SCHOOLS THE BEST MEANS OF
CONVERSION.

Bishop Faveau, G. NJ, of West Che
Kiang, writes at some length to ex-
plain why he is obliged to ask help
in running schools for catechumens.
The question is sometimes asked why
the Chinese cannot be converted by
sermons and general instruction. A
few, the more intelligent, are reached
in this way, but the masses must have
the truths of our religion hammered
into them, so to speak, and it is only
by a great deal of hammering that
their brains first and their hearts
afterward welcome the Faith.
The Chinese love the idea of going
70 school, and the catechist who visits
a community has little difficulty in
persuading parents to allow their
little ones to attend the mission
class. Forty children constitute a
class and slowly and laboriously the
teacher begins his work. Once fully
instructed the Chinese evince a great
desire to be baptized and admitted to
the other sacraments of the Church.
Not only is instruction given gra-
tuitously but in the cases of older

A younger man would, no doubt,
have seen what was coming, but to
me the disclosure was simply over
whelming. My heart was torn by con-
fiicting emotion; pity for poor old
Charley, admiration for that brave,
noble girl; but of the two I think
that pity was gaining the mastery,
until a doubt took hold of me. I re-
called the fact that Charley had never
married. 1t seemed, unsatisfactory,
uniting, weak even, that a man Of
| his strong character-God forbid I
should misiudge him of all men-but
Charley read me through and through.

proach in his tone, Il could not bear

grant you it is natural enough, but
wrong, all wrong. You are not to
think that I have spent my life in
useless repining for what the hand
of God has placed beyond my reach.
At the time, it's true, I was crushed,
utterly crushed; my past seemed all
in vain, my future without hope;
| rebelled stubbornly, bitterly. But
as time passed I came to think less
of my own sorrow and loss and more
of the bravery of that heroic girl;

"You have! God knows you have,
dear old bOy!" I cried, my pent-up
feelings bursting forth at last. But
praise was lost upon him.

or may do I feel that under God I

Helen Lee-or better still, Mother
Margaret. And so I've come today,

There was a silence, which Charley
broke with: "But look alive, Father
Frank; it's after ten. You'll hardly
have time to get ready for your Mass"
'True, true!" | cried, fumbling for
my watch: I'm almost late, and l

The Old Pastors Story.

l was in a quandry. Mother Mar
garet was to be buried on Tuesday,
and l had determined to do what lit
tie 1 could to make the occasion a
fitting testimonial to her great worth,
public acknowledgment of her in
valuable services to myself and to my
people.
twenty-five years ago, when I had
come to take up my duties as pastor
of st. Xavier's, her zeal and self-sac-
rifice had already spread her name
beyond the limits of the parish. Each
succeeding year had added to her
fame. 1 could not begin to tell ali
the wonderful things she did; she had
directed the school, first in the base
ment of the church, and afterward in
the magnificent structure where close
on to two thousand children where be-
ing instructed, and which, thanks to
her efforts, stood second to none in
the great metropolis. 1t was in most
part due to her skillful management
that l was able to meet the great ex-
pense of erecting and conducting it.
Of her own initiative she had built
a substantial home for the orphans,
of whom over 500 felt her motherly
care. Her community was ideal; in
deed it would be strange if it had
been otherwise, with her example to
guide and inspire them. Her infiu-
ence extended far and wide; 1 doubt
if it would be an exaggeration to say
that there was scarcely charitable
enterprise undertaken in the city
which her advice or cooperation had
not helped to success. Her prudence
and her sympathetic nature made her
the best of confidantes for the young,
especially the young women, who be-
sieged her with affectionate eager
ness and persistency. My curates and
1 found her repeatedly at the death
beds of the poor, ministering to the
helpless, stricken bodies, solacing and
Strengthening the passing souls. In
deed, it was while on just such an
errand Of charity that she contract

ALTAR LINEN AND ORNAMENTS
MUCH NEEDED.

