last years work on his mission field.

that the spirit of his Christians is
growing stronger daily.

A CHINESE COLLEGE.

The following account of the Jesuit
College and it's students at Shanghai,
China, may not be uninteresting: There
are $50 Christians and 80 pagans study
ing under the Jesuits. Simple, con-
fiding, agreeable and respectful, they
render the task of working among
them very agreeable. Happy, too, is
the impression made upon visitors who
go among them. With training and
excellent scholars. Piety, of course,
holds the first place. Long prayers
and long ceremonies do not seem to
tire them. 1t is pleasant and edify-
ing to assist at the recitation of the
beads. The two sides of the chapel
ring out the soft sounds of the beau
tiful Tow-wo accent, all music and
cadence, for the Chinese sing rather
than recite their prayers. Twice a
week they have catechism, and it is
surprising how well they grasp and
retain the truths of our religion Ere.
quent Communion is practiced. Dur
ing the month of May the piety of the
Chinese boy shows itself. The little
affairs in the classrooms are works of
art, for the Chinese excel in copying
what is beautiful. Once week there
is a general gathering of the students
in the garden around the statue of the
Blessed Mother. The heather Chinee

FATHER TcHAN OF CHINA.

This graphic pen-portrait of a Chi
nese priest is given by Bishop Merel
P. F. NJ, Project Apostolic of Canton.
Father Tchan is Cantonaise. His
parents were converted to Christian
ity when he was a boy, and was bap'
tized at the age of twelve years. His
father received the sacrament of re
generation at the same time.
Bishop Guillemin, then Project Apos-
tolic, hesitated to admit the lad at
once to the preparatory seminary and,
therefore, in response to his request,
babe him to wait for a while The
youth proved faithful to his religious
duties and worthy of confidence. He
was, finally, accepted as student by
Bishop Gruve.
Father Tchan is type of the Chi
nese letter, or educated man. He was
a professor in the seminary for sew
eral years, and every year he gave a
series of sermons, or religious instruc-
ton at the Cathedral.
Born in village in the immediate
vicinity of the city of Canton, he
speaks the Cantonaise dialect with
grace and elegance. For the last fiji
teen years Father Tchan has had
charge of the Shielang district, an
extensive territory where the native
Christians are noted for their fervor.
Here he has erected five small
churches and established the Society
of the Holy Childhood for the rescue
of abandoned and orphan children.
He has also inaugurated bands of the
Society for the Propagation of the
Faith in the district, and these bands
send to the general fund about sixty
dollars a year, an encouraging aims
for a poor locality in China.

AN INFIDEL CONVERTED.

This story is told by the Bishop OF
Plymouth as an incident of the French
Revolution when impiety ran riot:
Some young men having come into
church, and seeing people going to
confession, it was suggested that one
of their number should also go to con.
fession. The idea was fully approved,
and one was appointed He knelt in
the confessional, and he commenced
in this sort: Il have cursed God, and
will do so again. have given up all
religion, and don't care a straw for
all it's teachings" etc, etc.
The priest listened, and then moved
one cannot help thinking, by the Holy
Spirit, said:
For your penance obtain Cruel
fix, place it on table, kneel before il
attentively for a minute, look at it
and they say, He died for me, and
don't care straw for Him."

WORK OF THE WHITE FATHERS.

The ransom Of African slaves is only
one of many great missionary works
accomplished by the White Fathers

still legible.

has effaced your writing. May have

Bernard took the ragged little vol

pen, inscribed some words upon it;
while Ruth continued:

to ask of you. Do you remember tell

half-quizically, half-tenderly:

interfere with my matrimonial plans"
Then he continued earnestly, Il aspire

mother and father who were hence

pupil, their sorrow was tempered with
comfort that her searching questions

MoHAMMEDIANIsM INCREASING.

Statistics show that Mohammedan-
ism is increasing in Bagamoyo, Ger
man East Africa. One reason is that
an individual need not be instructed
or reform his life to become Mo
hammedan; as an adherent of this
form of error he may, at the same
time, retain all his pagan supersti-
tions, only certain easy form OF
worship is required Of him. He,
therefore, readily embraces Islam
ism.
Almost all the native laborers EN-.
ployed by the government are MO
hammedans; so also are the native
soldiers. In fact, to the eyes OF the
natives, the government seems to ia,
vor the religion of Mohammed.
