philanthropy, and a conviction pre-
walls, justified by the experience of our
government, that all sects and denom-
nations may be safely tolerated. We
are Protestants, generally speaking,
but we all know that the gentleman
who presides at the head of the SUI
preme judicature of the United States
is a Roman Catholic. No man sup
poses that the judicature of the coun-
try is less safe or that justice is dis
pensed with less certainty because
the chief justice is sincere and
ardent adherent of the Catholic re-
ligion. And so in every department of
society, in both houses of congress,
in all departments of the government,
Catholics and Professionals of all de.
nominations take part on equal terms.
1t is established as our principle that
a mans religion is matter above hui
man law, because he is responsible to
none but his Maker for it. Religion
is a communication between man and
his Maker"

THE PHILIPPINES A DIFFICULT
FIELD.

FIR. D. M Nijsters, M. S. c., is To-
Gated at Surigao, MindanaO, P. l. In
a recent letter he states that Mgr.
O'Doherty, Bishop of the diocese, has
just created seven new parishes. This
shows great progress from a spiritual
point of view, but materially the
priests have not made any advance.
Some of these parishes count $4,000
souls, but the work is always con-
Quoted at an expense much in excess
of the income, and it is feared that
some will have to be abandoned on
account of lack of means. The vii
lagos are all Aglipayan, and in order
to apply a remedy for such false be-
liefs there should be a Catholic
church, and good school.
Bishop O'Doherty is obliged to
spend several months on his pastoral
visits, travelling sometimes by sea in
primitive. boats, and sometimes by
land over the most frightful roads.
The work in the Philippines, under any
aspect, is extremely difficult, and any
help offered the missionaries would be
of great use.

midst of the district ravaged by fam
inc. The scarcity of food has resulted
in much loss of life, and many orphans
are left unprovided for The Governor
of Hokkaido has solicited the monks
to care for these little ones, and they
have taken as many as possible. The
asylum is full to overlooking and the
means of enlarging it are lacking.
However, the authorities were 10th to
accept a refusal, and begged the mis-
sionaries to extend their hospitality
to these afflicted children if they
could manage to do so. FIR. lie Cou-
teur adds:
"This insistence was flattering to us,
and we longed to respond to their
desire.
"The superintendent of Prisons
called upon us. He is a man of ex-
perience, and he was struck by the
contrast between our children and
those in his charge. Morally and ply
sically ours are far superior. Their
calm faces reveal souls at peace.
"The pagan could scarcely compre-
bend that daily Communion effects this
startling transformation. Many still
await Baptism, and the Eucharistic
banquet.
AT Kikonai, the little village / de.
scribed recently, they still need cate.
chist and chapel. Many influential
families evince leaning toward Ca.
tholicism, and as soon as our religion
can be fittingly presented to them they
will accept it with joy. They need a
good mayor, good school-master, a
good doctor, and good 'Kyokwai,' i
e., a good church. The three first are
at hand; as for the last, | patiently
await the will of God.
1T was hoped that chapel would
be constructed this August, but it
does not seem possible to realize our
plans till later, as our funds are not
sufficient at present"

the needs of the missioners are
greater by far than the Society can
supply. Perhaps the poorest of all
poor territories has been meted out
to the priests in the Islands, and it
is no exaggeration to say that hunger
is no novelty to a priest serving in
the Philippines.

money you sent me-" writes Father
Zimmerman, land the very same day

erend Bishop another sum which you
so kindly sent me for our mission
express my deep gratitude and that
of all our Fathers here in Abra aid
their f1ocks for the generous and
splendid gift. Our chapel here is
a mere howell, but bad as it is, it is
not the only one of it's kind in these
poor missions, and by no means the
worst of them. Our Fathers here
started to build a new chapel, for
the old one is but little better than
a stable, but on account of lack of
money they had to stop their noble
work. =.
The priests in the Islands are used
to discouragements; and the fact that
these Fathers had ''to stop their no.
BILE work" has not taken the heart
out of them as indeed it well might
do. The Protestant denominations are
never short of funds to provide for
their mission work. The missionary
spirit prevalent amongst Professionals
gives them the funds with which to
send their missionaries into Catholic
lands and erect schools and churches
while the poor Catholic priest has to
keep still and work hard and see
many of his people drift into unbelief
and infdelity simply because the FACT
lities of worship were denied him.

