A SUGGESTION.

If you are anxious to send some lit
tie gift to a poor Mission, and still do
not know exactly what to send, if you
will communicate with the Catholic
Church Extension Society they will be
able to make several suggestions,
which may prove helpful to you.
The Extension Society receives so
many appeals from needy Missionaries
for donations to build a church or
school, or for church goods, that it is
an easy matter to pick out some spe-
cial need that could be taken care OF
by your donation.
The Society has served as the chan
mel of the donations of many generous
persons, and they have always been
satisfied with our selection of place
or gift to which their generous dOna-
ton was assigned.
If you are interested in the needs
of the Home Missions, why not get in
touch with the Catholic Church Elk
tension Society, $50 Mccormick Bldg,
Chicago, H., and see what you can
do?

but, rich as she is in person, she
is richer in truth; her worship is a
great deep. Hidden sanctities and
meanings surround man; the sacra'
mental principle invests the simplest
things, acts and rites with an awful
yet blissful significance; turns all
worship into a divine parable, which
speaks the deep things of God, now
into a medium of His gracious and
consolatory approach to man, and
mans awed and contrite, hopeful and
prevailing approach to Him. Sym
bols are deeper than words; speak
when words become silent; gain
where words lose in meaning; and SO
in hours of hottest worship the
Church teaches by symbols truth

RICE AND THE CHINESE.

1t is generally thought that the
Chinese live on rice. SO they used
to lin happier times), and so they
would like to do now, if they
could get the rice. But famine, caused
by one affliction or another, is so COM
mon and the price of rice SO high that
they are beginning to forget what
their staple food used to be.
Father Durand, a Franciscan mis-
siOnary in Shantung, states that some
of the poor people scarcely get a bowl
of rice once year. Sorgo cakes are
their chief food. These are very
coarse, as the sorgo flour is mixed
with chaff. Sometimes they have
cakes made of millet and on rare oc
casions wheat is used. The poor peo
pie eat but two meals day and even
the rich eat sparingly, for fear thei1
money may not hold out AS for the
dogs, their appearance is sure in
dication of the wealth or poverty oil
village; in the poor districts they
are walking skeletons.

A MISSIONARIES EXPERIENCES.

The Rev. Henry McGrath, a Paul
list missionary, writes to the EXten-
sion Magazine, of his experiences as
director of the Chapel car st. Paul,
in the interior of Louisiana. From
the incidents narrated, no one need
doubt the missionary's assertion that
st is difficult to kill prejudice"
Since most of it comes from ignor-
ance, and enlightenment must pro-
coed slowly, the preachers task is not
always an easy one. In one of the
towns visited, Father McGrath per-
severed in instructing a trio of Catho-
lies in the pronunciation Of the Latin
hymns necessary for Benediction,
which was given twice to the assem-
bled congregation.
The sacred ceremony was, of
course, new to the community, and
the chaplain explained its idea and
doctrine as simply and as thoroughly
as he knew how. He was afterwards
approached by group of four, how
ever, and asked to explain how it was
that when he held up the clock, the
bell struck three?"
The clock was the monstrance
containing the Blessed Sacrament!
Expounders of Christian Doctrine
nearer home ought not to be discour-
aged by the effect, or lack of effect, of
their instruction. No single Sunday
school holds all the 'slow-of-grasp,"
any more than Africa holds the worlds
supply of solid ivory.

GROWTH OF THE MISSIONARY
SPIRIT.

Nothing is more remarkable, in
these strenuous times, than the fact
that neither wars, nor famine, nor
death, is able to quench the mission
airy spirit that is manifesting itself
in remarkable manner in different
parts of the world. In spite of every
disorder, new societies devoted to
the mission cause are springing ur
and new ardor is being shown ny
those at home as we'll as those in the
field.
Italy has now taken a step in this
direction. Rev. FIR. Mamma, editor of
the Italian Catholic Missions, and
Mgr. Conforti, Bishop of Parma, have
founded an institution called The
Clergy Missionary Association, which
is specially intended to aid foreign
missions. The new association has
the appreciation of the Holy Father.
and nifty Cardinals and Bishops have
given it their support.
Mgr. Conforti founded a seminary
at Parma some years ago. There has
also been a foreign mission seminary

THE SCHOOL QUESTION IN
CURACAO.

