In Memory Of Aunt Betty

Her visit here ON earth Is DER, !
Her heavenly flight 10 through.
With pallid face, but happy heart.
She the strange journey purMed.
On earth she ruled = family fair;
Her throne was long = rocking chair;
Most gracious and beloved was she,
With many children At her knee.
Because God loved the children so
He gave them this dear mother;
Now hack to the chilly earth she's gone
To sleep with many another.
Dimiy lighted. Oh the hillside,
Still stands the little home.
Where Uncle, in his lonely honrs,
Is v rafting sad aud lone.
Cheer up dear Uncle, and loved ones faii
Although your hearts are sad;
Ii only you could zee her face
Your hears would all be glad.
Though spstiess as the beautiful flowers
And Autumn days be bright and lair.
The sun itself gives forth no rays
To match her besuty there. /.
So many hearts are broken up.
So many children sad;
They wonder where dear Grandma'syo
And why shes gone oohng.
Weep not. dear ones, her body rests
On the hillside DER the way;
Her soul to Jesus now has fed
To the realms Of endless day.
Grieye not, dear ones ,for her who 10 gone
Whose ~sufferings on earth were great,
And prepare to meet her on that shore,
Before it 10 too late.
Lift mp your hearts, the golden light
OF another Christmas day
Soon will iall upon your Swallowed path
TRANSFERRING your way.
Walk in the light, oh! loving one,
Which shineth more and more;
Let Christmas mean for you this year
More joy than e'er before.
Oh! help US. Lord, that We may live
A life 30 iull Of love
That we may gladly leave this home
To meet loved mes above.

CATHEDRAL DOME COLLAPSES

across the arches and under this
weight of many tons one of them gave
way, prccipitating tons of brick,
masonry and steel to the floor.
Fortunately, at the time, no one
was i'll the Cathedral. The falling
mass destroyed the heavy oak pews,
the altar rail aud pulpit. The
mosaic floor withstood the terrific
impact and the great organ was un-
injured.
The dome, octangular in shape,
was forty-four feet in diameter and
the section of the roof upon which it
rested and which gave way, was
eighty feet square. 1t was the main
architectural feature of the Cathedral
its apex being 120 feet above the main
floor. The Cathedral, dedicated in
December, 1907, cost about 100000.
The work of reconstruction will
commence as soon as the weather
conditions permit. In the meantime,
Mass will be said i'll the Cathedral
hall which occupies the ground floor
of the adjoining parochial school.

FRAEULEIN MAYER
BAVARlAN GIRL WHO TOOK PART
m PASSION PL tssTs
CHICAGO.

Fraeulein Marie Mayer, who was
Mary Magdalene in the 1910 perform
ance of the Oberammergau Passion
Play, has come to Chicago to speak
of her people, who have for centuries
lived principally that they might re-
enact the Passion Play each decade.
She has a story to tell of the customs
and thoughts of the villagers who live
by the blue Ammer in the spirit of
1000 years ago.
Most of FraeuIein Mayors life has
been given up to training for the Pas
sion Play. Her mothers greatest
ambition was to play the part of Mary
Magdalene. She failed, but lived to
see her daughter act the role in 1910.
Fraeulein Mayer appeared first in
1890 as a little girl waving palm
branches and figuring in tableaux.
Ten years later she, was an angel in
the garden of Gethsemane. She may
not play Magdalene again in 1920, but
must surrender the part to younger
person.

EXTRAORDINARY GROWTH OF
THE CHURCH IN HALF
A CENTURY.

a little booklet just printed by the
Jesuits of Shanghai, China, gives q
glimpse of the conditions of Catholic
missions in the Far East fifty years
ago and at the present time. The
figures appearing in this report speak
volumes. We know, of course, that
the Faith has made progress in China
and Japan, but we do not realize how
extraordinary this growth has been
until we see the actual statistics.
Twenty-Five provinces are men
toned. Here are a few of the most
important: Japan in 1866 had 10000
Catholics; they now number 72,454,
and Japan is acknowledged to be a
difficult country to evangelize.
Thibet, an almost inaccessible re-
gion, had 100 Catholics half century
ago; now it has 1867.
Mongolia, also "a hard country for
the missionary, had 5000 Catholics;
now it counts S9,335. It's companion,
Manchuria, had 5000 converts in 1866: !:
now there are 50,321 members of the
True Fold.
Kiang ST shows 69,180 Catholics as
against 5000 half century ago;
Shang Tung 13O,505 against 10.751
Techeli is the banner, province, with a
total Catholic population of 485.S16
It's early statistics are not available
but they would undoubtedly show the
same comforting comparison. Ac
cording to the authority quoted, the
Catholics in the entire twenty-five
provinces total 1,seg, ,21S.
