HOSPITALS BRING MANY TO THE
FAITH.

Hospitals are very effective means
of bringing souls into the Church. The
natives of pagan countries are afflict-
ed with all sorts of diseases brought
on by starvation, poor sanitation and
lack of medical knowledge. The nuns
who ease the sufferings of these poor
creatures cannot fail to touch their
hearts also, and did their means allow
they would bring countless numbers
OF recruits to the Faith each year.3f
At Wen-chow, China, the Sisters
have hospital for men, one wing of
which is unused, because of the lack
of money to furnish it. The women's
hospital has fifty-eight beds. To fur
nish one bed costs six dollars. To FUR
nish bed in perpetuity a capital of
$3.50 is required. About 5000 women
apply for medical attention during the
year. Two-thirds Of these are treated
in the dispensarg, though the major
ity would require special treatment.
In two years the Sisters gave medical
attention to 1878 persons and visit
ed S,793 homes. With sixty cents a
Sister can care for person for week.
With $40, the offering for a perpetual
membership, a Sister can provides a
bed and nourishment for a patient for
a year.

THE GENEROSITY OF A NON
CATHOLIC. ~

Far to the eastward of the United
States, about 5000 miles, lies group
of islands which not many years ago
became our own. Because of the fact
that these islands now belong to us,
it is the duty of every Catholic Ameri-
can to see that the Philippine Islands
are taken care of as we'll as possible.
The appeals which come to the Cath.
olic Church Extension Society from
priests on the missions in this part
of the world are pitiful indeed, and
many are the sad tales of hardships
endured by these noble soldiers of the
Church. Each letter is about the
same, full of the same self-sacrificing
zeal for the loved ones of Christ-the
little children.
The following letter is but an ex-
ample of what the Protestant mission
aries are doing among our CATHOLIC
people of the islands and what sacri-
fees the Catholic missionaries have to
make in order to preserve the Faith
in their parishioners:
Two months ago | wrote to YOU
about an American lady who is trying
to make the people of the Antomoc
Mine at some kilometers from here
Protestants and how l began there a
school. She told me she is Scientist
Missionary from Chicago, an apostate
Catholic. She works diligently to di.
vulgate her errors. She is doing all
she can to force the pupils of my
school to go to hers. She has now a
new building and good teacher, but
no children yet, and announces Sunday
services there and in Baguio. The
people tell me that if | can continue
my school they will not send their
children to her. .Myaschool is nothing
more than a room in small bamboo
house. / received from non Catholic
$500 to make three desks and to pay
my teacher for one month"
If non-CathoIic will give SIS to-
ward the maintenance of Catholic
school how much more should Cath
olics give for the upkeep of their own
schools?
Father Carlu further states: 81 will
have to fight know, but a fight fo1
Jesus and the souls is an agreeable
one. | ask Him to send me new help
in the fight"
Will you not be one to help this mis-
sionary to a retaliation of his hopes!
Your donation will be gratefully re
ceiyed by the Catholic Church Exten
sion Society, Mccormick Building
Chicago, and promptly forwarded to
Father Carlu

WHAT THE FIJI ISLANDS ARE
DOINd.

We recently announced that the
work of the Propagation of the Faith
had been established in Fiji, and a
few particulars regarding these is
lands may be timely. They are an
English colony and have about 1000
English residents. The remainder of
the population is made up of $4,000
Fijians and $4,000 Hindus.
The missionary work is entrusted to
the Marists, who are now reaping a
harvest in a field that was sown in
blood. The Catholics number $4,000,
cared for in twenty-eight posts Six
ty Sisters of the Third Order of Mary
do invaluable work among the wom-
en-. They are helped by fifty native
Sisters.
Vacations for the priesthood have
been developed, and four young I'll
jams are now preparing for the altar.

SIR THOMAS MORE.

Sir Thomas More's nobility of char
acter has excited the praise of more
than one non-Catholic writer. Sir
James Macintosh, the well-knoWn
British essayist, is among these. Al
though he misunderstands some of
More's ideas, particularly his views on
celibacy, he cannot restrain his admir-
alton for the whole life of the chancel
lor and his courageous stand for the
right. In speaking of More's charac-
ter he says:
"Of all men nearly perfect, Sir
Thomas More had, perhaps the clear
est marks of individual character. His
peculiarities, though distinguishing him
from all others, were yet withheld from
growing into moral faults. 1t is not
enough to say of him that he was un-
affected, that he was natural, that he
was simple; so the larger part of truly
great men have been. But there is
something homespun in More which is
common to him with scarcely any other
and which gives to all his faculties and
QUALITIES Iu6 appearance VI bSlAS ChC
native growth of the soil. The home
Illness of his pleasantly purities it from
show. He walks on the scaffold clad
only in his household goodness. The
unrefned benignity with which he
ruled his patriarchal dwelling at Chel-
sea enabled him to look on the axe
without his being disturbed by feeling
hatred for the tyrant. This quality
bound together his genius and learn
ing, his eloquence and fame, with his
homely and daily misunderstanding a
genuineness on all his good qualities,
a dignity on the most ordinary Offices
of life, and an accessible familiarity on
the virtues of hero and a martyr,
which silences every suspicion that
his eXCellencies were magnified. He
thus simply performed great acts, and
uttered great thoughts, because they
were familiar to his great soul. The

Eas*zg2zAA MISSION z E!E%Rs:A
A GIFT TO THE SACRED HEART.

