A METHODIST TRIBUTE TO OUR
SISTERS.

The Rev. DR.. r. l. Warner, Princi-
pal of Alma College, st. Thomas,
Canada, in a recent sermon, is thus
reported in the London Free Press:
DIR. Warner told of the work being
done in his institution and paid a
high tribute to the similar work being
done in Catholic institutions all. over
the Dominion.
THE preacher claimed for the
college the pioneer place in the teach
ing of the subjects of domestic sci
ence, music and business training for
young women.
In speaking of the wonderful work
being done by the Catholic Church,
which, he said, had been the first to
recognize the needs for such institu
lions, he expressed the hope that the
deaconesses of the Methodist Church
would in the future found some
teaching order similar to that of the
Catholic Sisters"

THE NEWEST FRANCISCAN VICAR
late IN CHINA.

The Franciscan Order has charge
of ten Vicariates in China. The last
of these was erected in 1911 by His
Holiness Pope Plus x, in the Province
of Shensi. This Vicariate, which is
adjacent to Mongolia, covers a very
mountainous territory, which is ex-
tremely cold and, for the most part,
unfertile. 1t comprises about 3,0O0,-
600 inhabitants, amongst whom, when
the Vicariate was erected, there were
only $500 Christians. There are at
present thirteen Catholic Mission
aries laboring there under the direc-
ton of Mgr. Celestine Ibanez, the
Vicar Apostolic.
Owing to the fact of its having been
established on the eve of the outbreak
of the European war, this newest of
the Franciscan Missions has been
founded in a poverty which must spe-
cially endear it to the heart of st.
Francis.
The Apostolic Vicar and his com
panion Friars in 1915 received from
the Propagation of the Faith 1856
francs, and in the present year, to
support fifteen Missionaries, the Apos-
tolic Vicar has received from the same
sources, 1000 francs-which in our
money is only about 5000.

NUN BECOMES LEPER.
Arthur Brisbane.

Monsignor Leray, Vicar Apostolic of
the Gilbert Islands, sends sad news
regarding one of his faithful nuns.
He says:
Recently the government doctor
officially declared one of our Sisters
to be affected with leprosy. This nun
has been twenty years in the islands
and has fallen victim to her devo-
ton in caring for the spiritual and
physical needs of the Gilbertins. She
spent every Sunday afternoon in the
leper hospital, seeming to prefer the
patients in the last state of decay.
"a little hut has been constructed
for the sufferer, and a native woman
has consented to remain with her out
of love for her former teacher and
friend. A priest comes once a week
and says Mass in a little chapel con-
structed near the enclosure where
she lives"

A TRUE MOTHER.

The Catholic Church, almost alone
among the worlds institutions, has
shown intelligence and appreciation
of the mother in it's reverence and
gratitude for the Mother of Jesus. To
this may be attributed much of the
power of that ancient Church and the
devotion of mothers to it.
The greatest religious monument in
the world is Michelangelo's "Pieta, !"
in st. Peters, at Rome. And this is
the bronze statue of Sorrowful
Mother, upon her lap her dead Son,
Christ.
Think of the genius of that giant,
Michelangelo, who built the church,
decorated it with his paintings, and
put in it this wonderful sculptured
tribute to all the suffering mothers
of the world. Think what this world
owes to His mother, and to all the
mothers unknown that have done so
much,-done all!

OUR HELP REACHES THE
AFRICAN JUNGLE.

Africa is now reaching crisis as
far as its missions are concerned. The
bishops and priests send out only one
story-that of present want and
threatened restitution Every little
help we send is increased thousand
fold in value when it reaches the wilds
of the Dark Continent.
Right Rev. Joseph Heintz, Re-
demptorist, Project Apostolic of Ma
tadi, with residence at Tumba, says:
Coming home from a long trip
through the jungle found gift from
America awaiting me, intended for the
support Of my catechists. How it
cheered my weary spirit! The cate
chists are our only hope; of late we
have not been able to pay them, and
they are really suffering for the means
to live. Help us to keep these good
men in the service of the Church until
our priests return"

THE LAY APoSTOLATE IN AFRICA.

