Hits Quakers Too.

They quoted from what he said
about the Quakers, that those who
would not fight were traitors to their
country.
''They said that when the farmers
and workmen and the QuakerS came to
know what Theodore Roosevelt had
written about them they would rise up
with wrath and Indignation and bury
Theodore Roosevelt beneath an ava
lanche of votes. They said that Roose-
welt would not answer that exposure Of
his views. and. Of course, he never did.
| agreed with them that it was the
proper thing to do to herald these ut
terances through the country.
AS to whether or not that sort of
campaigning had any effect the result
of the campaign eight years ago speaks
for itself.

that the Harvest, which belonged to
the Jews should be confined to them.
What was done for the Gentiles was
the seed-sowing, as represented in the
parable Of the Wheat and Tares.
In the Harvest of the Gospel Age the
reaping is to be done amongst those
who have received the seed-sowing.
This is an inrimation TO us that the
Lord would now have the harvesting
done chiefly amongst Ft1ose who profess
to be His people
Jesus specially instructed the reapers
of that Harvest that they should go
forth trusting to Divine providence.

GREENLAND Is REALLY GREEN.

Those who imagine that, in spite of
it's name, Greenland is a barren, white
waste, such as Arctic countries are
popularity supposed to be, will like to
learn that green is really a predomin-
ating color.
In fact, the land is simply a vast
nest of green mountains, covered with
snow, ice and glaciers. They are
known as live and dead glaciers; the
dead glaciers are a mass of snow and
ice which has accumulated between
gorges for a million years or more
and have become so condensed that
you could not penetrate the mass ex-
cept by steel drill.
The live glaciers are those that
break off and fall into the waters and
become floating masses of ice, often
inflicting damage to ships. Where
the sun can strike a spot, the trees,
which are of a dense growth, but
small, wear the most beautiful green.

FIRST MARTYR IN UNITED
STATES.

Three hundred and sixty-nine years
ago, Dec. 18th, seventy-eight years
before the Pilgrim Fathers landed at
Plymouth Rock, Kansas, gave to the
Christian Church it's first martyr in
what is now the United States. The
martyr was Franciscan priest
named Fra Juan de Padilla, massacred
by the Indians, whose body is buried
in the Mission Church of Isleta, in
New Mexico. A famous American his
torian says:
"The Catholic priest went even
before the soldier or the trader.
From lake to lake, from river to river,
the missionaries pressed on irresist-
IDLY, and with a power which no other
Christians have exhibited, won to the
faith the warlike Miamis and the
luxurious illinois,"
History of this sort has been re-
peated in every portion of the world,
and will be until the day dawns that
has not no more need of the messen-
ger of the Gospel and his abundant
and self-sacrifcing labor.

ONE GOOD RESULT FROM THE
HIGH COST OF LIVING.

The familiar plant of the high cost
OF living resounds often from our own
country, and is echoed from more dis
tant lands. 1t is considered the I'M
mitigated evil of the times, destroying
health, bringing suffering to innocent
children, disrupting homes, etc.
PARKWAY India, while giving every
opportunity to it's people to lead the
simple life, seems to suffer from this
same popular affliction. however,
though the results tend to further the
cause of religion there.
A missionary comments on the
signs of progress and moral awaken.
ing everywhere noticeable, and adds
that the high cost of living has re.
duced polygamy to such an extent
that monogamy is becoming the rule
among the common people.

LETTER FROM A MISSIONARY.

A letter from Rev. Joseph Menezes,
Ullal, India, gives few facts con-
corning his mission work:
Il have now three stations under
my direction, containing a good-sized
population. In one alone there are
about 1000 souls.
"These poor people are exposed to
many dangers, living as they do in
the midst of influential pagans and
Mohammedans. Often bad news
reaches me. Recently l was told
that one of them died without the sac
raments and was buried on the hills.
Public scandals are also very fire.
quent. 1t is the pagan custom to
sacrifice a sheep to the devil each
year. After the ceremony, the flesh
of the animal is eaten by the men in
a standing posture. To combat these
offensive habits and beliefs and estab-
lish Christianity, is no easy task even
for the most Jealous.
THE best means to accomplish this
end would be to build decent chapel,
with a house for the priest, so that a
resident missionary might give con-
tinual instruction, and offer Divine
Service to the converts regularly.
Often a Catholic Church and the
accompanying solemnities form a
great attraction for the natives.
Il have applied to the Government
for the grant of a few acres of land
for building purposes, and l am rely
ing on outside assistance for funds to
erect the necessary structures.
Il am placing the enterprise under
the protection of the Sacred Heart of
Jesus, and wish to do all for His
greater honor and glory. The altar
in the Chapel is also to be dedicated
to the Sacred Heart in which l place
my hope for success. Out of love for
souls, no doubt there are many who
would like to express their regard for
this particular devotion by sending
an offering to India. My poor people
will not forget to pray every Sunday
for the benefactors who made it pos
sible for them to share in the Holy
Sacrifice"

