Canada AND THE

Bank of Montreal HAVE GROWN UP TOGETHER

Business by barter, travel by stage coach—such was the order of the day when the Bank of Montreal opened its doors in 1817. Canada at that time consisted of but a few scattered colonies, and half a century was yet to elapse before Confederation.

As Canada's oldest bank, the Bank of Montreal, gave Canadians their first real money. From the start, the Bank planted its branches at strategic points throughout the country as set- tlement spread, and nursed along the early busi- ness enterprises of the colonies.

During the century and a quarter since its foundation, the Bank, working hand in hand with Canadians in all walks of life, has aided and shared in the development of every phase of the country's economic life.

—21- Why a Mission Exhibition

TXTAR is an effective teacher of human geography. The soldiers 7 * of Canada have been serving in Greenland, Iceland, Sicily, the Aleutians and Hong Kong. The people of Canada have followed with breathless interest fighting on the Volga and in the South Pacific, knowing that their own fate was bound up with decisions obtained there. The peoples of the world are learning more and more of their unity. War is global and peace is indivisible. Over a century ago it was said there were no more Pyrennes and now it is proverbial that no seas are barriers against invasion.

The Church of Christ has never taken less than the whole world for its province and it has been Catholic from the day of Pentecost. To be Catholic means missionary. Times of difficulty have stimu- lated the Church to greater efforts. There was an extraordinary out- burst of missionary energy following the last World War and Pius XI. earned the title of "the Pope of the Missions." Pope Pius XL sponsored the Vatican Missionary Exhibition opened in the Holy Year, 1925, which resulted in the permanent Lateran Missionary Museum. Since that time Missionary Exhibitions have been held in many countries and they have been of inestimable value in making the general body of Catholic people mission-minded.

One of the most successful Missionary Exhibitions was held in Montreal in September last year. Millions of Catholics live within easy reach of Montreal; and in the city itself there are the houses of a great many missionary orders of men and women. The Montreal Exhibition, being part of the tercentenary celebrations of the city, was limited to those orders with houses in Montreal. The success of Montreal has encouraged Toronto to an effort of even wider scope: a National Exhibition representing the whole of Canada, home mis- sions as well as foreign.

Those who accepted the heavy responsibility of organizing the First Canadian National Missionary Exhibition would have preferred to wait until after the war, but it was urged upon them by the supreme authorities in the Church that the needs of the mission fields are so clamant that the most intensive preparations for meeting them must be made while the war is in progress, so that there will be no delay in taking advantages of the opportunities of peace. —22— The Catholic Church Extension Society of Canada.

LOVE of God, love of Canada and sheer necessity produced the Catholic Church Extension Society of Canada. It was strange that no one thought of it before. Like American Extension, it was brought into being by Bishop Francis Clement Kelley. He induced Reverend Dr. Alfred Edward Burke to undertake the apostolate of the Home Missions in Canada. The historic meeting on a St. Law- rence River boat brought together Archbishop McEvay of Toronto, who gave the Society a home, Doctor Burke, who became the first President, Dr. Kidd, the first Secretary, Hon. Charles Fitzpatrick, Chief Justice of Canada, Monsignor Sinnott, secretary to the Papal Delegate, and the founder, now Bishop Francis Clement Kelley. They conferred with His Excellency the Papal Delegate, afterwards Cardinal Sbaretti, and the Canadian Extension came into being. Shortly afterwards by the Bull "Allata Nuper," Pope Pius X placed on it the Church's seal of approval, attaching numerous indulgences, with the Archbishop of Toronto as ex-onicio Chancellor. The way had been opened for a flood of relief to the hard-pressed Western Missions.

And thus as early as 1910 Canadian Extension emerged as a full- fledged Pontifical Institution destined to rush badly needed help to the far-flung mission battlefields of Canada. At that time the huge influx of immigrant populations was about to change the whole char- acter of the Canadian scene. Vast distances thinned to tenuous film the thick river of humanity then being poured over the unlimited West. A war of movement was called for. There must be priests, there must be chapels, there must be vestments, there must be aid. No individual society was big enough to tackle the job. Only the age-old, elastic, episcopal organization of Mother Church could pro- duce the adaptability, the sacrifice, the native saltiness necessary to found a greater Canadian Catholic Church. So with age-old wisdom the placed the Extension movement squarely behind the Bishops of Western Canada. To paraphrase St. Paul, "Many have been saved since then but, so as by fire."

Eastern Canada proved a platinum mine of friends of the Mis- sions. Prominent Catholics sought the honour of being on the direc- torate and becoming founders. The Eastern Hierarchy, Bishops and Ordinaries led their dioceses boldly into the Extension army. The women of Canada formed a coast-to-coast organization known as the Women's Auxiliary. Right at the beginning, the Society acquired —23— a newspaper, "The Catholic Register," destined to blossom in these later days into the "Canadian Register," official organ of the Catholic Church Extension Society. At last the Catholic Church had some answer to the problem raised by the heavily-financed non-Catholie Home Mission Societies who had been gathering in the stray sheep

who wandered from the fold. We do not maintain that it is yet adequate. Extension results are concrete. To-day thirty-one burses of five thousand dollars each exist to educate priests. Over three million dollars has been collected. St. Joseph's College for Ukrainian stu- dents, costing over two hundred thousand dollars, has been built

and is maintained with Christian Brothers achieving fine results. Between nine hundred and a thousand chapels have been built as a result of Extension help. Perhaps an equal number have been re- paired. Acting as a clearing-house Extension has provided the poor priests of the difficult Canadian field with badly needed Mass In- tentions. In fact every immediate need of the pioneer field has the right to appeal to its natural last resource, the Canadian Church Exten- sion Society of Canada. The large and active Women's Auxiliary has provided a spectacle of the finest . Travelling Mass kits are put together and sent to the firing line. During any week of the year you may see these devoted women shaping the fine silks and linens into hand- some vestments or snowy linens for the destitute altars. How many million stitches or thousands of hours of labour have gone into this

task only the recording angels can tell, but the work never stops. Presents for Christmas trees, re-claimed clothing for poor settlers, rehabilitated altar furnishings, stations of the Cross, tabernacle veils, confessional stoles and countless other articles flow in a countless stream westward. There seems to be no limit to their labours of love. To-day, Extension looks forward to bringing a million square miles of missionary territory in the West to Christ. It is a tremendous task and needs everybody's all-out help. In the future we could perhaps put airplanes, travelling motor chapels, radio programmes, relief caravans, and scores of other activities, into action. The very motto of the Society suggests broadening missionary activity, "Adveniat Regnum Christi"—Extend the Kingdom of Christ! May His Kingdom Come. The Exhibit.

Extension stands behind every Canadian missionary movement showing at the Exhibition. In its own exhibit, embracing the northern end of the floor, the Western dioceses are proudly presented in their —24— modern growth. Perhaps some faint idea may be gleaned from these pictures of the heroic struggle that is attempting to win half a con- tinent to Christ. Behind its colonnade of pillars and under its lighted dome, from the drought lands of Manitoba to the totem poles of British Columbia visitors will see the story of a quarter century of effort to win back the new generation of sturdy Canadians who are* founding a central Canadian stock. We sincerely hope that this display will warm the heart of the still living founder of the Home Missionary Society that has presented a new and fundamental idea in causing nations to do their own propagating of the Faith.

JlfUL ftop&h. Ow/l Sodsdi^ For the Propagation of the Faith

Very Rev. William T. Davis, D.D., National Director for Central and Western Canada, 67 Bond St., Toronto, Ontario.

/ A I HE Society for the Propagation of the Faith is an international

*• mission-aid association whose aim is to send missionaries to the pagans and to assist by prayers and alms the priests, brothers and sisters who are at work among them. Our Divine Saviour said to His Church: "Going, therefore, teach ye all nations." Every Catholic is a member of His Church—hence upon everyone rests the responsibility of doing all within his power to bring Christ's Gospel to the uncounted pagan peoples of the earth.

The average Catholic is not called by God to give himself, to serve in person, on the mission field, but everyone, old or young, can, and is expected by the Church to be a missionary at home.

Prayer is the first condition of membership, first because it is the most valuable and because it is the spiritual currency which every- one has in abundance. Say each day, one Our Father, one Hail Mary, adding the invocation: St. Francis Xavier, pray for us.

The second condition is alms. The Church is not of the world, but is most decidedly in it. In order to bring our holy faith to those who "sit in darkness and under the shadow of death" the missionaries must depend upon the charity of those at home, to build hospitals, chapels and schools, to travel from village to village and to engage native helpers.

The Society for the Propagation of the Faith is the Holy Father's own Society. Each Mission Sunday the Church asks every Catholic in the world to give his mission offering. These alms are in turn distributed to all missionaries governed by their needs and the amount of available alms. —25— Members are eligible to gain for themselves and for their dear departed numerous rich indulgences, among which are approximately ninety plenary, and many partial indulgences in the course of a year. And in addition each member shares in all the prayers of all pagan converts, in all the prayers and good works of the missionary brothers

and sisters on the mission fields, and in more than 15,000 holy Masses offered up yearly by missionary priests for the intentions of the living, and for the repose of the souls of deceased members.

60 cts. a year, or five cents a month, is contributed by Ordinary members. $1.00 a year includes ordinary membership plus our mission maga- zine, "The Annals." $6.00 a year is contributed by Special Members, who have the privilege of enrolling nine other members, living or dead.

$40.00 is contributed by Perpetual Members who enjoy the spiritual privileges of the Society in perpetuity. —26~ OppsiaUm^ Jo (PalgaLl

Missionary Union of the Clergy English-Speaking Division.

Most Rev. James C. McGuigan, D.D., National President. Very Rev. William T. Davis, S.T.D., National Secretary, 67 Bond St., Toronto, Out.

A ' I HE Missionary Union of the Clergy has for its object to * develop in the priesthood of all Christian countries a deeper knowledge of, and interest in, the great mission problem that con- fronts the Catholic Church, particularly in pagan lands.

The obligations of the Missionary Union are few, it being left to the discretion of each one to do what he can to promote the mission cause. The following are suggestions for active members:

(1) To pray and to stimulate others to pray for the missions, and to remember them in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. (2) To encourage vocations for the missions. (3) To read books and re- views that treat of the missions, and to aid in their distribution. (4) To refer to the missions frequently in sermons, talks, catechism —27— classes, etc. (5) To promote The Society for the Propagation of the Faith, and other works that benefit the missions.

