developed mission consciousness with the foundation ofMaryknoll.The opportunities of the missionary vocation,itschallenges and demands,have appealed to the enthusiasm,gener-osity,ingenuity and latent heroism of American youth.It is noaccident that while the work of many active religious congregationsin America is jeopardized by the shortage of vocations,Maryknollnovitiates—both for men and women—must constantly expand.Going off to the missions is not only in keeping with the traditionalpioneer streak in the American character,but it is also in line withthe contemporary world situation.A dying out of isolationismon the natural level is paralleled on the supernatural level by re-newed emphasis on the doctrine of the Mystical Body of Christ.  \nIn this issue on the missions we are intent on stressing twopoints:the first is the importance of realizing the vocation of thelayman to the mission field;the second is the absolute necessity,if missionary effort is to succeed,for Catholics to change theirattitude toward the missions,and toward missionary countries.  \nLet us look at this latter point.While it is a fact that sincethe beginning of the Church the missionary spirit has been recog-nized as being intrinsic to the spirit of Christianity,the attempts toenkindle this spirit have varied according to time and place and thementality of the Christians concerned.It is no wonder then thatwhen the tide of European imperialism was at its height,mixed inwith impulses of genuine religion was a great deal of \"pity thepoor native”appeal.The devout Catholics who supported themissions,as well as the missionaries themselves,seemingly neverquestioned that the natives would be thrice-blessed:with Chris-tianity,Western civilization,and the English(or Portuguese orFrench—as the case might be)language!  \nNow that we have entered a new period of history it is notsurprising that mission appeal has taken a new tack.In keepingwith the national role of America as world benefactor,AmericanCatholics see themselves as shouldering the financial burden forthe missions throughout the world.And they see themselves asa consequence only in this role of benefactor.The faithful thinkof their duty toward the missions almost exclusively in financial  \nterms.Too often those who appeal for their support fall tooreadily into the customary ways of loosening American purse-strings;they play upon sentimentality,portray the inhabitants ofmission areas as being in a woefully pathetic condition(whichthey frequently are),and in a savage state(which they frequentlyare not).Probably,of course,financial support wouldn’t be asreadily forthcoming if it were let on to some readers of missionmagazines that many of the natives in missionary countries surpassthemselves in culture and civilization!Millions to convert a manwith a ring in his nose or a lady in a grass skirt,but who gives acent for a cultivated Indian?  \nThinking of the missions purely in financial terms
