ADOBE WALLS AND PIETY.

At Fabens, Texas, there is a little
chapel as yet unfinished. This chapel
is attended by a Jesuit Father, and
is situated ten miles from the Next
can border. This town has railroad
station and population of about 700
Mexican refugees, all Catholic.
Every day for the past six months
a Mexican Bishop has said Mass for
these people in small room. The
priest in charge of the chapel says,
in a letter received recently: 1.-The
abode walls of the future chapel have
been finished by voluntary work of
these poor Mexicans, during the last
three years in their spare time, but
now it is absolutely impossible to raise
any money for the roof l think

MISSIONARIES APPEAL FOR
CATHOLIC LITERATURE.

Editor Catholic Bulletin:
Allow me to ask of you a great
favor. l am a Belgian missionary in
charge of $4,000 Catholics, besides a
great lot of pagans, and there are no
other schools than public. Those boys
and girls have no other idea about
the United States than that every
thing there is Protestant; and my
country, being in a very bad shape,
actually it is impossible for me to open
Catholic schools or to buy Catholic
literature to give my poor parishion-
ers some instruction about religion
and the States. The favor | ask from
your kindness is this: Please tell
one or more of your readers to send
me their paper or magazine when
they have finished reading it. In this
way / may be enabled TO distribute
to my boys and girls some SOUND read
ing of which they are exceedingly
fond and expel their ignorance. Any
paper and magazine will thus be
gratefully accepted, and the gift will
be acknowledged in a personal letter

Yours respectfully in Christ,

inter was removed, revealing the Car
dinals cap, and the celebrant Arch
bishop knelt few moments in silent
prayer, bowed down before it, signed
himself with the sign of the Cross and
in distinct voice intoned the words,
In nomine Patris," etc.
Every person inside the Cathedral
was standing. The Cardinal then re-
turned to his throne, resumed his
inter and remained seated while SEM
inarians, priests and Bishops chanted
the Introit. An important innovation
was the presence of the Cathedral
choir of Pittsburgh, which acted as
sanctuary choir in the ''Veni Creator"
and the Gregorian chanting, later in
the Mass.

nal, rising upon his throne, intoned
the words, Gloria in eXcelsis Deo,'
and the choir, taking up the theme,
filed the edifice with echoing acclaim.
His Eminence then reseated himself;
the inter was replaced upon his brow.
Standing, in audible voice, he read
the Collect. Next followed the Epistle,
read by one of the deacons. The
Graduate was beautifully chanted by
the priests and the sanctuary choir.
Meanwhile the Cardinal had returned
to the altar; had incensed the reading
desk and the deacon of the Mass pro-
ceeded to read the Gospel
After the sermon, everybody rising,
His Eminence chanted the "CredO in
unum Deum." Then followed the sec
ond ablution, after which the Cardinal
celebrant reascended the altar.
The moment of the Conservation
had arrived. The Cardinal took in
his hands the Host, and, lifting his
eyes to heaven, used the language of
Christ at The Last Supper: This is
my Body The officiating Cardinal
then knelt in profound reverence,
holding aloft the Sacred Host.
A bell, the tones of which might
have come from another world, was
struck thrice as the Host was elevated.
Rising, the celebrant elevated the
chalice and replacing it upon the cor
poral, covered it; again kneeling, he
| adored.
The bell heard thrice again!
After prayer the celebrant signed
the Cross three times across the chal
ice. Covering the chalice, the PateI
Noster was recited, at the conclusion
of which the Bread was broken over
the chalice. Replacing it's covering
he genufiected, and struck his breast
thrice, as the choir burst forth in the
''Agnus Del"
Thrice, as if far distant, the bel

taken by the celebrant The Benedic
ton was said and the Mass was al

Father ]. Aelen. Jr, Mill Hill
Father, whom we know as a mission
airy in Nellore, India. has sent us a
long letter describing conditions in
his part of the world. He says in
part:
There is nothing so saddening for
a missionary as to see people, who are
willing to come for instruction, but
whom he cannot receive because he
has not the means.

GIRLS SCHOOLS NEEDED.

In founding new Christian centre
in pagan district all schools are
necessary, but those for girls are of
even more value than those for boys.
The girls will be founders of future
families whom they will direct in ac-
cordance with Catholic principles, and
even as children the girls are often a
means of leading their parents to the
Faith
With this idea in view Rev. J. B.
Lepers, C. M, who is attached to the
Ming Pc mission, would like to estab-
lish some schools in new posts. The
good to be done in China by means of
education is immense. The native
Sisters, called Virgins of Purgatory.
can do the teaching if their support
is furnished.
This appeal is published with the
hope that some persons with abundant
means-possibly teachers or those in
terested in the cause of education
may give it their kindly attention.