In God's divine plan of support for His missions and missionaries, there is need of prayer and sacrifice not only from those laboring as missionaries in the mission fields but more so on the part of us at home who have the conveniences and comforts in the practice of our Holy Faith. The faithful, as a rule, are interested in the missions and are willing to make great sacrifices for this laudable work. This generous co-operation will always be the more encour- aged by the example in the spoken and written word, as well as by the leadership in prayer and sacrifice on the part of their priests. For that reason, His Holiness, Benedict XV, said in his encyclical Maximum Illud: ''Know, therefore, it is our wish that in all Catho- lic dioceses of the world there be founded what we call a Missionary Union of the Clergy to be placed under the authority of the Sacred Congregation of the Propagation of the Faith to which we have given all necessary authority.''

And Pope Pius XI in his encyclical Rerum Ecclesiae, speaking to their Excellencies, the Ordinaries of the dioceses, said: "That this work may be linked with the other duties of your pastoral office, see to it that the Missionary Union of the Clergy be established in your diocese, or, if it has already been established, encourage it to renewed activity with your advice, exhortation and authority."

—28— J&l (phDmDtinq* TbaJtwsL Q^W- The Society of St. Peter the Apostle

Very Kev. William T. Davis, D.D., National Director, 67 Bond St., Toronto, Ontario.

THE Society of St. Peter the Apostle is a Pontifical Mission-Aid Society, the object of which is to assist in the formation of a native clergy in mission lands. The work of the So- ciety is being carried out through the pray- ers and alms of the clergy and lay people of all classes. Through the means of prayer, they bring down God's graces on the clergy of the missions: the grace of vocation, the grace of perseverance, the grace of growing in all the priestly vir- tues. By their alms, they supply the funds for educating poor but deserving native sem- inarians to the Holy Priesthood. Valuable as the work

of foreign missioners is, it would be impossible to exaggerate the im- portance of a native

clergy, it is a matter of life and death for the missions. The mis-

sionary endeavour of the Church has missed its goal if it cannot

establish among the communities which it has converted a priesthood

belonging to that community. When it has done that, then the "white" missioner can be released from his pioneer work among the pagan people. The native priest lives in his own country, is inured to the hardships of climate, speaks the language of his people, —29— and enters sympathetically into their joys and sorrows. Seminaries in mission lands are supplying native priests each year.

How One May Help in This Work.

(1) By contributing any amount to our general Burses. Any amount, large or small, is gratefully appreciated. The total amount for a Burse is $1,200. The interest on this sum will continue to give to the Church a native priest in perpetuity. (2) By donating a Scholarship at the cost of $500, which supplies a student with a complete Major Seminary course. (3) By donating a yearly pension ($25.00 per year for Minor Seminary; $100.00 per year for Major Seminary).

You can select, as your adopted student, a native seminarian in the Mission Field. You will know who he is and he will know who you are. You can follow him in spirit and in prayer to the goal to which he aspires. He can offer his prayers for you. In six years, God willing, he will be ordained. You will have given a priest to the

Native Clergy. He will be your priest . . continuing the work of Christ, preaching, teaching, praying, helping the poor, encouraging the sorrowful, offering Sacrifice, saving souls. You will share in his merits for all eternity.

For over 57 years we have offered our

services in advising on wise and prudent

investment of surplus funds.

Pontifical Association of the Holy Childhood

THE Holy Childhood is an international pontifical association for Catholic children. Its membership is drawn from Catholic children in every country of the world. Even in such missionary countries as China and are to be found native Catholic boys and girls who, as members of the Holy Childhood, are assisting the less fortunate children of those lands. The Association is called "Pontifical" because, like the Society for the Propagation of the Faith and the Work of St. Peter the Apos- tle, it is an official agency of the Holy See itself. It belongs to the Holy Father and in his name makes its appeal on behalf of the missions.

Like the other two Pontifical Mission-Aid Societies, the Holy Childhood Association has a specific aim. This aim can best be stated in the authoritative words of the late Holy Father, Pius XI, in His Encycli- cal "Rerum Ecclesiae." His Holiness wrote: "The object of the Holy Childhood Asso- ciation is, as is very well known, to band together our children to accustom themselves to set aside their pocket money and to offer it particularly for the rescue and Catholic up- bringing of pagan babies, wherever they are wont to be abandoned or destroyed." True to this objective, the Holy Childhood has rescued close to thirty-one million children in the past hundred years. At the present time, there is an average of seven hundred thousand children rescued each year.

That the need and work of the Holy Childhood Association may be properly understood, it is essential that the difference between pagan and Christian society be appreciated. There are no Ten Commandments in pagan society, thus Our Creator's injunction, "thou shalt not kill," is unknown. Pagan society, even the advanced social order of China, invests in parents the right to destroy the life of an unwanted child. And this right is exercised! Why? The usual reasons are extreme poverty, or some pagan superstition.

The number of young lives so sacrificed each year is approximately one million. —31— Exhibit of Home Contrasts

The Holy Childhood Exhibit attempts to show this essential difference between Christian and pagan society. It is displayed by a contrast between the joy in a Catholic home and the anger in a pagan home over the birth of a girl. The Exhibit also depicts the sad fate that may befall either a boy or a girl of Africa, should the child unfortunately become maimed.

The Holy Childhood Association accomplishes its great task principally through the prayers and the alms of the boys and girls of our Catholic schools. This idea has been incorporated into the Exhibit. The observer may see at a glance what cur children are doing and also the results of their activity

fifwAtolaisL ofc (BddJlSu The Catholic Truth Society of Canada, Inc.

Head Office : 67 Bond St., Toronto, Ont.

THE Catholic Truth Society has been outstandingly successful in England and Ireland, and it was as a result of this success that branches were founded in Canada. "The Truth," we are told, "shall

make you free," and this is, indeed, doubly true of Catholic truth, wherein the very inner meaning of our Faith is to be found. It is not enough, however, that this truth be kept to ourselves. It must be assimilated by Catholics themselves, and given to the world, thus fulfilling Christ's exhortation, "Go, teach all nations." The Catholic Truth Society exists to handle that part of this work which includes the distribution of pamphlets and books. How- ever, not only does the Catholic Truth Society distribute pamphlets;

it publishes them.

In Canada a number of useful pamphlets on various aspects of

the social question, as it affects Canadian conditions, have been issued, amongst them Mr. Henry Somerville's very able booklets on the social order. The Catholic Truth Society sees that these booklets are sold and distributed, and that pamphlets dealing with Church doc- trine and belief are available in the racks of all parish churches.

It is, therefore, a missionary apostolate, the apostolate of Catholic letters and literature bearing directly on Catholic truth. At the Catholic Truth Society booth you will see the scope of its activities, and an exhibit of the pamphlets and books it attempts to distribute. —32— In Canada the Catholic Truth Society aids directly in the distri- bution of books written by Catholic and non^Catholic authors that bear on various aspects of the Church, the life of the faithful, the- ology, philosophy, sociology, and the novel. A representative ex- hibit of Catholic books can be seen at the booth. These books vary very widely in scope, and are not confined solely to apologetical and polemical works. To give some idea of the current books on exhibit, we give herewith a cross-section of the kind of books that the Catholic Truth Society is interested in pro- moting and selling.

There is an excellent study of the ever-pressing race question, by Father John LaFarge, S.J., Associate Editor of America, and a son of the well-known portrait painter and author, John LaFarge. The book is called "The Race Question and the Negro," and lends much light on the growing race problem that exists not only in the U.S.A., but throughout the world.

Then there is "Children Under Fire," by a Dominican nun, the author of "Brother Petroc's Return." These are the notes of a teacher in a war-time school in England, a book built from the letters that passed between Emmet Lavery, the screen-writer, and this anony- mous nun. There is a book of "Unlikely ," by Margaret Munro, who presents for us the unusual lives of some modern saints, includ- ing St. Gemma Galgani, St. Rose of Lima, and, of course, St. Therese of Lisieux.

A book of some local interest is "House of Bread," by C. J. Eustace, the Canadian Catholic author who lives in Toronto. This is a partly autobiographical excursion back through the years during which the author, a convert to the Faith, has been a Catholic. There is also an excellent study of the Catholic background to sex, entitled "Morals and Marriage," and a number of novels, including a romance of Jamaica, entitled "Welcome," by Isabel Clarke, "Touched by the Thorn," by Maura Laverty, and many others.

It will be seen from this brief survey that the activities of the Catholic Truth Society are as wide as the dissemination of Catholic truth itself. Books, pamphlets, the sponsoring of lectures are all but means of bringing to the attention of the Catholic, and of the non-

Catholic, too, the tenets of his faith. It is, therefore, logical that the Catholic Information Centre, situated at 329 Bay Street, To- ronto, should also be sponsored by the Catholic Truth Society. Non- Catholics are especially welcomed at the Catholic Information Centre, where a trained staff will make it their pleasure to answer questions, and to give directions, to earnest enquirers after Catholic truth. —33— JlfL TYhxkjCUUu 9lL JjDCOA.

The Work of the Basilian Fathers

Booth in charge of Rev. V. J. Fullerton, C.S.B.

DOWN South where a colour line exists the population is divided into two classes: the white people and the coloured folk. Some- where in between come the Mexican immigrants who left poverty- stricken homes to seek a living in the State of Texas. They are deeply religious, but their po- verty and the English language have made them hesitant about going to churches other than those

with Spanish - speaking pastors. In some places they are not wanted, the

pastor is fully occupied with his scattered con- gregation. In addition to the lack of opportunities for practising their reli- gion, many children were being educated in public

schools and receiving lit- tle or no instruction in Christian doctrine. In the summer of 1934 Father Henry Oarr, then Superior General of the Basilian Fathers, ap- Our Lady of Guadalupe Church, Rosenberg. pointed Father Matthew Killoran to work among the Mexicans in the neighbourhood of Houston, Texas. Father Kil- loran knew no Spanish and Bishop Byrne of Galveston directed him to a Spanish parish in Houston. It was in a waterfront slum district and on the first evening the pastor talked of the five murders that had been committed in the neighbourhood so far that year. Father Killoran was transferred to Assumption College, Windsor, in 1935 and his place was taken by Father Joseph Dillon, a native of Burlington, Texas, who had been teaching Spanish at the Basilian High School in Houston. He made his headquarters with his con- freres at St. Anne's Church, Houston, and from there attended a territory of some 10,000 square miles.

