The Tcutonic campaign against Ruma

yerging drive on Bucharest from three
directions in progress. An immediate
threat of the capital seems greatest on
the southwest, where the invaders have

TABERNACLE SOCIETIES DO
GREAT WORK.

There are so many missions right
here in the United States that are
without the necessities of worship,
that the various tabernacle societies,
organized N some of the larger cities,
are filling a long-felt want. The Con-
vent of the Sacret Heart in Chicago
has a Tabernacle Society, whose
members are composed of Jealous
women, with the welfare of the
Church at heart. They meet at regu-
lar intervals, and make vestments,
altar linens, ETC., for ten missionaries,
whose names are handed to the So
ciety. There is also q Tabernacle
Society conducted by the Sisters of
,Notre Dame in Cincinnati. These
women have done much toward fur
nishing the altar linens, vestments,
ETC., for many solitary tabernacle
out in the south and the southwest.
They were particularly generous to
the Right Rev. Bishop Nussbaum,
when he took charge of his poor do
cese and they aided him in substan-
tial manner in his efforts to fit out
the bare little churches of his poverty
stricken missions, earning his lasting
gratitude.
There are many priests on the wait.
ing list of the Catholic Church Elk
tension Society, asking for vestments,
altar linens, chalices and other sacred
articles necessary for Catholic wor-
ship. Furnishing such things for
poor missions is a triple act of love.
1t is first of all an act of love toward
God; it is an act of love towards our
neighbor and it is an act of love for
the poor souls (for all work can be
directed toward their relief.
There are few women who cannot
do something for the missions. Max.
ing altar linens is a beautiful work,
because it is done directly for Christ,
in the Blessed Sacrament The
sizes desired in altar linens will be
furnished by the Society. There are
also numberless churches without
chalices, monstrances or without a
decent vestment
We have missionaries on our list
waiting patiently for one and all of
these articles. Bishop Nussbaum is
particularly anxious for them for his
various churches. A chalice costs
SIS. A monstrance costs $40. "A vest

Either one of these would serve as
a beautiful Christmas gift to the In

NoN-cATHoLIcs PRAYING FOR
THE DEAD. +

Every day brings fresh proof of the
ever growing belief in the efficacy
and fitness of prayer for the dead.
Among those who style themselves
Evangelical Churchmen it has ceased
to be spoken of as "Romish," and
there are some of them who go the
length of advocating its use. Now
even Protestant Dissenters are cast
ing off their prejudice against it, and
the time is propably not far distant
when it will be accepted as a natural
Christian duty to intercede on behalf
of the faithful departed. We owe to
the war, of course, the general
recovery of this beautiful practice,
since the sense of loss in SO many
households has been attended with
yearning for consolation. This the
ancient teaching of the Catholic
Church has always provided, and the
fact that it has been so greatly revived
in the English Church has brought
the doctrine into prominence just at
the moment when its wider adoption
is possible. 1t is not the war that
has made prayer for the dead right
and lawful observance, but it is the
war that has furthered it's acceptance
as a normal part of devotion.

FOR THE EXILED MEXICAN
PRIESTS.

Since the exiled priests and broth
ers came from revolution-swept Mexi-
CO, seeking a harbor underneath the
stars and stripes of our flag, the chief
means of maintenance for them has
been the Mass stipends they received.
The Offices of the Catholic Church Elk:
tension Society have always been in
readiness to send any stfpends to any
of these needy priests. 1t is a real
charity to harbor and to succor the
prosecuted Mexican clergy, a charity
that can not but react in manifold
blessings upon all who have given to
them, and upon the Church in the
United States. They are real victims
of the revolution, or rather of this
series of revolutions. 1t is always
good to give to the poor; it IS better
to give to the eonsecrated poor OF
Christ-these Mexican clergy. The
Offices of the Catholic Chureh Exten
sion Society are located in title Nc

THE STORY OF A DESERT
CHAPEL.

