BUY DRUGS FOR AFRICAN
SUFFERERS.

Although not so much is said about
the sleeping sickness as formerly
that scourge still exists in Africa
FIR. Nolan, missionary of the Pre-
monstratension Order, says there is
plenty of it in his mission of Moenge
Belgian Congo. He speaks of the
hard times and adds:
Besides our missionary work, we
are taking care of poor natives
afflicted with sleeping sickness. The
whole country around here is in
fected with this terrible disease, and
before our coming nothing was done
for the victims. Two of our Fathers
have specialized at Brussels at the
hospital school of medicine for this
disease, and have done good work
They have examined S,916 natives, oil
which 997 were found infected, and
have treated during the three years
over 900 cases.
but the great result was that
they have been able to administer
baptism to 287 natives in extremis
who otherwise would never have

NUN FINDS HERSELF IN STRAITS

In Busoga, B. E. Africa, there is a
community of Franciscan nuns that
try to improve the condition of the
women and children around them as
much as lies within their power.
The best way to do this is by found
ing a good school.
Mother M. Capistran aims at
establishing this school and has
toward that end the sum of twenty
five dollars. Now even in Africa
twenty-five dollars will not erect a
school building, so she writes to us:
Our convent was opened a few
months before the war, and unfortu-
nately we have been terribly ham,
pered in our work for lack Of funds.
We need a school badly, as the chill
dren are very numerous, and it is
in them we place the future of a good
Christian community. If you can
help us TO find few benefactors
cannot tell you how much it would
mean to us. At present we have
only $25 towards the necessary
amount. Anyone subscribing to the
school will share in the children's
daily prayers"

CHINESE CHILDREN OF MARY.

Tientsin possesses a fourishing
band of the Children of Mary, which
was inaugurated by Sister Gabriel
Devane, an Irish Sister of Charity, of
the General Hospital.
The Sodality was established only
nine years ago, but during that period
fifty members have been enrolled and
six have consecrated themselves to
God. The girls assemble every third
Sunday, with one of the Sisters in
charge, in the chapel for an instruction
from one of the Lazarist Fathers, and
the first Sunday of each month they
make retreat. These meetings are
held in the hospital laundry, and a
little shrine is erected to our Lady,
none the less devotional for it's work-a-
day surroundings, since an oratory is
at present a remote luxury for these
Chinese Children of Mary.
The Office of our Lady is then re-
cited in Chinese, and afterwards the
Sister says a few words of counsel
to these Children of our Lady in the
Far East.

Bishop Seguin, p. F. NJ, of Kouy
tcheou, China, says that if he is to
insure the future of his mission he
must strain every effort to prepare a
native clergy now This is the view
taken by all bishops of the mission
districts. Without these aids it is not
too much to say that many mission
posts will have to be deserted. Needs
are pressing for the material things OF
life, such as food, clothing and medi-
cines, but among the spiritual necessi-
ties stands foremost the call for native
apostles. A few hundred dollars will
secure the education of a young man
of whose fitness for his high office
there will be no doubt, for China has
already produced rich harvest of
worthy missionaries.

SEND cATECHISTS INTO THE
FIELD.

The season of illness in the mission
of Wei-hsien, Shantung, means a har-
vest of souls for the priest. Father
Iren6e Frederic, o. F. NJ, baptized
no less than five hundred infants this
autumn, many of whom passed to
Paradise almost Immediately.
But his baptisms were not all OF
this class. The Faith was planted
in a dozen villages, and many natives
we're washed with the regenerating
waters. The next thing necessary is
to send catechists to these people and
have them instructed While their
ardor is at its height. Just here comes
the rub. There is no money in this
poor missionary's purse, and he also
extends his hand for aims. The
catechists, besides teaching catechism
are able to give intelligent care to the
sick and perform many good offices
Every corner Of the mission world
needs large number Of catechists.

MAcAULAY ON THE CHURCH.

There is not, and there never was
on this earth, a work of human pohcy
SO well deserving OF examination as
the Roman Catholic Church. The ms
tory of that Church joins together the
two great ages of human civilization.
No other institution is left standing
which carries the mind back 10 the
times when the smoke of sacrlilce rose
from the Pantheon, and when camelo-
nards and tigers bounded in the tlaV-
ian amphitheatre. The proudest royal
houses are but of yesterday when COM
pared with the line of the supreme
Pontiffs. That line we trace BACK IN
an unbroken series from the Pope VINO
crowned Napoleon in the nineteenth
century. to the Pope who crowned
Pepin in the eighth; and far beyond
the time of Pepin the august dynasty
extends till it is lost in the twilight OF
fable. The Republic of Venice came
next in antiquity. But the RepqDllc OF
Venice was modern when compared TO
the Papacy; and the Republic OF Ven
ice is gone, and the Papacy remains
The Papacy remains, not in decay, not
a mere antique, but full of life and
youthful vigor. The Catholic Church
is still sending forth to the farthest
end of the world missionaries as zeal
Ous as those who landed in Kent with
Augustine, and still confronting hos
tile kings with the same spirit with