Rosenberg Headquarters.

Father Dillon's report to his Superior on the first month of his work has the following item, "Said Mass at Rosenberg on Saturday. About 40 were present." The work prospered there, and in 1939

A Group in Front of the School, Rosenberg.

He moved his headquarters to this city of 3,500, which is about 35 miles west of Houston. He is now assisted by the following Basilians, all University graduates who have spent some time in Mexico per- fecting their Spanish and becoming familiar with the customs of the people : Father Vincent Fullerton of Toronto, Ontario ; Father John

Collins of Akron, Ohio ; and Father Norbert Reuss of Cleveland, Ohio.

The centre at Rosenberg has a church dedicated to Our Lady of Guadalupe, with room for 300, a school for grades I-IV, a convent over the garage for the Sisters of Divine Providence, who teach in the school, and a priests' residence. There is a school bus which travels 70 miles a day carrying pupils to and from school. The mission has three cars, each with a gasoline allowance of 1,000 miles monthly, but so scattered are the mission stations that careful planning is required to make the ration fit the needs of the territory. When a —35— priest goes to a mission church he stays for some time. Father Joseph Wey, Professor of Latin in St. Michael's College, Toronto, was as- signed to assist Father Dillon during the past summer. In a letter written shortly after his arrival he told a confrere, "Already I have preached four times in Spanish. Sunday work here lasts four days."

The work receives a generous share of the missionary contributions of Basilian schools and parishes but a heavy burden falls upon the Society for the Propagation of the Faith, which annually arranges for a Basilian to speak in a number of parishes. After one appeal St. Benedict's Church, Detroit, built a complete mission chapel.

The following is the list of places served by the priests : Our Lady of Guadalupe, Rosenberg ; Our Lady of Perpetual Help, Bay City ; St. Henry's, Freeport; Christ the King, New Gulf; St. Benedict's, Allen Farm; Courtney, Mass is said in a house; Angleton, Mass is said in a house; Richmond, people go to Mass in Rosenberg, but catechism is taught in Sacred Heart Church with the permission of Father Nicholson; Wharton, Father Hurley allows the priests to use Church; Boling; and Eagle Lake.

-36- J7/L JIml JjurfcL OL dlojnsL Sisters of Service of Canada

THE work of the Sisters of Service is one of "preservation" and "reclamation." Like the Divine Master, "they have come to serve" the most abandoned souls. The Community was founded in 1922 to meet the urgent need for religious workers among the thousands of immigrants who had settled in Western Canada. It now has a Mother House, Novitiate and eighteen missions stretching across Canada from Halifax to Van- couver. In the large centres the Sisters conduct hostels or residental clubs for girls who are working in the cities with no homes of their own. While the Sisters do everything possible to help these girls materially by providing educational and recreational facilities, their spiritual welfare always receives first consideration.

Rural Western Canada is the specific field of the S.O.S. Here we find them teaching in the public schools, where they have many opportunities for nourishing the seeds of Faith in the hearts of new Canadian children. During the summer months the Sisters go from district to district preparing little ones for First Communion and Confirmation. In the S.O.S. rural hospitals there have been many consoling conversions, for the thoughts of the sick are easily turned towards God. In these districts the Sisters also visit homes and conduct classes in religion for the children. From September to June correspondence courses in religion are conducted from centres in Regina and Edmonton. This instruction reaches thousands who have little or no other contact with the

Church. The re-mailing of Catholic literature to isolated families is also a feature of the work in these houses.

SOS.—Message and Mission Stations.

The outstanding feature of the Exhibit of the Sisters of Service

is the background of their booth. There is represented the field in which the Sisters are working—the Field at Home. This particular field is brought before our mind by the outlined map of Canada. Over the scene the Cross dominates the skies, the symbol of that Faith which the Sisters of Service wish to preserve and propagate. On the sides are two panels on which can be read the names of the mission stations of the S.O.S. These missions are grouped under four headings—Health Service, Educational Service, Religious Ser- vice and Social Service. —37— THE SISTERS OF SE

The Christian Brothers r % F HE Brothers of the Christian Schools (Christian Brothers) are A among the foremost of the missionary orders in the Church. As cateehists, and in their schools and colleges, they are close co- operators with the missionaries in imparting religious 'education to thousands of non-Christian children and preparing them for Bap- tism. Not infrequently the conversion of an entire family follows- the of the children. In the spirit of their holy Founder, De La Salle, who said:

Christian Brothers' Mother House at Rome.

"The Christian school is as necessary as the foreign missionary," the Christian Brothers have extended their educational activities throughout nearly all missionary lands, notably in Asia and Africa, in the Islands of the East and West Indies, and in South America. They are among the Turks at Constantinople, among the Egyptians at Alexandria and Cairo, among the Arabs in Palestine and Syria, among the Burmese in Rangoon, among the Malayans at Penang and Sin- gapore, among the Chinese at Hong Kong and in Indo-China, among the negroes in the Congo, and among the Bedouins in Algeria and Morocco. Much of the Brothers' work has, of course, been disorganized and destroyed by the war, and it is impossible to get dependable informa- tion regarding their schools in enemy-occupied territory. The fol- lowing statistics are the pre-war figures and may serve to indicate at a glance the extent of the Christian Brothers' missionary work: There are some 1,400 Christian Brothers engaged in missionary work. They have 140 establishments in missionary lands and give daily religious instruction to over 50,000 children. —40— :

The Brothers have 51 houses in Asia, distributed as follows Palestine and Syria, 12 schools with 4,700 pupils; Ceylon, 8 schools with 1,200 pupils; Indo-China (Annam, Cambodia, Cochin China, Tonkin), 12 schools with 3,860 pupils; Burma, 5 schools with 2,000 pupils; Straits Settlements, 6 schools with 2,000 pupils; Malaya, 3 schools with 1,200 pupils ; China, the Philippines, and Japan, 5 schools with some 1,500 pupils. They have 50 establishments in Africa, distributed as follows: Egypt, 13 schools with 8,406 pupils; Algeria and Tunis, 5 schools with 1,524 pupils; Morocco, 4 schools with 1,000 pupils; Lybia, 2 schools; Belgian Congo, 7 schools with 2,281 pupils; Madagascar, , Reunion, 13 schools with 3,948 pupils; Cape Colony, 3 schools with 600 pupils; Canary Islands, 4 schools with 1,124 pupils.

The first Annamite Bishop, Most Rev. Msgr. Tong, consecrated by Pope Pius XI. in 1933, is a former pupil of the Christian Brothers at Saigon; and the first native Indian Bishop, Most Rev. Msgr.

Roche, S.J., is an old boy of the Brothers' College at Colombo, Ceylon.

The late Pope Pius XL, "the Pope of the Missions," addressing the Christian Brothers, once said: "Every one of your schools is a mission, and every Brother in his class-room is a missionary."

The Sisters of St. Joseph. ST. JOSEPH'S Missionary Crusade actually began in 1650, when Mgr. de Maupas, Bishop of Le Puy, , at the instigation of Rev. J. P. Medaille, S.J., established a Congregation, "whose members would devote themselves to their own sanctification and to works of charity for the good of their neighbour." Father Medaille's "Little Design" began its life in an orphan asylum at Le Puy. The tiny seed be- came a mighty tree and during the next one hundred years spread its branches far and wide over the adjacent provinces of France. Then came the terrible Revolution of 1789,

which all but annihilated it. Only a few scat- tered convents escaped and the Martyr-roll of the time bears the names of Sisters of St. Joseph. After twelve years, one who escaped execution only by the fall of Robespierre, Mother St. John Fontbonne, re-established her loved Community. Her work was abundantly blessed and in a few short years, from the Mother House in Lyons, there went forth many brave missionary souls, to various parts of France, to Italy, to America, Mexico, India, Egypt, Syria and Africa. Foundation in Toronto

To confine ourselves to the American foundation,—six Sisters came to St. Louis, Mo., at the request of Bishop Rosati, their first convents being outside the city of Cahokia and Carondelet. Poverty and hardship faced them but in spite of that, their sphere of labour widened rapidly and in 1851, Mother Delphine, a niece of Rev. Mother St. John, came from Philadelphia with three companions to make a foundation in Toronto. How much could be written of St. Joseph's

first Missionary Crusaders in Canada! Although so few, they fear- lessly undertook every work assigned them by Bishop de Charbonnel, first an orphan asylum, then in 1852 the Parish Schools. In 1854 their first Convent, "The White House" on Power street served as Mother House, Novitiate and a school for resident and day pupils. In 1856 Mother Delphine died, truly a Martyr-Missionary, as she contracted cholera while attending the sick and dying. In 1857 the House of Providence was opened as a home for the aged. Other works for God and souls, undertaken and carried on for some years were —42— homes for working boys (St. Nicholas Institute) and for working girls (Notre Dame des Anges). Let us consider for a moment the various foundations in Ontario which later became independent Diocesan Communities,—shoots of the parent stock which in time have spread their branches over wide areas. The first of these was that in Hamilton as early as 1852; then one in London in 1868. In 1881 Sisters went to Port Arthur, in 1883 to Cobourg, in 1885 to Fort William, and in 1890 to Lindsay,—these four forming the nucleus of a separate Community in the Diocese of Peterborough. The foundations later made by Peterborough in Pembroke became independent under Pembroke diocese; and Port Arthur and Fort William with other Northern foundations, made also by Peterborough, have more recently established their Mother House at North Bay in the Diocese of Sault Ste. Marie.

Array of Institutions.

As to the works of the Community in Toronto, instead of lingering over details of the far past and the intervening years, we shall let the present make its own revelations. First : St. Joseph's Convent, Mother House and Novitiate, the College School with its seven hundred or more pupils, and the nearby St. Joseph's College, affili- ated with the , tell a story of unflagging zeal in the field of Catholic Education. Another chapter of that same story is told by the twenty-eight parochial schools in the City and Archdiocese under the direction of the Sisters, and by St. Joseph's High School, so long maintained as the only free Catholic High School for girls in Toronto. The House of Providence with its six or seven hundred residents; the Sacred Heart Orphanage, now relieved by the

Catholic Welfare Bureau of a large part of the burden it carried for years while caring for more than two hundred homeless children ; St. Michael's Hospital, opened in 1892 with forty beds, now a massive structure with six hundred and seventy beds, an out-patient depart- ment serving hundreds more and a School of Nursing, recognized everywhere as one of the best; St. Joseph's Hospital, a more recent foundation, with three hundred and sixty-five beds, an out-patient department and School of Nursing of high standng; Our Lady of Mercy Hospital for Incurable Patients with its two hundred and seventy-five beds,—these institutions are more than eloquent of a persistent Missionary Crusade on the home front.

