THE MISSIONARIES CONSOLATION.

An Oblate Father, for many years
stationed in the remote sections OF
Northern Canada, writes feelingly
concerning the consolation of the
lonely missionary:
"The true consolation of the mis-
sioner is the Blessed Sacrament.
Alone, several thousand miles from
his own country, he must accustom
himself to confide his troubles to God.
AS for myself, I confess that I often
found the long nights so desolate that
l was inclined to run away. Then
would enter the tiny room in my hut
containing the Blessed Sacrament,
and speak audibly to God, often al
most arguing, You sent me here.
Give me strength, make my love firm
err Then God spoke and His Ian
guage was understood. The heart
throbbed, tears overlooked, and cour-
age for the long journeys to the Els
quimaux came back"

ST. JOSEPH'S BURSE.

An act of generosity that will bear
fruit long after the death of the
pious Pennsylvania lady who made
the gift, was the establishment of
st. Joseph's Burse. This good woman,
with no little sacrifice, gave a
donation of seven hundred dollars
to the Catholic Church Extension So
ciety, as the first payment to found
a Burse of five thousand dollars. When
the Burse reaches this amount the
interest of it will be used to educate
first one orphan then another to the
priesthood indefinitely. The interest
of five thousand dollars at five per
cent for one year will mean two hun
dred and fifty dollars, or the entire
amount required to pay the expenses
for one year of student studying for
the priesthood. Surely, when we stop
and think of how many good young
men there are in the United States
whose sole ambition and vocation in
life is to become priest, but who are
deprived of their sacred calling be-
cause of the lack of means, the more
do we realize the great good Burse
thus founded will accomplish.
1t is beautiful inspiration and we
trust that other generous people will
be moved to add to this gift, so that
it may soon reach five thousand dol
lars.
The Society is now educating
twenty-five young men for the priest
hood to serve in the missionary dis
tricts. There are immediate needs for
more priests to care for the rapidly
growing population of America.

ONE IN A THOUSAND.

She could hear her brother Jack
(who had arrived from the South the
evening before for his holidays) NOV
ing about upstairs and humming a tune
merrily to himself. It was heartrend-
ing to think that Jack would be there
to witness her humiliation and her
grief They all thought her so happy
at home.
Stumbling steps were heard without
on the street. Breathless, she ran to
the door. What if it were-oh, Danish
the thought! She looked out and saw
neighbor stumbling past on his way
home. She shuddered and drew back
while wave of pity for the stumbler's
patient wife flashed over her. And yet
people were talking about Maurice and
perhaps even now plying her. She al
most cried aloud in her agony.
She had been over to st. Jerome's
that afternoon, tomorrow saw the ter
mination of her nine Fridays-the
Nine Fridays she had commenced i'm
mediately after their marriage
Maurice's conversion. And with an
agony none could picture it all came
back to her-the handsome Ca
madam boy who had come to her
Southern home and wooed and won
her. Again she pictured Father Cum
mings' admonitions, and how long he
/ had held off before he would permit
the wedding to take place, for Maurice
was an alien to her faith. Mixed mar
riages were never happy-not one in
a thousand, so Father Cummings had
said-and she had expected hers to be
that one Poor little moth! Had she
like Molly Redmond, gone too near the
fame and singed her wings? Molly
] had been a schoolmate of hers, and
had likewise married Protestant. who
seemed in every way an equal to Mau
rice, and yet-everybody in Mobile
knew the story of Molly's unhappi
ness. Molly had also thought her case
was the lone in the thousand" but
a1asi it was one of the thousand. And
Elizabeth's?
A quick exclamation OF delight broke
in upon her
| "Oh. Bess, how jolly! What's the
feast for?"
It was Jacks voice. He had evident
ily tired of his Whistling and the delay
He turned her around sharply, LETTING
the light fall upon her face.

MEMORIAL CHAPELS.

Among the Memorial Chapels built
by the Catholic Church Extension So
ciety, through the generosity of one
of it's donors is one called st. Cath
crimes, which is located on the shores
of the Columbia River, where this
little church has proven a source of
incalculable blessing to the many
fishermen of different nationalities,
who are engaged in their work dur
ing the greater part of the year.
Without this church it would be i'm
possible to gather these people to-
gether or to administer to them in
any way. That the people appreciate
the chapel is manifest by the fact
that they have rejoiced in it's erec-
ton and have been induced to lead
better lives in consequence of the
more frequent visits of the priest,
made possible by the existence of
this little Memorial Chapel, given by
a man and his wife for the extension
of the Faith in this isolated mission
in the Diocese of Seattle.

ALASKAN FEAST OF THE DEAD

"a Feast of the Dead" observed
by the Alaska Indians is described
as follows by Father Perron, S. j.,
of Holy Cross station, Koserefsky, in
the current number of Catholic Mis-
sions" magazine.
Having cleared the snow from a
portion of the open space in front of
the village, the Indians inclosed the
ground with palisade about fifteen
feet high, which they proceeded to
adorn with many pelts, blankets, bows,
guns, toboggans, snowshoes, etc.
In the center of the inclosed place
was then erected a high pole, and
around this totem the people held
festival for six days the celebra-
ton consisting of singing, dancing,
feasting, narrating the legends and
traditions of the country, and eulo-
giving the chiefs and warriors who
had died during the year.
The treasures displayed on the
palisade were supposed to have been
the property of these deceased In
dams. The relatives of the latter,
on the last day of the festival, dis.
tributed the motely collection of
articles among the friends who had
assembled to commemorate the de-
parted, E..

SCHOOL PRAISED BY JAPANESE
SUB-PREFECT.

Father F. Lemarie, P. Y. NJ, writ
ing to us from Yatsushiro, in the did,
cese of Nagasaki, Japan, says:
Our school, which opened last year,
has given much satisfaction. The
sub-prefect has shown an active inter
est in it, and predicts for it great sue
cess. We, on our part, have but one
aim. Our motto is, as ever, For the
greater honor and glory of God
THE sub-prefect, who is the gov
ernor of this region, is constantly
showing his sympathy in our educa-
tional undertakings, and, better still,
a practical desire to aid us. For In
stance, the emperor's birthday, No
vember 8, is great public festival,
and there are always especial exer-
cises held in the schools in common.

the sub-prefect attended the exercises
in our school, and made an address
which was filled with expressions Of
encouragement to us and to our stu
dents.
I'm this country, the scholastic yea1
opens in April. We began with &
good number of pupils. and the sub
project has taken many opportunities
to recommend us as teachers.
ITO develop our work, however, we
need funds. We ought to erect {
building to serve as boarding school
for we have many applications from
boys who live at distance, and the
Faith is spread in Japan largely BY
the educational advantages We offel
to the people.
For this purpose, we need 1,50t
yen; that is, about $3.50; but 1 do no
know where to obtain the amount.

sionary's relatives are in comfortabl,

fervent missionary who labors inces-
sently to build up the Church in that
part of the country, and especially
to establish facilities for the Chris
tian education of the little ones.
Eastern Tennessee is particularly
noted for it's numerous sectarian edu-
cational Institutions, which are main
| ly supported by Northern funds.
Within the thirty-four counties COW
cred by the Eastern Tennessee mis-
sion field there are no less than thirty
such Institutions almost one to each
county.
Aside from the great need for
Chapels in this vast territory, is the
necessity for some central Catholic
School, conducted by Catholic Sis
terhood. In this entire district there
is not single Catholic School, with
the exception of parochial school
at Knoxville, and outside of that the
nearest school to the northwest is at
Nazareth, KY, and to the west at
Nashville, Tenn, -hundreds Of miles
away. Many of the children have
never seen a Nun. There are hun
dreds of children of Catholic ances-
try, whose forefathers left the Caro-
linas and Virginia in 1874 and located
in this present mission field. The
only hope of bringing these families
back to the Church is through the
establishment of Catholic Schools.
Should such school, as this jealous
missionary is pleading for, be estab-
lished, it would form center from
which could go forth, in the future,
Catholic girls to open schools in every
missionary chapel of the district.
The plan of Father Callahan tends
to utilize the various mission chapels
as little private schools to be taught
by these lay teachers and catechists.
One such school has been fourishing
for the last six years. A young ma
tive born lady has been realously
conducting this school with the best
results in the Chuckey Valley dis
trict
Father Ledvina says that the zeal
of the hard working priest in charge
of this territory is truly apostolic,
and he works cheerfully and patient
ly for the good of the people. always
trusting to Divine Providence for the
strength with which to combat the
great odds against him.
The Reverend Fathers report is
now being prepared. Without doubt
it will be extremely interesting, and
we look forward with pleasure to
it's publication The Church Exten-
sion Society has adopted the policy
of sending it's officers out to study
the home mission fields personally.
Father Ledvina has already reported
on Southern Texas. Another priest
from the Society is now in the West
The Canadian Society has had two
of it's officers go through the Ruthen-
ian county in the Canadian North
west with splendid results. On the
strength of their report, the First
Plenary Council of Canada appropri-
ated 100000 to the Ruthenian Mis-
sion work.

CHILD WORKERS OF cEYLoN.

Jaffna peninsula in the northern
part of Ceylon, has an arid soil,
owing to the absence of rivers in the
district and the long periods of
drought. The chief product of the
region is tobacco, in the cultivation
of which almost all the people are
employed and thereby gain a mea.
gre livelihood.
This tobacco, although inferior in
quality to the species grown in Ma.
Mia and Java, is, nevertheless, high.
ly esteemed. Some of it is sent to
Southern India, but the largest
proportion of the crop is used in
the manufacture of the famous Jaff
ma cigars, smoked in large quantities
by the Cingalese, both men and
women.
A million and half of cigars are
made daily in Jaffna and it's neigh
borhoods. They are all manufac
tured by hand, and are the work
of the children and young people
A skillful little worker can turn out
seven hundred and fifty cigars in g
day. For this labor he is paid eight
annas, or about fifteen cents.
Many of the young cigarmakers
are Catholics, but the majority are
pagans.

A Good Way.

One of the most effective ways of
helping the missions is to join the
Society of the Propagation of the
Faith. If you are already a member
become a promoter; if a promoter
get up a. double band. You will
soon be astonished to see how much
you can accomplish toward assisting
in the evangelization of the poor
pagans who have not yet had the
Gospel preached to them and God
will reward you a thousand fold.

THE MISSIONS OF TENNESSEE

The Rev. E. B. Ledvina, Vice Pres
ident and General Secretary of The
Catholic Church Extension Society
has just returned from a trip through
the mountainous mission field of
Eastern Tennessee, where he went at
the request of the Board of Govern
ors of the Society to observe the mis-
sionary needs of this district, in or
der that the Society might distribute
the recent appropriation made by its
Board in the most satisfactory man
ner.
His Lordship, the Bishop of Nash
vile, received Father Ledvina most
cordially, and at the special invita-
ton of Dean Tobin, he gave talk on
the work of the Society before the
Knights of Columbus of Chattanooga
Tenn
This missionary field, covering
thirty-four counties, comprising 10000
square miles, is under the care of a
