HE NEVER HAD ANY COMFORT.

This communication should rouse
our compassion. 1t comes from Fa-
Their A. Desmarais. o. M. l., whose
address is st. Gabriel's Church,
Athabasca Landing, Alberta:
ALLOW me TO say few words
about my poor missions. AS mission
airy my duty is to be on the move
in order to keep my scattered flock in
touch with religion. In spite of my
sixty-four years, am still on the bat
tle-feld. I am alone in this part. /
have to go one hundred miles for my
Confession. / never had any comfort,
and / hope for none except from above.
/ wish to work for many years, and
to do as much good as possible for
the Church and the souls.
Last Sunday said Mass in new
church fifteen miles east of here.
Eighty persons attended Mass. Tween.
ty-five received Holy Communion.
Next week will say Mass in a school.
house sixteen miles west of here. ]
expect about the same number to at.
tend. AS all these people are in the
state of uneasiness, I receive nothing
from them. depend for my living
on Mass intentions.

PLANS FOR THE FUTURE.

Siam is not falling behind in the
general movement toward better
things. One of the surest evidences
of this is the fact that in Bangkok, a
city of 100000 inhabitants, the Bishop,
Mgr. Rene Perros, P. F. M, has es-
tablished a college which boasts OF
1,050 students. A fourth of these
young men are already Christians,
and the remainder, even when not
converted, undergo a change of men
tality that predisposes them to the
Catholic faith. Once, finished with
their schooling and become their own
masters, they may lean even more
strongly to new and better ideas.
North of Bangkok is another large
city, called Xiengmai. Formerly it
took several to reach this centre by
slow methods of travel, but rail
road will soon connect the two places,
and here again will be chance for sue
cessful missionary endeavor. A lit
tie chapel and some schools will be
succeeded by more advanced educa-
tional institutions, if all goes we'll
after the war.

POOR AND SICK, HE ASKS FOR
HELP.

We like to further the cause of the
catechists, as they mean so much to
the overworked apostle.
"Some time ago I pleaded for a lit.
tie money to pay my twelve cate
chists,' writes Father Brambilla, OF
North Honan, China, "but I received
no response. AS a result have had
to send the twelve back to their
homes, and now the Canadian Pres
byterian missionaries are sending
their native teachers to the villages
that my catechists have left, and are
doing their best to undo the work
have been building up here for years
If they win out, then it practically
means the destruction of the mission
of this district.
Il am in poor health and | am SO
discouraged that l don't know what to
do. 1t takes only twenty dollars to
support one of these catechists for a
whole year.. and they would gladly
come back and take up the work
again if could promise them this
small amount. In my distress appeal
to twelve good friends of the missions
who really are sincere in their desire
to. do something to help the spread
of the Faith. If / could recall these
twelve good helpers of mine, it would
be the very best tonic know of to
bring back my health"

THE JOY OF THE APOSTLE.

The missionary has plenty of in
spiration for his work, difficult as it
is. Father Owen Morris, of Uganda,
Africa, says: 8
ITO have persevered, with the aid
of Gods grace, to the priesthood, and
to be actually at work in the harvest
field of Christ; to go in, morning after
morning, to your matched Catechu-
menate and look at the little crowd OF
black faces as they stare at you,
whilst you tell them of the One Only
God, Who created them, Who knows
and loves each one of them, and of
Christ, Who died for them, of His
Blessed Mother, who cares for them
all this is a truly wonderful expert
ence. 1t lifts you up and 'renews your
youth, like the eagle You breathe,
as it were, a sort of apostolic atmos-
phere, and you would not exchange
your simple life and obscure lot for
the gilded throne of any earthly
potentate."

really there was plenty Of room for
improvements for Protestants have
not regarded the Holy See SO harshly
as have the Greek Orthodox Chris
tians and other bodies of a SINH
lar kind.
1t would be too much to expect to
see any marked return until the end
of the World War, but we cannot put
any limit to the hopes of a, better
understanding between the west and
the east, owing to the recent changes
in Russia. For just as individual
Protestants usually recognize in the
priest much more than they discern
in their own minister, SO are whole
Churches whether schismatic or
heretical, opening their eyes to the
fact that, when all is said and done
the world hearkens only to the
Church which Christ founded on ST.
Peter.

