In the center in the place of honor,
upon a full-groWn golden lotus flower,
as wide as the base of a tower, sits
enthroned a colossal Buddha in gold
in front of golden nimbus which. is
spread out behind like the extended
tail of an enormous peacock. The
image is surrounded by a guard of
twenty scarecrows of huge human
form, and appearing like both devil
and a corpse.
They raise their arms, they make
gestures of rage with their shrivelled
hands; they gnash their teeth; they
open their eyes, which are without
eyelids-all with an expression Of in
tense horror.
Their veins and arteries, plainly Wis
ible, run up and down their members,
which are fashioned with striking an
atomicaI correctness. They are paint
ed blood red, blush or greenish;
sometimes like the flesh of person
fayed alive or like a Corpse-in short,
in all shades of living flesh or that
which has begun to purify.

ALMOST BEYOND BELIEF.

One of our bishops in India, Right
Rev. A, Chapuis, P. F. NJ, wrote pro-
test not long ago against the serious
obstacle to conversion offered by the
OsOphiSts and their cult. The fact that
the progress of Christianity is being
hampered by individuals, born to the
Christian faith themselves, but who
find in a neo-Hinduism loftier ideals,
seems incredible, but such is the case.
Protestant missionaries are also dis
gusted, and one of them relates that
when he visited the headquarters of
the Philosophical Society in India. at
Adyar, he found there a beautiful
shady room in which the central OBJ
ject is a shrine containing colossal
marble figures of Madame Blavatsky
and Colonel OlcOtt, the latter in an
American frock coat. He says:
These people are the central objects
of worship; before them is a vast
copper vessel upon which the sacred
lotus floats, and above them burns a
dim lamp. Round about them are the
lesser figures of the worlds other
prophets-Confucius, Gautama, Mo-
manned and Christ. Above them is a
frieZe in which the Cross, the Cres-
cent and the lingam stand side by side,
and over the doorway is the motto
There is no religion higher than
truth

AFFLiCTiON OF A PHILIPPINE
MISSION.

What terrible risks the mission
aries are taking each day of their
lives! True, their almost miraculous
escapes are numerous, but every now
and then death and disaster take a
toll.
Father Nysters, B. F. NJ, Superior
of the Philippine mission of Surigao,
mourns several recent losses:
"One of my priests" he writes,
the good Father Herbrink, is in the
hospital at Manila, and | fear will
soon take the road to heaven. News
also comes of the death Of two young
missionaries in the full flush of
health. One, Father JOS Goosten, en-
tered the house of a sick person with
out knowing the disease. 1t was
cholera. The Father contracted it
and died two or three days later.
1.-THE other was Brother JOS Winans,
the youngest of our lay brothers. He
was overtaken, while on an expedi-
ton, by the heavy rains. Knowing
that he was expected at the mission
on a certain day, he ventured to cross
swollen torrent The boat capsized,
throwing him and two companions into
the water He was unable to swim,
and the others had all they could do
to save themselves. The Brother was
drowned. Our mission is surely much

of the Temple B'nai Israel Galveston,
Tex, took occasion to eulogize the
late Right Rev. N. A. Gallagher, late
bishop of the Diocese of Galveston,
who died there recently. Rabbi Cohen
said:
Completing the three score years
and ten of the psalmist, Bishop Gal
| lagher numbered we'll his days and
| applied his heart to wisdom. Thirty
| six years a bishop, my senior six years
in the Galveston ministry, and my
senior by a score of years in point of
age, | learned much by contact with
him, and | thoroughly appreciated his
breadth of character. 1t is my eXpe-
rience that agencies that uplitt an in
tegral portion of the community up
lift the whole community. Judge,
then, by the life and work of Bishop
Gallagher, Galveston has lost an in
caIculable power for good. Partici-
pating in every civic activity, bending
the influence of his exalted position
in furtherance of that which was right
and just in our everyday existence,
the bishop will long be remembered
as an exemplifiCation of probity OF
the highest type.
I'VE Jews owe Bishop Gallagher's
memory debt of gratitude. | recall
that, in the interests of truth and JUS
tice, he was one of the first of this
city in each instance to sign a protest
to the French government upon the I'M
fortunate Dreyfus affair; to the Rus
sian government on the Kishineff mas
sacre, and again to the Russian gov
eminent on the prepOsterous Beilis5
blood accusation; and he voluntarily
subscribed to whatever funds were
collected for the relief of the victims
of Russian persecution as well as to
the Jewish war sufferers fund. No
narrow, partisan spirit could have
done this!
"a splendid example of Considera-
ton of other mems religious ConVic-
tions and an ardent upholder and
supporter of his own, Galvestonians Of
all denominations can i'll afford to lose
so eminent a citizen. The Jewish peO-
pie offer their sympathy to their Cath
Ole brethren in their hour of trial. |
Bishop Gallagher numbered well his
days and applied his heart to wis

PERSEVERANCE REWARDED.

