A BOAT FOR MISSIONARIES AT
THE END OF THE WORLD.

The expression lend of the world
applies we'll to the islands of the
Tonga Archipelago, in the Oceanic
group. They are separated from us
by an enormous distance and little is
known of their exact locality.
But the Marist Fathers have found
them out and are struggling bravely
to plant Christianity in their tropical
jungles. Scattered in the wastes of
the Pacific Ocean, as the islands are,
the priests must go from station to
station in boats. Sometimes these
are steamboats,, again sailing vessels,
or even small skiffs. Many difficulties
are encountered, and the only way to
save the missionaries time and money
is to provide them with transportation
of their own.
FIR. Mace would like sail boat, and
indeed this has become real neces-
sity. The priests can manage and re-
pair it themselves, and once purchas-
ed, it would be practically no expense
for it's upkeep.
If few persons would contribute
more or less generously the amount
could be forwarded to the mission and
some faithful apostles made happy.

Clergy Protest Tax.-Cincinnati
clergymen of various faiths strongly
protested Saturday against a proposal
to tax church property to make up the
revenue lost through Prohibition legis-
lation. Rev. Bernard Moeller, brother
of the Archbishop and Chancellor of
the Archdiocese, was quoted as fol-
lows on the subject: Taxation of
church property would do a great
wrong. The church is more or less
work of charity, and places of educa-
ton, religion and charity always have
been exempt from taxation" An
estimate, just made, places the total
value of church property in Hamilton
County (now exempt from taxi as
1OO,OO0,OO0, divided approximately as
follows: Catholic, $64,000,000; Prot
estant, $32,OO0,OOO; Jewish, $4,000,000.

WHEN THE coNGo'S FIRST
PRIEST WAS ORDAINED.

Perhaps the most important day
that has ever dawned in the history
OF the Upper Congo mission was that
of year ago last July, when young
native, the product of careful training
on the part of the White Fathers, be-
came a priest of the Most High.
What did this mean for the apostles
who have cultivated this difficult field?
What did it mean for the poor Blacks
who had struggled in spiritual dark
ness for SO many centuries ?-more
than we in Europe and America can
understand
Early in the morning of that event
full day the bells of the cathedral at
Baudoinville rang out in triumphant
clarion. Not only were the priests
and their flock interested in the func-
ton about to take place, but the civil
and military authorities we're also
eager to participate in ceremonies
that meant such a great stride ahead
in civilization as well as religion.
The mission buildings, outside and
inside, presented a gala appearance.
For three weeks the nuns had been
busy making banners and festoons for
decorations, and quantities Of SPLEEN

"The love and veneration of the Vir-
gin Mary plays an important part in

aside from this, one cannot help
but feel that the enforcement OF the
Virgin Mary has softened the heart
of the world toward womanhood; that
it has done much to give woman the
place of honor she occupies today;
that it has put the whole Catholic
Church behind the sanctity of the
home. In the respect given to Mary
the Roman Church has paid the
worlds finest and most delicate COM
pliment to the grace, sweetness, and
beauty of motherhood.
''Nor do l discover any difficulty in
understanding the basis of the confes-
sional. The confessional appears
everywhere in life. The erring child
confesses to it's mother, the patient
confesses to the physician, the ac-
cused confesses to his lawyer, the pen
itent confesses to his priest. 1t is
most natural for the penitent, bur-
dened, doubling soul to confide in its
spiritual leader.
eve may rail against the paroch.
ial school system as being un-Ameri-
can. But the Roman Church existed
centuries before there was United
States, and for many of these cen.
turtles she was the great agency of en-
lightenment, education and culture.
"And so we stand in the presence
of her history, her majestic worship
her universal ministry, and we con
fess that God must have moved
nightly in all this. We think of her
Loyolas, her Xaviers, her Fenelons
and her Marquettes; we look at her
hospitals, orphanages, schools, col
leges, monasteries, missions-and we
see a Church ministering to the body
mind and soul Of humanity. He1

human organization; her strength is
of God"

