which they no doubt will.

business man of Liberal, arrived
Tuesday from Tacoma, Washington,
where he has spent the last two

with Mr.. Dalton but to Judge from
the many hearty handshakes he got
from the citizens upon his arrival,
he is mighty well liked by the Liber-

him return.

There is the greatest haste to get
rid of the body. Christians them
selves have sometimes come to the
missionary in the middle of the night,
entreating the immediate burial of the
deceased. The pagans will not keep
dead body in the house after sunset,
even for money.
If it is difficult to induce the Chris
tians to act seriously at a funeral it
is because death does not inspire them
with horror. When one of them is
dangerously ill his relatives talk
openly of his approaching death as an
entirely natural affair So when FIX
treme Unction is administered no sad
and affecting scenes are witnessed at
the bedside of the dying.
The missionary among this strange
people writes that he has assisted at
the death beds of many Christians and
has seen them die in perfect peace
and with an astonishing feeling of
security. How can child of God go
to hell?" the native Christian asks in
wonderment.

years in innumerable bodies spread

counting by crowds and enlisting by
thousands the noble, ardent, and the
gifted in their cause,-not to mention,

Reformers, holiness, and it's connec-
tions-what would these not have
grown into, in the course of the last
three centuries, if the cause which
produced them had remained in all it's
force and activity? No matter, is
the reply; if the Reformation had not
taken place just then, some other
catastrophe would have swallowed
them al #up at once.s So the Refor-

tiIization and enlightenment, arts and

Since the inception of the society,
nearly eleven years ago, and through
the generosity of patrons of The sOci-
ETY., six hundred chalices, each repre-
senting the donation of SIS from a
friend of the society, have been sent
out to needy missions. Are there not
four generous Catholics among the
many thousands in this country of
ours who will come forward now with
a donation to take care of the remain

Among other things greatly needed
on the missions are the following:
Ciboria for $15; Stations of the Cross

HIGHER CIVILIZATION AND THE

Circumstances, artfully taken ad-

very state of things so much calumni-
ated from the time of it's rise. And,
fortunate at last in this, Protestant
ism manages, through all its failure,
to obtain from the Catholic influences
it could not entirely destroy, some spe-
cious appearance of success, by pre-
tending to be connected, as their eff
ficient cause, with all those social ad-
vantages which are only parallel with
it in time. Nothing is more conven-

A NOBLE THOUGHT.

This example should be followed by
many worthy persons who think that
an elaborate memorial in a cemetery
IS sign of respect to the dead. It
is, in way, but the lasting tribute of
OF charity to Christs poor will mean
more to the dear departed than stone
and marble ornaments.
A brother and two sisters deter
mined to erect costly monument in
memory of a deceased brother After
due consideration. a simple stone
marked the grave, and an offering of
$4,000 was sent for the erection of a
memorial chapel. The chapel is to
be dedicated to st. John the Evange.
list, the patron of the deceased.
The reason for the change in plans
was list of donations given by him
during the course of the past ten
years. 1t was felt that the chapel
and not the monument would be just
what he would want, and SO the
money was given to the missions and
not to the tombstone man.
1t is not a difficult matter to instil
into our good Catholic people zeal and
love for the missions. On the con.
trary, there is not another religious
cause SO popular. There seems to
exist IN each Catholic heart a chord,
which has only to be touched to cause
it to vibrate in sympathy with the
work of propagating the Faith among
the heather. e

OUR PHlLtPPlNE RESPONSE
RILITIES.-

The religious problem of the Philip
pine Islands is one of the most vital of
those which American responsibility
has assumed in its governmental re-
lationships. The Philippines, on their
way to rescue from heathenism, were
suddenly thrown into the jaws of a
war with which they, themselves, had
no immediate relation and transferred
from a government with whose forms
they had become accustomed, to a
government totally unfamiliar to
them. Had it not been for the self
sacrificing labors of many American
Catholics the Catholicity of the
Philippines would have been most
dangerously impaired by the sudden
change in the islands.
4 As it is. the Philippines remain a
point of intense responsibility to the
Catholics Of America. Because of the

governmental action of the United
States, it has become the duty Of
American Catholics to maintain a
friendly interest in the future of the
Church in the Philippines. For many
years American Catholics rallied
splendidly to this duty, but under the
pressure of the last few years general
interest in the Philippines seems to
nave Waned, and with it the imme-
liate interest of American Catholics
in their special responsibility to their
brethren in the islands. For this rea-
son it is most important that the plea
Of the Philippine missionaries for
i.resent aid be needed.
Without Catholic school here, the
Catholic faith will die away in short
time" These are the words of mis-
sionary OF the Sacred Heart of Jesus,
who is laboring in the Philippines.
Some time ago the charity of Ameri-
can Catholics enabled him to open a
Catholic school; and this question
now arises, will the same charity help
this struggling missionary to main
tain the school? If anywhere in the
world the undenominational school is
a danger, in Tago it is a true calamity
for the faith; and for this reason it is
essential that these Filipinos have
Catholic school in their midst.
Probably the children would like to
help with their pennies and nickels as
limited in the following paragraph of a
letter received from the priest in
charge: eff the children of the paro-
chial schools of the United States
would only contribute cents a week
for their brown brothers and sisters in
the faith, we would be able to do what
we can't do now, owing to the lack of
means. The American Catholics will
not permit that school built by the
charity Of some of their compatrfots
shall languish and perish for want of
a few hundred dollars. All who help
us will have real part in our mis-
slonary work and the Sacred Heart of
Our Saviour will bless them and their
children as reward for what they do
for our poor children at Tago."
