These students have been chosen
among our best young folks who

principally to the study of our holy
religion so that later they may teach
their fellow men, aiding the mission
aries in the sublime work of propa-
eating the Gospel. Their wives also
will study the catechism and the first
elements of sewing in order to render
service to the missions. We have
twelve families studying at present in
Betafo, and they are completely de-

very frugal life and have a menu
that is seldom varied, yet sufficient

PATIENTLY WAITING.

Two years ago the Catholic Church
Extension Society received a letter
from a missionary in South Dakota in
which he said he was sorely in need
of a benediction outfit. For two years
the Extension Society has tried TO
secure the desired outfit for this mis-
sionary, but without success. You
can Judge from this the great number
of acquisitions there are on file for
benediction outfits, since the society
tries to fill the requests as they come
in. For two years the people Of this
mission in South Dakota have not Wit,
messed benediction Of the Blessed Sac
rament. VIII they have to wait two
years more?
A benediction outfit consists Of q
monstrance that costs $25, a benedic
ton cope that costs SIS, a veil fol-
benediction costing $40, and a censor
and boat which will cost 81. For 6
gift of $50 a benediction outfit will be
sent to this missionary.
If you cannot send the entire
amount, probably you would like tt
defray the expense Of one of the arti
cles needed for benedictiOn. DO no
delay sending what you can. Any do
nation will be gratefully received b!

ANOTHER PROTESTANT TRIBUTE.

Sir Robert Hart, a Protestant
writer, says of our apostles in China:
THE Roman Catholic missionaries
have done a great work both IN
spreading the knowledge Of one God
and one Saviour, and more especially
in their self-sacrifce in the cause OF
deserted children and afflicted adults.
Their organization as a society is lar
ahead of any other, and they are sec
ond to none in zeal and self-sacrihce
personally. One strong point in their
ARRANGEMENT is in the fact that there
is never a break in continuity, While
there is perfect unity in teaching and
practice and practical sympathy with
their people in both the life of this
world and the preparation for eternity.
The Roman Catholics were the first
in the field: they are the most widely
spread and they have the largest num-
Der of followers,
THAT the Chinese converts do not
deserve the nickname Of Rice Chris
1fans is proved by the religious zeal
Of the well-instructed neophytes, their
moral conduct, their fidelity during
the times of persecution, the large
number of daily communicates, and
bv the substantial help they con
tribute according to their means
toward the building of churches,
schools and hospitals

STORY FROM A WHITE SISTER.

The White Sisters of Africa are
trying hard to make converts among
the Mussulmans. One Of them
writes:
"One winter day a Sister was
asked to visit young woman dying
of consumption.
orphaned at an early age, brought
up by an old aunt whose poverty
forced her to seek a home with an
avaricious uncle, she married to
please relatives. The man soon re-
pudiated her. =
She sank into extreme poverty and
her privations soon brought on the
fatal malady we have named.
"The Sister evinced the liveliest
interest in the poor creature, who,
soured by her past, viewed her new
friend coldly. Il do not speak or I'M
derstand French she responded as
the Sister greeted her.
THE former redoubled her atten-
tons and said sweetly,
my child, l will speak to you in
the Kabylil tongue. Listen, do you
! know how dear you are to me?'
! DO you really love me? Very
well then, l love you also
Yes replied the Sister, I love
you; but God loves you still more be-
cause you have neither father nor
mother to help you. If He sends you
crosses here below, it is to purify
your soul SO that you will gain
Heaven. He is good Father. Cast
yourself in His arms with conf
dence'
"The heart of the Kabyle woman
was won. Her black eyes glowed.
THE next day when the Sister
came she cried out joyfully, I am
perfectly resigned, Sister; 1 rest in
the arms of God. l trust entirely in
Him as you wished me to do"

REVOLUTION IN ABYSSINIA.

A serious revolution is taking place
in the Ethiopian Empire, and aside
from it's political aspect, it may seri-
ously affect the work of the mission
aries.
Abyssinia = the ancient Ethiopia,
boasts a Christianity older than that
of Europe. Though divided by
schisms from the Church, it's natives
have of late shown a leaning toward
the True Faith and the Catholic mis-
sionaries have made many converts.
The famous King Menelik was d
staunch supporter of the Christians,
and upon handing over the throne to
his successor, Lidj Yassou, enjoined
him under pain of a terrible curse to
protect them, as they also were to
obey him. But the young ruler had
no sooner entered upon his reign than
he embraced Islamism and joined the
most fanatical bands for the persecu:
ton of the Christians and for this he
was deposed. He is lurking in the
desert and gathering about him a
horde of Mussulmans.

HIGH COST OF LIVING IN AFRICA.

Bishop Biermans, of Uganda, Africa,
entertained large group of his priests
in May last who came to the main
mission to lay in supplies. Prices
have advanced on all the goods they
need for their work, and the reason
for their visit was to lay in a supply
much of it on credit before the prices
got beyond their means. Calico, which
is needed for clothing the natives,
was raised $40 on the bale in one
month. The Bishop is certain even
the necessities of life will reach a pro-
hibitive figure in short time.
With a five weeks confirmation tour
before him through the interior the
Bishop remarks that though the jour
ney will be hard one, the consola-
lions received from the fiourishing
Catholic communities are more than a
sufficient recompense. He concludes
his letter:
You need not ask whether the
American mails are anXiously expected
by us all. Without the generous as
