IN NEED OF TEACHING SISTERS.

The Benedictine Sisters under the
immediate direction and supervision
of the Right Rev. Bishop Matz, of
Denver, Col, and the Rev. Father
Liciotti, of Walsenburg, Col, desire to
make known the great and urgent
need of religious teachers in the
Western Catholic schools, and particu-
larly in Walsenburg.
A magnificent schoolhouse has been
built and equipped with the latest
and best modern improvements, and
yet has stood idle for the last year
because no Sisters could be found to
undertake the work. The whole city,
with a population of 5000 families,
Protestant and Catholic, crave for a
Sisters school and hospital. There
is no hospital of any kind in the
whole place, so any one can easily
see the great field for Catholic zeal.
The Sisters, therefore, appeal to
those with music, hospital and teach
ing qualifications as well as house
hold skill to consider this vast field
of opportunities and hope that many
will correspond to work for God in
this neglected part of the West. Ap-
plications may be made to the Right
Rev. Bishop Matz, of Denver; the Rev.
Father Liciotti, pastor of Walsenburg,
or the Benedictine Sisters of Walsen-
burg, Col.

IN A CHINESE SEMINARY.

The glory of the Catholic Church is
her Catholicity. She is not Church
of one race or for one color, but from
the very day of her foundation she
has been reaching out to gather into
her fold human souls of every race
and of every cline.
In the spirit of the Church our mis-
sionaries labor to establish the Cath
Ollie Church amongst a people, and,
this accomplished, they pass on to
other races and to other lands to
bring the light of the gospel. AS soon
as conditions warrant it, therefore,
the missionary Bishop establishes a
seminary. 1t begins, generally, in
poverty, and struggle and sacrifice
marks its progress. The seminary of
North Ho-nan is an example of the
average missionary seminary.
AS in the early years of the Church,
the seminary is the Bishops house.
Situated on an eminence outside the
city of Wei Hwei the building itself
| is nothing to boast of, though it com
bines the first requisites for good
schoolhouse; it has plenty of light
and air. Another feature, and one
that surprises the natives, is the large
yard for outdoor games that sur
rounds the school A sound mind in
sound body is the Bishops prin-
ciple, one that is new to the Chinese
who never make an unnecessary
movement. When they see the sem.
inarians doing gymnastic feats OF
playing football, therefore, they gaze
on in establishment and remark to one
another that the young men must
have changed their very nature when
they entered the seminary.
Study, of course, holds the first
place with the youthful aspirant fol-
the priesthood. Chinese and Latin
are the first studies in the seminary
then come history, geography, arith
metic, writing and singing; the eccle
siastical sciences come later, during
the five years preceding ordination,
One entering the class rooms of the
seminary would remark the absence
of the maps, pictures, ETC., that are
characteristic of European and Ameri
can schools. The reason for this is
the old, old missionary reason
poverty. The Bishop desires also tt
add the studies of chemistry anC
physics to the curriculum, but has MOI
the means to fit out a laboratory.
China has been sleeping giant
but the giant is awakening with a new
life thrilling through his every mem
ber In that new life Christianity viii
have its share, indeed is having it:
share, and the seminary is becoming
more and more part of the spiritua
life of every diocese in the land Tht
people are turning to the Church a:
never before, and the native clergy
will have to bear a larger part of the
burden of the work of evangelizatio1
with each year. The foresight ant
the sacrifices of the missionary
Bishops have made this possible, ant
the outlook for the Church is there
fore very bright.

STUDENTS FOR FOREIGN
MISSIONS.

American aspirants to the foreign
missions may today find an outlet for
their zeal.
Some of the religious Orders and
Societies, notably the Franciscans,
Jesuits, Holy Ghost Fathers, the Con
gregation of Notre Dame, the Broth
ers of Mary, La Salette Fathers and
the Society of the Divine Word, are
beginning to provide subjects for the
field.
We note, too, with interest that the
newly formed American Foreign Mis-
sion Seminary at Maryknoll, Ossining
N. Y, began it's second year on
September IA, taking students fo1
philosophy and theology.
This Seminary also opened an Apos
tolic School in Scranton, Pa, Septem
Der 8, under the name of the Blessed
Venard Apostolic School for Foreign
Missions.
Boys over fourteen years of age
and up to twenty-one will be received
at this house if they are well recon-
mended by a priest and have an in
clination to the foreign missions.
Such youths are encouraged tt
write to the Seminary Directors al
Maryknoll, the address of which we
have given above.

There's romance enough at home,

THE HIERARCHY SPEAKS.

The Second Plenary Council of
Baltimore uttered no words of deeper
import than those recommending to
the Bishops and their clergy, the Re-
ligious Orders and their laity, the
conversion of the Negro. It's language
is so earnest and energetic as to re-
mind one of the letters of ST. Francis
Xavier from the Indies. The Bishops
whom the Holy Ghost has placed
to rule the Church of Cod are still
of the same mind. They yearn to see
the aid of the whole Catholic body
enlisted for this great cause in such
public and permanent form, as
would bring missionaries to the work
from every diocese and money from
every parish in our country.

