NOT ASHAMED OF THEIR FAITH.

Father Paul Lii, a Lazarist, is COM
parative stranger, but as a native
apostle in Young Ping Fou, he seems
destined to make his mark. A letter
he has just sent to the S. P. F. office
is filed with cheering news:

baptizing at one of my new stations

They knew their catechism very well,
and may add that the women exceed

AFRIcA's UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE

Rev. S. A. Gogarty, Holy Ghost mis-
sionary in Africa, tells us of a
language which is rapidly spreading
through Africa, and which bids fair to
become the universal tongue. Read
ers of African tales may remember
frequent mention of Swahili Father
GOgarty says:
Among the many effects of the
war, in different parts of the world,
one is the spread of language in
East and Central Africa, already
spoken by millions over the Sub
African Continent, SO that it will soon
rank as one of the great languages
of the world. 1t will share with Eng
lish, which will dominate in the
south, with French in the northwest,
and with Arabic, which will continue
to be the language of millions in the
northwest This language is Swahili.
1t belongs to the Bantu group of
languages, which are spoken by al
most all tribes from the Equator to
the Cape
1.-THE war has caused movement
of natives in hundreds of thousands
from the interior to the coast to be
formed into Carrier Corps at Nom
hasa or Dar-es-S alaam which are in
the heart of the Swahili country
When journeying, each carrying his
load of forty pounds on his head, they
have no other means of communicate
ing with the natives in the war area
but Swahili and SO are strongly
tempted to learn it. The task is easy,
for many words are the same and
many come from the same roots

JESUIT MISSIONS.

When the Society of Jesus was re-
established after its suppression, it re-
newed at once it's old apostolic zeal,
again taking up the foreign missions.
For hardly had the Order struck root
in Europe this second time, when its
members began anew to penetrate in

expeditions: In 1881 the Society sent

MISSION NOTES.

Rev. E. Gerard, B. F. NJ, recon-
mends to our prayers two recent
foundations made in the district of
Changehun, Manchuria. The difficult
ties of the country are great under
the best conditions, but now it is
almost impossible to get the necessi-
ties of life. Yet new Christians are
continually coming into the fold, and
they must be sheltered if the shep-
herd would not see them fall prey
to the wolves of paganism

Sixteen little abandoned babies have
just been adopted in the Canton mis-

teen nice Christian names, beginning
with Mary and Joseph, ending with
Aloysius and Gertrude, and including

the names of our great saints will

Rev. r. Verhaeghe, a Belgian mis-
sionary connected with the Shanghai
missions, considers the situation very
critical in some of the stations. The
war is lasting a long time. The end
seems not yet in sight. Straining
every nerve, the priests still left at
their posts hope against hope that
affairs may be tided over until better
days dawn. In the meantime they

More Stock For
Airplanes Needed

Col. Brice P. Disque of the Spruce
Production Division Aviation Section
Signal Corps of Portland issues the
following bulletin:
To All Loggers, Employers and EN-
ployes:
i. The government is not getting
so per cent of the airplane stock re-
quired. It is understood the clim-
attic conditions will naturally curtail
production during December and
January.
2. Knowing the situation here and
having in mind the critical condition
Of our war program for 1918, in so
far as it relates to aircraft, l feel
justified in asking all logging camps
to continue operations through the
holiday period, closing down only De-

8. There are some 10000 loggers
at work in Washington and Oregon,
and every day is vital to our mutual
national welfare at this time.

Classifying Men to
Begin Dec. Is

The work of classifying the men
registered under the war census will
commence December Is, 1917. This
work will be done by the local board
for Jackson county, consisting of
Sheriff Jennings, County Clerk Gard
ner and County Physician Malmgren.
The sheriff's office is in receipt of
the following request from the War
Department:
"It is desired that you cause the
broadest and most extensive and con-
tinuous possible publicity to be given
through your newspapers, and by all
other possible means Of learning, to
all registrants who may have changed
their places of abode and address, to
communicate Immediately with their
local board and to furnish their pres
ent addresses so that the question
naire will reach such registrants
without delay Registrants are bound
by law to keep themselves advised of
all proceedings in respect of them
and failure to do so may result in
their losing right to claim exemption
or discharge"
Failure to receive questionable
does not excuse registrant from an
swering within the allotted time, and
as this time is very short, the sheriff
requests that all registrants who have
changed their address since June a,
1917, notify the office at once in
order that they may protect them
selves from immediate draft.

Vision Of War

George Allen of Granite street sub
mitted the following article to the

Washington had a vision Of the great
European war, as involving America
but leaving her victorious. This story
is said to have been told by Anton
Sherman, a nonagenarian, who had
received the facts from Washington s