Call of the West.

In 1913, the first response was made to appeals from Western Canada, when a few Sisters took charge of a small hospital at ComoXj —43— Vancouver Island. All such appeals could not be granted, but if it were possible, and the need seemed great, the sacrifice was made, and now in 1943, Sisters are to be found teaching in distant Prince Rupert, B.C., in Vancouver City, in Rosetown, Saskatchewan, in the Arch- diocese of St. Boniface, Manitoba, and in Winnipeg, Manitoba. In the last city, St. Joseph's Hospital does its share of missionary work among the mixed nationalities of the Middle West. For some years the Community conducted a resident and day school and taught in the Parochial School for the Catholic Ukrainian and Polish settlers of Sifton, Manitoba. For the past ten years or more, the Sisters in the West, as those in the East, have spent part of their vacation teaching Catechism. This year there were twenty-two classes in the Archdiocese of To- ronto, five in British Columbia, seven in Saskatchewan, three in Manitoba. The joy of having brought the knowledge of God to His little ones is ample reward for the labour entailed, but may we not say that this and like joys are only a little foretaste of that which

is reserved for those who truly "devote themselves to their own sanctification and to works of charity for the good of the neigh- bour." May the venerated founders of the Sisters of St. Joseph and their Tbeloved Mother St. John obtain for them an ever-growing "Missionary" spirit and finally the never-ending joy of union with the first Crusader, Christ, Our Lord.

Ssuwinq* Jwo (Dwcqam 9il fisutqaL Religious of Holy Cross. IN 1835 at Ste-Croix du Mans, France, the Very Reverend Basile Antoine Moreau, head of a group of Auxiliary Priests, accepted the leadership of the Brothers of St. Joseph established a few years earlier at Ruilly sur Loire, to provide Catholic teachers for village youth. The union of the two societies in one large religious family gave birth to the Congregation of Holy Cross with priests and brothers ready to answer every need of the faithful in Catholic countries and of mission work in the pagan field. In 1841 the venerable founder added a third branch to this Order by the foundation of the Sisters of Holy Cross, to provide means of Catholic instruction to girls and complete the reproduction of the typical missions of the members of the Holy Family. In fact, the names first given to each branch were , Josephites and Marianites. —44— In 1842 the first groups left Ste. Croix to go to the United States. It settled at Notre Dame, Indiana, and began the establishment of What is now Notre Dame University and St. Mary's College in Indiana, from there radiating to Oregon, the Eastern States and south as far as Texas and New Orleans. In 1847, another group, called from France by Bishop Bourget, arrived at Montreal. St. Laurent College, St. Joseph's University in New Brunswick, other colleges, numerous parish schools and Catholic Action activities now testify to the development of the Order in Canada. But of late the great work of one of its humbler members, the good Brother Andre, sheds a new light with the Shrine of St. Joseph, at Montreal, and the spread of the devotion to the great of Nazareth.

Canadians and Americans.

Urged by Our Holy Father, Pope Pius IX, the venerable founder sent missionaries to Bengal, India, in 1852. From then to 1904 the French Province alone manned and supported this mission. The persecutions of 1904 and the closing of Religious establishments in France, forced the younger provinces to come to the rescue, and missionaries from the United States and Canada were called to continue the work of their brothers of France. Groups regularly left Notre Dame, Indiana, and Montreal. To-day about 80 priests and brothers man the two Dioceses of Dacca and Chittagong, in Bengal, India, with the help of some 40 Sisters of Holy Cross. The last group of 16 sent in 1941

is still on its way, delayed by the Japs in Manila. Dacca is en- trusted to the American Province of Notre Dame, Indiana, with

Bishop Crowley, C.S.C., while Chittagong is entrusted to the Cana- dian Province with Bishop Lepailleur, C.S.C. This large mission covers 48,000 square miles in Bengal with a Catholic population of 50,000 in a pagan population of 22,000,000 people, mostly Hindus, Mahometans, Buddhists and Animists.

The actual conditions of the world emphasizes the heroicity of all our missionaries and our obligations to uphold the work with our prayers and alms.

First located at St. Joseph's Shrine, the Mission Procure is now settled permanently in a district home from where monthly allow- ances are sent to the Bishop of Chittagong for the support of his missionaries and the varied works of the mission.

Alphonsus points towards St. Peter's, Rome. Every son of St. Alphonsus lives his life on Missions, on Retreats and on other apostolic works, drawing im- mortal souls to the Eucharistic Heart of our Holy Redeemer, to the motherly arms of the Virgin Mary and to the safe harbour of the Catholic Church. The Redemptorists are found in the Americas, in Asia, in Africa, in and in Europe. Wher- ever souls are found in need of spiritual assistance, whether that

aid is required in cities, in coun- try places, at home or on foreign

fields, north, south, east, west, it

matters not, it is a Redemptorist's duty to give all-out help. In 1793, the Redemptorists num- bered two hundred, in seventeen houses. In 1942, their number had risen to nearly six thousand, in four hundred houses, dotting the entire world. They came to America in 1832, and to Canada, permanently, in 1874. In 1911, the Ste. Anne de Beaupre Province was formed for the French-speaking, and in 1918, the Toronto Province, for the English-speaking Redemptorists. These two Provinces govern thirty- five foundations, scattered from Vancouver to Newfoundland. Be- sides their missionary and parochial work in the larger Dominion centres, the Canadian Redemptorists are looking after the spiritual interests of a great foreign-born and native population in the Eastern and Western Provinces and have flourishing houses in Indo- China. In Western Canada, the Belgian Redemptorists have been the pioneers in the Apostolate among the Ruthenians.

Missions Map of Canada

During this Missionary Exhibition, the Redemptorists are dis- playing a large coloured map of Canada, indicating their various —46— —

fields. Through the Northern stretches of this huge map will be shot techni-coloured glimpses of their Canadian houses, churches and territories. On one side-panel is seen the Redemptoristic Tree, illustrating how the missionary seed, planted by St. Alphonsus, their founder, in 1732, has grown into a mighty monarch in the spiritual forest, with leaves, blossoms, fruit, branches and trunk, portraying the Redemptorist Provinces throughout the world. On the other side-panel is a large reproduction of St. Alphonsus presenting his sons to the Blessed Sacrament, to our Mother of Perpetual Help and to the Church.

The Redemptorists take this opportunity of publicly thanking the Ordinaries, Priests, Religious and Laity, for their kind thoughtfulness in allowing the Sons of St, Alphonsus to co-operate in this greatest of all works—the of immortal souls. May the Holy Redeemer, through the intercession of our Mother of Perpetual Help, bless the friends and the benefactors of the Cana- dian Redemptorists.

The White Fathers

A SOLDIER in North Africa wrote to his mother of a group of * * priests : "They wear white cassocks and have beards. They are very well groomed and highly educated, speaking many languages." He was describing the "White Fathers of Africa, whom he had met at Carthage. The Society of Missionaries of Africa (the White Fathers) were established in 1868 at Algiers in North Africa. The French had consolidated their holdings and had asked Rome to appoint Bishop Charles Lavigerie of Nancy, in France, as Bishop of Algiers. When the new Bishop arrived in his diocese he realised that the Arabs not the French—were the native people of the land. So, he immedi- ately organized an apostol'ate to them. To a Sulpician and a Jesuit Father whom he asked to be novice masters of the newly formed group he gave but one command : ' 'I want saints."

At the novitiate he announced to the candidates that "to convert Africa we must be Africans," and in accord with this policy he dressed the men in the Arab costume : a white outer garment (gandura), a white head-covering (burnous) of the Arabs, and in place of the Moslem t7— prayerbeads (tesbiha) he put around their necks the rosary, so that like the sons of Islam praying over and over the name of Allah the priests of Christ might pray over and over prayers to the true God. Because of this they are known as White Fathers.

Shortly after the foundation of the community the mission work expanded beyond North Africa and to-day the White Fathers have missions throughout the continent. In North Africa they are in Algeria, Tunisia, and the Sahara; in West Africa they work in French West Africa, French Sudan, the Gold Coast, and Nigeria; in Central Africa in the Belgian Congo; in the Great Lakes district of East Africa in Uganda, Urundi, Ruanda, Tanganyika, Nyassa- land, Northern Rhodesia, and Ethiopia; and in Jerusalem they operate the seminary of St. Anne for students preparing for the priesthood in the Catholic Melkite Rite. Besides Jerusalem the other houses they possess outside of Africa are recruiting and propaganda centres.

In the community are found Canadians, Americans, English, Irish, Scotch, French, Belgians, Dutch, Germans, Italians, Swiss, Polish, Arabs, and Africans from Central Africa. Their manner of living with one another has been described as "supernational" and this is acquired because they, leaving their homeland, endeavour to become Africans not only in appearance but in reality. They speak the lan- guages of Africa as their mother tongue, learn to love its people and its traditions, and consecrate themselves to work in, or at least, for Africa, until death.

An English-speaking recruiting centre for North America has been established at Alexandria Bay, New York, with an office at 186 Bank Street in Ottawa. There they publish White Fathers Missions. Our Lady of Africa now looks out upon the St. Lawrence River and, just as from her shrine at Carthage she, the patroness of seafarers, blesses and protects those who sail the Mediterranean, now she ex- tends a helping hand to those who navigate the river dedicated to the glorious martyr, Lawrence. There while blessing those who pass she begs the English-speaking young men of Canada and the United States to come to her house and prepare with her for her Son's work in Africa. To those at home she makes one request—to support these by thoughts and words (prayers), and by deeds (donations and contri- butions).

The Ursulines.