GENEROSITY OF THE BLACK
CATECHlST.

''In the Togo our missionaries have
been obliged, with much sorrow, to
close more than $50 schools, both on
account of political causes, and for
want of funds" writes Mgr. Wolf, from
Steyl. 1T is only by drawing on all
their resources that they are able to
keep up the few schools that remain
Many masters and catechis4s continue
at their posts and look only to God
for their salaries. Others are salts
fed with half pay or even with a
third or fourth part of what they
formerly received. In many places,
thank God, the Apostolic work goes on
as happily as in peace times. Thus
during the year 1915, 1,106 solemn
baptisms were administered here and
627 at the hour of death. During the
same period 1873 marriages were con-
tracted."

cOLORED PEOPLE MAKE
PROGRESS.

Notable among the events manifest
ing progress in matters educational
among the colored people of the
Southland was the resuscitation, in
October of last year, of the renowned
old Southern University, loctaed in
New Orleans, La.
Some three years ago, it was deem
ed wise, by those concerned, to re-
move the Southern University to
Baton Rouge, La. The change from
New Orleans to the capital city, how
ever, was without opposition.
The spacious and strongly erected
buildings of the University remained
idle for two years when it became
known that they would be sold at auc-
ton. Sorrow was keen in the hearts
of many, for hope had never been
quite expelled that the University
would come into it's own again. Where
legal acumen and enterprise failed,
prayer succeeded in obtaining. 1t was
remembered by many prayerful soul
that unless the Lord build the house,
they labor in vain that build it; and,
unless the Lord keep the city, they
watch in vain that keep it,"
Glad therefore were many hearts
when it was announced in the daily
press that the Southern University
group had been purchased at auction
by that devoted friend of the race

Though the University, under its
new management, began work as late
as October last, there are on the regis

INDIAN CATHOLICS AND WAR
ECONOMIES.

Father Vulliez, M. S. F. s., has for
long been carrying on a most inter-
esting, if too little known, apostolate,
at Khond (Vizagapatam Diocese), and
his loving labors among the Indian
children there are bearing remarkable
fruit Writing recently of his mis-
sion, he says: Here in India every
one is doing his best to help our brave
soldiers. Ny Khond children are no
exception to the rule You would not
believe how well they pray! Baptism

formed them in few months and they

since missionaries are never supplied
with needful articles. he usually lacks
the materials for his handiWork-no
cloth to patch the torn cassock, no

A NoN.cATHoLlc's BEAUTIFUL
TRIBUTE.

Religion is a system of faith and
worship. System implies an orderly
ARRANGEMENT of our public or private
expressions of what faith is In us.
Ceremony forms a large part OF all
religious observance, and, to my MIND,
the most beautiful, mentally inspiring,
soul nurturing of ceremonials is the
Mass. This is the opinion OF be-
lever, but a non-Catholic.
AS stand almost within the gates
of Paradise while | am in full enjoy
ment of the solemnity and enhancing
charm of the Holy Mass, | approach
a description thereof with sincere
RECOGNITION of unworthiness-not that
every motif therein fails to reach my
comprehension, but that personal fer
yor is and must be so large part
of true enthusiasm that l fear to trust
myself for free expression of opinion.
Join me, then, at st. Patrick's Cathe-
dral yesterday morning, where one OF
the largest religious congregations
ever gathered in New York house
of worship saw and heard His Emil
nence John Cardinal Farley, Arch
bishop of the diocese of New York,
celebrate Pontifcal High Mass.
The splendid temple was aglow with
the glorious sunlight of perfect Au-
gust day. Exteriorly, never did
heaven smile more brightly; rarely
seemed earth SO fair; inside the
duomo, the paintings representing the
Stations of the Cross shone with
added tints from the solar radiance
entering through the great windows
of colored glass.
Ascending his throne, the Arch
bishop of New York covered the
bright skull-cap of his cardinalate with
the zuchetta of his archiepiscopal
office.
A hush of wonderment and rever-
ence fell upon 10000 people within
the Cathedral. Myriads of electric
bulbs, aloft among the groined arches
of the roof, burst forth like stellar
worlds! The altar of white marble,
covered with laces, shone more clearly
as the lights increased. The great
organ was laundering out the Prelude
in Rheinberger's Eleventh Sonata.
Nesting of the officiating prelate
began. Golden ever and basin were
brought for the first ablution. With
eyes fixed upon the missal, the Car
dinal continued in secret prayer as the
robing was resumed. Silence such as
exists nowhere else on sea or land
the while!
Finally, a golden inter was placed
upon his head and taking the crozier
his official staff of Office, attended by
two deacons, the Cardinal Archbishop
descended from his throne and in
state assembled to the high altar.
