Three Sisters devote themselves to
caring for the victims of the pest. The
terrible sights, the misery they looked
upon would make the stoutest hearts
quail Whole families were often car
ried off in "a few days. Here and there
they found single living person lying
helpless beside his dead relatives or
children, In every case the kind nurses
did what they could to ease the suffer
ings of the dying, and where children
were left orphans they brought them
home to be cared for.
The dead being too numerous to be
buried according to custom, and there
not being enough wood to burn the
bodies, the government purchased a
large tract OF land and inferred the
dead without regard to caste, and so
near the surface that jackals and
hyenas came and dug up the corpses
to deyour them. Crossing a cemetery
on their way to visit the sick the nuns
found themselves in a mass of skulls
and bones that had been left by prowl-
ing animals. The experience called
for fortitude on the part of the Sisters.

THE CHAPEL STENoGRAPHERs
WILL BUILD.

The interest manifested in the Ste
nographers' Chapel Fund seems spread
ing. The fund has now passed the hun
dred mark and still the stenographers
of the country, and even those of Can
ada are sending in donations. With
each dollar donation-and many have
sent in more than the even dollar
the privilege of giving name to the
Chapel is given. There are indeed,
many selections, but the great choice
of the majority so far has been for
calling it the Chapel of Jesus and
Mary. And too, there have been all
kinds of reasons for these gifts. There
are many Catholic stenographers,
eager to do little missionary work,
and yet who do not feel that they
alone, could build chapel, and so
this fund has been organized for the
purpose of allowing them to build a
chapel collectively. Many hands
make light work." and too we hope the
day will not be far distant when the
chapel built by stenographers will do
much in carrying on the work of
Christ and the Church in some poor
desolate mission.
Here are a few excerpts of the let
ters accompanying the gift of the
Chapel Fund:

think the name of Jesus and Mary is
as good as can be given"
Another writes:
Il have learned that the stenograph-
ers are to build chapel Enclosed is
my dollar and would suggest calling it
st. Josephs Chapel"
There are many clients of st. Joseph
sending in donations.
II think the project is a splendid
one," writes another stenographer,
"and am sure it will have the enthu-
siastic support of every Catholic ste
nographer who hears of it,
Donations sent to the offices of the
Catholic Church Extension Society,
Mccormick Bldg,5 Chicago, will be
gladly added to the fund.

FATHER BRADY ENABLED TO
BUILD cHAPELS.

Rev. Thomas j. Brady, a missionary
laboring in the Baker City diocese and
attending a little parish of over nine
thousand square miles, made a plea
some time ago through the pages of
Extension Magazine for means to en-
able him to build churches in his vast
territory, and the result has been that
$1,000 for three chapels has come in
for him. Father Brady is greatly
pleased over these gifts, for he was
almost discouraged. He had worked
so hard, and the results were so dis
heartening for the simple reason that,
owing to the fact that there were no
churches for his people, the fruits of
his teachings could not be conserved,
nor could the faithful receive the sac
raments with anything like regularity.
''The cry of distress out here said
Father Brady, 'tas real and as soul
stirring as any existing in China or
Africa, is not for salaries for priests,
household expenses (no priest in this
whole diocese has a housekeeper) !,
compensation for teachers, but for the
churches, involving an outlay of from
fifteen to two thousand dollars. My
ambition is to build churches out here

ity is now at hand if ! can get the

course, conserving, these churches will
be named after Ireland's Apostle. |
lay this appeal in his hands, begging
him to present it to the Divine Heart.
Father Brady has certainly expert
enced all the hardships which mission
aries in our own modern America are
made to endure.

in my cause and proud of my ances-

The words of Father Brady are elo-
quent enough. None of ours need be
added to them. Donations for his mis-
sions may be sent to the Catholic
Church Extension Society, whose eff
fees are located in the Mccormick
Building, Chicago.

THE SPIRIT THAT ANIMATEs
THE MISSIONARY.

A traveller among the mountains of
South America once came upon a
Catholic missionary living at an iso-
lated mission station. Seldom did this
holy priest see a white mans face,
rarely did a letter come to cheer his
existence.
Father asked the traveller, fare
you very lonely here? Do you not con-
slider your life wasted in this remote
and uncongenial place, among natives
who are almost savages?"

GIFTS FOR THE SACRED HEART.

