y EARLY last fall | was the victim

Erma Schindler. of 1910 Victor
Street. St. Louis, as Introductory
for a remarkable story of her ex-
perience as worker in the great
business world for women.
II was in bed for almost two
months" Miss Schindler states
"My nerves were completely shat
tered by the shock and subsequent
suffering. Since that time l have
never been right from the stand
point of health and vigor. My
work seemed as if it was twice as
hard as formerly and after a few
hours my limbs would hardly sup.
port me.
II began to lose rest and after
this came loss of weight and
strength"
Now, thanks to Tanlac, I am
feeling Ike my old self again. I
had confidence in Tanlac because
of the many people who had rec
commended it"
my sleep is sound. awake in
the morning refreshed and rest
ed. My appetiteis is good and I am
gaining new strength very fast.
thanks to tanlac."
Miss SCHNEIDER really offers a
splendid sermon for the thousands
of earnest, intelligent girls of the
business world, who have found
themselves unequal to tasks, have
surrendered instead of fighting it
out and finding the strength they
need.

her eight months term of school at
Bloomingdale, six miles southeast of

THREE NEW CHINESE PRIESTS.

II q. -! =
Three new priests were ordained in
the Pekin Cathedral on December Is,
last year. They were the ReVs. Peter
Shu, Matthias Yu and Anthony Che.
The three were assigned to parish
work Immediately.
The ordination of Chinese priests
may come as a surprise to some of
our people who seem to think that
there isn't. a chance for man to be
a good Catholic unless his skin is
white. . HILL, !.
A benefactor mentioned how she
tried to induce a friend to adopt one
of our poor orphans, and would have
succeeded only for the remarks of a
second friend. why, you couldn't
make a Christian. out of that black
youngster in thousand years. Yet
we have black priests and Sisters,
yellow and red, and would have all
the other colors, too, if the Lord had
designed them.

SISTERS OF THE GOOD
SHEPHERD. Il

The clamor raised against the Sis
tiers of the Good Shepherd by a few
bigoted fanatics has called forth a
splendid defense of these devoted
women from Lutheran of Omaha,
who admits that he was filled with
prejudice, and who determined I'd in
vestigate a convent. Here is the con-
clusion which he reached: 50
Instead of a prison-like reform
school, with hayward girls, held to
their tasks by rod and iron discipline,
l found a place very much resembling
any girls school with dormitories-
the only difference being the work
rooms in connection. And for order,
cleanliness and kindness in discipline
L doubt if any school averages higher.
= We saw the girls at school
and at work, inspected the laundry,
sewing-rooms, dining-rooms, dormi-
tories, infirmary, lavatories, kitchen,
store-rooms and parlors., And every
where we saw the same perfect order
and spotless cleanliness Each girl
has separate bed, towel, soap, comb
aud brush and dishes which she
washes herself All girls of school
age must spend half of each day in
study and recitation. Last year there
were eight graduates from the eighth
grade. Special attention is given to
music and at present the girls have
an orchestra of fifty pieces. and a
class of twenty beginners. A good
library is also at their disposal"
After, proceeding in this strain. for
some time the writer closes his .lorg
letter with this sentence After
seeing the work these gentle, refined
ladies are doing for humanity, it is
hard to understand how any one can
stoop to make their labors greater
by petty annoyance and abuse"

sTEREoPTlCoN AIDS WORK OF
CONVERSION.

Father Sylvester Bosquet, who has
labored for fifteen years in Japan, says
that there are 100000 souls to eyange-
lie in the populous city of Osaka,
where he is stationed. He devotes
much of his attention to stereopticon
lectures, which have proved an i'm
portant factor in the work of CONVEX
sion., Besides the regular Sunday
evening conference, several held dur
ing the, week have been well attended.
On the feastsof st. Joseph, 900 pagans
assisted at a small moving-picture
representation Of the Alteration Of the
Wise. Men, the Passion and the
Resurrection. On another occasion,
in spite of bitterly cold weather.; 200
heather were present at conference
where religious literature was dis
tributed; and the satisfaction which
these nimble witted natives expressed,
indicates that an unusually deep inn
preston was made on them. One of
the recent converts brought into the
Faith by these conferences, is a
descendant of an illustrious Christian
family which endured persecution
during the 18TH century.

DON'T FORGET THE LITTLE
@... = SISTER. 4.


The foreign mission idea is still a
new one to many Catholics. In spite
of considerable eXhortation and eX-
PLANTATION on the subject, there are
those who regard it with shyness if
not suspicion. They have yet to get
acquainted with the thought that the
Catholic horizon Is not bounded by
their own parish. =.
To such persons nothing will be
more useful than mission literature;
In spite of themselves, they will soon
get interested lin the very real
stories that the missionary priests and
nuns tell. Our apostles do not write
long epistles, a few simple demands
expressed in simple way make the
gist of their letters, bread for the
orphans, medicines for the sick, a roof
for tumble-down chapel-such are
the demands most often made. To
meet these only few pennies, the
unnoticed surplus, are asked; for the
foreign missions are still the little
sister among Catholic charities, and
accustomed to take an inconspicious

CHRIST, THE CENTRE OF CATHo
Lie DOCTRINE AND WORSHIP.

Rev. James Benninger, Methodist
minister at Wilkes-Barre, Pa, asks a
number of interesting and pertinent
questions regarding the influence eX-
ercised by the Catholic Church.
. How does she do it? How does she
set men out of bed on Sunday morn
ing at an early hour-men who work
late on Saturday night? How does she
fill the streets on Sunday morning with
worshippers when the Protestant world
is fast asleep? | know some of the
explanations that are offered, but they
do not explain. Many that we have
heard and read only seem childish
twaddle One man will tell you that
the Catholic Church contains nobody
but ignorant people. But is that true
to the facts of the case? Do we not
know Of brilliant lawyers and judges
and professors and business men who
are devout worshippers at her shrine?
But if it we're true that she only had
ignorant people, would not the criti-
cism pay her high compliment? For
every Protestant clergyman in Chris
tendon knows that the hardest peo-
pie to get along with are ignorant peo-
pie. A Church that can gather and
hold the ignorant rabble has vitality
very much to be desired. But the
criticism is not true. ~
Another man win tell you that, the
Catholic Church scares people into her
fold. How often have you heard that?
But that explanation is no better than
the first. You can readily see how
one generation might be frightened
into doing something, but who is will
ing to believe that twenty generations
can be worked upon in the same way;
The SCarecrow method is bound to play
out with the growing years. No, such
explanations as we usually hear eX-
plain nothing. Her secret lies deeper.
THE reason the Catholic Church
succeeds, in spite of our misgivings,
is because she is true to the central
fact of revelation. She makes the
death of Jesus the centre of her devo-
ton, and around that point she organ
ICES all of her activities. When you
see company of Catholic people on
Sunday morning on the way to church,
you can be assured of this: they are
not going for the sake of fine music;
they are not going to hear an eloquent
dissertation on DR.. Jekyl or Mr..
Hyde They are going to that place
of worship to attend Mass. What is
the celebration Of the Mass? 1t is what
we call the celebration of the Lords
Supper, That fact is kept prominent
4y before the mind of every Catholic.
What is the first thing you see as
you approach a Catholic church? A
cross. What is the first thing you see
as you enter that church? A cross.
What is the first thing you see a Cath
Ole Go as he seats himself in that
