VALUE OF THE CRUCIFlX IN
COREA.

Now that Japan has annexed Corea
there is great danger that the old
lines of demarcation will soon be
wiped out. OF course the Coreans
have a deep-rooted hatred of the willy
conqueror, but the latter is not both
ering much about that end of it. The
transition was made without any
blOodshed and no fuss practically of
any kind. The only change that has
been made as far as the missions are
concerned is that many of the Chris
tians have moved away, some Of them
towards the borders. Six little Chris
tian villages were established during
the past two years and while the
humble chapsls are not much to look
at they are serving the excellent pur-
pose of keeping the Christians to-
gether There are about twenty-eight
hundred Christians on the borders and
700 serious catechumens. In the win
ter the missions are connected by
waterways which are frozen over,
thus giving access to places not easy
of approach for the missionary.
The devotion of the Christians to
their Catholic emblems, their cruel
fixes and medals is very edifying and
has been the means of attracting
many to inquire about the faith. Per
haps this has come from the Russians,
whose love especially for the Mother
of God is well known. It is interest
ing to notice this practical love of the
Russians for Christian emblems
Bishop Mutel, accompanied by ma
tive Corean, wanted to cross the
border into Russian territory. Coreans
have not the right to pass the borders
without a license, which costs nine
roubles, which license must be re
newed every year When the Bishop
and his aide reached the official in
reply to his demand for the ticket
the Christian Corean simply showed
his crucifix and Immediately was
passed through with the remark, 'He
is a Christian Needless to state
the crucifix is in great demand.

Need tell you my answer? My
heart went out to that child-hearted,
big, black man! / saw the grace OF
God had come to him through that
poor old Woodworking mother. Her
teachings, her influence had guarded
his life, and shaped his pathway to
me, and l gave him all / could of in
struction and assistance day after day
until I left him, true, fervent, prac-
teal Catholic! Where he is now |
know not, but firmly believe that his
life is one that his mother in heaven
is not ashamed of.
Oh, Christian mothers of the pres
emit generation, do you thus impress
piety and faith on your children?
Learn lesson from this lowly
negro mother and her stalwart son..