The school question is one that
troubles the missionaries of Curacao,
in the West Indies. Dominican Faith
ers have charge of the schools. One
OF their number, Rev. G. M. Dahlhaus,
o. P, writes to the Propagation of
the Faith to see if it's numerous
friends will not spare a little help for
him. He says of the conditions on
his island:
Most of the Indian and colored
people are very, very poor and can
not pay penny for the school train
ing of their children. But everyone
will understand that it is entirely
necessary, especially in a mission
that the poor little ones come to
school if they are to have religious
and moral education.

it was not until we visited the vari-

Vanced that they were no longer able
to walk; they were lying on their
cots waiting for death to come to

sometimes in spite of their bandages,
looked like horrid, partially decom-
posed ca1avers. 1t was a sight to
make one shudder and devoutly hope
that cure for this awful disease may
5oon be discovered. These extreme
cases are cared for carefully and their

the hospital wards, we were not sor-

from the colony, we were compelled
to wade through shallow box of

we must endeavor, by purifying our
motives and desires, to render our
selves more worthy of His favor. Then
we may hope, by fervent, persevering
prayer, to move His mercy and obtain
the blessing, which we so badly need,
of a Just and lasting peace
Nor is it for the general peace of
the world only that we should sue.
We have troubles and unrest and ex-
element and dangers here at home
which render domestic peace neces-
sary. Whether it be due to the demon
aliZatiOn which this world war has
brought to almost every country, or to
the fate which seems to hang over our
own unhappy country, blasting her
hopes when they seem to brighten, an
agitation has sprung up and is spread
ing among our people which, ill-consid-
cred and Utopian, cannot fail, if perse-
vered in, to entail present suffering,
disorganization and danger, and is
sure to end in future disaster, defeat
and collapse.
And all this is in pursuit of a dream
which no man in his sober senses can
hope to see realized: the establish
ment of an Irish republic, either by an
appeal TO the pOtentates Of Europe
seated at peace conference, or an
appeal to force by hurting an unarmed
people against an empire which has

struction which human ingenuity
could devise. The thing would be
ludicrous if it were not so mischiev-
Gus and fraught with such danger,
when cleverly used as an incentive to
fire the imagination of an ardent, gen.
erous, patriotic people.
We have, therefore, need of peace.
Peace among the warning nations,
which will bring relief to so many suf-
fering peoples; peace at home, which
will enable us to unite quietly, prll-
IDENTIFY and perseveringly in consult
ing for the best interests of our com
mon country. If men, by their de.
signs, their conflicting interests, their
mistaken views, stand in the way of
this blessing Of peace, we should have
recourse to the Prince of Peace, be.
seeching Him, through the interces.

us both general and domestic peace;

surpasseth all understanding; peace
with God, peace with ourselves, and

INFiDEL PRAISES LITTLE CATE

Jouffroy, one of the representatives
of infidel philosophy, could not but

There Is a little book which chill

the human race, he knows; whittier it
goes, he knows. Ask this little child
why it is here below, what will hap
pen to it after death, he will give
you a truly sublime answer, which
he does not fully understand, but
which is none the less admirable.
ASK him how the world has been
created and for what purpose; why
God has placed animals and plants

peopled, whether by one family or by
many, why people speak in divers

MISSION NOTES.

Ireland is becoming very much
awake to the needs of foreign mis-
sions, and her sons will soon swell
the number of English-speaking
priests destined for the apostolic vo-
cation. The Lyons African Mission
aries have long had a house in Cork,
and their work is well established.
We have also announced the recent
formation of a Society for Chinese
missions. Now the Mill Hill Fathers
of England have secured private
house at Waterford, and efforts are
concentrated on providing the furni-
ture necessary to make a College of
it. At present students attend the
classes at st. Johns Seminary in the
city. The new undertaking is made
in response to the cali for more
