ART WORK STOLEN.

The famous Rubens painting of st.
Sebastian has been stolen from a
small parish church at Mistelbach
Austria, where it has been since 1861
1t originally belonged to a Count Lich
tenstein who had residence at Mis-
telbaeh. The theft is believed to have
been the work of an expert, since the
church contains many other art treas
ures among which this particular
painting was inconspicuously hung
The frontiers are being watched and
all travellers carrying pictures are
c; refully searched to prevent the
painting from being smuggled out OF
tie country. The disappearance OF
this famous art treasure was kept Sc
cret by the police for two weeks, while
frantic attempts were being made te
locate it.

Missionary Society Encouraged

The Right Rev. Mgr. McGavin, di-
rector for the Propagation of the
Faith society, in the diocese Of Al
bany, n. T., gave talk to the stu
dents of the st. Paul seminary last
Friday evening. He spoke under the
auspices of the Missionary society and
was very much impressed with the
missionary activities and zeal mani
rested by the students. He eneour-
aged the work and pointed to the
fact that three students had left the
seminary this fall to continue their
studies at ST. Anthony's Mission
House, Highwood, N. J., to prepare
themselves for future missionary la
bors in Africa. This example, togeth-
er with the recent ordination of Rev.
Walter Coleman of Maryknoll, are the
first fruits of the new missionary
movement in the seminary.
The question is often put, Mgr Nc
Gavin said, why not convert the
heathens at home before going to dis
tant lands?" This is easily answer
ed. The heathens at home have had
their chance. Christ gave the COM
mand, 60 teach all nations and the
young missionary going forth to dis
tant lands turns his back on all those
whom he holds dear, suffers privations
OF every sort, even gives up his very
life, that the heathens of foreign
lands may have their chance and be
gathered in the fold OF Christ
Missionary activities in the diocese
OF Albany were reviewed by Mgr Nc
Gavin. The seminarians there are be-
ing inculcated with the missionary
spirit. In establishing branches of
the Propagation of the Faith society
in the various parishes of the diocese
of Albany, opposition is often encoun-
tered on the grounds that parishioners
are already carrying too heavy bur
den. But our Lord, who laid down
the primary rule, "Give and it shall
be given unto you,' specially blesses
parishes showing generosity toward

plies what they already have. AS an
example, the case was cited where a
certain parish gave ten thousand dol.
lars in three years to the Propagation

parish cleared off all debt and had
thousand dollars in the bank.

Mgr. McGavin praised the work of
the Propagation of the Faith society in
st. Paul. He encouraged the work
done by the seminarians, for, as he
stated, the people must be educated
in the missionary spirit Often they
are willing to help, but they do not
know how to go about it. This must
be taught them. The affiliating OF
the various parochial schools as mis-
sionary units is especially praisewor-
thy. Europe is looking to America, as
the whole world does, to carry on the
work. We must carry the burden and
heed the call of the lonely mission

CATHOLIC BOYS BRIGADE
(N. C. w. C. News Service.)

-g5sEs.sy-s <
The work of the Catholic Boys Bri-
gade Of the United States promises to
be given considerable impetus as a
result of the report submitted by the
Rev. Father Kilian, o. M. Cap, chief
commissioner, at the annual conyen-
tion of the National Council of Cath
olic Men, held in Washington.
1t was pointed out that the organiza-
ton has branches in fourteen states
and that the work is being organized
in more than twenty others. In New
York City, during the first year OF its
existence, the organization enrolled
$500 members in Manhattan and the
Bronx. In six years, only one OF It's
boys appeared before the children's
court, a remarkable record when it is
understood that the Brigade is re-
-cruited from lads of all conditions and
descriptions.
Among the good results manifested
as result of the activities of the or
ganization were an increase in the
number of boys receiving the Sacra-
ments, better attendance at religious
instructions, the clearing of juvenile
gangs from neighborhoods, and the
taking of Catholic boys away from
clubs organized under non-Catholic
auspices. Father Kilian also pointed
out that the organization has been in
dulgenced, that it has received the
blessing of two Popes and the appro-
baton and recommendation of Car
dinals, Archbishops, Bishops, priests
and educators. The work has been
promised the support of the National
Council of Catholic Men, which will
aid it's organization from national
headquarters.

BROOKL LYN CELEBRATES

Brooklyn will celebrate the cente-

city with impressive religious cere-
monies that will last three days. Pom

next Sunday by Right Rev. Thomas &.

James Pro-Cathedral, the first Cath
olic church building erected on Long
Island. The Rev Thomas j Camp
bell, S.. j., native of Brooklyn, will
preach the sermon.
1t was Oh January Z, 1922, that the
first steps towards the establishment
Of a Catholic congregation were taken
in Brooklyn, at the house of William
Purcell, and committee of five was
named to wait on Bishop Connolly of
New York to ask his consent for the
establishment of such a congregation
Previous to that the few Catholics
living in Brooklyn We're forced to
cross the East river to attend Mass.
Occasionally, priest from New York
would come over to say Mass in pri-
vate house.
The first reason advanced by the
colony for the formation of congre-
cation was. the desire to provide Cath
olic instruction for it's children as set
forth in petition signed by Peter
Turner and nineteen others, as fol
lows: I'm the first place, we want our
children to be instructed in the prin-
ciples of our holy religion: we want
more ccnveniences for hearing the
word of God ourselves. In fact, we
want church, a pastor and a place
for interment."
As a result of this petition, eight
lots were purchased on Jay street, and
st. James church was soon under con
struction. The cornerstone was laid
September 28, 1882, and the edifice was
dedicated the year following by Bish.
op Connolly. Thirty years later, in
1852, the diocese of Brooklyn was es.
tablished. Today. the diocese has 255
churches, served by 5S7 priests.