NATIVE JUSTICE IN THE PHILIP
PINES.

Missionaries state that as a rule
the inhabitants of the villages live
very peaceably, small conflicts and dis
cords being usually settled in neigh
borly fashion. Should a quarrel be-
come serious, however, there is a
native form of tribunal to which NAL
contents may have recourse if they
desire.
Each village has a court of law
made up of the ancients of the tribe,
and to which is sometimes invited,
through courtesy, the missionary, or
the master of the American school,
This venerable company dispenses
not only justice, but is prepared to
discuss the general interests of the
village, and even exchange some of
the choice morsels of gossip if other
affairs are not too pressing.
The court convenes in open air, the
court room consisting of collection
of huge rocks which serve as arm
chairs, or rather thrones for the i'm
portant personages present. In the
centre of the space is a huge fire,
making the scene of weird impress
siveness. Some of the means taken
to discover the guilt of the prisoners
brought before the tribunal are as
follows
The suspected persons are led be-
fore the ancients, and an operator
proceeds to make a small incfsion with
an instrument reserved for this pur-
Fpose, in the crown of the head. The
length of the wound is carefully meas
ured with bamboo stick in order to
show perfect impartiality. The blood
that flows is to decide the fate of the
culprits. The direction taken by the
drops, their color, abundance, etc.,
are eloquent Of innocent or guilt.
This form of examination is reserved
for the hardened criminals, who may
properly demand time and attention
| from the authorities.
Simpler cases have simpler methods
One that would commend itself of a
busy judge is the easy expedient OF
throwing the offenders into the river
The one who scrambles out in the
most excitement and most disar
ranged in clothing, is the malefactor
who could doubt it," say the
ancients.
A third test consists in forcing the
men to swallow a quantity Of dry
rice. He who, after disposing of his
bowl, shows the least saliva in his
mouth, accuses himself, ipso facto, Of
being the perpetrator of the crime in
question. If several others are dis
covered to have likewise threats anC
mouths as parched as burned wood
they are declared accomplices. The
sentences melted out by the tribuna
vary between fines of money, or labor
in rice fields for certain specified
time. Happily the question of CAPT
tai punishment has not to be dis
cussed.

SALT MINES IN AFRICA.

In certain parts of Africa, some
very curious and valuable formations
of salt are found. Those of French
Soudan are among the most remark
able, but large quantities lie in the
Sahara Desert at Taoudeni. The salt
is deposited in layers about two inches
thick, and is cut in bars a yard in
length and foot wide for transporta-
ton. 1t is carried away On the backs
of camels and sometimes the salt
caravans number as many as five
hundred camels.
1t is needless to state the worth of
this commodity as an article of ex-
change and barter. Sometimes a
bar brought ten or twelve dollars in
the days before marine salt was in
troduced, and even now it's price is
high enough to make it a safe com.
mercial investment. 1t was not until
1904 that marine salt was used to any
extent in Africa.
Missionaries, when starting out on
an expedition into the interior, usu
ally bring a package of salt with them
to be distributed among the natives
as little offerings of friendship. This
great necessity of life will, in fact
purchase almost anything, even the
hearts of the poor negroes.
Back in the sixteenth century 2
fierce war was waged between Mo
rocco and the kings of certain mines
In Saoudeni. Morocco was the vic
tor and managed the salt district unit
the end of the eighteenth century
when its power was ousted from the
country.

The reason is certainly potent
one, especially in a region often send
ing out reports of famines caused by
floods, droughts or insects that de-
stroy the crops. Christianity often
makes more Roadway during time of
distress than in periods of affluence,
and the teachers of the Faith will not
be slow to take advantage of this step
toward more civilized mode of life.
