o more trace the ways of God than we can forecast the ways of the
wind. Therefore the greater our activities are, the greater should be
the supernatural force behind them. Prayer, constant and fervent
prayer, for the conversion of our separated brethren should be ever on
our lips and in our hearts. Yet, strange thing! We hardly ever hear
of public prayers and masses said for this great work. If our desires
were more real, should they not find expression here and there in some
public form of prayer.

We should close this chapter with the instructive and inviting example
that comes to us from our Catholic brethren in Protestant England. A
wonderful Catholic campaign is now on through Scotland and England.
Various societies have grouped the active Catholic laity into various
units, with the one great object in view, to give back to England the
faith she has been robbed of centuries ago.

The "Catholic Truth Society" stands in the background as the heavy
artillery that has been firing at long range at positions the enemies
are gradually leaving. For the last thirty years it has been breaking
the way to victory. "The Catholic Evidence Guild" and "Social Guild,"
like the light cavalry are reconnoitering the lines and positions. The
"Motor Chapel" and "The Bexhill Library"--that Catholic Post-Library,
with its 16,000 volumes--are what we call the flying corps of this
great Catholic army. And while the various militant units are pushing
forward their lines, the members of "Our Lady of Ransom's League" are
praying on the mountain with up-lifted hands for the conversion of
their Country.

The Catholics of the United States are following suit. The Paulist
Fathers with their missions to non-Catholics, their press and "Catholic
Missionary Union," devoted to the conversion of America, have
undoubtedly done splendid work. The Catholic laity have also been most
active under the auspices of the Knights of Columbus. MM. Goldstein
and Peter Collins, Dr. Walsh and Mrs. Avery are lecturing through the
country and have met with great success. This awakening of the
missionary spirit is one of the most healthy signs of the Catholicity
of the Church across the border. It is with reason that the Holy See
looks to America for the future wants of the Mission Field.

These examples of an apostolic awakening that come to us from countries
where religious conditions are very much the same as those that prevail
in Western Canada, ar
