A MARTYR TO HER FAITH.

FIR. Robert, VIII. F., sends this touch
ing example of how poor native wo-
man of Tanganika, Equatorial Africa,
braved death rather than disobey the
laws of the Christian religion:
anna Mizingo had lost her husband,
and according to the pagan custom,
she now reverted as heritage to the
nearest relative of her deceased hus-
band.
This person, named Muyakumbi,
already had a wife, and it therefore
became matter of conscience for the
widow to declare that she could not
break the commandments of God by
marrying Muyakumbi. She then ex.
pressed herself in these words:
Without doubt am part of your
goods and chattels, but in my quality
as Christian l cannot become your
wife. Moreover, l am forty years old
and beg you to allow me to live the
rest of my days in peace with my
children
Christian or pagan, young or old,
responded the brute, you are mine
and you must marry me-
Three months passed in threats and
arguments, but the woman remained
firm in her decision. At last the pagan
said one morning to his neighbors, II
is necessary that l kill someone to
day. and he set out in the direction
of Annals village. Arrived there, he
went at once to the poor wonlan's hut
"I am going to kill you,' was his
greeting; yes or no; are you going tc
marry me or not?'
"'I will never marry you,' was the
reply.
"The words were hardly uttered
when the pagan threw himself upor
his victim. Anna shrieked and sought
to escape, but the pagan thrust his
huge knife into her bosom, inflicting g
mortal wound.
'The suffering creature lived a few
days in great agony, during which she
did not cease to utter sentiments oil
the profoundest faith and resignation
Her death was an edifying example tc
the village"

MOTOR CHAPEL st. PETER"
STOPS PICTURE SHOW.
THE MOVIES HAD TO QUIT WHEN
THE MISSION COMMENCED.

The motor chapel "St. Peter" is on
it's maiden trip, and it is stirring up
things down in Texas with a youthful
vigor. The Oblates of Mary Immacu-
late used it for a weeks mission at
one of their stations, and the whole
population crowded to the services.
And as the town is not metropolis,
not even for Texas, there were few
left to go to the moving picture show,
so the management wisely decided to
close I'D the theatre until after the
mission. The people attended en-
masse, as many as 900 people COM
ing to the evening services. The Fa-
theirs are plainly delighted with the
success they have had with the motor
chapel.
The Catholic Church Extension So
ciety secured this gift for the mis-
sions to Catholics located in isolated
districts far removed from the rail-
roads. 1t was donated by a woman
who has the cause of the Master at
heart, and it is the first car of this
kind to be used in this country, al

The Mexicans of Texas are the poor

gainsaying this. The Protestant prop

has not been slow to discover the
weakest link in the system of the
Catholic Church here. The Baptists
especially are spending time and
money on the neglected Catholics of
Texas, and too often there is the sad
story to tell of the Mexicans turning
away from the Church whose people
have done so little for them.
Notwithstanding the neglect of
years, the opportunity of worshipping
God is eagerly embraced by them.
During the mission, the Masses were

ty-five people received Holy Commu-
MON daily. This is indeed saying
much for the fertility of their souls.
"The Mexicans are silent during
services and most respectful" said

Some persons seem to have eyes
only for the disagreeable things that
happen to come into their lives; they
forget or overlook their blessings, and
brood over their trials and misfor-
tunes. The soothing line in "The Rainy
Day; Behind the clouds is the sun
stiIl shining" does not comfort them.
Stevenson says:

prison bars;