AFRICAN LEGENDS ABOUT.
BIRDS.

The natives of Uganda love legend
airy lore, and birds especially offer
rich material for stories and super
stitious belief. They are mostly con-
sidered unlucky, and if certain birds
enter the hut, its occupants do not
hesitate to burn it down, in order to
be rid of misfortune.
The crane has this legend:
Formerly, it was young betrothed
girl; one day her appetite overcame
her Ga real daughter of Eve); she sue
cumbed, and ate "some currants from
the Cape" Such crime deserved
chastisement. For her punishment she
was changed into the magnificent,
long-legged wading bird which now
struts in the potato fields, and whose
brilliant plumage makes a gorgeous
decoration for the European ladies'
hats.
An African bird resembling drake,
furnishes story for the credulous:
There was once husband and wife
with many children. Famine, with all
its suffering, knocked at their door.
One day the wife was preparing some
food when her husband come in and
demanded it. The wife refused. 1--WE
are grown" she said; '1et the chill
dren eat first. !"
But a hungry man will not listen to
reason; this one ate, and was at once
changed into a large, black bird.
ThinIY IF tho orrtaf ~ %Lo 49,.
She tried to break the enchantment by
saying: Come, eat!" But fate pre-
vented, and her husband answered, in
nasal voice like that of the drake:
mo. feed the children
There is also the crow with the
white collar. 1t was formerly val
liant soldier who was never coward
in time of war, but unfortunately he
was also an arrant braggart. One day,
after rubbing white earth on his neck
and SCOT on. the rest of his body, he
armed himself with two lances to
light sham battles, and in this way
prove his fidelity to the king. Like a
real matador, he wished to go before
the king, in spite of the friends who
tried to dissuade him:
'kabaka is angry" they told him;
do not co.
But this Muganda was stubborn,
and presented himself at court. The
king, furious at such a prank on the
part OF simple soldier, had both his
legs cut off, Our man became crow
with white collar, and this is the
reason why the Uganda crow has short
feet In becoming crow, this warrior
has lost nothing Of his braggadocio;
no bird does more chatting.

A REPRODUCTION or THE
scRIBEs AND PHARIsEEs.

There seems to be cause for re,
joicing in the Chaoyang Khowkhor
mission, China, and it's good shepherd
Father l.. Werner, writes that he nev.
er had so many catechumens as now
Eight villages have expressed a desire
to know the true religion. In one vii
lage of seventy-five families, and an
other of forty-two families, a grand
housekeeping took place, and idols
images. papers printed with super
stitious emblems were cast out and
burned. 1t will take little time to
fill these people with truly Christian
spirit, but the prospects are of the
brightest.
The scholars, or intellectuals, are
still hard to reach. Pulled UP with
pride they see no beauty in the Cath
Ollie Faith. They are the pest of China,
and correspond to the Scribes and
Pharisees of the Bible. 1t is the poor,
simple Chinese who open their hearts
to conversion.

THE CHURCH AND THE ORIENT

When o1e considers the Importance
of the fact that the Holy Father him
self is to be Project of the Sacred
Congregation for Oriental Rites, the
new congregation which His Holiness
has just created, we can have no
doubt the next few years will see a
reconciliation Of the Eastern churches
with the Catholic Church. Though the
new congregation will have TO deal
with only the. Orientals who are in
union with Rome, still its very exist
ence will be an inducement to the
schismatic branches to avail of the
desire which the Holy See has always
manifested to see them back to the
one true fold. Mems outlook on
things religious has undergone a big
change these three years of the
European War That bitterness with
which the schismatic regarded the
Roman Pontiffs has melIoWed, and

THE GREAT MISSISSIPPI RivEF
ORIGINALLY DEDICATED TO
THE IMMACULATE
CONCEPTION.

