ROME HONOURS EDUCATOR

Most people are aware of the great respect with which Catholics treat the remains of those who have been declared saints by the Church, and, in spite of occasional misconceptions, most

Intelligent

people understand the nature of the honour that is given--that it is honour and nothing more. Natur- ally, the bodies of those who are venerated as the founders of great religious institutions receive parti- cular veneration, and it was for that reason that, at the wish of the Pope, the remains. of St. John Baptist de la Salle, the founder of the Congregation of Brothers so well-known iri Hong Kong, were recently transferred to the new headquarters of the Congregation in Rome, from Belgium, where the body found a resting-place when the Brothers were expelled from France.

The remains of the Saint, which were received with great honour at various points of the journey, were escorted through Rome by a pro- cession of two hundred motor-cars to the Jesuit Church of the Gesu, where they were solemnly received by Cardinal Marchetti-Salveggluni, the Vicar of Rome. on behalf of the Pope. An enormous crowd full- ed the great square outside the church, and tumultuous applause broke out when the remains reach- ed the door-a testimony to the work of the Religious sons of St. John Baptist de la Salle as well as to the virtues of the saint him- self. The bands of several of the" Brothers" schools played as the urn was borne into the church. Many thousands of persons filed before the remains during the days that they remained. In the church, and finally the body was transferred to its permanent rest- Ing-place in the chapel of the Superfor-General On the Via

LITERATURE ABOUT CHINA The presence in Hong Kong dur ing the past week of representa- tives of two well-known Catholic periodicals that deal largely about China, "The Far East" and "Jesult Missions," both published in the United States, recalls the fact that the most abundant source of in- formation about China throughout the whole world is the Catholic Mission literature. The purpose of these periodicals is to arruse in- terest in the efforts that are being made to spread the Catholic Faith in distant lands, they are to be numbered by hundreds, and as they are mostly written by men who are actually resident in China they are recognised as a mine of Information about everything con- nected with Chine, and, as the friendliness of Catholic mission- arles towards the Chinese people is

In an appeal for recruits to the Terrortal Army. Mr. Duff Cooper asked his audience what was the use of armaments and the latest inventions if the men were not behind them-men trained in the use of these armaments.

Every war would ultimately be settled by the spirit and patriot- iam of the men of the countries concerned.

"If we realise this first, fact that in a world where military service is made compulsory, the nation that prefers and is proud to cling The solemn fact, he said, was

Those who had not their eyes on the Continent would have these fearful symptoms brought home to them by the statement of the Exchequer in the House of Com- mons when he proposed to borrow £400,000,000 Jn order to re-equip our defence services.

Conscription was most hateful to the English tradition and still more to the Scottish tradition of freedom and independence.

He thought that if they put the matter to their young men they would succeed.

The Arsenal defence has not been weakened by the introduction of players like Boulton and Comp- ton. Herbert Roberts remains the same safe "policeman."
