COOPERATION.

Thirty-three thousand pagans die
every day in China! These might die
a Christian death if Catholics, who
have been blessed with the Faith since
birth, would do their duty to the mis-
sionaries who are laboring for the
conversion of China. The best way to
help them is to cooperate in the work
of the Propagation Of the Faith So
ciety Are you a Observation-Disclosures,
Special or Perpetual? If you have not
vet Joined, why not send in your name
now, at the beginning Of the year? DO
it for the sake of the Babe OF Bethle-
hem, Who came down from Heaven
for one great purpose-to save the
souls of all men.
The Franciscan Missionaries Oh
Mary have two schools in the diocese
of Lipa, P l., which are recommended
by the Government, but which receive
no help from it. The Sisters also
care for limited number of orphans.
Seven dollars a month will provide for
an orphan.

MISSIONARY PRIEST IN AFRICA
LOSES HIS LIFE BY
DROWNING.

From Brazzaville, French Congo,
comes news of another sad drowning
accident by which a missionary priest
lost his life.
One morning some natives came to
ask FIR. Heriean, Superior of the Liran-
ga mission, to visit man dying of
the sleeping sickness. AS he had
some distance to go, the Father made
ready his little motor boat and all en-
barked. The journey was made in
safety until near the landing place,
where the boat struck a half buried
tree trunk and leaned heavily to one
side In q panic of fear the natives
leaped to the opposite side, completely
capsizing the craft.
Every one tried to save himself. FIR.
Herjean, a good swimmer, gained the
shore He then saw that one of the
natives was still struggling in the cur
rent, and leaping back into the water
sought to save the poor man. But the
latter, clutching his rescuer in fren-
zied grip impeded his movements al
ready made difficult by the clinging
soutane Both disappeared in the cur
rent not to rise again.
The natives rushed to the spot and
endeavored to find some trace of the
pair, but it was not until four days
later that the bodies were found
caught in the roots of a tree.
The loss of this good priest and in
cidentally of the boat is a severe blow
to the station. FIR. Herjean was an
indefatigable worker, and in his little
motor boat carried help along the
Congo and up it's numerous tributaries.
The region is infested with the tse-tse
fly, and the wretched victims of the
sleeping sickness depend on the min
istrat tons of the priests.

present it is brought in buckets from
a long distance and the supply, espe-
cially in summer, is wholly INSULT
cient. Sixty American dollars would
put in a good well near the school
and mean comfort to the children and
their teacher.
A Chinese proyerb says: "He who
drinks water should think of it's
source" FIR. Tseng promises that the
adage will be true in this case and
never will the little ones Stake their
thirst without remembering their
benefactors. Our Lord has also said
that He will reward those who give
a cup of cold water in His name. So
that altogether the inducements should
be sufficient to urge some one to help
the school children to drink deep at
another fount besides that of knowl-
edge.

IN NEED OF COMFORT.

FIR. L. Sacre, P. F. NJ, of Vellore,
diocese of Pondicherry, India, says
that his director at Paris Seminary
used to say, IF a day ever comes
when you feel utterly abandoned, re-
member that God still remains and
that you belong to him." FIR. Faber
also said: "They are rich who pos
sess God, but they are richest who
possess only Cod
AS the spiritual father Of numerous
orphans, FIR. Sacre needs to remember
all these helpful remarks, for he has
little else at present to comfort him.
1t is a sad sight to see hungry faces
around one, and to know that you have
nothing with which to satisfy that hun
ger. Hard, too, is it to turn away the
destitute children who surround the
mission because, like the family in
Bethlehem, there is no room for them
Let the New Year bring good cheer
to FIR. Sacre, and let it show him that
he possesses a few good friends in a
far-away land.

THE OUTLOOK IN CHINA.

Bishop Rayssac, Of Swallow reports
that one of his priests was attacked
by a brigand a short time ago and
left for dead. Happily the bullets
with which the assassin had attempted
the life of the missionary were eXr
tracted and he will in time recover.
Mgr Rayssac thinks the future of
China looks darks with revolution
always in the air The present gov
eminent is weak and the military gen
erals hold the balance of power. They
choose their own soldiers, and as a
prOverb of the country says, An hon
est man never becomes a soldier it
is easy to guess of what material the
soldiers are made"
With twenty-eight missionaries, Of
which six are native, for $4,000 Chris
tians scattered over vast district,
Bishop Rayssac longs for the day when
he can build a seminary for the edu-
cation Of Chinese priests. One of his
European assistants, FIR Guillaume, is
seventy-two years old and has been
forty-four years in the missions with
out a break Notwithstanding his age
he, alone, cares for more than thou
sand Christians living far apart.

CHURCH AND EDUCATION PRAlS.
ED FROM WITHOUT.

