PRIEST PLAYS MEDICINE MAN TO
NATIVES.

Rev. W. Cain, priest belonging to
Congregation of the Mill Hill Fathers,
is playing a truly heroic role in what
is perhaps as poor a parish as the
Philippine Islands can boast of. Fa-
Their Cain is a missionary who is with
out one cent of income, and who sub
sists solely upon the offerings for
Mass Intentions, and at times these
are slim enough. The Catholic Church
Extension Society has tried hard to
send this valiant worker in that pow
erty stricken district enough Inten-
tions to keep body and soul together,
but there are hundreds of other
priests who look to the society for
help in the matter of Intentions, and
although for the month of February
alone there, were offerings for one
thousand and thirteen Masses to be
said, yet the society could easily send
forth two thousand more Intentions
each month to the poor missionaries
who are clamoring for them.
Father Cain has started a school
in his house for the poor children.
He is indeed working under terrific
difficulties, obstacles that would break
the heart even of a missionary.
His people have been so poor that
they have had to dig in the ground
for roots to eat, and the poor, starved
creatures would then run to him to
cure them of their ills. He is the

the community. He spoke of the
Church as model to be followed, in
her care for fallen women, for her in
difference to politics, and for her in
terest in the temperance question.
Against the many insinuations about
the interference of the Church in
politics, the Judge says pertinently:
1T is unnecessary to remind you
that it was because of the interference
of the Church in politics that our fore
fathers came to this country. One of
the foundation stones upon which the
colonies and afterwards the various
commemorative was founded was the
theory that the Church and the state
should be divorced and kept so. A
large part of the vast immigration to
this country has been prompted by a
desire to escape from political inter-
ference with religion, or religious in
reference with politics, one of which
unfailingly follows the other. And in
the political experience of our own
country but few things have aroused
81 IluCu UIlJC1nC6O dO IlO
attempt of religious bodies to influence
elections. And right here, it may not
be improper for me to say that, asso-
ciated as have beeen for many years,
with political organization composed
in large measure of those of the
Roman Catholic faith, have yet to
see the first indication of effort on the
part of that Church to influence I'M
duly elections in it's own behalf.
"While some ministers, unfortunate
ly some of our own denomination,
are writing slushy articles overfiowing
with sentimentality and unfounded on
fact, calculated to increase discomfort
with conditions which may be
ameliorated, but not radically
changed, the Roman Catholic Church
is energetically combating in pulpit
and press the socialistic tendencies of
our times"

WAITING CATHOLICS.

In the simplicity of their hearts
many missionaries think that one let
ter of appeal put before the public
will bring in an ample harvest of
offerings. They are very often, alas,
doomed to disappointment Such has
been the experience of FIR. Thirty, P. F..
NJ, of Nagasaki, Japan. We published
not long ago a letter telling of his
desire to rebuild church for the
Christians under his charge. These
good Catholics are the descendants of
the early martyrs of Japan, and have
preserved the Faith secretly and
under great difficulty for many years.
Their first little chapel has fallen in
ruins, and it would seem that their
fidelity deserves reward in the shape
of a proper place in which to wor-
ship. FIR. Thirty says that he sees the
year of 1915 approach with real ter
ror, since he has thus far been able
to accomplish so little. Still confid-
ing in Providence, however, he hopes
that another cry of distress will bear
results.

AT sIxTY-TWo, A MISSIONARY is
STILL AMBITIOUS.

Very pathetically FIR. c. M. Mignery,
P. F. NJ, wonders if at the age of
sixty-two years he will be permitted
to live long enough to build two other
chapels in the district of North Arcot
India. 1t must be remembered that
much time is required to gather funds
in the mission countries, and at
sixty-two the strength of an Indian
missionary has been severely taxed.
FIR. Mignery tells about his work in
Tiruvetipuram in these words:
''In 1894 the idea came to me one
day to ascend the mountain. Arrived
at the summit, | seated myself upon
rock and contemplated the inn
mense and beautiful plain below.
Yet how sad it was to think that this
vast area was peopled entirely with
pagans! / prayed with all my strength
that God might shower His grace
upon those souls plunged in dark
ness. The answer to my prayer came
in December, 1898, when | had the
happiness of baptizing sixty pagans
of the city of Tiruvetipuram. To-
day the same place has a Catholic
parish of 500 neophytes..
"Since those first feeble steps, con
tinual progress has been made, and
other villages have been offering
their sheep to the fold Thousands
of converts now enliyen the pagan

all poor pariahs, and much in need

BENEDICTINES UNEARTH OLD
ALTAR.

The Benedictine Fathers on the
Kentucky missions are doing great
work for the salvation of the souls en-
trusted to them. Their stations are
poor indeed, but their poverty does
not stand barrier in their way when
it comes to embellishing the house of
God and identifying "the place where
His Glory Dwelleth." They are anx-
ious to have clean and nicely fur
nished churches.
eff you ever run across some pious
benefactor who wishes to do special
honor to the Most Sacred Heart of
Jesus" writes Father Ambrose, o. S.
B., to the Catholic Church Extension
Society, 81 wish you would say word
in my favor. When this Church was
built some fifteen years ago, we I'M
earthed an old unused altar in the
basement of st. Boniface's Church,
and this old altar has served us ever
since. l have painted it several times,
but you cannot make new altar out
of an old altar by painting it. Now
this altar has a beautifully carved
Mensa, and it is worth renovating. If
We could but find somebody who
would bear the expense of renovating
it and of building Gothic top on it,
we would have an excellent High Al
tar. The Mensa is ten feet long.
believe a hundred dollars would put
it in first class condition. The taber-
nacle is well carved too, but badly
broken. To repair it would probably
cost more than new one"
The Churches in out of the way
places would certainly draw more
strangers into the fold if there was
but some semblance of beauty to them.
OF course any place having the facili-
ties of having Mass said is great
blessing to the Faithful who surround
its affairs, but the place where is kept
the Blessed Sacrament ought to be kept
scrupulously clean and in the best of
taste. The Catholic Church Extension
Society sent some sacred vessels to
Father Ambrose. They had to be re-
plated but the priest hailed their re.
ceipt with joy.
The Society has many churches on
its waiting list and begging for vest.
ments, chalices, and any sacred yes.