BULWARK OF AMERICA.

The principles of Catholic education
must eventually be adopted, if our de-
mocracy is to be maintained, was the
statement made by Miss Elizabeth S.
Kite, of the Department of Charities
and Corrections of New Jersey, who
spoke before a representative gather
ing of the Catholic clergy and laity
in the auditorium of the Catholic
Girls High School in Philadelphia on
February Is, on can Aspect of Educa-
ton in It's Causes and Effects" The
speaker said the attainment of high
standard of morality was what was
most expedient in the matter Of edu-
cation, and as the public school sys-
tenn completely ignored moral teach
ing, the Catholic school must become
the main bulwark of America, for it
was in the school and not in the home,
as formerly, that moral teaching must
be done. "a different condition pre-
walls now in the home" she said, than
formerly. At one time the home was
the centre of moral teaching, but the
home as centre for family gatherings
has been swept away by the over
whelming influx of modern luxury and
industrialism, and the Catholic
Church, with the perfect models it
holds out to the child, is the only or
ganization equal to the task"

CATHOLIC CLERGY IN SOUTH
AMERICA.

Mr.. w. Haggard, formerly English
minister to Quito, the capital of Ecua-
dor, South America, pays the following
compliment to the missionaries:
Il may mention that my observa-
ton there, and, indeed, in Brazil,
where it has been my lot lately to
have to do indirectly with the Putu-
mayo atrocities, has shown me that
the most earnest, the most genuine,
and, except when thwarted, the most
effectual agents both for civilizing the
Indians and for protecting them from
the atrocities which, as fear, are by
no means confined to the Putumayo
district, but common to the other rub
ber-bearing regions in the wilderness
of the upper waters of the Amazon,
are the Catholic clergy"

ST. MONICA.

In a Chicago pulpit, Jenkin Lloyd
Jones recently paid the following trib-
ute to st. Monica. He said in part:
"St. Monica's tears, as he himself
thought, gave Augustine, the greatest
of the Western Fathers, to Christian
ity, and when the prayer of her soul
was answered and her brilliant, though
at one time hayward son, gave him
self to the cause of Christ, which in
her mind and ours is the cause of love,
of service, and of disinterestedness,
like Simeon of old, she was prepared
to say: Lord, now let they servant
depart in peace
'"The centuries have remembered
her, and these days are touched into
higher uses because Monica, the moth
er of Augustine, gave her life to relig-
ion, her thought to the Church OF
Christ, and her heart to the living
God"

PHILIPPINE MISSIONARY CRATE
Full FOR AID.

Father Zimmerman, priest labor
Ing in the mission fields of the Philip
pine Islands, is one of the many
priests whose missions have been
helped by the Catholic Church Exten-
sion Society. Father Zimmerman is
under the jurisdiction of Bishop
Hurth, the prelate selected to take up
the burden which Bishop Carroll was
physically unable to bear, and under
which he died. The priests in the
diocese of Bishop Hurth are for the
most part dependent upon Mass In

ToNKIN FACES STARVATION.

The vicariate of Central Tonlxin, the
largest of the missions in the Far
East, having 252,320 Catholics in a
population of over 100000, is still
suffering from the effects of the great
inundation and resulting famine of one
year ago. Bishop Munigorri, the
Vicar-Apostolic, has been able to stave
of starvation, through the help which
he has received through the Society
for the Propagation of the Faith, but
with the harvest still two months
away, he is about at the end of his
resources.
The floods came in September last
and left 100000 Buddhists and 10000
Christians homeless and starving. The
good Bishop made an Immediate and
urgent appeal and as a result he was
able to keep his people from starva-
ton up to the present time.
The poverty of the mission has been
augmented by the distress Of the peo-
pie to such an extent that the Bishop
has been unable to maintain any SEM
inarians and the Catholics scattered
through TAI villages have to depend
upon the ministrations of 20 Spanish
missionaries and 112 native priests.
Under the circumstances the work of
the conversion of the pagans has re
ceived a great setback. 1t is hoped,
however, that ultimately good will re-
suit, for the charity of the mission
aries in relieving the distress of the
people, irrespective of religion, has
had a wonderful effect upon the peo-
pie of the country, who are now more
favorable to the Church than ever be-
fore.
