AND SUFFERINGS
OF NOTED ANGLICAN coMMUNI-
TY-DRIFTED FROM PLACE TO
. PLAcE-FINALLY ENTERED HA.
VEN OF CATHOLIC CHURCH.

Dom Aelred Carlyle, o. S. B., Abbot
OF the Benedictine abbey of Caldey
Island in South Wales, has rendered
his resignation of his Office of Abbot
to the Holy See, and the resignation
has been accepted. The reason for his
resignation is that he no longer feels
equal to bear the increasingly heavy
financial burden together with the re.
sronsibility of building up the reli-
gious foundation. The former Abbot,
it is understood, will go to- Canada for
period of rest and recuperation.
The story of the Caldey Island Bene-
dictines, which goes back some thirty
years, is one of long continued hard
ships and a struggle with poverty. It
must be something like thirty years
ago that this monastic community was
established in the Anglican Church
under the Rule of St. Benedict.
1t was venture of faith, for not
only did the pioneers of this founda-
tion start their work without any
funds whatever but they did not even
know whether their work would be
permitted by the authorities of the
Anglican Church.

NATIVES or INDIA VENERATE-
MEMORY OF IRISH PATRIOT
CASTE SYSTEM HURTS CHURCH
PROGRESS.

The conversion of India is the key
to the Catholic conquest of the Orient.
India is the greatest religious po-
tentiality of the eastern world. The
Catholic Church in India is making
provision to meet whatever situation
crisis may bring. The initial step
is the emphasis of a policy long since
inaugurated-the creation of native
church and hierarchy.
The unrest is forcing 100000 Cath
olics in India to better organization.
1t is causing the inevitable crumbling
of the Hindu caste system, that almost
impregnable barrier to India's evan
gelization. The development of a
united Catholicity was the chief sub
ject of an All-India Conference held
just at the close of 1921.
The caste system raises it's pitiless
social barriers to divide the people
into classes at their birth. The great
est of all crimes, for strict Hindu
is to break the rules of caste; an of

NURSING SISTERS SUFFER
LARGE NUMBERS IN GERMANY
SUccUMB TO DISEASE.

According to the Rev. DR.. Fischer
general secretary of the Catholic Hos
pital union, the future of the nursing
Sisters in Germany is very disquiet-
ing.
At the beginning of the present year,
the number of nursing Sisters in Ger
many was something like $4,000; of
these, 26,279 are serving in 1876 hos
pitals and homes for the sick, the 9TH
ers in 2,747 dispensaries. Even before
the war, the mortality among these
Sisters was proportionately high,
while the remuneration for their serv-
ices quite inadequate to support them
properly.
1t is estimated that about 63 per
cent of the nursing Sisters have sue
cumbed to tuberculosis, and this, too,
in communities where perfect health
was essential to admission to the or.

TEST.

essay contest would be conducted by
the Pottstown, Pa, Journal on the sub
ject, ''Why I Should Buy in My Own
Home Town" All children of the
public schools and st. Aloysius' school
of Pottstown were eligible to compete.
Ten students from st. Aloysius'
school entered the contest and secured
eight out Of the ten prizes offered and
the ninth received honorable mention.
What is all the more remarkable, the
Sisters and children had not heard of
the competition until ten weeks after
it had started. Eight days were left
for the children to enter the race. The
Sisters of st. Francis are in charge
of the school.
