FRIGHTFUL SLAUGHTER OF IN
FANTS.

Bishop Bermyn, B. F. NJ, Vicar
Apostolic of Western Mongolia, writ
ing from Saratsi tells us that he is
responsible for 3,245 children. These
must be clothed, fed and lodged.
Conditions in Mongolia regarding in
fanticide are deplorable. The most
horrible child-slaughter goes on con-
tinually, custom rendering the natives
quite impervious to the horror of their
inhuman acts
Bishop Bermyn relates many de-
tails with which readers of our column
| are already familiar. To throw these
little ones to the dogs is perhaps the
mode of despatching them that shocks
us most, but many other means are
used. Two brothers are described at
pounding newly-born sister on the
head with stone; drowning, burning
and smothering are resorted to con-
stantly.
The great work of the missionaries
therefore, is to rescue the abandoned
babies, baptize, and if possible restore
them to normal condition. Many
are so affected by neglect that they
die in few days. others live longer,
but only to bear through life the marks
OF their early experience

THE DONA YSOBEL.

nephews, her randchildren-she had
tried to make them all worthy of their
family and their race And with all of
them she had failed. Even the last of
them, in the ill-starred Chubbeens,
she had found little promise and no
fulfillment. And now old age was
upon her, and the shadow of evening
and the sense of utter desolation.
Queenlike, the Dona Ysobel entered
the house. Queenlike she said the An
gelus. Queenlike she sat at table with
her grandchild and partook of the
rigidly canonical collation.. Without a
fiutter of excitement, of even smolder-
ing wrath, she talked with the girl.
They discussed the weather, the pres
ents the mailman had brought to Club
bins, the condition of the Concord
Chapel, the progress being made on
the new electric line that was to join
Walnut Creek with the distant city of
Oakland Chubbins was plainly
flustered and kept up her end of the
conversation with difficulty; but the
Dona Ysobel was at her ease, sedate,
even tactful She was presiding at
the evening meal in the house of the
acknowledgements.
Aided by Martha, a nondescript i'm
portation from Sacramento, who con-
stituted, the sole representative of the
army of servants the old house once
had known Chubbins cleared the table
and washed the dishes. Then, while
Martha hitched the old horse Gorio to
the battered dogcart, she prepared her
self for an evening ride.
81 must go to Martinez, Grandma, y
she said. Father Garden, and per-
haps strange priest, too, will be hear
ing confessions tonight"
The old lady frowned.
"Why must you go to Martinez, and
at night? The Padre Garden will
allow you to confess when confess
in the morning at Concord, before Holy
Mass"
But, Grandma, l must go to con-
fession tonight Il" The explain
alton trailed off into silence.
"Well, Chubbeens, if you must, you
must The night is clear, the road is
good; and you are not afraid"
mo indeed, Grandma I am never
afraid
"In that at least you are worthy of
your family" declared the Dona Yso-
bel, half to herself "A daughter of
the Arguello-y-M ascarenas is never
afraid"
So old Gorio trotted stiff1y down the
shadowy road, Martha walked over to
the nearest neighbor's to spend the
evening and the Dona Ysobel was left
in the old house alone. A heavy black
mantilla wrapped about her shoulders,
she sat on the verandah, her eyes fixed
on the jagged outlines of Mount Dia-
bio, standing out against a luminous
December sky. Now and then motor
car flashed by, headlights flaring forth
streams of yellowish light, voices gay
and youthful for a fieeting moment
striking her ears. Once a dog barked
of somewhere to the right; and once
man trudged unsteadily in the direc-
ton of Concord, his voice raised in
quavering, inebriate song. The Dona
Ysobel shifted disdainfully; a gringo,
he.
And so it was Christmas Eve. Well,
the ghosts of other Christmases were
with the Dona Ysobel In some of
them she was mere child, intent only

BISHOP HURTH RAISES CRY OF
DISTRESS.
Successor to Bishop Carroll in the
Philippines.

When Bishop Carroll, broken down
with the work of the Church in the
Islands, came home to recuperate as
he thought, but in reality to die,
there were few if any priests who
cared to wear the purple of that hard
diocese. Father Hurth of the English
Mill Hill Fathers was the one selected
to stand the hardships of that mission,
and in obedience to the voice of
authority, he set out for his far East
ern mission to be the Bishop of Nueva
Segovia. AS far as poverty and trials
were concerned his Lordship found
them waiting attendance at his new
post of duty. There were plenty OF
souls to save and much work to do,
with poor tools and nearly empty
hands to accomplish it. 1t is to The
Catholic Church Extension Society
that the missionaries in the Islands
turn for aid, and Bishop Hurth was not
slow to follow their example.
Is Not Supplied With Intentions.
"My friends and other acquaintances
ldll W Keep u0 SuL1ClSuCly Supp1ACu
with Mass Intentions" he says in a
letter to the society, II do not know
to whom to appeal if not to you. My
missionaries ask me for Mass Inten-
tons, and l have none to give, and it
is painful to have this to say to
these poor men. If it is possible for
you to do so, will you please send
me some Intentions for them without
delay? And let me keep them most
earnestly recommended to your kind
consideration in your distribution.
do not give up the hope, but that in
the course of time I may succeed in
interesting greater number of friends
in their behalf, but for the present and
for some time to come, we will be very
largely dependent upon you"
Bishop Hurth's cry of distress is an
anxious one He is giving up his
life for the Church in the Philippines
and Mass Intentions for his mission
aries surely cannot be called an ex-
horbitant demand.
Intentions sent to The Catholic
Church Extension Society,", 1888 Nc
Cormick Building, Chicago, will be
gladly forwarded to him.

