RENEDlcTlNE BISHOP HAS
SUCCESS IN THE SOUTH.

Some of the missionary work in the
South is carried on by the Benedic-
tines. Bishop Leo Haid, of Belmont
Abbey, North Carolina, has a good re-
port to make for the past year. He
says:
God again blessed our poor labors.
The number of converts was consid-
cradle; we have also supplied our own
people with priests and sisters and
gathered most of our children, be-
sides many Protestants, into our Cath
olic schools. Two orphan asylums,
two hospitals and one sanatorium for
tuberculosis patients are a safe refuge
for the sick and destitute. During the
last year ordained two excellent
young secular priests and completed
three very neat churches. For all we
are very thankful to. God and the
friends who. SO generously assist us.
May God bounteously reward ALI"

coLoREp MISSION REQUESTS.

Rt. Rev. John E. Burke, Director
General of the Catholic Beard for
Mission Work among the Colored Peo-
pie, announces in the official publica-
ton of the Board, 'Our Colored Mis-
sions," that bequest from the O'Con-
nor estate enables him to pay the
salaries of all the teachers in the
schools supported by the Board up to
September first. The deceased, Mr..
O'Connor, from the foundation of st.
Benedict the Moor's parish in New
York City was always constant and
generous helper of this church for
Colored Catholics. That his aid might
continue even after his departure,
Mr.. O'Connor remembered Monsignor
Burke and the Colored missions in his
will. The sum bequeathed to the work
comes OPPORTUNITY since it offers the
Director General the necessary
amount to bring his accounts to date
with the teaching sisterhoods of the
South.
In connection with the bequest to
the Colored missions, sMOnsignor
Burke reports in the September num-
Der of his publication that over two
thousand dollars were received since

MUST KNOW CATHOLIC HISTORY,

There is nothing like, knowledge for
removing prejudice and hazy concep-
tions. DR.. Herbert E. Bolton, profess
sor of American History at the Uni
versity of California, furnished an il
lustration of this truth, recently, in
an address to the students at Newman
Hall. Speaking of the work of the
Catholic pioneers in the southwest,
DIR. Bolton insisted that students of
History, and particularly of the his
tory of California, should have a
knowledge of the history and doc
trines of the Catholic Church. Other
wise they could not understand much
of the spirit that animated the early
missionaries and colonizers.
The Doctor spoke of his own ev-
periences, in a small town in the Mid
die West, where he had no contact
with Catholics and small chance to
learn about their church. But the
study of history taught him to respect
and reverence the Catholic Church.
1t would be we'll if more advice of this
nature were given in centers of higher
education.

able that the study of the Catholic
Church receives as much attention as
in the University of California"

GIVES A RETREAT FOR
ITS cATEcHIsTs.


A few months ago, the Lazarist Fa-
theirs at the Wench6w mission gave a
retreat for catechists. There were
present no less than one hundred and
eight earnest Cinnamon, who gladly
give their time for almost no payment
to the services of the Church.
F During the retreat several of the
catechists spoke with a strength and
even science that many a priest might
envy. Having once been pagan them

and what arguments and reasoning is
most likely to reach it. Each cate
chist possesses a copy of the New
Testament and many of them can re-

SUNRISE IN AFRICA.

Daily, after sunrise, writes Sister
Feliciana, the Missionary Sister leaves
the Mission station to visit the numer-
Gus schools erected in the wilderness;
today one centrally located, tomorrow
the one across the mountains, the
next day another one beyond the
primeval forest, and SO on until she
has made the rounds, when she be-
gins anew. The poor heather chill
dren from all directions are assembled
in the schools to be instructed in the
knowledge and fear of God 1t is a
beautiful work that has fallen to the
lot of the Sister, and with the grace
of God, much good can be accom-
plished among the negro children.
She thanks God daily for this, and
although she scarcely has time for
breakfast, she sets out upon her jour
ney eagerly and joyfully.
The catechist in charge of the
school begins the daily prayers and
Catechism class at sunrise AS soon
as the children catch sight of the
Sister, they joyfully cry: Praise be
to Jesus Christ" The dear little ones
are in the front row; one after one
approaches her and peeps into her
pocket, in the hope of finding some
thing. Please give me a penny--a
medal-a little CLOTH" and so on. A
little farther away are the older ones,
as orderly as a regiment of soldiers;
stern and conscientious teacher is
standing in front of this division.
Most of them know nearly the entire
Catechism by heart. However, de-
spite this fact, there are but few
among them who may be admitted to
Baptism, because it is necessary that
the missionaries be very careful in
this respect. After an instruction of
two hours, the pupils sing several
hymns, and few minutes later their
merry laughter is heard as they dis
perse and finally disappear in the viii
derness, to return the following day.

A PROTESTANT TRIBUTE.

1 think the most tragically beauti-
full thing in all the Bible is that one
short sentence in the story of the
crucifixion: There stood by the
cross of Jesus His mother" There
is nothing in all the Bible that goes
to my heart like that. The multitudes
whom He had taught and fed and
healed and helped were not there. The
treacherous disciple had betrayed
Him, the boastful disciple had denied
Him, they all had forsaken Him and
fed; but there stood by the cross OF
Jesus His mother" What pitiless
storm beat about that poor lone wom-
an! What thoughts crowded in upon
her poor tired brain? 1t seemed but
Yesterday that she had held Him in
her arms and kissed His baby lips;
but yesterday that they two had
walked hand in hand through the
wood and wild flowers, her heart full
of mother pride at His quick intelli-
gence and His winsome ways. And
now He was dying-dying before her
ewes but beyond her reach like vile
and cruel criminal; the rulers of her
nation and leaders of her religion,
looking out in scornful hatred, and
the rabble shouting insults. And she,
standing there alone, in all the world
the one who still believed in Him.
For was He not hers? Had she not
borne Him? Had she not loved Him
and called Him "Son?" and had He
not loved and called her 'Mother?"
Yet, come what will, He was still
hers, and she will be with Him to the

writes: &.
cat a time when the Catholic week
lies are announcing the receipt of
legacies mounting into thousands for
charitable and religious works, it
would be we'll for the Catholics of
the country to remember that the
great missionary project of the age is
the conversion of the ten million
Negroes of the United States. When

be advisable for the Catholics to make
