' 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

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

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

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.