Out on a Colorado desert 95 miles
from the nearest mission church,
stands little Chapel that has sur
yived conditions that would have over
whelmed anything but the most sturdy
growth of spirituality. Poverty, hard
ships, losses, illness and deaths have
run their course through the small
congregation which has held so
bravely to their Faith. About five
years ago, the Catholic Church Elk
tension Society gave a donation of
$4,000 to this little Chapel.
Some of the congregation who at
tended services in this little church
had to ride or walk distances that
would have appalled, the average man
of more populous districts. One old
man who attended the first services
at Troy walked So miles from his
ranch. A woman brought her two
children IL miles across the desert to
attend the services. Men and women
who had not been able to attend Mass
for many years came to the little
Chapel.
So great was the need of it in the
Colorado desert that in short time
the Chapel became too small to accom-
modate those who, came to Mass. The
priest was obliged to tear down the
rear wall in order to enlarge the
Chapel. and in order to proceed with
the building of this new addition, il
was necessary to procure funds with
which to pay for the plaster, lumber
labor, etc., and for this reason col
lection was taken up among the parish
toner's. This collection resulted in
| $500 being added to the building
fund; very small amount you may
say, but it looked like a great dea,
to these poor sheep-herders, who
really could afford very little.
! !, The priest in charge of the little
Chapel says that $4,000 will be enough
to put the roof on the Chapel, and thai
the people will do the rest. If roo
is not put on this addition soon, the
priest is afraid that storms may take
the whole roof away and then these
people will be left without church
| of any kind. Any donation you ma.
feel inclined to send for this Chape
| will be gratefully received by thu

A MISSION SCHOOL IN DIRE NEED

In a little village in one of the
Southern States there are many Next
can children who are. trusting in the
Sacred Heart, that their prayers for
a school will be heard. Who would
not be willing to give a little to this
mission school in order to preserve
the faith these children have in the
Sacred Heart? Two thousand dollars
would take care of the whole institu-
'tion, but if you are not in position
to send such large amount, The
Catholic Church Extension Society
would be glad to- receive whatever
you can send for this purpose The
letter asking for laid was received
from the priest in charge some time
ago, and reads in part as follows: a.!
"Once more the infallible word of
our Lord, Ask and you shall receive
has come true. Our dear little
brownies have made up their little
minds not to let the Sacred Heart rest
until they have their new school, The
old one always has been too small.
but during winter it is almost unbear-
able. The cracks are wide and
numerous in the floor as we'll as in
the walls and only those who have
lived in our part of the country know
with what fury the wind blows here.
Of late we have learned that the land
on which our. little, church and school
stands does not belong to us; it has
been lent only for five years, and now
the proprietor wants to sell it, cheap,
yes, but sell it. We are not discour-
Jagged, however, for we confidently beg
and trust that the Sacred Heart viii
complete the noble work which It has
begun through the Church Extension
Society and its generous bepefactors.
Do you think the Sacred Heart viii
turn deaf ear to the entfeaties of
these little children? ~
We feel certain that there are some
among you who would be glad to
share what you have of this world S
goods with these Mexican children,
who have nothing save their faith in
the Sacred Heart, and who, for the
lack of a school, will be deprived bf
the privilege of becoming acquainted
with the edifying duties of their holy
religion. Right here we can logically
repeat the words of our Lore, Suffer
the little children to come: unto Ne,
and forbid them not, for such is the
Kingdom of Heaven

asserting themselves, in spite of Mans
loving welcome, she said beseechingly,

Indeed. you shall see him! Early
this afternoon he woke and asked for
you. Come, let us so to him now;

Taking Mrs. Shaw's hand in ner
soft, white one she led her into an
adjoining room where man lay with
closed eyes, his face CHASTITY white
between the bandages. Nan leaned
over him. Jackie she whispered

understand" 1Yf6 5lHr
Languidly he opened his eyes, saw
his wife, and smiled.
Mother is here" she repeated
aloud. sl4
He looked beyond her to the
shabby, travel-stained figure, puzzled
at first; but suddenly his eyes filled
Mother! mother!" he cried, holding
out his arms. "Oh, mother, I've
wanted you so since / got hurt!'
A few minutes afterward, her bon.
net and coat laid aside, Mrs. Shaw
was sitting beside her sons bed. One
of her hands was held close in both
of his; Nan, kneeling beside her
caressed the other.

came" the girl said.

SPANISH, MISSIONER NEEDS
HELP.

The Protestant missionaries, who
evince. much more, interest in pros
elytizing Mexican Catholics, than
Catholics show in conserving the
faith of these people, are one of the
hardest obstacles that Texan mission.
aries have to meet.
A Spanish priest, Father Dueso,
laboring in Texas, has done much
toward the spiritual uplift of the
Mexicans under his charge, although
his difficulties are many.
Father Dueso has just completed
a little church under the patronage
of st. Thomas, and because of this
work he is in debt. Three hundred
dollars are needed by him to cancel
his Indebtedness, and as his poor peo-
pie can give nothing, he is looking
for outside help, Donations for
Father Dueso may be sent to the
Catholic Church Extension Society
whose offices are located in the Nc
Cormick Building, Chicago.
