DEVOTION TO THE BLESSED
VIRGIN.

An English archdeacon of an Angli.
can diocese in South Africa-Dr
Wingman-gives expression, in one OF
his recent publications, to some re
markable thoughts on the Blessed Vir.
gin-remarkable that is, from a non.
Catholic. Here is some of what he
says:
81 am absolutely convinced that the
neglect amongst us (Anglicans) of
true teaching upon the position of
the Blessed Virgin Mary in the
economy of redemption has weakened
our witness to the central truth of
the Incarnation and has made possible
amongst us a revival of the Corinthian
heresy with regard to the virgin con-
>ception and virgin birth of Our Lord.
The opinions of the fathers and the
councils of the Catholic Church have
a claim upon our thoughtful consider
alton. If we never asked the Blessed
Virgin and the saints in glory to pray
for us, our devotions would be robbed
of a richness and fervor which are
naturally enkindled by the thought of
the golden walls full of Odors, which
are the prayers of the saints, offered
for us. We cannot believe that we
are we'll pleasing to Our Lord when
we sever ourselves from communion
with His Mother and His friends

are they eclipsed by the splendid
school buildings the Professionals are
erecting and wherein the Filipino chill
dren are receiving a free education
but goddess one.
Father Cornelius Vugts, a Jealous
missioner in the Islands, writes in
most pitiful strain to the Society:
81 am really in great difficulty,
he says, "and unless some good bene
factor comes forward my school will be
closed"
If this school is closed and these
little ones of God deprived of Chris
tian education, we the American Cath
olics will surely be held not entirely
guiltless. They are our charges, Spain
took good care of them when she had
them. She sent her padres over there
and opened up schools, and she sent
her nuns there and opened up acad.
emies. And Spain is poor in com
parison with the wealth that is in our
country. A thousand dollars would
put Father Vugts' mission and his
school on a sound financial basis. 1t
would mean that the faith of these
children attending it would be con-
served. 1t would not be lost in the
goddess public schools. What will you
do for this missionary?

of their loyalty to the Church. The
thing that makes us glad is the pos.
sibility that their action will stir up
Professionals to realize how superlative-
ly stupid they have been concerning
| the religious instruction of children.
| The Roman communion is always
setting us an impressive example in
this respect, which the blindest of us
cannot fail to note, but which the
majority of us treat with amazing
disregard. Under the limitations of
our public school system religious in
struction as part of the curriculum
seems to be impossible. The conse-
quence is that the majority of Protes-
tant children, especially in the great
cities, receive very inadequate relig-
ious training, and many of them do
not have any which is worthy of re-
spect. Religious teaching in the home
is by reason of our complex and
rapid life reduced to slender amount
and thinned to the consistency of
cruel. Our children spend an hour
or an hour and half at Sunday school
once a week. Other agencies are en-
ployed by the Church to reach such
children as are committed to it's care
by that very small proportion of our
people who take any interest what
ever in giving the Church a chance
at childhood. Earnest PASTORS supple
ment the regular activities in behalf
of children with such special atten-
ton as they are enabled to bestow
upon this vastly important matter.
But Protestant children as a whole,
counting them as the Catholics enum-
crate theirs, on the basis of a tradi-
tional but usually loose association
of their parents with the churches, are
to very considerable extent without
efficient religious instructions.
1t is perfectly absurd for us to be-
come hysterical over the entirely
proper concern of the Roman Catholic
Church for the religious instruction
of it's children, as though an organized
attempt were being made to paganize
childhood, while we sit idly by and
permit our children to grow up with
out suitable religious culture. Ii
Professionals cannot see in what direc-
ton this index finger of our times
is pointing, then it is high time that
our religious journals should every
where raise strident alarm, not
against Romanists for being true to
their principles, but against Protes-
tants for their unmitigated folly in
allowing the precious opportunities
they have to slip away unused. We
make no apology for having COM
mended Roman Catholic sense and
enthusiasm, and we devoutly pray
that there may be born among the
Protestant teachers of this country an
intelligent zeal for religion akin to
that so worthily displayed by these
faithful teachers of the Roman Cath
Ollie Church.

