EVEN PAGANS LIKE TO ASSIST
AT CHURCH PROFESSIONS.

Perhaps nothing emphasizes the
progress of Christianity in China, and
the great liberty the Church now en-.
joys there than the freedom with
which public religious professions are
held.
Rev. Joseph M. Gerenton, o. F. M.
says that in the district of Pingtu
Shantung, the feast of Corpus Christ
ives celebrated with great splendor in
his mission. There were two reposi
tories for the Blessed Sacrament anC
a long procession. Not only do Chris
tians assist, but pagans come fol
miles around to see the. sight. They
bring their children, arrive the day
before and camp out patiently unit
the hour Of the ceremony arrives. In
deed, these occasions are getting tt
be regarded as events to be looked
forward to. and the attitude of all il

A MISSIONARY STRIKES FOR
TEMPERANCE.

The Jaffna Catholic prints this in
teresting bit of temperance news:
"A remarkable boycott by Catho-
lies is in progress at Bassein, Bombay
Presidency In the Bassein taluka
there are about $4,000 Catholics, main
ly agriculturists, with a good number
of carpenters and shipwrights. They
are not teetotallers. Thriving on the
produce of their farms, orchards and
gardens and of their manual skill,
they in turn patronized also the toddy
vendor. The Government recently
changed the system of licensing shops,
leading to enormous increases in
revenue, that naturally put up also
the retail prices of liquor. Rev. P.
J. Moniz, a wide-awake padre, struck
the iron while it was hot. When pop
ular indignation over the vendors
avarice was at white heat, the Cath
olics were assembled at the Church
of Our Lady of Grace, Papri, and there
they solemnly resolved to eschew all
spirituous drink as they would the
evil spirit himself. The boycott has
caught on, other parishes are follow
ing suit, and once temperance has the
backing of public opinion, half it's
battle is won

ILLNESS AND DEATH IN THE
HEBRIDES- ISLANDS.

1t is the belief of the natives of
New Hebrides that death is never the
result of natural causes, but comes
at the instance of All enemy or a bad
spirit. An enemy who wishes to bring
sorcery to bear upon a person may
cause sudden death, lingering death
or may content himself with mere
illness.
When an individual is suspected OF
having evil influence, accusations fol
low and vengeance is usually satisfied
only with life for a life.
The spirit of an ancestor may also
cause many bodily ills and sometimes
the spirit insists on calling the
afflicted one to the other world
The pagan custom is to bury the
body in the hut it occupies when alive
The corpse is wrapped in a great mum.
Der of mats; the grave is dug and
lined with leaves on which the body
is placed; more leaves cover it and
the grave is then filled with earth.
Formerly, the immediate relatives
of the deceased covered head, face
and body with cinders mixed with
water as sign of their bereavement
but this custom has almost entirely
disappeared.

THE BEST WAY OF REMEMBER.
ING THE DEAD.

More and more Catholics, we are
glad to notice, are beginning to realize
the folly of covering the poor lifeless
remains of their dear ones with ex-
pensive floral offerings. These are
being replaced by Spiritual Bouquets,
Prayers, Communions, Masses, and
grateful the Poor Souls in Purgatory
must be for these beautiful, fragrant
blossoms!
The poor missionaries, too, are ben
Gifted by the Mass stipends, especially
in these war times when it means
such struggle to keep the various
mission works going.
Therefore, we beg our Promoters,
especially, and all our other friends
to use their influence when they hear
of collections being taken up for flow
ers for the dead to have this money
converted into Mass stipends, thus
affording the greatest possible relief
to the departed soul and at the same
time enabling the missionary, who re
ceives the stipends, to carry on oul
Lords work-the saving of souls.

she does shrink from ill-digested sug-
gestions and plans doomed to ultimate
disappointment that are reposed, not
on stable prop, but upon the flimsy
support of transient favor. Not be-
cause she totters under the weight
of the centuries she has endured is
she out of step with certain hurrying
passes of the moment, but because
her very age has kept her in intimate
relation with all the feeting fancies
of the beguiled children of the race
who love to play with toys that are
soon cast aside does she feel COM
petent to draw upon her time-tried
wisdom to address opportune warn
ing to every day and nation. Not
| because novelties are proposed, but
because the recommendation take no
account of the fundamental principles
that rule human life must the Catholic
Church betimes raise her voice in pro-
test

history to learn the true and I'M
escapable rules of right education.

THE GOOD INTENTION OF A
HUNGRY CHILD.

1t was announced sometime ago that
Bishop Vuysteke, o. p, had organized
the S. P. F. in his very poor vicariate
of Curacao. How nobly even the little
ones have responded is shown by a
letter just received from Father
Krugers:
Last week I gave my school chill
dren chance to become members of
the Society for the Propagation of
Faith On account of the great pow
erty in our parishes the Bishop al
lowed us to receive the contribution
to half-penny a month.
''As soon as the children understood
the advantage and the purpose of the
Society and that they would be able
to buy some heather baby to be bap-
tized a Catholic, the enthusiasm was
great. Then the idea of receiving a
document of membership with a Cross
in it and their own name underneath
made them proud. Z.
atsChildren are like sheep. If. one
gets over the bridge, the rest will
soon follow. Before school time they
began to arrive, their shining black
faces shining the more this time.
Each one kept his or her half-penny
in the open hand, eager to be the first
in offering the treasure. The Sister
received the contribution with a
friendly word to each of them.
but there was one little tot who
kept at a distance, but at last stepped
forward to offer also her gift. She
laughed through her white teeth. She
seemed to be glad to get rid of her
treasure, and to see it safe. 1t had
drawn my attention that her little
face looked very thin, but there are
SO many of that kind among them.
1t was near twelve o'clock and
Juanita's little face became smaller
and smaller. The smile was no longer
to be- seen. But at twelve O'Clock
when the children were. dismissed and

something to aeat, some with hall

systems to which so many of the
pedagogues of the present turn with
senseless appreciation. Whatever the
teaching bodies of these various ages
have to contribute are accidental
adornments, adding external shape
Illness perhaps, but adjoining nothing
to the authoritative prescriptions of
the Divine Teacher, Jesus Christ, who
having kneaded the soul-substance of
humanity and fashioned the mind Of
the enunciation of the safe and I'M
failing plan of mental and spiritual
development. Lest anyone be in
duced to object, before we investigate
the educational suggestions of the
Saviour as they refer to the youth of
the world, that distortion is plac-
ed upon His words and acts when
one would attempt to connect
His religious activities with what has
come to be regarded as a purely non
religious or secular experience of man
kind, this matter of education, let it
be answered that the distortion is
not of our creation since it is modern
insistence that divides the soul into
unbridged sections and not the in
tention of Him for whom all the agen-
cies of the universe were to be as
instruments for the salvation of the
race of man.
