THE TRIALS OF SOME OF oUF
philippine MISSIONARIES.

The war in Europe certainly has
dealt unkindly with the missionaries
of the Philippines, due to the fact
that before the war, which is now
putting Europe into a mass of ruins,
these missionaries were practically
supported by their friends and rela'
tives in Belgium. But alas, we too
know the sufferings endured by the
people of that little country. We
know only too we'll that they can nc
longer send funds to their priests in
the Philippines.
Will the Catholic priests in the
Philippines have to give up the good
work already started, because Bel
GUM can no longer send them aid?
Unless the American people come
forward soon and give that little they
can, the missionaries will certainly
have to give up their good work. TIC
whom does the Philippines belong, il
not to the United States? To whom
then should the Philippine mission
aries look in their time Of need, if not
to American Catholics?
This is your chance to help Gods
servants invite more guests to the
Masters House. Will you not helI
for His sake?
Father Cain, one Of the missionaries
of these abandoned islands, writes that
it takes about $1,000 to run his school,
each year, and that on account Of the
war, as the Reverend Father says
himself, this year is very black sc
far" What he would like very much
now is little help toward tightening
this very heavy burden. If you are
able to send only little, it will be
appreciated.
Father Hinterhuber is another one
of our poor Philippine missionaries
who is fighting hard battle in order
to keep up his little school and chapel
