"Henry's such a humorist," Mrs.
Sherbert explained. HE has a teIe.
scope which squirts water in your
eye when you try to look through IL
trick bouquet with a pin in it, and
his pockets always are filled with
trick pencils and fountain pens.
Henry had squawker which
sounded like kitten when he sat on
it, and he had mamma looking under
the sofa, the bookcase and everything
TO find to find the kitten. Mamma
complained to me and Henry was
real nice about being comic until at
dinner today. Then he put something
under the fioating-island pudding
bowl, and when mamma lifted the
bowl to serve the pudding a toy cap
went off with a bang.
"Oh, no, Henry didn't throw the
pudding at ali. He was sitting at the
opposite end of the table from mamma
with his back to the window, and
mamma was so provoked when the
cap went off she threw the pudding
at Henry"

PerVerse Agitators.

Would that perverse and inhuman
agitators, spured on for their own sell
fish ends, ceased in their vain efforts
to convince the multitude that heaven
is dream, eternity a delusion and
hell priestly scare, thereby violating
the human conscience. Let men be
convinced there is no God, then there
is no restraint to the torrent of mi
guilty. What reason is there for men
to waste their energy for their fellow
men, if they must die like brutes that
roam the fields? Extinguish in the
human soul the hope of future life
and the belief in general judgment,
then what power will calm the en-
ragged multitude? Humanity must
possess pleasure in fact, or in hope;
otherwise in rebellion it will seek
hope.

Happiness.

Let workingmen understand that
happiness is distinct from money.
Happiness ofttimes reigns better in
the hut than in the marble palace.
Men of wealth frequently live sadly
and die sadly. Wealth cannot fill the
aching void that makes life weary.
The poor of Christ generally pass out
of this vale of tears joyfully, awaiting
to meet Him, whom they served in sea-
son and out of season. Complete sur
render to God is the royal road to
eternal and temporal happiness. Mans
nature must be spiritualized. His spir-
itual wants far exceed, in Importance,
his material wants. The true religion
of Christ alone, as taught in the Catho-
lie Church, possesses the secret of
mitigating mems woes, binding up his
wounds and smoothing over the
troubles of life. The Catholic Church
the standard of truth and the true
bearer of Christ's moral code and the
truest friend of the workingman has
within her bosom the sovereign rem.
edy for the social discomfort, in pro
noting the betterment of the world
by the law of Christ The Church
teaches neither hatred for the rich
nor contempt for the poor, nor disre'
gard for legitimate authority. The
Church will make the poor more con
tented and the rich more considerable
that which no human power can &C.
complish. No love but the love OF
Christ, as preached by the Catholic
Church can drive the greed out of men

SLAVES STILL TO BE RANsoMED

A Holy Ghost missionary, FIR. Pat
ron, relates this little incident to show
the value of money sent to Africa for
the purpose of freeing slaves:
about a year ago undertook an
excursion into the jungle to seek chill
dren for our school, and to prepare
persons seriously sick for the recep.
tion of baptism. 1 was just leaving
a village, where, to tell the truth,
had not been too warmly received
when a woman of about twenty years
flung herself at my feet
what do you want?' I inquired.
Father, l want to learn about the
good God; I want to go to the mis-
SION
THAT is right; but where is your
chief, and what will he say?'
eat that moment a furious man
brandishing a gun, rushed upon US
1t was the master, the lord of the
poor woman. He was about to at
tack, perhaps to kill her, when she
took to her heels and sped away to
the mission.
The Catholic bulletin. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1911-1995, 1913-02-01

ut became our part to arrange af-
fairs with the chief. The outcome of
the discussion was that promised to
indemnify him for the loss of his
slave by the payment of twenty-five
dollars.
"The sad part of it all is that l am
still owing this sum and do not know
where to procure it. The ransomed
slave has already received baptism
and displays great intelligence in the
study of her religion"
