CENTEKTAL OF THE SISTERS OF
CHARITY.

No event, has been so noticed re-
Gently by every church and institution
OF the Catholic faith as the one hum
dredth anniversary OF the founding
of the Sisters of Charity by Elizabeth
Ann Bayley Seton. known as Mother
Mary Seton. She took Mary for her
church name.
Little did that sanity woman know
when she set out into the wilds OF the
mountains OF Maryland and started
the first religious community for Cath
olic women In this country at Em-
mitsburg, on the advice Of Father
Dubourg, later Bignop OF Louisiana,
that today there would be five thou
sand sisters in the country, with thou
sands and thousands OF pArochiaT
school children under their care, to
rise up and call her blessed.
Her maiden name was Elizabeth
Bayley and her family were among
the best stock In these shores at the
time James Roosevelt Bayiey, first
Bishop OF Newark and later Arch
bishop OF Baltimore, was her nephew
Mgr. Robert Seton, now an Archbishop
In Rome, is her grandson.
The great difference between the
Sisters of Charity, as founded by
Mother Seton, and religious communi-
ties OF women IN the Old World, is
that they are active rather than con-
templatiye nuns. The sisters OF this
community do not take the vow Of
perpetual enclosure. Their great
work has made their name blessed
wherever pain and suffering Is known.
A Protestant. she after her hus-
bands death, became interested in the
Catholic religion. II was long strug-
gle. but finally Mrs. Seton renounced
honors. wealth. friendships and her
family and entered the Catholic church.
She opened school I'm New York, but
because she was a Catholic, was de-
prived OF pupils. NShe welcomed the
suggestion to go 10 Maryland and start
a religious community there. Two OF
her husbands sisters followed her and
became sisters.
Mother Seton lived to see the sue
cess OF her sisterhood. She died in
1921 at the age OF forty-seven. She
Is buried at Eminitsburg. where the
school which she founded in n small
log cabin. has today one Of the finest
groups Of buildings OF any In the
world

Chinese Dramatic crudltles.

Here is a sample of one of the

Ling, leading tragedian, playing the
part of the younger son. renders a
solo which means that the widow and
orphans are going to the temple to
celebrate funeral rites. The proper
ty man sets on the stage a little box
for an altar and throws over the
widows head a white veil, symbol of
mourning. Then HON Ling, as the
younger son. waves his hands and
kicks his foot like a man punting a
football. This signifies that the rest
of the family is out of his sphere OF
action. The scene has officially
changed from a house to a temple.
So, while the rest of the family kneels
before the altar, HON Ling strolls
over and chats with one of the mu-
sicians who happens to be resting
