.MICMlC ANNIVERSARY
CHIEF OF THE TRIBE BAPTIZED
AT PORT ROYAL IN 1910.

On st. Johns Day, June "a, 1910,
at Port Royal in Acadia (now Anna
polls Royal, Nova Scotia), Member
tou, Chief of the Micmac Indians and
a great friend and protector of the
white settlers in that region, was
baptized. His people by degrees fol-
lowed his example, and today the
Micmacs are all faithful Catholics.
In honor of so great an event, consti-
tuting as it did the birth of the
Church in North America, (this be-
ing the first baptism in at least the
northern part of the continent). 1t is
proposed to erect memorial in the
church at Annapolis ROYAL. This
memorial will consist of set Of
Stations of the Cross. and tablet
setting forth the facts as above given.

THE KORAN AND OUR LADY
.MoHAMMEDAN DEVOTION TIC
THE BLESSED VIRGIN.

Touching the dignity of the Blessed
| Virgin, the doctrine of the Koran is
| in some points singularly like our
own, says the Ave Maria" Accord
| ing to the Mohammedan Bible, Mary
| is immaculate In the thirty-seventh
verse of the third chapter we read
these remarkable words: "The Angels
said to Mary: God has chosen thee;
He has rendered thee free from all
stain; He has selected thee out of
all the women of the universe. AS
natural result of this appreciation
of Our Lady, those. places in Pales-
tine and Egypt which were hallowed
| by the passage of Jesus and His
Mother are dear to the Mussulmans.
They frequently make pilgrimages to
Bethlehem, which is styled by the
Mussulman traveller, Ibn-Batoutah,
'the third place for its sanctity."
During the Crusades two Syrian
sanctuaries of the Blessed Virgin
were especially honored by the Mo-
hammedans: Our Lady of Tortoise, a
church whose foundation was attrib-
uted to st. Peter; and Our Lady of
Sardenay, near Damas. 1t is related
that sultan of Damas, afflicted with
blindness, went as pilgrim to this
latter shrine, strong in the faith that
he should there recover his sight.
| Confiding in the goodness of God, he
prostrated himself and prayed. On
arising, says NJ Rey in his work on
the French colonies in Syria, he saw
the lamp burning before the statue of
Our Lady, and glorified God. More
over, he promised an annual gift of
fifty measures of oil with which to
keep the light burning in this church
Ia promise faithfully fulfilled until
the time of Nour-edDin. Other
miracles, according to the same
author, were wrought at Sardenay in
favor of Mussulmans; they are pre-
served in local traditions.
In our own day we have seen a
sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes
established in Constantinople, where
it is the center of most feryent pray
ers of Mussulmans, as well as of
wondrous cures in favor of these in
fidels, so devoted to the Immaculate
Virgin-admirabl prelude to graces
still more admirable, that in Gods
good time will doubtless touch the
hearts and illumine the intelligence
i of these simple unbelievers. Yes,
Mary, whom Mohammed proclaimed
Immaculate and ever-virgin, may yet
be the subiugator of these peoples,
bowed under religious law SO
tolerant of RIGHTEOUSNESS.
For this reason it is gratifying to
remember that at Matariyeh, in
Egypt, there has been established a
sanctuary of Notre Dame de Lourdes
The place for the shrine was most
happily chosen; it was for some time
the scene of the Holy Family's exile.
1t was there that, in response to the
prayer of Mary, fountain gushed
forth from source long dried up
Near this fountain the new grotto was
constructed by Father Julien, s. j..
President of the Holy Family College
at Cairo. Let us hope that scene
which witnessed a miracle wrought in
favor of our Blessed Mother while
she was on earth, may yet become re
lnowned for favors granted from heI
throne in heaven.

INTERESTING CHURCH HISTORY
ST. JosEPH's CHURCH, FORT
MADISON, Ia, WILL cELE-
8RATE ITS sEvENTY-FIFTH
ANNIVERSARY SOON.

Rev. A. J. Zaiser of st. Joseph's
Church, Fort Madison, Ia, recently
returned from trip to st. Louis,
made in a personal search for the
last resting place and other data
concerning Rev. A. ] Allemann, the
first resident priest of Fort Madison
and an important figure in the early
church history of the state. The
grave was found at Calvary ceme-
terry, st. Louis, marked by an impos-
ing tombstone, the inscription on
which says that the priest died July
IA, 1865.
Information gained on the trip by
Father Zaiser completes the church
history of Fort Madison, which will
be used in connection with the cele-
bration this fall of the seyenty-1fth
anniversary of its establishment. The
first church, log structure built in
Father Allemann's passionate, will be
reproduced in exact size and as near
to its old site as possible before the
anniversary.
One of the features of the anniVer-
sary will be the mounting of the old
bell, which used to swing from the
rude cupola of Father Allemann's
church. The bell has a history al
most as lengthy as the church. It's
origin is a matter of dispute. It was
first known to have been used at the
Mormon temple at Nauvoo, Ill, few
miles below Fort Madison. Next it
was used on the log church i'm that
city. When the little structure or
frontier day worship gave way to. a
larger building, the bep went to Q

The Most Vital Mission Problem Of
the Day: BY Rev. F. Schwager, s.
v. D., translated by Rev. Agatha
Rolph, o. M. Cap. Published by
the Mission Press, s. v. D., Techny,
Ill. Price so cents.
This translation Of Father Schwa-
gers work is timely, owing to the fact
that the European war has made it
necessary for the Catholics of this
country to take more and more inter
est in the work of. the foreign mis-
sions and make up the financial loss
to which they have been subjected by
the cutting off Of aid from European
countries. The author cites figures to
show that the Protestant missions re-
ceiVe much greater financial support
in the carrying on of their work than
do the Catholic missions and that
Christianity in the East is very largely
Protestant Christianity. 1t Is for
the purpose of arousing Catholics to
a realization of their duty In this
regard that this appeal is made to the
Church in America to come to the aid
Of the foreign missions.
