One day while in the trenches a

saying, Father, it seems that one Of

At least it is someone having your

Father Beaumont took the sheet and

REMEMBER THIS APOSTLE.

The Propagation of the Faith Soci-
ETY. receives a countless number of in
teresting letters from those whom it
assists in the outposts of the world;
the missionaries like to tell the story
of their efforts in behalf of the pagans
and how those efforts are rewarded.
Since the beginning of the European
war the communications haye been sad
indeed. Never well supplied with
means, the priests have slowly come
to condition of real want.
The mission at Bettiah, East India,
is an example of the afflicted state to
which many Christian centers have
been brought Father Felix Finck, O..
M. Cap, says of it:
'sThis place was formerly confided to
the Capuchins of the Austrian TyroI
Province. ] was given charge In 1915,
and have for helpers some Capuchin
Fathers from the north of India and

tolic Seminary at Handy. Nine Aus

lNFIDEL PRAISES LITTLE
CATECHISM.

Jouffroy, one of the representatives
of infidel philosophy, could not but
admire the Catechism. These are the
words he made use of when addressing
a numerous audience of the Sorbonne
on the resume of Christian Doctrine
contained in the Catechism:
There is little book which
children are taught and about which
they are questioned in church and in
school; read this little book, which
is the Catechism, and you will find
therein the solution of all the ques
tions that | have treated-of all, with.
out exception. Ask the Christian
whence comes the human race, he
knows; whittier it goes, he knows
Ask this little child why it is here
below, what will happen to it after
death, he will give you a truly sublime
answer, which he does not fully under
stand, but which is none the less ad
mirable.
ASK him how the world has beer
created and for what purpose; why
God has placed animals and plants
thereon; how the earth has beer
peopled, whether by one family or by
many, why people speak in divers
tongues, why they suffer, why they
struggle and how all this will end
he knows the answer. The origin Of

Ritualistic church-the majority of
our clergy would not know how to
hear confession. And then, too. our
clergy, thinking in dogma and morals
so widely apart as they do, what can
be done? The only Church in Ameri-
ca that can really do anything in the
way of controlling and shaping the
morals and the thought of its people
is your own, as the Church Times
(Anglican) said some time ago about
you: THE Roman Catholic Church
and her clergy Ito their everlasting
credit) here always ''set their faces

JUNE TO NOVEMBER IN CHINA.

From June to November" writes a
missionary from Chengtu, China, 1--WE
have the rainy season, the hardest
months for the missionary, who usu-
ally travels on horseback either, be-
cause he cannot afford to be carried
in a chair or because he does not care
for that kind of sport. From Novem-
Der to May, the sky is glorious, even
bluer than the blue sky of Southern
France, and at night the stars shine
with a marvellous brilliancy; but be-
low the picture is sadly different
The blue sky shines on many scenes
of misery and want, and on pagan
souls lost in spiritual darkness. Let
us help the poor apostle to give the
people around the light of faith that
shall make the whole year bright.

SAD FATE OF THE HEATHEN
WOMAN.

A Protestant contemporary says of
heather women that they are:
"Unwelcome at birth;
"Untaught in childhood;
"Unloved in wifehood;
''Uncherished in widowhood;
Unprotected in old age;
"Unlamented when dead
This is all quite true, but it lies
within the power of Christian women
to change the unhappy lot of their
sisters on the other side of the world.
A little education, little good coun-
sci and instruction on the part of a
faithful missionary will make new
creatures of these benighted beings
and set them in their rightful place.
Send an aims to the foreign missions
and this happy work will be under
taken in the name of the benefactor.

Itrian Sisters Of the Congregation of
the Holy Cross have been permitted by
the Government to continue their good
works. They are also assisted by a
dozen native nuns, members of the
franciscan Third Order.
Formerly, almost wholly supported
by Catholics of the Austrian Tyrol it
would be impossible to describe the
means by which we have kept the mis-
sion in existence during the past few
years. Our peculiar situation must
appeal to all who have the interest of
apostolic India at heart. / ask the

Faith to remember this mission when

doubled by the war, the Sisters are

the high price of medicines, may be
able to sympathize with the Sisters in
