Rev. Dr. Maguire Makes Great Impression The Gill of China educated who had been abroad, and, over night, so to speak The naChina became a Republic. tions of the world rubbed their eyes in amazement; it was unbelievable. Incidentally, I may mention, as showing the size of the country and the condition of the inhabitants, that there are people in China to -day who would be quite surprised to hear that China The news has become a Republic. of the revolution of 1911; has not yet reached them. "The object of Dr. Sun Yat Sen and his colleagues was to bring their country into line with the other nations of the world by uplifting the people inUnfortuntellectually and socially. ately, financial reasons made it impossible for them.to carry many of their schemes to effect; but they did a good deal, and are doing a good deal to -day, despite the fact that the country has ceased to be a political unit. They established a number of modern schools and took steps to eradicate China's national vice, the opium habit. For Many years this drug had been the curse of the country -worse than the drink evil in other lands. It was brought to China, however, not with the consent of the people or their rulers, but dead against their wishes. Its introduction was one of the many big sins that have been committed from time to time in the name of trade. A number of foreign merchants, backed up by their respective Governments, forced the Chinese to allow their coon try to be made a dumping ground for the seductive product of the opium poppy. England waged a war-successfully, I need scarcely say -with China to compel her to admit the drug. The results for China were disastrous. By 1911, when the revolution broke out, about 70 per cent of the men were more or less addicted to the use of opium. Then the Republican leaders took action, and issued an edict prohibiting the use of the drug. The edict --affecting hundreds of millions of people-was not easily enforced, and the foreign merchants, whose interests were jeopardised by it, protested loudly. China's new leaders were adamant, however; they put China first, and, to facilitate the carrying out of the prohibtion edict ordered that all the opium pipes in the country should be gathered together and burned publicly. Many, of those pipes were very, valuable-mounted in gold and silver' and ivory-and some suggested that they should be spared. But the Government refused; every pipe had to be destroyed. If you come to His Majesty's Theatre on July 17th, to our Chinese Picture Entertainment, you will have the pleasure of seeing photographs of the burning of the opium, pipes in China. Historic photographs they are. "From our point of view, the most important change brought about by the Revolution of 1911 was in the Department of Worship. Under the Republic, liberty of conscience was guaranteed throughout China. As a result, every Chinese would be free to embrace and practise any religion he pleased, and Christian Missionaries in China would no longer preach the Gospel at the risk of their lives. As China is still a pagan country, however, this freedom of worship is frequently not given, effect in practice. Quite recently, for example the Christians in our province (Houpeh) were subjected to a violent local persecution. Twenty nine Catholic men-all fathers of young families-were taken to the pagan temples and ordered, wider pain of death, to worship idols. They refused to a man, and were martyred immediately. A later message brought tidings of the martyrdom of a priest in the same province. A number of pagan spirit soldiers attacked him in his house and drove a rough spear through his head from ear to ear. Dr. Maguire proceeded ta explain the beliefs and practices of pagan China, pointing out the many elements of truth to be found in her three rch g;ous systems: "C.nifuoia-mm, Tavism and Buddhism -the existence of a spiritual soul, a future life, where virtue ,M be rewarde an evildoing punished, the existence of angels or spirits -good and bad -and so on. The systenis also contain many ridiculous elements, of course; but the leaders of pananism, finding their grip on the hearts and intellects of the people loosening as a result of modern critic-
ism, have conceived the idea of modernising their paganism by eliminating its more obvious absurdities and intro clueing into their creeds and ritual a number of ideas and practices borrowed from Christi snits "It is obvious that if China is to become modernised on Christian lines there is no time to lose The heathen world will be satisfied to remain in the ciark ages no large:. 'We are spectators to -day,' writes Father Gil, S.J. 'of one of those world -dramas which radically change the history of mankind. This world -drama is the modernising of the pagan nations, a movement which involves a thousand mil. lion' human beings, which embraces everything that me:ses for their culture and which concerns in a strafing degree their religion. Never before has the Church found herself in the presence of a crisis so transcendently significant.' "Half the pagans ofthe whole world ;lye in China, and in China modernis "ng forces are more active than in any other pagan country. Twelve years ago a World Congress of Protestant Missions was held in Edinburgh to ar range for a speedy evangelisation of the most important non-Christian countries of the world. Four great regions were mapped out. First on the list from the point of view of urgency and promise-came China. The other three-in order-were:Africa, India and a region comprising Turkey and Persia. Since then united Protestantism has been pouring missionaries and teachers by the thousand, and money by the million, into China. Protestants now control practically all the higher Christian education of the court. try. Their splendidly equipped schools and universities are to be found in every important centre packed with China's rising generation. In addi tion, they have captured a larger section of the reading public by the vol. nme and variety of their press output. Finally-. their medical and charitable institutions have won them a way to the hearts of the suffering and destitute wherever they have appeared. "God's blessing is certain to attend the efforts of the Catholic missionary in China. as in every country. But without material resources he is practically helpless. He must be equipped financially as well as intellectually and spiritually for the struggle in which he has undertaken to engage. "It is frequently said that Protest ant missions are financed on a huge scale by a comparatively small number of wealthy adherents, who think in thousands sometimes in millions That is true, but it is only half the truth. The rank and file contribute no less generously according to their means. The children also give their share. One Protestant school in Lon. Pon. accommodating, goo children, subscribes ZOO a year to the Missions. "The splendid Catholics of the West will sec to it that the struggle we have last referred tothe struggle between the rival modernising forces in China will end in our day its a victory for the forces of Truth. Tf everyone helps ictory is assured. God will not-cannot -fail us"

