MACAULEY'S VIEWS ON QUEEN
MARY.

Lord Macauley, in his essay on
"Hallam," vigorous Protestant as he
was, would have none of the six of
one and half-a-dozen of the other"
He wrote:
ct is vehemently maintained by
some writer's of the present day that
Elizabeth prosecuted neither Papists
nor Puritans as such, and occasion
ally the severe measures she adopted
were dictated, not by religious intoler-
.ance, but by political necessity.
In the first place, the argu-
ments which are urged in favor of
Elizabeth apply with much greater
force to the case of her sister Mary.
The. Catholics did not at the time of
Elizabeth's accession rise in arms to
set a Pretender on her throne. But
before Mary had given, or could give,
provocation the most distinguished
Protestants attempted to set aside
her Fights in favor of the Lady Jane.
That attempt, and the subsequent in
surrection of Wyatt, furnished at least
as good plea for the burning of
Professionals as the conspiracies
against Elizabeth furnish for the hang
ing and disemboweling of Papists."

WAS ST. PETER IN RoMEq

"The origin of Christianity in
Rome" says the New York Evening
Post of October 20, sis still an un-
solved problem. All that can be af-
firmed with certainty is that the
Epistle of st. Paul to the Romans
presupposes the existence of church
or churches in the capital.3 To be
sures there is a fourth-century tradi-
ton, perhaps derived from Hippolitus,
to the effect that Peter came to Rome
in the year az, and died in 81; and
there is another tradition, noted by
Clement of Alexandria and regarded
by Harnack as very old and well
attested,' which states that the Apos-
ties were to remain in Jerusalem for
twelve years. Though there are OBJ
vious difficulties with these traditions,
yet the arguments adduced against
them are not so compelling as to
preclude the possibility of their essen
tial genuineness. In fact, the brilliant
Leiden scholar, Professor Lake, who
happily for American scholarship has
just accepted a call to Harvard, re-

FAMINE DRIVES MEN TO
BRIGANDAGE.

If there is a mission, nowadays, that
is enjoying peace and prosperity we
have not heard from it, and certainly
Bishop Ducoeur, p f. NJ, of the
Kwang ST vicariate is not making any
claim for distinction in that way.
Humanity speaking it seems that the
tide of adversely is too strong for
the poor bishop, and he sees signs OF
shipwreck.
Kwang ST was, indeed, sorely tried
even before the war began. The inun.
1ation of last June left the district al.
most in ruins. Since that dreadful
dowhpour there has been no rain at
all, so the next affliction in sight is a
drought. The harvest seems destined
to suffer from either too much or too
little water. Already rice is selling for
ten or twelve dollars a hundred
pounds-an enormous price for this
staff of life.
The result of so much misery is
that many of the men have become
outlaws. Bands of brigands are wan
dering everywhere, robbing and
slaughtering. Not long ago several
hundred of these desperados made a
fierce attack upon a village. The
siege lasted three days; but at the
end of that time the bandits were vic
torious. They killed about fifty vii
layers during the fray, and massacred
faithful Christian who happened to
live there.

THE SACRED HEART AND THE
NEGRO CHILD.

The Sacred Heart of Jesus. writes
Shiela Mahon, is the special patron Of
the Catholic Mission Board estab-.
lished by the hierarchy for the CONVEX
sion of the colored people in America.
In many parts of the ,Unittd States,
particularly in the South, the home
land of the Negro, there are no
churches and schools and progress is
not being made just for this simple
reason. But if there are few Catholic
churches, there are many Protestant
buildings which are eager to receive
the negroes and embue in them dis
like for everything Catholic. Bap-
lists, Methodists, Congregationalists,
Shakers and all other sects are spend
ing money generously for this pur-
pose. Despite these advantages, it is
we'll known that the Negro inclines to
the Catholic Church and if there is a
Catholic school near will send his
children in preference to the latter.
Although there is much to be done
in this particular field, it must be re-
membered that much has been done.
Schools and churches have been built
and whole families converted and a
thirst for "The Truth" has been
planted. The Catholic Negro is the
pride of the Church. His spiritual
aims are high Wherever you find a
colony of Catholic Negroes, there no
crime exists in striking contrast to
the poor Negroes who have joined the
various Protestant sects. This is not
mere hearsay but proven fact.
In the office of the Board of Mis-
sions,. there is picture of Christ
among, the children. His Divine Eyes
are fixed lovingly on one little colored
child who is standing in the. group
around Him. The innocent dark eyes
of the little Negro child is smiling
back and reflects the love in the Di-
vine ones bent on him. Our Lord s
glance seems to single out this child
above all the rest. Our Lord is al
ways looking for souls and it is the
neglected ones which claims His at
tention most.
The picture always excites atten-
ton and profound sympathy for the
little colored child. That is why the
Mission Board has chosen it as it's
coat of arms. 1t wants our Catholis
people to become interested in this
divine work of charity-to help to
give spiritual comfort to the Negroes
of the South and all over the United
States. Any person wishing to help
the conversion of the Negro in
America greatest work. of the
century-call or write to Right, Rev

proof of the valor of the natives. The
Kavirondi were a warlike tribe. Origi-
nally they inhabited part Of Northern
Africa; they travelled southwards and
conquered the peoples dwelling on the
banks of the Victoria Lake and drove
them inland
The Kavirondo was an awe-inspiring
individual. OF strong physique, tall
in stature and of a fearless character,
he must have inspired with fear and
trembling those he came in contact
with. To cfvilize that kind of people,
to instill some Christian ideas into
them, meant steady and patient mis-
sionary- labor. It was a trying work
without much prospect of visible sue
cess. ,s
Seven years have elapsed. Those
seven years may be fittingly compared
with the seven years of famine in the
Old Testament. But it seems now
that the seven years of plenty have
arrived Wonderful is the change that
has come over the people! I.
There is a general and genuine de-
sire to become Christians. Scarcely a

put it tersely: 1--WE want to exchange
our spear for the Cross of Christ and
our shield for the Rosary Of Our
Lady,"
There is not only room, but also
need of five or six more mission sta.

