OUR AIMS LOSE NOTHING ON
THE WAY TO INDIA.

Father S. Frappe, S.. j., has been
authorized by his bishop to make an
appeal for st. MichaePs College, Bat
ticaloa, in the Trincomali diocese,
Ceylon What has impressed him is
the length our money goes in India.
He writes:
Let me point out the wonderful
efficiency of American financial help
in India The buying power of Amer
lean money increases as it reaches
these shores. Happy Americans, who,
by taking four dollars out of their
pockets are able to put five into ours!
Our college was just started when
the war broke out. 1t is still incom-
plete, and the jungle growth is begin
ming to creep over the place. Part of
it needs a roof, other parts flooring.
But we manage to accommodate ESQ
boys, though they have not the need
ed implements for a scientific course.
If we'll prepared, they can secure
lucrative positions, and it seems pity
to deprive them of the means of earn
ing a living"

CHINA'S WALLED CITIES.

In the illustrations of our mission
airy articles on China appear very fire.
quently pictures of immense walls
here and there surmounted by towers.
China possesses thousands of walled
cities, large and small.
The wall is some fifty or more feet
high, twelve to twenty feet broad at
the top, the inner and outer surfaces
and level top faced with brick or
stone At the outer edge and ex-
tended on above is a parapet, pierced
every few feet with portfolios for
archers and other defenders.
Outside the wall and extending all
around it is a deep, wide moat, the
soil that Was dug away to make it
being piled between the brick or stone
facings of the wall. Through that
moat, filed with water, once strug-
gled foemen armed with sword and
spear, and lance and battle-aX, while
from above the defenders rained
down stones and darts and arrows.
Now, in many cases, this moat is an
humble onion-bed or wheat field or
truck garden. Often it is dump
ground, covered with green scum,
stagnant, odoriferous with indescrib-
able filth, a fertile breeder of mos
quitoes and culture laboratory of seri-
Gus epidemics.
The conventional thing is to have
the walls pierced by gates on the
north, south, east and west. At each
of these entrances a simple but in
genious engineering plan was adopt
ed. Each one was fronted by an outer
gate and connected by walls, thus
forming a more or less rectangular
court outside the real gate. Upon
the four walls, joining the outer and
| inner gates. many defenders could
easily and quickly assemble from all
points and pour deadly concentrated
hail of missiles upon invaders, who,
when inside the outer gate, not only
have not gotten into the city. but are
caught like rats in trap.

WHY NOT RESPOND.

Bishop Roy himself writes an appeal
in favor of one of his missionaries
who is located in the northern part
of the diocese of Coimbatore. The
population of the town in question is
1920, and of these, 1000 are Catho-
lies. They have had to worship in a
miserable chapel that holds about
fifty persons. The poor Christians
have been patiently awaiting a church
for the last thirteen years.
Once the missionary got so far as
to lay the foundation for a building,
but he never secured money enough
to proceed farther, and as the natives
are farmers in dry and barren dis
trict, they can give nothing. In fact,
their poverty is distressing. Most of
them never have more than two meals
a day-and such meals! Just a little
millet boiled in water.
And sad to relate, fire broke out at
midnight Mass, last Christmas, and
burned the old church to the ground.
The priest had only time to save the
Sacred Species. Luckily, no lives
were lost.
Here, then, is a good opportunity
for someone to endoW church, and
no spot poorer than India can be found
in the mission world.

ANNOUNCEMENT REGARDING THE
kUMBAKoNAM LEPER ASYLUM.

Bishop A. Chapuis, p F. NJ, sends
an important announcement concern
ing the leper asylum at Kumbakonam
and Rev. ]. B. Michotte, who has had
charge of it, and who has written
many touching stories of its inmates.
Here is the Bishops communication:
Notwithstanding the strenuous eff
forts of Father Michotte, for the full
development of our leper asylum and
its maintenance, it has been found
that the enterprise is a very difficult
one, and the period after the war will
render it still more difficult. Besides,
Father Michotte, on account of over
work, is rather in a poor state of
health, and cannot work as he has
done heretofore.
For all these reasons he and my
self have decided to hand over the
Ieper asylum to the Catechist Mis-
sionariese of Mary Immaculate. The
good nuns who had already given two
Sisters to take care of the inmates
have generously accepted it and will
assume all responsibility Under the
able management of the Sisters, and
with their great zeal. we have every
reason to believe that the asylum will
become large and effective one.
II request our friends henceforth ia

WE MUST READ BETWEEN THE
LINES.

