And she knelt down with prayer for
forgiveness and humility and patience.

had sobbed out it's thanksgiving, and
then told her how Father Kennedy,
who had come over to Ireland for
fresh air and change after an exhaust

staying. Her story, as told by one

particularly, she being native OF his
own country, and one of the messages
that he had brought over was plea
| from her to her mother to forgive
her and let her come back with little

but the Irish air that was already do

There were some hurlers marching

BRITISH TRIBUTE TO FRENCH
MISSIONARIES.
-RegiSteE-Enten

In the June number of the Mission
airy Record of the Oblates of Mary I'M
maculate there is given an extract
from General Sir William Buffers
"The Great Lone Land" which goes
far toward explaining why the Catho-
lie Church is known on the missions
as THE French Church" In speaking
of his meeting with Catholic mission
aries in Alberta, forty years ago, Gen.
eral Butler says:
He who has travelled through the
vast colonial empire OF Britain-that
empire which covers one-third of the
entire habitable surface of the globe,
the world-must often have met with
men dwelling in the midst of wild,
savage peoples, whom they tended
with a strange and mother-like devo-
ton. If you asked who was this stran-
ger who dwelt thus among wild men
in these lone places, you were told
he was the French missionary, and if
you sought him in his lonely hut you
found ever the same surroundings, the
same simple evidences of faith which
seemed more than human.

from book-knowledge. l have myself

call. And it has ever been the same;

er or merchant, of sailor or soldier

whose earliest memories are thick
with sunny scenes by bank of Loire,
or vine-clad slope of Rhone or
Garonne, and whose vision, in this life
at least, is never destined to rest again
upon these aforementioned places.

REASONS WHY.

When once we are familiar with re-
suits, we are not likely to be ignorant
of their reasons. But when we are
face to face with what is wholly a
venture-on the boundary of an uneX-
plored region-we must obviously
trust to general principles. Applied
to non-Catholic missions, this is the
trouble with many Catholic pastors.
Such a thing is an absolute terra in
cognita to them. But once they have
made the venture, reasons for being
glad of it and for repeating it are
plentiful. Seldom have We known
them to be better expressed than by
the parish priest of Ryde, Isle of
Wight, England. When his mission,
given by Father Herbert Vaughan's
missionaries, was over, he wrote as
follows to the editor of our bright
and wholesome contemporary, the
Missionary Gazette:
AS the editor has been kind, or I'M
kind, enough to ask me to give few
of my impressions of the missions to
non-Catholics lately held here at ST.
Mary's, Ryde, / think the following
points may be of interest, and espe-
cially to those who are contemplating
such a spiritual launch out into the
deep.
I'D First, the success was astonish-
ing; one would never have anticipated
such. a response as all classes in Ryde
gave to the invitation sent to them.
Members of the town council, the
educational committee, clergymen,
schoolmasters, Scripture readers, all
seemed to make point of being pres
ent; at the same time large numbers
of the poor came with delight.
Gid The extraordinary desire on
the part of non Catholics to hear Cath
Ollie doctrine was very surprising.
(iii) One of the resultant good eff
fects in the town was shown in great
er respect for Catholic teaching, and
incidentally, for Catholics themselves.
(iv.) Catholics also seemed strength.

A HOMECOMING.

Mary, burdened with the little one
but determined not to be parted from
her, had found it difficult to get en-
ployment. 1t was five or six years
since Lizzie had written anything
about her except a line last Christ
mas saying that she heard from other
old neighbors that Mary Coyle was
working in hospital.
In hospital, in that terrible Eng
land, her little Mary! A picture rose
before her of a radiant June day and
little Mary in her white frock, and
with eyes as blue as the ribbons that
tied her yellow hair, walking hand in
hand with her and the proud poor
father, home from the child's happy
First Communion. What would the
poor father say when she met him, of
the way she had treated his darling?
He had trusted the children to her
and she had betrayed the trust. And
they had been good children to her!
Remorseless memory told her that.
She remembered the evening when
her foot was hurt in the glen, how
Tom had insisted on bringing her all
the long way home on his back. How
cheerfully the two shared every pri-
walton in the long uphill struggle, how
willingly they worked-the cosy
chats at night, the Rosary! How had
she forgotten everything and allowed
pride and revenge, for what she con-
sidered the slight put upon her, to
work their evil will on her soul?
Would the Lord ever allow her to
make up for it-even partially en-
able her to bring Mary and her dead
sons child to her open door and

THE CHILDREN'S HOUR.
WHY MINNIE COULDN'T SLEEP.

