Our. Cl00,.rgy and the
Missions ..o
The Catholic Church, the Uni-
versal Church, is essentially a mis-
sion organization. Charged both by
word and example of Her Divine
Founder to carry the Cross of
Christianity -,into the wilderness.
She is sworn to an ageless crusade
for souls. Her spirit is the mission
spirit and her feet, shod with the
preparation of the gospel, may not
stand long in one place. The whole
world is her vineyard and the Mas-
ter's harvest will not wait. She is
the endless pioneer searching the
dark places and her constituted
children are all soldiers in a tre-
mendous mission army which Is
the Church.
In the vanguard of that army are
the clergy--those zealous souls
whose lives and fortunes have been
consecrated in the service of the
Master. It is mainly upon their un-
yielding shoulders that the great
task of the missions repose. "Oth-
er Christs,'" so to speak, our good
priests must run the mission er-
rands of the Church down the cor-
ridors of the world. Their zeal for
souls must be absolute, their wills
strong and unflinching, their desire
for sacrifice insatiable. rhether

the feelings of those directly con-
carried--the nuns and the pupils.
Eric Shepherd, brother of a real
live Mother Superior, knows well
that the Community would not lose
its collective mind, that fainting
spells and hysteria would be "de
trap" but that Christian courage
would face the fact and seek the
solution.
Despite its title, this is a lively
book and humor forces an entrance
when two opposite schools of
thought face each other--convent
training and the police-methods.
The representatives of the world's
law must be summoned and arrive
in haste only to be "interred in a
small and hideous parlor designed
to break the contentious spirit of
visiting parents." At this point the
spirit of "Father Brown" takes hold
and inspires as fine a chief in-
spector as we ever hope to meet,
to his wits to Reverend Mother's
omniscience, making vast delight
for the reader who will find that
the real mystery ties in guessing
what school he knows most nearly

Murder in a Nunnery is Eric
Shepherd's first book and we are
happy to present a new author
whose future work will be eagerly
awaited by readers who sense that
a bright and colorful personality
has been added to the list of Catho-
lic story-tellers.

in proportion to the waiting har-
vest it is vital that each and every
one of them understands their im-
,ortance in the mission rmy. Our
wiests as leaders in the crusade
or souls must be'well disciplined
and inspiring models of the Master
under .Whom they march, thorough-
ly unflerstanding their duty and in-
exorably discharging it. The mar-
tyr spirit must be in them; they
must be made of the stuff which
thrives on sacrifice and wins al-
ways. Our Lord said to St. Paul, a
fearless crusader: "I will show
him what he will suffer for My
namesake." Thus, an earnest desire
to fill out the merits of Christ's
suffering with his own sacrifices
becomes the first requisite of the
priest-commandant in the mission
army. Uniting his sacrifices to
those of the Master his ability to
suffer any hardship and to triumph
despite obstacles becomes as abso-
lute as God sees fit to allow.
• Granted a complete submission
to the discipline of the Cross and
burning zeal to preach Christ Cru-
cified, in order to do their most
effective work as leaders in the
mission army our priests must
thoroughly understand the mission
vocatmn of the Church, the mission
methods of the Church, and the
mission needs of the Church. To
discuss these in order:
(a) The Mission Vocation of the
Church
Christ's mandate to "Go forth.
teaching all nations whatsoever I
have commanded you" is unmis-
takable. The Mystical Body of
Christ in the divine order of things
has no choice but to grow. We are,
all of us--Bishops, priests, reli-
gious, and lay - people --important
cells in that Mystical Body. It is
for us to multiply and to grow con-
tributing to the health and vigor of
that body. In normal complement
there ought to be es many mission-
aries as Catholics, for to be a gobd
Catholic means "ex officio" to be a
good missionary. If laymen should
be interested in the mission crm
sade how much more odr clergy
upon whom depends in fine the
direction of the movement! Our
pastors, our parish priests, and
those engaged in educational activ-
ities sometimes forget the essential
missionary character o f Holy
Church; but we as Bishops ap-
pointed to supervise the feeding of
the lambs of the flock may never
forget and never cease to remind
the good fathers under our juris-
diction of their grave obligation in
this regard. re remind them to
rededicate them.selves to the glor-
ious business of making converts;
to understand anew the important
mission vocation of that great, Mys-
tical Body of which they are essen-
tial organs. The Sacred Heart of
our Shepherd grieves daily for
souls unlighted by His love and
those souls are the first business
of every pastor, every priest in the
mission army.
(b) Mission Methods of the Church
Secondly, it is important to un-
derstand tile mission methods of
the Church and that through study,
through experience, through the
wise direction of their Bishops they
thoroughly train themselves to the
missionary way. That way is the
way of endless patience and per-
sistence. The devious approach to