fact; already four sites have been
chosen for new stations. One of these

look abroad, the Franciscan Mission
aries of Mary are laboring in India,
Burma, Ceylon, Japan, China, Man
churia, Mongolia, Russia, Syria and
Palestine, and in numerous places in
Africa and South America.
The Franciscan Missionaries Of
Mary are what their name implies.
They are essentially missionary, and
so far as we know they are the first
and only body of nuns who have set
themselves apart solely as foreign
missionaries. In this respect they are
unique. Said Plus TX. to Mother
Mary: Prepare constitutions espe,
cially for the missions" And as by
all kinds of good works souls can be
reached, so the franciscan Mission
aries of Mary go abroad prepared to
take up any work which may directly
or indirectly make for the salvation OF
souls. Schools, hospitals, dispensaries
workrooms, leper asylums, etc.4in all
these they are engaged.
No one is more versatile, no one
more adaptable than the franciscan
Missionary of Mary. She suits herself
to every time, cline and circumstance
and turns all to the honor and glory
of God. Her labors are numerous
and heavy, but alteration of the
Blessed Sacrament for hours daily
according to circumstances and oppor
tunity, is part of her rule, and from
adoring Jesus in the sacrament OF
His love she goes forth to her work
to her daily toll, to spread the knowl
edge of Him among the heather
Bright and cheerful, like the Sisters
of Charity of old, she is glad to suffer
something for Christ's sake-ready
too, if need be to lay down her life
as seven of her Sisters have already
done in China for Christ and His
Church.
Surely to American Catholic young
women the history of this glorious
band of missionary nuns ought to be
an inspiration and an example What
man has done, man can do, and what
woman has done and is doing, by
Gods help and grace, woman can dc
by the same help, and most of all
Catholic American women. 81
When the Catholic Church of the
United States, with its 16,OO0,00C
members, has it's 5000 women mis-
sionaries in the mission field, great
will be the hope for the Church and
great the credit of the Catholics OF
America who are now doing so much
for the spread of the faith and, the
evangelization of the heather.

st. Peter, namely, his arrival in Rome
in the summer of AZ; his departure
from the city in As, accompanied by
St. Mark, who had just written his
Gospel; his appearance in Jerusalem
in 46, and in Antioch from AZ to Sd;
his visit with Barnabas to Corinth in
81, and to Rome and Italy during 55

visit to Rome in 60, which was fol-
lowed in IS by his First Epistle and
his martyrdom. Curiously enough, it
would appear that since the encounter
of st. Peter and st. Paul in Antioch
in the year 40 the two Apostles never
met again. 1t is needless to add that
the eight lectures are well docu-
mented with footnotes and appendices,

HAS OVER 5000 LARoRERs.

--- All who are filled with zeal for the
Propagation of the Faith will read
an order which has accomplished
much in heather Landslide Institute
of the Franciscan Missionaries of
Mary:
The foundress of this institute was
Helene Marie de Chappotin de Neu-
Vile (1839-1904. She was born in
Nantes, France, and came of an an
cient and noble family, counting
among her ancestors the family of de
Gusman de Santo Domingo, which
gave st. Dominic to the Church.
Helene Marie, while still young, be-
came Reparatrice Nun, and traces
of the beautiful spirit of that Congre-
CATION can easily be found in the in
stitute which she founded later. Her
work carried her to India, a truly mis-
sionary land, with it's grand memories
of the great apostle, st. Thomas, and
the renowned st. Francis Xavier.
The missionary spirit which brought
her to India soon came upon her in all
its fullness. She saw, as in a vision,
this vast country filled with heather
and the other neighboring countries
teeming with souls to whom the mes
sage of peace and salvation had not
been preached. She saw that the Ia
borers were few, and her heart
yearned to do something in behalf of
the myriad needs that spread them
selves out before her.
The laborers must come from Eu-
rope, and with the laborers must come
the means to support them. She gazed
towards her beloved France, but her
mind was too large and too catholic
to stop there. With Gods help she
would found congregation that
would strike it's roots in every coun-
try in Europe and send out its
branches into India and every heather
land in the world. 1t was colossal
idea, yet capable of accomplishment
by the aid of Him to Whom all things
are possible.
Helene Marie, now Mother Mary of
the Passion, founded her first convent
in Ootacamund, in the Nilgiri Hills,
Southern India, about the year 1877,
and then set out for Europe to en-
deavor to give life and realization to
her newborn scheme. Plus TX.
blessed and encouraged the work, and
1885 saw the first decree of approval
by the Holy See of the institute to be
henceforth known as the Franciscan
Missionaries of Mary.
In 1896 the institute was definitely
approved, and about the same time be-
came affiliated with the Order of st.
Francis, thus partaking of all the mer-
its of the Friars Minor If we take
1877 as its beginning, this order is
scarcely forty years old. Yet it has
over 5000 laborers scattered over
every country in the globe. Add to
these workers in the vineyard the
large number already gone to their
reward and due appreciation may be
arrived at of perhaps the most
phenomenal instance of rapid growth
in religious community in this or
any other time. Nothing in modern
Church history can compare with it,
and it has all come about through the
influence of one strong woman, filled
with the spirit of God.
England, Ireland, Belgium, France,
Holland, Italy, Spain, Hungary, Malta,
Canada and the United States all have
houses Of the institute. And if we