She sat up in bed. The curtain was
drawn up, and she saw the moon,
and it looked as if it were laughing
at her.
You need not look at me, Moon"
she said. You don't know about it;
you can't see in the daytime. Be-
sides, am going to Sleep"
She lay down and tried to go to
sleep Her clock on the mantel went
"tick-tock, textbook" She generally
liked to hear it; and tonight it sound
ed just as if it said, 81 know, know,
| know
you don't know, either" said
Minnie, opening her eyes wide. "You
weren't there, you old thing; you
were upstairs
Her loud voice awoke the parrot.
He took his head from under his
wing, and cried out: Polly did,"
That's wicked story, you naugh-
ty bird" said Minnie. You were in
grandma's room, so now"
Then Minnie tried to go to sleep
again. She lay down and counted
white sheep, just as grandma said
she did when she couldn't sleep. But
there was a big lump in her throat.
"Oh, l wish l hadn't"
Pretty soon there came a very soft
patter of four little feet, and her
pussy jumped upon the bed, kissed
Minnie's cheek, and then began to
''pur-r-r, pur-r-r." 1t was very queer;
but that too, sounded as if pussy
said: 81 know, l know"
Eyes, you do know, Kitty" said
Minnie; and then she threw her arms
around Kitty's neck, and cried bitter
ly. "And-T guess-I want-to-see
l-my-mamma!"
Mamma opened her arms when she
saw the little weeping girl coming,
then Minnie told her miserable story.

ened in their faith. In a few days
the answers to questions presented a
short course in theology, and there
were very few points not touched on
and calculated.
w. The number of non-Catholics
who are following the continued week
ly instructions is encouraging.
Then how do we account for these
results?
(a) First, to prayer. The school
children, several communities of re-
ligious men and women, and the con-
gregation had been praying for some
weeks beforehand.
(b) To advertising on a large scale
and bringing the notice of the mission
to,every house as far as possible.
(c) To Catholics bringing non-Cath-
Ollie friends to the meetings.
Cd The peculiar nature of the serv-
ice, in which anyone may ask a ques-
ton on any difficulty connected with
religion, and thus human curiosity to
ask and to hear became a factor.
(e) And last, but not the least cause
of the success were the remarkable
men that conducted this mission, who
| have made name for themselves in
Ryde for eloquence and intellectual
ability, the memory of which will not
easily fade away Canon Manoon,

and SO l ate it up, most a whole pie:
and then-I-oh-I don't want to tell,
but 'spect l must,-I shut Kitty in
the pantry to make you think she
did it. But I'm sorry, mamma"
Then mamma told Minnie that she
had known all about it. But she had
hoped that the little daughter would
be brave enough to tell her all about
it herself
But mamma" she asked, chow
did you know it wasn't Kitty?"
Because Kitty would never have

anu great glow Ol Hdp plu0SS SuCC00u-
ed it. There was nothing now, Nelly
felt, to stand between her and the
glad reunion.
But the hearts desire is not always
easily attained. When in the widows
eagerness to set out that evening for
the Casey's home, she was not pre-
pared for the utter want of knowledge
there about Mary. Old Ma'am Casey
sought and found the Christmas letter
of Lizzies in which she spoke of Mary
Coyle having left Manchester and
gone to work in a hospital some
| where"
The old woman was grieved that
this was all the information she could
give, "but people in foreign parts lost
sight of each other like that"
Nelly could not listen to the we'll
meant helpless talk. She left the
house in the midst of it and was out
on the road battling with the fresh
spring of bitterness in her heart. She
was like a football, she said to her
self, kicked this way and that. Hopes
were raised in her only to be dashed
aside.
Good evening, Nelly"
II was Father Maurice, resting at
the milestone, and the sight of his
kind, concerned face as he spoke OF
his sorrow at her loss through the
agent, softened a little the anger in
the widows soul. She told him, for
she could safely do so, about the re
turn of the money.
But what's the good of it now.
Father" she said drearily, and she
told him of the plans that she had
been forming and of the "stonewalP
that seemed to be placed between hel
and them.
''But I'm not sure that it is a stone
wall, Nelly" said Father Maurice
after a little thinking. There are
ways of finding people-we could ad
vertise. But wait-I'n talk about il
to Father Kennedy. I'm expecting
him tonight over from London for g
weeks rest with me. Don't be down
hearted; God is always good, Nelly.
The good face and words gave hope
to Nelly who was, somehow, brought
by them to see the meanness and bit
terness of her own thoughts.
I'm so ready, so ready" sht

SELF-CONTROL.

The habit of self-control is the most
children. 1t is not easy to acquire;
perhaps that's why it's so rare. 1t is
much easier to lose your temper than
to hold yourself serene. It is much
easier to say the hasty word or to
give the impulsive opinion, than to be
silent or to be careful of your speech.
1t is vastly easier to let yourself go
than control your emotional nature.
1t is easier to let anger, envy, dislike,
hate, rule you than to keep your mind
in the grooves Of kindness, goodwill,
charity.
A woman needs to be taught self
control from her birth. She needs to
practise it until the hour of her death.
From the minute she gets up in the
morning until she finishes the very
last task and lies down to sleep again,
each day and every day, the lesson
should be repeated Control in the
big game of life where decision and
courage and judgment are needed, is
learned only by the daily practise OF
restraint in small things Say the
pleasant thing when you want to
Crouch" Go at once to the disagree
able duty when inclination calls the
other way. There is no place where
the opportunities for practise in con
troll are more numerous than in the
home in dealing with the home folks
and with children. Every hour there
is the chance to choose between irri.
tation and serenity, between truth and
sincerity and the petty fib or evasion
For the woman who must earn her
living in business, self-control is abso
lutely indispensable. Every day she
will meet some unusual situation which
will call for clear-headed control. Her
success or failure will depend in the
long run upon the quality of her con
troll, control of temper, thoughts
speech, aims, emotions. So, while you
develop skill and take care of personal
appearance, and both count for much
don't forget that these aren't drop in
the bucket without self-control.