In a recent number Of 'The Baptist
Courier" is a sermon by the Rev. DR..
M. D. Jeffries, in which he bravely dis
cards some of the usual untrue state
ments concerning the illiteracy OF
Catholic nations. Dr.. Jeffries says:
Rome maintained civil education
until the fifth century, but with the
barbaric invasion learning died.
Alongside the schools of the Roman
Empire there grew up Christian
schools teaching the things of their re-
ligion; but the intellectual life was
different. Institutions of learning be-
gan and prospered especially in con-
necton with the mOnasteries of South
ern Gaul BY the end of the sixth
century there were no longer any civil
schools: church schools alone existed
which were called cathedral or episco-
pal schools; there were large num-
Der of them. In the sixth and seventh
centuries there were three classes OF
schools, all named for their connection
with the Church, which was conduct
ing the educational affairs of the
world, namely, the parochial, the ca
thedral, and the cloistral schools. They
taught the seven sciences or liberal
arts, grammar, rhetoric, dialectcs,
arithmetic, geometry, astronomy and
music along with religion.
THE Irish monasteries under ST.
Patrick, surpassed all others; he is
said to have founded at least hun
dred, but it is claimed by others that
many of these we're established by his
followers after his death. At any rate,
religion and learning flourished in Ire
land, for these monasteries were both
religious institutions and seminaries
of learning in which sacred and pro-
fame studies were pursued with sue

GRATITUDE IN BORNEO.

Very Rev. Julius Verbrugge, one of
the foremost missionary priests en-
gagged in work among the Filipinos, is
in this country on visit Father Yer
brugge has stopped in several cities.
He is Superior of the Mill Hill Mis-
sioners in the Philippines, and relates
many interesting stories of his expert
ences. The following is an edifying
example of the gratitude which is
sometimes the reward of missionary
sacrifices:
While a missioner in Borneo Father
Verbrugge had among his pupils the
son of local chief. The boy, whose
name was Dominick, was good, clever
and hard working He was first the
star pupil, then assistant, then band
master and schoolmaster. When Dom
mick reached the advanced age of
nineteen it was time, according to the
custom Of his people, for him to seek
wife. He talked the matter over
with Father Verbrugge, and after some
hesitation admitted that he had not
only considered the matter, but had
also selected the girl-Rose, a charm
ing Chinese maiden who lived in the
neighboring convent She was good
and well-trained, and likely to prove
a good Christian wife.
The customary letter of proposal
was accordingly composed and dis
patched. 1t met with instant approval
from the delighted Rose and her care
full guardians. But the mother OBJ
Jected. For many years she had been
Indifferent to the welfare of her child,
but now she had received an offer of
one hundred dollars for Rose from a
wealthy Chinese merchant, and in her
greed wished to take advantage of it.
For the sake of the young people, of
whom he was very fond, and the
dreamed-of Christian village of which
they would be founders, the Missioner
gave the mother one hundred dollars
from his scant mission funds. The
woman departed contented, the ar
rangements were concluded, and Dom
mick and his Rose were married and
settled down to live happily ever after.
A few years later Father Verbrugge
was assigned to new mission In the
Philippines. New duties filled the
years and the incident of Rose and
Dominick was forgotten. After fifteen
years had passed, the morning mail

BAPTIST DIVINE ON CATHOLIC
ILLITERACY.

The Baptist Courier" does not Of
ten have kind word for the Catholic
Church and perhaps, we ought not to
expect ii. but an occasional truth crops
ont in its columns that must have
crept in there while the editor was on
his vacation. A late number OF the
paper contains a sermon by Rev. Dr..
NJ. D. Jeffries, in which he shows more
knowledge of early Christian history
than is usual with Baptist preachers,
and in which he discards some OF the
usual bigoted statements concerning
the illiteracy of Catholic nations. DR..
Jeffries says:

until the fifth century, but with the

MANY ORPHANS TO BE CARED
FOR IN MADRAS.

1t is perhaps not generally known
that the Catholic missions own the
largest number of orphanages in the
Madras Presidency, and therefore
maintain the largest population of or
phan children. There are in all in
Madras 113 orphanages, which support
2,706 boys and 1882 girls. Of these
the Catholic missions alone care for
nfty-three orphanages containing 1850
boys and 1887 girls; the Protestant
denominations together own forty
seven orphanages, with 1908 boys and
1929 girls; the non-Christian denomi-
nations, thirteen orphanages, with 353
boys and 16 girls.

ON THE INFLUENCE OF THE
CATECHISTS.

Komatsu Taro is a young Pagan fell
low Of sixteen. He has many ideas
of independence and of self-reliance.
Fifteen days ago he escaped from his
fathers home, otained a position as
agent for the distribution of evening
papers, rented little room in little
house and began to live independently.
His father and mother were very
anxious about him, but, as they were
a well-known family they feared to
notify the police. So they merely
waited patiently for their boys return.
BY the grace of Divine Providence,
a good Catholic lad was living in the
same house where Komatsu had
rented his room. The two young men
became friends, and the Catholic lad
was instrumental in leading Komatsu
to the Catholic Mission.
In the course of time Komatsu and
the Catechist became friends also.
Yesterday morning Komatsu told
his new friend, the Catechist, of his
escape from his fathers house, fifteen
days before, and of his fathers and
mothers seeking for him. The Cate
chist, after some arguments, con-
WINGED him of his fault, and induced
him to go back to his home. Komatsu
then asked the Catechist to accom-
pany him to his home in order that
he might introduce him to his parents.
This was done. The father and
mother Of the adventurous young man
were very much surprised. Their adj
miration of the Catholic Catechist is
so great that they have resolved to
enter the Catholic Church.
