THE POOR THAT ARE ALWAYS
WITH US.

While there are a few parishes in
the United States that have not some
poor among the congregation, the
poverty of the great majority OF the
Mexicans of the southwest is beyond
the realization of the Northerners and
Fasteners. How great is the money
stringency among them may be gath
cred by the following letter received
at the offices of The Catholic Church
Extension Society, in Chicago.
"The mission for which a gift is
asked is a small village in the Rio
Puerco valley. The people are Next
cans. that is, American citizens
speaking the Spanish language. They
are poor, most of them sheepherders
and ranchers. Water is scarce in
this region, and especially this year
the drought has been felt very much,
drying up all the creeks and rivulets
from which they otherwise irrigate
their lands. Inconsequence crops
were poor.
For three years these people, to-
gether with their priests, have to1led
to erect to the Divine Majesty and
in honor of their heavenly Queen a
suitable temple, the present one be-
ing entirely inadequate and unnC.
They have managed to put up the
walls, making and laying the adobes
themselves. They have also hauled
the lumber gratis from the noun
tains. But the money question has
been from the beginning a trouble
some one. The people, though poor,
have contributed their mite, and are
still collecting; but with all hardly
sufficient can be gotten together to
put on a good substantial roof to
preserve the work already accomp-
lished. I therefore humbly beg you
to consider my plea favorably, and
by your assistance help preserve our
holy Faith among these poor people,
among whom the Protestant sects are
making inroads and in many instanc-
es, progress"

FATHERS OF THE DIVINE WORD
AMONG THE NEGROES.

The Fathers of the Society of the
Divine Word are Jealous workers
among the negroes of the Southern
States. They commenced their labors
less than three years ago, and have
accomplished wonders. There are five
missionaries altogether in the field,
company of spiritual giants, and they
are aided by twenty Sisters. Their
society is of German origin, having
been founded in 1875 by Rev. Arnold
Jansen for the propagation of the
faith among the pagan nations. The
nuns who aid them belong to the So
ciety of the Servants of the Holy
Ghost, founded by Father Jansen In
1889. They have missions in Jackson,
Miss, Little Rock, Ark, Vicksburg,
Miss, and Meridian, Miss. They have
built temporary schools and churches,
and all are taxed beyond their capa-

Keane felt it, and his wife. Mary said
he made her nervOus!"
Perhaps his greatest impression was
made upon the tourists, pleasure-seek-
ers largely, and with time to medi-
tate in this lazy spot Of the world.
They had recently come from an
ocean trip more or less rough; they
must take another to get off these
lislands,-and when was not the ocean
more suggestive of death and disaster
than the land?
The parish priest had been more
concerned for an impression on his
children, poor, simple folks, but he
had not underestimated the good that
a mission might do the tourists, and
he was not surprised at the crowd of
fashionable folk at the evening lee
tures-a crowd not large at first, but
growing nightly. The men had their
inning first, and many bloated fell
low of finance, throwing off down here
the results of too much eating, drink
ing and money grubbing, bowed his
knees at the altar before the end of
the week.
"They had time for it," said the
parish priest $50 much good might
not have come to them in the storm
of their Northern hurry and worry"
Mr.. Keane had made the mission,
his first in twenty years, he said The
admission brought him shame, it must
be owned. Mrs. Keane began to go
to the women's evening lectures the
next week, and took Mary with her.
Took the girl, until on Wednesday
night, when there was ball at The
Hamilton, the big hotel, and she had
been asked to go to it with a ''splen-
did CATCH" an Englishman in the con-
sular service.
"Of course, you must CO." sighed
the mother. "You can't be young but
once, and you are down here for more
pleasure than you can get at home.
That is only right"
"Of course, I meant to CO." rejoined
Mary, coolly. I'm surprised at my
self for going to these nightly serv-
ices. I honestly don't believe we'd do
it at home!"
ooh, I think we would" said Mrs.
Keane. But she was not sure that she
thought so.