IN MEMORIAM.

At all the five Masses celebrated at the Cathedral of the Immaculate,Conception, Perth, on last Sunday, the Rev. Dr. Magure, Principal in Australia of the Irish Mission to China, briefly addressed each of the largo congregations. A very favourable impression was made upon the people by the earnestness of the Missionary. His story, almost new to Western Australia, was narrated in picturesque style, describing Chinese life and customs and the paganism in which millions of Dr. Maguire the people are steeped. unfolded in plain language the vast opportunities existing for the propagation of the Faith and the firm establishment of Catholic Christianity in that country. ARCHBISHOP CLIME INTRODUCES DR, MAGUIRE. During the nine, ten, and eleven o'clock Masses his Grace the Archbishop introduced the Rev. Dr. Maguire by almost repeating briefly his cogent remarks of the previous Sunday. His Grace expressed his great pleasure in introducing one of the principals of the illustrious band of young Irish missionaries, whose achievements were now so remarkable as to link them with the other great Christianising movements recorded in the history of the He drew a parallel between Church. the great Jesuit movement centuries ago and the present brilliant and intellectual effort. Their adherence to the command of God was worthy of the highest recognition on account of the marvellous spread of the movement and the phenomenal results it had already achieved. "It is my pleasure," continued the Archbishop, "to introduce Dr. Maguire to you all, and I hope earnestly that you all will help him according to your means; that you will take to heart this great work, remain interested in it, and give it a firm place in your minds and hearts. Devote your prayers and help to this grand hand of missionary priests who are sacrificing their lives to bring the heathen to the light of Catholic Faith." DR. MAGUIRE'S DISCOURSE AND
APPEAL
The Rev. Dr. Maguire, speaking from the pulpit, desired in the first place to thank most heartily his Grace the Archbishop for affording him that chance of putting the needs of China before his people, the people of the He also wished to reArchdiocese. turn sincere thanks to the Archbishop for the gracious remarks spoken on the
previous Sunday concerning the Irish Missionaries in China, and in a very princely special manner for his lead of £50 towards the Mission Bund. "It would be asked," continued Dr. Maguire, "why young priests and Sisters and Brothers were leaving homes in Ireland, in America, in Australia, to What right had China go to China? to their services so long as they were The answer is supneeded at home? plied this morning, not by me, nor even by his Grace the Archbishop, but

It is idle. therefore, to argue that so long as our own country needs our services no foreign country has any right to them. Our Divine Lord has said the other thing, and that ends-or should end-the matter for His followers everywhere. Population. The Missionary proceeded to explain the meaning of population as the term If every man applied to China. woman, and child in the whole world were lined up, every fourth person would be a Chinese. They were one quarter of the population of the globe Every fourth baby born into the world was a Chinese baby, with its yellow skin, almond eyes, and black hair "Australia was empty," he said. "The chief city in our provinces in China Han. Yang, is as large as Melbourne but 40,000 people live in stationary boats on the river because there is no room for them on the land." The Christians. "The fatal population of China is How many of these are 450,000,000. Alas! only one person Christians? in every two hundred. The other one hundred and ninety-nine still worship pagan idols, still adore at pagan stars. And yet our Divine Lord shed His Precious Blood for them as well as for you and me. Isn't it about time we told them so?" Dr. Maguire then recunted the events which led to the founding of the Irish Mission to China, and concluded with a strong appeal for prayers and financial support. Subscriptions totalling £95 were received by him at the Masses and the evening devotions. DR. MAGUIRE LECTURES AT
EVENING DEVOTIONS. At the evening devotions at the Cathedral, Dr. Wagure delivered the following entertaining lecture: "This evening I propose to say as much about pagan China as I can within the limits of the time at my disposal, stressing a few considerations that will help you to understand why missionaries from every country are making such a drive on China just
