NATIVE PRIEST OF INDIA BE
COMES AN AUTHOR.

Rev. S. Prakasar, o. M. l., is mis-
sionary known to our readers. He is
a native priest of Ceylon, and has add
ed to the literature of India by a
learned work on Philosophical Saliva
ism that has won some favorable criti-
|cism from the press. 1t serves also
to show the vain pretensions of the
theosophists who now form a distinct
enemy to the spread of Christianity.
The London Tablet says:
"This book, dealing with the religion
of silva has exceptional value not only
from the careful character of it's re-
search and, on the whole, excellent
style, but from the nationality of it's
author 1t is exactly what we want:
a mind in tune by heredity and ma
tional instinct with what it examines,
yet consciously accepting the Chris
tian system, and capable Of compar-
ing the two, will produce work of far
greater value than any student alien by
birth and instinct, however deliberate
ly impartial. Theosophists would have
us hold that below the popular forms
of Eastern creeds lies a superb sub
stratum of philosophical and ethical
material. That is not so; and books
like this should be multiplied, to dis
illusionize our hoodwinked Western en-
thusiasts."

OUR SOLDIERS or THE CROSS.

War is in the air, and while mis-
|sionaries are men of peace, we are
borrowing war terms to make known
their wants. The battle they wage is
IAN old one, only the terms are new.
Men, munitions, supplies, comfort
kits and the like were never ap-
piled to their needs until the last few
years; but even Propagation of the
Faith workers have caught the spirit
of the times and adopted the mill
Ftary tone.
So, if our friends prefer to bestow
"rations" instead of food, munitions
instead of money, spiritual comfort
kits" instead of prayers, it is all the
same to the poor priest in 3the firing
line, y and may amuse the giver more.
Without any exaggerations, however,
the missionaries are now fighting for
their lives, or rather the lives of their
missions, and it depends on us stay
at-homes whether they can get "over
the top or not.

suFFERlNes AND THE APOSTLE.

E.Et
Martyrdom is the lot of the Church
throughout all the ages. 1t takes vari-
Gus forms, but there ever remains that
supreme sacrifice inspired by the char
ity of Jesus Christ. We celebrate
and with good reason-the heroism of
Christians who in past ages bore with
out f1inching superhuman tortures for
their Faith; but did those require
greater heroism than certain trials
sent by God in the present day to some
of His best-beloved?
Our missionaries are now passing
through a period of great stress
amounting almost to martyrdom, but
that supernatural strength sustains
them is shown by the courage they
display and by their trust in Divine
Providence. Then, too, an unusual
harvest of souls has been accorded
them in many districts, showing that
their past labors are bearing fruit
when least expected.

MANY ANIMALS HAVE BETTER
SHELTER.

The Reverend Mother Louise, SUI
perior-G eneral of the Belgian Mission
airy Sisters at Srivilliputtur, Trichino-
poly, writes a piteous description of
the convent there, which has, she says,
mo roof; when it rains, we do not
know where to place our beds. The
only room we have is given up for
the chapel" AS for the school
where the Sisters educate little Paria
orphans, 1T is of mud, covered with
grass, nearly ruin" But it is not
for themselves that the Sisters plead;
it is for the neglected Paria children,
who, often destitute even of rags to
cover their shivering little bodies,
have to sleep in that runious dormi-
tory which the snakes constantly in
wade, and the rains render absolutely
unfit for human habitation. One thou
sand dollars would provide the new
school the Sisters need, we hear, 'for,"
adds the Mother, as she thinks of her
little protegees, whilst animals have
splendid stables in SO many lands,
our orphans have not even a shelter!
And the nuns are not better off. Every
evening they go round their miserable
convent building looking at the cracks
in the ceiling, searching for a place
where they will not be soaked if it
rains during the night"

THE AFRICAN IN THE RELIGIOUS

In view of the fact that yocations
for a religious life are more difficult
to obtain in Africa than elsewhere,
we are always glad to chronicle such
spiritual results as are obtained by
the missionaries. A Holy Ghost Fa-
Their, Rev. j. Remy, recounts one Of
his recent experiences showing that
the French Congo is producing mate
rial for the priesthood:
I'VE must admit says the Father,
that the. work of finding candidates
for religious or ecclesiastical life
demands infinite patience, but now and
then Divine Grave operates in some
soul with marked success. Such. a
soul is possessed by young native,
who, after a serious novitiate, has now
become a lay Brother. He recently
sent me this letter, which shows his
desire for the salvation of souls:

A WONDERFUL DISCOVERY IN
JAPAN.