DIOCESE OF zAMBoANoo.

Bishop O'Doherty gives the follow
ing striking summary of the condition
of his diocese of Zamboango, in the
Philippine Islands.
1. 1t is one of the largest and
newest diocese under the U. S. A. Flag,
it's first Bishop having taken posses
sion, in September, 1912.
2. 1t is one-third of the Philippines
in area, 600 miles from North to
South, 600 miles from East to West,
and includes 800 different islands,
8. Local history is, three centuries
of bloody encounters with the Moros
or Mohammedans: nor is travelling
alone universally safe even at the
present day.
4. This diocese includes all the
warlike Moros of Sulu, etc., and most
of the pagans of the whole Philippine
Islands.
5. Our Catholics are generally poor
they have been more interested in
protecting their lives than in
amassing wealth.
6. We have only seventy priests to
cover an area of 100000 square miles,
and this cut up in 800 separate
islands, in typhoon swept seas.
z. We have not sufficient priests to
attend to the Catholics (300,O00),
much less to reach all the pagans:
though our priests are most anxious
to give up their parishes and go into
the mountains, if l can get other
priests to replace them.
8. Some parishes, formerly of ten
and $4,000 souls have been without
permanent priests since 1898; as a
result found, when came here, that
some $4,000 Catholics had become
AglipayAn heretics, for want of priests
to sustain and instruct them.
8. Under American Rule, many
settlers from the northern Philippine
Islands are pouring into this diocese
but we have no priests to send them
10. We have many American
planters of hemp, cocoa-nuts, etc., but
the majority are non-Catholic.
II. We have not single diocesan
institution: no hospital, seminary, col
lege, high school or asylum of any
kind
II. Half of the children die before
the age of five, for want of care
though the land is fertile and the
climate excellent.
Is. We are dependent on the CHART!
of Protestant missionaries for hos
pitfalls; who, it must be confessed, arr
most anxious to have Catholics to 81
to their institutions.
IA. In time we shall have
descendants of many Americans ant
millions of Filipinos. Now we can de
eide what religion shall be theirs.
Is. Help us in the beginning, ant
then, please God, we shall be able tt
take care of ourselves. Send us sub
scription to repair our churches, pu
up a few dispensaries and get homes
for poor children: above all speak tt
apostolic men to relieve our creates
need, that of priests who will give
spiritual food to the many souls tina
are perishing through lack of it.

''Not that the light of the Catholic
Church is hid under a bushel 1t is
the only religion that overawes by a
mysterious power, which is its divine
light. In the eyes of the most en-,
lightened of the nations leaders, it is
China's sole hope; it's self-denial, the
only cure for the universal selfishness
which opposes the existence of pros
porous state. But the dearth of Eng
lish speaking Catholic missionaries
handicaps the Church in it's strenu
Gus endeayor to keep abreast with
Protestant missionaries in the van
guard of progress of China's awakened
millions"

CHURCH HANDICAPPED.
Lack Of EngIish-speaking Priests
In China Keenly Felt.

"China's choice of the English Ian
guage as second only to the national
tongue and its use as medium of
education has given an overwhelming
advantage to the Anglo-American
Protestant missionaries, denied in a
great measure to the Catholic priests
of the Latin races, says Rev. Hugh
Scallan. Shensi, China.
Their schools, colleges and uni
versities overflow with students; the
output of their press mandates the

Mother Agatha looked beyond the
hills toward the land of plenty she
had left, and then down into the val
ley where she could see the starving
children lying listlessly about. What
could she do!
She recalled Palem, sweet orphan
ed child beloved of all, who had wish
ed to stay with them always. But like
most Hindu girls the little one had
been betrothed in infancy and at four
teen had been claimed by the seven
teen year old groom, who would not
release her. That was five years ago.
In the atmosphere of idolatry she had
kept her faith sweet and her heart
close to Mary! And now Palem's child
was waiting in the valley below.
Quickly Mother Agatha went down
the hill, giving kindly word, sooth.
ing pat to the suffering ones about her
Inside the house, on table, lay her
feast day gift-a little, brown bit of a
thing, laughing and cooling as if all
was well with the world. A ray OF
hope the promise of better things, the
babe seemed, and for the moment
hunger, toll and care were forgotten
Mother Agatha took the child in he1
arms, carried it to the altar and pre-
sented it as Mary had Jesus, to God
He would provide.
That night the rains fell; a cry Of
relief went up through the land, sleeT
came, and Gods peace held the little
community in it's loving embrace.
Mother Agatha smiled. She saw 6
vision of her own land in it's luxury
and comforts land where there is
no dread of awful famine, no fear Of
pestilence. She saw the plying smile
her friends had given her as she LEFT
them so long ago. And she prayed
from her grateful heart that Goo
would reveal to them as He had tt
her His universal love for souls.
She took another peep at the babe
(Theodora-gift of God-she would
call her) and then, exhausted, fel
asleep with the divine promise ring
ing in her ears: I'm as much as W
do it unto the least of these, My little
ones, We do it unto Me-"
