PROBLEMS
- MRS ELJzAREGE
THOMSON

Dear Mrs. Thompson: Ought a man
to pay for the wedding expenses? My
mother says my intended ought to pay
for the invitations and the carriage to
the church and the brides bouquet and
everything. But some of my girl
friends say the brides family has to
spend the money. Which is right?
GLADYS.
Mother is wrong this time. The
brides parents must stand all the
ante marriage expenses. The bride
groom pays only for his own carriage
to the church. He Of course pays for
tie marriage license and minister's fee,
and he ought to present the bride with
her bouquet. Usually, too, he makes
her a present Of some bit of jewelry
which she wears with her wedding
outfit.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: Do you think
it is wrong for me to sit on the porch
with young men callers?
I am ~ years old and I, know quite
a few boys who like to come and visit

neighborhood! More than four or five
hundred children would thus be saved
for the Church. But there is no use
of thinking of the luxury of a Catho'
lie school unless our American con-
gregations are willing to help us.
"By dint of hard work, I got to-
gether enough money to begin with
the chapel. But, alas! our good Bish-
op wisely obliged me to pay for the
ground, for which I had to spend my
precious thousand dollars. / am glad
to have the site, but with that the
money for the chapel is gone, and
am really in the same condition now
as when / first began to collect. 1t Is
necessary to build, but I cannot for
lack of funds. All my friends have
done their best when called on their
charity. I am grateful to them, but
do not dare call on them again after
so short time.
IF the American Catholics would
know that our Porto Rican people see
only Protestant charity and new
Protestant chapels, hospitals and
orphanages in this country, they
would be more willing to help us
American missionaries to build up the
fame of their Catholic faith and char
ity. If they could feel that from their
generosity this people must receive
the Christian instruction which they
need, we would not remain so long a
time in such a helpless and sad con-
dition"

oRLATEs DID PIONEER WORK..

To travel through the Transvaal,
South Africa, is to get glimpse of
the Orders of the Church, both men
and women, who are building for the
faith or adding to the foundations al
ready laid. There is one Oblate in
whom we are particularly interested
because of the many letters he sends
and for the spirit of humility that
hides his own good deeds while
telling the story of other days. He
has written of one of the pioneers,
Father Schoch, fellow Oblate, and
it is not hard to believe that the other
missionaries are modelled after this
old saint, who died in 1891.
Il can picture him now,'' this priest
writes, preparing for his long jour-
ney on horse back, remaining up late
at night, filling his saddle bags with
catechisms and books of instruction
and pictures for the little ones. AL
ways careful he was to wrap them in
waterproof covering, for there were
no bridges in his time and often he
risked his life in swimming the rivers
to reach his scattered flock. How
often he returned in the morning after
a hard ride through the night to say
Mass for the Sisters at one of the
posts. Once expressed surprise that
he should have put himself to such an
inconvenience, and his reply, given
with such sweet simplicity was char
acteristic: It's feast day, and the
Sisters would have missed church had
l not come Father Schoch died on
his way to Rome and was buried at
sea, but it is not lonely grave. The
prayers of his brother Oblates and the
Sisters and the people are always
around it, and many fervent God
rest his soul have 1 heard in the
distant mountain stations"
1t is worthy of remark that many of
the new men in the Transvaal district
have been recruited in Ireland, which
is a good indication that the foreign
mission field will in time be peopled
with the old line missionary.

FROM A PORTO RlcAN MISSION

The destitute state of religion in
Porto Rico is now pretty we'll known.
The appended letter is not, therefore,
a surprise. We have built three chap
els down there, and, while the results
are encouraging, there is yet vast
field to cover. The writer is a Do
minican Father and has the endorse
ment of Bishop Jones:
"Bayamon, my parish, is situated at
short distance from San Juan, the
capital of the island. When I came
here seven years ago I found 10000
inhabitants scattered over the whole
extensive district belonging to my pa:-
ish. Now I have 10000 parishioners,
of whom about 5000 are living in the
town.
This surprising increase in poula-
ton is due to the American Tobacco
company, which built one of it's fac
tories here, giving employment to
more than thousand people. Some
years ago the owner of an unfinished
house allowed me to use a floor for q
catechism class. This little room
was soon crowded with hundred chill
dren every Sunday afternoon. Now
that the owner has put up partitions
to divide the larger space into smaller
rooms, the opportunity for teaching
catechism has been taken away, and
to my great sorrow have to leave the
field open to the Protestants, who
have built large chapel in that neigh
borhood with money received from
jealous Americans
My mind has long been set on the
building of chapel in that congested
district of my parish. What a bless
ing it would be for those children If
school could be erected in that

IN VICTORIA NYANZA.

Do you have any idea of what the
creation of a new mission in Victoria
Nyanza means?-no? Then listen.
In the depths of the Vicariate Apos-
tolic, a missionary unexpectedly re-
ceives an order from his Bishop, d.
recting him to go to another district,
to establish a new mission. The new
district is ordinarily one hundred to
two hundred miles away.
At once the old boxes, kept in a
store-room for future use, are brought
out and filled with a few books,
some garments, church vestments and
provisions. No box must weight over
sixty pounds, for all are to be carried
on the shoulders of Negro porters.
The next day, the caravan moves
on. Slowly it winds it's way across
the plains. The travellers camp
wherever they happen to be around
five P. M. Fifteen days later they
finally arrive at their destination.
Soon after they reach the place, they
have to decide on the location of their
headquarters. They must select a
village in the centre of the district to
found their parish.
They need high ground, so that
the mission-house may be seen from
afar. They must establish them
selves in place not far from spring
of water. When the location has been
decided upon, they plant the Cross
and offer fervent prayer to God for
the success of the mission.
The material building of the chapel
and of the hut for the missionary
begins. AS you can readily under
stand, this task is far from being an
easy one. Then the spiritual building
of the Church is to be considered and
the missionary divides his time be,
tween directing the work of the ma
terial church and laying, personally
the foundations of the spiritual one.

FIRST BASEBALL
 GAME SUNDAY

Because the baseball diamond at Exposition park was still trifle wet, owing to the rainy weather and the frost coming out of the ground, it was deemed advisable to postpone the opening baseball game yesterday until next Sunday. On that occa- sion the grounds will be formally opened with a big game.
 With the grandstand and bleachers erected and the greater part of the fence in place the park is looking fine. The building of the half-mile race track will be commenced at once and it is expected that it will be in g -od shape for the horse races to be held on the fifth of July. It is hoped that for these races there will be a large number of entries. The prizes will be generous enough to encourage any persons owning horses to take a chance with them. Those who intend doing so should communicate with R. s. Mcdonald, the chairman of the sports commit tee. so that the pogam can be in telligently arranged.

A large divisi-n of the French navy was maneuvering be- tween Aurigny Island and Cape Hague. and as violent tidal currents are prevalent ill these waters at all seasons of the year, it is presumed that the officers on the submarine failed to detect the presence of the Digger ship through the mirroring arrangement provided for under water craft.
