narrow religious prejudice and bitter

we shall be drawn nearer to each

THE POOR kATklRIs.

Perhaps we do not think enough
about the needs of India. The country
is desperately poor. 1t is said that
many of the natives never know dur
the course of a long life what one
good meal is like. Starvation is
chronic, and the missionary, in such
conditions, must be correspondingly
poor.
One of the trying districts is among
the Katkiris, a very wild mountain
people, considered criminals by the
government. Father j.. Gotta of the
Kuna mission, Bombay, is trying, not
without success, to improve these ma
tives, and in a letter he says:
"A shed to accommodate a hundred
Katkiris, and facilitate the work of
their conversion, would not cost a
large amount. The present war has
almost completely stopped the contri-
buttons from Europe, with which our
work has been hitherto carried on.
Unless the Catholics of America can
supply u needs, there seems little
hope Of expanding the mission, Every

ANOTHER CHURCH NEEDED FOR
THE PHILIPPINES.

Rev. Richard Knight asks US to pub
lish this letter:
Il am striving to build a new church.
The present structure is nothing but
a miserable shack; it cannot be called
a church, for it is only an apology for
me-. In fact, it is not good enough
to be called a cow she'd 1t is made
of bamboo and nipa, with a cogan
grass roof. During the rainy season,
that is, from May until November, it is
usually two or three inches under
water, and if it happens to be raining,
during a church ceremony water drips
down through the roof on to the altar
table and on to our heads. 1t is
worse than miserable, it is simply
wretched, and still a priest must be
here, for there are II, 500 souls to be
cared for.
''The people are all poor, and can
do nothing to help build a respectable
church. l have a little sum in hand,
but need help to erect a cement build
ing. Surely all ardent lovers of the
Blessed Sacrament and the Sacred
Heart will be only too anxious to help
us out of the difficulty, and to build a
structure worthy at least to be called
a church"

the charity and s~elf-sacritice of u
people have been received in the SUBJ
stantial form at the Office of the So
ciety. The rich have given of their
abundance, but those not so favored
with the riches of this world and the
poor especially have been most gen
erous. A husband and wife in n
of our northern states who run a little
country grocery store, have a mission
mite box in their humble little shop
and every night 10 cents is dropped
into the box for the poor African Mis-
sions. Besides which the worthy shop
lady carries on an active propaganda
for subscriptions to THE Negro Child
magazine.
With but few exceptions all the par
ish schools in st. Louis and many all
owe the United States have responded
generously to the appeals in favor of
Africa, the most needy of all Foreign
Missions. One of the poorest parish
schools of st. Louis not far from the
leyee, attended by children of various
nationalities, among whom we even
find Chinese children, sent an order
for 5S5 copies of "The Negro Child"
to be delivered to them monthly. Be-
sides this, the ambition of every room
in the school is to get enough pennies
and dimes together to make a Bap-
tismal OFFERINGS; all the children
are also collecting tinfoil.
We could cite many more touching
and heroic examples of the ~self-sacri-
fee of our parish school children-all
worthy of imitation by their better
circumstanced brothers and sisters. A
very shining example among the lat
ter is an academy in the vicinity of
st. Louis, which we trust will prove a
stimulant to others. The pupils of this
particular academy sent the Sodality
of st. Peter Claver an Easter gift of
500, to be disposed of as follows: $50
for the first years support of an Afri-
a Seminarian; $40 for eight baptis-
NAL gifts and $40 membership dues as
promoters of the society. This acade-
my has also adopted a black catechist,
in addition to many other gifts in kind.
May others follow where these have
led.

Catholic sources. . They gener-

And Rev. T. r. Thompson, Congre-

HER COURSE TOO QUICKLY RUN.

Africa must proceed more slowly
than the Far East in obtaining native
priests and native nuns. But that does
not mean that a hopeful beginning has
not been made. Sometimes the lives
of these religious are all too short.
Not long ago Father Flottat of West
Africa wrote that the first native sis
ter of his districtShad been protested.

and had great influence over the wom-
en- and children of the mission. Father
Flottat was looking forward to man.

ing and good example, but Gods ways

left her earthly work unfinished and
went to Heaven to spend the feast of
the Sacred Heart with her Divine
Spouse, for Whom she had worked so
earnestly and faithfully ever since she
had been made a Christian.

THEY MUST STAY TO DINNER.

