HOPE OF THE FUTURE.

In the opinion of Father Gerard,
S. j., the hope of the apostle in China
lies in the small villages, remote from
the stir of commerce. Here he. sees
the future of his religion growing
brighter every day
The missionary may be said to re-
semble the bee. The faith which he
places in souls is like the honey which
the bee stores in tiny cells Many of
these taken together form the luscious
comb.
Religion in China follows the same
method of progress. Stored first in a
few simple hearts in obscure localities
it is gradually forming structure that
may finally absorb a large portion of
the Empire. With time and the grace
of God this great end may be achieved.
Meanwhile all honor to the little vii
lagos which are first to treasure the
sweetness of the Gospel.

"MADAME AFRICA"

Sister Raphael, a religious of the
Congregation of Our Lady of Africa,
relates a touching story in one of her
letters:
Two nuns, going one day to visit a
sick woman in country district, were
met by a negress who conducted them
into her house to rest. The first object
that met their gaze was an image of
Our Lady of Africa hanging on the
wall.
How is this exclaimed the Sisters,
you already know our Lady of
African
Yes, surely / do"
Where did you become acquainted
with her?'
IN Algiers o, Madame Africa is
my mother often say to her, You
are black like myself, but you are
beautiful andI love you very much 7
How did you come to love her so
much?' inquired the Sisters.
Il will tell You. When l was in
lservice in Algiers / had a sore arm for
two years. 1t was getting so bad that
| feared | could no longer earn my
living. | went to an Arab doctor who
Ionly made it worse Then one day ]
said to myself, There are some people
here who go to see Madame Africa.
/ will also pay her a visit, perhaps she
will cure me-
Il went to the church and prayed
and my arm became better See, can
work with it as if had never been
sick. In thanksgiving bought a wax
arm and some candles for her shrine
and I wish to keep the image of Our
Lady of Africa always with me.
Such was the tale of this simple ne
gress. The Blessed Virgin is repre-
Isented in Africa with a black face in
order that the negroes may feel close
lbond Of love and sympathy with her
Thus the woman who received this
|cure Imagined the sweet mother Of
lGod as one Of her own race.

TWELVE MEXICAN STUDENTS OR
! DAMNED TO THE PRIESTHOOD.


With the outbreak of the Mexican
Revolution, and the persecution of the
priests and religious, it was plain to
be seen that some provision must be
made for the young men who were
studying for the priesthood in Mexico;
and since it was impossible for them
to continue their studies in their own
country, under existing conditions, it
was necessary that some location
should be decided upon as quickly as
possible in another part of the country,
inasmuch as a number of the exiled
priests had already gone to Spain and
France and South America for safety.
The fear Of the Mexican Bishops that
all theiI priests and seminaries would
do likewise, prompted the Catholic
Church Extension Society to open a
Seminary in the United States.
The Sisters of Divine Providence,
who conduct an Academy in San An
tonic, were very generous in Offering

roville for this purpose; and to this
harbor the young seminarians were
led. A committee representing the
society was appointed to purchase the
necessary furniture for the Seminary;
and, to start the ball rolling, the Cath
Ollie Church Extension Society pledged
itself to support the Seminary.
Just a few days ago, we received
the glad news that twelve of these
students had been ordained to the
priesthood, and were ready to start
work in Mexico just as soon as condi-
tions there permitted them to return.
We feel certain that those who have
already contributed to this Seminary
Fund will be gratified to learn of the
ordination of these young men; and
there are many more, we are quite
sure, who would be glad to send a
mite" to help keep up the Seminary,
which is sending young men out into
the mission field to preach the Gospel
to those unfortunate people who
would otherwise be denied this bless
ing.
In this month of May, the month
especially dedicated to Our Blessed
Mother, will you not send an offering
in her honor for the up-keep of this
Seminary? Kindly send your offering
to The Catholic Church Extension So
ciety, Mccormick Building, Chicago

ceived and placed to the credit of the

cHuRcH,s BELIEF SUPPORTED
BY COMMON SENSE.

Almost everybody believes there
is a heaven, but there is a diversity
Of thought as to when the saved shall
reach there" says Rev. II. Page Dyer
(Epis) of philadelphia. "Of course,
it is evident that the bodies OF all
the saved win be reunited to their
souls at the time of the resurrection,
for not until then will they have
risen from their graves. But what
about the entrance of the souls into
heaven? The Protestant belief is that
every soul that does not go to hell
goes to heaven at the moment OF
death. One difficulty about this is
that it takes no account OF the quality
or character of a mans mode Of life.
A man whose life has been so low
and bestial that he barely escapes
damnation, according to this theory
goes as surely and quickly to heaven
as a man who has lived careful,
holy and beautiful life.
THE ancient belief of Gods Church
is one of holy common sense. Few
souls are so pure that they are III
for heaven, where nothing that Is
defiled may enter. And yet there are
many millions of people who are toe
good to go to hell. This vast body
of immortal beings will at death &c
neither to heaven nor to hell, but to
an intermediate state, a sort OF
11octihule of heaven an ante chamber
where their stains will be removed
and where a divine process of purga
ton is mercifully provided by Al
mighty God"

A NEW PLACE TO ASSIST.

