| was startled, but would not show
it. I said:
you are excited, Bessie; you must
await Gods will. He has indeed been
good to you. Won't you stay with us
and offer your thanksgiving to Him."
Il cannot" she said; my mission
is ended My heart longs to see my
Lord and tell Him my gratitude"
well then, Bessie, tomorrow morn
ing l will bring our Lord to you, and
if you are worse I will anoint you"
Thank you, Father" she said, sim

l went on my round of duty, but try
as l would, l could not keep my
thoughts away from Bessie. They told
me her sufferings that night were ex-
cruciating. She bore them with sweet
ness, almost with joy. Now and then
she would say with sigh, will morn
ing soon be here? Our Lord is COM

1t was Sunday morning. There was
no mistake now, Bessie was dying.
went early to her bedside. Her face
was white as marble, and her pinched
features told how she had suffered
during the night. A table was ready,
and some of the nuns and more of the
patients knelt there, while I gave her
Holy Viaticum and anointed her.
When I was leaving her she tried to
clasp her poor little twisted hands
together, and whispered, Come back
Father; it won't be long now" l went
back as soon as L could. She was
sinking rapidly, but the pinched feat
ures had disappeared, and her face
glowed as it did when the news of her
brothers conversion first reached her.
Everyone was impressed by the beauty
of her countenance, and yet death was
there. | read the solemn prayers of
the Church, so majestic and so con-
soling. AS I paused I heard her say,
softly: "Only fifteen years; so short
a time for such a great reward"
In an instant that long stretch of
days and nights came before me, with
I felt something rising in my throat
which threatened to choke my utter
ance: "Only'' fifteen years. "OnIy!"
She was dying now, and as her eyes
closed, and as the last faint gasps
succeeded each other, the silence was
intense. Suddenly her eyes opened
wide and a beautiful smile passed over
her face 1t faded into marble white.

then, and as if it were SO ordained, it
seemed as if every church bell in the
city began to ring. Sweet, loud and
strong the Sunday chimes pealed forth.
The effect was electrical. It was like
paeon of triumph.
Bessie was dead! Her apostolate
for one single soul was over. Sister
and brother were with God.
I shall never forget the beauty of
that death-bed.

AFRICANS OF THE NIGER
DISTRICT.

A Holy Ghost missionary thus de-
scribes the fierce Ibibios, among whom
members of the society are laboring:
"The Ibibios occupy all the country
lying between the Cross River and
the Niger. The English, under whose
government they live, have found
them not at all enthusiastic for the
laws of England or it's civilization
1t is rarely that any European, except
the missionary, ventures among them
without a goodly escort.
These tribes cultivate the land
and are dealers in palm oil and nuts
Their immense plantations of sweet
potatoes assure them sufficient food
and barter supplies them with utensils
needed for labor.
Naturally, they are fetichists; they
pretend they are not cannibals, but
this point is doubtful
ITO the missionary it is a touching
sight to see these former devourers
of human flesh aWkWardly learning
to bend the knee and patiently repeat
ing the Ave Maria. To convert such
souls is truly a consolation to the
apostle"

WHAT THE MISSIONARIES
ACCOMPLISH.

Aside from the spiritual changes
wrought by the priests in mission
countries, these Jealous pioneers of
the Cross are of inestimable value in
numberless other directions.
A French writer has set forth his
views on this subject in volume re-
Gently published. He says:
missionaries add greatly to the
commercial prosperity of country,
the Emperor of Germany having
stated that they are the most power
full factors of commercial riches and
national grandeur in the Orient. They
advance civilization in a marvellous
degree through the founding of Chris
tan families, emancipating of woman
and abolishing of slavery. They have
rendered valuable services to science,
botany, geography, zoology, natural
history, etc, all having benefited by
the researches of the missionaries.
Lastly, the country sending the
missionaries derives local and secu.
lar influence from their presence in a
distant land. The priest, humble
though he may be, is Withal a power
in his own way, and his deeds reflect
credit and even glory on the power
that owns him as son."

THE LEPERS OF MOLOkAI AND
THE CATHOLIC FOREIGN MIS-
SION SEMINARY OF AMERICA.

