend considerable
time in japan, China, India and other
countries where Catholic missionary
effort is bringing wonderful results.
He is in a position to give closeup
view of the Catholic missionary at
work and to tell something about
what other denominations are doing
in the mission field. He will also be
able to give his views on the effect
that world events are likely to have on
Catholic missionary progress.
