FOR EAST INDIAN ORPHANS.

In pagan lands orphan children are
practically helpless. No one cares for
them or is concerned about their
future welfare Were it not for the
charity of the missionaries, priests,
brothers and nuns these orphans
would have little hope of attaining
any happiness. A Brother writes us:
Five years ago established an
orphanage in Ernaculam, Malabar,
with the permission and approval of
my Bishop. For want of a building
of their own, the orphans are still
residing in a house which is rented
at high cost. They are supported en-
tirely by donations received from
charitable persons among the clergy
and the laity.
II have endeavored to begin to build
home for the orphans, but have
been compelled to postpone the work
on account of the lack of resources.
My only prospect of future success
in this undertaking is that generous
benefactors of the missions will take
practical interest in these poor chill
dren. The orphans will play daily
for all who take pity on them.

WHERE BLESSED cHAPDELAINE
ToILED.

From Kweichow, China, Father JOS
eph Cheilletz tells us of his field OF
labor. There, in a God-forsaken
corner of the Province, where a most
unhealthful climate causes premature
death of Europeans, this Jealous mis-
sionary keeps up the work started by
the Blessed Chapdelaine fifty years
ago. Formerly this section, called eta
Chan" was visited once year by
missionary who resided there for two
months at time. Of late the Bishop
appointed Father Cheilletz as a per-
manent missionary for the district.
81 pray the Blessed Chapdelaine,"
says he in his letter, ito insure the
stability of my appointment and to
suggest to some good American souls
to send me some aims to build up a
little church and little school in his
honor. My district counts $50 Chris
tians and 1000 catechumens and it is
necessary that should have schools,
and I especially need a school for
the girls. This years harvest will be
poor; it has rained constantly, and
from all corners the people come to
me asking me to come to their aid"
Will not some of our generous peo-
pie build this church for Father
Cheilletz?

CHURCH AN OLD INSTITUTION IN
CHINA.

1t is interesting to note at what an
early date Christianity was introduced
into the Chinese Empire The first
trace of the Christian religion to be
found in China is an inscription and
monument in the ancient capital, ST.
gnan-fu, dating back to the year 635.
This inscription proves that at this
remote period the Catholic faith was
widely disseminated and in a flourish
ing condition. A missionary named
Olopen, who went to China in the first
half of the seventh century, found that
he had been preceded by the Nestor-
fans, Christian sect that prescribed
images, especially those of the Virgin
Mary, as signs of idolatry, having for
their symbol the cross alone. In 651
the first Catholic church was built,
during the reign of Emperor Kai-
tsung. In 712 the first persecution
provoked by the BONES was directed
against the Christians, but in 744 the
emperor received a Roman priest with
honor An inscription dater 7S1 shows
that at this epoch the king of the city
of Ten-Yen, also generalissimo of the
armies Of So-Fan, was a Christian.
Catholic churches were built under
Emperor Ten-tsung, who died in 1888.
No further trace Of missionaries is
found until 1916, when Pope Innocent

A CHINESE PRIEST APPEALS TO
AMERICA.

In China we count a great number of
Chinese priests who rival in zeal and
self-sacrificing spirit the European
priests with whom they labor. One of
them, Rev. John Baptist Wang, tells
us in a letter we have just received OF
his work and of his expectations:
81 am not neglecting," says he, "the
conversion of pagans. I have estab-
lished a centre of Catholicism in the
town of Tsung-fa. There I formerly
had meeting house where the
catechumens used to come for instruc-
ton. Many of them have now been
regenerated in the holy waters of
Baptism. The number of Christians
having increased considerably, the
house was found too small and, in
stead of adding to it, the Christians
preferred to build larger edifice else
where. They assessed themselves,
but, unfortunately, the total sum is
very small and we would need over
100000 to put up church spacious
enough to accommodate our people.
Protestants already have beautiful
monuments here.
1T have been told how generous the
American Catholics are and to them |
apply in my need, entreating them to
help me in my task for the sake of
Christianity, for the sake of our
common Saviour"

THEN AN ALTAR BOY, NOW AN
APOSTLE.

Thirteen years ago, on visit to the
Seminary Of Courpiere in the center
Of France I noticed the piety of a
young altar boy. After Mass l said
some words of encouragement to him
and spoke of foreign MISSIONS
Yesterday what was not my surprise
to receive letter from this very boy
now a missionary in Fousan, Corea,
recalling our short conversation of
years ago. Father Julien is now in
charge of the conversion of the great,
est Corean seaport town. His, is an
herculean task. But endowed as he is
with an intense faith and daring
enthusiasm he will not fail with the
grace of God to achieve success.
Chapel, residence and school have to
be built in his mission. He needs
catechists to forward his work and he
certainly deserves the prayers and
material help of the faithful.
In the meantime, around him the
Protestant American foreign missions
have built schools, churches and a
hospital.
Will we not try to compete in zeal
and generosity with our separated
brethren?

A WORD FROM EAST AFRICA.

Rev. G. Bouma of the Mill Hill Fa-
theirs writes as follows to the Society
for the Propagation of the Faith:
81 was in charge of Our Ladys mis-
sion station at Ojola, Kusuma, British
East Africa, but just fortnight ago
was transferred to St. Peters Mumias,
station among the negroes, which
was opened a year and a half ago. The
blacks are anxious to become Chris
tians; the chiefs show themselves
very favorably disposed towards us,
and the spiritual harvest is white for
the cleaners.
What we greatly need here, how
ever, is a great chapel, large school
and decent house for the missionary.
If you will kindly publish my appeal I
am sure it will meet with sympathy
practical sympathy.
Later, I shall be glad to enter into
particulars with regard to this new
mission. The missionary needs a
proper dwelling house especially be-
cause Mumias is extremely unhealth-
full. Four Europeans have recently
succumbed to the fever of the climate
If missionary has sanitary house
he is able to keep well and work hard
for Almighty God If he is living in a
miserable hut, as we are now, he can
not escape the fever, and his time for
work will be cut short"

w, planned to convert the Tartars to
Christianity, and for this purpose sent
among them two Franciscan priests,
st. Louis also sent missionaries and
later Pope Gregory x. sent Dominican
friars into China. In 1871 thirteen
and in 1891 twenty-six
more set out for the Far East, none of
them ever being heard of afterwards.
OF course, the name of the famous
Jesuit, Father Ricci, is bound up with
the history of the empire and also the
Church in China. From this it is quite
evident that the Catholic Church is
rather an old institution in the Middle
Empire.

WILL you BE AN APOSTLE?

i "The missionaries in the field afar
work the land in the vineyard of the
Lord, clearing and sowing the good
seed, that is, they work at their daily
task and pray that their expectations
may be realized. They wish to offer
our Saviour a rich harvest of souls.
Will we not help them with our
prayers and our material aid?''

Commuters Will Take Matter

Hundreds of Newark commuters are

tice that in view of the order of the
commission, the rat between this city
and New York on Communication tickets
would be reduced from 1850 to $6.15.
Many passengers brought the exact
amount with which to purchase the
tickets at the new rate. and were
greatly wrought up when the ticket
agents informed them that excursion
tickets could only be procured at the
same rate which the commission ruled
is excessive. Several verbal encounters
between the agents and passengers
took place at the Market and South
street stations of the railroad. causing
many waiting commuters To lose the
rains which get them to their places
of business on time.
The ticket agents declared there
was no reduction on the tickets. and
