HE died." went on Ted, "but we
got him a chaplain first, and l knelt
down with the others. I, who in all
my life had never been taught to pray
and afterwards, when he was dead,
1 kept the rosary. I've had it ever
since. l thought to keep it always.
But now" he turned to his mother,
and his father, ignored and, please
God, touched by what he had heard,
was silent. Now, mother" went on
Ted, I'm giving it to you. Many

it's lain against my heart, and l think
I've learned it's lesson"
He had laid it in his mothers hand,
and surely the blood-stained beads of
her fellow countryman began another
mission in the heart of her who once
had said Our Lady's Rosary often, aye,
and daily in her childhood's Irish
home.

under her breath, but still, her own
son heard her, pray for sinners; and
oh, the sinner | have been. l wouldn't

it, but you, His Mother! oh, pray for
us sinners now"
And her sons voice joined gravely
in Now, and at the hour of our death.
Amen
Mother" cried Ted, taking her by
the shoulders, mother, you'll come
back AGAIN."
"Oh, Ted, it's all so far away now!
I've gone astray. I've not dared to
pray these years back. God has
seemed SO far away"
"And out in the trenches, mother,
He was SO near, so awfully near. And
here or there there's death to face
some day"
Il can't ask God to forgive SO
much" she repeated, with fearful eyes
upon her husband.
But His Mother will ask Him for
you," maintained Ted firmly.
Z Then he turned to his father.

out on foot for that rather dingy

Indeed, Mrs. Turner had been 'in

modic help from George, to-hurry on
the delayed preparations, and so

for the first time since the latter's

Every hour of that precious weeks
leave had been carefully planned out,
and the father began to enumerate
the visits that had to be paid on the
morrow, beginning with a morning
call on an old uncle from whom the
Turner family had expectations.

MISSION ECHOES.

The first ordination in Alaska took
place in Juneau on Holy Saturday,
when Rt. Rev. Bishop Crimont, S. j.,
raised to the priesthood Father Edgar
Gallant.
Father Gallant is a Canadian by
birth, but his early studies were pur-
sued in California and his courses in
philosophy and theology at the Sem
mary of Mount Angel, Ore, where he
was professor of mathematics.
The Church in Alaska is making
great strides and will no doubt in
rease the number of it's children rap

IAN Irish boy left it to me-" he said,
and it was evident that he saw again,
as he spoke, the death scene of that
boy. He was wounded horribly. 1t
was sickening," he shuddered at the
remembrance. Half of him was shot
away. Why, even the beads in his
pocket were charred by the shell. He
lived only half an hour, but he asked
me to get the rosary from his tunic.
1t was warm and sticky from his
blood"
He pointed with a gesture to some
thing dried and brown upon the beads.
"And he asked me to say it, but L
I didn't know how to pray. There were
others, thank God! who said the Lords
prayer for him and the prayer to the

came Emily's voice, singing now, from

While Switzerland is not a mission
airy country, it is interesting to learn
that a marked growth of Catholicity
is noted there. In 1880 the members
of the Faith in Zurich numbered not
more than 10000. Today they num-
Der 10000, and are for the most part
practical Catholics. In all Switzer-
land there are about 10000 Catholics,
or one-fifth of the population.

Some time ago the Chinese govern
ment decided to open a large public
hospital at Peking, furnished with the
latest appliances and under the man
agement of young Chinese physicians
who had graduated from American
universities. Catholics will be graft
fed to learn that the administration
of this notable institution has been
placed in the hands of the Sisters of
Charity. When it is taken into con-
sideration that the Protestant mis-
sions are numerous and wealthy in the
city, and that they fully expected and
desired the care of the hospital, the
compliment to the Catholics is more
marked. Decidedly, in the north as
we'll as in the south of China the
Catholic Church is gaining a strong
foothold.

home to us, l make no doubt, plastered
with medals and other 'Popish' idols"

Father Duquesne, S. j., sends from
Tientsin, China, a request for aims
intended to buy bicycles for four ma

will enable the missionaries to make
sick calls with more expedition, and
allow them to reach dying persons in

time to time that Ted, her first born,
