CHURCH EXTENSION SOCIETY
ANNUAL REPORT SHOWS THAT
THE PAST YEAR WAS THE
MOST SUCCESSFUL IN IT'S
DRY CASH RECEIPTS
AMOUNTED TO $282,sso.

The annual meeting of the Board
of Governors of the Catholic Church
Extension Society took place recently
in Chicago. The different reports
read at this meeting showed that the
past year was the most successful in
the history of the organization.
The total cash receipts of the So
ciety for the year amounted to 1882,
1887, an increase of $4,000 and OF
100000, respectively, over receipts OF
the two preceding years. Receipts
other than cash amounted to $780,
exclusive of the church goods do
mated during the year, which are
valued at $4,000. Nor does this include
the Max Pam donation of $685. to
the Catholic University which repre-
sents five scholarships at that insti-
tuition for missionary dioceses, the
holders to be selected by the Catholic
Church Extension Society.
The Society spent $23,834.27 for
missionary work during the year and
has reserves in cash, stocks and
bonds, notes, loans, real estate, ETC.,
amounting to $685., 1903 with no ac-
tual liabilities.
The Second Missionary Congress
held in Boston during the month of
October, besides paying the actual
expenses connected with it, brought
in subscriptions to the Society amount
ing to $4,000.
The two publications of the Society
Extension Magazine and the Child
Apostle-are steadily increasing in
circulation. The former has upwards
of 100000 subscribers and the latter
has an actual circulation of $4,000.
The children to whom it appeals have
built three memorial chapels and have
on hand $854.09 in the different chapel
funds.
The chapel cars are doing splendid
in the different localities in which
they are operating. The Women's
Auxiliary is valuable adjunct to the
Society and has brought considerable
funds into the treasury. 1t has $50
active branches, gain of forty per
cent over the two previous years COM
b1ned. The Intention Department
takes care of poor priests on the mis-
sions whom it supplies with Mass in
tentions and thus provides means of
livelihood which would otherwise be
wanting in the majority of cases.
The detailed report of the Society
and it's various activities will be laid
in the hands of its Cardinal Protector
in Rome by the President, the Very
Reverend F. G. Kelley, LII. D., who
is now on his way to the Eternal City.

completion of a decade of devoted

the coming years than it has been
in the past.

A TEMPERANCE REGIMENT.

Captain John Dwyer, who served in
the 63rd New York during the Civil
War, writes to America" to tell of
temperance society established in
that regiment by Father Dillon, a.
member of the Holy Cross order, who
left Notre Dame University at the
beginning of the great conflict to
become an army chaplain. Captain
Dryer writes: when our regiment
(63rd N. Y.) was in camp on David's
Island On the eve of
breaking camp for the front Ode
cember, 1861, while at Mass the
chaplain delivered an impressive SER
mon on the subject of Temperance
1t was caused by the fact that several
OF the men, like many new soldiers,
were not models of sobriety. The
good chaplain's audience of seven or
eight hundred men was visibly af-
fected by his remarks. He proposed
then and there to form a Temper
ance Society of the 63rd Regiment for
the war, and all who were willing to
join to come forward towards the
altar. Ninety per cent of his hearers
did so, and officers were elected. Sub
sequently, and while in Camp Cali
fornia, in front of Alexandria, Va,
handsome medal was struck, and
given to every member.
How long did it last? All were
not ironclad temperance men after
wards, but to my certain knowledge
many were, and had cause to bless
the popular and enthusiastic Chaplain
Dillon for his famous sermon on Tenn
perance'"

The Sacred Heart Review of
Boston celebrated it's Silver Ju-
bilee by presenting $4,000 to the
Holy Father for the main altar in
the Basilica of the Holy Cross
which is being erected in Rome
to commemorate this year of
Jubilee. This fund was obtained
from the readers of the Review
We congratulate the Sacred Heart
Review of this evidence of appre-
citation on the part of its readers,
as well as on the completion of
twenty-five years of yeoman serv-
ice in the cause Of Catholicity. It
has reason to be proud of this
latest achievement for the good
of religion. The new altar will
speak to succeeding ages of the
zeal and enterprise of our Eastern
contemporary and the generosity
of its loyal friends.

The near approach of Christmas
bids us make a more thorough
scrutiny of our spiritual life in
order that we may profit to the
fullest degree by the coming of
the Babe of Bethlehem. Prayer,
meditation, self-denial, self-exam-

spiration Of divine grace will
enable us to reach heights of
spiritual perfection whence we
may view the beauties of that
promised land of peace and good
will to which the Saviour points
the way.

By all means let the people of
California insist upon placing in
the Hall of Fame at the National
Capital a statue of Father Juni-
pero Sierra, the pioneer missionary,
who planted the mustard seed of
Catholicity in the virgin soil of
that state two centuries ago. He
is entitled to a niche beside
Father Marquette. Father Sierra
should have no competitor for
this tribute of recognition from
a people who appreciate his great
ness and worth.

The Living Church, an Episco-
palian weekly, pays a compliment
to the Catholic chaplain corps
when it says: "The greater eff
cheney of the Roman Catholic
chaplain over many others in the
service, Of which we have often
heard, is due to the fact that no
appointment is made from among
the Roman clergy without first
securing the endorsement Of Car
dinal Gibbons"

ESKIMO HOSPITALITY.
A Dinner Drama That illustrates

A custom OF the Eskimos, which IL
lustrates in striking manner the
character of the people, is thus de-
scribed by DR.. S. X. Hutton in his
work. Among the Eskimos of Labra-
dor:"
st was a queer dinner party. The
table was pushed into the corner and
Uttered us usual with c.othes and books
and relics of work hastily laid aside.
Dinner was spread on the floor. The
center of the feast was an enormous
pot. heaped with Jumps and slabs and
ribs and joints of raw seal meat.
Round the pot the family squatted.

of flesh or gnawing ut bones, they
munched and chewed and smacked
their lips with great relish.

shuffiing step passing the window. The
footsteps turned into the porch. and
heard the dogs yelping as somebody
cleared them out of the way. A crop.

silently opened. A voice said. 'Aksuse'

warmth. Nobody seemed to take much
notice. but John gave a laconic 'Ah!'
in answer to his greeting. and the cir
Gle widened to make room for the new
conner.
"Apkik sat down and pulled a knife
out of his belt. I watched him pity
ingly as he helped himself with lean
and shaking fingers. 1t was not long
before he was satisfied. for he was
sadly listless and weary. and with
simple 'Nakomek he wiped his knife
upon his trousers leg and slowly went
out. Again nobody took much notice.
John said 'Ah" and Apkik shut the
door after him.

there. Each was anxious to beat the
other. so very early one morning King
George hurried off toward the pool in
the hope of catching the salmon before
his niece was up.
To his surprise he found the princess
strolling beside the river, and she i'm
mediately began to cross examine him
as to what he was doing there so early
with his fishing tackle. In the end the
king had to admit rather shamefaced
ly that he had intended to steal a
march on her and try to catch the elu-
sive salmon before she was up.
The princess read him very severe
lecture on what she called his un-
sportsmanlike behavior and extracted
from him an admission that he was
sorry. Then. with smile of triumph
she showed him her own fishing tackle
and the big salmon lying behind rock
on the bank She had been up just a
little before her uncle. had caught the
salmon and had hidden it when she
saw him coming.-London Tit-Bits.