THE of St. Ursula is apostolic and missionary in spirit. In 1535 its foundation for the education of girls was laid at Brescia, north Italy, by St. Angela Merici, under the patronage of a British princess. That linking of Italy and Britain was a lovely symbol of the universality of the aim, which took it to the other coun-

Glengarda School.

tries of Europe, to Africa, to Brazil, Siam, Java, Alaska, China and

Japan. From Italy the Company of St. Ursula spread to France ; from France it came to America. In 1639 Venerable Mother Mary of the Incarnation, Ursuline of Tours, dared the three-month trip across the Atlantic in a sailing ship and landed at Quebec.

First Mission School.

There, in 1639, was the beginning of Mission teaching in Canada. Deliberately the Ursuline Monastery was dedicated to the Holy Family, Jesus, Mary and Joseph, to bring blessing on the families of a nation. It had for purpose—not just secular teaching of the —49— three R's—but, first of all, teaching about God and man and the Church, teaching girls how to live as good wives and mothers, how to keep their homes, to sew, to cook, to knit, to please their hus- bands and to guard and direct their children, to be queens of the home with a blessedness for earth and for heaven. It was social service in a supreme degree for pioneer Canada.

Foundation in Ontario.

In 1860 the Ursuline group, with its centre in the Diocese of London, was founded at Chatham by Mother Mary Xavier le Bihan of Brittany. To-day those Ursulines are teaching in parish schools in four dioceses—London, Toronto, Calgary, and Marquette, in Michi- gan. In Drumheller, Alberta, they are doing direct social ser- vice for the families of coal min- ers who have no . Here a trained nurse, a kinder- garten teacher, a music teacher 'and a housekeeper bring hope and charity and faith to the poor and the suffering. Music has meant much in gaiety and attraction to the Hungarian families with their gifted young singers and rhythm makers. Numbers have come back to Mass and the Sacraments by way of care and teaching given to their little children, for "a little child shall lead them."

Special work for the assistance of mentally retarded children is being done in Windsor at the Glengarda Ursuline school. Chil- dren are trained to help themselves and reach a certain academic standing besides being prepared for the reception of the Sacraments. "What you did to the least of these My little ones you did it to Me." The fine old boarding academy, known lovingly as "The Pines," in Chatham, cares for children from Kindergarten to Upper School.

Its excellent music department is faithful handmaid of Christian culture. Its recreation park and gardens provide for healthy fun and directed sports. Graduates of "The Pines" look back with gratitude to the motherly care which gave them an all-round education. —50— Catholic Higher Education.

In London the Ursuline College of Arts, in affiliation with the Uni- versity of Western Ontario, provides opportunity for B.A. and M.A. degrees which are accepted anywhere in the world. Language, philo- sophy, science, mathematics, business, laboratory technique and broadly cultural courses are offered. French, German and Spanish are inspired by contact with staff and students from foreign lands. A special B.A. degree in Home Economics admits to dietetic posts, to laboratory in- spection work and to College of Education for teaching. Upper School students with Chemistry may obtain this degree in three .years. The accompanying cut shows St. Angela Merici presenting to the Sacred Heart some of the twenty-seven Ursulines martyred in Prance during the revolution. It recalls also that devotion to the Sacred Heart was brought to America in 1639 by Venerable Mother Mary of the Incarnation many years before the revelation to St. Margaret Mary.

Jesuit Missions

ST. Ignatius of Loyola, soldier, ascetic and dreamer, founded in 1534 a company of priests, called the Society of Jesus, men ready to go to any part of the world where the glory of God or the salvation

of souls demanded. The Society was and is primarily a missionary order on the home and foreign front. The inspiring forerunner of Jesuit mission activity was St. Francis Xavier, Apostle of the Indies, and, to-day, Patron of All Missions. In his arduous journeyings through India and Japan he brought hundreds of thousands of souls into the fold of Christ. Xavier opened the way and in his footsteps followed a host of missionaries. China knew the Jesuit as priest and scientist. A hundred years after the arrival of the first Jesuits in the Empire of the Mings, three hundred Catholic churches served the Christians. Persia praised the charity of the missionaries, Bengal admired the apostles of the out- cast pariahs. Members of the Society entered Tibet, Afganistan, Tartary, Siam and the East Indies. The Western hemisphere was not neglected. St. Peter Claver, Patron of Negro Missions, preached the gospel to the black slaves —51— of Colombia, South America. Blackrobes, on the same continent, brought not only religion but also civilisation to the Indians. The priests in the famous Reductions of Paraquay taught the natives agriculture, the trades of Europe and the art of self-defence. In the year 1625 Jesuit missionaries left the shores of France to evangelize the Indians of North America. St. John de Brebeuf, St. Isaac Jogues and their companions after many vicissitudes established their head- quarters at Fort Ste. Marie, near the present town of Midland, Ontario. Their labours among the 30,000 Hurons, their heroic deaths are well known. After the destruction of the Huron missions, the successors of the Martyrs penetrated the wilderness of Canada and the United States, preaching Christ to tribes at Hudson Bay, Lake Winnipeg and the Mississippi River.

Largest Missionary Organization.

The precious heritage of Xavier, Brebeuf and Claver never dimmed or faded. The same vivifying influence to-day sends Jesuits to every part of the world, to Russia, India, China, Alaska, the Philippines, etc. The missionary endeavors of the modern Jesuits equal those of their forerunners. In 1943 the Society of Jesus, with

5,198 men serving one-eighth of the world's pagans, is the largest missionary organization in the world. One-seventh of all non-native missionary priests and one-third of the native mission Bishops are Jesuits. One-third of all students in mission lands are taught by Jesuits. Three-fifths of all mission universities and colleges are con- ducted by Jesuits. One-fourth of all periodicals published in mission lands are edited by Jesuits. The Jesuit Mission Exhibit portrays by pictures and statistics the universality of the Society's missionary endeavors. Since our atten- tion is focussed on the work of the English-speaking Jesuits of Canada among the Ojibway Indians of Ontario the work of the 619 American Jesuit missionaries in practically every land, and the fruitful labors of the 112 French-Canadian Jesuits in Suchow, China, had to be omitted. A large relief map of Ontario gives in miniature the 22,368 square miles of the Indian Missions. The 4 churches, 149 mission chapels and 20 schools, the names of the twenty-five missionaries, the various methods of travel they use to reach the 7,866 Catholics and the 3,000 non-Catholics in their territory are all shown. Large pictures on each side of the booth illustrate the life of these mis- sionaries, and Indian handiwork reveals the artistic ability of their people. The exhibit shows that Canadians have a home mission with all the hardships and poverty of a foreign land but with little of its glamor or publicity. —52— ZtoVSL 3tilvL J*JUdL

Come and see! The display of vestments, altar linens, albs, sur- plices, "porte-Dieu," etc., the handiwork of nuns and students, destined for the service of the Church in missions and needy parishes, occupy one side of the booth. On the opposite side is a pictorial

representation of the extension field of the I.B.V.M. : catechism sum- mer classes in the various provinces of Canada and in the States as far distant as South Dakota; two Mission Chapels in the Canadian West erected by the activities of the Student Mission Crusade; a handwrought chalice made of the precious metal and precious stones of jewelry donated by students and their relatives; a growing cate- chism correspondence enterprise in the Hamilton diocese, etc. The St. Francis de Sales Society for the Catholic Deaf of Toronto has its centre and weekly gatherings and annual mission at Loretto College School, Brunswick ave.

Come and see! Unique relics: a miniature model of the Holy House of Loretto; the chalice with which Mass was first celebrated in the Niagara peninsula; the large Agnus Dei, gift of Archbishop Lynch to Loretto Academy, Niagara Falls, made famous in the recent fire in which the Convent was saved . . .

Small medals of Our Lady of Loretto, patroness of aviation, are to be distributed here, as well as leaflets and small pictures, souvenirs of the Institute of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Missionary Sisters of Christ the King. 60 Spadina Road, Toronto.

THE first religious Community officially consecrated to Christ the King was founded in Canada in 1928. On the feast of Christ the King in that year the first Sisters received the habit from His Excellency Mgr. F. X. Ross, Bishop of Gaspe and Founder of the Congregation. The one and only end of the Congrega- tion of the Missionary Sisters of Christ

the King is the extension of the reign of Jesus Christ amongst infidels. For this reason, no houses are founded outside of pagan countries except those necessary for the upkeep of the Missions, houses of foundation and probation, and charitable

establishments where help is given to pagans who happen to live in Christian countries. The end of the Congregation being the extension of the reign of Christ the King in pagan countries, every form of

the apostolate is practised by its mem- bers: teaching of all kinds, hospital work in every form, social work, etc. In Canada, at present, the Communi- ity has its Mother House in Gaspe, Que-

bec. There is also a recruiting house for the Missions in Montreal, and recently more exactly, in March, 1942,—a Novi- tiate has been opened in Toronto, 60

Spadina Road, for English-speaking sub- „. . A Missionary Sister jects. of Christ the King.

Work in Japan.

Providence arranged that Japan should become the first field for the apostolic work of the Congregation. Stationed first at Kago- shima, then at Tanegashima, Seuda'i, Tokyo and Urawa, the Sisters helped in the formation of Japanese centres of Christianity, in the foundation and formation of a native Community, and directed two sanatoria for tubercular patients and a home for destitute children. —55— Hence, the booth which the Community has the privilege of presenting at the Canadian National Missionary Exhibition of Toronto will be mostly an exhibit giving an idea of the morals, habits and customs of the Japanese people.

Japanese in B.C.

At the request of the Bishop of Nelson, Most Rev. M. M. Johnson, the Sisters have for some time been devoting themselves to the wel- fare of the Japanese evacuated to Kaslo, B.C., which place has al- ready been a centre of interest for the Catholic Church Extension Society of Canada. The two great difficulties inherent to the missionary apostolate in general would not fail to paralyze the apostolic efforts of a young Missionary Congregation: the insufficiency of subjects to satisfy all the requests for aid, and the lack of material resources which slackens the progress of its works. We are confident that the Mis- sionary Exhibition of Toronto will contribute to the increase of mis- sionary vocations and will stimulate generosity towards giving finan- cial support to the missions.

