The movement, though of comparatively recent foundation, has grown amazingly and it now numbers over 70.000 active workers. The good that it has accomplished is incalculable. Indeed, if its progress of the past is any criterion, then the Catholic Students’ Mission Crusade is assuredly Marion Batson, destined to play a major role in the forwarding of Cath- Presidcnt olic missionary work throughout the world.

THE JUNIOR SODALITY The Junior Sodality of 1922-23, under the able directorship' of Father F. W. Benoit, S. J.. has established a reputation not only by the exemplary piety, and conduct of its members, but also by the spirit with which they entered into every activity. Its members, making up in energy what they lacked in size, led the field in mission work. To them was allotted the task of caring for the Grotto.
