WHAT ONE MAN DID.

Accounts from Bishops and mission
aries are coming in from all quarters
and the figures, though in some In
stances seemingly small, represent
the sacrifices and hard work of these
good men. In some cases the ngures
are astonishingly large, II the conol-
tions in which they were made be con-
sidered. For example, Father BRAND
of Bangalore, India, sends RECORD
that is very creditable, and after read
ing il the wonder is how he accom-
plished so much with such unpromls'
ing material. He+baptiZed during the
mast wear 3O1 heathens; 8 when dying
and also 80 children in danger OF
death. He also had time to INSTRUCT
and baptize rs Professionals. The lat

A COMPARISON.

The Independent quotes from for
eign source a comparison of Pro-
testant and Catholic foreign mission
ary work. The comparison is from a
Catholic journal. 1T has been COM
puted that the 2OO,OOO,OOO Catholics
contribute about $5,000,OOO annually
for mission purposes, while the 16O,-
100000 Professionals contribute $2o,-
100000. This is an average of eight
pfennigs for each Catholic, but more
than six times that much for each
Protestant. This greater degree OF
liberality on the part of the Pro-
testants is to large extent caused
by the superior organization of the
latter. Especially do the mission con-
ferences and regular congregational
mission festivals in common vogue
among the Professionals do much to
make the mission cause popular among
them. and these auxiliaries could with
advantage be adopted by the Catholic
churches, too. The number OF mis-
sion workers in the foreign fields OF
the Protestant is 45,622; on the
Catholic side 34,454 1t is true that
the Catholic Church reports no fewer
than 30,414 mission stations, Whlle
the Protestants count only 300; but
to counterbalance this the latter have
1921 schools with S67,4OO pupils
while the Catholics have 1864
schools with 79O,88O pupils.

A NEW ROOF FOR AN OLD
CHURCH.

Out in town called Jemez, in the
State of New Mexico, there is little
church whose age may roughly be
calculated as one hundred and fifty
years. 1t was built by the early
Spanish Franciscans, when they came
to preach the Gospel to the Indians
and has been in constant use ever
since. The country and the people
too, have changed much since that
time, but the little edifice, though in
need of repair, bravely withstands
the wear and tear of the years and
remains a touching memorial to the
enterprise and devotion of those pic.
neer priests.
It's present pastor is also Fran
ciscan Friar and it is his ambition to
surmount the old walls with a new
corrugated roof. The leaks in the
present covering render some i'm
provement a pressing necessity, and
when once in place, such a roof will
last for an indefinite period The
Indian congregation are able to con
tribute almost nothing for purposes
of this kind, and the Father has ven
tured to make his wants known else
where, trusting to those interested in
the mission work of our own country
to help preserve this ancient place oil
worship.
Other difficulties also beset him, fol-
he says in his letter, 1--WE are an
noyed very much by the action of the
Protestant missionaries here, who are
trying hard to entice our converts
away from us. Since the Sisters
were included in the rules of Civil
Service, the Presbyterians have open
ed a new school, and would like tc
gain the Indians at Jemez. Thus fan
they have not succeeded, for which we
are devoutly thankful"

A GOOD SUGGESTION.

