THE wOMAN's CLUE AND HUMANE
SOCIETY.

AT the Library parlors Friday after
noon an important meeting Of the wo-
mans Club and Humane Society was
held jointly.
In an informal discussion on the
school law of New York and that part
especially relating to New York City,
It developed that there is a strong
feeling that there should be at least
one woman on every board of educa-
ton.
After the meeting was called to or
der Mr.. c. Il. Geisel made. an excel
lent talk to the club on the Mason
County Humane Society's work. He
made three important points, humane
education" "big sister movement" and
"all societies should have a humane
side" These points are worthy Of
consideration and study by all lovers
Of the human family. He closed by
quoting DIR. Stillman. president of the
American Humane Society on "Hu-
mano Education"
II believe that the most important
single problem which confronts hu-
manitarians at the present time is the
extension of humane education. It Is
needed among all classes of society,
from the highest to the lowest. II
should find a place in the scheme of
education adopted by every common
wealth. Its principles should be pro-
pounded intelligently and authorita-
lively in every public and private
school in the land 1t should become
ingrained in our mental makeup. We
should not be educated savages, but
something a great deal better. Chill
dren need also to be taught love OF
country and the fundamentals neces-
sary for economic existence; they need
instructions in conduct, in considera-
ton for others, and in those finer
courses and arts which go to make life
and character worth while. If hui
name education were taught for ten
years, as It should be, in all schools
OF this country, it would not make
Americans less patriotic but it would
make them vastly better citizens, with
deeply ingrained respect for the rights
OF others, and thorough conviction
of the duty of justice to the helpless
and of living practical righteousness
in person conduct Let all our so.
cieties throughout this broad country
of ours, bend their energies to lay the
foundation for a national culture
while will make the righting of cruelty
on the streets and in the courts wholly
by bringing up our future
citizens so that they will possess as q
part of their inner consciousness that
kindness of spirit which should be
shown to the helpless under all condi-
tions. Then, and not until then, will
Justice and mercy rule the earth"
He was followed by Humane Officer
w. 1. Nauman and others. Mr.. Maui
mans remarks were poignant and to
the point.
Both the club and society are do
ing a good work, If they can get the
financial backing they deserve, great
things along humane lines will be done
in ~Maysville and Mason county.

THE HIDDEN LIFE.

There hath stood one in the midst
of you, whom you know not" Jesus
lived in the world; He laboured for
His daily bread, and of all those who
came in contact with Him, how many
saw only the Carpenter of Nazareth.
Jesus. the Son of God, had no desire
for the esteem of the world, which He
condemned; He sought only to please
God, and the Father looked with in
finite joy and tenderness on the all
holy soul of Jesus.
Contemplate your Saviour leading a
hidden life, content, and desiring to be
ignored, if only God might be glorified.
We are Christians-that is, imitators
of Christ-and as such should lead a
life crucified and dead to the world, in
different to its pains and pleasures,
its blame or esteem, and, as strangers
and pilgrims here below, our converse
ton should be in heaven.

MARS OR CHRIST?
BY Elisha Stafford.

He hath levied toll of your forage and
mill;
Day in, day out their red fires blaze;
Your wheels must turn at his sover-
eign will
While We toll like serfs in the choking
haze,
He hath levied toll of your iron and
brass,
The gold and the grain that ye sorely
need;
You must drive your herds from their
native grass
To glut the NAV Of the despot's
greed.
Ye have paid him toll, and more and
more
Ye must pay, and the payings never
cease
Yet We do all this for the god OF
War!
Would We do as much for the Christ
of Peace?
He hath dragged your ships through
the churning tides,
Away to the east, away to the west;
Black guns that cape from their bra.
zen sides
Proclaim to the shuddering world
their quest.
Their tall stacks belch their scorching
breath
Like angry storm wracks 'gainst the
blue;
Their crashing broadside flame with
death
And stain the waves to a crimson hue
But he asked for these and we paid
him toll,
In ships and guns We have Gained your
fears,
Though the very keels he laid he
stole
From the orphans prayers and the
widows tears.
He called, and We sent him million
men,
He called again and We gave him
more;
Ye cheered while he tore them from
field and glen,
From wan-faced wives at their cottage
door.
He hailed them through mart and busy
shop
To be MANNED and spitted and scourg
ed and fayed;
To be hurled in torrents that never
stop
To graves that his fierce blood-lust
hath made.
Ye have given the bravest and best
ye bore
To be winnowed and slaughtered with
out surcease.
Ye have done all this for the monster
War!
Would We do as much for the Chris
of Peace?

THE MISSIONS.

Father Guinard, a Marist, writes to
lis frequently from his mountain home
at Namosi in the Fiji Islands, and he
seems to have the proverbially happy,
hopeful disposition of the missioner.
Not more than fifteen years ago all
the people of the island were canni-
balls, but thanks to the work of the
missioners and government restric-
tions, they are now most kindly and
often display more than ordinary vir-
tue. But there are trials, too, and
hardships The good priests latest
letter relates some rather gruesome
incidents which we believe will inter
est our readers, and make them con-
sciously grateful that they are not liv-
ing at Namosi.

