donation of 100000 to cover the yearly
salary of one teacher. The parishion-
ers are very poor, but, nevertheless,
they will try to collect among them
selves sufficient to pay the other
teacher.
For your information, we quote be-
low portion of Father Van Bokhov.
ems letter, which reads as follows:
Our politicians are talking about
preparedness. talk about it also,
but not about preparedness for war,
but preparedness for our next school
year. There should be a Catholic
school about eight miles from here.
Two Sisters would be sufficient for
that country school. Each Sister,
though, is entitled to a salary of 5000
year and the people down here are
poor and cannot afford to pay for two.
They will try their best to collect
5000 for one teacher Could the Elk
tension Society help us secure the
salary for the other teacher?"
Missionaries are very grateful peo-
pie, and you may be sure that no mat.
ter how small your mite may be, you
will be remembered in the prayers of
the pious missionary as we'll as in the
prayers of his devoted little flock.
Any donation sent to the Catholic
Church Extension Society, $50 McCor.

For Western Mission.
From the state of Montana there
comes to the Catholic Church Extern
sion Society, letter from mission
airy for whom we have made several
appeals in the past, which resulted in
supplying him with various articles for
his many missions. We hope this ap.
peal will meet with the same success
Owing to the fact that Father Tri
CORY has a number of missions to
attend, it is necessary for him to carry
from one place to another the articles
which he needs for the celebration Of
the Mass. A missionary is not always
the happy possessor of valise or suit
case large enough to hold all the arti
Giles, and then he must be content to
carry not only a very large, but very
heavy and awkward bundle from one
place to another. 1t is the wish of
every missionary that he had the
money with which to buy a Missionary
Mass Outfit. All the articles, includ.
ing chalice and vestments for the Holy
Sacrifice of the Mass are neatly
packed in a fiber or leather covered
suitcase. Missionaries who have been
fortunate enough to secure one of
these Mass outfits have been very
grateful in their expressions of appre.

ness of the outfits.
These Travelling Chapels," as one
missionary very aptly referred to
them, cost from $4,000 to $4,000.
In one of the chapels that Father
Trigory attends, a rough platform has
been used as an altar for the past two
years. A gift of $4,000 would be the
means of making this ugly platform
disappear, and in it's place erect a
neat white altar with gilt trimmings.
Vestments are needed, too, and they
cost from $1,000 to $500 a set. A
pair Of candlesticks and set of cruets
would be welcome gifts. They cost
$500 and $1.OO respectively.
The Catholic Church Extension So.
ciety, $50 Mccormick Bldg, Chicago,
Illinois, would welcome your donation
for one or the other article needed by
Father Trigory, and will take pleasure
in seeing that the articles reach their
destination as promptly as possible.