One of the greatest of religious
problems in this country is the pres
ervation of their Faith to scattered
peoples in pioneer districts. Protes-
tants have arrived at solution OF
this problem for themselves, through
the immense amount of money contrib
uted in a systematic way to their
Home Mission and Church Extension
work; but for us the problem remains
to be solved.
The Catholic Church Extension Soci-
ETY. has helped, to certain extent by
making centers through chapel build
ing, but a great deal more is needed
before the scattered stations, which
the chapels have advanced to the
rank of missions, can be allowed to
shift for themselves. No one can
possibly realize the disadvantage I'M
der which a Bishop labors in secur-
ing regular services of the Church for
these poor places. The number of
Catholic families is small; they are
usually poor, because pioneering; they
people are ours already, and there are
thousands and thousands and thou
sands of them. To keep them in the
Church, or rather to keep the Church
from deserving them, is a task worth
while. They want religion. They well
come the priest
Bishop Busch of Lead, S. D., feels
keenly his difficulties in caring for his
own scattered flock. He ventured last
month, writing to the Church Exten-
sion Society, to offer this suggestion:
I'VE have but three parishes in the
diocese without missions attached. In
all the other places the priest has an
immense territory to visit, making it
necessary to hurry from place to place
in order not to make his visitors too
rare. We could secure more priests
to relieve this necessity, as we have
frequent applications from priests
seeking mission work, but we cannot
support a larger number than we have
and can hardly find the means requis.
tie to secure the necessaries for these.
IN racking my brain for proper expedi-
ents it occurred to me that possibly
some large parishes would be glad to
adopt one of our little missions and
supply what would enable a priest to
give it one week of his time every
month until it becomes self-support.

BAGAMOYO.

The Right Rev. F. X. Vogt, c. S. Sp.
writes a very interesting letter con-
corning the Cabin Schools of his Apos-
tolic Vicariate.
''The negroes here are slow to COM
prehend spiritual things, it is neces-
sary to repeat the catechism lessons
to them many times, and to visit the
stations as often as possible. If the
instructions of the missionary are IN
terrupted for any long interval he
usually finds that he has to begin his
teaching all over again.
Mohammedanism is making great
strides in this country, and we have
to contend arduously against it. Pro
testantism, also, is gaining ground
among the natives of Bagamoyo.
On the one hand it is impossible for
missionary to personally evangellze
an extensive district; on the other,
the need of pushing the work is ur-
gent.
To lessen the dangers of this situa-
ton, the apostles in this country have
founded in various centers OF the
native population, cabin-schools. A
young convert, who has had better
opportunity to become instructed than
his fellows, daily gathers the children
of the village together in this humble
school and, for an hour or two, teaches
them the catechism. If he has learn
ed to read and write, he also instructs
his pupils in these branches as we'll
Adults frequently attend the school at
special hours appointed for them by
the teacher.
On Sundays and holidays, the cate
chist conducts his catechumens to the
services at the chapel Of the station
if he cannot take them to the church
at the mission headquarters. On the
Sundays when the missionary cannot
come to the station to celebrate the
HOLY Sacrifice of the Mass, the cate
chist reads the prayers for the little
congregation and leads in the singing
of the hymns. If there is no chapel
he assemblies the group of converts in
the school for the Sunday devotions.
Some of our catechists instruct from
eighty to one hundred adult catechu
mems at time, while in each school
there are at least fifty children as pu
pills, often a much larger number.
It costs about fifteen dollars to build
one of these cabin-schools, and the
support of the eatechist and expenses
of each school amount to thirty dollars
a year.
Our larger schools, in native towns
situated at distance from the mis-

sion headquarters, are erected at the
cost of one hundred dollars. A build
ing of this kind serves also for a
chapel, and affords lodging for the
missionary, who sometimes remains
several weeks at the station, celebrat-
ing Mass frequently, baptising the
catechumens who are prepared to re-
ceive the sacrament of regeneration,
and continuing the instruction of cate
chumens and neophytes. At such
times, the catechumens from the
schools in the neighboring villages
come to Mass and other services in
the cabin-school chapel"

Is wrongfully withholding Monticello
from the American public in violation
of his uncle's last testament. To trace
the history of this accusation it is
necessary to go back to the time of the
death of Commodore Levy, whose right
to Monticello by purchase was not
questioned.
In his will the commodore left Mon
ticello to the nation, to be used "for
the sole and only purpose Of maintain
ing at said farm of Monticello, in Vir-
ginia, an agricultural school for the
purpose of educating, as practical
farmers, children of the warrant off,

fathers are dead" But should the con-
gress Of the United States refuse to ac-
cept the bequest or fail to take the
necessary steps to carry out the testa-
tors intention, then the estate was
devised to 'the people Of the state of