The little churches built by friends
of the Catholic Church Extension So
ciety have worked wonders in this
country toward realizing the hope ex-
pressed by Plus the Tenth of holy
memory, that all things be restored in
Christ, the faith has been saved to
many people, and that because of these
chapels innumerable souls have been
saved to God and the Church there is
little doubt. In the course of the ten
years of its existence one thousand and
sixty-five new churches have been
erected through the Extension Society.
There are few ways of honoring the
Sacred Heart of Jesus more practically
than in building these little chapels-
full who have been forgotten, and
whose faith is in danger of death, may
receive the Sacraments of the Church
There is a place in the state of
Washington where the people travel
twenty miles to hear Mass. There are
Hixty-five souls there and they have no
chapel-$500 would build one. 1t could
be given in honor of the Sacred Heart
of Jesus by deyout lovers of 1t.
Five hundred dollars would erect a
chapel for forty-five souls in a little
place in Arkansas. Now Mass is said
in a mere howell.
There is a churchless place in Mis-
souria colony of Polish and Slayish
people, consisting of seventy-five souls.
Five hundred dollars would erect one
In honor of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
A place in Maryland needs $500 for
a chapel for an Italian colony. The
people will donate the timber and help
build. At present the people have not
the opportunity to attend Mass. They
may be lost to the faith. Will the low
ers Of the Sacred Heart refuse to help
them retain this great gift?
OF course, we know that but few .peo-
pie give the full sum. But the widows
mite is not despised. 1t is upon the
sacrifices of the poor that the great
things are built Donations may be

THE UNDYING INFLUENCE OF ST
FRANCIS XAVIER.

A Protestant woman missionary re-
lating her experiences in Japan spoke
of the wonderful influence of st. Fran
els Xavier exercised over the country,
and told the story which has so often
appeared of late in our publications,
regarding the preservation of the Faith
by the early Catholics for three hun
dred years:
The first question the Japanese put
to our Protestant missionaries, she
said, is this: Are you Catholic !?
Are you disciple OF. Francis Xavier?
Do your priests have wives? Do you
believe in the Real Presence? Do you
pray to the Blessed Virgin?' And
being unable to receive satisfactory
answers, they go away shaking their
heads and will have none of us. The
spirit of Francis Xavier lives. 1t is
the greatest hindrance to our Prot
estant missionary effort, she said.

THE MODERN SERMON.

The Baltimore Sun contained very
able editorial on "The Press and the
Pulpit" in a recent issue, in which
the writer scored the modern sermon
(of course he referred to the non
Catholic preacher) and denounced the
ministers who exploit themselves in
sensational sermons against the press
disedifying to their congregations. 1t
says:
Doubtless it often does offend
against good taste and morality under
the impulse of competition and the
embarrassment of haste. But in the
matter of sensationalism these re-
proaches from the pulpit are frequent
ly much in the nature of the vilifica-
ton hurled at the kettle by the pot
Not that all or a majority of preach
ers offend in this way, but there is a
sufficient percentage who either do
so themselves or indorse the offense
in others to give the newspapers a
chance to lecture them in return. Per-
haps ministers may be surprised to
hear it, but even newspaper men who
make no particular pretense to religion
are often very much shocked by pull
pit utterances, by lack of ministerial
reverence, by coarse and familiar
methods of dealing with sacred sub
jects. We would not have to go far
afield for contemporaneous illustra-
tons of this sort of religious degener-
acy. If the Christian religion has any
claim to divine authority, how greatly
that claim must suffer in the eyes of
the intelligent doubter when it is pre-
sented with as little reverence as a
politician discusses the tariff or as a
sporting editor describes game of
baseball"

TWO SIDES.

Here is a clipping from the pen of
Reynold E. Blight, taken from the Bull
letin of the Los Angeles Consistory
(Masonic)--
"In certain circles it is popular to
bitterly denounce the Roman Catholic
Church, and in the condemnation for
get her splendid achievements and the
consecrated service she has rendered
to humanity. The long roll of patriots,
statesmen, philanthropists, thinkers,
heroes and sanity souls who have
drawn their spiritual inspiration from
her communion is sufficient proof of
the real greatness of her religious
teaching. Among her priests are those
whose names have become synony-
nous with purity of life and unselfish
effort for the betterment of humanity:
Father Damien, Father Matthew, Fa-
Their Junipero Sierra, Saint Francis of
Assist, Savonarola. Her countless in
situations of learning, her manifold
charities, the universally of her spirit
ual appeal must awaken the admira-
ton of all men. 1t must not be for
gotten that at her affairs the common
people received their first training in
democracy. Prince and pauper, peas
ant and merchant, knelt together,
equal before God. During the long
night of the dark ages the lamp of
knowledge was kept burning the
monasteries. Tolerance knows that
there are two sides to every question,
and that a picture that shows only
shadows is essentially false"

Rheumatism from coming on,
but you can stop it almost imme-

causes the pain. 1t soothes the
hot, tender, swelling feeling,
and in very short time brings a
relief that is almost unbelievable
until you experience it. Get a

A calamity bowling Republi-
can newspaper says that thous-
ands of people are wanting work
and wages. 1t is pretty sure
thing that work and wages go
together. The trouble with too
many is, they want the wages
but do not want the work. Any
able bodied man who is willing to
put the emphasis on the work
instead of the wages can always
get wages enough to keep him
out of the poor-house, but the
man who thinks everything of
the wages and nothing of the
work stands mighty poor
chance to get work or the wages.
We cannot always choose the
kind of work we are to do nor
name the wages we are to re-
ceive, but if we are willing to do
any kind of work rather than be
idle the time will come when we
can better our condition. Four

thousand men. There is an OPP
