THE LITTLE NEGRO GIRL.

1 noticed her the first time in
church, writes Shiela Mahon, kneel-
ing before the Blessed Sacrament in
prayer. Her big black eyes were fixed
on the tabernacle and the light from
the SANITARY lamp fell on her face,
and to my establishment 1 saw that
she was little Negro girl about thir-
teen years old. So absorbed was the
child that she did not seem aware of
my presence but prayed on with great
fervor. Such prayers thought from a
child of a crucified race must be like
radiant light before the throne of
God. The sight of her awoke thoughts
of the many Negro children who are
walking in the darkness of ignorance
and unbelief with no helping hand to
direct them to a spiritual understand
ing of the things that are of God.
Four million of unbaptized Negroes
in America Christian country-it
seems incredible but it is true. Four
millions of souls calling on us for
spiritual help. So don't forget in your
New Years promises to help in the
conversion of the Negroes. Your help
will bring blessings. Write to the
Metropolitan Building, 1 Madison
Avenue, New York City, and let Father
Burke know how interested you are
in his great work, and if you can con-
tribute somthing, so much the better.

CATHOLIC SCHOOLS AND MORAL.
ITY.

There is one Church which makes
religion an essential in education, and
that is the Catholic Church, in which
the mothers teach their faith to the
infants at the breast in their lullaby
songs and whose brotherhoods and
priests, sisterhoods and nuns imprint
their religion on souls as indelibly as
the diamond marks the hardened
glass. They ingram their faith in
human hearts when more plastic to
the touch.
Are they wrong, are they stupid,
are they ignorant, that they found
parish schools, converts, colleges, in
which religion is taught? Not if a
man be worth more than a dog or the
human soul, with eternity for dura-
ton, is of more value than the span
of animal existence for day. If they
are right, then we are wrong; if our
Puritan fathers were wise, then we
are foolish.
Looking upon it as a mere specula-
tive question, with their policy they
will increase; with ours we will de-
crease. Macauley predicted the en-
durance of the Catholic Church till
the civilized Australian should sketch
the ruins of London from a broken
arch of London bridge. We are no
prophet, but it does seem to us that
Catholics, retaining their religious
teaching and we our heather schools,
will gaze upon Cathedral crosses all
over New England when the meeting
houses will be turned into barns.
Let them go on teaching their re-
ligion to the children and we go on
educating our children in schools with
out a recognition Of God and without
the reading of the Bible, and they
will plant corn and train grapevines
on the unknown graves of Plymouth
pilgrims and of the Puritans of Massa-
chusetts Bay, and none will dispute
their right of possession. We say this
without expressing our own hopes or
fears, but as inevitable from the fact
that whatsoever man soweth that
shall he also reap.

THE VIRGIN MOTHER.

Mother! where virgin bosom was un

With the least shade of thought to sin

Woman! above all women glorified,

Purer than foam on central ocean

Brighter than eastern skies at day

With fancied roses, than the unblem'

Before her wane begins on heavens

Thy Image falls to earth. Yet some,

Not unforgiven the suppliant knee

AS to a visible Power, in which did
blend
All that was mixed and reconciled in
Thee
OF mothers love and maiden purity
Of high with low, celestial with ter

TWO VITAL NECESSITIES.
Press and Schools Wanted to Offset
Protestant Propaganda.

Rev. Vincent Lebbe, of China,
makes an urgent appeal in behalf of
Catholic press and Catholic schools
for the inhabitants of his district. Be
fore the days of the Republic adhe-
rents to the Catholic faith were for
the greater part from the lower class.
Now many of the middle class are
entering the fold. But unless there is
something to offer the people to offset
the intense Protestant and Waterfalls
tic propaganda, China will become like
Japan.
1--WE need at least four schools, .
writes Father Lebbe 'The rent for
these would be $3.50 a year, and this
is beyond our means. But cannot
Catholic America come to our aid,
when Protestant America has done
so much in this very place for her
missionaries? During the past ten
years hundreds of pupils have been
educated in Protestant schools. The
government positions are filled by
Protestants, and a nom Catholic spirit
has spread through all the educated
classes"

God and of One Saviour, and more
especially in their self-sacrifice in the
cause of deserted children and af-
f1icted adults.
Their organization is ahead of any
other, and they are second to none
in zeal and self-sacrifice personally.
One strong point in their arrange
ments is the fact that there is never
break in continuity, while there is
a perfect unity in teaching and prac-
tice, and practical sympathy with
their people in both the life of this
world and the preparation for eternity.
The Roman Catholics were the first
in the field; they are the most widely
spread, and they have the largest mum,

CHINESE PRIEST NEEDS CATE
CHIST.

