Father Gray. In deep and soul-touch-

become martyrs for their faith.
| "And here, too, would we find
them, right here in my fold would we
find those willing to sacrifice their
lives rather, yea, a thousand times
rather, than their faith" Those words
Eof Father Gray, touched the heart of
Lady Martin-for, moved by some sud

church. And when she saw her be-
loved son enter the chancel, his hand
some face pale, yet radiant, she
thought: There would you find a

faith
Then, bowling her head on her

CATHOLIC LITERATURE.

We are informed that The Catholic
Church Extension Society has COM
piled most complete list of missions
and stations where Catholic literature
will be most acceptable. No doubt,
there is a great quantity Of Catholic
literature lying unused in many Cath
Ollie homes. 1t can be resurrected and
sent out to give Catholic inspiration to
many who never see Catholic book,
magazine or paper.
The Catholic Truth Society has pub
lished many valuable pamphlets which
are shelved in many places inactive.
There is a lot of life in them yet; they
could be sent out and made to work.
One priest says: II find Catholic
books a great help Tin places he men
tions) not only there, but in small
places where say Mass in the houses.
There is quite demand for Catholic
books"
Another priest expresses himself
thus: "Those silent teachers will take
my place III the stations, where / can
be only two or three times a year.
They are very useful, and will do lots
of good on the missions"
Another: IT distributed the litera-
ture among my parishioners, who were
very eager to read it"

work of spreading Catholic knowledge

GILRERT'S FAITH.

Before him stretch TWO paths, 2nO
he prays that God may give him
grace to choose Alright. Not until the
first rosy flush tinged the eastern sky
did he cease to pray. Then he arose,
his face pale and tear-stained, and
aching in every limb from his long
vigil, his pale lips murmuring, Thank
God, have no fear in doing right"
A year has passed, and during that
time Gilbert Martin has not entered
the sacred edifice of st. Luke's; and
yet no exile in far away Siberia ever
longed for one glimpse Of home as he
longed for but one glimpse at the i'm.
age of dying Christ on the high altar
of st. Luke's.
Gilbert Martin, once the gayest OF
the gay, has become somewhat of a
recluse. With great fear in her
heart, the mother of the young man
notes the change and yet, this proud
brilliant woman, does not betray her
feelings.
T And when request after request to
her son to attend some social gaiety
is refused with the words, Mother
you will pray excuse me; T do not care
to co." she has turned and left his
presence with a proud silence, daring
mot to question him on the reason why
he did not care to attend. Returning
late one night from the opera, she saw
light burning in the library, and she
resolved to investigate.
Stealing cautiously to the door, she
paused for a moment, and her sons
voice, low and yet distinct, came te
her ears:
my God, how happy should | be, il
were united with Thy church, with
Thee"
Waiting to hear no more, she opened
the door and entered, then stood mute
as if Mortified at the sight which met
her eyes. Her beloved son was kneel
ing, with the emblem of the Catholic
faith, the Crucifix, pressed to his
heart. Did he hear his mothers en-
trance? If he did, he gave no notice
of it until she said mockingly:

CATHOLlCITY IN TOUMET, MON
GOLIA.

Toumet? What, you have never
heard of the place? Well, I am not
surprised, for the name is little known
outside of China. Nevertheless, Tou-
met is tract of territory as large as
Belgium, which is included in the vi
cariate Apostolic of Mongolia. These
regions, which surround the upper
bend of the Yellow River, are now IA
vored by a marvellous movement to-
ward Catholicity. For a long time, 1t
is true, the Belgian missionaries sta.
toned in Mongolia have been able to
offer to Our Lord fruitful harvest OF
conversions and baptisms but, during
the last year and half He who gives
the increase and who makes the seed
to fructify, has come to their aid in a
special manner.
Last December more than three
thousand catechumens were enrolled
at the mission stations, and since then
fifteen hundred new families have ap
piled for instruction. This providential
movement is extending week by week

Value of the Years Crop.

Nothing short of omniscience can
grasp the value of the farm products
of this year, is the statement of the
secretary of agriculture in his annual
report for 1910. Never before in the
world S history has a country produced
farm products within one year with
value reaching $s,926, 600, 900, which is
the value of the agricultural products
of this country for 1910. The increase
in the value of farm products from
1899 to the present year has been pro-
gressive without interruption. If the
value of the products of 1899 is placed
at 100, the value for this year is 1879,
or almost double the value for the cen
sus year eleven years ago.
The corn crop of 1921, 1891 900 bushels
exceeds that of the record year 1906
and is greater than the average crop of
| the preceding five years by IA per
cent. While the value of this corn crop
is below that of 1909 and also of 1908
its amount belongs to stories of magic.
1t can hardly be reckOned as less than
| ST 500 100000, a sum sufficient to can
eel the interest-b bearing debt of the
United States, buy all of the gold and
silver mined in all of the countries of
the earth in 1909, and still leave to
the farmers a little pocket money.
All the cereals except corn are to.
gether worth only three-fOurths as much
as that crop. The great allied iron
and steel industries had, in the latest
census year for which results have been
published, 1904, a production worth
only 90 per cent of the value of this
year IS corn crop.
The cotton crop of this year may be
worth in lint and seed a round 5000,
100000 at the farm, or more than the
corn crop was worth in any year prior
to 1901. This value is 10 per cent
above the fve-acre average.
The value of the hay crop is about
$72OOO0,OO0, an amount which has beer
exceeded but once, and that in 1907
it is 10 per cent above the average OF
the preceding five years.
The production of spring and winter
wheat is 691 ,767, 900 bushels, or sub
stantially the average of the preceding
five years, whereas the value is about
1925, 100000, or &c per cent above the
fve-year average.
Easily the fifth crop in point Of value
is oats, the value of which this year is
60,OOO,OOO, or ~ per cent above the
average of the five preceding years
For the second time in the history OF
this country the crop exceeds 1000,
100000 bushels, the precise estimate
standing at 1896, 1885, 900 bushels, o.
% per cent greater than the average
of the five preceding years.
Next in order of value is the potato
crop, which has been exceeded only il
two or three former years. With the
exception of the crop of 1909, which
was in a degree an overproduction, the
crop of this year is the largest ever
grown in this country; the preliminary
estimate of the department is s2s,7s7,
900 bushels, or per cent above the
average of the preceding five years
