school. The Protestants are numer-
Gus and the spread of bad literature
against the Catholics is becoming
worse every day. This is, you know,
near the hot-bed of the Menace. If
we had a Catholic school for the
children, a strong foundation in re-
ligion would be laid. Such would, in
the course of a few years, make the
parish and religion grow wonderfully"
The Bishop of the diocese has
urged the priest in charge of this par
ish to build a school, we'll realizing
what the faith of the next generation
would be like if the children are
denied a school now. But what can
poor priest do without means?
The erection of school in this
place will cost from $1,000 to $4,000,
and 5000 would put new roof on the
chapel as well as fix it up a little on
the inside. Who speaks first for this
place?

pose to the Catholic Church Extension
Society, Mccormick Building. Chicago,

THE WORK OF A HALF-cENTuRY
IN THE FAR EAST:Hn

"a
A little booklet Just printed by the
Jesuits of Shanghai, gives a glimpse
of the conditions of Catholic missions
in the Far East fifty years ago and
at the present time. The figures ap-
pearing in this report speak volumes
We know, of course, that the Faith
has made progress in China and
Japan, but we do not realize how
extraordinary this growth has been
until we see the actual statistics.
Twenty-Five provisions appear; here
are, a few of the most important:
Japan in. 1855 had 10000 Catholics !;
they now number 72,454, and Japan
is acknowledged to be difficult coun:
try to evangelize. $50
Thibet, an almost inaccessible
region, had 100 Catholics half cen
fury ago: now it has 1851.
Magnolia, also a hard country for
the missionary, had 5000 Catholics;
now it counts $685.. Its companion,
Manchuria, had 5000 converts in 1865;
now there are 50,321 members of the
True Fold.
Kiang 81 shows 69,1S0 Catholics as
against 5000 half century ago;
Shang Tung 130,505 against 1851
Tche-li is the banner province, with
a total Catholic population of 4S5,316.
It's early statistics are not available,
but they would undoubtedly show the
same comforting comparison. Accord
ing to the authority quoted, the Cath
rolics in the entire twenty-five pro
vinces; total 1,S6S,21S.

FOR AN OKLAHOMA SCHOOL.

From little town in Oklahoma, In
one of the poorest dioceses in the
United States, the Catholic Church
Extension Society has just received a
letter that should demand the prompt
attention of all Catholics who are in
terested in preserving their Holy
Faith.
The letter which we have the pleas
ure of reprinting below shows the
necessity of a school in the locality,
and, since it is impossible for a con-
gregation of twenty families, who
have no means to meet even the most
necessary expenses of the church, to
supply the money for this purpose, it
is the Catholic people of the country
who will have to build it. The letter,
in part, is as follows:
Our little Church needs a new roof
as 1t leaks so badly that few of the
vestments were almost ruined. and
the interior needs painting very, very
badly. We have tried to raise money
every way we can, but it seems as
though the people around here think
Catholics are a bad set of people. 4

who acts like the Menace said the
Catholics do, don't need help; so you

AMONG THE NEGLECTED PEOPLE
OF NEW MEXICO.

In the slums of one of the principa
cities in New Mexico, Jesuit Father
is trying his very best to build a little
chapel for the people of his large but
poor congregation. What a joy and
blessing it would be for these neglect
ed people to have a chapel in their
midSt-a place where they could go to
get away from the heat and filth OF
their narrow streets, and still more
diSagreeable homes.
Needless to say the poor priest will
have to look to people outside his con
gregation for money to build the con.
templated church. He has appealed
to the Catholic Church Extension So.
Ciety for aid in the erection of this
chapel for the people of the slums.
Much as the Extension Society would
like to help, they are dependent also
upon the charity of noble Catholic
souls for assistance, and are, there
fore, making an appeal in behalf of
this little man who has consecrated
himself to God, body and soul, and
who has left behind him all those who
were most dear, in order that he
might the better serve his Master. His
work is an example of what thousands
of noble men and women are doing
by entering the services of God and
one that should appeal to every Cath
Ole giver.
A donation of $4,000 will naturally
not be enough to build the entire
chapel, but it will be the means of
assuring the erection of little chapel
to the honor and glory of God in this
poor and thickly populated center of
the sunny south, where the faith of
the people will soon die away if a
chapel is not built. We know there
are many who could give this amount
If they would, but the widows mite
is so often the beginning of the estab-
lishment of chapel in some neglected
corner of the Lords Vineyard that it
is not impossible that such may be
the case in this instance.
Any amount for this "Slum Chapel
will be gladly accepted by the Catholic

A CONVENT TRAINING.

Booth Harrington, the novelist
wrote to the Indianapolis Star some
"reminiscences of his mother and of the
Sisters who trained her early years
He emphasizes fact, which all have
noticed, that convent training de-
velops a charming manner, filling out
the idea of lady" in the best sense
of that abused term. He writes:
l think that my mothers days at
"Old st. Mary's" were among the hap,
piest of her life. Certainly she always
spoke of them with happiness, and the
recollection of them was bright and
vivid sixty years afterward.

they must have possessed unusual
charm as. well, to be so adored

Something rare and fine was brought
from France to st. Mary's and none of
those who were students there re-
manned unaffected by it. For lack of
better word, | must call it distinctive,
The visible effect was a manner of
simplicity and gentle dignity. The
students were we'll taught; they were
really educated; and they were also
given what we once spoke of as ''ac-
complishments' for they learned
the harp, the piano and the guitar
and acquire a fine accent in the French
language. But what best distinguished
the girls of St. Mary's was that lovely
manner they were taught there. And
they were taught it so well that it was
not a superficial veneer. Indeed, it
was rather absorbed than learned, and
was something that came from within
rather than outward. And, although
my mother spoke rarely of this, more

ing:
"The majority of the Christian In

THE work of this Church among
the Indians of the Dominion is part of
the history of Canada. The story of
the heroism of the Jesuit priests who,
at daily and hourly risk of their lives,
first brought the Gospel to the heather
tribes of North America, enduring,
many of them, tortures and even mar
tyrdom for the faith, forms one of the
noblest and most thrilling chapters of
our national history. To them belongs
the honor of being the pioneers of

of the country, and | never read the
accounts which have come down to us
of these early days without thanking
God for the splendid example of those

At further stage In his address
referring to the falling off of mission
airy effort on the part of the Anglicans
of his diocese-the Bishop says; In
Gods name, let us hold fast what we
have left! At most of the places we