A native Chinese priest named FIR
Leo Ting, of .Hang-Chow, province OF
Chekiang, China, says he could accom-.
plish a great deal of good if he were
able to keep a catechist. The mission
of Kin-hwa-fu in which he labors pos
sesses a population of 100000, OF
which the Catholics number about $50
AS the area is $50 square miles, it can
plainly be seen that one poor apostle
is able to accomplish little by him
self. The cost of engaging cate
chist is only three dollars month
and it would seem that some charitable
person could come to the assistance
of this good native missionary by
sending a timely offering.

PHILIPPINE REPORT ARRIVES.
Bishop Verbrugge Says Sects Gain
Little and AgIipayanism Is
Losing Ground.

The Catholic Church Extension So
ciety is in receipt of the report: The
Status Animarum of the Mission of
the Mill Hill Fathers in the Philip
pines. These Fathers have put up a
good fight, and they are nearing their
goal Of course their great handicap
is poverty. 1--WE have great obstacles
to conquer and bitter enemies to
fight" said His Lordship, Bishop Yer
year, and that gives us courage and
hope for the future. The public school
system as introduced here is perhaps
the greatest obstacle in our way.
"The parents will at all costs send
their children to those schools, and
though we must give the system credit
for much material good, yet it is an
education without God, and therefore
defective in it's most essential part
and not fit for our children. Of the
thousands of children that frequent
those schools, you might almost count
on your fingers those that come to
church and frequent the sacraments
And yet we are powerless to present
a remedy. Until now every cent we
could spare had to go towards repair
ing converts and churches and when
we began to congratulate ourselves
that things were being in order new
typhoon came and then set us years
backwards, and so we have not been
able to give our full attention to the
work of parochial schools. 1t is not
Professionalism nor Aglipayanism which
is the great enemy, for the former
makes little progress, while the latter
is losing ground every day, but it is
the indifference and coldness of the
parents consequent on the war anC
revolution, and the still worse indif
ference and ignorance of the children
the fruit of a goddess education.
81 have begged again and again fol
more priests, but our poor finances de
not permit of an increase of men, anC
many of the parishes which clamol
for second priest, have to wait be
ing developed for want of the neces
sary funds to bring out more men anG
support them"

Extension Society, 1888 Mccormick
Building, Chicago.
The Bishop has indeed a good re
port make, having had in the past
year, 665 baptisms more than the
previous year, and also having heard
10,340 confessions and given 104,5SS
Holy Communions. He and his priests
have reasons to believe God has
blessed their work.

CATHOLIC MISSIONS.

Sir Robert Hart, Protestant Eng.
lishman, who knows China as we'll if
not better than any European of prom
inence, at a Wesleyan missionary
meeting in England in 1908, paid the
following tribute to Catholic missions ::
Although many of those present
may not agree with me, cannot omit,
on an occasion such as this, to refer
to the admirable work done by the
Roman Catholic missionaries among
whom are to be found the most de-
voted and self-sacrificing of Christ
followers. The Roman Catholic mis-
sionaries have done great work, both
in spreading the knowledge of One

CULTURED CONVERTS.

Conversions in the Diocese of Jaffna,
Ceylon, are not the result of a gen.
eral movement toward Christianity. 1t
is one by one that pagans come into
the Church. ''These pagans are not
barbarians or savages," says Bishop
Joulain, o. M. 1. "They are men of
refined culture and intelligence. They
reason their own beliefs and accept
the true Faith only when grace and
evidence show them clearly that the
Catholic Faith is the only true one
On this account the conversions are
lasting, and it is unheard of that con.
verts to the Faith ever return to
paganism"

WOMEN IN THE MISSION FIELD.

