Five of our major problems of the Mission world: One: The splitting oi the world into four distinct blocs: (a) The defnocratic nations under the United States; (b) The slave States under Russia. (c) The compromising States under the so-called "neutrality" of India. (d) The Moslem bloc made up of 375,000,000 Moslems. Two: China. During the last five years, the Chinese Communists have expelled 79 Bishops, 3,000 priests, 2,000 Sisters, 500 Brothers-all found guilty of the greatest of modern crimesBelief in God!

Three: The flight of 800,000 people from Northern Vietnam. where Communism reigns, to Southern Vietnam. Eighty per cent. of these refugees are without food, homes, land or work. With modern Herods loose, the angels whisper: "Take thy child and fly into Southern Vietnam." Four: Union of South Africa. Catholic schools are to be deprived of all aid for teaching that in. Christ there is neither Jew nor Gentile, black nor white; but that all are one in Jesus Christ.
