A GRATEFUL TRIBUTE.

Booth Harrington pays the following
tribute to his mothers alma mater, St.
Mary,s of the Woods, Vigo county,
Indiana:
They were women Of exquisite man
ner as we'll as distinguished education,
and they must have possessed unusual
charm as well, to be so adored
throughout the life of their pupil. The
students were we'll taught; they were
really educated, and they were also
given what we once spoke of as "ac-
complishments,' for they learned the
harp, the guitar, the piano, and ac-
CURED fine accent in the French Ian
guage. But what best distinguished
the girls of st. Mary's was that lovely
manner they were taught there. And
they were taught it so we'll that it was
not a superficial veneer. Indeed it
was rather absorbed than learned, and
was something that came from with
in outward. And though my mother
spoke rarely of this, more often dwell
ing upon her affection for the Sisters
and the beauty of the place itself, the
manner of st. Mary's is what remains
most deeply impressed upon me. 1t
always springs to my mind whenever
delve for the true meaning of the
word "lady."

NEW WORK FOR FlLIPINos.

1t is gratifying to learn that a new
industry is being developed in the
Philippine Islands, which will give en-
ployment to many natives and SO
brighten conditions a little.
The work of the Philippine Sponge
Company is meeting with large
measure of success in Sulu. They are
getting out large quantities of first
class. sponges and are using exclu-
sively Moro labor, which is proving
very satisfactory, the Moros readily
learning the difficult process of clean
ing the sponges. The Sulu sponges
compare very favorably with the best
from the Florida and Greek fields.
The Philippine sponge beds are far
more extensive than those of Florida,
and if properly protected will last for
years. 1t has been predicted that the
Philippine Islands will become one of
the best sponge fields in the world.
If prospects brighten perhaps the
natives will be able to assist in re-
building their ruined churches and in
supporting their clergy.

RooK-LoVER'S MAGAZINE PAYS
TRIBUTE TO cATHoLIclTY. 1t

The Booklover's Magazine. a very
readable periodical of the secular
kind, pays this unprecedented and ster-
ling tribute to the Catholic Church. 1t
is a common-sense view often ex-
pressed by Americans. 1t remains that
these sentiments shall be expressed
in terms of the heart and conscience:
The growth of the Roman Catholic
Church in the United States is one
of the most striking facts of history
and she has also gained the popu-
lar goodwill, or at least favorable
position, and she has conquered re-
spect AT present those who look up
on her most favorably are that large
and influential class of men whose an
tecedentS were Professionals, but whose
actual connection with a Protestant
church is little more than nominal.
They know enough of Professionalism to
make them alive to it's faults, and
they know just enough of Catholicism
to make them admire it's excellence
These men care little for the theolog-
ical and ecclesiastical questions which
separate Rome and Professionalism.
They are legislators, city officials, rail
road men, editors, managers of large
business interests. Whenever their
dealings bring them in contact with a
Roman Catholic institution, they find
an organization which knows it's own
mind, knows what itswants, has some
one who can speak for it officially and
finally. They can see that it main
tains discipline among it's own mem
bers, and seems at the same time to
retain their affection. They are at
tracted, in a word, by its practical
business-like efficiency"

many soldiers who are members of the
Church of England, and the Church
Times" has warmly encouraged the
proposal that the practice should be
initiated in England Seeing that,
like st. Paul, all the early Christians
gloried in the Cross of Christ, that, as
Tertullian attests in his day, whether
they went in or out, were at the bath
or at the table, sat down or rose up,
they made the sign of the cross, and
that in the cemeteries where they
were buried scarcely one sepulchral
monument has been found which does
not bear the monogram of Christ, ar
ranged in the form of cross, it might
be supposed that no opposition would
be offered to the proposal by Protes-
tants.