The Franciscan Missionaries of Mary

THE Institute of the Franciscan Missionaries of Mary, founded in 1877 by Helene de Chappotin de Neuville, has rapidly developed during 66 years of existence, carried forward by apostolic fervour to penetrate the four corners of the earth. The humble novitiate of St. Brieuc has multiplied into 341 houses; the sphere of action has spread from France and Italy into the jungles of Africa, South America and India; to the icy shores of the far north; to the vast stretches of China; to the islands of the Pacific; and to far-distant Australia. This vast territory radiates from the Mother-House in Rome, ever influenced by the Foundress's filial submission and loving devotion to the Holy Father, the Vicar of Jesus Christ. In 1892, the first Canadian foundation was made in Quebec. This novitiate has sent, up to date, 605 missionaries to foreign parts. To- day the Canadian province comprises 7 houses: 2 in Manitoba, 5 in the Province of Quebec. In the United States 13 houses carry on missionary work among the poor, the down-trodden, and the sick. In Cincinnati, for exam- —56— pie, a school, catechism classes, and a summer camp are conducted for the Negroes ; in far-away Arizona, the Navaho Indians are gradual- ly being led from paganism to the light of the true Faith. A rapid glance over South America discovers the Franciscan Mis- sionaries of Mary located in the great cities of Buenos Aires, Rio de Janeiro, Santiago, and Lima. They are on the Amazon in Brazil, in the jungles of eastern Peru, and high up in the Cordillarans of Ecuador. Of the 28 houses 4 were opened in 1942. War conditions, difficulties and dangers of travel cannot quench the zeal of the ardent Religious, and 40 missionaries have left during the past year to be- come the humble auxiliaries of the devoted priests in South America and Africa.

Martyrs in Bombing Raid.

In Africa are 64 houses : schools, work-rooms, hospitals, lepro- saria, dispensaries, homes for the aged, lazarettos. The activity of 15 houses extends among the Arabs and Berbers of Morocco. 15 more in the Belgian Congo have gained marvellous results. The evangelization of the Dark Continent will continue, yet more fruitful, as ''the blood of martyrs is the seed of Christians." A bombing raid over Algiers struck down 15 Franciscan Missionaries of Mary in ac- tive work. Martyrs of duty, their sacrifice will bring its rich harvest.

Asia, the Eldorado of the missionary, counts its mission centres from the Holy Land to Annam, from China and Japan to Java and the Philippines. In India alone there are 25 centres, while China possesses 46.

Throughout the great cities of Europe, on all the continents of the globe the work goes on in 176 schools, 98 hospitals, 25 homes for the aged, 12 leprosaria, 170 dispensaries, and 9 lazar-houses. Annual- ly, 5,000,000 sick are cared for and 100,000 administered. Into every country, even the most distant, the Missionaries of Mother Mary of the Passion carry the privilege of Adoration of the Most Blessed Sacrament. They repeat with full hearts: "The

Most Blessed Sacrament exposed is the great Missionary of the In- stitute."

Exhibit of Fourfold Work.

The kind reader, pausing before the booth at the Missionary Ex- hibition, will learn more of what is the work of a Franciscan Mis-

sionary of Mary : the work of a Franciscan, the work of a Missionary, the work of an Adorer of the Blessed Sacrament, the work of a Victim offered in union with the Divine Victim, first Redeemer of Souls. —57— Above: St. Paul of the Cross, Founder of the Passionist Congregation.

The Passionists.

THE "Passionists" is the popular name for the Congregation of the Most Holy Cross and Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ. This congregation was founded by St. Paul of the Cross in the be- ginning of the eighteenth century. Since 1773 its headquarters have been the Retreat of Saints John and Paul in Rome, and from Italy the congregation has spread throughout the world. To-day the Passionists have monastic houses in most of the countries of Europe, in Palestine, North and South America, Mexico, Cuba, and Australia. They have foreign mission establishments in China and Africa. The Pounder of the Passionists, St. Paul of the Cross, was in- spired while still a youth to gather about himself men who, under his leadership, would preach to the world the ignominies and glories of the Cross of Christ. He was born in 1694 and died in 1775. The religious habit of the Passionists consists of a long black tunic, made of woollen cloth and gathered about the waist by a leather belt from which hangs the rosary. In winter they also use a long cape, or mantle. When at home or engaged on missions, san- dals are worn on the bare feet. The priests and professed students wear a biretta.

The distinctive feature of the Passionist habit is the badge, worn on the breast. The heart represents the Sacred Heart of Jesus ; the cross, rising from the heart, expresses the fact that it was from love that He suffered and died. The words, JESU XPI PASSIO, are in three languages : Hebrew, Greek, and Latin, like the title on the Cross; translated into English, they mean, "The Passion of Jesus Christ." These words, with the figure of the three nails, are placed within the heart to denote that we must keep the Sacred Passion of Jesus Christ always in our hearts. Like every in the Church, the Passionist Con- gregation has as its primary purpose the sanctification of its own members. This sanctification is to be realized not merely by keeping the Commandments but also by observing the evangelical counsels. The Passionist, moreover, takes a special vow which binds him to promote in the hearts of the faithful, according to his strength and in conformity with the Passionist Rule, a devotion to the Sacred Passion of Our Lord. It is by the observance of these vows in ac- cordance with the Rule that the Passionist life provides for the sanctification of its individual members and at the same time directs their activity in labors for the salvation of others. —59— and Apostle.

One would not have a correct idea of the Passionist life if one thonght of it only as an apostolic missionary life, or if one conceived of it as being a purely monastic life. It is a combination of both and it is this blending of the monastic with the apostolic life that constitutes the special spirit of the Congregation founded by St.

Paul of the Cross. The home life of the Passionist is essentially monastic and the Rule prescribes that a good part of each day be spent in chanting the Divine Office and in prayer. It is by means of this monastic life hidden from the world that the Passionist honours God day and night, makes intercession for all men, sanctifies himself, and prepares to go forth and preach to others.

The chief work of the Passionists is the preaching of Missions to the people, and of retreats to the clergy and to religious communities. For the field afar or foreign missions they are bound to go wherever sent by the Holy See. The Passionists have Missions in China and Africa. The African Missions are staffed from the European Provinces of the Congregation. American Passionists are entrusted with the Vicariate of Yuanling, Hunan, China. Some of the American Passionists are engaged in work among the coloured population of the South. In China there are at present thirty-five priests. They labour in the Province of Hunan and it is their task to Christianize a territory comprising sixteen thousand square miles. Aided by and Sisters of St. Joseph, their work has gone ahead. In spite of obstacles raised by bandits and Communists, famine and war, the priests and Sisters have laid deep foundations for the Church in China. Canadian Bishop in China.

The Most Rev. Cuthbert M. O'Gara, C.P., is the Vicar Apostolic of the Passionist Missions in China. He was born in Ottawa, Canada,

April 1, 1886; he was graduated from the University of Ottawa in 1910. Ordained a Passionist priest in 1915, he went to China in 1924. He was consecrated a Bishop in 1934. An outstanding activity of the Passionist Fathers in the United States is their work in the Apostolate of the Press. Their publication, "The Sign" magazine, has grown to be one of America's most pro- minent Catholic periodicals. Many other Provinces of the Congrega- tion are likewise engaged in the Apostolate of the Press. Headquarters of the Passionists in the Eastern United States, VERY REV. FR.

He had baptized over three hundred thousand Negro slaves in Cartagena, Columbia. In 1894 Pope Leo XIII. proclaimed him Patron of all Negro missions.

In that same year God called a young Polish lady, Countess Mary Teresa Ledochowska to continue St. Peter Claver's apostolate, though in a different way. On April 29th, 1894, she knelt before Pope Leo XIII. and received his approbation for the foundation of the Sodality of St. Peter Claver," a religious institute of Sisters, who are assisted by extern members and promoters. The foundress died in

1922. Her cause of is in process.

The Sisters do not go to Africa, but toil in civilized countries for all Catholic Negro missions situated there. About a hundred Bishops and Apostolic Prefects, as well as thousands of priests and Sisters, appeal to them to supply their needs.

Two monthlies, "Echo From Africa" and "The Negro Child," to- gether with the calendar, Claver Almanac, portray the struggles and hardships, successes and needs of African missionaries.

The following are some of the special works benefiting the mis-

sions : (1) The Union of Masses, erected by the Cardinal Vicar to Pope Pius X. (That great Servant of God enrolled himself as one of its first members and gave a special blessing to all who would join). The members share in three hundred Masses annually. Perpetual membership is obtained by an offering of 25 cents. (2) The Native African Press, which provides the missionaries gratuitously with religious books in African languages, the printing and binding of which is chiefly done by the Sisters. (3) St. Anthony's Bread. (4) Baptismal Offerings. (5) Support of Native Seminarians and Native Catechists.

In addition to monies collected many useful articles are sent to the missions, such as sacred vessels, vestments, altar linens, rosaries, medals, clothing, hospital and school supplies, etc.

Blessed By Five .

Leo XIII gave his blessing to the foundation, Pius X confirmed the religious institute and granted its rules the final approbation. Benedict XV gave his blessing and support to the Native African Press. Pius XI as a simple priest was its faithful promoter and as —61— :

Pope continued to manifest special interest. The present Pope, Pius XII, has repeatedly given his paternal blessing to the Sodality of which he had been the Cardinal Protector.

In 1939 a branch of the Institute was erected in Canada with

the sanction of His Grace Archbishop McGuigan of Toronto. It is located at 82 St. Albans Street, Toronto.

The Scarboro Foreign Mission Society IN the year 1918 Father John Fraser, a native of Toronto, who had been a missionary apostolic in China for over fifteen years, returned to Canada with the firm intention of establishing a foreign mission seminary. Archbishop Gauthier of Ottawa approved the foundation of China Mission College at Almonte, Ontario, and the institution received the blessing and support of many of the Canadian hierarchy. At Almonte, Father Fraser gathered about him, as Christ had done Himself, twelve young apostles, and in October, 1919, the monthly mission magazine, CHINA, made its first appearance. At the suggestion of the late Archbishop McNeil, property was acquired at Scarboro and the senior students were transferred to this new house. So wonderfully, however, did the work progress and so very generous became the answer to Father Fraser's appeal for help from the Catholics of Canada and Newfoundland, that in the year 1924 Saint Francis Xavier China Mission Seminary was formally blessed and opened at Scarboro Bluffs, Ontario. In the following year the Holy See allotted the district of Lishui in Southern Chekiang to the evangelization of our missioners, and Father Fraser headed the —62— first departure group for China—his companions being Rev. Vincent Morrison of Savage Harbour, P.E.I., and Rev. Ramon Serra, a priest from Spain.