The missions of our day differ from
those of the past, particularly in their
employment of women. The Sisters
in all the missions have made them
selves indispensable. Thus Catholic
young ladies may also participate in
the burdens of apostolic work and in
it's blessings. At present there are
some $4,000 nuns in foreign countries,
who by instructing the heather women
and girls, and attending to their physi-
cal needs, render invaluable service.
Is it not consoling and inspiring to
think how Catholic women are helping
to spread the Gospel?

THE DARK AGES.

In his book Orthodoxy" Gilbert K
Chesterton aptly says: christianity
so far from belonging to the Dark
Ages, was the one path across the
Dark Ages that was not dark. 1t was
a shining bridge connecting two shin
ing civilizations How can
we say that the Church wishes to
bring us back into the Dark Ages
The Church was the only thing that
ever brought us out of them"

his wife, seriously.
"And if you didn't bother yourself
about putting the blue ribbons on the
sandwiches, you'll gain at least half
an hour; and the napkins"
"Of course, couldn't think of doing
everything in one day. I didn't mean
that I was really going to work all
the initials on Monday"
''You see, my dear, you'll have
three hours free to do good act. You
can make a hat for Sara Fallon-an

Arthur" cried Mrs. Bowen,
amazed.
"I've thought it out" said Arthur,
smiling a little shame-facedly. 1t
did not occur to him that he was
trespassing on his wife's domain.
"You see, am going to give up the
box of Henry Clays; half dozen will
be enough. Willard smokes cigarettes
and I'll allow myself just one cigar a
day during Holy Week. Here's the
cash down" He fished out a note
from his wastcoat pocket and handed
it to his wife, with your time and
my money we can make up for the
carelessness of the careless rich" He
laughed.
Mrs. Bowen was silent in amaze
ment. She could do without the blue
ribbons for Tuesday night, she could
do without the mayonnaise for Mon
day night; the tucks, after all, were
luxuries, and the initials on the nap
kins not by any means necessary. But
that her husband should discover this
in such a cold, logical way! She was
inclined to be angry at first. He was
invading her kingdom with a ven

she was a reasonable woman.

again. ITO think of a stupid man

MARY, OUR ADVOCATE.

Says Hawthorne, in "The Blithe-
dale Romance:
81 have always envied the Catholics
in that sweet, sacred Virgin Mary who
stands between them and the Deity
intercepting somewhat of His awful
splendor, but permitting His love to
stream upon the worshipper more in
telligibly to human comprehension
through the medium of woman's ten
derness."

DEFINITION OF A MISSIONARY.

A common sense definition of a good
missionary was given in 1886 to some
thirty-one young priests ready to leave
for Africa by Bishop Riehl, one of the
greatest glories of the African episco-
pate. "You are all going to devote
your life to missionary work. Do you
know" he asked them, what is a real
missionary"
Of course each one had a ready
definition more or less fan
tastic.
mot at ALL" answered the good
Bishop, " a real missionary is the man
who can teach catechism well and in
struct the infidels, to whom he is sent,
in their own language. Go and teach
all nations"

The election yesterday in the coun-
ty passed off quietly, there being a
light vote on account of the splendid
weather, which permitted so many
persons to follow their regular occu-
pations. From the vote received,
which is about complete, with the
exception of Drawbridge and Ell
liott districts, Senator Smith has car
ried the county by majority of from
Is to 25, while Senator Price, the
candidate for Congress-, to succeed
Justice Covington, has lost the coun-
ty by about 125. Senator Smith,
however, is elected by large ma
jority, the estimate from headquar-
ters in Baltimore, this morning, be-
ing that it would reach Is, 900. Con-
gresham Lewis, in the Sixth dis
trict, has won by a substantial ma
jority, while Congressman Talbot, of
the Second district; Coady, Of the
Third, and Linthicum, of the Fourth,
have been reelected. Mudd, Repub-
lican, seems to have beaten Johnson,
the Democratic candidate in the
Fifth district, by about 1000 ma
jority.
The majorities in the counties of
the First Congressional District were
as follows:
