TRIBUTES TO OUR LADY.

A writer in the Irish Monthly quotes
five noteworthy tributes of praise to
Our Lady from eminent writer's out
side the Church.
Says Hawthorne, in THE Blithedale
Romance:
II have always envied the Catho-
lies in that sweet, sacred Virgin Mary
who stands between them and the
Deity intercepting somewhat of His
awful splendor, but permitting His
love to stream upon the worshipper
more intelligibly to human comprehen-
sion through the medium of a woman's
tenderness"
influence of the Blessed Virgin ap-
peared in the instalment of 'Fors
Clavigera," issued May /, 1874:
"Of the sentiments which in all ages
have distinguished the gentleman
from the churl, the first is that of
reverence for womanhood, which even
through all the cruelties of the Middle
Ages developed itself with increasing
power until the thirteenth century and
became consummated in the imagina.
ton of the Madonna, which ruled over
all the highest arts and purest
thoughts of that age.
"To the common on-Catholic mind
the dignities ascribed to the Madonna
have always been a violent offence
They are one of the parts of the Cath
Ollie faith open to reasonable dispute
and the least comprehensive by the
of the Reformation.
But after the most careful exam
ination, neither as adversary nor as
friend, of the influences of Catholicity
for good and evil, am persuaded that
the worship of the Madonna has beer
one of it's noblest and most vita
graces, and has never been otherwise
than productive of true holiness of life
and purity of character. do moi
enter into any question as to the truth
or the fallacy of the idea. no more
wish to defend the historical OF
theological position of the Madonna
than that of st. Michael or st. Chris
TOPPER. But am certain that to the
habit of reverent belief in and con
temptation of the character ascribed
to the heavenly hierarchies we must
ascribe the highest results vel
achieved in human nature.
There has probably not been an in
nocent cottage home throughout the
length and breadth of Europe during
the whole period of vital Christianity
in which the imaged presence Of the
Madonna has not given sanctity to the
humblest duties and comfort to the
sorest trials of the lives of women;
and every brightest and Hottest
achievement of the arts and strength
Of manhood has been the fulfilment Of
The Catholic bulletin. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1911-1995, 1914-04-04

the assured prophecy of the Israelite
maiden: He that is mighty hath mag
nified me; and holy is His name.'"
This tribute is remarkable, coming
from an Irish Protestant, but surely a
still more unlikely person to pay such
homage to the Blessed Virgin is the
Rev. Charles Kingsley, who shows in
many of his writings an ugly, un-Cath-
Ollie spirit. Yet he says:
"Our hearts and reasons tell us, and
have told all Christians in all ages,
that the Blessed Virgin must have
been holier, nobler, fairer in body and
soul than all women upon earth"
Lastly, Mr.. Robert Buchanan, author
of God and the Man," wrote in one
of the newspapers not long before his
death:
"The worship of the Virgin is to my
mind-the mind of an unbeliever-
full of holiness and beauty. We owe
to it a great deal that is ennobling in
life, in art, in literature. I myself see
in the Virgin the exquisite incarnation
of Divine motherhood, well worthy OF
the reverence of any man, whatever
his theological belief may be-"

IN BASUToLAND.

In Basutoland, South Africa, in the
year that ended last September 1875
persons were baptized. OF these
1,O06 were adults; 462 were confirmed;
over $4,000 confessions were heard,
and lao marriages were blessed. The
whole number of Catholics in the
vicariate is 15,400, and of catechumens
$500. There are 2,135 children in
the Catholic schools.
The whole population of Basuto-
land is 100000. While much has
been done there is still great work
to be accomplished. The Basuto like
the Catholic Church. Many are pre-.
vented from joining it for want OF
priests. Where there is a Catholic
mission, one of their missionaries
says, the people come to it in great
numbers, and he states: "If we could
build churches and schools, keep
catechists and teachers, l am sure
we could record conversions not by
hundreds but by thousands. We have
against us the Anglican Church, the
Ethiopian and the French Calvanistic
Church. This last is very strong on
account of it's very numerous schools
They have $50 schools and host oil
native teachers and evangelists, al
least 400; and, though we have only
few churches and schools, and are
only eighteen priests, we have per
haps more conversions"
The vicariate is under the direction
of the Oblates of Mary Immaculate.

