o_o—o—o—n—o—o—o—o—e—o
Q. — If venial sins may be
forgiven without the Sacrament,
why should we confess them?
A. — We do not confes* sins
only that we may receive absolu-
tion for them. We wish to
obtain a restoration or an in-
crease of santifying grace and a
help to lead a more holy life. By
knowing our venial sine along
'with those of mortal nature the
. irie.il i* more able to judge our
guilt and give advice for our
future conduct.
Q. — Ia there any Religious
brotherhood that works among
men prisoners in this country?
A. — No. In some cities mem-
uerr of the Vincentian* visit the
prisons to help the chaplain in
his work . An organisation of
Religious devoted solely to such
work would not be feasible in the
United States.
Q — Since most of you, Ca-
tholics, do not understand what
the priest is doing and saying at
the Mass, why are you there ev-
ary Sunday?
A. — It is mot praiseworthy
'.hat many Catholics do not ful-
ly understand every part of the
Holy Sacrifice; but the object of
assisting at the Mass is not to
scrutinize and probably in a med-
dlesome way critjze the actions
and words of the priest. The Ca-
tholic is piesent at the Mass to
take himself apart from the world
chat he may more piously remem-
ber the Passion of Christ, to
more solemnly worship the Di-
vine Majesty, to assist at the
most acceptable thanksgiving to
God (Euchaiist) and the most pow-
erful means to move God to show
indrey to us in the forgiveness of
our sins (propitiatory), and as a
most effectual wa'y to obtain of
Gvi all that we need, through
Christ.
Q. — Ia St. Aaae more power-
ful than other saints?
A. — The Saints, being cfca-
fcures, of themselves have no pow-
er. But being friends of God and
'n Hi* visible presence, their1 in-
tercession in our behalf is par-
ticularly effective. Men pre-

Everyone i3 allowed to believe as he wants to.
There may be, of course, a few things, like limit-
ing the priests to one for every J00 thousand population;
the rules against divine services without a special license;
the people killed for protecting their churches, etc.
But these are evidently items of minor importance.
The principal thing is — there is no persecution!
And as a further proof of that, the Mexican gov-
ernment hastens to assure tho American clergymen who
would wish to attend the Rotary and other conventions to
be held in Mexico* City this year, that they will not be
stopped at the borders.
Of course, they should not show their “Roman col-
lar” and hold no services without specific permission from
the political authorities.
As visitors and guests of Mexico, they must not
be known as Christian clergymen.
Outside of that — again no religious persecution
in Mexico.
And evidently only to furnish a new proof of reli-
gious freedom in that country, “on Feb. 12, Lincoln’s
Birthday, President Cardenas decreed that hereafter re-
ligious literature may not be carried thru the mails, even
if it comes from the United States,” as America informs.
“Moreover, no correspondence at all containing or
“implying the propaganda of any religious doctrine” may
bj sent, and if it is, and it is written within Mexico, it
will be sent to headquarters “for the treatment it merits"
if it conies from without, it will be returned to the United
States postal authorities.”
“--pow no Mexican Catholic can receive even
p. • religious book from abioad, nor can he send it to a
friend within Mexico. Even the time-honored subscrip-
tion of letters from priests or Religious, “Yours sincere-
ly in Ghrist,” to be logical, implies the propaganda of a
religious doctrine, the indwelling of Christ in His Faith-
ful. Our government may carry such a letter to the
Mexican border; but some official will be there to read
it, and hand it back to Uncle Sam, because it “‘is improp-
er for the Mexican Government to allow it (the post
office) to be used for the transmission of ideas contrary
to the national culture.”
This, of course, should not be construed as a reli-
gious persecution of any kind.
Yet all that is entirely natural in Mexico, just like
in Russia. The radicals are simply carrying out their
program.
First, the religion — then, the property.
The country may be 90 per cent Catholic, but the
small minority of radicals who actually rule, are not.
In this country we had better not be too critical of
Mexican Catholics who allowed tlte runuiiiona to reach
this state of affairs.
Such conditions are born only in ignorance and in-
difference of the people who have to suffer for it after-
wards.
Just look around and see whether or not you would
not find plenty of just that kind of ignorance and indif-
ference among our own Catholics for which Mexico ig suf-
fering today?
Less than half-of the Catholic families in this
State are taking any kind of Catholic paper.
DISCOVERED
ORIGINAL
FOUNDATION
OF MISSION
Sun. Santonio, Texas, Feb. 26.
—(Special) — It is announce.1
that workmen engaged in rest-
oring the old San Jose Mission
hero to its original form, have
discovered the first foundation o.f
the ancient mission. References
to this first mission, which ante-
dated the one at present being re-
sided, were found by Harvey F,
Smith, architect in charge of the
work, at the Franciscan College
of Zacatecosi in Mexico, By fol-
lowing instructions in these re-
cords, the foundations of the ori-
ginal mission, long forgotten ,
were located.
The first church of San Jose,
roseatches have revealed, was
begun in 1720 under direction of
Fra Antonio Margil and comput-
ed in 1781. It was the found-
ations of this that have been die
closed.
To celebrate the completion of
this mission, three other churches
were founded nearby. They were
Purisima Conception, San Ftancis
co de I’Estrado and the San Juan
Capistrane.
‘‘But the evidence”, Dr. Smith
explains, “thut the Padres of the
first church became jealous of
the new structures. When the
friars of San Jose saw the fine
mission of Purisima Conception,
completed in 1752, they decided
to tear down their own church
and to build another.
“The new mission was to be
the finest in the New World. Juan
Huisar, one of the most expert
workmen in stone in that age,
was engaged for the task. The
building he created was referred
to in old manuscripts as "the
pearl of all the missions in New
Spain.”

Senator Gore would probably accept the two-bale exemption but
he thinks the three bale exemption is belter, The administra-
tion think* the two-bale exemption is better but would probably
accept the thres-hsle exemption. A stirring struggle portends.
This strikes us as an exasperating example of petty quibbling.
The two-bale exemption would involve about 700,000 bales of the
10,500,000 bales prescribed by the Bankhead law — or less than
7 per cent. Just how many bales the three-bale exemption
would involve is not known, but they wouldn’t amount to appreci-
ably more, and it doesn’t make any difference, anyway. What
does make a difference is the irony with which our austere Con-
gressmen are gingerly suggesting a proposal to apply to a small
fraction of the cotton crop which should apply to the whole,
be The two-bale exemption should be allowed, of course. So should
the three-bale exemption. In fact, there should be no processing
tax on any bale. The Bankhead law has heavily curtailed crops
without bringing compensation in price, has driven thousands from
their farm homes to the refuge of relief rolls, has made American
cotton so dear that substitute fibers are being widely cultivated
and export markets being handed over to our delighted foreign
competitors, and is leading to an impoverishment of the South al-
most too critical’to contemplate. What is plainly needed is
relief from trade barriers so that n normal crop of cotton cari| be
produced again at normal prices.
We wish the administration and Senator Gore could have theii
little tiff over something about the cotton situation that really
mattered.

stipulated: That Gen. Cos and his officers witli their arms and
