Richards wonders if the St. Michael's Association for the aid of the Indian Missions is becoming indifferent and is losing its zealousness. The pledges of money and prayers which McMaster prints in his columns are becoming more infrequent and meager, even though the Indian Missions are badly in need of support. The people should not grow cold in such an endeavor because their prayers for the Indians, many of whom are of their own faith, have already begun to be answered. The public mind has never been aroused to the importance of this question as it is now aroused and pressure is being put on government officials in Washington, D.C. so that they feel compelled to take efficient measures in favor of justice to the Indians. God is especially pleased with the united prayers of his people since the unprecedented favoring of the Indians recently manifested in the country is due to the prayers of thousands of the faithful. Even though promises have been made, proclamations have issued and relief measures initiated, the work is still not accomplished because the tremendous lobbying powers in Washington will not give up their rich pickings and stealings from the Indian agencies without a desperate struggle. The intentions of the President and the Heads of the Interior Department might be entirely good, but experience shows that these leaders may become lax and allow matters to continue unchanged unless there is constant pressure from the public. The only way to continue the endeavors for the poor Indians is by the means of prayer since prayer moves the hand that moves the world, and in due time that hand shall deliver the Indians. Richards has signed this foregoing section "Justice" and sends it to McMaster for publication in the Freeman's Journal. An urging of this type should appear at the present time since it may be instrumental in leading the people to pray for the relief of the Indians. If the Catholic people rise above their stupifying and indifferent surroundings and place their faith in God, things would be in a much different state of affairs.
