great honor for her charitable institu-

Sinai; amid perpetual SHOWS and
frightful deserts, to extend assistance

NEEDS OF A NATIVE PRIEST.

Father Joseph Ouang, of Ping hu,
China, is native priest who has done
very good work among his own peo-
pie. He writes in Latin with as much
grace as he no doubt writes his own
tongue. Suffering and need are the
same in every language, and the man
in the heart of Africa or China knows
how to plead as eloquently as the
best of us here, when his wants are
many and his supplies few. Here is
a translation of his letter in which
he conveys his message:
''The good and holy year will bring
us deliverance. You have assured
me that you will help us and God
will bless all our benefactors. The
European war has affected us very
much. We lack $500 for our cate
chumenate. In my district we have
1000 good Catholics and this number
will be increased by the 200 converts
who are now under instruction.

UNEASINESS IN JAPAN.

Bishop Comhaz, P. F. NJ, of the
Nagasaki diocese, sees dark days
ahead for the Catholic missionaries
in Japan. Not only is poverty re-
ducing every branch of endeavor, and
threatening even to do away with the
valuable catechists, because their
salaries are not forthcoming, but an
nther equally serious obstacle is be-
ing placed in the apostolic path.

the Heart of Jesus was to bring all
men to salvation, to win their love,

BUSY IN NEWARK
EVERY CITIZEN URGED TO DO HIS BIT

The statewide Red Cross cam

reached was such a surprising
success that by noon on Tuesday
more than this sum had been sub
scribed. The managers therefore
decided that they would keep Della

ton, and they fixed a new mark
of S1,000,000 which leaves $500,
900 to be raised by next Monday.

RED MEN HOLD HOME
COMING EXERCISES
Crowds Visit The Home In
Newark

A large crowd, coming princip-
ally from Wilmington, visited the
Red Mems Fraternal Home at
Newark on Saturday, the occasion
of the annual homecoming Of the
order in Delaware. The celebra-
tion was the largest of the kind
ever held at the home; the COM
mittee Of arrangements had pre-
rared a pleasing program. A
feature of the celebration, which
was of a patriotic order, was the
presentation of large American
flag, the gift of Manitu Tribe,
number 18, of Wilmington. Great
Sachem John M. Cleary accepted
the emblem in behalf of the home
and it was at once raised. Music
was furnished by the Minnehaha
Band and the Manitu Fife and
Drum Corps.
Following the flag raising De-
putty Great Pocahontas Elva R..
Curry, assisted by Senior Past
Chief S. J. Barcus, and her raising
team gave a splendid rendition Of
the work of the degree by INSTALL
ing chiefs of a Degree of Poca-
hontas.
William Money as Uncle Sam
and Mrs. Rosa Jackson as the God
dess of Liberty, followed by
twenty-six members dressed in
white and wearing red, white and
blue sashes, gave a beautiful drill
and forming themselves in op-
posite lines unfolded stripes which
formed the flag. The audience
sang the "Star Spangled Banner"
then forming a Red Cross and
singing "My Country 'Tis of
Thee" the rendition drew much
applause.
The baseball teams of Manitou
Tribe, No. Is, and Minqua Tribe,

game, Manitou winning 6 to 2.