From that day on the progress of the institution has been nothing less than phenomenal. In 1941 the Holy See gave final approval to the Scarboro Foreign Mission Society and its constitutions and the First General Chapter was convened. Father Fraser (now Monsig- nor Fraser) was present on this happy occasion and after the con- clusion of the deliberations he set forth once again for his beloved China, only to reach Manila in the Philippines a few days before the outbreak of the Far Eastern War. There he is interned in the Arch- bishop's residence, and although in the best of health, he has been unable to communicate with us in any way.

The Superior-General of the Scarboro Foreign Mission Society is

Right Rev. J. E. McRae and its Vicar General is Right Rev. W. C. McGrath. The Society now numbers seventy-four priests, most of whom are in the mission fields of China. Missions have been estab- lished for the Chinese of Canada in Toronto, Vancouver and Victoria. The large district of Kinhwa has been joined to the Prefecture of Lishui in China. Churches, schools, hospitals and convents have been opened in Lishui under the direction of the priests of our Society and the Grey Sisters of the of Pem- broke, Ontario. Our missioners are also laboring in the Dominican Republic of the West Indies, where the shortage of priests to care for the vast Catholic population is nothing short of tragic.

Zealous for the sanctity of the missionary priesthood, the So- ciety has this year opened a novitiate at St. Mary's, Ontario, and has placed it under the protection and patronage of St. Joseph, the foster-father of the first Missioner.

The circulation of our monthly magazine CHINA has increased from a mere two hundred to fifty thousand and is still growing.

This magazine is indeed the voice and very life of our work.

All this has not been accomplished without great sacrifices and, after God, we owe our success to our many friends in Canada, New- foundland, the United States and China. We know they will all join with us on this the happy occasion of our Society's silver jubilee, happily coinciding as it does with English-speaking Canada's first Mission Exhibition and that they will pray God that the years that lie ahead may be more fruitful still in the salvation of souls and His own eternal glory.

The Sisters of Social Service.

THE Commun- ity of the Sis- ters of Social Ser- vice is a religious o r g a nization, ap- proved by the Ca- tholic Church, de- dicated to the Holy Ghost and follow- ing the spirit of St. Benedict. The So- ciety was founded in 1908 and adopt- Sisters of Social Service on the Way to a New ed the present form Mission. in 1923.

The aim of the Society is to serve the interests of the Church and souls in the vast field of public welfare. To this end the members work in movements and organizations seeking to better the lot of mankind. In the present day with modern means and the grace of the Holy Ghost the Community endeavours to combat the evils of our times and to preserve the dignity of the individual and the integrity of the family.

Love and union with the spirit of God is the aim of the inner life of the Society and the spreading of the devotion to

the Holy Ghost is its particular voca- tion. The Society seeks to develop the consciousness of the mission of the Holy Ghost, Whose abs ence from the hearts of

The Community was invited in 1923 to Canada by the Most Reverend 0. E. Mathieu, D.D., Archbishop of Regina, Sask.

The Sisters in the Western mission field are engaged as Parish social workers, catechists and teachers. They organize groups of children for catechetical instruction,—girls and women for educa- tional and recreational activities, nursing, cooking, sewing, etc.

During the summer the Sisters visit the people in remote districts where they are exposed to adverse influences imperiling their faith.

In 1933, the Sisters of Social Service were invited by the Most Reverend G. Gauthier, D.D., Archbishop of Montreal, to work among the immigrants of that great city.

The Community's first assignment was to a growing parish recruited from new arrivals to the city. Economic conditions during the last decade have brought back great numbers of people from the farms to the city. Strangers in a new environment, unfamiliar with the lan- guage and customs, these people need a vast amount of advice and help.

It is the work of the Sisters to aid them spiritually — to teach, to guide, to comfort, to counsel.—Employment, housing, child-care, medi- cal care, schooling. — These, the corporal works of mercy, must go

hand in hand with their spiritual assistance if these people are to be saved for the Nation and the Church.

The greatest concern of the Sisters are the children and youth.

Their leisure time is employed, their latent talents are developed in different classes of handicraft, music and singing.

The work of the Sisters of Social Service was started in Toronto in 1942, on the invitation of the Most Reverend James Charles Mc-

Guigan, D.D., Archbishop of Toronto. The field of work is similar to that in Montreal.

The novitiate for Canada is at Stockholm, Saskatchewan. For their professional training the Sisters attend High School and Col- lege.

The Sisters wear a simple grey uniform, a grey hat and veil and a medal bearing the dove, the symbol of the Holy Ghost. In the Chapel the Sisters wear a black veil.

Missionary Sisters of Our Lady of Africa. (White Sisters of Cardinal Lavigerie)

HE Congrega- T tion came into existence in 1869 due to Cardinal Lavi- gerie's great com- passion for Dark Africa.

Together with the White Fathers, whose apostolate they share the White Sisters devote themselves to the Missions in North, East, Central and West Africa.

To attain their aim, the glory of God by the conversion of the infidels of Africa, the White Sisters combine a full reli- gious life to the practice of zeal in

its many forms : the teaching of Chris- Cardinal Lavigerie, Founder of the White Sisters. tian Doc trine to chil- dren and adult converts; nursing in hospitals, dispensaries and leper asylums, visiting the sick in their homes; teaching in native Ele- mentary and Secondary Schools, and Training Colleges, also in Workrooms where arts are favoured; and the training of native girls for religious life.

In 120 African Mission Stations the White Sisters conduct 35 hospitals, 27 maternity hospitals, 39 child welfare centres, 95 dispen- saries, 9 leper colonies, and in addition visit the sick in their homes. For the moral and social education of the women and girls they also conduct 55 workrooms, 102 schools, 47 orphanages and 14 for Native Sisters . qq The Motherhouse, located at Saint Charles, Birmandreis, Algeria,

is the home of 1,550 Professed Missionary Sisters. The Congregation has 30 recruiting and propaganda centres in Europe, Canada and the United States. A Postulate and first year Novitiate at 50 Gomin Road, Quebec, and an English-speaking Postulate at 319 Middlesex Avenue, Metuchen, N.J., have been opened to assist tire African Mis- sions, in particular those of British West and Central Africa. A two-year novitiate precedes regular mission life. During the first year spent at Quebec, the novices absorb the spirit of Christ,

study and assimilate the virtues ; during the second year, spent at the Motherhouse in Algeria, their practical training begins, and they come into personal contact with the natives.

The life of a Missionary of Our Lady of Africa is essentially one of self-sacrifice, of disinterestedness, of whole-hearted co-operation in the common cause—the salvation of Africa, the whole of Africa,

and only Africa. Above all there must be personal holiness : humility, poverty, mortification, zeal for the great work of conversion, "They will not evade difficulties, not even death itself, where the extension

of God's reign upon earth is concerned." (Constitution). Even though to all outward appearances the White Sister leads the life

of a Catechist, a nurse, a teacher, yet she is first and foremost a religious, a member of a community, which means that her life

for Africa is not a personal affair, but part of one great piece of work. In Central Africa, Uganda stands out as the most advanced of

all other African Missions. It is the only one, so far, possessing its own Martyrs, its own Native Bishop, its own Clergy and Native Nuns and its own Catholic generation. The Native Nuns of Uganda, now numbering 300 and having their own Superior General, were trained by the White Sisters to work among their own people. In North Africa, missionary efforts are not directed at making individual converts, which would be poor policy in the Moslem World but rather at moving masses, a slow process indeed, but one that gives more assurance of perseverance for the converts, and of lasting results. Since the outbreak of the war, the Moslems are turning to our Holy Religion. Especially in the Sahara the movement is most noteworthy. Tribal chiefs are now pleading for the Missionaries to come and establish centres in their midst.

Six White Sisters, representing four of the nations at war : Cana- dian, Dutch, English and French,—met with a tragic death, in Al- giers, during an Axis air-raid on November 22, 1942. In glory Car- dinal Lavigerie must have warmly welcomed his missionaries, mar- tyrs of charity, who lived up to his most dear and insistent recom- mendation CARITAS. "My ambition is that when men speak of —67— this little society—the most obscure in origin and the latest comer among missionary societies—they will at any rate be able to say that it is above all CATHOLIC, UNIVERSAL." This rapid sketch of the apostolate of the Missionary Sisters of Africa is incomplete. A visit at the booth at the Missionary Exhi- bition will give a better understanding of what is being done for the spread of the Kingdom of Christ throughout the African Con- tinent.

The Ukrainian Catholic Diocese of Canada. f~\ VER 50 years ago there came to Canada, with other immigrants ^S of Central and Eastern Europe, a few Ukrainians who were to be a beginning of many a thousand then yet to come. Poverty and persecution sent them here, but instead of being a land of exile, Canada became for them a haven and a land of freedom. Most of these Ukrainians came from the eastern part of the Ukraine which was predominantly Catholic. They came and settled mostly in the Prairie Provinces and helped to build up that part of our Dominion. Living in a land of liberty, they wanted to worship God in their own native way, which is according to the Greek Rite. A few Latin priests looked after their spiritual needs at first. Then came the Basilians (Ukrainian), to be soon followed by Bishop N. Budka in 1912, after the canonical visit of that greatest man among all Ukrainian Catholics, Archbishop Sheptycky of Lwiw, Poland. Churches and chapels of Oriental design were built wherever possible. The faithful would come to Mass after travelling many a mile in an ox-drawn cart. The work of the early missionaries was hard and they could not have services often in one place, so the people would assemble by themselves and pray together in the hum- ble "houses of God." Bishop Budka strove and succeeded in having more secular priests brought from Europe and later young, zealous, Canadian-born priests, sons of the first pioneers of Canada, carried on the missionary work. The Redemptorist Fathers came also among these early pioneers and are still working among the Ukrainian people, whose mauy sons joined the Redemptorist Congregation, the mother house of which

is in Yorkton, Sask. In the latter locality there is a Redemptorist Monastery, a college directed by the Christian Brothers as well as a Convent for girls, directed by the Ukrainian Sisters of the Imma- culate Conception. —68— The Ukrainian Sisters have homes and convents in every province of the Dominion, and they direct two hospitals, one in Mundare, Alta., and the other in Wellington, Alta. An orphanage is under their supervision in Ituna, Sask., and an Old Folks' Home in Kamarno, Man. In many a mission and parish they also teach religion to the children after school hours. When Bishop Budka was recalled to Europe, the vast diocese had about 30 priests, and now it has over 100, thanks to the zeal of Bishop Ladyka, his hard-working priests and generous sons of the Ukrainian people. These priests belong to the Order of St. Basil, Redemptorists and secular priests who were educated in the seminaries of the Latin rite in Montreal, Toronto, London, Ont., Edmonton and Rome. In order to counterbalance the anti-Catholic or non-Catholic in- fluence of those who thought these immigrants to be an easy prey, the clergy of this noble people stressed the need of a press. Now they have several weekly and periodical publications which spread the word of God to the remotest missions.

