Holy Father Sends
Note Of Sympathy
To Flood Victims
LONDON—(NO— His Holiness
Pope Pius XII has sent a message
of sympathy through Bishop Fran
cis Grimshaw of Plymouth to the
victims of disastrous floods in the
North Devon coastal area around
Lynmouth.
Catholic societies and indivi
duals are supporting the national
relief fund for relatives of the 40
odd victims and the 1,000 people
whose homes were wrecked when
the River Lyn, following heavy
rain, burst its banks and swept
down from Exmoor tn wreck the
pretty little coastal resort.
The Universe, British Catholic
weekly, opened a relief fund of
its own.
Lynmouth. which was practically
laid waste by a sudden, 12 foot
high wall of water, has no Catholic
church, the 25 or so local Catholics
attending Mass at nearby Lynton.
None of the victims is known to
have been a Catholic.

ROME (NC) Diocesan stu
dents in major seminaries in Af
rica considerably outnumber na
tive priests Statistics released
here hy the Eides news agency
reveal that there are 1,494 stu
dents for the diocesan priesthood
in major seminaries in Africa and
only 1 254 native priests based on
1951 figures.
The proportion of major sem
inarians to Catholics in Africa, ac
cording to Fides, is one to every
10,000 This compares favorably
to 1952 statistics released by J.
Kenedv and Sons, showing the
same proportion of minor and
major seminarians to Catholics in
the United States.
Minor seminarians are students
taking high school and prepara
tory college training. Major sem
inarians are students of philosophy
and theology.
Fides breaks down the location
of the major seminarians, as foll
ows 64. nearly all of the Coptic
Rite, in Egypt, Eritrea and Etho
pia 86 in Algeria and Tunis under
the auspices of the Sacred Con
sistorial Congregation 101 in An
gola and Mozambique, Portuguese
Africa, and 1,243 in the rest of
Africa under the auspices of the
Sacred Congregation for the Pro
pagation of the Faith.
In addition, there are ahonf 150
African students attending major
seminaries in other parts of the
world, Eides says.
The survey notes that vocations
to the priesthood are particularly
plentiful in the territory around
the great African lakes In Tan
ganyika there is a major semin
arian foi every 4.000 Catholics
in Nyasaland nne for every 6,600
The least fruitful vocation area in
Madagascar where the proportion
is one Io 20.900 Catholics, Fides
says
The 1,254 native African priests
make up only 15 per cent of the
8.393 clergy serving Africa s 15
million atholics Eides says The
majority of the missionaries come
from Fiance which supplies 1,800
or 21.5 per cent of the total Next
comes Belgium with 1.583 miss
ionaries. Holland with 916. and
Ireland with 807. Canada is eighth
with 282 missionaries and the
United States tenth with 134 mjss
ionaries in Africa
The most generous contributions

HOLY HEARTS—HOW TRUE!
Nebek is a little town off the beaten track. How many times we have
traveled the historic road north from Damascus and have looked at it*
far off in the desert. It was not Important to ua then, but it ia very Im
portant now.
THEY LOOK PUZZLED,
don’t they? But they are happy.
Even though 4y a strange provi
dence they were left on the
doorstep of our foundling hos
pital of the Sisters of Charity
and know not father or mother,
they are God’s children. For
them and for many like them,
we must ra.se $10 monthly.
Won’t you make them stay
happy? Feeding and clothing
them is the job of Mother
Church, and Our Lady will pay
you the rich dividends to which
you have such s right, because
of your charity. Please help us
to relp them. God will love
you for it.
YOUR DOLLAR A MONTH MEANS—
Why not Join one of our dollar-a-month elubs? Dollar added to
dollar really does God’s work. All the dollars during September de
posited in MARY’S BANK for nuns will go to those dear Immaculate
Conception Sisters in Baghdad. lrsq***Dollar* for ORPHANS BREAD

And those dollars for eha pel furnishings, given to the MONICA GUILD,

St. Augustine in Florida has that proud boast. But we are pleading
for the dowry of one of our youngest Near East Sisters, Sister St.
Augustine. She u a novice with the Sister* of St. Joseph at Dharma
giri, India, and she asks us to beg some kind friend to make her an
adopted daughter in Christ. For her two years’ novitiate, she will need
$300. She is willing to wait for this on the installment plan over these
two years. Can you help her? Her life as a sister will be spent with
our sick poor and our lepers. Yours will be a rich reward.
ANTHONY AS (I?) A WONDER WORKER
In Just two years. Anthony, a seminarian at Karmsaddc. Tripoli,
Lebanon, will ascend the altar, God willing. He is not rich in the
world’* goods, but hr will poaaesa a power divine. Would It not be a
proud boast for you, on Judgment Day. to tell God that you have
made hla priesthood possible? The rest of his count will eost just
$200. SL Anthony was s wonder worker, hut every priest Is one. He
alone, among men. can offer God to God. Won’t you help this Anthony?
