r intended to be
divisions of brotherhood. In places where we are well established we
are inclined to look upon Christian brotherhood in an abstract way. In
the West they feel it as a necessity of Catholic life, not only as a
source of financial help, but as brotherhood in sympathy, interest, and
mutual helpfulness. The West can help the East by its growing
influence, and Catholics in the West can do their part in defence of
Catholic ideals and Catholic institutions. The more we do for them the
more they can do for us. Father Daly describes the Call of the West,
and it is fittingly through Catholic Extension that the call is now
made and will be answered."

editorial notes the following remarks on this suggestion of ours:

A "DESK-POLICY" OF APOSTLESHIP

The Catholic Church in Canada possesses a Home Missionary problem of
the extent of which we can scarcely form an idea. In making his appeal
from the West to the East of the vast Dominion, Father Daly, C.S.S.R.,
who has just issued a pamphlet on the subject through the Church
Extension Press, Toronto, brings out some salient truths on the subject
of co-operation and organization which Catholics all the world over can
well take to heart and apply to themselves. "Two conditions (he says)
made united action possible--uniform plan and authoritative leadership.
To readjust our methods to conditions as we find them means efficiency
with the least waste of energy, and acting on this principle Father
Daly advocates a 'survey' of membership and conditions of the Catholic
Church in unorganized districts as the one means of getting at lapsed
Catholics. 'Too often,' he observes, 'we are waiting for the fallen
away to come to us.' This is true indeed. Protestant proselytizers in
the west of Canada have the whole 'survey' scheme worked out on a
scientific basis. Father Daly is more willing to learn from them. "I
am a firm believer," he writes, "in what I would call the
Catholicization of modern methods that have proved beneficial in any
cause." The problem of unorganized districts and of a scattered
Catholic population in our own case is, of course, minute compared with
that of Canada; but it is there, and sufficiently in evidence to
justify the Redemptorist Father's "desk-policy of apostleship." There
is no reason, in short, why the interorganization of the members of the
most perfect organization in
