ROBBED OF "A COMMUNION SET.

ROBBED OF "A COMMUNION SET.
am just now in receipt Of letter from Pas
tor Egisto Spini, Of church in Genoa telling
Of the details Of robbery in his church there
which took place about two weeks ago. The
thieves forced the door and carried off the COM
mnnon set worth seventy dollars, besides some
articles of clothing that were prepared for soldiers
and their families and worth about thirty dollars.
The police have made every effort to find them,
out without success, and have given it up. So |
venture to write and ask if this would not be a
case to present through the columns Of the Mis-
siOnary News, either for some one to replace the
set, or perhaps a church that is securing a finer
set would donate to the Genoa church it's old set
The Genoa church is, in proportion to it's mem
berShlp, one Of the most active congregations that
we have in all Italy, and has been especially fore
most IN every good work during this war period.
Pastor Spini and his congregation are the center
of activity for that part Of the city, and have
personally gathered and delivered over $4,000
worth OF supplies for those who have suffered by
the war.
Trusting that you will be able to help US in
this matter, faithfully yours,
A. W. GREENMAN, Italy
From Callao Peru, Bishop William F. Old
ham writes to say that he wants to know
whether you can send to him 5000 to deflay
the expenses of 20 Catholic boys and girls in
the primary school.
If you haven't the spare cash on your per
son, OF to your credit in bank please load your
patient, faithful mules with another mortgage,
and let the Bishop have the ducats.
He also says that he needs $3.50 for the ex-
pense of Catholic boys and girls at the High
School.
While you are at it, YOU might just as we'll
include the cows-provided they have been
dipped-and borrow the additional $3.50. The
Bishop IS urgent, and he promises that, if you
Will send that $3.50 right away, he will crafty
you by sending you picture Of those boys
and girls.
The pictures will serve you as vouchers, and
you can file them away for future reference.
AS TO OUR MISSIONARY HOSPITAL.
find the following cheerful news:
In the early days at the Alden Speare Hospital,
Yenping, China, the patients were entirely poor,
but the success of the work such that the
better class of people going to it, and private
rooms with nice furniture have become necessary
In times this patronage will render the hospital
self-suppOrting; but it must have at once
enameled beds, furniture, bed spreads, sheeting
blankets, brown denim and canton fannes, all to
cost in the aggregate, $565. Four bath tubs are
also needed, which will cost 500. Apparatus for
the operating-room, and surgical department in
Struments and eQui pment require 1898. An ice
machine which is indispensable to a well-equipped
hospital, calls for $500. The refraction outfit
purchased seventeen years ago must be replaced
by new one at a cost of $50. An Edison Disc
Photograph and, small Grafex Camera would
be much appreciated. Here is splendid oppOr-
tunity for some one with world vision to UNI
derWr1te the complete equipment, and put this
hospital where it can serve the Lord and the
Church with still greater efficiency.
How about your "World vision?"
Have you got one? If not, why not?
"World vision" is term that was invented
by DR.. Woodrow Wilson, late President of
Princeton University
