Moplahs and Catholics-You don't
know who or what is Moplah? Mel
Their did we until we read current
issue of the Universe, London. E. l..
Matthias of the Mangalore mission, In
dia, writes to the Universe as follows, |
concerning the Moplah uprising in his
district In Malabar, adjoining the |
southern boundary of our diocese, |
gangs of Moplah fanatics have been |
rioting and looting the houses, most |
ly of the Hindus, and even making a |
few of them Mohammedans by force.
They have not been as yet complete
ly checked, as they hide in the for
ests. All our people are in peace, and
the Catholics are respected by the
Moplahs, even in the disturbed dis
tricts. Oh, Il we could but convert
them to the faith"
Memorial in DeIhi.-An appeal has
been made to Catholics throughout
India to help toward the building in
the historic capital of India of vo-
tive memorial church in honor of the
Most Sacred Heart of Jesus. This
project is a particularly appropriate
one, in view of the plans which are
afoot for giving Delhi in the future
of fn1 nd
notable prestige. 1t is felt that, in
taking a share in the general scheme
| for the Identification of the city, the
memorial church will stand as q splen
did Catholic monument, and serve for
ages as an expression of the beauty,
strength and virility of the Catholic
religion The land required for the
edifice has been obtained, together
with the sanction to build on it.
| 100000 for Passion Play.-Precau-
tions are being taken by the Burgo-
meister OF Oberammergau and the
committee in charge of preparations
for Passion Play to prevent ''proiteer-
ing" upon the thousands of visitors
who are expected to come there next
summer Already Inquiries and appli-
cations for tickets have been received
from more than 100000 persons who
contemplate attending performances
of the play. These have come from all
the countries of Europe and from
North and South America. The sa-
cred drama will be presented from the
latter part of May until the middle
of September. The definite announce
ment of the resumption Of the play aft
er an intermission of twelve years,
prompted many merchants, hotel pro-
!; prietors and spectators to lay plans
for exploiting visitors. The Burgo-
| meister's committee is taking meas
, lures to disappoint these exploiters.
Training of Native clersy.-How
, tprovident1al was the idea of the Holy
Father to train native clergy is
shown by the enthusiasm which it has
aroused among the native population
of various districts. A letter recently
received from Madras, states that the
desire of the Holy Father is particu-
larly opportune, and shows great fore
, sight, as it has anticipated wish
, (which would soon have been manifest
: ed by the native Catholics of India,
whose minds are open to all the as
pirations of new civilization. Rev
Father Perier, S. j., superior of the
mission OF Bengal, has just been
| named bishop coadjutor of the arch.
bishop OF Calcutta. This appointment
t produced an excellent impression on
the native Catholics, who sent large
delegation composed of numerous
+ their congratulations to the new Bish.
