LETTER TO THE EDITOR
SOLDIER DEFENDS CAN
CATHOLICS.
Brownsville, Texas,
June %, 1916.


Editor, The Catholic Bulletin:
Just recently | read of criticism
by a Protestant Bishop wherein he
states that Mexican Catholics do not
love their church, which | brand as
a false statement, or ignorance on the
part of the writer.
During fourteen years in the army
l have been thrown among Mexicans
several times and was recently among
them at Vera Cruz during the Ameri-
can occupation, and was much edited
at their religion, especially that of
the women and children. Confessions
and communions are daily occurrence
among the Mexicans and the morning
Mass is always crowded, and in the
afternoons you will never find the
Church deserted as there is always
some one present
never in my life saw such crowds
during May devotions, which proves
their love for the Blessed Virgin and
the Rosary.
l wish our friend could take a trip
here to Brownsville and take in some
of the Sunday Masses and | think he
would change his opinion as they are
packed from 900 A. M. till the last
Mass at 900 A. M.
Sincerely yours,
FRANCIS AMES,
Band, 4th Infantry.

pairing to kill him and make off with
his money, guns, ammunition, and pro-
visions. BY trick he contrived to
turn the tables on the treacherous fell
low, and then,t in spite of all appeals
and promises of good behavior, turned
him adrift with just enough rations
to last back to Winnipeg. AS the guide
over a ridge on the
horizon, Hill realized that he was now
absolutely alone in the midst of a
trackless wilderness, with no chart or
instructions to steer by, and with an
uncertain number of miles still lying
between, him and his destination.
Then, for the first time. in his life,
he told me, he dropped upon his knees
and committed himself to the mercy
of God. When he rose his heart was
strengthened, and he felt himself to
be full-sized man, who must there
after stand on his own two feet and
make his own way without leaning on
others. or trusting blindly to luck.
Pushing forward in what, from the
position of the sun, he conceived to be
a northerlyl direction, he reached, after
two days plodding, a camp where he
could get shelter, cooked food, and
intelligent advice for finishing his
journey. From that day to this
said Hill, in concluding his story, Il
have been my own master in every
thing, and have never known what it
was to have sinking of the heart in
the presence of difficulties"

over the sketches of Hill which have
fallen under my eye since his death,
to observe how one incident is ignored,
which, as he told me thirty-odd years
ago, had marked the first important
turning-point in his life, writes
"Tattler" in the New York Nation.
It occurred when, as a young man,
he went, with fellow clerk and in a
very small way, into a fur-trading
venture in the Hudson Bay country.
He had always felt, up to that time,
more or less dependent on others for
his chances to get ahead in life. But

Brief Reviews and Notices

lie Sacre-coeur de Jesus (The Sacred
Heart of Jesus): BY Mgr. Gauthey,
Archbishop of Besancon.
This volume contains a resume OF
the discourses preached by Archbishop
Gauthey in his Cathedral on the first
Friday of each month since the be-
ginning of the war. He presents the
doctrine of the devotion to the Sacred
Heart according to the writings of the
Blessed Margaret Mary. These dis
courses we're intended to console those
who weep, to strengthen those en-
gagged in the conflict, to inspire
patience in those who suffer, and hope
in those who look forward to victory.
