REVERENCE FOR THE MADONNA

John Ruskin, in celebrated pas
sage of the Fors Clavigera writes as
follows: after careful examination,
neither as adversary nor as friend, of
the influences of Catholicism, ] am
persuaded that reverence for the
Madonna has been one of it's noblest
and most vital graces, and has never
been otherwise than productive of
holiness of life and purity of char
acter. There has, probably, not been
an innocent home throughout Europe
during the period of Christianity in
which the imagined presence of the
Madonna has not given sanctity to
the duties and comfort to the trials
of men and women. Every brightest
and loftiest achievement of the art
and strength of manhood and woman
hood has been the fulfillment of the
prophecy made to the humble Lily OF
Israel-'He that is mighty hath
magnified me-"

ALLEGED INTOLERANCE OF CATH
OLlCS.

The following remarkable letter
from the Rev. w. J. Nelson, the
Vicarage, Buckland Brewer, Bideford,
appeared in a recent, issue of the
Scotsman:
"Will you allow a clergyman OF
Scottish birth and parentage, who
served for fourteen years in Ireland
to say word on alleged Roman Cath
Ollie intolerance? Before going to Ire
land in 1896, was led to believe that
Irish Professionals had something tc
fear from the tyranny of the over
whelming Roman Catholic majority
My experience as chaplain of Ballyfin
Queens County, rector of Stratford
on-Slaney, County Wicklow, and rector
of Bannow, County Wexford, has fully
convinced me that such fears are
groundless. Home Rule might be op
posed on certain grounds, but cannot
be fairly opposed on the ground OF
an intolerance which has no existence
in fact. From the Roman Catholic
clergy and people 1 always received
the utmost kindness and courtesy, AND
/ could quote any number of instances
of their goodwill and fair dealing. Fol-
instance, in preparing members of the
Royal Irish Constabulary for confirma
ton, l always found Roman Catholic
constables ready to undertake the
duties of their Protestant comrade
rather than let him miss the prepare
ton class. In my last parish in Ire
land the Roman Catholic parish priest
found a Protestant girl serving in q
Roman Catholic establishment. He
asked the shopkeeper to drive her tc
church the following Sunday, and he
did so. The Church Times" of las
week calls attention to the fact tina

"PoRTABLE CHURCHES" USED
BY MANY PRIESTS.

The Missionary Mass Outfit, gotten
ND by the Catholic Church Extension
Society, has a great popularity with
the priests on the missions. 1t could
almost be called a portable church
for the outfit includes everything
necessary for the celebration of the
divine sacrifice, from the altar stone
to finger towels. Nothing has been
forgotten.
Priests going from one chapel-less
mission to another find these outfits
a great blessing. The society has
any number of requests for them
from missionaries who really need
them.
Father Lyman, a missioner in Okla
homa, is one of the many who have
written the society for a missionary
Mass Outfit.
"I notice in a recent issue of Elk
tension" writes Father Lyman, "a
request for people to donate mission
airy Mass Outfits. have to do great
deal of travelling and the work that
necessitates me. A Mass Outfit would
be very useful to me. We need pews
for our church as well, and if you
know of any pastor who has any
secondhand pews he would be willing
to donate, l would gladly pay the
freight on them"
The Mass Outfits are 500, sos
and $110, the difference being in the
case-not in the contents.
The society receives many desig
mated gifts for these outfits, and
when one is interested in extending

to contribute $500 for the erection OF

from the Church, there are sections
of the country which abound with
Catholic life. Goa, South Canara and
Malabar have large Catholic popu-
lation. In these sections the true re-
ligion thriVes with all it's devotional
practises and in that pagan land the
works of charity and beneyolence
which adorn her throughout the
world shine forth prominently.
In the district of South Canara, we
are told by the Rev. Father Vas, there
is a Catholic population of 10000
South Canara forms an important part
of the diocese of Mangalore There
are 'thirty-seven parishes in the Sec
ton, most of which are served by
native Indian priests who are trained
in the local st. Joseph's Seminary,
under the direction of the Italian
Jesuit Fathers of the Province of
Venice. The parishes are mostly sit
uated in the interior of the district
and in each case the population
varies from 1000 to 1000 souls. They
are real missions on a small scale,
covering an area of from three to
twelve miles each. The Catholics are
not wealthy. They are generally
farmers who cultivate the fields of
rich Hindu landlords. They are a
deeply religious people who will
make any sacrifice for their religion.
Since they are not nomadic, but
fixed congregation remaining always
in the one place, religious work among
them is very satisfactory to the mis-
sionaries and bears abundant, con-
soling and lasting fruit.
The people travel five and six miles
of a Sunday, over rocky paths, for
there are no roads in the hills, to at
tend the Holy Sacrifice, and those
who receive Holy Communion remain
fasting until l o'clock before they
can get drink of rice water. Con-
fessions are heard before Mass and
after the Holy Sacrifice the people
gather together to meet, discuss their
family affairs and in the presence of
| their pastor, settle little family or
neighborhood disputes. Benediction
follows in the afternoon, then cate
chism classes for the children, and
in the evening the people return to
their homes to take up the burden Of
another week.

CANADIAN INDIAN MISSION.

The mission of st. Henry is at Fort
Vermillion, in the extremely poor

Indians of this post belong mostly to

The mission is an ancient one, as at
the beginning of the century the Sis

teaching of children and the housing
of the aged. AS time went on this
building became too small, and little

C0th0ljc boycott, and at the same time test-

datlon," what are you conclusions in refer
ence to Roman Catholic secret societies which
can blast mans prospects III life, throw
INN out OF employment, and pursue him to
other cities in the effort to reduce him to
abject surrender, or starvation?
In the face of rancorous and Christian
and lawIess proceedings like the two cases

the impudence to "appeaI to our fellow citi-

What was the conduct Of these virtuous
and amiabe Roman Catholics, when w. E.