Albert Randrianarijohn is a black
catechist working under Father Del
pouch, S. j., of Madagascar. That
missionary in the last issue Of the
Echo from Africa gives an example
of the wonderful Transformation be-
ing wrought right along by his humble
lay helper. "Ankazo is a small local
ity north of Mandihizana There was
little group of Christians in the
place, who up to the time we are writ
ing about had not made much progress
either in increase of numbers or in
the knowledge of their catechism. The
community had even been erased from
the list of our posts prior to my COM
ing to Ambohidratrina | tried to re-
vive things, but accomplished very
little until Albert was requested by
the community for the space of two
months. He went and gave cate
chetical instructions according to his
usual method-two classes a day and
personal visits to the families in the
intervals between
After two months time we held
examinations with the result that
twenty-one adults were admitted to
baptism and Twenty-Five to first Com
munion. The work of preparation had
been thoroughly done. A retreat of
three days as an immediate prelim-
mary to first Communion was most
consoling."
During the two months of his stay
Albert has in addition put new roof
on the church and painted two pic
lures for it gratis. Summing up his
labors l can say he completely trans
actually filled with the Christian
spirit. These catechists get an aver

education, it is impossible to believe
that such use of the Bible can be
attended with any great value. On
the other hand it is easy to see how
it may be nothing more than a worth
less form, leaving not trace of
good upon the minds and hearts of
the pupils. Religious education,
which has in view the end to be &C.
complished and not the means, can
not possibly look with favor on any
such procedure. And yet many of
the advocates of the Bible in the
schools seem to feel that their whole
work is accomplished when once the
sacred volume is introduced into
these institutions. The suspicion is
aroused that, perhaps unconsciously
to themselves, they are looking upon
the Bible as a kind of fetch, book
of magic power, that they expect it's
presence in the school to work
the miracle of transformation. But
surely they are leaning upon a broken
reed. There is no justification for
what they expect. The Bible is in
valuable for religious education, but
not such use of it as they recon-
mend. Religious education raises
the voice of protest. 1t refuses to
be satisfied with such a makeshift.
1t therefore has little to regret in
the exclusion of the Bible from the
schools. 1t believes that the school
has suffered no loss and the Bible no
injury nor insult"
In the face of recent attempts to
legislate in favor of reintroducing the
reading of the Bible into the public
schools of certain states, this state
ment from a Protestant source is of
interest and value.

THE TECHNIQUE OF LIVING.

A young girl who had spent years
in learning to play the piano, went to
qualify for instruction by great mas
ter. The girl played some of her con-
cert pieces, brilliantly; then without
a word she took her scales: sure fin
gered and strong she went up and
down the piano, then taking each
scale by fifth and sevenths.-
"Ah," said the great teacher sud-
denly, some one has taught you

Back of her brilliant waltzes Law the
grim foundation of her technique. I'm
derneath those big concert pieces was
the perfect mastery of her fingers.
So few people stop to realize that
there is technique to the art of Uv-
ing. Few mothers think to teach their
children that before they can live
graciously, they must learn that per-
feet mental control which makes an
individual master of himself. that
mastery of mind which is Just as diff
cult as mastery of the fingers.
A big athlete takes the hurdles in
spectacular fashion-or clears a bar
at an almost dazzling height. An un.
Initiated person might think that his
great strength makes it possible. But
the element of strength was only in.
cidental. The thing that sent him
over the pole was form-and form in
athletics means perfect muscular con.
trol-a perfect coordination between
mind and muscle.
In the game of life we live finely
not by brute strength, but by learn
ing to control our minds quickly,
when the situation demands it.
That's the technique of iife-to
stand up under personal disappoint-
ments, to put up with Inconvenience
without whimpering, to be able to find
that you can't have what you want
without screaming like a child de-
prived Of bit of candy.

INDIA'S GoLDsMITHS.

