A CATHOLIC MISSION Down on Long laland last week we met a non-Catholic family that reads a Catholic paper weekly. The ener¬ getic young Catholic pastor brought us there. He spent his time urging them to come to the mission that was going on, and evidently had succeeded. A mission at a "mission station" in the country is at least interesting.

Few of the thousands of motorists on the Merrick Hoad, who pass this hum¬ ble chapel each day, would suspect its very existence.

Bringing home Go(jf|j great truths to the minds of this isolated colony is heroic and salutary. The sjiarks of faith aro k^pt ut a glow >uid seeds of pi-.ty are planted that will blossom into full grown flowers of religion in the presence of a perma¬ nent pastor in the regions of Seaford. It is needless for us to say anythinfe about the home mission at Bellmore. In two short y^-ars the church and the paator have become the leading insti- i tutiofi and the leading citizens of the I community. If the Protestants of I thiit town continue to worship at the I siirino ot Father King, there is gtfing I to be a revolution in Iheir own church les. "I jiist can't keep them out of this church and rectory." All of v.'hich beautifully testifies to- the wholeson.e influence of a good priest, anxious for the salvation of the souls of his people and ready to spend and be spent for the cause of Christ.

While this is entirely a secret fra¬ ternal organization, the plan to hold the State Convention in Freeport, where heretofore it has only been held in large cities, is of public import¬ ance, for the success or failure of thia .vention will   do  much  toward de