Among the immortal names in the
early history of our country, that of
Father James Marquette, S. j., the
illustrious Indian missionary and the
discoverer of the Mississippi River,
holds an enviable prominence. Mar
quette was but seventeen years old
when he entered the Society of Jesus.
Here he chose as his special model
the great Jesuit missionary, st. Fran
els Xavier, and, like him, he longed
to spend his life for the conversion
of the heather in far-away countries.
In 1866, Marquette was sent by his
superiors to Canada, where he landed
at Quebec, on September 20 of the
same year.
On May IL, 1873, Father Marquette
and five companions set out in two
canoes in quest of the Mississippi. 1t
was at this time that Father Mar
quette began special devotion in
honor of the Immaculate Conception
of the Blessed Virgin, which he OBJ
served daily during the rest of the
voyage. Gliding swiftly down the Wis
consin River, the exploring party final
" reached the Mississippi, which we
safely entered" writes Marquette,
ION June 17,swith a joy that cannot
express" In thanksgiving for the evi-
dent protection and guidance of his
heavenly Mother Mary, he called it
the river of the Immaculate Concep-
ton.

lNDlA's oBERAMME RGAU.

During Holy Week the Passion
Play" is staged in many parts Of
Southern India, even in mere villages
which thus become centers of interest
and people throng from the neighbor
hood, even from afar. But now, the
last two years, Tanjore has grown
memorable, simply for it's Passion
Play" This year it attained a high
water mark in it's annals.
The Passion Play" was staged in
that city on Good Friday before an
audience of ten thousand people with
great success-so much so that Tan.
jore would seem striving to become
the Oberammergau of Southern India
What most appealed to the people
was the acting. 1t was realistic, and
moved the audience to great religious
feeling. ~.

Turning to the other good things
of Catholicism" Mr.. Cressey- said
that Catholicism was well known for
her benevolence. A founding babe
can scarcely utter its first cry before
a kind Sisters arm is around it.
Catholic charity embraces all, with
out regard to faith or nationality.
Catholicism respects the words of
Him Who said,, What man hath
joined together let no man put asun-
DER. and, more than that, she means
the same by them that He did, and
(let not the comparison be odious) is
she not better than Professionals in
this respect? AS citizens of the
United States we must view with
alarm the great evil of Mormonism,
but the divorce law is in effect the
same thing as it practically leads to
successive polygamy. How can we
call ourselves a Christian people
when we violate fundamental law OF
Christianity? The determined stand
of Catholicism against divorce must
yet be adopted by Professionalism.
On the public school question Mr..
Cressey said that Catholicism Is
right when she says that the educa-
ton of the mind and heart cannot be
separated. We all agree that to edu-
cate the mind and not the heart is to
make the rascal. 81 recognize a just
ness as well as correctness in Cathol-
icisms fundamental thought that
religion is an integral part of edu-
cation"
! In conclusion he said, "Why have
led your thoughts in this direction?
am not going to announce to you
that I am about to enter the Catholic
Church. l am not seeking an office
to which Catholic votes can elect me.
am not seeking tonight to win Cath
olics to the Protestant faith, nor to
suggest to Protestants that their hope
of heaven will be better if they en-
brace Catholicism. / would not cast
on any one of any Christion faith a
single reflection; this is Gods house
and hour.
II am painfully reminded of two
things: That much religious preju-
dice exists among Gods people in our
city, and that the enemies of His dear
Son are an insolent host. Many
members of each communion stand
over against each other and say with
unaffected vigor: Can any good
come out of such Nazareth To all
such l would repeat, Come and see.' !"

A GOOD PRoTEcTREss.


The Almanac of the Franciscan
Missions contains this account of the
Intervention of the Blessed Virgin in
behalf of one of her daughters:
"A young franciscan Missionary OF
Mary, who had recently arrived in In
dia and was still under the spell OF
its star,lit nights, was saying ne1
rosary one evening in the convent
garden shortly after sunset. She was
tired after her days work in the
sitting atmosphere of the Indian plain
and both body and soul were resting
as she sent up to the Queen of Heaven
the old, yet ever, new. salutation
Ave Maia, Ave Maria!'
HShe had been gazing at the sky
and when, by chance. she lowered her
eyes. she saw an enormous serpent