Bishop 6treicher sends the story of
little maid Of Uganda who, al
though having been made Protestant
in her fathers home, declared herself
in favor Of the Catholic Faith, and
was continually running away to the
mission and asking to be instructed
by the nuns.
Each time an irate father came after
her and threatened her with untold
horrors if she visited the Catholics
again, but in day or two back would
come the child. Such persistence, at
so tender an age, astounded and edi,
fed the priests and nuns, but they
could not keep the child in defiance
of-parental authority.
But it was destined that persever
ance was to be rewarded. The little
girl actually wore out the resistance
OF her father. One day she came and
was allowed to remain. No whipping
awaited her en- her return. If she was
determined to become a Catholic she
was allowed to take her own way.
JOyfully the nuns prepared her for
the great event. On Christmas eve
she received baptism, taking the name
of Mary Annunciata.
Many startling cases of this nature
take place among the natives of Ugan-
da, and the harvest there is most
gratifying.

FOR COLoRED MISSIONS.

On August fourth, Rt. Rev. Mgr.
Catholic Board for Mission work
among the Negroes of the United
States will celebrate the fortieth ami
versary of his ordination to the priest
hood. TO signalize the event many OF
the friends of this well known priest
desired to make him the recipient of a
personal token of esteem. The Jealous
worker, whose whole priestly career
has practically been spent among the
Colored Catholics as pastor or in their
interest as missioner throughout the
country, declined to assent to their
kind intentions. However, he pro-
posed that his anniversary might be
turned to account for the people whom
he loves and whose conversion is his
constant CO ,ern. AS this is to be his
ruby jubilee he plans to raise a Ruby
Reserve Fund which will be placed at
interest, the income from which to be
applied to the needy churches and
schools of the South.
Monsignor Burket began his labors
among the Colored people thirty -five
years ago when he was appointed pas
tor of ST. Benedict the Moor's church
in New York City. When the Hier-
archy decided in 1907 to establish the
Board for the care of the Negro work
in the United States, Father Burke
was the unanimous choice. He or
ganiZed the Board and since that time
has continued, with the aid of priests
assigned as helpers, to collect money
through the country for the support of
the religious establishments of the
South. During that time he has col
lected and disbursed: $72,144.50 as ap-
preparation for new buildings; the
monthly allowance for teachers and
schools has amounted to $138,575.00;
81 new missions have been establish
ed; sermons have been delivered in
40 churches; the monthly payroll for
1872 teachers in 81 schools, amounts to
$3.50.

Missions to mark his fortieth ami
Yersary appropriately Monsignor

UNFORTUNATE suPERsTITIoNs.

The Filipinos believe that nearly all
diseases are due to poisoning or to a
spirit of revenge held against the vic
tim by an enemy When a recent ep;-
demic of cholera swept through Surf
gao it was held that the wells had
been poisoned. Some laid the pois-
oning to the former monks who had
occupied this section; others to the
governor; still others accused the
Americans, the Dutch Fathers, the
doctors and the sorcerers.
One man whose daughter died of
the disease wanted to bring action
against the man who fumigated the
house, because few drops of carbolic
acid happened to fall into the teapot
The officers of the board of health find
it difficult to do their work properly
on account of the superstitious beliefs
of the people, and therefore they re
fuse to fumigate now until the patient
is dead.

during all that time he had remained
away from Church and gave himself
UP to superstitious pagan practices.
He saw the devil and was afraid of
hell. There was so terrible an odor
in his room that no one would enter
it.
The dying man lay on his bed and
begged for priest. l entered the
room and, through the favor of God
no bad odor whatever remained. As

GIVING JOY TO THE ANGELS.

Every individual born into the world
is given an angel guardian. There
fore each pagan, though he dwell in
the darkest part of the darkest con-
tinent and be stepped in the grossest
superstition, has an angel of God con-
stantly beside him.
What joy must it give these heaven
Iy visitants when ministers of the
Cross draw nigh and light and grace
begin to operate in the soul of the
poor pagans. No doubt they aid pow
erfully in bringing about conversions,
and also contribute to the courage,
patience and strength required by the
missionary for the fultilment of his
task.