The nuns of Borneo do not often
send us news of their condition or
make an appeal for help. They
might well do so, judging from a let
ter received from Mother Helen, SUI
perior of ST. Teresa's Convent. The
foundation is no new one, as the
Sisters have been thirty years in the
mission, but the conditions were
particularly hard, and poverty always
with them.
N well remember" says Mother
Helen, 1.-The arrival of the five pioneer
Sisters in this vast wild island in
1885, and | have watched with the
keenest interest the progress which
these self-sacrificing women have
made amid hardships, trials and dis
appointments of various kinds.
up to the present time the wolf
has been kept at bay. But now he
is making rapid advances and the
Sisters are sorely troubled for their
children and their establishment. The
European war leaves them with a
shortage in the usual funds, an in
crease of children and widows to care
for, and the poorest of accommoda-
tions for these.

where all the children sleep. When

yourself, good reader, in the same
plight. How would you like after a
hard days work to be up all night
trying to mend leaking roof which
is long since beyond repair. Our poor
little Sister longs to rest her tired
head on the pillow, but the children
must be cared for first.
"Our little ones are for the most
part the children of Chinese heather

among them under a year old. We

cation, including a thorough training

APPEAL FOR THE STARVING PEG
PIE OF THE WEST INDIES.


Bishop Vuylsteke, o. p, makes a
second appeal for the mission at
Aruba, West Indies. Five years of
almost constant drought have brought
the people to a dreadful physical con-
dition. Obliged to drink brackish
water and eat unwholesome food they
have become victims of typhoid fever,
scurvy and other maladies.. Nine
thousand people, are sick, and there
is no proper hospital to receive them.
The bishop would like to secure three
Sisters and open hospital where the
worst sufferers could be fed and
treated. And donations to this end
will be gratefully received at this of
flee.

This shows how great a support the
native missionary may be in time of
need. There are one hundred and
twenty-five students in the Seminary,
many of whom | may safely predict
will enter the priesthood.
"As for the nuns, of our two hundred
and seventX-one Sisters only forty
are European. Therefore, we rejoice
that none of the vital works of the
mission are in danger, and that our
Christians who enjoy comparative
calm can benefit by the fruits of the
Gospel"

You know, and every physician
knows, that when any sickness has
passed, whether it be throat trouble,
organic disturbances, contagious dis:
eases, or even severe cold, a relapse
is feared, because sickness robs the
system Of Natures resistance and
leaves it subject to lingering germs.
Drugs never build up wom-out
body-only food can do that, and the
first thing to take after any sickness is
the concentrated, blood-makhg oil
food in SCOTS Emulsion, which feeds
the tissues, benefits the blood and
strengthens both lungs and throat.
Physicians prescribe SCOTS Emul-
sion aftersickness. Nurseseveywhere
advocate it. SCOTS is pure medicinal
food without alcohol or drugs.

an urgent plea for such action on the
part of State Chairman Lee.
Many Of the committee members
prior to the opening Of the meeting
yesterday afternoon indicated that
they still favored a county ticket but
when 1t was made plain to them that
q county ticket was not required to
maintain the party organization the
opposition to the plan increased.

committeeman who favored q ticket
were: e. A. Renks. Richmond, Orange

Thirty-two of the sixty-four COM
mittee members attended the meeting
yesterday but seven withdrew before
the vote was taken on the county

election to the central committee.
Others will be drafted by the chair
man In time to have their names certi-

No decision as to the method Of select

Asks for Candidates.
One OF the amusing incidents of the
meeting was the action of Chairman
Price. following a fervent plea for a
county ticket, il any one present knew
OF candidate for a place on a Pro-
gresslve county ticket. He received
no information.
AL Ford of Richmond put a motion,
shortly after the opening Of the meet
ing, that the committee should decide
whether county ticket was to be
nominated. After much discussion
this motion carried unanimously
Then c. c. Smith of Clay township
moved that no ticket be nominated
This carried. 20 to 5. Prior to the
vote every one of the committeeman
was polled by Chairman Price on this
question and they frankly expressed
their views. Three members, Al Ford
