You Saw Me.

A tramp stopped at a prosperous
looking country house and asked for
food.
Certainly you may have It," replied
the owner, whom he happened to ad-
dress, land If you will saw some wood

might be at it while the breakfast is
being prepared" And he led the tramp
to the wood pile.
Presently, when the meal was ready,
he went to call the tramp, but found
he had disappeared. Near the wood
pile fluttered little white paper. He
picked it up and read the scrawled
words:

right, avoiding all irreverence and
vulgarity. The man who is seeking
to around out his character and devel-

DIOCESE OF LEAD.
BISHOP BUSCH'S LETTER ON
CATECHETICAL INSTRUCTION.
To the Priests and Faithful of the
Diocese of Lead.
Beloved Brethren:

Beloved Brethren:
If those who enjoy all the possible
advantages of religion are often ex-
tremely anxious, and that with good
reason, for the future, especially the
spiritual welfare of their children, how
much more reason have we to grow
alarmed who are deprived of SO many
of the ordinary consultations and helps
of religion.
In order to make it possible for
Catholics to keep the Faith under ex-
listing conditions, we must do all in
our power, at whatever sacrifice, to see
that young and old are well instructed
in the teachings and practices of the
church.
l therefore direct that in all Mis-
sions and Stations, Catechetical in
struction precede the celebration of
the Mass and urge that both children
and adults be encouraged to take part
therein.
1 also request that well instructed
men and women be selected to act as
Catechists, in addition to the instruc-
lions given by the priest. If it is pos
sible to find Catechists among the
Indians, it surely is not impossible
among your flock to find both women
and men who are able and willing to
assist in this most necessary work.
also desire that classes be formed
for the older children up to the time
of their maturity and that these be
assisted to instruct themselves
through good books, papers and maya.
zines.
Wherever Catholic school is avail
able it were a grievous sin not to send
children there as long as possible.
urge those parents who can do so, to
send their children to Catholic Board.
ing Schools and especially recommend
the Sisters School at Sturgis, tc
parents who have children to be pre-
pared for First Holy Communion and

The teaching of religion being sc
important a matter, l shall feel it my
duty to subject all candidates for Con
f1rmation to very thorough exami
nation and by this standard shall judge
of the sincerity of priests and parents
in the discharge of their sacred duties
for as the Savior Himself has said
what you do to the least of these, yoJ
have done to Him.
Praying God to bless your zealou:

strength of faith and the generosity
of his people, is so great that he sees
no difficulty in erecting and finishing
the new church within year. The

to his people in so short time and
is so sanguine of success.
While planning for every commend

He has determined. to being all the
stray sheep back to the fold, to
strengthen the faith of the young, to
make parish societies valued aids in
fostering in his people the qualities
of mind, heart and soul that make
exemplary Catholics. His wide ex-
perience has shown him wherein
Catholics should join hands to be of
most benefit to their needy and I'M
fortunate brethren, and being DESTROYS
that his people take broad view of

city spoke for the citizens of Marshall

faith, he assured Father Jordan that
there are no Professionals in Marshall

Around the banquet table that even

GERMAN CARDINAL IN CURII

Considerable interest has been Gre
ated in Rome recently by an article in
the Koelnische Zeitung, which is re-
garded as the mouthpiece of the Ger
man Foreign Office, advocating the ap-
pointment of German Cardinal in
Curia- The reasons advanced for this
are that at present German Catholic
affairs are not well understood In
Rome, and that no German prelate
now residing in Rome ID sufficiently
familiar with these affairs to give
sound advice as to the appointment Of
bishops in Germany.