A LITTLE ABOUT DIEGO sUAREz

Bishop Fortineau is Vicar Apostolic
of Diego Suarez, Madagascar. This
vicariate is new and was detached
from Tananarive, which counts sixty
years of existence.
Speaking of his own experience,
Mgr. Fortineau says:
Il came here with the first group of
priests and am the second bishop, hav-
ing been consecrated in 1914. My ven
cradle predecessor, who was siXty-two
years Of age when he undertook the
work, had everything to organize. At
first we were only four missionaries,
placed in the most important centers.
When he died we were thirty priests
scattered in nineteen stations. Since
the war our number has been reduced
to nineteen. However, | myself have
opened three new residences and have
closed none of the old ones.
This vicariate is the largest in Mad
agascar. Most of it's population of the
country is Centered in and around the
cities of Tananarive and Fianarantsoa
and my district includes wide region
peopled by many different tribes. The
government has built good roads near
the cities, but we must use any means
to reach our scattered flock.
AS yet l have not been able to es-
tablish Grand Seminary for native
priests, but there is a Small Seminary.

WEEPING FOR THEIR SINS.

Father Cothonay, o. p, rejoices in
the services of some native Sisters
who are of great help in caring for
the children and women of Ian Son
and Gao Bang. They number about
twelve. On the days for confession
the nuns refresh the memories of
their flock by eXhortation on the
necessity of real contrition and often
move their hearers to tears. In fact,
the natives have come to believe that
it is necessary literally to shed tears
of remorse before cenfessing their
sins, and the priest often hears a peni-
tent begin this way: Father, 1 &C
cuse myself of not having wept for
my sins Evidently the native nuns
perform their work we'll.

RABBI PRAISES MARTYR OF MOL
OKAI.

Rabbi Joseph Krauskopf, D. D.,
speaks in these enthusiastic words of
the martyr of Molokai, Father Da-
mien:
Two disappointments my visit t.
Honolulu has for me by reason of the
Shortness of our stay. One was my
inability to get to the nearby island Of
MolOkai, the other to get to the island
of Hawaii. The latter would have at
forded me an opportunity of seeing
two of the greatest active volcanoes in
the world, Kilauea and Mauna Loa,
and any number of colossal extinct
craters The former would have
brought me to the leper colony, made
immortal by the humanity and martyr
dom of Father Damien.
The present generation probably
knows little of the heroism Of that
apostle to the lepers, who during my
early ministry and throughout my stu
dent days possessed my soul as few
martyrs of modern times have dOrc.
He was in the prime of his early
manhood, in robust health, man of
education and refinement, with every
prospect of advancement in his pro-
fession, when he heard of these suf-
fcring lepers and their cruel abandon
ment. He resolved to give up all for
their sake, to go to them, live with
them, minister to them, suffer and die
among them. When he came among
them he found the area within which
the lepers were confined a living
graveyard.
"Undismayed, he entered upon his
work, became physician of soul and
body, teacher, magistrate, mechanic,
farmer, cook, undertaken, grave digger.
His labors reaped rich rewards. May
his memory long continue sacred and
an inspiration for the alienation of a
hundred other sufferings which cry
aloud for men like unto the Apostle of
Molokai'

memt Devoted to Catholic Institutions and Ma

Burke desires that forty thousand dol
lars should be raised for the Colored
Missions. While he and his assist
ants, Fathers Dustin and Edwards, are
to make personal appeals to those who
may be in position to donate large
sums, it is the intention of Monsignor
Burke to request everyone to give
what can be afforded, even though
the amount be only single dollar.
The official organ of the Board, Our
Colored Mission" explains that during
the three months preceding August
the fund will be sought, in the hope
that when the anniversary arrives the
forty thousand dollars shall have been
deposited to the benefit of the Negro
mission work. The offerings may be
sent to Rt. Rev. Mgr. John E. Burke,

HIDEoUs BUT WONDERFUL.

One of the most wonderful sights of
Japan is the Temple OF the Thousand
Gods. designed over eight centuries
ago by some mystic or other in de-
lirium who had to spend prodigious
sums of money to carry out the orig
inaT plans.
1t resembles no other temple. Here
there are no affairs, no burning incense,
no sacred enclosures. Ten stories OF
steps rising one above the other, each
about seven hundred feet long, on
which legion of gods projecting from
all the sanctuaries seem to be ranged
in line in order to be present at some
wonderful spectacle, some worldwide
cataclysm.
