THE PAPAL OFFICE.

The Southern Cross thus quotes a
none Catholic writer on the Papal Of
flee:
"To be the infalllble spiritual guide
of multitude of people-perhaps a
sixth of the population of the world;
to derive from the Chief of Apostles,
through 255 Intermediates, a primacy
or honor and authority among Chris
tian folk; to be seated in this inef-
fable honor in the city of Rome, i'm
perial and eternal; to operate gov
erning machinery of patriarchs, met
ropolitans, archbishops, bishops,
priests, and innumerable orders of
monks, friars and nuns-a machinery
which in delicacy and efficiency is the
wonder of the world; to have interests
and duties in connection with every
nation in both hemispheres; to watch
all things political and ecclesiastical,
on behalf of an organization which
has it's tendrils in every Granny and
crevice of the social structure of all
Europe and America and many parts
of Asia and Africa-what position has
earth to show which can compare
with this for eminence of standpoint,
breadth of view, and reach of power?"

FATHER BERNARD SECURES SIS.
TIERS FOR oRPHANAGE.

The benefactors and friends of
Father Joseph Bernard, S. j., will be
glad to hear that the orphanage in the
Far North, which necessity compelled
him to start, is to secure the Ladies
Missionaries from Washington to care
for the children.
1t is a great sacrifice for that new
community to deprive itself of two
good MEMBERSHIP number selected
for the Alaskan mission-but the com.
munity is sustained by spirit of sac.
rifice. 1t believes that the more it
gives the more it receives, and the
superior and founder of the Ladies
Missionaries says that he considers
it great honor for the convent to an
swer the call for workers in such a
field of labor, for it is certainly for the
honor and glory of God.
The work of Rev. Joseph Bernard
has long been helped and encouraged
through the benefactors and friends
of the Catholic Church Extension So
ciety, who seem ever ready to befriend
the missionary working in those eter-
nal fields of snow and ice.
The sisters are to start for the far
Northern mission as soon as the sea-
son will allow.
For a long time Father Bernard has
applied for helpers, and it seems has
applied to many places in vain. Final.
ly he started the school with an old
Eskimo woman as the matron until the
Sisters could be secured.
1T is pretty close quarters" Father
Bernard wrote to the Catholic Church
Extension Society, "but then that
makes it warmer for them"
The Society has sent Father Ber-
nard help again and again, and would
gladly send him vasts sums if it had
them at its command. Any donations
forwarded to the Offices of the Catholic
Church Extension Society, Mccormick
Building, Chicago, will be gladly for
warded to him.

Mgr. Combes, primate of Africa,
celebrated the sixtieth anniversary of

A NORTHWESTERN BISHOP.

Where the fiourishing cities of the
Northwest now hold their tens of
thousands of people once stood Indian
villages and the mission chapels of
the Black Robe. Every inch of terri
tory in that part of Canada, that is
now perhaps the most prosperous of
the Dominion, has been evangelical
by the splendid Oblates. They have
had men whose names are bound up
with the history of the country. For
instance, Bishop Grandin, whose mis-
sionary tours are filed with romance
of the most touching kind. was one
of the pioneers, whose example is be-
ing followed by his brethren in the
yet unsettled lands to the north.

THE MADuRA MISSION.

The Madura mission is confided to
the sons of st. Ignatius. Mgr. A. Fais-
andier, Bishop of Trichinopoly, sends
us an elaborate report of the general
work accomplished during the year
ending July 1, 1914. He adds in a
letter that we can form an idea of
the immensely of the task undertaken
by. the missionaries when we know
that there are 255,O00 Christians to
care for, and 100000 pagans to win
to the true religion. Several COM
mmities of nuns assist the priests in
the eyangelization of the women and
the children.
AS now constituted, the Madura mis-
sion includes three districts and is

various schools and colleges. Four
orphan asylums receive homeless
children. Six workshops and indus
trial schools teach useful trades. Hos
pitfalls and asylums perform their
share of good work. In short the
Madura mission is vast enterprise
needing plenty of resources and plenty
of workers. 1t has been very sue
cessfuI during the past few years, but
like all the missions, it is now threat
ened by the general disaster. One
way of caring for some of the orphans
during the hard times would be to
place them in good families willing
to care for or adopt the little I'M
fortunates. Bishop Faisandier is SER
iously thinking of this plan for his
orphans, but does not know how to
sustain the other establishments.