The goldsmith, so much in demand
in India, does not enjoy reputation
for honesty. While he is at work, the
client or a trustworthy member of the
family sits by his side the whole day
long and takes the unfinished jewelry
home every evening to prevent the
goldsmith from mixing anything with
the gold. Even this vigilance is not
always successful, for the goldsmith
fingers are quick and he is not always
scrupulously honest.
"The goldsmith will steal a quarter
of the gold even from his mother
says the Indian proverb; and another
is not more complimentary: Stolen
gold may be either with the goldsmith
or in his firepot." Another curious
proverb runs: eff the ear of the COW
of a Mammalian (goldsmith) is cut and
examined, some wax will be found
in it." Referring to the Kammalan's
habit of substituting sealing-wax for
gold and thus cheating people. THE
goldsmith has a thousand persons to
answer" This is in reference to the
delay in finishing a job, owing to his
taking more orders than he can accom-
plish in a given time.
Artisans in gold usually bring up
their children to the same pursuits. 1t
might have been supposed, that the
hereditary influence in the course of
generations would have tended to pro-
duce great excellence, but it has not
done so. Ordinary native work in gold
is coarse and rough, and the designs
are of the stereotyped form. The
wearers Of jewelry in India look more
for intrinsic value of an article, than
to excellence Of the design or work
manship.

A PROTESTANT OPINION ON THE
EXCLUSION OF THE BIBLE
FROM THE SCHOOLS.

Among other things, Catholics are
accused of having driven the Bible
from the Public Schools of our coun-
try, to the great injury of religious
education. Guardians of Liberty"
knights of Luther" Billy Parkers
and others defending America
against the encroachments of Rome"
as they claim, especially have dwelt
upon this point. That agnostics and
Jews have opposed Bible-reading in
public schools is overlooked by these
enemies of the Church, as is the fact
that good reasons have been ad-
vanced by Protestants why the Holy
Book should not be used in the
schools las religious book"
Thus Arthur Jackson Hall, in a
dissertation published by the Univer-
sity of Chicago Press, expresses the
following view on this question:
There seems to be no escape from
the conviction that the great major
ity of those who advocate the use of
the Bible in the schools have in mind
its religious value. They are con-
tending for the Bible in the schools
either as a symbol of religion, or as
manual Of religious instruction, or
as book of religious worship. In
this way they hope to create the
spirit of reverence and impart the
knowledge of religion. All this is
supposed to be accomplished by the
reading of ten or twenty verses a
day, without note or comment. The
purpose, indeed, is praiseworthy, but
the method is Inadequate, From the
point of view of thorough religious

most the first to answer the appeal
were the office force of that paper
and In so doing they showed that
while they themselves are engaged in
promoting one line of Catholic activ-
ity they have at the same time a prac-
tlcal sympathy for the very widest of
the Church's interests-the converting

Dy eIS OI ADTll.
 On March II, 1915, Great Britain declared blockade of Germany, a Diockade which we never recognized as legal. In order to make still more dangerous the shipment of our cotton to the central powers, the British government in August, 1915, declared that cotton was contraband. There With the markets of several empires were closed to us.
 The South was never reconciled to the proposition of oknsidering cotton as contraband of war Informed that Germany was not using cotton for explosives, certain i. terests in the South sent an investigator to Ger many, who was permitted by the Ger man government to inspect a number or factories where sniokeless powder was made. He made his investigation and handed in his report about the middle of 1916. Senator Smith, of Georgia, had this report printed in the Congressional Record" and it's truth was never questioned. The re- port demonstrated that even then Germany was using wood cellulose in the making of smokeless powder, and not a pound of cotton.
 It is fashionable in these days to stir up all the old figures in exist ence, whether true or false, in an effort to prove that the government should take control over some new branch of trade. It is now proposed that the shipment of cotton to neu- trals shall be strongly controlled, on the ground that it is being used for making German explosives. In the first place, cotton is no longer used in the German powder factories. Tn the second place, every single neutral adjacent to Germany already has an export embargo upon American cot ton. To refuse to take the official word of those countries is a gra- tuitous insult to them which the Washington authorities will scarcely care to deliver.
 Nothing should go tc :: European neutral unless that neUtral will guar antee that it will not go further. American supplies must not be used to comfort Germany. But when we have enforced such a guarantee the matter should rest. Two-thirds of the American cotton crop is an nually exported. Interference with the marketing of that export quota Is interfering with the prosperity of the whole cotton belt,
