it is felt that the Withholding from

REvIvINe ANCIENT ERROR.

The Hindus have not by any means
relinquished hold on their ancient
religion. Writing to the S. p. F. on
this subject, Bishop Chapuis of Kun
bakonam, says that they have recent
ly founded university in the holy
city of Benares, on the Gauges river,
which is to be modelled on similar
institutions of the Christian religion
The religious books of India, called
Vedas, were written in Sanscrit.
There were a few translations made
into other tongues spoken in India,
but except for a small number of
orthodox Brahmins, most Hindus had
only a slight knowledge of what the
books contained.
The new college, beside courses in
the profane subjects, will have a spe-
cial faculty to instruct students in the
study of. the ancient Vedas Gradu-
ates will receive their degrees of
Doctor" bachelor" etc, and all will
be quite up-to-date. A point in dis
cussion is whether the young men be,
longing to the class in divinity must
be kept under the restriction of Cath
Ole seminarians, or whether they will
be allowed some Oriental freedom
There is not much doubt that most OF
the students of this curious theology
would soon give UP their career If they
were required to follow the rule OF
Catholic SeminarianS.

DROWNING OF A YOUNG INDIAN
SEMINARIAN.


Rangoon, British India, is having
gratifying success in preparing ma
tive clergy. Father A. Sellos, P. F.
NJ, says that five sen1inarians will
soon be ready and six lay brothers will
at the same time give their services
to the missionaries.
A sad accident has just occurred
among these seminarians. The eldest
among them has just been drowned
while bathing The loss was a heavy
one to the priests who are counting
on these helpers, but soon after his
death two more applicants presented
themselves, and it seems as if they
came as a direct consolation from
Heaven.
1t is no easy thing for Tamil youths
to leave their homes and choose the
priestly life. The parents, losing
their help, are much against such g
move. The fact that they persevere
shows ahat their vocation is true
one. ~

ton beneath it's roof I am asking
those who so generously aided Father
Bertrand to continue their aims.
'Of the fifty-nine patients now in
the hospital, forty-four are Chris
tians, and the rest are being prepared
for baptism. Leprosy still remains a
practically incurable disease, but by
using strong injections of chattanooga
oil the malady is often greatly re-
lieved and even arrested. In fact it
has worked wonders in one or two
cases.
But in most instances we can only
make earthly existence of these suf-
ferers as comfortable as possible, and
it is marvellous to see the consola-
ton, the patience and resignation
they gain from the practice of our
holy religion. Often after receiving
the sacraments their poor disfgured
faces become radiant with super
natural joy; their misery is forgotten.
Our hospital, wooden structure,
leaks badly and every rain causes
great discomfort. The cost of living
weighs on us excessively. Rice is
becoming almost beyond our reach,

mot wholly forsake the poor lepers of

SUCH FRUITS COULD GROW ONLY
ON A GOOD TREE.

Marquette and his compeers tray
elled on snow-shoes when they did
not go barefoot; they lived on moss
when they could not luxuriously feast
upon pounded maize; they lived in
bark huts when fortuntte enough to
sleep indoors; and they died of labor
and exposure when they were not
murdered by the Indians. Their mis-
sions, therefore, existed without great
revenues, and the most they asked of
their friends at home was prayers for
the souls they had come to save.
''Nor let us fail to conceive the
phenomenal nobleness of these
Frenchmen because they were heroes
and martyrs in the name of a Church
that may not be ours and which ex-
presses itself in ways that we may
not prefer. Whosesoever Church it is
and whosesoever it is not, it is at least
great Church beyond compare; and
it has in its history splendid epochs,
when it commanded greater self
sacrifice and higher endeavor than
lids OlhCl WISE huO8 IL
since it's first lofty days. One such
epoch, raised distinctly above the level
of the centuries, was the epoch of the
French Jesuits in North America.
They were the elect of a society which
had first claim upon the most fervent
souls. The records of humanity will
be sought in vain for the story of
purer lives, of more steadfast apostle
ship, or Of sterner martyrdoms.
Jogues, Bressani, Daniel, Brebeuf,
Lalemant, GARNER, Marquette, living
and dying, illustrated the Hottest vir-
tue in the world. No praise is too
extravaganza, no language is. too
sacred to apply to them. They were
glorious company of apostles they
were a noble army Of martyrs.

OUR LORD APPEARS ON AN
ALTAR OF MUD.

