faithful and devoted work on behalf
of the Mayor. The hospital has debt
of $15O,OO0 and otherwise is in urgent
need of financial help.
Since there is no legal way Of ap-
propriating city money for defraying
the Mayors expenses except by spec.

that course, it is plain, would be en-
barassing to the mayor, and there was
also the possibility that there might
be public objection to it, the plan to

sojourn there. He sent them a check

No Man 10 An Absolute Failure.

All of US at times are afflicted mere
or less with the feeling that we have
accomplished much less in the world
than we might have accomplished
had We tried harder We have done
nothing to attract the attention IF
mankind; we are filling, day by dag,
positions as humble as they are ap-
parently unimportant; We have looked
constantly, daily, hourly, for some
great work or noble opportunity for
brilliant service, and it has not come;
We feel that We are almost failures.
And yet, If we have not attracted the
attention of the world, we have at
least, by our care in doing our duty,
led the man who has the desk next
to US to do his, when otherwise lie
would probably have failed. Our po-
sitions may be humble, but in then
We are like pieces Of the mechanism
of . great machine. II We were not
there and did not do our part, then
the work Of the machine would be i'm
perfect. No man need be termed an
absolute failure this side Of the
grave. ''.1

SOME EXPERIENCES
Just Where a "Powfui" Preacher IL
Desired,

The Benedictine monks in the st.
Augustine Diocese, have, including
missions and stations, fifty-two places
to visit, among them Brookville,
which has pretty chapel built by
the Catholic Chuch Extension Soci,
ETY.. The missionaries have many
amusing experiences, especially
among the colored portion OF their
flock.
Father James has probably had
the most interesting experience as a
missionary" writes Father Michael.
Among the colored brethren he
stands high. Many name their little
ones after him. Those that they may
not call James, they call .lenlima
He is powerful in wori and daoci
among these people, and hence their
admiration for him. He sut.iny has
the. power OF the Lawd,' remarked AL
old sugar cane darkcy recently, ami
he suttiny knows how to circu1nvvnt
the Gospel -a -"
Some years ago the darkies OF a
neighbOring settlement sent to the
monastery for ''proachcr." Their
regular minister had been imprisoned
for few days before that for a petit
larceny. OF course they wanted Fa-
ther James. But as the good man was
away in a neighboring village hap
thing dusly triplets, the Father Alb.
bot promised to go.
''The meeting was held in an old
stable; trunk set on end served for
the pulpit, and huge Bible, King
James edition, was handed to his
Lordship. Opening the book his eyes
fell on the text: What shall it profit
man if he gain the whole world
and suffer the loss of his own soul.
From this he proceeded at once to
draw most salutary lessons. He was
frequently interrupted by such ex-
CARNATIONS as these: OATS so,
Praise be de Lawd.'
after the meeting was over he an
preached the darkey who seemed ro
be the patriarch Of the settlement,
and said: We'll, Uncle Charlie, I'm
coming out again next Sunday. VIVA,
shall preach about then? Rubbing
his woolly head, he answered: We'll,

THE Y. M. G. A.
And the Attitude Which Catholics
Should Take Toward II,


Should Take Toward It,.
For those who are ignorant of the
fact the information that Catholics
can neither hold office nor vote for
officers in the y. NJ. G.. A. may be
interesting. The following from the
pen of Father Hudson, editor of the
Ave Maria, will throw further light
on the attitude which Catholics should
take toward that organizations:
From time to time we have called
attention in these columns to the
Young Mems Christian Association;
and have emphasized our opinion that
while the organization may be. and
we doubt not il, an excellent one for
Protestants, 1t is also a good society
for Catholic young mon to keep out
OF. A secular journal says of the as
association: 1t does not seek to take
the place Of the Church, but it is an
excellent handmade and proves a
most valuable helpmate.' The Pro.
testant Church, or collection of
churches, IL, of course, meant in this
statement; and in just SO far as the
I. N. G. A. is handmade and help.
mate OF Professionalism, it is more or
less direct and consistently earnest
antagonist Of the Catholic religion.
The mere fact that Catholic members
Of the society are debarred from the
privilege Of voting, and the easily as
certained truth that anti.Catholic lit
srature is abundantly in evidence in
Y. M. c. A. reading rooms, should de.
ter a young Catholic with any per-
ceptible amount of sef-respect and
religious loyalty from joining the Or
sanization; and, let it be said Incl
dentally, should also deter prominent
Catholics from giving this decidedly
sectarian society their financial or
moral support"

The Irish substance that has been
woven into the fabric of this nation
from the very beginning has played
an important part, for to 1t We owe
much of the cheerfulness, spriShtli-

possess as a people. Best of all per-
haps is that tenderness Of sympathy
which responds instantly to An ap-

volcanic wrath under oppression.

In order to keep representative men
in Parliament they must be supported
and for that support the Irish pee

which brings the Irish ENJOYS to cur

dream and hope Of generations who
pray for restoration TO the dignity Of