Rev. P. Chabloz is a Jesuit priest
located in Cetcheou, China. He says
that he is the only missionary in an
immense district containing more
than two, million souls, and he adds:
Anecdotes are not lacking, but the
time to write them is. | spend a large
part of my days making sick calls,
and that takes time. There are no
express trains here, no carriages and
often no roads, yet the distances get
over are immense"
So it is! The literature of the mis-
sions remains to be written.
The missionaries do not concern
themselves much about the manner of
their writings, but hidden in their
brief sentences are wonder stories and
tragedies of heroism and self-sacrif1ce
sufficient to fill volumes. We must
read between the lines, and doing So,
we can see the missionaries life as
it is-the life that requires the high
est vocation in the priesthood in or
der that it may perfect the highest
work-the work of Christ.

"NEvER MADE A TRAITOR"

C. A. Windle in an article in Branns
Iconoclast, a secular journal, defends
the Catholic Church from the SANDER
of the bigots that she is opposed to
education and pays strong tribute to
our parochial schools. He says in
part:
Parochial schools cost Catholic
Americans $4O,0OO,O0O annually.
But for these schools Protestants
would be paying more taxes and it
would cost many additional millions
to provide buildings for the pupils now
attending religious schools.
Justice w. r. Day, of the United
States Supreme Court, received his
preliminary education in public
schools, while Chief Justice White got
his start in the parochial school.
A Catholic education did not dis
qualify Joseph Tumulty from becom-
ing private secretary to the President
of the United States, nor did it pre-
vent DR.. John B. Murphy, of Chicago,
from becoming the greatest surgeon of
our time.
The universities of Paris, Salerno,
Oxford and Cambridge were founded
by the Catholic Church in the thir-
teenth century.
In the fourteenth century she es-
tablished the universities of Rome,
Dublin, Cologne, Heidelberg and
others. In all the centuries of the
Christian era her priests have been
recognized as the best educated men
of their day.
Today her scholars, her scientists
divide honors with the greatest men
of the world. Among these we find
the names of Pasteur, Madam Currie
and Marconi.
Among the master painters of the
world she placed the names of Ra-
phael, Murillo, Rembrandt, Reubens
and Da Vinci.
Among her immortal poets we find
the names of Dante, Dryden, Pope and
Shakespeare.
America owes much to Catholic
explorers-the torch bearers of civili-
zation. Without their names and rec
ord of gallant deeds the story of this
republic could not be told. Here are
a few of them. Columbus, De Soto,
Joliet, Marquette and Della Sale.
A Catholic education did not make
Lord Baltimore an enemy of freedom.
He made Maryland refuge of the
oppressed.
A Catholic education did not keep
Charles Carroll of Carrollton from
adding his name to the American Dec
laration of Independence, nor prevent
General Phil Sheridan from becoming
one of the great soldiers of the re-
public.
Catholic education never made a
traitor to the Stars and Stripes. This

thusiasm in the Badaga villages.
These valiant religious take a very
precious box with them on their
rounds. 1t contains neither gold nor
silver, but phials, medicines and rem
edies of all kinds. These good nurses
station themselves in the most adj
vantageous place in the locality. Peo-
pie bring them mats and chairs, if
they have any, and in the shade of
an old tree they begin the distribution
of their panaceas. It is unnecessary
to say that among these pharmaceuti-
cal supplies there is bottle of holy
water, so that they may be able to
regenerate the souls of children, the
condition of whose health leaves no
hope of cure. They have already adj
ministered baptism to nearly 500
children and to more than one adult.

A VITAL QUESTION.

Do we ever ask ourselves the rea-
son why countless souls are today
ignorant of the meaning of Easter
Feast that was intended to have a
worldwide significance? Our Lord
certainly did His share, but-He left
it to us to complete the great work
of salvation We are expected to
share the wonderful gift of Faith,
which we inherited from our Chris
tian parents, with our less fortunate
brethren. Are we doing it? Are we
supporting the work of the missions
with our prayers and our aims? Are
we taking an active, practical inter-
est in the work of the good priests
and nuns who, without a murmur,
have left home, friends and country
in order to bring the message of
Easter to their pagan brethren? If
we are, then we can look up at our
Crucified Lord as He hangs on the
Cross, and say, Dear Lord, we have
tried to do a little to comfort You in
your great suffering. You died that
the souls of all mankind might be
saved, and we know that through our
humble efforts the past year, at least
a few more pagans, who on last
Easter knew nothing of Your great
love for them, will this year unite
their voices with those of all Your
faithful children throughout the
world and exclaim, This is the day
which the Lord hath made: let us be
glad and rejoice therein.
