DO THE FRENCH GO TO CHURCH,?

MISSIONS IN ALASKA.

Diocese of Alaska by the Right Rev.
erend bishop Crimont, S. J. In that
vast re lion of about 100000 square
miles, the largest missionary field in
the world, there are only twenty
priests. Think of priest in summer
walking 600 miles, covered with mos
quitoes, his chapel on his back, a
little food to sustain him-depending
on the streams for drink. What an
opportunity for the Little Flower to
fulfill her promise to spend her
heaven doing good on earth
AS the needs are many and the
means few, the Bishop has estab-
lished in Juneau Guild for the Lit
tie Flower" in order to support the
priests, and open schools and hospi-
tails. Anyone wishing to aid in this
work can become member of the
Guild by contributing $1.00 or more a
year. All contributions should be sent

churches, in each of which ! used to
pause to say few prayers. Always,
rain or shine, there were crowds of
devout worshipers thronging the altar
rail; regularly each Sunday morning,
feel sure, several hundred COM
munions were made in those churches
before o'clock.
"Oftentimes a new Mass would be
commenced before all the faithful had
been communicated at the one preced-
ing. This may seem shocking to some,
but the crowds that press our Lord
necessitate it, even though, of course,
the Blessed Sacrament is admins
tered only under one species.
Such times as | was able to attend

on ordinary weekday nights, a COM

Il never passed a parish church
without entering for at least mo-

palians apparently do not believe the
religion of the prayer book, certainly
they do not practice it. Therein lies

A MOTHERS LOVE.

Rev. Alfred Botty, B. F. NJ, of East
Mongolia, in recalling some of the
events connected with the Boxer up
rising about twenty years ago, tells
one story worth repeating. He says:
'Innumerable examples of remark
able heroism shown by these inlet
tered and humble Mongolians could be
cited. Suffice it to give the following:
in the Church of Tsing-yeul an ex-
amplary Christian mother had taken
refuge with her four children, one boy
and three girls. The butchers ap-
preached her, brandishing their great
knives and Sabers. But the mother
held up her hand with commanding
gesture and cried:
Stop, have word to say to you
Impressed by her manner, the MUIR
derers paused.
You wish to kill me- said this new
Maccabeas, and you are free to do SO.
But first have favor to ask of you:
it is that you make me the last victim.
Kill my children first, and then l will
die happy in the knowledge that your
tortures cannot make the poor little
ones deny their faith
"Exasperated, one of the Boxers
plunged his sword through the young
est child SO fiercely that he himself
fell to the ground. Then he withdrew
the weapon and Selling the tiny body
dashed it against the wall of the
church.
He killed the three other children
in the same hideous manner. after
which he despatched the mother with
a single stroke. Her bleeding body
fell over the corpses of her dear little
martyrs as if it would protect them
in death as in life"

THE CHINESE ARE DOING AWAY
WITH THE USURERS.

Getting ahead of the greedy money
lender with his usurious rates is a val
liable thing for the poor of any coun-
try, but to the Chinese it means real
emancipation. For this purpose So
ciety has been formed, consisting Of
numerous circles of thirty members,
in which each person contributes to
the general sum required by the appli-
cant. Thus debt is avoided and we'd
ding and funeral ceremonies need no
longer ruin family for life.
Rev. Father Yer Eecke, B. F. NJ, of
North Kansu, gives US some informa-
ton regarding the new Mutual Benefit
Associations:
The society assists only honest per-
sons and is designed to encourage the
industrious class and keep them from
mourning heavy debts. OF course, it's
methods are strictly Chinese.
ITO illustrate, | will describe the
settlement of dowry. Formerly, the
borrower would have recourse to a
usurer, with the customary results.
Now the father invites thirty friends
to his home, where a simple dinner is
served. This affair always takes place
on the fifteenth of the month for
some reason. The invitation is rarely
disregarded. since the Chinese love So
cieties. Each man promises to bring
the small sum required on the fiji
teenth of the month to the host, who
is thus supplied with the dowry.
The money is not regarded as a
gift. 1t is simply loan for which
credit is given for thirty months, the
creditor paying monthly installments
Every thirty days, therefore, ON the
date affixed the associates meet at al
ternate homes to transact their bust
ness. In China, time is not money.
The formalities of the meetings
would seem childish and fatiguing te
an American, but they are of deepest
interest to these men, who have few
financial affairs with which to interest
themselves.

WHEN HE WRITES HIS LETTERS.

In the little mission of Our Lady of
Victories, in Sierra Leone, is poor
missionary very deserving of assist
ance. For two years and half he
has kept every part of the mission
running, without assistance. Il have
been sacristan, altar bread maker,
teacher, catechist, cook, planter, and
everything else necessary to keep a
mission going he writes. 1T was
impossible for me to have an assistant
because, on account of the war, the
number of missionaries was very linn
tied, so have been very, very busy.
In fact, the only reason / have little
time on my hands to write you this
letter is that | am down sick and
can't leave my bed
There is one way in which you
could help me great deal, and that
is by trying to interest your good
workers in supporting a few catechists
in my mission. l have only one, but
there is work enough for small army
of them. You know they have great
hold on the people because they under
stand them far better than foreigner
can ever hope to. For example, a
native catechist can discover where
the sick people are concealed and can
save many a poor soul at the point of
death with the waters of baptism.
The small sum of four dollars is
enough to support catechist for a
whole month, and can't begin to tell
you the amount of work he is willing
to perform for that Would you be so
good as to try to send me enough to
hire even two Or three for the coming
year,"

NO FALSE PRIDE ABOUT OUR
APOSTLES.

That when missionaries ask for
money, it is not for personal use is
surely known to all Catholics now.
Hungry and ragged they often are,
because when an offering comes there
are so many pressing needs for it that
they can not bear to use it either for
clothes or food.
Not long ago missionary received
little offering with which to purchase
much-needed cassock His old one
was SO patched that the Sisters wrote
they were really ashamed to patch it
any more. Now comes an answer
from this Jealous apostle saying:
You'll forgive me, won't you, if in
stead of buying new cassock spend
the money for far more worthy pur-
pose. can wear my old one very we'll
for the Sisters keep it clean and we'll
patched for me, and there are so many
other things for which l need the
money"
