cHURcH-BUILDlNG FOR POOR MIS-
sIoNs INCREASES.

Building memorial churches for
poor, desolate districts instead of
erecting costly monuments over the
dear departed is the method advo-
Gated by the Catholic Church Exten-
sion Society for truly honoring the
dead. These little churches seldom
cost more than $1,000. The society
has a long list of places that are ur-
gently writing in for chapeIs and God,
Who has many loving friends num-
bered among the benefactors of the

and oftentinies the interest of the
donor sdoes not lag when the gift is
completed. Many of these benefac-
tors do not cease their interest until
the church is completely furnished
not deliberately furnished, but neatly
fitted out. The stations of the cross
cost from $40 to $12 set. They are
neat stations, and good prints. Then
the society arranges for affairs to be
donated. A fine, durable altar can
be secured for $50. Altar linens are
ever acceptable, and yestments are
always welcomed There are SO. many

one set of decent vestments. But the

FATHER MlcHoTTE's DILEMMA.

Rev. J. B. Michotte, p. F. NJ, who
has undertaken the formidable task
of building brand new leper asylum
at Kumbakonam finds himself in a
dilemma He has made an agreement
with the Government to have the
building constructed in certain way
and at a certain time. Expecting to
be able to do this he sold the old
asylum to the Sisters for hospital.
Now the resources on which he
counted are being cut off. A Belgian
himself, he received many offerings
from his friends at home, and indeed
relied on them chiefly for the upkeep
of his work. His own personal in
come, too, has been lost and he has
every reason to believe that he is
ruined in a financial way.
A leper asylum is not like school
or hospital where there is always
some revenue from fees charged. The
lepers pay nothing whatever and the
whole burden of their maintenance
falls on the mission. How Father
Michotte is going to fulfil his obliga-
tion to the Government he does not
know, but the lepers must be sheltered
and he turns to America for support.

HARD WORK IN A CHINESE
MISSION.

Since last December the Vicariate
Apostolic of East Che-Kiang has been
divided. 1t was an immense district,
and only poorly supplied with priests,
although the Lazarists in charge of it
succeeded in making many converts.
Rev. A. Henault has been placed at
the head of the new district of King
hwa-fu, which also represents a vast
territory In it there is not yet sin
gle church, and only two chapels, one
of which is nothing more than an old
Chinese dwelling of the poorest de-
scription. In the thirty or more Chris
tian centres that Father Henault
visits he has to hire house while
giving his mission, which means con-
siderable outlay of money.
There are twelve schools already
started but the problem of how to pay
the teachers is now confronting the
missionary. The silver lining to the
cloud is that about one hundred adults
are ready for baptism, having all been
converted this year

GOOD SHEPHERD NUNS IN INDIA

The work of the Good Shepherd
Sisters has grown during the past
ten years in India, and with the new
conditions that have arisen during the
past two years the nuns hope to es-

The writer is an Irish Sister who has

and finds the work fascinating be-
cause of the results. i She asks for a
chapel to replace the primitive one
they have been using.

A PROTESTANT ON MEXICO.

In "a letter to the Churchman, an or
gan of the Protestant Episcopal
Church, William Watson, who has
lived for nearly eight years in Mexico
in some of its best known centers of
population, uses vigorous language in
criticising the statements regarding
the religious condition of Mexico that
appear: in the American press. says
1.-THE Catholic News" He does not
agree with those who ascribe the pres
ent revolution to religious causes.
While the uprising is supposedly con-
Quoted for the benefit of the improper
tied class, the peon, it seems strange,
he says, that their churches suffer just
as much from robbery and outrage as
the churches of the rich.
Dealing with the question of eccles-
iastical fees, Mr.. Watson finds much
eXaggeration in recent reports. For
the places where he has lived, Puebla,
OaXaca, Guadalajara and Mexico City,
he qoutes the very low fees for bap-
tisms, marriages, ReQuiems, etc, eX-
planning that confessions and Com
munions cost nothing. Once year,

times so centavos is asked for mar

tenn for it's support, but depends upon
these methods for collecting from the
poor people, it will be seen that the
peon contributes but little to the sup
port of the Church, a fact patent to
all who visit their little shrines and
see the priests. The Roman Church
has also a practice of asking for 'Diez
mos or the Jewish tenth. But this
does not touch the pcon, who has nc
land or money. The diezmo is given
on New Years Eve. People with
money are always charged according
to their ability to pay. 1t is common

THE IRISH MISSIONARY EVERY
WHERE.

From the pen of Bishop Phelan. of
Australia, we have the following,
though we may observe that there is
abundant room for the coming Irish
missionaries in the field affair, He
writes:
NO one has travelled through. the
old world or the new, without meet
ing at every step an answer to the
question which must thrill every
heart, What country in the world is
not filled with our labors? Some
years ago on our way home, in the
first land we touched after leaving

people. This is not true either. In
Mexico City there are many fine
schools controlled by the Church and
there are not more than three or four
decent buildings built by the State
for school purposes, The Church has
schools because the public schools do
not begin to make provision for the
children. Over fifty years ago, Juarez
robbed the churches of their all in or

present warning factions are doing.
And just as the poems did not benefit
by the Juarez theft, neither will they
benefit by it now. Let us be honest

own purposes, seek to put all the
blame for the misery and strife in
Mexico upon the Catholic Church.
