8 o'clock Tuesday morning, an automo-
bile owned by Mr.. and Mrs. Lynn
Grantham slowed, and became wedged
between the tracks just as west
bound express train approached. Mr..
and Mrs. Grantham who were in the
car discreetly got out of it only few
seconds before the locomotive bumped
into it. Bystanders seeing the pre-
dicament the occupants of the car were
in made an attempt to stop the train,
but not in time to prevent the colli-
sion. The automobile, an Overland
touring car, was seriously damaged.

parnt Devoted Catholic institutions and Matters Edueaa Intere

pedia Americana, SeVenty-seVen Prot
estant and 14S Catholic universities in
existence, of which, as we have above
stated, twelve were stolen from the
Catholic Church. Add to these the
thousands of Catholic colleges and
academies wherein the youth of both
sexes are educated and the myriads Of
parochial schools, maintained by Cath
olic generosity, especially here in the
United States, and you must be con-
WINGED that the Catholic Church is in
very truth the mother of education.
Has the world ever known teachers
superior to Augustine, Basil, Leo the
Great, Aquinas, BonaVenture? Where
will you find a leader and organizer
comparable to Benedict, Francis of AS
sisi, Dominic, Loyola, Therese and
Catharine of Siena?
To come down to later date, you
will find no work more enduring or
more profitable to the human race
than the work of st. Vincent de Paul,
Mother McAuley or Mother Seton.
These names are taken at random
from among thousands of others as de-
serving of mention as educators and
leaders, names that stand out in glow
ing cOlors in the pages of history, both
sacred and profane.

PALM SUNDAY is FITTINGLY
CELEBRATED IN THE
PHILIPPINES.

Father VanderWalle, the Scheut Mis-
sionary at Tagudin, p. l., gives some
picturesque details of the way Palm
Sunday is observed there. "On Palm
Sunday" he says, begin the really
great functions of Holy Week. We are
in the country of the palms and ever
lasting green. Before High Mass,
even from the most distant parts of
the town, come hundreds with a great
palm leaf in their hands. This is
adorned with flowers and with other
leaves which take all possible shapes,
even that of birds resting on the palm
leaf. When, before Mass, the priest
sprinkles the congregation with Holy
Water, everybody waves his palm-leat
above his head After the benediction
of the palm-leaves, the procession
starts, hundreds of palms being car
ried At the return of the procession
two little boys dressed as angels stand
in the window above the church door
and alternate with the choir in singing
the antiphons, while they throw flow
ers to the priest

AMERICAS DISTINCTION.

Says Bishop Dougherty: Our coun-
try is not yet known as the land of
saints and sages; and we may not
have the prestige of the national
Church of Italy, a country which has
in it's midst the Vicar of Christ
Neither can we boast with Spain of
having founded so many churches in
other parts of the world-South Amer
lea, the Philippines. We have not the
prestige of the Church of France,
which has sent forth and still sends
forth missionaries to the ends of the
earth in large numbers. We cannot
point to a record Of suffering for the
faith, as can Poland and Ireland.
But there is one thing to which we
can point with pride and in which our
Church eXCelS all other national
churches, and that is our parish
school system.
That is the reason the late Arch
bishop Spalding pointed to our school
system, eliminating in our many Cath
Ollie colleges and universities, as the
great outstanding fact Of the history
Of the CHURCH in the United States and
as the most salient phenomenon of
the history of the Catholic religion in
these modern times.

CATHOLIC CHURCH FOUNDER OF
COLLEGES.

Strange as it seems to Catholics,
who hear education preached from
their pulpits more than anything else
besides religion itself, enemies of the
Church have repeated, so often, the
libel that the Church is opposed to
education that many outside the fold
actually believe it. The Very Rev.
Thomas P. Smith, Chancellor and vi
car General in Curia of the Altoona
Diocese, showed in an address a few
days ago at st. Francis College COM
mencement in Johnstown, Pa, that the
Church is the Mother of Education, y
for it was under her auspices that the
first free schools were established, and
she today has far more universities
than the combined Protestant
churches. In part he said:
The Catholic Church, the pillar and
ground of truth, has always been, is
at present, and will in the future be
the leader par excellence as well in
religious as in secular education. She
has been said to be the enemy of en-
llghtenment, especially as far as Sec
ular education has been concerned
and of her it has been written that she
discouraged investigation particularly
IN the realm of the secular sciences.

human lungs and liVers taken alive
from our patients when they are fat
and we'll!
After a few weeks the newcomer
has sense and courage-God gives it to
them abundantly He falls in love
with his new nurses and his fellow
patients. It's a pleasure to see them
bright and smiling with catechism or
prayer book in hand. BY and by their
health improves also and we keep
them at work as much as possible.
Carpenters, gardeners, tinmen, paint
ers-all with the best appetites at the
table.
Alas. many are blind and helpless.
Their days are long as they say, some
times their patience fails and they
complain that life is cruel to them. In
their case, God is the only helper, and
we, poor little representatives of our
Catholic Church, have to show them
virtue and love as Jesus brought them
down to us from heaven.
''You see how needful we are of our
benefactors' prayer! Many of the
poor lepers they have fOstered are
little saints" who will surely have
much credit in heaven. On their
deathbed we always ask them to re-
member their benefactors and protect
them from above!"

calls, but books and pamphlets, which
must be translations into native
tongues, are nevertheless much
needed in mission countries.
Father Aelen, of Nellore, India, has
found time to compile prayer book
that is especially adapted for the use
of converts and children. 1t is really
a Catechism, a hymn-book and a
prayer book combined, and the fact
that the first edition is exhausted
shows how popular it is. He writes:
1T is a pleasure to hear the little
ones singing the hymns in the even
ing as they sit before their huts, and
at Mass and Benediction the little
book is most helpful, for it is the
custom here for all to recite aloud
the ordinary of the Mass, as well as
the Vespers. Every convert is anxious
to receive one of these books as soon
as he is baptized, and no prize that l
can give the school children is more
appreciated.
But the first edition is all gone,
and fear a second one will cost more
than the last, on account of the in
creased price of paper, etc. l am won
dering if it is too much to ask for a
little help in meeting this expense in
these hard times when there are so
many calls on your pocketbooks. Any
way, it will do no harm to ask"

AND WHAT HAVE you DONE FOR
THE MISSIONS?

A contemporary asks a series of
pertinent questions to which we make
an addition
You who have perfect health, what
return have you made to God or to
your sick, poor or heavily burdened
neighbor?
You who are rich in the world
goods, what return have you made to
those in poverty and distress?
You who are free from all disease,
inherited or acquired, what return
have you made for your sound consti-
tuition and physical vigor?
You who have children of your own
for whom you tenderly care, what re-
turn have you made for their security
and well being to the little ones, the
helpless, the homeless, the parentless2

WHEN ORPHANS HELP
ORPHANS.

When orphans help orphans, Heaven
must, indeed, rejoice. This is what
two little girls in Maryland have
done One is only seven years old and
about to make her first communion,
the other is few years older. Their
names are Ruth Roberts and Lottie
Higgs, and by hard labor and strict
economy they have accumulated
$3.50. Instead of spending this sum on
goodies or amusements, they have for
warded it to the Society of st. Peter
Claver: they wished to purchase a
baby heather girl who shall re-
ceive in baptism the name of
Theresa Martin. Surely the Little
Flower will remember these good
children and secure for them many
blessings.
