GOOD NEWS FROM THE IVORY
COAST.

The Rev. FIR. Corfu, Lyons African
missionary, says in a recent letter:
The Ivory Coast, that fourishing Dor.
ton of the French possessions in
western Africa, is entering on a new
phase of it's existence. It's first mis-.
slonaries arrived in 1895 and in less
than three months seven stations had
been founded.
The success of these first ventures
was somewhat retarded in 1900 and
1907, when series of disasters tried
the spirit of the apostles and their
neWly-made converts. Better days fol-
lowed, however, and new churches
sprang up in the ever-increasing area
given over to Christianity.
For the better development of the
work, the missionaries desired Epis,
copal powers for their chief. To this
end petition, sent through the Su
perior General of the Lyons Society
was addressed to the Holy See.
"A favorable response was not Ions
in coming. In 1911, the northern sec
ton of the mission was made a Pre-
lecture Apostolic and the neighborins
region became vicariate The Righi

Rev. Jules Moury, with the title Of
Bishop of Ariasso, was given charge
of the district.
Although poor, like other African
missions, and unable to offer cathe-
dral, or a palace to this new prelate,
Ivory Coast has something better in
store for it's Bishop-the devotion Of
a horde of black children, who have
come to know and love the Faith and
to respect it's representatives.
"A proper church becomes, how
ever, necessity, not a question of
pride, but that the Bishop, who re-
sides at Abidjan, may receive the
Christians on those occasions when
the various Sacraments demand their
presence in large numbers. No doubt
the generous supporters of the Propa-
cation of the Faith will relieve the
distress of the moment"

within the confessional, the curtain
was pushed aside-and Peter fell back
a step when Mr.. Morrison came out,
pale and a little tremuIous, ana going
forward, knelt beside his wife at Our
Lady's feet. A moment more, and
Peter was on his knees in his masters
place.
On the following Monday morning
Peter and the other men who had
been discharged from the steel plant,
because by driving those who re,
manned little harder it was possible
to do without them, were reinstated
in their old places. A few weeks
later their pitilessly long working day
was shortened; and before long their
wages were advanced little. Mary
Barzynski learned to smile again;
and as for Peter, the money in his
pocket and the peace in his heart
taught him to laugh and to pray as
he had not done for many a weary
month.
And there was soul sanity and
detached amid horrible luxury, and a
heart filled with love for one who had
long wandered from the fold in his
greedy quest of wealth, which over
flowed at last with the joy as well as
the peace which passeth understand

milwaukee, WIS.
Dear Friend:-You have most likely
heard or read of the NOV cement recent
ly set on foot for the conversion OF
that sadly neglected portion of Christ's
fiock-the Negroes. In the city OF
Milwaukee there are some $500
Negroes who, for lack of men and
means, have up to the present been
more or less sadly neglected. A start
has been made to gain the colored
people for our holy faith. The mission
work done so far has shown that it
is very promising field for harvest,
and those already converted, have
proved themselves fervent Catholics.
The Most Rev. Archbishop has con-
fided this mission to the Capuchin
Fathers. The harvest is great, and
not only laborers are needed, but also
the means for carrying on this work
of mercy.
chapel and mission-building without
which nothing can be effected. The
transaction was made, trusting to the
Intervention of Divine Providence to
help us defray the expenses; and an
appeal is hereby made to your Chris
tian generosity in the name of the
Good Shepherd Jesus, to contribute
your aims for this mission among our
colored brethren
Through your generous cooperation
you will become a daily participant
in the "Conventual Masses" and in the
prayers and good works of the Com
munity. Besides, we intend to record
in book the name of every one con-
tributing any sum, however small, to
the Negro-Mission. The names of the
dead as well as the living can be en-
rolled. This Book of Benefactors'
will be preserved in the Mission-Altar
as perpetual memorial before God.
"Thy Kingdom comet" is the motto
of every lover of the Sacred Heart
Jesus longs for souls, also for those
that do not 'sknow him." that "sit in
the darkness of superstition and in the
shadow of death" We humbly ask
your charity to help us in spreading
Gods Kingdom by leading the poor
Negroes to their loving Saviour.

USED SAGE TEA
To Darken the Hair and Restore
Gray and Faded Hair to Its
Natural CoIGr.

It IS easier to preserve the color of
the hair than to restore 1t. although
1t Is possible to do both. Our grand
mothers understood the secret. They
made a sage tea" and their dark,
glossy hair long after middle life was
due to this fact. Our mothers have
gray hairs before they are fifty, but
they are beginning to appreciate the
wisdom Of our grandmothers In using
sage tea" for their hair. and are
fast following suit.
The present generation has the
advantage of the past in that it can
get a ready-to-use preparation called
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair REM
edy. AS a scalp tonic and color re-
storer this preparation is vastly supe-
rior to the ordinary sage tea" made
by our grandmothers.
The growth and beauty Of the hair
depends on a healthy condition of
the scalp. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Hair Remedy quickly kills the dand-
ruff germs which rob the hair of its
life. color and lustre. makes the
scalp clean and healthy, gives the
hair strength, color and beauty, and
makes 1t grow.
