HENRY Viii BARRED THE BIBLE

But few people know that in the
sixteenth century an Englishman was
not allowed to read the Bible, yet it is
perfectly true. Henry VIII issued a
decree prohibiting the common people
from reading the Bible. Officers of
state were exempt from this law.
Probably the king thought these off,
Gals would be none the worse for per-
using the sacred work, and noble Ia
dies or gentlewomen might read the
prescribed volume if they did so in
their gardens or orchards, but no one
was allowed even to read it to the
lower Classes.-Westminst Gazette.
This, from secular daily newspa-
per, is interesting. After all the talk
of the Catholic church refusing to al
low the poor people hungry for the
word of God, to read the Bible" and
the further talk of how the Reforma-
ton ended all this, it is also almost
mirth-provoking. Perhaps the "chain
bible" has been discovered.

RE5UKING 5IGoTRY.

The good Quaker poet" Whittier is
probably not so familiar to present
day Americans as he was to their
fathers and' grandfathers; but he left
in both his poems and his prose mes
sages as pertinent and timely today
as in the era of abolitionism or that
of the Know-Nothing party. Here is
one of them:
'Many people in this country have
allowed their disapprobation of the
Catholic religion to degenerate into a
most unwarrantable prejudice against
it's conscientious followers. They
have looked upon the constitutional
agitation of the Irish Catholics for re
lief from grievous disabilities and I'M
just distinctions as a struggle merely
for supremacy or power. In our coun-
try, it would be we'll for us to remem-
Der that at the very time when in
New England the Catholic, the
Quaker and the Baptist were banished
on pain of death, and where some
even suffered that dreadful penalty, in
Catholic Maryland, under the Catho-
lie Lord Baltimore, perfect liberty OF
conscience was established, and Papist
and Protestant went quietly through
the same streets to their respective
affairs"

NEGROES GOOD CATHOLICS.

Are converted negroes convinced oil
the Real Presence in the Blessed
Sacrament? Father Vermeersch, s.
j., while travelling through Belgian
Congo, wished to satisfy himself that
such indeed was the case, and made
many inquiries of converts. TheiI
answers were so satisfactory that nc
doubt remains in his mind. Indeed
the sincerity of the Blacks was re
vealed by their sublime devotion in
the practice of their religion, as well
as in their edifying responses to the
Fathers questions.
why do you go SO often to con
fession?" he asked a Christian.
Because" the negro answered

"The good God then fills the sou

1t is a well-known fact that Negroes
refuse large salaries in order to &C

THE MALIGNED SISTERS.

Not long ago Miss Ella Fort James,
member of prominent Protestant
family of Richland, Wis, sent to the
Richland Democrat" noble letter,
in which she paid a high tribute to
the maligned Sisters. We quote:
"The writer was educated in con-
vent, and for six years lived among
Catholics. Not once in all that time
was any effort made to induce her to
enter the Catholic faith. No influence
of that kind was brought to bear
upon any of the Protestant pupils.
The beautiful lives of the nuns had,
however, lasting influence in other
channels. One of the sweetest mem
cries in that distant past are the
hours spent in the quiet halls of that
convent school.
"The writer had Protestant friend,
who, at the age Of sixteen, desired to
become a nun. She applied to the
Mother Superior of the 'Ursuline Con-
vent in Galveston, Texas, and was told
that her admission would not be
granted without the consent of her
family and without thorough premedi-
tation on her own part. This girl
afterwards decided to remain a Prot
estant and not one word was ever

NEGRO PIETY.

Il have Negro family in my par
ish," said Brooklyn pastor recently,
and they are an example to the con-
gregation generally. They receive the
Blessed Sacrament daily and are full
of zeal for Gods honor and glory.
They are of the class who have been
fortunate enough to receive a good
education. Two members teach in
public school, while the others are en-
gagged in useful occupations. I have
lost another family who have gone to
distant parish, who have also been
an example to all who have noticed
their piety. | cannot tell you how
much l miss this family-the chill
dren are SO intelligent and have re-
tentive memories When teaching
them Christian doctrine, l have often
been surprised how quickly they
learn the most difficult mysteries
of religion. My only hope is: that
the parish they have settled in will
be more thickly populated with the
coIored people so that their good ex'
ample will take effect and lead to con.
versions"

Manhattan, would be blessing fol

sands of Negroes who would sattend
it, but would never dream of going

The Pastor looked thoughtful and
asserting.
"They make grand Catholics = / con

None BETTER" he answered quickly
"In the SOUTH l said, "the Negro
must have his own church otherwise
he will not go anywhere. That is the
great work Father John E. Burke is
accomplishing = helping to build
churches and schools and pay the
teachers to instruct the colored
people"

"In the great tidal wave of Gal.
weston in 1900 the Sisters of the Ursu.
line Convent saved hundreds of lives.
Regardless of color or religious belief,
they gave a shelter to the homeless,
nursed the sick and comforted the
bereaved in manner that added their
names to the annals of the great.
''In all the history of the world, in
times of stress, the nuns have moved
through the labyrinths of bloody war
and darkness, angels of mercy. The
priests have lifted the weary and aid.
ed them in struggling along stony
paths; they have held the wine of en-
couragement to dying lips and have
made the dying hours of many hope

arm of the other is made necessary

LIVING WITH THE EsKlMos.

The newspapers are filled with the
war, and SO are our letters. The
dominant note is the same, and
whether the letter comes from the
Arctic or the islands of the South
Seas, it is filled with the cry. "This
dreadful war! What will become of
us?" The latest appeal comes from
the frozen North where the conditions
are always particularly trying, but
never more so than at present. The
missionaries are absolutely depend
ent on aims, and these aims must be
gathered during the spring and sum-
mer when the ways are open to their
isolated missions.
The story OF the heroic UrsuIine
nuns is known throughout this coun-
try, but even at that they receive
very little material help. Mother
says she has often had people shed
tears over the recital of their hard
ships, but never a penny to relieve
the distress. There is after all a
comforting satisfaction in shedding
tears. ia,
Mother Amedeus is up in the Arc
tic region living like a native, and
trying with measurable success to
draw the little Eskimos to Christ.
Their food is of the coarsest kind and
their system of heating often suffers
for lack of coal. The latter costs $50 a
ton up that way, SO the Sisters do not
waste any, you may be sure.
Up in the same region but 400 miles
further north are two oblate Fathers,
who have been there for years, work.
ing among the White Eskimos. The
awful isolation of these men and the
mental poise they must have to en-
dure the lonesome life can not be ex-
aggerated. This Arctic district is the
hardest missionary field in the world.