He looked admiringly at Mary, un-
deniably beautiful in her shimmering
evening gown, her bare alabaster
shoulders, her rosy, animated face.
She glanced at her satin slippers; she
could walk miles in them here and
they would show no soil. The man
threw her scarf, which he had been
holding, across her neck. 'It is as
warm as a summer day." he said. "You
cannot catch cold"
Together they descended the state

hotel and the palm-set garden of the
hotel into the street. The witchery

IN CATHOLIC MISSION FIELDS.

loss is due to the lack of sufficient
number of priests and the need of
more catechists. With two hundred

contributors to this great work in
Founders, or those who give five thou
sand dollars; Patrons, those who give
one thousand dollars; and Benefac-
tors, those who contribute according
to their means.
All contributors will have large
share in the prayers and good works
of Jesuit Fathers throughout the
world.

with her face lifted to the magnificent

and eloquence came down from the
rise of ground on which it stood and

cried. "A prayer meeting?'
Mary started. No." she replied.
"This is the Roman Catholic Church
and they are having mission"
They stood a moment looking up
and in at the crowded interior.

lishman. We've not many in Eng

by Jove, are of the oldest and best

"Of course you are an Anglican?"
He shook his head and laughed.

shrugged his shoulders. ''I think there

of the missionary within.
Mary started again, and her face
paled with emotion.
How many thousand times have
heard that quoted" laughed the man.
Mary had taken two steps up from
the street. With sudden movement
she took off her scarf and twisted it
about her head, to cover it. She
turned and looked down at the man,
and he could see that she was trem-
bling.

She went in and stood at the edge of
the throng, a strange figure there.
The fire of the speaker took possession
of her, and she fell to trembling. The
words she heard struck deep into her
soul.
When the services were over and
the first crowd had departed, she went
outside and found the Englishman
smoking down on the lower steps.
''You may think it strange" she
said to him, tensely, "but I am going
to stay and go to confession now I've
never been a good Catholic. I see

MODERN HERoINEs OF CHARITY

There is no disease that is feared
and Stunned as much as much as lep-
rosy. Science up to the present time,
has failed to find cure for this most
loathsome of diseases, and the poor
sufferer is condemned to a living
death.
When the Canadian government
founded a lazaretto, or leper colony,
at Travadie, New Brunswick, the Gov
ernor invited the Sisters of Saint Jo-
seph to take charge of the hospital.
These heroic women cheerfully said
goodbye to all that the world holds
dear, happy in the thought that they
were able to make this sacrifice for
the sake of Christ. They live in the
same house with the lepers, do all the
work of the hospital, and minister
with loving kindness to these out
casts from civilization. Many of the
Sisters contracted the dread disease
in the past, and now fill lepers'
graves; but others were always ready
to take the places of the dead, and go
on with the noble work.

FATHER BARNUM AMONG ESk
MOS.

The Jesuit Fathers laboring in Alas
ka have converted about 1900 adult
Eskimos. One of the best known of
these missionaries is FIR. Barnum,
convert nephew of the famous show
man, who renowned fortune on be-
coming a Jesuit. FIR. Barnum has
made a thorough study of the Ian
guage and ethnology of the Eskimos.
He calls the language of these glacial
men" the Innuit tongue. He has red
uced it to writing and composed a
dictionary of it and a grammar. He
thinks the Innuits are not from Japan,
as is commonly supposed, but are be-
yond all reasonable doubt one OF the
oldest races in the world.

THE APOSTOLATE IN JAMAICA
WEST INDIES.

The following letter from the Rt.
Rev. J. J. Collins, S. J. Vicar Apos-
tolic of Jamaica, w. l., should meet
with a general response from the
Catholics of the United States. AL
though it comes from the foreign
field, the eighteen missioners who are
so zealously and devotedly toiling in
that difficult Apostolate are all Amer
leans.
One of our great needs in Jamaica
is the help of intelligent catechists,
men who, in the absence of the priest,
will assemble the faithful on Sundays
and holidays for religious services,
teach them the prayers and the COM
mandments, prepare both adults and
children for worthy reception of the
Sacramento and teach school
For the whole island of Jamaica,
with population of more than eight
hundred thousand people, there are
only eighteen priests. The twenty
thousand Catholics are, for the most
part, very poor Owing to the scarcity
of missionaries, the priests cannot
visit any particular mission station
oftener than once a month. In many
cases, he gets around to distant dis
tricts only four times year, and to
the most isolated sections but once a
year. In vain do Catholics, and even
Protestants, appeal to us for more
mission stations, in some of the noun
tain districts. The sole reply we can
make is "Have patience, God will pro
vide"
In the meantime, many Catholics
being ignorant of their own religion
attend the Protestant chapels that
are dotted all over the island, and
the children go to Protestant schools
Thus, whole families are lost to the
