DESCRIBEDBYEMINENTPROTESTANT.

TheRev.SuperintendentDibelius, oneofthemosteminentscholarsand leadersofGermanProtestantism (writesDr.FredericFunder,ofthe N.C.WC.staff),hasjustpublisheda bookinwhichhecommentswithalmoststartlingfranknessandunveiled admirationontheprogressmadeby theCatholicChurchinGermanysince thewar.

Dr.Dibelius,formerlywaschiefcourt preacherandvicepresidentofthe ProtestantlocalconsistoryofSaxony. Heisto-dayrecognisedasoneofthe highestdignitariesoftheProtestant churchinthecountry,andoneofthe ablestand'mostactivewriters.His presentbookisentitled"TheCentury oftheChurch."Followingaresome ofhiscommentsonCatholicprogress inGermany:

"Inthefirstplace,therevolutionand alltheeventsthatfolloweditgavethe CatholicChurchanuniquechanceto improveandstrengthenherposition inGermany. AllthattheCatholicminorityhadhithertofelttoberestrictionandslight,wasthrustaside atonestroke,bothinthelegislative andadministrativefields.Wholeministries,intheReichaswellasinthe severalstates,weredelivereduptoCatholicism.OneCatholicafteranother wasplacedintheleadingpostsofthe Reich.

"TheCatholicChurch,usingwealth fromcountrieswithundebasedcurren-* cies,wasabletoopenupanewepoch inGermanyofmissionarywork.Male andfemaleordersflockedintothe country andplacedthemselvesat thesideoftheCatholicparishclergy, whichwithoutthemalreadyhadbecomecomparativelymuchstronger thantheProtestant.

Inthe"Times"aproposthereorganisationoftheVaticanLibrary,there wasaspecialarticlebytheRev.Dr. Bickersteth,theLibrarian,onthe CanterburyLibrary.Thestory(says awriterina"Special"totheLondon "CatholicHerald")isfairlytypicalof theworkoftheCatholicChurchfor hundredsofyearsinbuildingupcentresoflearningandinstruction,and ofthesavageryandruthlessnesswith whichthesewereneglectedordestroyed'bytheso-called"Reformers."

WeobservethatDr.Bickersteth speaksofthearrivalofSt.Augustine inthiscountryas"theItalianMission,"sothattheHolyCatholicChurch whichwastheonlyChurchofthis countryfor1,500yearsorso,wasthe "ItalianMission"evenunderSt.Augustine,justasitwasafewyearsago, whenbeingassailedbytheGovernmentofficialwhothenoccupiedthe throneofSt.Augustine.