From a Capuchin Father in a state
that is noted for it's terrific wind
storms as we'll as prairie fires the
Catholic Church Extension Society has
Ereceived letter in which he states
that his little mission church called
st. Anthony at st. Theresa was totally
destroyed recently by a prairie fire
which also damaged the property of
the eight poor families of his parish.
He has sent the Extension Society a
picture of the ruins OF this little
church. All that can be seen above
the ground is few feet of stone. The
tower bell was saved-but what are
these poor people to do without a
church? Unless another one is built
to replace the one which was blown
down, many of the people of this small
congregation will probably never see
the inside of church again, and many
of them will, no doubt, die without
receiving the last sacraments-and all
this because they have no money to
rebuild their little chapel, and because
the others are too far distant to at
tend There are many who could give
the necessary amount of $4,000 for
this purpose. There is no better way
to please Almighty God than to erect
churches to His honor and glory. This
chapel could be given in honor of the
Sacred Heart in memory of some de-
ceased relative or friend The Catho-
lie Church Extension Society, McCor-
mick Building, Chicago, would be glad
to receive your donation for this pur-
pose, whether it be large or small.

THE ARCHITECT OF CIVILIZATION.

Occasionally fair-minded Professionals
are willing to give to the Church her
due. Such case was evidenced re-
Gently when the Rev. DR.. N. M. Waters,
a Congregational minister of Brooklyn,
N. Y, paid high tribute to the in
dustry and acumen of the monk. In
the course of his remarks he said:
Out of the monasteries came the
printing press; out of the monasteries
came the universities; out of the mon
asteries came the libraries; out of the
monasteries came the prayer book, the
Litany, the TIE Deum.' 1t was in the
monasteries that the New Testament
was written; it was in a monastery
that the Bible was first translated into
English.
THE monk, under God, was the
great architect of civilization"

THE CHURCH IN THE PHILIP
PINES.

Probably nowhere else in the world
has the present war been such a draw
back as in the Philippine Islands. Be-
fore the outbreak of this ravaging
struggle, these missionaries received
many gifts from their friends and rel
, atives in Belgium, with which to carry
on their noble work, but Belgium itself
is now looking for aid from other coun-
tries. The following letter of the needs
of Philippine missionary reveals the
situation:
Il am the parish priest OF Numancia.
Numancia has five Catholic and five
Aglypian visitas. The six churches of
my parish are all built in the mission
style; they are poor and miserable.
A short story may illustrate this. Two
years ago, one of the churches was
destroyed by fire, with all it's contents,
the little image of the Patron Saint
only being saved After three days,
notwithstanding the laziness of the
natives, the church was put up again
and without cost was as rich as before.
For the church, except for the wooden
and grass, without floor, benches, con-
fessionals, pulpit, without vestments,
even without candlesticks. And now
the church is still in the same condi-
ton as before the fire.
"A large vista of about three hun
dred families had it's church destroyed
by typhoon; it was good one from
Spanish days. Now it is the very type
( of desolation. The wooden pillars are
still in good condition; the timbers of
the roof are rotten, therefore the grass
roof is such that in rainy days | can
not say Mass and in windy weather it
is as impossible, for there are no walls
to the church. The people of my par
1sh are very poor and cannot be ex-
/ pected to do all the work gratis and
provide for the necessary funds. And
j, being a Belgian priest, cannot raise
money in my own country. Just before
the war | received help from friends
and relatives, but my last letters were
returned; and have just learned that
my eldest brother was shot, and much
property has been lost. Therefore |
waited and prayed God to come to my
rescue. / know that more than a
thousand churches have been erected
with the aid of the Church Extension
Society. May the good God inspire
many more Catholic Americans to
have churches built through the Cath
Ollie Church Extension Society, so that
all us poor priests may be helped for
His glory and the well-being of His
Children!"
This appeal is highly endorsed by
the Right Reverend Bishop of the dio.
cese, who says that he has always
regarded Father Van de Polls parish
as the second or third poorest "in this
diocese of poor parishes He further
states that Father Van de Pol lives
in dire poverty on an island away in
the Pacific and it is a difficult and
dangerous journey of six hours from
what they call the Mainland" of
Mindanao.
BY the building of little church
this good missionary is striving to fan
the flame of Faith in his little congre-
cation. Will you not help him towards
a realization Of his hopes?
Any donation sent to the Catholic
Church Extension Society, Mccormick
Building, Chicago, will be promptly
acknowledged and forwarded to Faith,
er Van de Pol for his mission chapel
il the Philippines.

WHERE vEsTMENTs FOR MASS
ARE NOTHING BUT RAGS.

Most people little realize what good
they could do for the missions. BY
helping just a little, they help them
selves, and at the same time help some
one less fortunate than themselves.
Many indeed are the requests the
Catholic Church Extension Society has
received for vestments. To be exact,
the number is $50 These appeals are
all urgent. as can be plainly seen from
the following letter received not long