We are accustomed to tales Of
pathetic poverty. from our mission
aries. Chapels made of a few BAN
boo sticks, matched with straw OF
leaves, no longer arouse our conster
nation, for we are used to hearing oil
such things.
Here, however, is the story of how
a bishop celebrated Mass at an altar
Of mud. Father Hallam, Franciscan
missionary of Wei-hai--wei, China
says: -
Our Bishop recently made a Con.
firmation tour. on which l accompa-
MED him. We passed the first night
at one of the smallest missions, in a
tiny house which serves both as a
dwelling and a chapel. His Lordship
said Mass the next morning on a little
altar made of mud and covered with
paper decorations, the work of one of
the native nuns and some of her chill
dren. They were overjoyed when they
saw the Bishop celebrating the Holy
Sacrifice Oh their humble altar.
In order to make room for the
people, who fiocked to the little chapel
in great numbers, his Lordship's bed
and bedding, table and chair had to
be put out in the yard, and even then
the people were crowded up to the
very altar, SO that the Bishop found
difficulty in turning around.
Small beginnings such as this re.
call Bethlehem and Nazareth, and are
especially dear to the heart of our
good Bishop"

A LONG TOUR.

Bishop Roy, P. F. NJ, who admin
listers the big diocese of Coimbatore,
India, has just finished pastoral
tour. of nobody knows how many
miles. Priests being so few, now, he
could not spare one to accompany
him on the journey and so made it
alone. He tramped through the jun
gle and slept in the poor chapels or
other shelters that offered. What
must have been the heat, the fatigue,
the discomfort Of that trip, but he
saw all the Christians This is the
spur that urges on the missionary
bishops, whether they be near the
Arctic Circle or the Equator-to
watch over their widely scattered
children and keep them safely within
the fold.

A TOUCHING suPPLIcATIoN FROM
THE ANTIPoDES.

Here is letter, written to The
Propagation of the Faith by little
native of the Solomon Islands. In
simple, yet touching words, he tells
how his people are learning to love
the priests and how dear the new re-
ligion has become to the boys and
girls:
Please, dear friends, pray much
for our Bishop, for the Fathers, the
Brothers, the Sisters, and for us
Blacks of the Solomon Islands, and
we in turn will pray for you.
1T is sad to think that our climate
is bad for Europeans and that many
missionaries die. Often there is no
one to replace them, and so many
villages that would like to become
Christian, remain pagan because they
have no one to instruct them.
Formerly we thought the missionaries
were like other white men and came
here only to seek riches. Now we
call them the White men of religion,
and know they wish to save our souls.
'The old men used to tell us that to
learn this religion would make us die,
but we did not listen to them. We
children we're the first to be convert
ed, and long time after the old peo-
pie joined us, and now they no longer
have any fear of our Faith.
There is one other thing must
speak about: please help our Father to
buy the rice and other things he needs
for his mission, and if you love your
father, mother, sisters and brothers,
pray that our Father may retain his
health and may be left to us for a
long time.

called-Romulo Noni."

change to the better as soon as an
older child becomes able to mind
smaller brothers and sisters. You
will usually find that mothers of large
families do more work, even with
several little tots at their side, than
do mothers of one single and usually
spoiled child. 1t is true, of course,
that mothers work increases with
each additional child, but diligent
and prudent mother can manage her
work in such way that her daily
work is done and done well.
Sensible mothers will remember that
the old saying of all work and no
play will make of Jack .sdull boy
must be supplemented by the truism,
AL play and no work will make a
loafer out of Jack" Hence the prac-
teal and wise mother will begin early
to teach her children the value of
work.
Whatever can be said in praise of
the present tendency to turn the
schoolwork of children into play, it is
but recent theory and contrary to
the experience of centuries. Man has
not been created for play but for
work, and the sooner child is made
to realize this fact the better it will
be for the child and for human society.
BY all means see to it that your
little ones have reasonable time for
play, and take care that their play
will not end in brawls and fights or
even sins. Allow also reasonable
time for home studies. With all our
inventions we have not as yet dis

except by study Having seen to it
that the child has fair allowance of
time for study and play, mind you,

Important than play-it will be your
further duty to see that your children
acquire love for work. Your own
good judgment and due consideration
OF the ability and strength of your
little ones will be your guide in this
matter so that the children will not
have to work too much nor too little.
