Tho lamented death of Monsignor
Hugh R. Benson recalls the circum-
stance* at hie ocmveralaB to the esth-
etic Church elevaa years ago. The
sou. of an Anglfasm Archbishep he was
educated ta the tenets of the Church
of England, studied for the ministry
and was ordained an Anglican minis-
ter tn 18»7. He labored most seulous-
ty in various fields, as teacher, curate,
and later as a member of one of the
Anglicu * religious communities,
somewhat similar to the Benedictines, I
but It appears he could not satisfy
himself that be was in the true Church
and hi* life was one continual worry.
The story of his final conversion to
the Catholic Church is a remarkable
recital. It shows the various states of
mind of a man of intelligence and
spirituality. The way he was accus-
tomed to epitomize the story is as fol-
fows:
"1 studied the Gospels, and through
them I was led to the conviction that
the Roman Catholic Church was the
Church of Christ. My studies result-
ed in the gathering of three Im pres-
sions;
"First—The Catholic Church Inter-
prets the Bible more simply than any
other church, and. surely, the wordx
of Christ on important points are
clear, if words mean anything at all.
I had heard that priests kept the
Bible away from their people, but as
I read I discovered that nothing could
be more foolish, and I could not con-
ceive of a priest so stupid as to do
such a thing, for it is in the Gospels
that I found the substantiation of the
Church.
"Second—I found that the Catholic
Church believed the Bible more than
those who claimed that it was the sole
rule of faith.
"Third—I found that the Catholic
Church fulfilled what Christ has said
of His Church, that it would be un-
popular, for it had ever been my ex--
jierience that In questions of contro-
versy ail others generally agreed to
disagree with Rome.
"Finally—I came to the laet argu-
ment that fixed my decision, and fin-
ished my struggle. Christ had spok-
the" principal’ri’tlcH of South Texas. « t0 St. Peter, telling him that He

every Catholic making the same pro-
test.
Mr. Wilson is responsible for his
appointee’s neglect in doing an act of “** Th^r
palpable justice to the Catholic* of
the U. S.; also he is, because of hl* at-
titude towards the rebels, in a great
measure responsible for the atrocities
that continue to be practiced against
the priests and Sisters in Mexico.
Would he permit for a moment such
treatment of Presbyterian preacher*
and deaconesses in Mexico, if appeal-
ed to by U. S. Presbyterians In their
behalf?
Mr. Wilson is aware that because
of the Monroe Doctrine other Chris-
tian nation* are prevented from tak-
ing active measures against the per-
Iietratora of these atrocities practiced
upon innocent and helpless priests
and Sisters, atrocities that are more
revolting than the barbarities of the
Turks against the Christians some
years ago, and against which the
Christian nations' took active mw'-
ures,

Two weeks ago we called attention
to a stirring appeal made by th* Cath-
olic Church Extension Society to the
Catholic* of America in behalf of the
persecuted priests and nuns of Mex-
xco. so many of whom have token re-
fuge among us. We are truly glad to
record that this excellent society did
not limit its zeal to mere words.
When the tacts of the persecution be-
came known in all their hldeousnees,
and the needs of the poor exiles were
exposed, active steps were promptly
taken to relieve the want and distress
of these sufferers tor conscience
sake.
The Bishop* of the border dioceses
had done all in their power to relieve
the Immediate and pressing necessi-
ties <>t the refugees, but the influx
continued, and it became evident
that the local measures of rellpt,
however generous, were quite inade-
quate to meet the emergency. The
officers of The Catholic Church Ex-
tension Society, to their infinite hon-
or be it said, came at once to the res-
cue. His Grace the Most Rev. James
E. Quigley, Archbishop of Chicago
and Chancellor of the society, com-
missioned the Very Rev. Francis C.
Kelley, D. D„ its President. Co visit
the border cities in Texas and else-
where—wherever the exiles bad tak-
en refuge—examine personally into
the condition of the refugees and ex-
tend necessary assistance. On this
errand of mercy, Father Kelley is
now actively engaged. He has visited