The captain gave word of com.
mand and some of the soldiers armed
with axes attacked the door. 1t was
made of heavy oak, but the axes made
short work of it. When the doors
were battered down the captain step
ped inside. Permit me, Monsieur,
he said politely to the Superior, taking
him by the arm.
The Superior, thus escorted, passed
over the ruins of the door into the
street. One by one the religious were
thus escorted from the monastery
The people began to boot and hiss at
the soldiers as they saw the monks
elected, but the Superior held up his
hand authoritatively and the clamor
ceased.
Let us pray" he said The people
and the monks knelt while the Su.
perior recited the Rosary, the people
answering. Some of them were sob.
bling and crying and the farewell that
followed was touching. The captain
and his soldiers escorted the monks
to the railroad station and again the
captain politely excused himself.
The whole thing, he said, had been
painful to him, ibut what could he do?
\ The Superior answered that he I'M
derstood. He bore no grudge against
the captain or against France. In
fact, he promised he would pray for
both, for which the captain again po-
litely thanked him, though he shrugged
his shoulders as if he did not feel
that he needed prayers. When the
Paris-Rome express arrived, for the
monks were going into exile in Italy,
the captain saw to it that all were
placed safely aboard and then, hearth
ly glad his disagreeable task was over,
he said with just the faintest shade
of irony:
Goodbye, Fathers
I'VE shall be back smiled the Su-
periof, detecting the ironic tone.
None of us, perhaps, but the French
Carthusians will return. France
needs. us and France will some day
call us. We are Frenchmen, and when
we hear the. call we shall return"
The men of the Seyenty-frst regi-
men thought they had been forgot
ton, left to die; that is, those of them
who were still alive. They had been
isolated from the main line for three
days and the. Germans closing in about
Verdun were pressing them hard.
After they had taken their position
in the front trench their communicate
ing lines had been destroyed by the
terrific bombardment of enemy artil-
lery. Further and further the main
body Of the French had been swept
back. by the devastating fire OF the
Germans and one by one the trenches
had been destroyed and abandoned,

tween the isolated Seventy-first and

stoppage Of aims from Belgium has
created situation that most men
would have qualified as hopeless. That
the Belgian Jesuit missionaries could
still stick to their guns, is owing to the
splendid lead given them by their gal
liant superior.

Mary the mother glad
Who lived in the Nazareth cottage
When Christ was little lad.
| think of her in the morning
AS she put on His little, frock,
And brushed the curls from His fore
head
Smoothing each shining lock,
And heard Him speak with reverence
A little sunrise prayer,
With a look of child-like wonder
Upon His face so fair.
When Joseph had gone to the work,

The cottage made trim and neat,
And Jesus played with the children
Who lived across the street,

Was the echo of His voice,
Which sent His pulses thrilling
And made her heart rejoice.
And when He brought His bruises
For her to touch and kiss,
And she smiled away His troubles
With all a mothers bliss,
think that over her spirit
Stole a promise of endless rest,
AS she ''magnified the Father
Who had given her His best.
Then, when the shadows deepened e
And the Child now tired of play
Rested His head on her bosom
At the close of weary day,
AS she taught Him d psalm of praises,
And unused on prophecies dear,

Fell on her listening ear.

CATERPlLLARS CAUSE RASH
Several Cases Of Blood Poisoning Re. ported at Emergency Hospital of
 Salt Lake City.

No less than four a.ases of blood poi soning and body rash caused by virulent variety of caterpillar have been reported to the emergency hos pital. says the Salt Lake Tribune. Mrs. Dean R. naynes of S76 South West Temple street. appealed to the city officials for advice in regard to a rash that had broken out on her hnby's back. Mrs. Daynes snid she had found an ordinary looSing yellow caterpillar in her baby's clothing and discovered the rash later. She was advised to call in a physician iJnmcdiaIely.
 "Caterpillars are the larvae of lppidOpterOus insect, not necessarily a butterfly. in the first stage of meta mOrphosis," according to Webster. The larvae of such insects as the geom- etrid moth or the hawk moth are smooth and ar. not poisonous. The large yellow haired ones have pencil of hairs that look like horns and a fasicule of hnirs that resembles a tall. It is the sting from these hairs that pOisons, as 1t Is almost impossible for the insect to bite.
 No case of . caterpillar sting has proved fatal. so far as the officials of the Salt Lake hospitals know. Mothers were advised to keep their very young children off lawns and from beneath trees, unless some one was in attend ance to watch them.
 George Williams, thirty-eight years old, of 537 South West Temple. also of Salt Lake. was bitten on the thigh by a caterpillar while in bed. Within an hour the poison had spread through his entire system and rash had broken out on his arms and back. He was treated at the emergency hos pital, bringing the caterpillar with him.