and the windows were not yet put
down, and it was brisk winter morn
ing.
So when Clare, returning from
Mass, thrust her happy, glowing face
in at Elizabeth's door, she found that
young lady immersed in the remark
able first chapter of DR.. Won Ruville's
book land the chapter is called, you
may remember, How came back to
Holy Church"
"Now at last / comprehended the
power of the Catholic Church over
men of every class, every profession.
every degree of education. She had
gift to bestow which naught on
earth can equal; gift independent
of the measure of understanding, of
the mood of the moment, or of the
Imagination; a gift which can benefit
every believer in the same way, a
bodily spiritual gift, sanctifying the
body by filling the soul with heavenly
light. Here was none of the def
cheney which felt in the Protestant
Church where reflection ruled.
Elizabeth had just read these words,
and it made her look at Clare with
something both of amazement and
envy in her gaze. However, she sur
reptitiously concealed the book and
inquired where her friend had been
so early in the morning.
ooh, I've just been to Mass Clare
replied. Its a holy day of obligation,
you know. But | thought I'd be back
before you we're even awake. Have
you been wanting your breakfast?
And, goodness, Child, some one should
have come in and closed these win
dows for you. Now am sure it will
be warm in few minutes" Clare
was not deceived about the book, and
the knowledge that Bess had been
reading 1t, prompted the invitation
she gave her to attend the Holy Hour
that evening, for the feast fell on a
Friday.
Elizabeth never could remember
anything distinctly about that first
Hour Of Alteration. The people kneel-
ing, almost all of the time in silence,
were gazing with deyout eyes toward
the altar. At what they were gazing,
she did not understand. She decided
1t could not be the candles, although
she had never seen SO many of them
before. She listened to the priests
voice raised, now and again in prayer:
20 my Jesus, / adore Thee really and
present on the altar,

And it has seemed to her all her life
since that night, that she has heard

thought.
All day, as the train sped over the

Very Rev. and Dear Father:
(. A most painful impression is caused

and their walls covered with grey.
green moss.
In the middle of the last century
Bucay was made a military post or
Tort to restrain predatory instincts
and excursions of fierce head-huntine
Alsados who inhabited the East and
South of Abra. Remains of the forti.
fications and the soldiers barracks
can still be seen.
In 1S48 Bucay was missionary sta
fion. It's first church was built Of
wood and bamboo. This was soon re.
placed by a larger one built of the
same material.
Shortly before the Revolution in
1898 the friars began with the con.
struction of third and very spacious
church of stone. The friars we're
driven out and the material was used
by the revolutionary soldiers for fuel

/ ooh, Bob, and Lust came up on the
five O'Clock to meet you here. l just
couldn't wait home for you till nine
O'clock. We've talked of nothing but
you for week Oh, forgot: Bess
this is my young brother, Bob. /.
Now, go and get the porter and find
some chairs for us, like a good child.
Bess laughed at Clare's insistence
upon seniority, for she knew that Bot
was the brother who was next to
Clare and very next, too, as she re
membered it. But Bob only smiled
down, lovingly, upon Little Sister, and
departed upon his duties.
80 the stately Elizabeth has bowed
her head to the love of mere man!
Tell me about him. know he must
be extraordinary"
They always are, in such circum,
stances, aren't they?" faltered Eliza
beth. Light as Clares words were
they conveyed smart. Well she knew
that, extraordinary, was the last word
that Clare or, anyone. else. would have
been likely to apply to Frank. And
she felt her love for him rising up to
defend him from her own judgment.
Bob soon returned to say that din
ner was, being served, and the time
passed swiftly enough until the girls
found themselves in the dainty blue
and white room prepared for Elizabeth.
Il am going to send you right to bed,
Bess," Clare announced, and you
needn't get up until you want to. Bob
and father breakfast absurdly early,
but 1 shall not have mine before nine
tomorrow; would that suit you, dear?"
That will be magnificent, declared
Bess, lapsing into schoolgirl, hyperbole,
i feel as though could sleep the
clock round What an adorable room!
Where is yours
ooh am close beside you-See?"
she answered, flinging open door at
her hand
Bess stepped in, and Clare flashed on
the light. =
ooh, how beautiful" began Bess.
Then she turned look of puzzled in
quiry upon her friend: why, Glare
| don't underestimate is like nuns
cell like Juliet's chamber in the
Sothern and Marlowe productions.
1T is sweet, isn't it?' Clare an
swered, softly. You can't know how
I love it. OF course, as you will guess,
have become Catholic.
Clare moved about adjusting a cur
tain or picture in an attempt to hide
the slight confusion her declaration
had caused her; yet there had been an
unmistakab1e ring of pride in her
tones, also. Elizabeth was too much
astonished to speak, but let her eyes
drink in the beauty that had at first
impressed her. The room seemed all
white and was almost severely plain.
The only pictures were exquisite copies
of RaphaePs Sistine and Della Sedia
Madonnas, ST John, and Guido Reni's
Archangel Michael. The object that
most commanded her attention, how
ever, was priedieu with its silver cru
cifix and soft candles in cleaning sill
yer candlesticks. To E1izabeth's fam
cy, the prayer-book and rosary upon it,
looked as though the touch Of loving
fingers still fingered like incense about
them. If her room was significant,
surely her religion was all that Clare
essential i'm her life. Bess
could not reconcile such austerity with
Glare the. baby, the kitten, the loved, \
petted and spoiled darling Of her FAM
lily and her friends.
