HAPPY OLD AGE AND YOUTH

Good World to Live In.

Each era of our lives has it's pc

Ledger declares When a young man
is in college. or a lad at school, he is
often told by his elders that these are
the happiest years of his life, and that
he should make the best of their brief
duration. Old age will creep upon
him and life will impose an increasing
burden of responsibility, and he must
gather the roses while he may be-

Youth starts out on the long road

From time immemorial oatmeal has

to oatmeal or not, the complexions Of
the royal children, like that of their
mother, Queen Mary, have always
been admired and envied; but Scotch

course of their breakfast.

will be one that Catholics in the large
cities would scorn to have their chill
dren attend. One of the priests work
ing in the Office of the Catholic Church
Extension Society, in making trip
with the motor chapel to Texas, visit
ed the mission schools conducted by
these Oblate Fathers, and he described
them as the poorest of the poor. But
even such schools are vastly superior
to no schools at all. And it is for
such a school that Father Serodes
asks.
eve have small cottage near the
church which we shall place at the
disposal of the Sisters he says, "and
so the question of the dwelling place
for the nuns is solved for a time at
least"
The vast state of Texas, so sparsely
settled, is a field where Catholicity
could grow and flourish were not our
missionaries hampered for lack of
funds. The observation-disclosures are
already Catholics, and the Protestant
endeavor can succeed in making them
atheists, but never Professionals, for
there is a strange strain of logic in
all Latin blood that demands the
whole truth or no truth. Were the
funds to do the work among these peo-
pie in the hands OF the society, count
less souls would be saved, for count
less Americana exicans would be
saved to the Church. They are al
ready ours, and surely it is better to
keep them now, than to put ourselves
to the trouble of converting them
over again. And the task. is an in
finitely easier one. The $4,000 that
Father Serodes asks is not great
sum. Many of our Catholic people
could spare the entire amount and
never miss it. But it is every little
donation that counts. 1t is the dollar
and the five dollar donations that will
bring this money in to him.

very small proportion of our people
who take any interest whatever in
giving the Church chance at child
hood. Earnest pastors supplement
the regular activities in behalf of the
children with such special attention
as they are enabled to bestow upon
this vastly important matter. But
Protestant children as a whole, count
ing them, as the Catholics enumerate
theirs, on the basis of traditional
but usually loose association of their
parents with the churches, are to a
very considerable extent without eff
cient religious instruction.
1t is perfectly absurd for us to be-
come hysterical over the entirely
proper concern of the Roman Catholic
Church for the religious instruction
of it's children, as though an organ
lied attempt were being made to pa
ganize childhood while we sit idly by
and permit our children to grow up
without suitable religious culture. If
Professionals cannot see in what direc-
ton this index finger of our times is
pointing, then it is high time that our
religious journals should everywhere
raise a strident alarm, not against
Romanists for being true to their
principles but against Professionals for
their unmitigated folly in allowing the
precious opportunities they have to

Catholics sense and enthusiasm, and

religion akin to that so worthily dis
played by these faithful teachers of
the Roman Catholic Church.

before Sheridan could make reply or

when the machine had started, and

said he should come and see Johnny
as soon as the matter of the prisoner
had been disposed of. This plan suited
Sheridan better than any which he
could have devised, so he accepted it.
When in about an hour he had reached
the home of the lady, and found his
protege among comforts and friendly
people with luxury stamped on every
thing in sight, except Johnny's face,
he began to take an inventory of the
circumstances. His conclusion was
this: "The rich can stop and stoop
to the distresses of the poor when
these are seen and felt wildly. God
bless poor maligned human nature"

BEGGING FOR BEDS.
Ruthenian Sisters Need Them for Hos
pitaI-$7.50 Each.

An appeal which has been long de-
layed has just come before us, writes
the editor of Register Extension of
Toronto. 1t is in behalf of the Ruthen-
ian Sisters at Mundare, Alberta, who
have succeeded in building aehome for
their poor children. The appeal states
that the poor Sisters have no money
to furnish this home, and we are
begged to put their needs before our
readers. The most urgent need is for
beds, each of which, when complete,
will cost about $3.50.
The Sisters will be grateful for do
nations of secondhand bedding, or
money, or anything useful for their
home. Donations may be sent direct
to the Ruthenian Monastery, Mundare
Alberta.
We put this case earnestly before
our readers; we have read of the eff
forts made by non-C Catholics, to gel
control Of Ruthenian children, and il
is an absolute duty to help these good
Sisters to protect them. The Sisters
have nothing at all of the goods OF
this world; they give themselves and
their whole lives to Gods work and
call upon the faithful to come to theil
assistance with what is needed to car
ry on their noble work. Perhaps oul
Calgary Sub-Council could see a way
to give some little help to these de
voted Sisters.