Moving Picture of "Christus."-The
great moving picture film "Christus"
has not yet reached here, but we have
seen it praised in British papers as
exquisitely beautiful and edifying, says
the Fortnightly Review. The "Civilta
Cattolica" does not share this opinion.
Our esteemed Roman contemporary
says: 1.-THE 'Christus' film is played
up as one of the best sacred represen-
tations ever offered. This is not. so.
The production may be said to be
tolerable, since it shows due despect
to sacred persons; but it is far from
having the perfection attributed to it
by the public. It might have ap-
preached perfection had the manufac-
turers had the good sense to engage,
or at least to consult, Biblical scholar
in the production of the play
Roman Sister Nurse.-Italy mourns
the death of three notable Catholics.
One of these, one of the best known
nuns of Rome has passed away in the

son of Sister GonZaga of the Sis
tiers of ST. Vincent de Paul, who
for many years had been known
to the sick and poor OF Rome
and loved by ALL She was in her
sixty-fourth year and died veritable
martyr to duty. On account of her
age and her long service, she was re-
tired to the mother house for rest and
quiet preparation for eternity. But
when the war broke out she insisted
on going back to nurse-this time the
soldiers-and to visit and comfort
their families. She succumbed to her
work in the hospital where she had
worked so long.

Bruees Unearths Paintings.-Bruges,
Belgium, is rejoicing over her deliver
ance. On Sunday the Bishop of
Bruges, Mgr. Waffelaert, celebrated a
Solemn Mass of Thanksgiving in the
Cathedral of st. Sauveur. After the
Mass a procession went through the
streets to the Grand Palace and be-
meath the historic belfry intoned the
''Te Deum," followed by the "Braban-
come" and Flemish canticles. The
streets we're decorated for the occa-
sion. A notable restoration will take
place in a few days. The celebrated
pictures of Memling depicting the life
of st. Ursula, which adorn her shrine
in the Hospital of st. Jean, and the
celebrated Won Eyck from the museum,
all of which were coveted by the Ger
mans, the former for their own
Church of st. Ursula in Cologne, will
be restored to their original places.
They had been carefully hidden in Gel
lars during the occupation.

A MISSION IN MUD.

Needless to say that this mission,
whose buildings are mostly modelled
in mud, is located in India, where the
walls of the native buildings are large
ly made of that material, and the roofs
of straw or palm leaves. The writer
of the letter is Rev. Paul Feron, S. j.,
who says to the S. P F.:
"Ginabahar MISSION was started in
1907. The first priest lived in a canvas
tent for several years and finally got
permission from the Rajah to build
hut and later on a larger dwelling.
Besides our house we have mud
pro-cathedral, where we can accom-
modate a thousand people, and both
both boys and girls schools = mud
buildings. In thousand square miles
district we also possess one mud chap
ell and two mud schools in construc-
ton. Such is the material position.
"The spiritual side of the picture is
fairly encouraging, for in 1918 we have
flock of $4,000 souls. Of these, 49,,
900 are already baptized and doing
good work with the others. We have
opened new bungalow schools, which
are very successful.
ITO visit, direct and instruct our
Christians we are two Jesuit Fathers
and everything has still to be organ
lied in this new mission, SO full oil

take the habit of the Daughters of st
Anne very soon, and several boys are
studying in st. Johns High School
Ranchi; more would be educated, boil
at Ranchi and Ginabahar, if we coulC
afford to keep them. SO we need {
| little encouragement to sustain us while
putting the mission on a foundation
| that shall enable it to reclaim many
souls from Indian superstition"

did tropical flowers added to the
beauty of the scene.
At six o'clock in the morning the
first onslaught of the eager Christians
was made on the cathedral. Many of
the natives, led by their chiefs, had
come a six days journey. In fact, all
the roads leading to the mission had
been filled with caravans for a week
past. Never had so many Blacks been
united for any purpose.
The Governor also appeared with
the High Commissioner and several
military officers. Altogether, the
young priest had every reason to be
proud of the honors paid him.