THe was sick a long time and could

die and not trouble people any longer.
He called the young men and ordered
them to dig his grave. When it was
ready he sat on the grave-side, told
the men what to do to honor him after
death, describing the feast, the repast
they were to prepare, etc. When his
orders were given, they put mats in
the grave. He went down and laid
on them. They put some other mats
over him and began filling the grave.

those who buried him. Then his voice

OLD SUPERSTITION HINDERs
REGISTRATION OF CHINESE
CHILDREN. ID.

The authorities in China, anxious to
initiate European customs, have de-
creed that all male children shall be
registered. This formality seems
simple enough, but it has raised almost
a revolt on the part of parents. The
reason is traced to an old supersti-
ton.
In China it is still belief that if a
bridge is to be solidly built the bodies
of children must be sunk along with
the piles. Therefore the logical con-
clusion of the people is that the
Mandarins want to take down the
names of the infants in order to select
victims for the bridge, and all whose
names are registered are condemned
to death, for. with the name. they take
the soul.
No amount of reasoning will con-
vince the people that a bridge can last
unless care, has been taken to sacrifice
some children to the river god; were
this not done, the piles would give
way and the bridge fall to pieces.

TIMELY SENTIMENTS FROM
"AMERlcA."

America has just published some
eloquent and timely remarks regard
ing this country and the missions
which are worth quoting. It says that
the term made in America is a popu-
lar one just at present and appeals to
our sense of patriotism. Applying it
to conditions in the mission world,
it is now our opportunity to have
apostles made in America" and also
the munitions of war used in the con
fiict against Satan in pagan lands.
IF the war" says America" SIS
forcing our captains of industry to
realize the lack of homemade prod
ucts, and of ships to carry our goods to
the ends of the earth, it should at the
same time open the eyes of American
Catholics to the need of forming

WHEN SICKNESS COMES.

The thought of death, brought so
forcibly before us, brings with equal
force the thought of sickness. Well
it would be for us, says Father John
O'Rourke, in the Messenger of the
Sacred Heart, if when sickness enters
our homes we could make sure that
it would not be unto death, not, of
course, the death of the body, for
sooner or later all must die, but the
death of the soul. Sickness in many
cases is often, and can always be, an
immense grace. How frequently in
souls that for years have been callous
to religious influences and dry as
summer dust, are there awakened
sentiments of faith, hope and love
which have slept for many day!
Again, sickness is often not unto
death, if we would have recourse to
God, and avail ourselves of Absolu-
ton and Extreme Unction. The
neglect of these sacraments at such
moments may be the death of both
body and soul, for the very peace
of mind and calmness of spirit which
result from these holy means of
grace are a great help toward a
restoration to health. st. James, too,
tells us: rs any one sick among
you? Let him bring in the priests
of the Church, and let them pray over
him, amounting him with oil in the
name of the Lord. And the prayer
of faith shall save the sick man;
and the Lord shall raise him up;
and if he be in sins, they shall be
forgiven him. Yet, how often we
find that the priest is the last one
thought of and the last one called.
He reaches the sick bed only to find
the patient unconscious or dulled and
drugged by narcotics, given often by
non Catholic doctors, who little real
ize the Importance of the sacred
duties which the priest performs, and
thus at times the salvation of soul
is imperilIed or at least the patient
is deprived of the merit of acts of
faith and resignation which ought to
be the companions at the bedside OF
every soul departing to the presence
of God.

kings and bishops, and the custom of
burial around. the outside of the
church began, and her cemeteries were
called churchyards. Later, even this
space became too small and burial
places had to be chosen at distance.
But they still belonged to the Church,
were still regarded as sacred property,
and were still called churchyards.
And like her temples, they were and
are solemnly blessed. Like the
Church, they belong to God, they are
Gods acres, the cemeteries, or sleep
ing places of His departed whom He
shall one day awaken for their eternal
reward. #fe
The Church never, therefore, recog-
nizes a separation between herself
and her children. She belongs to God,
and her children belong to God, not
for a period of time only, but forever.
She stands beside the bedside of her
dying and prepares them for death,
Her minister hears the last confession,
he administers the Viaticum, the
SdCIeu- DOuy anu DIoou VI Oui DlEIHS
Saviour, which is the souls food for
the dread journey into the valley of
death, and anoints the dying persons
body with the consecrated oils.
And therefore the Church is not
willing that as the body crumbles into
dust, it shall mix with unconsecrated
soil, but using the power her Divine
Founder has given her, she selects a
place, which she consecrates to the
service of God sanctuary of rest for
the bodies of His saints, bodies which
He has redeemed by His precious
blood, and sanctiied by the sacra-
ments of His Church.
