THE LEPER PRIEST.
An Instance of Self-DevOtion Unparallele,
in Modern HisforY.

An Instance of Self-DevOtion Unparalleled
in Modern History.
All will admit that the element of unself-
lshness must enter into the supremest in
stances of heroism, and, further, that the
act must be spontaneous, the result of
individual volition. The heroism which is
nurtured by the love of glory or fame is
manifestly on lower plane than that which
springs from the impulse of benevolent re-
gard for others, and, in the wish to save or
help, tramples upon the powerful instinct
by which we cling to life.
can not think of any story Of deliberate
courage which rivals that of the leper
priest Of Molokai, writes a Philadelphia
Press correspondent His story has been
told recently in the public press, and is
known, doubtless, to many readers. The
facts are briefly these. The Hawaiian
Government banishes all lepers to the
small island of Molokai. The lepers are
the sole population One may conceive the
wretchedness and gloom of life in a COM
munity deprived of all that makes life worth
living; removed forever from kindred and
friends; victims of an incurable and loath-
some disease; the prey of melancholy and
despair.
The Roman Catholic Bishop of Honolulu,
at gathering of his clergy in 1873, ex-
PIcSSeO MS regret JnaJ ne COulQ SEND no one
to these afflicted people with the consola-
tons of religion aud the sacred offices of the
church.
Forthwith from one valiant soul in that
assembly there came the response, like that
OF the prophet of old: "Here am l, send mer'
"a young priest of thirty-three, Father
Damien, offered to become leper that he
might help relieve and console those unfort-
unates.
For thirteen years he lived and labored
among them, leading, directing and work
ing in all forms of skilled labor Is well as
in his specific Office of priest and spiritual
guide, and then a new tie bound him to his
flock; he became a leper even as they.
The calm, sheer courage of this act of
self devotion and unshrinking self-sacrifice
yields to few, if any, of the deeds of moral
heroism known to story. In our age, at any
rate, it stands alone and unparalleled.

The training of children in those matters
winch mark good-breeding should begin at
an early age. A boy 1--WE years old is none
too young to be taught to take OF his hat TO
lady, not to pass between people who are
talking together, to stand until ladies are
seated. All such things are acquired far
more easily by early drilling than they can
ever be afterwards. Indeed, it is question
able whether any one who has been brought
up without such training can ever acquire
that habitual courtesy which marks the true