form the dividing line between Chile
and Argentina. Time has been when
these countries were hostile to each
other, but they are at peace now. On
the top of the great Andes at a pass
where the traveller crosses the noun
tains, there has been erected statue
unlike any that exists anywhere in the
world 1t has a base about ten feet
high made of stone, and upon this is a
heroic sized figure representing the
Galilean with his right hand raised as
if in benediction and his left hand
holding a staff resting upon the
ground. The monument represents the
aspiration that peace may forever eX-
list between the two countries. 1t was
conceived by two pious Roman Cath
olics. From it's towering seat upon the
mountain top it can look down on one
side to Chile, on the other side to
Argentina, and it will stand there prob
ably for centuries. The condor of the
Andes may soar over it; mountain
storms may sing their awful requiem
around it's head the SHOWS of winter
may cover it and the sun of spring
time may shine upon it, but it will
always stand as a monument to the
pious Catholics who conceived it and
to the aspirations for peace OF the two
countries which erected it.
Among the American people are ten
millions who belong to the same
church as the authors of this statue.
In times of war they fought the Re-
publics battles; in times of peace they
are among it's builders and workers.
They belong to great Church that
saved the civilization of Europe in the
dark ages from 500 to 1000. If it had
not been for the Catholic Church, civil
ization would have vanished in the old
world. When the western empire was
overthrow in Ats and the barbarians
of the north swept down upon Italy,
it looked like the star of civilization
was blotted out forever. But the
Church toiled on and worked on; it's
schools and monasteries preserved the
literature of the ancient world, it
established universities in various
parts of Europe. These universities
aided in rescuing the priceless monu-
ments of learning bequeathed to us by
Greece and Rome. In the midst OF
period when might gave right, when
force was the law of the land, when
he took who had the power and he
held who could, the Church still man.

morality and conscience and finally
triumphed, and the dark ages began
to disappear in $500 and civilization
had triumphed.

IGNORANT OF CATHOLIC DOC
TRINE,

1T is a strange and lamentable
fact" writes Rev. J. B. Hemmion in
Truth, that not one Protestant in ten
thousand knows the truth about the
teaching and practice of the Catholic
Church Many do not know that there
was any Christian Church from the
first or second century, until the
Reformation or for about a thousand
four hundred years. And then, vir-
tually, a new Revelation.

wishes to obtain information about
anything, whether political, religious,
scientific, or it matters not what it

who seek to destroy, or who are the
enemies of that which he wishes to
study Not one Protestant in thou
sands ever seeks information concern

sources. The history of Christianity,

fury, is not taught in any Protestant
theological seminary, nor anywhere
else amongst Professionals, as far as
know. Nor is it possessed by Protes-
tants. l have never seen nor heard
of such work, except in Germany. I
studied theology, passed my eXamina-
tions for the Methodist church, and
knew absolutely nothing of Christian
ity, or whether there was any, during
this period. When 1 awoke to the fact
of my dense ignorance, l felt resent
ment; and l confess I do to this day.
"Protestants never think of such a
thing as reading Catholic books, or
periodicals; or anything that smells
of Rome Inever did; any yet was,
of all men, not bigot. 1t is an Unborn
and fostered prejudice of many gen.
erations. But this is not all. Not only
are Professionals absolutely ignorant of
Catholic teaching, practice and his
tory; but they generally believe a dis
torted caricature, and call it Roman

cHINA's HOUR HAS COME.

One of the missionary Fathers of
the Society of the Divine Word who
has some fifty Chinese parishes under
his care spoke most hopefully at the
Missionary Congress in Boston of
present conditions in China. He con-
firmed what has already been said in
The Lamp as to the favorable dis
position of the present Administration
of the Chinese Republic and instanced
how the President when Viceroy, at
the time the Empress Dowager issued
her mandate for the determination of
the Christians and nearly thirty thou
sand were executed in consequence
patched safely to the coast under mill
tary escort the Clergy and native
Christians in his province and thus
saved their lives. The Father also
stated that the Minister of Foreign
Affairs who is probably the most pop
ular man in China, married a Catho-
lie lady some years ago while Minister
to Belgium, and has since himself
been baptized. He laid stress upon
the fact that nearly one-half the
heather population of the world is
Chinese and he described what a mag
nificent conquest for the Cross of
Christ it would be were the four hun
dred million citizens of the celestial
republic made Christian Such mis-
sionary conquest would easily double
the Catholic population of the world
Certainly there is every reason for
America to pour both men and money
into the great missionary field of
China The Catholic Church in this
crisis should not be outdone by the
Protestant denominations.

And you were married?" the Donna
Ysobel asked, her voice very low and
uncertain.
"Oh, no, Grandma. went to con-

sorry for being bad to you this after

The girl paused, for the Dona Ysobel
was looking into her face with eyes
that flashed and scared.
''Tell me, Chubbeens: You are very
fond of this-this Senior Hurley
Then, why did you not go away?"
The girl flung herself forward across
the Dona's knees, vainly struggling to
keep back her tears.

An hour later the bona Ysobel rose
from her knees and crept softly into
Chubbeen's room. The light of the
happiest Christmas was shining in her
eyes, Bending over the bed she
pressed the shadow of kiss upon
the smooth brow of the sleeping girl
Then for long time she stood, queen
like in her joy, gazing down upon the
dark, earnest face with it's full and
rounded lips.
"The good God has sent us happy
