TEXAS PRIEST NEEDS SCHOOL

when / was ordained for the Arch
diocese of Chicago a few years ago"
said Father Steines, a young priest
who is now laboring in Texas mission
fields, "little did think that one day
/ would be one of the begging priests
of the South, or to state the case cor
rectly, one of the poor begging priests
of the poor South.
Father Steines may be poor, but he
is an enthusiastic worker, and if
there is a place on earth where en-
thusiasm is a necessity it is in the
hard life of the missions.
Ill health and bit of the mission
ary spirit is the reason Father Steines
gives for having cast his lot with the
missionaries, and there is no doubt
that he has his share of hard work in
his chosen field. He attends to four
missions and he is managing to effect
much good
Il took the oath of afiliation on
January H. said Father Steines,
the very day on which the Diocesan
clergy started their retreat. They
asked me whether would make the
retreat, and they laughed when in
formed them that priests coming from
Chicago were so holy that they needed
no retreat" But Chicago and its
many interests have but little to offer
him now
my people are anxious for Catho-
lie school, and they cannot afford to
build one, but if it is built for them
they can afford to maintain it; $1,000
would enable me to build one"
Protestants are very aggressive in
Texas. These people who do not make
the pretensions that Catholics make
ARE building many institutions, while
our priests are handicapped for lack of
funds. If American Catholics but pos
sessed one-half the missionary spirit
that American Protestants possess,
the missionary problem would be
solved.
The Bishop of the Diocese is most
anxious for this school. In fact, 1t
means much for the spread of Cath
olicism in Fathers Steines' mission.
Of course, while there are people who
could give thousand and not miss it,
| it is the many, however, who read
this who, if each helped according to
his means, will insure the building OF
the school, Donations may be sent
| to the Catholic Extension Society,
whose offices are located in the Nc.

THE cuRIoslTlEs OF SHINING.

Si-Ning, on the Chino-Tibetan
frontier, which has already been ex-
plored by our Scheut missionaries,
has some distinctly interesting fea-
lures which differentiate it from the
ordinary Chinese city. Among other
things it possesses a Mohammedan
suburb, KuiKui, which contains a
regular Moslem community, whose
existence in Mongolia dates back to
the eighth century. They live aloof
from their Chinese neighbors, and OBJ
serve their religious duties so rigor-
ously as to take their own cooks with
them when they go out to dine, as
Father Stappers once found when he
was invited to meet some of these
worthless. At Si-Ning, too. is the re-
nowned 'letter-tree" that has long puz.
zled travellers. The leaves, bark and
trunk are covered with Tibetan char
acters, and how they are produced re.
mains horticultural mystery. Father
Stappers was, one is sorry to hear,
incredulous as to the genuineness OF
the phenomenon, yet other mission.
aries have readily admitted themselves
baffled by it.

DICKENS ON RleoTRY.

In the original preface Of Barnaby
Rudge," Charles Dickens, the eminent
English novelist, has this to say con
cerning religious bigotry: These
disturbances (the No-Popery Riots),
are impartially painted by one who
has no sympathy with the Romish
Church, though he acknowledges some
esteemed friends among the followers
of its creed. 1t is unnecessary to say
that these shameful tumults, while
they reflect indelible disgrace upon
the time in which they occurred, and
all who had act or part in them, teach
a good lesson. That what we falsely
call a religious cry is easily raised by
men who have no religion and who in
their daily practice set at naught the
commonest principles Of right and
wrong; that it is begotten of intol-
erance and persecution that it is
senseless, besotted, inveterate and un-
merciful, all history teaches u.s."

Within the church. every eye is fixed
in deepest recollection upon the taber-
nacle, the home Of the sweet and

liturgical litany in perfect unison.
When the service is over, they file
out just as reverently, and talking
quietly now, they return happy to
their miserable huts. The children
run ahead TO catch butterflies for the
good Father, but alas! the beautiful
wings are crushed by too eager little
brown hands before they ever reach
him, and his collection grows but
slowly.

TN certain circles it is popular to
denounce bitterly the Roman Catholic
Church, and in the condemnation for
get her splendid achievements and the
consecrated service she has rendered
humanity, says the Bulletin of the Los
Angeles Consistory of the Scottish
Rite Masons, December, 1914. The
long roll of patriots, statesmen, phil
anthropists, thinkers, heroes and
sanity souls who have drawn their
spiritual inspiration from her com
munion is sufficient proof of the real
greatness of her religious teachings.
Among her priests are those whose
names have become synonymous with
purity of life and unselfish effort for
the betterment of humanity-F'atheT

THE KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS.

