Retribution.

II. u. Cooper, president of the Dairy
mems league, said at a banquet In
New York:
Farmers should marry. A bachelor
farmer is Il solecism. No farmer.
though, should marry a wife as he
buys a >tractor-for the work he can
get out of her"
Mr.. Cooper smiled.
THE farmer who marries," he ended.
thinking he can do nothing without a
wife, Is apt TO discover afterward that
he can do nothing with her."

COMPANIONS OF JOB.

p. f. M, of Coimbatore, India, "are as
poor as Job. So when an. offering
comes to them they are almost over

Say to the generous hearts who
have helped me- says one, that my
Christians and their missionary bless
them and pray for them
Another exclaims, The Mass in
tentions sent me were like a ray of
sunshine after a dark night. They
were a smile from4ours good Mother in
heaven
so it will easily be seen how deeply
appreciated is the aid sent us from
America. Often the fortunate ones of
the world are blind to the necessities
of the poor, and think only of their
own pleasures. They do not know
the sweet joy that comes from reliev-
ing necessity.
IT have been making a. tour of the
Nilgiri hills giving confirmation. This
was a sort of vacation as the Nilgiris
are the summer resort of this section.
Most of the Christians there are do

a state of extreme necessity. and even
the smallest aims will help to relieve
the strain" .

A REAL MISSIONARY COUNTRY.

When a party of our Fathers ar
rived in the Philippines in 1909 they
went first to Cebu to pay their re-
.spects to Bishop Hendricks, who died
some few years ago, to whose diocese
Surigao then belonged, writes Father
Olaerts, M, S. c. The Good Ameri-
can Bishop said to them:
well, Fathers, you are going to- a
real mission country; although it is
called civilized. 1t is, in fact, the most
.arduous, the poorest and the most diff
ficult part of my vast diocese. L am
grateful to you for having, agreed to
come and help me out. l. wish you
every success in your most difficult
enterprise and may God bless you'll"
We have all experienced more or
less the truth of the words of the good
Bishop. In those places where there
has been no priest for years the people
are merely baptized pagans, and ev-
erywhere we have to fight against the
goddess public school. But with Gods
help and the kind assistance of our
friends in America we shall win out.

HARVEST TIME.

So frequently do the letters from
China chronicle loss of crops from one
cause or another that it comes, as a
real shock to read of, a. good and
abundant harvest.
The pleasing news comes from Mgr.
sDaems, B. F. NJ, of Tsinchow, who
says:
We are now in the full stress of
harvesting, which stress will last about
a month. The yield this year is of an
extraordinary Understanding we
have not been accustomed to for sew
eral& seasons. Times will therefore be
less hard on our poor natives.

LIE CATHOLIC CHURCH REMAlNs

Following fast on the merger of
three important Presbyterian church
es in the lower portion of New York
City comes the news that a similar
movement is in progress in this city,
although. not. yet consumrnated. In
both instances. the causes are the
same: population has shifted, mem
bers have died or removed, and the
younger generation has gone to the
country to live, says the Philadelphia
Evening Bulletin. N
1t is not at all new in this city.
In the last thirty years a number of
Protestant churches have sold out
their buildings and moved westward,
or have merged. There seemed no
longer any excuse for their existence
in their original habitat. The church
must follow it's congregation or go
out of business.
Anyone familiar with the great
shifts of population in this city since
the early eighties knows that we have
developed here a number of groups
of foreigners, or ~foreign-born people,
into communities which have little
touch with the English-speaking popu-
lations. They have language, social

THE HOLY FATHER REMEMBERS
JAPAN.

The general intentions of the Apostle
ship of Prayer for the month of August
was for the conversion of Japan.
There are some Christians in Ja-
pan, but they are few compared with
the large number of it's people who
are pagans. ST. Francis Xavier, a son
of st. Ignatius of Loyola, preached.
the Gospel in Japan several centuries
ago and made many converts, but his
work there has been largely counter
acted and Christianity has made little
progress owing to the peculiar difi.l
culties to beNsurmounted in establish
ing it firmly.
While there is a population of about
50,000,000 in japan. the number Of
Christians is so small that the. entire
country may be regarded as pagan
and as offering an unlimited field for
missionary zeal of all kinds. He says
that the most urgent needs may be-
classed under three heads, namely,
the needs of the churches and mis-
sion stations, the needs of Christian
education, and the needs of charitable
institutions and enterprises.
1t may be pertinent to add that mis-
sionary literature is also much needed
in Japan as the people are highly in
'telligent and fond of. reading and
study