The 1epers of Mo1okai are interested
in the establishment of Catholic For
eign Mission Seminary in this country.
The Sisters in charge are nearly all
Americans and have heard the news
with special pleasure.
Father Damien's successor, Father
Maxine, has written to the new
seminary special word of congratu-
lation in which he says: "You have
the goodwill and regard of all from
Pope Plus X down to the lowliest in
the household of the faith. Now that
the United States is so largely Cath
Ollie, the funds needed and the voca.
lions will come. l wish very much
that l could send you some money at
this period of your work, but with our
dear lepers-and we have good ones
we shall pray for you and for the
success of your institution. I have
already told the lepers of the work
and recommended it to their special
devotion"

ST. MARYS MISSION, WASHING
TON TERRITORY.

twenty-five years ago, in the Far
West, there was a wild country where
hardly a white man could be found,
where no laws existed and where God
was almost unknown. The Indian had
full liberty, and abandoned himself to
the domination of the medicine man,
and the religion of dreams.
Occasionally, during this period, a
missionary passed through the district
He baptized few Indians, but though
Catholics in name, they remained I'M
der the sway of the medicine man or
the dream prophet.
Under such conditions St. Marys
Mission was finally established, and a
definite and permanent apostolate be-
gun in that farsaken country of super
stitiOn and error.
The movement caused great conster-
nation among the dreamers and medi-
cine men. DeputatiOns we're sent to
the missionaries asking them to leave,
which invitation they refused to
accept The few Catholics rallied
around them, others were added, and
at length the converted Indians out
numbered the others.
A chapel became necessary, and a
school was badly needed to teach the
children the elements of religion and
learning A miserable building was
finally secured for this latter purpose
and a class of boys formed.
To aid in establishing the mission,
a number of ladies at length consented
to act as catechist missionaries. They
solicited aims and taught the children.
AS time went on two Christian Broth
ers came to take charge of the large
boys, and this school grew rapidly.
Little by little an advance was made
in the right direction, and now, after
twenty-five years hard struggle, the
Mission of st. Mary's possesses new
church, partly finished, convent for
the catechist missionaries to be COM
pleted, and a boys school, also but
partly erected.
1t will be seen that we have not yet
wholly emerged from our old state of
dilapidation, and until money for the
completion of these structures can be
obtained our enterprises are at. a
standstill.
The evil one is being forced to re-
tire from his stronghold. Shall we
not be able to claim a complete con-
quest?
We need some timely assistance
We are also always glad to receive
ladies anxious to devote their lives to
missionary work through the medium
of our Catechist Society.
Doubtless the readers of Catholic
Missions by their generosity will re
lieve the situation here in Washington
as they have elsewhere in like cases

TRIBUTE TO MISSIONARIES.

Bishop Hedley, a Protestant mis-
sionary, in his work, ''Tramps in Dark
Mongolia says that one cannot but
admire the self-abnegation that places
and keeps so many of our Catholic mis-
sionaries in regions where there are
no social amenities to cheer them nor
domestic joys to solace them. He adds
The Catholic bulletin. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1911-1995, 1912-09-07

it is still clear that the idyll of
Nazareth and the tragedy of Calvary
have power to make men equal to
many otherwise uncongenial tasks,
and while he cannot accept the dis
cipline of the Church, he quite un-
grudgingly admires the spirit that
directs and sustains the lives of her
missionaries.

TO SWAMP THE LORDS.
A Threat That Always Brings Eng.
lands Upper House to Terms.

A Threat That Always Brings Eng.
land's Upper House to Terms.
To override the veto Of the house Of
lords by wholesale creation of peers
is plan that has been often threat
ened, but hardly ever put into prac-
tice. II certainly places the king in a
very uncnyiable predicament-so much
so that In ITO, after crisis of the
kind, George l. caused to be intro
duced into the lords bill for limiting
the power of the sovereign to create
peers, a sort of royal self denying or.
dinance.
The measure was twice passed In the
lords. but twice rejected by the com
mons, which was lucky, for had II
been carried 1t would have made the
house of lords an almost Interchangeable
body, entirely beyond the control Of
king or minister or commons,
The nearest approach that was ever
made to "swamping the lords" was In
1882, when the fate of the great re-
form bill trembled in the balance. Over
and over again the measure had beer
| passed by the commons, only to be re
| jected by the lords. The country was
| furious. Payment of taxes was re
| fused. Riots broke out everywhere.
The prime minister, Lord Grey, wen
to the king and begged him to create
new peers to carry the bill. His maj
esty refused, and the ministry re-
signed. The king, however, presently
changed his mind and, fearing a revo
luton, agreed to the creation Of a hun.
dred new peers, 'or more IL necessary"
Then, very reluctantly, the upper house
gave way. and the bill became law

Tho Secretary Bird,

The long legged South African sec.
eetary birds travel in pairs, male and
female. If disturbed or pursued their
pace is about as fast as that Of run
ming horse. They seldom use their
wings and If compelled to do so can
soar to q considerable height. They
build bulky nests, and where trees are
to be had they select one fifty to a
hundred feet above the ground. Their
nests are built Of sticks and sods, lined
with grass, and measure as much as
five feet In diameter and three feet In
thickness. AS rule only two eggs are
laid. Incubation takes six weeks,
which is done by the female. The
young have to remain In their nests
several months before they can stand
on their long, slender legs, which are
very weak and brittle. The young
easily break their legs IL disturbed
