Meetings cf Ladies' Auxiliary.
(Special to the Southern Messenger;)
About four hundred delegates, in-
cluding four from Texas, were seated
ut the opening session of the La-
dies' Auxiliary to the A. O. H. on
July 2 0.
Miss Mary MacSwiney, of Cork.
Ireland, delivered an Inspiring ad-
dress to the delegates. She spoke
for two hours, giving a summary of
present day conditions in Ireland.
Her address was vociferously ap-
plauded,
'■There is a great deal of talk,”
she said, "about compromise, but we
' did not go through the crucifixion of
Brizton prison for dominion home
rule, but for the Irish Republic.
“American newspapers often talk
about Ireland Btbbhln& "England in
the back during the war. But look,
at what .the thirteen
■
Ington.
cade is the submarine,
use of hypocrisy?”
Miss MacSwincy told the dele-
gates that if the Irish-Americana in
this country really desired the com-
plete freedom of the Irish people in
Ireland, they could secure recogni-
tion of the Irish Republic over night.
She described her first , Interview
with President Harding, and said
that when an official interview w^s
sought she was informed she would
Catholics Are Handicapped.
Contrasted to the affluence and
apparently unlimited resources of
the evangelical churches, the Catho-
lic Mexican will find that the
Church of his faith has very little
Ihdeed tn a material way to oiler
him.
The problem of caring for his
Mexican population, making up be-
tween 40,000 and 50.000 in the city
atone, Is one of tile most serious
that confronts the lit. Rev. Antliony
I. Schuler, S. .1., Bishop of El Faso.
The diocese is a new one. erected
only five years ago, and as yet there
is much work to be done in organiz-
ing its scattered elements. Lack of
resources Is proving a decided handi-
cap. When contrasted with the
! seemingly limitless sums that other
oenomimitions are able to spend,
the situation looks gloomy, indeed.
“Tha chief need," deciares Bishop
Schuler, “is tor bo me kind of a com-
munity center where our Mexican
people can meet. The Mexicans are
for the most part a devout race.
They are supporting five churches,
five schools and one orphanage and
u day nursery. But they are very
poor. They are not able to contri-
bute much because they have not
much themselves. And the danger
to which their faith may be expos-
ed , whoa, being so poor themsel-
ves, they view the gratuities which
various El Paso Institutions are able
tn give them, Is very great.”
Mexican Catholics Fervent.
One has to attend early Moss any
morning at Sacred Heart Church to
i
and devotion of the Mexican. Catho-
lics. The eight of several hundred
women, clad in their black man-
tillas, approaching the altar rail to
receive the Holy Eucharist, and the
spectacle of scores of laborers, In
blue overalls, kneeling with arms
outstretched at the sound of the ele>
vat I on bell and miter Mass rising
end picking up their lunch baskets
to plod solemnly on to their day’s
‘ ') one that will remain fixed
long in the mind.
And It is among men and women
of this type that Protestantism is
concentrating its activities. Each
year at the annual conferences of
the- different evangelical churches, :
large sums are voted for work among'
the Mexicans. El Paso 1b t?.. ..'

that Protestants of fair minds are
resenting the scandalous abuse of
free press and high office by Sena-
tor Thomas E. Watson, of Georgia,
te furnished in an open tetter which
the Rev. Dp. John Durham Wing,
rector of Christ (Episcopal) Church
ot this city, beta written to a daily
newspaper here condemning Watson
and referring io Rt. Rev. Benjamin
J Kelley, of Savannah, as "dear old
Bishop Kelley, revered and loved
by thousands of his fellow citi-

Dr. Wing's tetter was published lu

viously reproduced from Senator
Watson’s Columbia Sentinel the lat-

is something else involved than an
outrageous attack upon the Roman

■ El Paso. Tex,, July 22.—Protest-
antism Is spending millions to win
the faith of Mexican Catholics tu El
Faso. The Baptist Church recently
voted 5300,909 for work here; the
Methodist fias voted ns much as
5500,909 at a single time.
E! Paso is the strategic center of
Protestant enterprise looking toward
Che religious domination of Mexico
and Centiiil America. The Mexican
coming into the United States has
tie sooner crossed the border line
than he sees evidence of the wealth
which Protestantism is ready to
spend to bring him within its fold.
The most imposing structure that
greets his eyes as he crosses the in-
ternational bridge is the "Sala Hos-
pitatarte,” International Y. W. C. A.,
a commodious three-story edifies
with its banner of welcome flutter-
ing to welcome the travel-stained
Mexican women, many of whom
make the journey to Loa Esiados
Unldos on foot.
But if the Y. W. C. A. looming up
so conspicuously by the Rio Grande,
gives the Mexican immigrant his first
indication of what organized Prot-
estantism is ready to offer in a ma-
terial way, he will not live in El
Paso many weeks before he will find
that the city is literally honeycomb-
ed with evangelical schools and
charitahlo institutions and ‘‘Mexi-
can" churches, all for his conven-
ience and comfort. He will And a
commodious Mexican Y. M. C. A. He
will be acquainted with the advan-
tages of the Lydia Patterson Memor-
ial, conducted by the Christian
Church and erected and maintained
at a cost of several hundred thous-
and dollars, chiefly tor the purpose
of preparing missionaries for Mexi-
can service. He will be made aware
ot the existence ot the Mitchell
Memorial, another evangelical enter-
prise that bespeaks the expenditure
of money In six figures. Ho will

It could clearly be inferred from
this that, there are Roman Catholic
institutions in existence in Savannah
where girls are held in vilest slav-
ery; that if officers of the law did
their sworn duty and inspected these

that tha Bishop of Savannah refuses
to recognize the authority of Amer-

tne greatest amcnscaae tion_.tol, the sdltor of tlle SentIuei
is far too shrewd to make direct
charges and thus become amenable
to the libel laws—-against the citi-
zens of Savannah and the public of-
ficials of Chatham County, of permit-
ting the most horrid evils to go on

checked, and unpunished.
Dear old Dr. Kelley, revered and
beloved by thousands of his fellow
citizens who are not mem hers of Ms
Church, needs no defense against
such malignant and absurd accusa-
tions, and hie dignified statement al-
ready made is sufficient answer from
bls standpoint. But what have the
people of Savannah and the public
officials of Chatham County to say
about them ? Savanuahtans know
they are malicious falsehoods; our
county authorities can establish the
fact that in no county in Georgia has
the Veasay net been more rigorously
enforced than in Chatham, . But the
outukte world may not bo so well

Is it too much ,o expect that our MnSo of the Blessed Sacrament cele-
people will arise to deny these foul ....
imputations and repudiate the slur
cast upon our public officials by-
God save the mark—the junior Sen-
ator from the State of Georgia?
I believe not; and, for one, retuse
to keep silent.
