Brewster would go to the Catholic
church with Elizabeth, he must have
| forgiven her for joining it, Frank re-
tiected. He began to consider whether
perhaps, he had not been a bit rash
in his stand against her act. Men did
marry Catholics sometimes, and they
seemed to get along very well. The
children were usually Catholicism
course, he would never consent to that
where they were not. An arrangement
might be made; he decided to look
into the matter. His meditations were
broken into by the preachers coming
into the pulpit. He settled himself to
listen to his first Catholic sermon.
He said therefore to them again:
Peace be to you. AS the Father hath
sent me, also send you.
"'When He had said this, He
breathed on them; and He said to
them: Receive We the Holy Ghost.
Whose sins you shall forgive, they
are forgiven them; and whose sins you
shall retain, they are retained
Words taken from the Holy Gospel
according to st. John, the twentieth
chapter, from the twenty-first to the
twenty-third verses, included.
I'm the name of the Father and of
the Son, and of the Holy Ghost,
Amen"
Frank forgot where he was or what
he had come for. His mind was held
with compelling force by the preacher,
who began to speak of the creation of
man. He told how God fashioned a
body for Adam from the slime of the
earth. 1t was an inert, lifeless mass
of matter until God breathed into his
face the breath of life when man be-
came a living soul. He then showed
God preparing for Himself a body
from the body of Mary, living in His
human body for thirty-three years
while working the redemption of sim
full man; showed how during that life.
He prepared for Himself another body
in which He should abide with man on
earth until the end of time. This BODY
He composed of twelve units which

come that body-that living organism
in which He was to continue to teach
and to save mankind.
Then he described how, on the even
ing of the day of His resurrection.
Jesus came to His disciples, hidden
away in fear and disbursement. He
breathed on them and said to them.
Receive We the Holy Ghost" and thew
became living body, animated by .
living Soul, and that Soul, God Him
self, the Third Person of the Blessed
Trinity.
Such, my brethren, was the insti.
tuition of the Catholic Church

never heard made before. Was II

possibility of its being fact, he was
making horrible blunder. He de.

Inhalation. They took refuge behind

save their faces.
"On every occasion since the word
liberty was first uttered in this land of
freedom the Catholics have fought to
preserve it. They transported the tree
of liberty to these shores and helped
to plant it and now that it is bearing
fruit in abundance, not only for
themselves, but all the world, think We
they are foolish enough to destroy it?
No one but shriveled pessimist be-
lieves it and no one but a trouble
maker or a professional mountebank
gives utterance to it."

church and found seat near the
door. After while, he found her, but
he could not see her face. Patiently,
he waited. Would she never leave her
pew? He did not know that she was,
even then, making novena to the
Blessed Virgin for the welfare of his
soul. But when she did pass him,
with downcast eyes, unobserving, he
did not try to make her see him. After
watching her out of sight, he turned to
his hotel. The fact that he had been
to Mass, did not occur to him.
The glimpse Frank had of Elizabeth
at Mass, that Sunday morning, proved
so comforting to him during the week
that he had determined to see her
again in the same way the next week.
He even hoped she might notice him;
that he might get a word with her,
some time, as he left the Church.
AS she was not at the first Mass, a
few Sundays later, he resolved to re-
main for the second. When the serv-
ice had proceeded as far as the Cos
pei, he realized she would not he at
that one, either. He tried to reassure
himself; it indicated nothing serious;
she might not be feeling quite well,
nothing more, and he cursed himself
for the catch in his throat when the
priest requested the prayers of the
congregation for the happy repose OF
the soul of Miss liZabeth-Bartlet
(would he never get the last name
pronounced? who had died during the
week. Of course, Elizabeth was all
right; she had just preferred not to
come this morning; it was a nasty
day. He fingered on the church steps,
consulting his watch. 1t seemed to
him he had heard that Catholics al
ways went to Mass; that was one of
the things he had against them, he
believed.
Presently, he became aware that
some one was trying to speak to him:
"Cathlic Bulletin-Cath'lic Bulle-
tin," screeched boy beside him;
then touching his cap, respectfully, he
said, "Haye Bulletin, Mister?''
Frank gave the boy coin and took
the paper. Say, lad, do you Catholics
always go to Mass on Sundays"
Eyes, sir, we has to-less'n we're

"Going to have any more today?"
Eyes, sir, at 'leven o'clock there's
another. The preachin' an the music's
great to that
$50 they preach, sometimes" Frank
smiled to himself. He determined to
come back at eleven, and he sauntered
over toward the Park, perusing The
Catholic Bulletin. He found many of
the articles of interest, and he found,
also, that the knowledge that it was
of Elizabeth's Church he was reading,
made him less yindictive, in spite of
himself

then went to tell the owner so that
he might take the animal away. But
the owner hid himself and when the
neophyte who had killed the pig was
passing he shot him in the back.
For time it looked as though
there would be war. The Christians
wanted to avenge their comrade and
even some pagans offered to assist
them in this. But as soon as Father
Durand and l heard what had hap
pened we went to Barrier Bay and
settled the matter by securing an in
demnity for the family of the slain
man. Peace seems to be restored, but

tentions of the natives"

LIFE AMONG THE cANAKs.

