' It Is only within the past 10 years - that eystematio missionary effort has : teen made a prominent feature of Cath olic church work in the United States. American Catholics are looking more . and more to the Catholic university at Washington . as a oenter of church ac tivity la this country. The Apostollo - Mission.! house, on the university r, grounds, is the center of the mlsslon- ery endeavpr - to reach non-Cathollca . This house is tha training school for the missionaries, picked priests espe ' clally gifted as preachers who are sent 'V liere frpm all over the country to b . trained or Ufa work In the mission v field. f i Fifteen years ago the first mission to a non-Catholics was held. It was followed hr ethers and 10 veara ago the move ment was well under way. There are ary union, representing the blBhops of the United States, which alms to reach the non-Catholics and 'to make America dominantly Catholic." Not only do the missionaries of this organization seek to add converts to the church in places where tha church ia already established. but they are going out into the frontier and getting converts to organise new parishes. Hera comes In the work of the Church Extension society. This is a compara tively young organisation which is imi tating the methods so long in use by various Protestant churches in America. When there are but a few Catholics in a small town, and most of them quite poor, as is frequently the case, the Church Extension society helps build a church. If the people of the parish can raise a Btnall sum, the society will ad vance enough to pay for the erection w nen ui tiaw.mdre than 100. missionaries in the field preaching to 7non-Cathollos Last rear 25.065 converts were received into ha Cathollo church In the United States .. almost .wholly as a result of the mis sions to non-Catholics. - Tb Qnestloa Box, J- This peculiar phrase of religious ae- tlvity is unique in tha church of Rome; not that the church is different in the V United States, but that ' the American t people are different and the opportun ' ftles here are different. The guiding have found from practical experience any city er town of the country to I preach to non-Catholics and that they will be aiven a respectful hearing. They have found that non-Catholics will come to listen to the explanations of the pe culiar and distinctive doctrines of .the Catholic church, provided they are pre sented by a man who la a good speaker and who 4s personally attractive. The policy adopted in all these mis sions Is to confine the effort to ex plaining the doctrines of the Catholic ' church. All reference to other churches Is avoided, and controversial questions are not permitted to come up. One of the effective features of -the missions to non-Catholics has been the qt spirits of the Apostollo Mission house have round rrom practical experience rf"-"" I"llluu" d"p n"i'nu- that they can send missionaries into ?r fifty years it was the only Cathollo parish prospers, this money win Da paia back and will be used to build another church in some other struggling parish. Caapel Care Employed. A "chapel car" is in use by Catholic missionaries. It is a Pullman car fitted up as a Cathollo chapel, having all the aDnurtenancea necessary for the cele bration of the rites of the church. It Is switched off on a side-track in a place where there Is no Catholic church. The few Catholics of the place, who have not attended a service for years perhaps, gather about the chapel car and are brought back lrito touch with their faith. Non-Catholics are also at tracted and the missionary takes ad vantage of the opportunity to preach. Many such visits as these have resulted in the building of a church and the es tablishment or a new parish. It Is the especial province of the Church Extension society to look after the interests of the Catholics who have moved Into small towns, mostly in the west ami south, where there Is no church of their faltlu Astonishing records of success are made by the mis sionaries who have gone out after these strayed sheep, and. Instead of bringing them back to the fold have erected a fold where thesheep were found. Two hundred new Cathollo chapels in six years is the record. Church Goods Department. This society also makes an effort to supply Tery poor churches with vest-i ments and other articles of church goods. Thousands of vestments have been distributed gratia and now a sep arate . church goods department is maintained. The missionaries often find cases of extreme need. For in stance, a report was made from South Carolina of the condition of the mis sion church at Cheraw. This mission was established in 182. arid ten years later the church was built and dedi cated Dy the -famous Bishop England. , (United Fiwm Leased Wire.) Oakland, Nov. 16.