conditions and religion of their own
kind, and have gradually nudged out
those whose ancestors had lived in
the older part of the city for genera
lions. vi
Church mergers under such cir
cumstances seem essential, but one
cannot help feeling that some other
religious societies have done better
by remaining. One almost never
hears of a Roman Catholic Church
being abandoned or removed. What
one does note constantly is their erec-
ton of new, structures or enlargement
of the old. This is in great measure
due to the fact that so large a por-
ton of immigrants are Catholics, but
it does not disprove the fact that this
organization holds. it's ground while
Protestants must shift.
One notable fact is that Catholics
think further ahead, they build larger
churches, they do not build where
none is needed. You never saw four
Catholic churches at a single street
crossing. The Protestants have been
remiss in this respect, but there are
some signs of a coming change which
may bring about the abandonment of
at least some of their unnecessary de-
nominationalism.

FAT YEARS ARE FOLLOWING THE
LEAN YEARS.

China has had almost as many lean
years as came to the afflicted Egyp-
tians, but now are apparently arfiv-
ing some fat ones to Offset the. terri
BILE famine times and allow the ma
tives to fill up the bins in their store
houses.
Father Apollinaris HerYot, o. F. NJ,
writes that it is now the time of the
ripened ears in Chang-y, Shantung and
that corn is more plentiful than for
several years. Busy with their well
come task of gathering their riches,
even the Christians make few demands
on the missionaries, and the latter are
therefore enjoying what may truly be
termed "a well-earned rest
.TheecoFn harvest is the first on the
list. In the autumn will come that
of other grains, and if it is equally
abundant the outlook will be very
happy for priest and flock. With .plen-
ty to eat and minds freed from anxiety
many pagans will doubtless give heed
to the words of the apostles and "a
rich harvest of souls will be given the
Good Fanciscans. Already some Prot
estants have left the sects to come

in three years not less than 5000 new

AMERICAN ARMY CAMP A BEAUTY
SPOT IN THE PHILIPPINES.

To those who have once visited
Baguio, it will seem"no e~xaggeration
to say that no other part of the Phil
ippines presents so great charm. The
delicious climate, the landscapes which
have few parallels in the extreme
Orient, the picturesque, and ~variegated
character of it's inhabitants all these
circumstances taken together make of
Baguio a. paradise for tourists. En-
tirely true are the words Mgr. Har-
ty, former Archbishop of Manila, spoke
about Baguio: st is a gift of heaven
for the Philippine islands,"
Most of the public utilities, common
to the large cities of the civilized
world are to be found at Baguio, COM
prising electric light plants, water and
sewer system, telephone communica-
tons, market, hospital, ice plant and
even a lot of cinemas of which the
childish Igorots are very fond. OF
course the American engineers did not
forget to pay a special attention to
athletic and sporting fields and there
is no lack of golf links, baseball dia-
monds, polo grounds, etc. >
The army contributed also eficaci-
ously to the adornment, of this chosen
spot: the military camp, John Hay"
thanks to its wonderful mphitheatre,
it's Italian and Japanese gardens, its
n and bandstands, looks rather
like a beautiful park than as a. stra-,
tegic point of great Importance.
In n word, Baguio is true oasis
of modern civilization and comfort
amid it's far-stretching surroundings of
wild mountains: habitat of the savage
and heather Igoret tribes. "a,

months, and gives as a reason the
necessity of Selling the opportunity
presented to it's workers in the foreign
field. ill.,
1t is we'll known that the combined
Protestant offering has been for half
a decade of years more than $20,000,-
900. Since the beginning of the war
this sum has been increased by almost
a third, and o they are reaching
out for more. They are not waiting
until after the war, for they realize.
that the work of the Lord should not
and a not wait. The reason why we
have not followed this splendid exam
pie is that the work of. the foreign.
missions was not sufficiently known to
our Catholic people. They were busy
with their own home needs, building
schools, churches and houses of char
ity. ....
Another reason is the, apathy of our
wealthy Catholics whose interests were.
involved in matters of a secular ma
ture. Rarely has the name of a very
wealthy Catholic been found on a list
of foreign mission contributors. Prot
testant men and~Women of Wealth are
unfailing in their support of their
own works. This wal is going to
make so many changes that perhaps
will notice a change in the contri-
buttons of Catholics of wealth. j.