Statue of St. Isaac Jogues, heroic missionary-martyr of America,
on the shore of Lake George, New York. "Were it not for these
Immortal martyrs of the mission Church," says Archbishop Beck-
man, "our land, our way of life, would today be bleak and cheerless,
our institutions decadent, and education a mockery."
hearts long dark and cold is always
:based" upon the spectacle of the
cross. The words of the Master:
"When I shall be lifted up I shall
draw all hearts to me" give the cue.
The human heart is the-organ of
love and the birthplace of etel'nal
joy once lighted by the love of
Christ. St. Paul is the proof that
the hardest heart is powerless to
resist the all consuming love eman-
ating from the Cross of Christ "For
I am the least of the Apostles who
am not worthy to •be called an
Apostle. " But by the grace of God
I am what I am." St. Paul was a
great missionary fully alive to the
power of the Cross as a weapon of
love unparallelled. He knew that
the mission method was the method
of love and that the prerequisite to
conversion was 4 surrender of
oneself at the feel = of the broken
Christ. Our Lord's entire ministry
was a sermon in the art of conver-
sion, a sermon animated by a single
theme of inexhaustible love for the
sick souls about Him. The Divine
eloquence of His word and example
should be the eternal inspiration of
our priests as they seek new,ways
and means to conquer sotls for
their Shepherd.
The ybun Father with a gift for
inspired sermoning will find his
talent powerful as a missionary
asset; the quiet and seemingly in-
articulate Father may in his
priestly example alone bring souls
to Christ. To be models of the
God-Man, infected with His all-con-
suming love, to be "other Christs"
is to insure the success of our
priests as mission soldiers.
(c) Mission Needs of the Church
Lastly, it is vitally important that
our priests understand and explain
from the pulpit the immense mis-
sion needs of the Church. In these
critical times the mission necessi-
ties of Christ's Mystical Body, both
spiritual and material, have become
tremendous. "With two-thirds of
the world at war wide-spread eco-
inomic dislocations have occurred
and a corresponding fall in mission
revenues is the result This very
hour the pennies of Europe are be-
ing mustered for bread as thou-
sands face a winter of semi-starva-
tion; the blight of misery has
fallen upon war-torn lands and now,
backs to the wall, millions of for-
merly mission- minded Catholics
fight for their very lives. It is
natural, therefore, that distracted
to the point of desperation, these
peoples should cease to be at'least
temporarily a source of comfort to
the mission army.
As every hour passes it becomes
more and more apparent that the
hope of the missions is now Amer-
ica; the sweet burden of convert-
making and its support is largely
becoming ours to shoulder. The
Catholic Church, organization of
the spiritual Red Cross in America,
is rising to meet this challenge. It
becomes the vital duty of our
priests to redouble their efforts in
obtaining the spiritual and material
support of the faith[uh The laity
must be vigorously reminded of its
great debt to the missionary Fath-
ers who at the heroic sacrifice of
their very lives brought the Light
into the wilderness that was Amer-
ica. VCere it not for these immortal
martyrs of the mission Church our
land, our way of life, would today
be bleak and cheerless, our institu-
tions decadent, and education a
mockery. For both priest and peo-
ple the mission obligation is grave.
We have not more than begun to
scratch the surface of mission sup-
)ort in America! Our alms, our
prayers--unceasing prayers for the
restoration of peace, the success of
the missions, the spread of the
Church Universal into every corner
of the globe--these must be mar-
shalled by our clergy as they rally
all Christendom about the glorious
standard of the Cross.
These thoughts I pass on to the
American clergy for what they may
be worth. The hope of the world is
in the hearts and hands of YOU,
our priests. The viaticum of human-
ity is yours to carry whither your
courage, your determination, may
carry you. In times such as these
it is the inescapable duty of every
Catholic clergyman and of the en-
tire body Catholic to think, act, and
be MISSION-MINDED!

How to Begin the Day
Follow the Liturgical Romance of the Church
Hilaire Belloc has said thB best
way to begin the day is by assist-
ing at Mass. But perhaps you can't
assist at Mass.
Then at least say some prayers.
You wouldn't think of beginning
the day without breakfast. You
need as well strength for your
soul in prayer.
If you haven't time for long
prayers, say the morning offering.
O Jesus, through the Immaculate
Heart of Mary, I offer Thee my
prayers, works and suffering of
this day, for all th Interltions of
Thy Sacred Heart, in union with
the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass
throughout the world, in repara-
tion for my sins, for the intentions
of all our associates and in par-
ticular for saintly mothers.
Then think over briefly the life
of the Saint whose feast day it is.

;00re • 'Patroness Club
Your Informat,on- To Meet Oct. l
/ / Ir= I • /I Rockford.--The Patroness club of
L.nurcn [xpla [ nee[ St" Th°mas high sch°°l ann°unces
that the first meeting of the year
will take .place Tuesday evening,
Oct. 1. Benediction will be given
f You're A Non-Catholic, You Want to Know
This; If You're a Catholic, You Should Know
Don't Marry a Catholic!
Don't ever permit yourself, dear
non-Catholic friend, to fall in 10re
with a Catholic, for love is unreas-
oning and lures its victims into
inking that they are exceptions
to all rules and experiences.
Should you determine to marry
a Catholic, you would first have
to make an agreement, binding in
conscience, never to interfere with
the full performance of your wife's
religious beliefs and practices--to
have all your children baptized in
the Catholic Faith, reared in it,
educated in it. And this you would
have to continue to do even, should
your wife die when the children
were still babies.
Family Divided
If you were to wed a Catholic,
a priest--and only a priest--could
marry you; nor would a second
ceremony by the minister of your
own church be permitted.
Should you marry a Catholic,
your family would always be di-
vided, religiously speaking, and you
would be the lone outsider, left at
home when the rest went to Mass
or Benediction, or going alone to
your own church of a Sunday, or
trailing along with your wife and
children, a spectator, but not a par-
ticipant in their• worship. And some
day you would wonder just what
to answer when the children who
belonged to you would ask why
you, too, didn't go to Confession
or Holy Communion.
In the Catholic Church, marriage
is a sacrament which calls for
mutual spiritual advancement as
well as physical love. It calls for
children without unnatural hind-
rance--Catholio children, all of
them. Marriage, too, is a contract I
made before God and man which
is totally binding "till death doth
us part."
Safeguard Faith
The Catholic Church does all in
its power to discourage mixed-mar- i
riages and permits them only with:
the greatest reluctance. Its mai--
riage laws were enacted, not to!
antagonize those of other creeds, l
not to work a hardship on anyone, i
but to safeguard the Faith of the l
Catholic--the Faith which is God's
most precious gift and for which
millions of Catholics have died.