GAIN THE PRAYERS OF THE
CHILDREN.

The endless chain of living rosaries
of the colored children of the South,
started by the Rev. John E. Burke as
prayers for the benefactors of the
great work known as the Conversion
of the Negro in the United States was
a holy thought to get the prayers OF
the children for this laudable end,
writes Shiela Mahon. Now, that we
are nearing the end of the penitential
season in which almsgiving and pray
ers are part of the penance enjoined
by the Church for remission OF sin,
it would be a good thought to remem-
Der the Negro Missions established by
the Hierarchy, of which Father John
E. Burke is the Director General,
Headquarters at No. 1 Madison Ave-
nue., New York City. A donation for
this worthy cause to bring the light
of faith among the many millions OF
the colored race in America, who are
still in the darkness of ignorance and
of whom false teachers are taking adj
vantage to instil in them hatred
of the tenets of Catholicism. In the
South the field is vast and the Ia
borers scarce and the funds almost
nil. Our charity at this particular
time could not be spent in a better
channel, or one that will bring a
greater reward-the prayers of the in
nocent children penetrate the heav-
ems and conversion follows CONVEX
sion. But this great mission must be
kept up. Schools built, teachers paid,
and missionary work in helping poor
missions go on all the time until the
end is achieved. Send donation to
Father Burke to help in this great
work. You will always find him
thankful to receive it. His address is
No. / Madison Avenue, New York
City.

DEFENCE OF PURGAToRY.

Almost everybody believes there
is a heaven, but there is diversity
of thought as to when the saved shall
reach there" says Rev. H. P. Dyer Of
the Protestant Episcopal Church of the
Ascension, Philadelphia. "Of course,
it is evident that the bodies Of all the
saved will be reunited to their souls
not until then will they have risen
from their graves. But what about
the entrance of the souls into heaven?
The Protestant belief is that every
soul that does not go to hell goes to
heaven at the moment of death. One
difficulty about this is that it takes no
account of the quality or character Of
a mans mode of life. A man whose
| life has been so low and bestial that
he barely escapes damnation, accord
ing to this theory, goes as surely and
quickly to heaven as man who has
lived careful, holy and beautiful life.
"The ancient belief of Gods Church
is one of holy common sense. Few
souls are so pure that they are fit for
heaven, where nothing that is defiled
may enter And yet there are many
millions of people who are too good
to go to hell. This vast body of i'm
mortal beings will at death go neither
to heaven nor to hell, but to an in
termediate state, sort of vestibule
to heaven, an ante-chamber, where
their stains will be removed, and
where divine process of purgation
is mercifully provided by Almighty
God"

JAPANESE LEPER ASYLUM.

1t is estimated that in Japan there
are 100000 lepers, not counting those
who have never manifested any ex-
ternal symptoms of the disease, but
who certainly have it's faint in their
blood, which one day, sooner or later,
but surely as death, will make its
presence felt.
The majority of them are wretched,
indeed, wandering about through the
country, objects of horror to all and
of pity to those who have the love
of God in their hearts. There are a
few leper asylums scattered about,
and they have room altogether for
about 1000 persons. Surely there is
no work more deserving of Christian
charity. The leper asylum at Gotem-
ba is the oldest in Japan.
Father Bertrand, the director, tries
to observe the great days of the
Church with as much solemnity as
possible in order to impress his poor
lepers with a sense of the majesty
of God and the holiness of His re-
ligion. On All-Saints Day he baptized
six of the lepers who had been won
over to the love of Our Lord and His
Holy Church. 1t was day of great
rejoicing.
When lepers first come to the asy-
lum they look with establishment upon
the priest who tells them that their

the Superior of the Sisters of the
Incarnate Word in Mexico, and re
quested that, in the event it became
necessary for the Sisters to seek new
fields of labor, that some of them al
least would come to Arkansas. That
request although made over a year
ago was not forgotten, and the very
thing anticipated by the priest, hap
pened. The Sisters were driven out
of Mexico, and twenty-five of them
were sent to Father Bandini for his
missions.
The nuns were enthusiastically re-
ceived by the townspeople, the pro
prietor of the hotel giving them a
bountiful supper and the use of his
rooms.

three of Father Bandinis missions
will be started
At two missions he opened schools,
but they will not be patronized until