Pastors in this country would find
it a tax on the larder if they had to
keep their congregations for dinner.
The late Rev. j! Steeneman, B. F. NJ,
with a residence at Kuldja, Suiting.
China, wrote before his death:
In my mission there are no towns
nor even any villages. The peasants
do not live in groups, but widely scat
tered, and each on his own bit of land.
"On Sunday the Christians come to
Mass, but we must feed them, for
many have travelled long distances.
The children attend school, but here
again the mission must give them

You are setting an example which
we may all be proud to follow in the
care and devotion with which your

and His Church to your boys. And
your men in the ranks are showing in
a wonderful way the power which re-

. MATCHES MADE IN CHINA.

They have methods of their own in
the Celestial Empire for making
matches. AS often as not the future
bride and bridegroom are affianced in
their respective nurses arms, and the
little b~ride-elect, bought for a small
sum of her parents, is packed off to
her mother-in-law when about five or
six years old, to be the drudge in the
household of her future husband!
Failing these arrangements, how
eve there is the professional match
maker, the Mei-jen, as he is called,
who takes on the delicate task of max
ing marriages in the most obliging
fashion, and only earning a few pias-
tres if the negotiations succeed, in
which case the interested parties will
stand" him a dinner and invite him
to the wedding.

AFRICAN LEPERS.

There is a leper hospital at Betsa-

than a hundred patients. Father Lee
breton, o. M. l., looks after its spiritual
needs, and he says that of all the chill
dren given him in the mission he loves
these poor u%nfortunates the most. He
writes:
Conversions are frequent among
the lepers. Poor sufferers! am sure
no creatures in the world are so de
serving of pity as they. Their sores
are frightful, their pains atrocious,
but great, also, is their resignation,
and therefore their merit. Religion
brings them true consolation, and with
the aid of the sacraments they are
able to look beyond the trials Of this
world and see the glory of the next"

THE BEST is GIVEN TO THE
MISSIONS.

After killing the two Oblate mis-
sionaries, Father Rouviere and Father
LIE Roux, the Eskimos returned to
cannibalism, hacked open the bodies
of their victims, secured their livers
and devoured them while still warm
been some time in the Arctic region,
but it was only a year since Father
LIE RouX had left his seminary at Liege
in order to come to Good Hope, there
to take up the difficult apostolate of
the North. This young priest was
possessed of most brilliant talents. 1t
was. said that his superiors had hest
tated long as to where he should be
placed; some wished to retain him in
Europe as a professor of philosophy
or theology, while others maintained
that it was best to follow the almost
universal custom of the congregation,
which is that it must send to the
farthest and most difficult missions it's
best endowed members.
Another point was that Father LIE
RouX had a great deal of natural pene-
t~ration, and was especially gifted in
learning strange languages. Phys
ically he was also we'll fitted for the
task, as he was tall, strong and yet
alert. Altogether he was considered
a good subject for the Vicariate Apos-
tolic of the Mackenzie region, and it
was the destiny of this young priest
to follow Father Rouviere to the little
hut under the pines and there meet
the death that ended so prematurely
his promising career.

FOLLOWING CUSTOMS THEY Do
NOT UNDERSTAND.

Peculiar ceremonies attend the birth
of children in all pagan countries.
Those of the Fiji Islands are described
by our correspondent, Father Guinard:
when a babe is born, if a boy, it is
forbidden to put him on mats; hay
must be his first bed. If a girl, she is
allowed the use of the mats.
"After about two hours comes the
opening of the babes digestive organs.
For this they take a raw banana Tin
this state bananas are full of bitter
iuice), squash it, introduce the juice
into the child's mouth and open, so
they believe, his throat and stomach.
Three days after the birth of a
boy. four after that of a girl, the babe
is bathed solemnly.
For the bath they use a great
wooden or earthen dish lined with
broad leaves. They fill it with water,
put in it prawns, small fishes, a root
tree. A nurse then takes the child
and sits near the water. All the men
in the town when the newly born is
of 'cago' and leaves of a Towering
a boy, and all the women when it is
a girl, sit in a circle round her. They
unite their hands SO that the thumb
of one touches the little finger of the
other and place them under the babe.
''They sing an old song with four
stanzas. At the end of the first, Sec
ond and third stanza the people lower
their hands to the water, but do not
touch it. At the fourth they dip their
hands. The old oma lowers the
child, and it's wailings let the people
know that the little one does not like
disturbing fish.
The Fijians are most faithful in
observing their ceremonies. | have
tried to find the meaning of them.
They say that they inherited their GUS
toms from their ancestors, and keep
them without knowing why"
