MARY SENT FOR ME-.


A White Father of the Villa Maria
mission in Uganda tells how three
years ago an old negro was led to en-
brace the Faith through the instru-
mentality of the Blessed Mother.
Early one morning" he writes, 4
noticed two negroes hurriedly carry
ing something to the Mission. They
had their burden wrapped in a silk
cloth and laid it with great care at my
feet. Imagine my establishment when
l saw their bundle contained a human
being, very old, half-starved negro.
Painfully the old man stretched his
arms and legs. the fleshless joints
cracked like breaking twigs. He was
one of those negroes, old as the hills
he was born among, who have many
years concealed themselves from Us
through the superstitious fear that
our glance brings with it instant death.
After the aged man had somewhat
recovered, he painfully and with many
Interruptions told us his wonderful

MANY MISSIONARIES IN NEED,

The other day a story was told of
and was thereby enabled to walk to
work. That meant a saving Of ten
cents day, or over $26 a year. The
girl gave that amount to the missions.
There is hardly one person reading
this who could not make some little
sacrifice, and make it willingly in order
to augment the work Of the mission
aries in our country They are working
under unimaginable difficulties. Few.
others are called upon to stand the
hardships which they accept willingly.
There are many Catholics who could
easily give $500 to the cause of
extending the Kingdom of God in
America. The needs of many missions
are terrible, and the money given to
help the priests is little or nothing,
The records in the Offices of the Cath
Ollie Church Extension Society contain
the names of needy missions where
help must be forthcoming. Will you
do anything to spread the Kingdom of
Christ? Can you help any of these
missions? Will you?
The first mission is under the charge
of Rev. j. Aymeni, it is in Arizona.
That is enough to impress upon your
mind that it is poor; the people can
give little or no assistance. 5000 is
needed for repairs on church and rec
tory, and Bishop Granjon is DESTROYS
of securing it for this priest. It is
better to spend a little money on re-
pairs than a great deal of money to
remedy neglect. $500 is what is
needed for this mission. All or any
part of it will be gladly received.
The second mission is under charge
of the franciscan Fathers, Father
Francis of the Sacred Heart makes
the, appeal for his people, about 85 in
number, for $500 for a church to be
called st. Mary's. 1t is situated in the
State of Washington. The pathetic
thing about this mission is that the
settlement is almost entirely Catholic
and if help is not sent them, there is
little or no probability that the people
will be saved to the Faith. Now is the
acceptable time to help them.
The third mission is under the
charge Of the Jesuit Father, Rev. E.
de Rouge, S. j., who has accomplished
SO much for religion in what was once
veritable wilderness. He has built
a home for Indian children, established
the Society of Lady Catechists to train
them, and has been the instrument by
which great things have been accom-
plished. He asks for $500 for church,
which he will call st. Mary's Church.
The fourth mission is under the care
of the Benedictine Fathers in Louis
lana who are asking for $3.50 to $500
for church to be called Ste. Gene

neglected; at least Catholics of happier
circumstances had done but little to
help his people. There are many
Mexicans there, and they especially
have been neglected. Not long ago
the Bishop wrote in to the Catholic
Church Extension Society, and de-
scribed the poverty of his missions.
There are many chapels needed and
many of the existing chapels are with
out even the bare necessities for the
carrying out of religious worship. The
Society would like to furnish the
Bishop with the church goods he thinks
necessary for furnishing the various
chapels in his diocese, at least in
part. There are many jealous Catho-
lies who are anxious to do something
for God in the person of His poor
missionary priests. Here is chance.
The chapels under the care of Bishop
Nussbaum are poverty stricken. 1t is
not every Catholic who can afford to
erect a chapel in some poor mission
district, but many Catholics could do
one thing for the Lord. They could
give one gift. We are giving a list
of the things Bishop Nussbaum wants

sad hours my most devoted friends
were Catholics. Others took my
money and gave me scant pity. Was
it miracle or Gods will? At any
rate, the dear wife rallied, and while
not strong, she has been able to do
her own homework, and much for
others.
This was five years ago. When i
offered to pay these good Sisters of
Charity for what they did for me,
they babe me bide my time and to

could for the poor and suffering. They
knew my faith was not theirs. They
did not chide me, nor pass me by, but
as true followers of Christ they
served, they gave me the best they
had. This is a true story out of my
own life, and have ever since blessed

CHURCH GOODS WANTED.

There are many priests who are Ia
boring in mission districts who have
not the necessities of worship in their
churches. 1t is a great hardship on
them to have no fit place in which to
offer UP the Holy Sacrifice of the
Mass. 1t is a certain thing that the
fervor of their congregations would be
increased if the saw their little
churches neatly furnished. Catholics
who have little more than the peo-
pie on these missions would reap much
spiritual good from doing an act of
charity to these missions by enabling
the missionaries to beautify the house
of God.
There is Washington priest, Fa-
Their Flavin is his name, who has put
in much hard labor in ministering to
souls in out of the way places in that
state. He has built more than one
chapel. Now he is trying to furnish
one, and he find it a difficult task.
Oftentimes the Reverend clergy send
in things to the Catholic Church
Extension Society for distribution
among these poor priests. Father
Flavin wants sanctuary lamp and a
statue of st. Joseph for whom the
church is named. The Society can ar
range to send very beautiful statue
of st. Joseph, feet high (the size he
wants., for $25 f. b. destination,
but if any generous benefactor of Elk
tension Society has statue of st.
Joseph, which he or she will give to
Father Flavin, send it on. 1t should
not be more than feet high.
There are many other things that he
needs, and we believe there are Cath
olics enough to satisfy his needs.
Here is the list of them, and what
they will cost. Surely, there are many
clients of st. Joseph who will help
him out. We can send him
sets of vestments-white,
