CATHOLIC CHINESE FAITHFUL

Among Chinese Catholics those liv-
ing at such a distance that it is i'm
possible for them to come to the
chapel assemble in the oratory of
their own village where the meeting
is presided over by a Christian
school teacher or by the chief Chris
tian of the village. The prayers and
instructions are the same as at the
chapel, with the exception, of course,
of the Holy Sacrifice. Sometimes
families recite the prayers in their
own private oratories.
AS a rule the people are faithful
in the performance of this duty, and
they deserve great credit, for without
the presence of a priest how easy it
would be even here in America to be-
come negligent.
Bishop Merel relates two little in
cidents which prove the fidelity of the
Chinese Christians in this respect.
One day he CHANGED upon the
dwelling of Christian family far up
among the mountains, miles and
miles from any chapel. AS he drew
near, he heard two voices chanting
the rosary, and upon looking in, he
saw a good old man and his wife
kneeling before their little oratory,
carrying out as far as lay in their
power, the Sunday noon observance,
which their more fortunate brethren
were enabled to do at the chapel.
On another occasion he was visiting
village struck by the plague. At
about two o'clock Sunday afternoon
he was called upon to administer the
last Sacraments to an old man who
was dying. When he reached the
house he found the dying man upon
his knees before a little wooden
bench. He was breathing his last, and
his body was already cold.
After the Bishop had administered
Extreme Unction, the mans wife told
him that together with a neighbor they
had knelt down to say the midday
rosary, as they were too far away from
the chapel to attend. Before the
rosary was finished, her husband
failed to respond to the prayers, and
upon looking around, she found him
senseless, whereupon, realizing the
danger, she sent for the missionary
What a fitting time for Christ to
call this faithful soul, while perform.

AN AMERICAN PRIEST IN
HANKOW, CHINA.

Father Sylvester Espelage o. F. M,
is one of our American priests in
China. He halls from Cincinnati, at
present he is in charge of a mission
in Hankow, China, in the center of the
Chinese revolution
A tall pleasant, unassuming man.
Father Sylvester is endowed with the
will power and resolution of heroes
and saints. I saw him some years
ago when he passed through New
Mexico on his way to China and could
not help admiring and loving him. In
this dangerous hour, our sympathy
goes to him, and we pray God to
safeguard him in the many trials con
fronting him.

These Christian Chinese deserve
additional merit for their observance
of Sunday, surrounded as they are by
pagans who do not keep the day and
who ridicule those who do observe it..
These latter do not call it the Lords
Day, but instead the Day of the Stars.
Within the last few years, however,
there is tendency towards slight
observance even on the part of the
pagans. For instance, the official es-
Establishments are closed, the soldiers
and scholars are given holiday and
the newspapers do not appear.

DEAFNESS Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion OF the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infiamed con-
dition OF the mucous lining OF tie
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
infamed you have a rumbllng sound
or imperfect hearing, and when II is
entirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be
taher out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out OF ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is moth
ing but an inhamed condition OF the
mucous surfaces.

DON'T KNOCK YOUR TOWN.

Just at this season we think the
following editorial from the Wash
ington Progress is very appropriate
and applies to our town as well as to
Washington. The Progress says:
This is the season of resolution
making. That is not 3 bad idea.
The truth is that there is no achieve
lnent without planning and unless
we determine to do better we will
never improve. Make good resolu-
lions and strive to keep them. One
of the best resolutions and one that
should be made by every citizen OF
this town and county is that during
the year 1911 we will push our town.
Never knock. Do not knock this
town or any other town. Boost your
town and keep everlastingly at 1t.
The other day a prominent citizen
of one Of the best lows in North
Carolina was asked about his town
and his reply was: This town is
dead town" A little more inquiry
revealed the fact that the town was
not dead but the aforesaid citizen
was lust little out Of sorts and
needed a rest at some summer re-
sort. Boost your town. II it is not
as good as it should be, strive to
make it better and you will be sur
prised at the success you achieve

Ball Game Results In A Tie.

Despite the threatening weather
and the rain which fell at different
periods last Sunday, seven fast
innings of good ball were played on
the Malta diamond between Glasgow
and Malta. The Glasgow team came
up OH No. and the Sllidoo and were
accompanied by a large number of
rooters from the county seat city.
The game started at o'clock with
VIM. Tressler as umpire. Coombs of
Glasgow, started things moving by
making a home run in the first.
Hertz and Cordry of the home team
each made score during the game
and Glasgow managed to squeeze in
another run which tied the score, 2 to
2. In the first half of the seventh
inning the rain became so heavy the
game had to be called. Both teams
furnished a good article of ball
although the visitors were somewhat
handicapped mot having their reg
ular pitcher. The Glasgow team are
a fine bunch of fellows and always
make themselves at home when they
come to Malta. Among the Glasgow
fans present were Ed. Perkins,
Claude Ward, Bernard Hoy, George
Gebhardt, Andy Lee, WILDER Craw-
ford and the little mascot, Gail Shoe
maker. Next Sunday Malta will try
another game with Saco in this
city. HAPPY JACK.