1t seems almost miraculous to think
that the site of the pagoda given to
St. Francis Xavier by a japanese
Prince should at last have returned to
the possession of a foreign missionary.
The apostle in question lis Father
Aimee Wilton, and he writes feelingly
of his experience:
Il came to Lamaguchi in 1889, full
of the desire to discover the site of
the pagoda given to st. Francis Xav-
Ter in July, 1851, by Prince Ouchi
Yoshitaka. I. prayed earnestly that
God would guide me SO as to find some
traces of the great apostle, and, at
last, after five years of research, I
found this field of the Daidoji.' My
faith was great, and many a dark night
came there to pray and kiss the soil
where his. feet had stood! 7, hum
Bile man, was the first to tread. that
sacred ground after three hundred
years! 1t was then that I formed the
project of buying the field, and at the
end of seventeen years was able to
accomplish my dreams.

PRAY FOR THE CONVERSION OF
CHINA.

The Holy Father is not unmindful of.
the needs of the pagan world. He, Sc
lected-for the intention of the League
of the Sacred Heart for November, the
Conversion of China.
Our Faith has been planted in that
country by heroic toll on the part of
it's apostles and p1entifully watered
with their blood. The list of priests,
brothers, and nuns, who have given
their lives to the furtherance of our.
holy religion is lengthy one. The
practice among the Chinese of killing
or abandoning helpless infants has also
been the occasion for the salvation of
countless souls. A great setback has
been given to the work of the jealous
laborers in the extensive field that has
been long since white for the harvest
by the European war. Hence, the
Holy Father sends forth an urgent APP
peal for prayers throughout the whole
world that the work of the, missions in
China may be continued and brought
to a. successful termination.

WORD ABOUT CONDITIONAL
GIFTS FOR THE S. p. r.

Perhaps not enough people know
about the possibility of helping our So
ciety by conditional gifts.
The plan is very simple. The So
ciety receives gifts, large or small,
entering into an agreement to pay the
donors of life beneficiar es, SO long as
they shall live, an amount equivalent
to a fair rate of interest. What that
amount shall be is. fixed at the outset
by mutual agreement.
The character and standing of the
Society for the Propagation of the
Faith give abundant assurance that it's
Conditional Gifts Fund will be safely
and wisely managed. The Society is
now (1917) over IS years old, and in
all its history every payment has been
promptly made and every agreement
faithfully kept References on this
point will be gladly furnished to pros
pective benefactors.
Moreover, the rates of interest
which it is possible to obtain on good
investments frequently fuctuate and
often decrease, while the rate of in
come paid by the Society will remain
the same to the end of the benefi-
ciary's life.
In fact, such investments are as
safe as Liberty Bond.

seem to have any sense of sin about
it at all. Truly, as Mr.. Gladstone

theological writer's, They do not
seem to have any sense of sin" Truly
we are growing rotten. What would
De Tocqueville say now? A clergy
man, known to me, has been actually

arrival in his parish when the good
people discovered that he had such

they can find out about the new

man with a family "disgracefully
large" will never be hired to preach
the Gospel for them. Fancy Chris
tian people talking about disgrace
fully large families" The really
great sin today among married peo-
pie is that the families are disgrace
fully small"
Oh! that we could handle these

CORPUS CHRISTI PROCESSION IN

This letter from Father Muller, G..
S. Sp. of Oguleri, Lower Niger, de-
scribes a magnificent" procession,
which took place there last Corpus
Christi The splendor of it will seem
to us to be. largely in the good will
displayed by the natives:
1--WE have just had magnificent
Corpus Christi procession, and the
respect shown by these poor people,
but yesterday pagan, was edifying.
Banners were entirely lacking, in their
places the choir children held pieces
of,wood painted in native fashion and
surnouhted by a candle. The reposi-
tory was also made of blocks of wood,
not too well joined, and covered with
piece of cloth arranged as well as
possible by our school mistress. This
worthy woman will prepare something
better next year if she can get the
material. So here is a chance for
some good soul with special devo-
ton to the Blessed Sacrament to
make us happy. However, in spite
OF poverty we thought our procession
fine affair, and it was certainly devo-
tional.'

money, do a quick job, and ask no
questions. Once this step is taken
1t is very hard to do anything to rem
edy it. In this way the Church is fast
losing ground and missionaries, no

forced to look on with sad hearts,
able to do but little because their