The Reverend Sidney G. Partridge
Bishop of the Episcopal Church of the
Western district of Missouri, speak.
ing to the Knights of Columbus and
their guests at the Discovery Day
banquet given at the Muehlebach ho-
tel, said in part:
knights of Columbus, you are wor'
thy of the name that is yours if you
are knights in the true sense of the
word. In this day when, alas, SO
much of the ancient chivalry of the
days of our forefathers has been for
gotten or at least disregarded, beg
YOU be worthy of that name wherever
you are.
In the courtesies that you show, in
your daily life, in your home. in asso-
citation with your fellow men, in meet
ing every one above you or below
you, wherever it may be, be worthy
of the name of being a knight, as
they were in the good old days of old.
I'VE need them, aye we need them
sadly now We need all that ancient
chivalry, more perhaps today than we
have at any time in the lifetime OF
those who are sitting here, and beg
YOU all also be worthy of the name
of the great navigator and discoverer
the man always on the prov of the
vessel, looking ever forward. forward,
onward, onward, always hoping, al
ways trusting; he knew not what was
in store for him, he little dreamed at
first of the continent that should in
latter days be associated with his
name, but he was looking for some
thing all the time; he was looking for
the new and the shorter and the bet
ter way to the lands that lay beyond
the sea, and just because he was look
ing, just because he was struggling,
just because he was ever hoping, hop
ing, he found, like the man in Holy
Writ, the great pearl of masterful
price.
BE worthy of the name with which
this great society has been honored.
That is something to be most highly
,prized in this day and in this genera
tion. And so l bid you Godspeed in
all that you stand for Be faithful, be
loyal to your organization and to all
ers and to the heads of the Church
stands. Be never ashamed of it at
any time or on any occasion. Be per-
sonally loyal to those who are its lead
ers and to the heads of the Church
over you, and love, honor and respect
them for what they represent. BE
faithful, be true, be loyal and those
round about you, looking at you, will
respect you and honor you. Aye, it
always does that, and you will feel
that it is an honor. 1t is something
that you can feel true and always
proud of that you are a knight and q
knight that bears the name of one ol
the noblest and the grandest and the
most dauntless and the most hopeful
men that the world has ever seen
who bore the cross in one hand and
the faithful sword in the other"

THE JEsulTs.

The following paragraph is taken
from an Essay on Cervantes, written
by Henry Giles, a minister of the Uni
tartan Church, an eloquent lecturer as
we'll as scholarly critic:
Wonderful, indeed, was the Order
of the Jesuits. It stood by the thrones
of kings-it entered into their secret
councils; it leetured in colleges; it
conversed with the American Indian
in his wigwam. From Delhi to Pekin,
from the Canadas to Peru, you may
find its track where missionary had
never left print before. Brierian in
skill, it had hands for hundred arts
Ito, forge cannon or make a pin, to
raise tent or build temple, to paint
the likeness of a Chinese monarch S
stupid face or take the measure of the
universe. More than protean in vari-
ETY. of adaptation, there was no ma
tion, there was no race, whose
manners it could not conform, and
with whose language it was not famil-
lar. 1t wore the vesture of Brahmin
Bonze or Mandarin with the grace of
native bearing, and it spoke their for
midable dialects with the ease Of ma
tive instinct. Invincible in spirit as
it was universal in genius. it had
courage to endure and ability to di-
rect. When it failed, it still had
strength in reverse to sustain it in
endurance and crown it with a mar
tyr's death"

secution till the end of the third CEN
tury the fierce struggle continued
fierce. because meek, unobtrusive,
spiritual, as the Christians were, they
yet reused the hatred of every single
class. Paganism never troubled itself
to be angry with mere philosophers
who aired their elegant doubts in the
shady xyotus or at the luxurious feast,
but who with cynical insouciance did
what they detested and adored what
they despised. They were unworthy
of that corrosive hatred which is the
tribute paid to the simplicity of virtue
by the despair and agony of vice. But
these Christians, who turned away
with aversion from temples and stat
ues, who refused to witness the games
of the amphitheatre, who would die
rather than fling into the altar-fame
pinch of incense to the genius of the
Emperors; who declined even to wear
garland of flowers at the banquet, or
pour a libation at the sacrifice; whose
austere morality was a terrible reffec-
tion on the favorite sins which had
eaten like spreading cancer into the
very heart of their nations life; these
Christians, with their unpublished bar
barism; their unphilosophic ignorance,
their stolid endurance, their detesta-
BILE purity, their intolerable meekness,
kindled against themselves alike the
philosophers, whose pride they irri-
tated: the priests, whose gains they
diminished; the mob, whose indul-
gences they thwarted; the Emperors,
whose policy they destroyed. Yet,
unaided by any, opposed by all, Chris
tianity won. Without one earthly
weapon she faced the legionary mass
es, and tearing down their adored
eagles, replaced them by the sacred
monogram of her victorious 1abarllm;
she made her instrument of a slaves
agony symbol more glorious than
the laticlave of consuls or the diadem
of kings; without eloQuenee she si-
fenced the subtle dialectics of the
academy, and without knowledge the
encyclopedia ambition of the Porch.
The philosopher who met a Christian
Bishop on his way to the Council of
Nicaea stammered into confession
of belief, and the last of Pagan En-
perors died prematurely in the wreck
of his broken powers with the despair
ing words, "Vicisti Galilaee!" 20