gy, who if they but knew this would be
only too glad to send the Society such
among their sacred vessels as they
have no further use for. Things that
seem very ordinary and even common

city parish appear as veritable God

Father Ambrose has been living for
a long time in one room behind the
church, but he viii soon be able to
move into an old school building, for

residents of Korea, Father Ferrand,
should the necessary arise, could adj
dress himself to the work of the
Korean mission, for he is the master
of that language, as well as several
of the Chinese dialects, and he writes
excellently well in English. The
good man has been all over the coun-
try locating mission stations among
the Catholic Japanese who have set
tied in Korea, and, as he is the only
priest who speaks Japanese, his Ia
bors are naturally severe. In a re-

AN INSPIRATION TO PROT
ESTANTISM.

Not all of the editors of Methodist
journals see only evil in the Catholic
Church. The editor of the North
western Christian Advocate was cen
sured by a correspondent for seeing
anything good in the Catholic Church.
The editor thereupon came out man
fully with the following statement:
''We repeat: The Roman Catholic
Church is doing much good along GER
tain lines. We might, indeed, emulate
that body in it's far-reaching, Church
erecting policy. Professionalism builds
for the immediate future; Roman
Catholics for the century. That
Church, it is generally conceded, pos
sesses an acumen in things temporal
that might well be sought by Prot
estants. The Roman Catholic Church
has been an inspiration to Protestant
ism in the development of the ministry
to the suffering. Our deaconess move
ment was stimulated by her Sisters of
Mercy"

THE PREFECTURE OF NORTHERN
TRANSVAAL.

The Very Rev. Prefect-Apostolic
in the last war 1899-1902, and are
miserably poor. Before the war,
their ministers were paid by the gov
eminent. Now they must pay the
salary, and of course mo pay no
preachers" In the last three years
we have received several of them in
to the Church. Up to few years
ago, the Beers as a rule succeeded
in robbing the Irish soldiers of the
faith after they had left the military
service. Their descendants have in
many instances even lost the use of
the English language. Amongst our
first converts we had several with
good Irish names, who had to be in
structed in Dutch. The Beers are
even up to now of the very fanatical
Calvinist type, and the many des-
cendants of Huguenot who after their
expulsion from France found their
way to South Africa via Holland were
more bitter. Since they came into
contact with priests speaking their
own language prejudice has subsidized
considerably and they are no longer
afraid of sending their children to
our Catholic schools. The Dominican
Sisters have opened boarding school
for those children.
The few white Catholics in the
Prefecture are poor; the total income
last year from all sources within the
Prefecture was less than $3.50. Our
missions are quite unable to help
themselves. The mission of Northern
Transvaal is probably the most needy
mission in the world To mention
few of our trials, let me state that
on account of drought 1 have not

three. years. East coast fever. has
almost wiped out the cattle; horse
disease exists to such an extent that
almost all the freighting is done by
donkeys. Clouds of locusts are oc-
casional visitors. The thermites or
white ants destroy our huts and cha
pels, unless they be built of more
resisting material than we can af-
ford.

ONLY THE CATHOLIC CHURCH
CAN SOLVE THE NEGRO
PROBLEM.

There is a side to the picture of the
present status of the colored people
that the Negro Business League does
not disclose. Despite the success of
those negroes who cling to the farm,
the one place where they can COM
pete with their white neighbor with
out serious danger of discrimination,
the vast majority are fleeing from it
to the cities, where they are prone
to learn the vices of the whites rather
than their virtues. And in town and
country the lesson of vice is nearest
to them. In slavery days they learned
courtesy and respect for authority
and usefulness of service, and much
of the higher qualities of Christian
civilization from mistresses whose
teaching and watchful kindness begat

dead That the young negro is lack
ing these qualities is not altogether
his fault. Emancipation set up
wall between him and those who were
capable of guiding and controlling
him, and left him free to associate
only with those whites who are the
most vicious of their race. He went
to school and learned to read and
write and aspire to the pleasures of
an easy life, but not to work; and
hence his. increase in literacy too
often spells a decrease in character.
His religious guidance is now monop-
olized by the colored preacher, who
has usually very little of religion. or
morality to impart, either by word or
example. The negro birth-rate is de-
creasing, while infant mortality is not,
and vices are rampant that were I'M
known under slavery. BY natural in
crease there ought to be much more
than ten million negroes, and the fact
that large proportion of these is
not negro, but merely more no less
colored, is eloquent of many evils
which their present education is not
calculated to eradicate or lesson.
We know that true religion is the
one effective remedy, and many of
the negro leaders are also aware of
it. The Catholic Church alone vel
