PARK THEATRE
THE RA1NEY PICTURES


COMING BACK.
With due respect to the merits of
the many theatrical attractions that
has played in this city during the
year there is none more welcome than
the return of the Paul J. Rainey'e
African Hunt. The reproduction of
Mr.. Rainey's expedition into British
East Africa and the marvellous scenes
shown by the motion pictures of wild
animal life in the African Jungle has
met with such enormous success that
a. return engagement has been prac-
tically demanded by the multitudes
The pictures come to the Park thea
ire the first two days of next week
with daily matinees.
The most delightful and entertain
ing part Of this series is perhaps
shown at the famous water hole. At
this particular oasis Of the desert con-
gregate all the denizens of the jungle,
to Stake their thirst. You get the
impression that great Geological Park
or Noah's Ark has emptied itself at
this drinking place. Probably for the
first time since photography was in
vented you have an opportunity of
studying in the motion pictures the
manners and habits of this extraor-
binary collection of wild animals
amidst their natural surroundings.
Mr.. J. c. Hemment, the official photog-
rapher in Mr.. Rainey's expedition, Sc
cured these marvellous pictures by re-
naming six weeks in this vicinity and
at one time concealed for seventy two
hours in a tree top. OF course he
was surrounded many times by dan
gerous animals and practically took
his life in his own hands on numerous
occasions. There are over one hun

KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS AND FOR
EIGN MISSIONS.

In the June issue of Catholic Mis-
sions the hope was expressed that the
knights of Columbus, who have done
so much for educational institutions,
would some day bring the foreign mis-
sions of the Church within the scope
of their generous activity. The Mont
tor of Newark comments on this sub
ject as follows:
Anyone that has read the life of
Columbus must have been impressed
how strongly the missionary spirit had
hold upon his mighty soul.
1T was not the gold which he might
bring back, but the faith which he car
ried forth that furnished the chief mo-
tive for his adventurous desires. He
yearned to bear the truth and Chris
tianity to the distant heather and to
plant the Cross of Christ on the far
away shores.
I'VE have often wondered at the ap-
athy toward the foreign missions
shown by the Knights of Columbus,
otherwise worthy heirs of noble an
cestor. We marvelled that among
their works was not found hearty and
Jealous support of those missionaries
who are above all others the true sons
of the hardy mariner who opened up
a new continent to the civilized world.
If the spirit of Columbus was adven-
ture, tempered, ennobled and conse-
Grated by religion, theirs is the spirit
of religion made romantic by the
heroism and hardships of adventure. -

THE PRAYER OF THE NEGRO.

And the poor negroes of the South
knelt humbly before Our Lord in the
Blessed Sacrament and prayed Him
to send their less favored brethren of
the race spiritual help. They called
on Jesus crucifed, who shed every
drop of His precious blood for the re-
demption of the world, to come to
their assistance.
Build us schools and churches, Oh
dear Lord" they cried, so that our
people will have the grace of Baptism
and the Sacraments, and our children
grow up in the Faith"
And, 10! schools and churches are
being built over the South, and the
grateful hearts of the negroes rejoice
and are glad that their prayers are
being answered, and that Our Lord has
shown them that His Divine Love is
not bounded, but embraceth the world
The answer to the prayer of the
negroes of the South is the Board OF
Missions established by the Hierarchy,
of which the Rev. John e. Burke is
the Director General, with national
headquarters in the Metropolitan
Building, No. Madison Avenue, New
York City
What was at the start little mis-
sion has developed into gigantic
proposition, which seeks to bring the
light of Faith to every unbaptized
negro.
There are millions Of the colored
race still in the darkness of ignorance
of black hands are raised
for spiritual help.
Without missionary labor nothing
can be done. The Board of Missions,
along with it's other work, helps the
and the teachers. 1t has
on it's payroll at the present time
teachers, payroll $1,000.
1t is God-given mission to help the
negro race. July, the month of the
Precious Blood is here-the blood that
was shed for the redemption of the
world. Send help to Father Burke in
his great work Write to him and
learn how.
1t will show our gratitude to the
God Man, who died for all, and will be
a little return for past favors re-
ceived

The Mexican school in question is

Leaves Millions to Missions.
No, the young man who died in
Cairo, Egypt, and left million to the
missions was not Catholic. The
Church will not benefit by the gener-
osity of this fine young man. He was
a missionary, Protestant missionary
and a millionaire. William Borden
was his name. He was not a paid mis-
sionary for he gave up home of
wealth and culture to follow what he
considered his duty. This earnest
young man left million dollars to
the cause of the missions. From our
Catholics we hardly expect a million
in lump sum. Catholic millionaires,
for the most part, are rarities, al
though they do exist, especially in
this country, and they are generous.
But somehow or other the Church has
never depended so much upon her
wealthy children as upon her poorer
ones. You have often heard it said
that the pennies of servant girls built
Saint Patrick's Cathedral in New
York, and it is your mite that the
Church asks for. What are you doing