Rev. Louis Gate is a poor apostle in
Pao-Ting.Fou, Vicariate of Central
Tche-Ly. After much hard labor he has
got his Christians to the point where
he thinks them capable OF approaching
day of alteration before the Blessed
Sacrament each month. The aim of
the devotion is to offer reparation for
all the offences committed in the
world, and to gain the conversion of
infidels.
The natives are eager for this
monthly exposition of the Blessed Sac
rament, and have given in their names
as regular attendants, very generously.
But to present Our Lord properly to
those faithful children there must be
some altar decoration. A few orna-
ments, altar linen, some paper flowers,
are only fitting for the occasion, and
these FIR Gate lacks. If any priest or
lay person cares to send secondhand
material of this kind it will help in
spreading the devotion to the Most
Blessed Eucharist.

NOT MANY CATHOLIC WOMEN
DOCTORS IN INDIA.

A contemporary gives these figures
regarding women physicians in India.
By them we see that the field is not
overcrowded with Catholics:
The total number of women doctors
in India, Burmah and Ceylon, in 1912,
according to statistics was $50. The
majority were from Europe and Ameri-
ca and were connected with Protestant
missions. The native women doctors
are trained for the most part in Cal
cutta, Bombay, Madras, Delhi and Lud-
hiana.
In Delhi, the capital Of India hos
pital and medical college for women
to be entirely under the direction of
female doctors is being built. Besides
the European and American, there are
about so pure Indian natives and IA
Anglo-Indian or Eurasian physicians.
OF the entire number only Is are Cath
Olics. Those trained in India receive
$50 to 500 a month, while foreigners
are paid a minimum Of $115 month.

John w. Bate-The Efficiency Expert
Offers 26 Extra Features-Unique to the Mitchell
All Paid for Through Factory Savings

John w. Bate, the efficiency expert,
has worked years to create here the model
motor car factory.
1t has meant the investment of S., 900, 900.
Nearly As acres have been covered with
buildings. And 1902 efficient machines are
installed in them.
Costs have been cut on thousands of parts
and on countless operations. Now 90 per
cent of the New Mitchell car is built in this
model shop. And the savings are shown by
the % extras which this car embodies.

Fathers and sons in the Mitchell.Lewis
concern have operated factories for 81
year,.
We have built millions of vehicles in.
volvins close competition. And we sue.
ceeded beyond others through efficiency.
In 1903 when we entered motor car
building we aimed to minimize factory
costs in that line. We knew the time would
come when supreme efficiency would make
one car the master of its class.
It has taken Is years, because the line
was new. Countless machines had to be
invented, countless ideas evolved.
It took ten years to arrive at a settled
model. after building Fours, Skies and
Fights.
In the Mitchell Light Six we found, it
seems, the type that has come to stay. And
. we are equipped to build that type in the
finest way at the lowest cost. The evidence
lies in the many Mitchell features which
are not found in other cars.

But there has for years been an over-demand.

MEXICAN NOTE
HURTS MARKET
Activity Expands But Quoted
Values Decline with
Few Exceptions.
SELLING is CONTINUOUS
Lack of Rallyins Strength Gives Ap-
pearance of Liquidation Rather Than
Speculative Operations for Shorts.

New York, April I3-Confronted with
the extraordinary German note covering
certain recent phases Of maritime war
fare, including particularly the case of
the Sussex, and by the pointed Carranza
note, inviting the prompt withdrawal OF
our punitive expedition from Mexico, the
stock market today turned weak and in
creased in weakness during the day.
Activity expanded, but entirely at the
expense of the price level, for without
important exception quoted values de-
clined with varying degrees. Although
1t is likely that quoted values would have
fallen with only one OF the two occur
renees7to consider. the reactionary ten
dencies displayed In the last week or so
have been evidence OF a growing sensi-
tivsnsss to the changing character Of the
International political factors in the
financial reckoning.
The opinion was made under pressure,
but there was no diminution Of pressure
thereafter Selling was steady and con-
tinuous, and the lack OF any rallying
strength gave the selling movement the
character more Of Liquidation than Of
speculative operations for the short ac-
count, although bearish effort was OBJ
vious in the trading. Practically the
lowest average Of prices was established
shortly before the close, although final
quotations were irregularly above the
lowest by short covering.
Standard descriptions offered the best
resistance, the principal sufferers during
the day being an extended catalogue Of
the Industrial specialties. which consti-
tuted the popular favorites Of last years
bull market. Losses In such issues ranged
all the way up to seven points, and more.
