PARIAHs CANNOT READ NOR
WRITE.

The Pariahs, poor though they are,
form the hope of the Church in India.
They respond readily to grace, and in
deed the missionary is a heavenly dis
pensation for them, raising them from
their low estate and giving them the
benefits of religion and education.
Here is the story of one settlement of
Christian Pariahs, told by their pastor,
Father Sovignet;tt
"Wallacejettai is village of Pa
riahs, founded about twenty years ago
by one of my predecessors. The foun-
dation came about in this way: A
number of poor Pariahs were being
treated SO cruelty by their wealthy
pagan employers that they appealed to
the Catholic priest of Tennoor for help
and protection.
After much parleying, it was found
that the only way of Kidding these
poor people of slavery was to settle
them on some independent ground
where they could work for their own
account and become small landowners
Unfortunately, here in India, fertile

found. However, at last fairly good
sized piece of free land was found, the
Father made an appeal to the district
collector, Mr.. Wallace, who very kind
ly granted the petition, and at once
the new village was founded with the
help of the priest, and as mark of
gratitude towards Mr.. Wallace was
called after his Wallace village,
or Wallacejettai.
A small oratory was soon erected
with mud walls and bamboo roofing.
They have also asked me to establish
school in their midst and give them
teacher, and am most anxious to
SO, if it were only to enable them to
read the prayers and catechism and
some spiritual instructions. 1t is pitt
full to think that there is not one of
them who can read or write a single
letter.. They might, perhaps, have
gone to some pagan or Protestant
school, but that they would not do.
May our Lord help me to come to
their rescue!

RESCUED FROM A RoBRER.

A missionary nun in China tells a
sad story of a girl of ten years whom
a kind Providence saved from ter
rible fate.
Recently we received at our or
phanage a poor little girl who made
an especial appeal to our sympathies+
Her parents had sold her to rob-
Der, who spent his nights plundering
and his days sleeping. The little child
was sadly neglected and finally left
her masters hut to go in search of
something to eat Unable to find her
way back, she was forced to spend the
night in the street, where a young man
found her and, noticing her pitiful con-
dition, brought her to us.

The CHURCH AND THE MIkADo.


Bishop Berlioz thinks the Catholics
have every reason to feel gratified at
the reception accorded the representa-
tives of the Church during the corona
ton of the Emperor Archbishop Pc
trelli the Papal Envoy, was invited to
lunch at the Royal palace and received
a decoration of the first class. After
this, mayors, projects and other digni-

The Archbishop of Toxic, Mgr. Rey,
asked the Bishops of Nagaski, Osaka
and Hakodate to meet the envoy of the
Holy Father with whom they had G
long conference. Thus, for the first
time in it's history the Church in
Japan has come into immediate rela
tions with the court of the Mikado.