Catholic Action is not forgotten, for there is an organization under the name of the Ukrainian Catholic Brotherhood, both for old and young alike, based on Catholic principles, shunning extreme national- ism and radicalism.

In fifty years their progress was such that Rome deemed it neces- sary to name an auxiliary Bishop in the person of a Basilian monk, Rev. N. N. Savaryn, who was consecrated in the summer of this year at St. Michael's Cathedral in Toronto.

Helped by Extension.

The progress of the Ukrainians was due in great part to the help of some of the Latin Bishops and clergy, and the Catholic Church Extension Society. The latter helped build many a church, so wonderfully designed, as one may see in Dauphin, Man., Portage la Prairie, Cook's Creek, and Mountain Road, Man., by the naturally talented builder and architect, Rev. P. Rhue, O.M.I., who accepted the Greek Rite to serve the Ukrainians.

What strikes us most is the colourful display and expressive sym- bolism of the rite of our Ukrainian Catholics. Their Mass is a con- tinuous dialogue between the people and the celebrant. Although of a different rite, they are proud to be Catholics and of their wonderful progress. May we all try to understand them and pray for their perseverance in the pathway of success and triumph over diverse difficulties. —69— The Franciscan Order.

T^ ARLIEST of the missionaries in Canada (1615) and first to say *-* Mass on Ontario soil, the were among the most re- cent to enter a new field in the Dominion when the "problem" mission of the Japanese evacuees at Slocan, B.C., in the Diocese of Nelson, was assigned to the brown-robed in 1942. Previously, other Cana- dian Franciscans had embarked for other missions, such as China, Japan, and Peru. Probably the most cherished mission territory where Canadians are labouring is the Custody of the Holy Land. Bethlehem, Nazareth, Jerusalem, and the other sites and scenes hallowed for all time by Our Lord's earthly presence, were entrusted to the Franciscan Order by the Church several centuries ago. Besides the daily toil of admin- istering to the Oriental and Latin Catholics, of building and main- taining parish churches, schools, and orphanages, and hospices for pilgrims, the guarding of the shrines has cost the lives of a vast number of friars during the recurring Schismatical and Mahom- medan outbreaks. The sacred trust of the Holy Places belongs to the

Order as a whole, not to any particular province of it, and Fran- ciscans from all parts of the world are the workers in that unique mission field. Booth Shows the Holy Land.

Canadian Catholics have generously contributed to their apostolate through the annual Good Friday collection which, by request of the

Popes, is for the upkeep of the Holy Places. Another Canadian con- tribution has been made in men. Some twelve Canadian Franciscans, including both priests and lay brothers, are at present labouring in

the Custody of the Holy Land. It is this mission which is featured in the Franciscan booth at the Missionary Exposition.

Interest in the Land of Christ is a natural inheritance for the Order founded by St. Francis of Assisi, he who loved Our Lord so tenderly in His Sacred Humanity and who bore the miraculous im- print of the Saviour's sacred wounds. St. Francis himself had visited the Holy Places in 1219, after he had accompanied the Crusaders and had interviewed the Sultan of Egypt in a missionary endeavour to convert to Christ the fierce potentate and his Moslem people. The venture itself was unsuccessful, but it meant the launching anew of the missionary ideal among the Christian people. The idea flowered and bore fruit—witness the Toronto Exposition—and the Franciscan Order has endeavoured to live up to the high ideals of its founder. —70— To-day there are 27,000 men in brown, sons of St. Francis, throughout the world. Of these, 5,000 are engaged in the foreign missions, co- operating with other missionaries, and preparing a native clergy for the spread of the Kingdom of Christ. The Canadian Province of the Order with 500 members, 3O0 of whom are priests, has 60 fathers and brothers in foreign missions. Headquarters, with the Provincial's residence, are at 2010 Dorchester Street West, Montreal.

GpDAtlsLL d£* Canada,

The Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate

SIX Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate: four priests and two Lay-brothers, came to Canada in 1841 from the sunny South of France. Within ten years of their arrival they had spread to the Arctic, the Pacific and the Gulf of Mexico. To-day they number eighteen hundred in Canada and are established across the Dominion in five religious provinces, and have charge of six Vicariates, and are sending forth missionaries to Africa, Haiti, Philippines, and back to Europe itself. Their pioneer work in the West has won them an enviable place in Canadian history as well as in the missionary annals of the Church. They went West to bring the faith to the Indians and pro- videntially were there to safeguard it for the Whites when the great rush of settlers came in the last quarter of the century. The Black Robe of the O'blate Missionary is as much a symbol of frontier days as is the Red Coat of the Mounties. So we are not surprised to see on the map names of old missionaries—Lacombe, Legal, Leduc, Vegre- ville, St. Albert, Grouard, Michel, Moricetown, Lebret, given in grati- tude to towns, lakes and landmarks. The cathedral churches them- selves of St. Boniface, Winnipeg, Prince Albert, Saskatoon, St. Al- bert, Calgary, and Vancouver, are lasting monuments to their work. The Fathers of the English Province have fallen heir to these missionary traditions, and continue the pioneering work even to-day as the missionaries of the Indians of British Columbia. Twenty- nine priests and twelve laybrothers minister to the 10,150 Catholic Indians. They radiate from nine centres, serving eighty Mission chapels and staff six Indian residential schools.

But it is the Missions among the Eskimos of the Great North- lands that have spread a special lustre over the Congrega- tion. These more than any other missions merited from the late —71— Pope Pius the XI the strong commendation that "the Obliates were specialists in the most difficult Missions." Contact with Eskimos was made as early as 1860; and the systematic development of these Missions was started over twenty-five years ago. The Faith seemed to need the shedding of blood of the missionaries before taking root in the cold North. Fathers Rouviere and Le Roux met their death at the hands of Eskimos; but the Eskimo Missions of the Mackenzie were founded. In 1912 Bishop Turquetil started his life work at Chesterfield Inlet. The heavenly intervention of the Little Flower succeeded in breaking down the resistance of the natives.

Anselm, Superior General of the Sisters of Providence, Kingston. On the right of the centre back panel is a mural of St. Vincent de Paul, the saint with the great heart and the burning zeal which

Sisters of Providence Mother House, Kingston, Ont. found its outlet in the foundation of several Missionary Orders de- voted to the works of charity and social service. This great saint has been a source of inspiration to numberless Orders of women who have dedicated themselves to every form of work for the relief of human misery. These dauntless pioneers it was who blazed the trail through vast areas, over mountain and plain, and left a glowing example to future generations of like generous souls who would continue the work so well begun, of tending the sick, caring for the aged and infirm, and ministering to the orphans. In Booth 3 you will see exhibits illustrative of the work of religious communities who from coast to coast carry on in hospitals and in other fields of social service a ceaseless campaign for the betterment of their fellow-men. Miniatures depict the varied costumes of Sisters and of lay nurses devoted to such work. Examine posters and pictures and read the literature found in

-74- 7brtfon*-U}idsL (Utah* Socisfy. The Women's Auxiliary of the Catholic Church Extension Society of Canada.

THE Auxiliary was organized in 1910 for the purpose of co- operating in every way wiih the work of the Catholic Church Extension Society. Its principal objects are the making of vest- ments and altar linens and supplying the mission chapels with every- thing necessary for offering the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, and providing itinerant missionaries with portable Mass equipment. The vestments and altar linens to be used by the visiting Bishops at the Exhibition in Toronto have been made by the Women's Auxiliary to be sent to the Missions of the West.

With the growth of the work many other worthy objects have presented themselves and have now become regular activities of the Auxiliary.

Where it does not overlap the work of other groups, the collecting, mending and shipping of warm clothing, knitted wear and other comforts has been found of untold value to the priests, sisters and teachers in their work among their parishioners in remote sections. At Christmas large cartons of toys and new clothing carry the good wishes of the East to the children of the West. There are branches of the Auxiliary in many cities and towns throughout Canada, all associated with the National Council, with headquarters in Toronto, Ontario.

The Auxiliary's Booth.

The women of the Auxiliary have a prominent booth in this first National Missionary Exhibition, facing the main entrance, where they have set up and equipped an altar with equipment exactly like that sent to the missions by their organization, including altar stone, linens, chalice, ciborium, condlesticks, vestments (they supply five sets with each kit) and everything required for saying Mass, and for sick calls.

The annual fee is just one dollar and the spiritual advantages are many.

If you are not already a member (male members are very welcome by virtue of their financial support), full information is obtainable at all hours during the Congress at the Auxiliary Booth. —75— OL JthsL TJttMjumaAj^ fcxhibitiwL

THE relief map of the Dominion which forms the foreground of the Sisters' exhibit shows the num- ber of houses founded in Canada since the Sisters came in 1851. Ribbons connect each dependent house with its parent foundation and, as every Mother House reaches out a particular colour to all its dependents, the story is not difficult to read. Each of the six Mother Houses is linked, too, to the house from which it branched originally, so that, directly or indirectly,

' all are in some way linked to a miniature ' Carondelet," the Sisters' first North American house. The distinctive works of the Community are re- presented by the four wooden uprights showing, (1) care of the sick, (2) care of the aged, (3) care and education of orphans, and (4) education of children.

The back wall of the booth is in the form of a mural which portrays the high lights in the history of the Community from its inception in 1650 to the opening of its first Canadian Mission House (Toronto) in 1851. The central panel is of the Blessed and the Holy Family and gives- the keynote to the lives and work of a Community which is "consecrated to the Most Holy Trinity and . . in a special manner under the protection of the Holy Family."

Quality, made up of good design, careful workmanship and fine materials, is more important than ever these days when you must do with less, make things last longer.

Shoes must take more mileage, clothing is required to retain its good looks through longer service, furniture must last and foods should be of the best grade to give maximum nourishment and be tasty enough to make up for lack of variety.
