Vaughn writer to thank McMaster for his publication of the Archbishop of Westminster's sermon on the occasion of the departure of the missioners, and to thank him for a previous reference to their work. He deeply appreciates the great mission of the Catholic Press and is gratified to find the American journals on the whole have favorably noticed the mission which he represents. He was amused by the description of their undertaking by some as "the conversion by London of the negroes of America", as though London as such had a pretention to any so holy a mission. St. Joseph's Society for Foreigh Missions is purely Catholic, and was originally suggested by a "venerable Servant of God" whose process of beatification is going on in Rome. The Irish Catholics of California founded its first burses and the missioners are natives of England, Ireland, Germany, France and Holland. Any local idea in the work is that of enlisting the English speaking races of the world into the purely apostolic bond of the Church. This can be done by the missioners giving themselves and others giving of their substance so that the vocations which are going to waste may saved and utilized. He would like to visit McMaster when he is in New York, and will send him a pamphlet on their duty to the heathen and an appeal he is just publishing, together with a letter from Archbishop Martin John Spalding of Baltimore. :: I-1-o A.L.S. 4pp. 8vo.