ciety is in receipt of many letters from
the Bishops and priests laboring in
the Philippine Islands, who are plead
ing for help. The Society took the
Right Reverend Bishop Doherty under
it's wing when he came to the States
to collect funds for his needy diocese
and indeed the Catholics were very
generous to him. But it is not every
Bishop and indeed few if any priests
who can leave their stations long
enough to collect money for the main
tenance Of their works. The hard
ships of the missionaries in the
Philippine Islands seem almost in
credible to occidental ears. They
have the devastated field left from the
revolution on which to work, and the
Indifference of even the Catholics witt
which to contend. The war has lef
it's imprint upon the souls of the PEG
pie, and even before they could re
cover from its effects Protestant mis-
sionaries were in the field, with theil
free schools, their free dormitories
and their free books. Though wise
enough to confine the different sect:
to different districts, so as not tt
scandalize the natives with their un
believable variations, this very wis
dom seems to have milatated agains
the Church. The Filipino people hat
an enemy in their own household il
the Aglipayan schism, and even though
that is in the throes of death, surely
it cannot be said to have strengthened
their faith.
If American Catholics would but
continue to extend a helping hand tt
these little brothers, the Church il
the Islands would in a few years be
on a sure basis. The missionaries
have barely enough to eat. Theil

WONDERFUL PROGRESS IN
UGANDA.

Bishop Biermans has made a re-
sumo of his report, made last Novem-
Der to Cardinal Gotti, covering the first
year of his episcopate. 1t is most
consoling report and shows remarkable
progress, a progress which cannot but
continue under the indefatigable zeal
of the new Bishop, who never spares
himself.
Nine new Fathers of the Mill Hill
Missionary College have been added
to the priests in the vicariate Of the
Upper Nile, together with three Sis
tiers. During the month of December
ten more Fathers arrived, this being
subsequent to the sending of the re
port, the total addition to the staff
of the vicariate being twenty-five. Dur
ing the year the number of catechists
was increased by eighty and the mum
Der of catechumenates, or places of in
struction for converts, increased by
lis. The increase all along the line
was as follows: Catechumens, 8,349;
school children, 9,67S; confessions
1875; Communions, ,22,893. 1t would
be interesting to know the actual mum
bers, especially of catechumens, OF
converts under instruction, during the
past year, but the Bishop did not state
it, only the increase over the number
of the previous year.
Two missions abandoned for want Of
priests have been reopened, four new
missions started, and five more are or

schools and houses of some kind have
been erected, together with chapels
and churches in several missions, as

impervious to reason, and in the big

propriety and dignity to continue in a
union which was not true marriage

he tells his own story. He tells how

band fell down the cellar steps two
weeks ago.. A post norton was held

number of bruises On the body. which
were several days old and that a clot
of blood which likely came as a re-
suit of the fall down the cellar steps
caused death.

cided that an inquest was not neces-
sary. The police department is in
vestigating. Detective White who w.
on the case is of the opinion hat there
was no foul play.

Carranza and Villa declared they eX-

Carranza would send agents to confer

going to be good. and that is Bristol's
Ponies. The ponies have played the
town several times and have always
been big favorites, especially with the
ladies and children. At the park the
ponies will be on exhibition while
they are not performance on the stage,
thus giving the Riddles a good chance
to become intimately acquainted with
their equine friend
Bond and Casson will be another
prominent feature of the park bill
this week in a song novelty called I'm

probably the classiest singing offer
ing that has played the park this sea-
son. George Louder, a ventrilioquist
from Australia, said to be the best
mimic in the business; Ben Edwards,
ragtime xylophonist, and Mabel Janot,
singing Coincidence, will complete the
bill. A fireworks display will be the
big attraction at the park on Friday
evening, and If the show is as good
as 1t was last Friday no one car afford

Republican Gains in
All Parts of Country
Strciol 10 The Tclcrrath

Washington, d. c., July 6.-Official
figures of recent elections, primaries
and registrations. in different parts OF
the country, reveal sweeping Republi-
can gains and corresponding Demo
cratic and Progressive losses. A care
full analysis of these figures, jusa COM
pleted, shows Enthusiastically that the
trend of political sentiment from
Maine to California is back to the Re-
publican party.
The figures show that the condition
that resulted In the election of Wilson
is wiped out and tina the readjust-
ment has been favorable to the Re-
publican party in every instance. The
total vote in primaries and Congress
sional elections was, in most cases, less
than that in the Presidential election
two years ago, but even in these in
stances the Republicans gained.
In the Seventh district of New Jer-
sey, the total vote in the Congress
sional election fell away forty per
cent, vet the Republican gain was
as per cent. ove 1912. In the Second
Iowa district. the decrease in the
total vote, compared with 1912, was
3S per cent, vet the Republican gain
was 81 per cent. In the Senatorial
primary in Pennsylvania the total
vote was 40 per cent. less than the
total vote in the Presidential election
two years ago, but the Republican
gain was 81 per cent.
One of the most significant of the
returns is hat of the Minnesota