Rev. Father Tattevin, a missionary
in the New Hebrides, writes from
Pentecost Islands to Rev. Father
Regis, procurator of the Marist mis-
sions:
I have returned from the annual
retreat which has just taken place at
Port Villa. Hitherto communications
in the New Hebrides have been far
from being convenient and regular
No one, however, failed to respond to
the call, and we have thus been able
for few days to bathe our souls in
supernatural waters and enjoy family
life together
My chapel is finished, thanks to
Brother Henry, and shall decorate it
by degrees. My house is also finished

ly relieved of the cares of building

be feared in this country, destroys at
one sweep the fruit of so much labor.
Recently l had the happiness of
administering twelve baptisms, and |
am rejoicing to see the number of my
Christians increasing, inasmuch as
have had the sorrow of burying within
three months so many of our parish
toner's. One Of them was slain by
one OF my neighbors, an obstinate
pagan, and was far from expecting
such savage act, since it was com
mitted contrary to custom.
Some of my faithful of Barrier Bay
had planted a field of taros and had
surrounded it by a fence in order to
keep the pigs from devasting it.
Custom allows anyone to kill the pigs
that break into a plantation, and one

GERMAN PRIESTS INTERNED.

Thirteen German priests, who have
been interned in British prisons since
October "a, 1914, have arrived in San
Francisco en- route from Sydney, Aus
tralia, to Germany. They are travelling
under guarantee of safe passage from
England, and, like prisoners of war,
were exchanged for interned British
priests in Germany. They all were
stationed in the island of Ceylon and
are members of the Oblates of Mary
Immaculate.

JUNGLE FEVER.

FIR. j. Aelen, Jr, of Nellore, British
India, has been afflicted with jungle
fever each summer for the past five or
six years. This season he has had
double work to do on account of alb
sent missionaries, but even on the
hottest days he felt no fever at all.
He says it seems as if Providence
wants to keep him in good health so
that he can perform the extra amount
of tasks allotted him.

as CATHOLICISM A MENAcE?

Under the above title ''The Peoples
Press" of Ell Reno, oklahoma, editor
tally expresses itself as follows:
I'VE were raised a Protestant and
thank God we are no apostate. We
learned Professionalism at a Methodist
mothers knee and from the Bible. We
are not, from convictions nor from
pecuniary gain, assuming the role of
an apologist of the cause of Roman
ism. We were taught that this is a
land of religious liberty where every
man is privileged to worship in his
own way, and we were also taught to
respect any religious faith however
fatuous it may appear to us, that has
cast one CLEAN OF supernal glory into
the dark vale OF human life.
I'VE have no patience with the man
who pretends to fear Catholic con-
spiracy' against the liberties of this
country. The American Catholic may
take his theology from Rome, but he
takes his politics from home-from
the genius of our institutions. He is
Just as loyal to his party and to his
government as the citizen of any
church or denomination.
Crane speaks disparagingIy of all
Catholic countries and points to
Spain and Mexico as proof of many of
his startling assertions. Spain once
stood in the very front rank Of civili-
cation. She was the arbiter of the
worlds political destiny,-and she was
more Catholic then than today. The
decline of Spain is not more attribut-
able to Catholicism than the decadenCy
of Greece to paganism. The Catholic
Church found Spain a nation of bar
Harians and brought her up to her
highest state Of civilization. Her
Catholic Majesty sold her jewels AMI
bought the New World.
The Catholic Church found England
a nation of barbarians and brought
neT up until the Catholic barons wrung
rom King John at Runnymede, the
great English Charter of Liberty-the
mother of our constitution.
Roman Catholics signed the Dec
laration of Independence. Three Cath
Olics helped to frame the Federal Con-
stitution. Every battlefield from York
town to San Juan Hill has been wet
with Catholic blood. Many Catholics
crossed the sea to fight for American
liberty. When all seemed lost in our
struggle for freedom, Catholic France
sent her chivalrous sons and emptied
her treasury in our behalf. She bid
them go and draw around the cradle

Swords that no king, principalitya0T

They helped to plant the tree of liber-
ty in the West and they have stood

How completely Elizabeth had taken
him at his word, when he had told her,
in a burst of passionate bigotry, that
he would not tolerate her Catholic
faith, Frank came fully to realize; and
he felt, too, what bitterness it was to
him to have her do so. Again and
again, he called, but she would not see
him. Was it merely a perverse Fate
that denied him a chance meeting?
For months, he did not have glimpse
of her. Stranger still, he did not hear

that people, probably with intention,
refrained from speaking of her to him,
and, Of course, he could not bring him
self to inquire about her. 1t was all
perfectly natural, yet it appeared to
him uncanny. 1t seemed to him as
though she were dead. He dreamed of
her, dead; he touched her pale, cold
cheeks; he looked into her grave. In
waking hours, he cursed himself for
an imaginative fool, but his nights
of terror repeated themselves. His
days were scarcely happier. Every
heart throb was her name; every
breath, cry for her. 1t was the old,
old struggle between his love and
himself.
The day came when he could endure
his misery no longer. He must see
her, at any cost, and get this beastly
obsession that she was dead out of
his mind. He had tried every other
place where he thought there might
be possibility of seeing her; he de-
cided to go over to st. Anne's before
Mass and catch glimpse of her as she
went in. He waited until the last
straggIer had entered the church.

Weakness in Wheat Futures
Makes Cash Market Very
Dull-Traders Holding.
CORN RECEIPTS ARE LIGHT


Omaha, September IS, 1916.
The cash wheat market was very dull on
account Of the weakness In futures, and
traders held their grain over for better
prices. The buyers also, were not inclined
to take the samples at the prevailing prices
and as a result, the sales were very light.
The market was quoted 10 to &c lower,

The No. hard brought ,147 and $50,
and the sample grade sold as low as s132h,
while the best price was S1.4s.
The corn market was also very quiet and

were no sales OF white corn reported. and
the better grades of mixed and yellow corn
sold well up around 7sc, u
There was a fair demand for this cereal,
but the receipts were very light and only a
