HOME AND FOREIGN MISSIONS.

Many, when approached for help for
good works in foreign lands, say that
they prefer to do their charity at
home, that they wish to see the fruits
of their gift. This is all very good,
but if all were to answer that way,
how many a good work would have
to go undone? And are there not
many to see and assist the charitable
works being done at home, whereas
equally good works in foreign lands
must be carried on with extreme dill
Guilty, owing to the absolute lack OF
lay sympathy and assistance? Gods
blessings must certainly be greater
for one who makes the double sacrl-
flee of money and the satisfaction OF
seeing the fruits it produces than for
one who demands this satisfaction, as
it were, in payment for his gift. BY
furthering such a cause as this, you
become co-laborers of those OF whom
it has been said: ''They who instruct
others unto righteousness shall shine
as the stars of heaven"

THE BENEDICTINES AND OUR
INDIAN MISSIONS.

The Indian Sentinel says: Indian
mission history reveals the fact that
the Benedictine monks, true to the
traditions of their order, are mission
aries and teachers and civilizers of
peoples and nations today, as they
have been in the ages past. The
Benedictines have several Indian mis-
sions in Oklahoma; they have charge
of all the Indians Of Minnesota and
of North Dakota, with the exception
of the Turtle Mountain Chippewas;
ahey care for the Sioux reservations
of Crow Creek, Lower Brule and
Standing Rock, South Dakota, and the
Fort Peck Reservation, Montana; and
they attend the Catholic children OF
the large Government Indian School,
of Chemawa, Oregon.
ct is a remarkable fact that, among
religious, only Benedictine monks have
held the position of superintendent
in Government Indian schools. AT
the present time the only priest hold
ing such a position is Father Isidore
Ricklin, o. S. B., Superintendent OF
the Government Indian School OF
Anadarko, Oklahoma"

AN IMPRESSIVE CEREMONY IN
AFRICA.

An impressive ceremony took place
in Africa, March 6, when Mgr. Ley
maud, new Archbishop of Algiers, was
consecrated The date was fixed for
the feast of st. Perpetua and st.
Felicite, the illustrious martyrs of an
cient Carthage, and the conservation
took place in ST. Louis Cathedral,
over the tomb of Cardinal Lavigerie,
the venerable founder of the White
Fathers. The scene was further made
imposing by the presence of the
Primate of Africa and five Bishops
representing the Church in Northern
Africa. The vast Importance of our
holy religion in this part of the Dark
Continent is another eXemplification
of the value of the blood of martyrs
in the mission world.

CATHOLIC PATRIOTISM.

ME HAD HIS JACKET ON WRONG.

After breakfast a little Kaffir urchin
passed in front of the church carry
ing half dozen empty tin dishes back
TO the Convent kitchen. On the top
one was his straw hat. 1t was anus
ing to note that the hat was the most
s'dressy" piece of his attire. When
right in front of the church he made
an elaborate sign of the cross and
then placed the hat on his head In
spite of this evident piety the "old
Adam" was not entirely out of the lit

WHAT FREETHlNkERS THINK
ABOUT US.

"Of all organizations, the Roman
Catholic Church is the greatest.
What position does she occupy in this
great conflict of nations? Is she also
on the verge of collapse and are her
foundations likewise trembling? NO!
Indeed, she also manifests the scars
and blows inflicted by this terrible
war, but there is no indication OF any
serious catastrophe.
THE Catholic Church, as the bril-
liant Benedictine Odilo Rothmauer
once said, is too old and has expert
enced too much to lose her poise
when the time recurs for the turning
of another leaf in the history OF the
world. Her structure is solid, and
the dogmatic principle supporting her
is so deeply rooted in the hearts OF
millions of men that not even the
whirlwinds of world war can seri-
ously ieopardize her existence. Yea,
precisely in epochs of the greatest up
heavals she looms up to singular
greatness and becomes like a haven
of rest amid the wild flight OF
phenomena, amid the vortex of events
In such times she sees the harvest
ready for reaping and her future ex
handing. Thus we observe in
this war how governments are trying
to ingratiate themselves into the
favour of the Roman Curia. Not al
has been disclosed that has been
recorded with satisfaction in Rome
but even that which has been made
public is sufficient evidence of the
growing position of Importance of the
| Papacy."

PRAYER OF OUR HOLY FATHER.

20 God, Who hast united the differ
ent nations in the confession of Thy
Name, we pray to Thee for the Chris
tan peoples of the East. Mindful of
the noble place which they have held
in Thy Church, we beseech Thee to
inspire in them the desire to take it
again, in order to form with us one
fold under the rule of one and the
same Shepherd. Bring it about that
they, together with us, may be filled
with the teaching of their holy Doc
tors, who are also our Fathers in the
Faith. Prevent any mishappening
which might ALLEVIATE them still more
from US. May the spirit of concord
and love, which is proof of Thy
presence among the faithful, hasten
the day when our prayers and theirs
may be united, in order that every
people and every tongue may recog-
nize and glorify Our Lord, Jesus
Christ, Thy Son. Amen 300 days
indulgence once a day; plenary once
