FATHER MAXINE
AND The LEPERS
November II, 1000.

Can you give me any information
about Father Maxine, the "leper
priest of the Hawaiian Islands, whose
church was recently burned? What is
his nationality? T. 0. d.
Rev. Maxine Andre has been mis-
sionarv in the Hawaiian Islands for
seventeen wears For fourteen years
he was connected with the station of
HiIo. on the Island of Hawaii. In the
lrper colony at Molokai, made famous
bv Father Damien in 1889, there are
two villages, kalaXao and kalaupapa.
II is in the latter village that Father
Andre Is stationed, living with the
lepers. ministering to their spiritual
wants and doing all that IS possible
to make life plcasanter for these I'M
fortunate beings Father Andre IS
memfer of the Congregation OF the
Sacred Heart OF Picpus, an order which
was founded in 1917. and which has
Headquarters in Paris. We have been
unable to learn much about the mis-
sionarv himself, as he is modest and
does not care 10 give details of his
career. but soon after he went to IA
l4upapa he wrote some account of his
work in letter to mis- superior general,
which was published in Il magazine tor
missions. and from this letter the fol
lowing extracts are taken.
The Ieper colony at Molokai is, as It
We're. little kingdom OF which the
resident j. ruler 1t comprises an eN-
tent Of territory two miles in length
and half d mile in width. Upon the
north il is hounded by the Pacific
Ocean; upon the south by a lofty noun

vanced stages of their disease are care
ful to avoid being seen. After time
one becomes accustomed to these dis
figurements and can look at them with
out repugnance. The lepers, though
they are afflicted to such degree, are
not wanting in good manners; they
thank YOU without effusion for any ser
vice you may do them. They rarely
complain, but, on the contrary, endure
their miserable lot with great resigna-
tiOn.
The ministry of the priest varies ac-
cording as he visits the very bad cases
in the hospitals or goes among those
people who are living isolated in their
own houses. There are two asylums
which have been built for the worst
cases. That for the men, called the
Baldwin Home. is in charge of the
brothers of our congregation; the one
for women, the Bishop Home, is under
the direction of franciscan sisters from
Syracuse, \. y. At Kalaupapa there
are. at the least. 80 huts for those
who live alone. The total number of
Iepers at the place is one thousand; the
colony at Kalawao contains seven hun
dred. For our own part we have no
fear of contracting leprOsy. However,
we do not neglect to observe the pre-
cautions which common prudence would
suggest and which our superiors strong
" advise. After we have come in
contact with a ieper we carefully wash
our hands Whenever lepers come to
speak to us they do not enter the
house, but remain upon tie veranda.
They themselves fully understand the
purpose of these measures and are care
fuI to observe them.
The opinion prevails to great ex-
tent that a leper colony is like great
charnel house and that its inhabitants
are always plunged in melancholy. The
truth is much different. All day long
sounds OF mirth may be heard. Our
epers amuse themselves like children,
.hatting. singing or running about: in
fact. they take their recreation like all
other people. They have no cares and
are not obliged to work. as the govern
ment furnishes them everything they
need.
In our little commonwealth public |
iuties are entrusted to the lepers. The !
Judge is a Ieper; so is the sheriff; the |
awver. the policeman. the school |
master. are all afflicted with the dis |
Ease. | must not forget to mention !

members of the community. The only |
persons in the COLONY who are not |
epers are the resident and the doctor; |
ought to add also the postmaster. |

That recent decision Of the United States su-
preme court relating to certain classes Of divorces Is
creating considerable CONSERVATION among some
people who have required two or more trials before
making a success Of matrimony. It must certainly
be embarrassing for a man to suddenly discover that
his family is not his family but belongs to an other
man who. in turn. is living in the blissful belief that
he is married to some woman who IS really another
mans wife.
"The decision y says the Chicago News, ~ecreates
an almost impossible situation in the affairs Of thou
san1s Of families TO which It applies. The nation
for many years has been Industriously preparing the
way. by its extraordinary tumble Of divorce laws,
for this stroke, by which domestic chsos has been
scattered broadcast.
"That many hundreds Of socalled divorces are
not divorces. that remarriages Of those who thought
they were divorced and are not are no marriages
at all and that children born to such remarked
persons are born out Of wedlock are conclusions
arrived at BY the court. In short, the decision in
~yalldates every divorce granted by a court which
aid not have Jurisdiction over both parties to the
suit. i
zone may well doubt whether all the Innocent
persons who are made to suffer by this decision will
ever be set right by Law In many instances diff
cult court proceedings or acts Of the legislature or
both viii be required to unrayel the tangles. AS fol
the future. one may hope that national divorce laws,
following the adoption Of a necessary amendment to
the constitution, viii be the outcome of the
supreme courts momentous decision"

The director Of the students observatory OF the
University CT California makes a report concerning
the sessmoeraphic record Of the shocks that destroy

greatest interest by scientists.
The non-expert in earth motions will notice that
the duration Of the first vibration was forty seconds,
then came a lull "a ten seconds, followed by another
violent disturbance lasting twerty-nve seconds. In
asnush as few persons could preserve the calmness
Of mind necessary to observe the exact duration Of

,~aisssier probably seemed to be one unbroken yibra-
ucn-it IS fortunate that the seismograrh has the
capacity to register regardless OF nerves or fears.
In the on-hand accounts given by persons who
we're awake wiz the shock began. the period Of
minutes; yet The actual time, including the interim
between the vibrations. was only one minute and a
qaartes.
The fact that the direction Of the movement was
from ssuih-southeast to north-northwest, and that
in this respect It agreed with all the other heaty
shocks felt in the same vicinity, is OF great import
ance as an indication for the future. Such a repeti-
ton shows that the causes that produced these
shocks were probably identical Coupled with a
careful study Of the geological status Of the territory
affected. this repetition will enable the experts to
form 4 theory concerning the action Of The earth that
may determine the area Of probable future dis
turbance.
one Of the most Interesting features Of this
earthquake is tie fact that, although so great a
movement in the eartk was caused at a point swept

the terrestrial vibration. -