which she confronted ,Attila. The
number of her children is greater than
in any former age.
"Her acquisitions in the New World
have more than compensated for what
she has lost in the Old. Her spiritual
ascendancy extends over the vast
countries which lie between the plains
Of Missouri and Cape Horn, countries
which, century hence, may not I'M
probably contain population as large
as that which now inhabits Europe.
The members of her communion are
certainly not fewer than a hundred
and fifty millions; and it will be diff
cult to show that all other Christian
sects united amounted to a hundred
and twenty millions. Nor do we see
any sign which indicates that the term
of her long dominion is approaching.
She saw the commencement OF all the
governments and of all the eccleslaS-
teal establishments that now exist in
the world: and we feel no assurance
that she is not destined to see the end
of them all. She was great and re-
spected before the Saxon had set foot
on Britain, before the Frank had pass
ed the Rhine, when Grecian eloquence
still f1ourished at Antioch, when idols
were still worshipped in the temple OF
Mecca. And she may still exist in IN
diminished vigor when some traveller
from New Zealand shall, in the midst
of vast solitude, take his stand on
broken arch of London Bridge to
sketch the ruins Of st. Paurs.

OUR MESSENGERS OF LIGHT.

Very Rev. G. Daems, Project Apostle
lie of S. Kam-see, says that the little
postcards coming from New York,
bearing the announcement that an
offering is on the way are like messen-
gers of light. 1t has been necessary
to place much confidence in Divine
Providence of late, but the aims sent
by Americans help to sustain this
faith.
It is truly little less than miraculous
that some missions have been able to
sustain their works during the past
two or three years, but the miracle
has been performed. FIR. Daems says
that many posts in his district resem-
BILE the stable at Bethlehem, but that
after all it was from stable Our
Divine Saviour went forth to regener-
ate the world, so there is no need of
being unduly cast down by proverty.

ANOTHER GOOD WORD FOR
NATIVE PRIESTS.

India as we'll as China is able to
prepare young men for the priesthood
and they amply repay the time and
money expended on their education.
One to testify to their value is the
Right Rev. Paul Perrin, S. j., Bishop
of Mangalore, who writes: ~
"The six natlve priests educated in
my local seminary and ordained last
September, have taken up work in
various stations and show great zeal
and ability. Thus the many sacrifices
| had to make to maintain them DUR
ing their nine years of seminary life
are fully recompensed by the excellent
work these young missionaries are
doing. If I had money to maintain a
larger number of students in the
seminary, this mission would soon
make much greater progress"

MISSIONARIES BELIEVE IN AID
VERTISING.

Father Felix Van de Polmsc, an
apostle of Surigao, P. l., says very
truly that a missionary is not unlike
a merchant. He must keep advertis-
ing all the time, or the public will for
get him. Even in hard times an ad-
vertisement brings returns; and, con-
sidering the good accomplished by
money spent in the foreign missions,
the poor priests may be excused for
trying to arouse interest in them
selves. Their wares are human souls;
these can be rescued from the Evil
One by a moderate expenditure of
money. Therefore, the apostles send
letters broadcast describing their
people and their country, hoping the
rich will be tempted to make an in
vestment that is warranted to pay in
terest.

husband and wife in a state of the

Wendes' father had died suddenly
and not having had time to make q

vast estates, it devolved on Henry, the
eldest son, to succeed his father. Fol
this reason his mother implored hin
to return to Germany as soon as pos

the cablegram in his hand, unable tt

LET THE WOMEN GET TOGETHER.

Rev. FIR. Vielle, of the Franciscan
mission of Tsingchowfu, Shantung,
would like to receive a sponsor for
the dispensary for women he is anX-
ious to open. Scarcely anything
could do more good to the poor
Chinese mothers than this sort of
help. There they could bring their
sick babies and receive for the little
ones the need they often stand badly
in need of. When in danger of
death these infants could also be bap-
tized and sent to heaven instead of
dying pagans.
The small capital of $50 dollars
will establish and fit up dispensary,
which will be placed in charge Of a
native female catechist. This char
ity should appeal to some of the
women friends of the mission, who
by combining their offerings would
make the good work possible.

a CHINESE JESUIT NEEDS AN
ORPHAN ASYLUM.

Father Jung is a Chinese Jesuit who
has the cause of the mission at
Kaichow-Chi very much at heart. One
of its needs is an orphan asylum,
where the good Sisters may gather in
the little waits cast by the roadsides
and bring them up to be useful women.
A suitable asylum can be built in that
place for three hundred dollars. OF
this sum one hundred and fifty dol
lars has been collected. Considering
how little this is, compared with the
cost of our own institutions of the
same kind, it seems a pity that the
amount cannot be raised. A few dol
lars from some of our faithful friends
will mean that another company OF
orphans has found food and shelter.

LIFT YOUR C0RNS

How to loosen q tender corn

Let folks step on your feet hereafter;

for corns will never again send electric
sparks of pain through you, according
to this Cincinnati authority.
He says that few drops of drug
called freezone, applied directly upon
a tender, aching corn, instantly re-
lieves soreness, and soon the entire
corn, root and all, lifts right out.
This drug dries at once and simply
shrivels up the corn or callus without
even irritating the surrounding skin.
A small bottle of freezone obtained
at any drug store will cost very little
but will positively remove every hard
or soft corn or callus from ones feet.
II your druggist hasn't stocked this
new drug yet, tell him to get small
bottle of freezone for you from his
