THE POWER OF THE PRIEST
HOOD.

Lecky, in his History of European
Morals" says:
but everywhere amid this chaos of
dissolution we may detect the males
tic form of the Christian priest medi-
ating between the hostile forces,
straining every nerve to tighten the
calamities around him. When the I'M
perial city was captured and plum
dered by the hosts Of Alaric, Chris
tian church remained a secure sane
tuary, which neither the passions nor
the avarice of the Goths transgressed.
When a fiercer than Alaric had
marked out Rome for his prey, the
Pope, st. Leo, arrayed in his sacerdo-
tai robes, confronted the victorious
Hun, as the ambassador of his fellow
Countrymen, and Attila, overpowered
by religious awe, turned aside in his
course. When, twelve years later,
Rome lay at the mercy of Genseric,
the same Pope interposed with the
vandal conqueror, and obtained from
him a partial cessation of the massa-
ere. The Archdeacon Pelagius inter-
Ceded with similar humanity and sim
liar success, when Rome had been cap
tured by Attila In Gaul, Troyes is
said to have been saved from destruc-
ton by the influence of st. Lupus, and
Orleans by the influence of st. Agnan.
In Britain an invasion of the Picts
was averted by st. German of Auxer-
res. The relations of rulers of their
subjects and of tribunals to the poor,
were modified by the same interven-
ton. BY the monks the no
bles were over-awed, the poor protect
ed, the sick tended, travellers shell
tered, prisoners ransomed, the remot-
est spheres of suffering explored

RUNNING A LARGE PARISH ON
FORTY DOLLARS A MONTH.

From another missionary in the
same islands, FIR. j. Kaufman, Con-
vento, San Pedro, Antique, p. l., we
learn that the miserable condition of
his parish compels him to look for
outside help, and he sincerely trusts
that friends of the Society for the
Propagation of the Faith will give him
some assistance.
For long time his people were a
flock without spiritual shepherd, and
the wolf found easy entrance. The
majority fell victims to the pernicious
heresy of Aglipay, and when he took
charge he found only about 400 Cath
olics adhering to the faith of their
fathers.
The old Spanish church had fallen
into decay, and all the timber, furni-
ture, vestments and holy vessels had
been appropriated by unlawful hands.
His first work was to restore the old
walls and roof them Professionally
with palm leaves.
This structure, during the last few
years, has been the victim OF typhoons,
and after being patched and mended
again and again, now seems past re
pair.
"A galvanized iron roof would be the
saving of the church, and the Father
asks us to help him get this money to-
gether.
Touching another note, he says:
For some of us it is even difficult
to get the bare means of living.

month from all sources, even includ-
ing Mass stipends, of not more than
forty dollars With this paltry amount

expenses, keep up make-shift of a

and feed and clothe myself also.

such conditions life out here is not
very pleasant from a worldly point
of view

And thus the days passed on at
Bluff Creek. Few events of impor-
lance came to disturb that lonely spot
out in borderland. The putting of en-
gines, the changing of crews, the
crawling in and out of freight-trains,
the arrival from east and west of the
prairie limited" and the local., were
the only incidents that gave edge to
the life of the people there. Perhaps
the greatest novelty for them was a
visit to the station, when the "over-
land colonist" trains came in, to
watch the motley foreigners from
various countries of Europe, on their
way to the western provinces, in their
strange costumes, crowding around
the lunch counters and babbling in
unknown tongues.

at Bluff Creek; for although the spe.

IN UNKNOWN BRAZIL.

In the story, ACROSS the Unknown
Brazil there is a wonderful testi-
mony borne to the missionary and civ
liking powers and zeal of the Catholic
Church. In the heart of Brazil, on the
edge of the unknown vast continent, in
the interior of South America, the adj
venturous traveller, Henry Savage Lam
dor, came on settlement of the Sale
sian Fathers, who had set up their
tents in the jungle and forest regions
by the banks of the Araguaya river,
an enormous tributary of the still
more enormous Amazon river, where
they were living in peace with the ma
tive Indians, the only tribes who inhab-
it this beautiful but deserted land. Mr..
Lander observes, although | am not
a Roman Catholic, l must give testi-
mony to the work the Fathers had ac-
complished in this region. They had
cultivated great stretches of the land,
had built a small meteorological obser-
vatory, and worked hard among the
Indians, teaching them their religion,
and also agriculture and all kinds of
trades. The gentleness of the Fathers
towards the Indians was admirable,
and they were worshiped almost by
the natives in those remote regions
This is great testimony today, as al
ways, to the missionary zeal, the love
of doing good, the desire to preach the
Gospel and teach the poor heather the
knowledge of the true God in a far
away world, where the only reward to
their zeal and goodness was one day
or other to die unknown, with no other
record than that they had died in the
service of their God.

Father O'Reilly back to something like
health. The poverty and the neglected
condition of the poor Mexicans APP
pealed to him strongly, and, when he
was only half on the road to recovery
he asked permission to work in Texas
and attend to the spiritual wants of
the Mexicans. His request was
granted, and Padre Particle as his
new spiritual children call him, found
his life work while waiting for death.
Prior to going down to. Texas,
Father O'Reilly was in charge of the
department of Romance languages at
one of the great Catholic Universities,
when he developed lung trouble. Tex
as held out a vague hope for recovery,
and to Texas he was sent.

CHILDISH HERoIsM.

This story of the perseverance of a
little boy in India, who of his own ac-
cord decided to become a Christian, is
told by Brother Groussault, o. NJ. l.,
whom we know as an ardent worker in
Jaffna, Ceylon. The missionaries there
conduct Patronage for boys which is
something more than school In it
the children study, play and learn the
principles of Christian life
One day little pagan boy of eleven
years came to the Patronage to take
part in the games. Influenced by the
good words and behavior of his Catho-
lie companions, he asked to be bap-
-tized. This, of course, could not be
done without some preparation and in
struction, aud, furthermore, since the

LATEST REPORT OF THE PEKIN
MISSION.

The latest report of the missions of
Pekin and Northern Tehel, which are
confded to the Lazarists, gives these
figures:
Number of Christians, 1885,;
adults baptized during year, 37,465;
European Lazarist priests, %; Euro
pean secular priests, 6; Chinese Lazar-
lists, 9; Chinese Seculars, 35.
There are 81 churches, sos chapels,
and % oratories. The nuns number
los, of whom 40 are Sisters of Charity
and SIS Sisters of st. Joseph. There
are also 46 Marist Brothers,, 20 being
European and IL Chinese.
In the 10 dispensaries 352, 1877 sick
were treated. The 1890 schools give
instruction to 1895 boys and girls.
1t will be seen that the Chinese
themselves bear large share of the
apostolic burden, as they are well
represented among the priests, nuns
and brothers.

the distinguished artist-operator by
dint of hard work and unlimited patti

unusual scenes ever obtained in any
climate. For instance he stood by a
hole in the ice for nine consecutive
hours awaiting the appearance of a
high Waddell seal, and secured a mo-

the ice with his teeth"-a fact never
