SEVEN MILLION DIED OF iNFLU
ENZA IN INDIA.

Misery prevails in many parts of the
world but of all the tales of distress
that come to the S. P. F., the most
awful are those penned by the Bish-
ops of India They can scarcely find
words to depict the horrors of the sit
uation.
Archbishop Morel, P. F. NJ, of Pom
dicherry, writes: Help sent us now
means more than anyone can guess.
Famine is upon us, and this after ter
rible ravages made by the Influenza,
no less than seven million natives in
all India having persisted. Each sea-
son the cholera comes to add to our
miseries and this year it has ap-
peared two months earlier than usual.
Water is giving out in the wells, and
mysterious epidemic is attacking
the livestock. Thousands of them
have died
This is a picture of our material
condition, and the moral situation is
hardly better Bolshevikism is infest-
ing the country with all its attendant
horrors and great unrest prevails
everywhere.
May charitable souls remember
poor India

secutions and not religion pure and
simple. AS a matter Of history, the
Vatican at Rome on different occa-
sions sought to put a stop to the in
iquitous inquisitorial office in Spain,
which was upheld by the throne. If
there was ever people who should
disclaim religion, it is the Jews, be-
cause of the prosecutions which they
have suffered in the name of religion,
and yet very religiously and very rev.
erently they will not blame religion as
some do for the ungodliness and inhu-
mainly of some church people. The
well-informed Jew will not even blame
the Church for the Inquisition. The
Jews have had, and have some of their
strongest champions and defenders
among the most ardent religionists.
Leroy Beaulieu, the famous French
savant, who was at the same time "a
devout Catholic, was one of the sin
cerest friends the Jews ever had. He
said the virtues Of the Jews are their
own; while their vices and faults are
traceable to their prosecutions. The
Jews return their compliment by ad-
hitting that many hospitals, asylums
and other benevolent and educational
institutions, which are the centers of
| good in many parts of the world, are
the work of the Church, while the
wrongs and prosecutions are the work
not of religious men but those who
prevent the ideal purpose of religion. .

GAVE IDEAS TO INVENTORS.

Timothy Alden was born in Barn
stable, Mass, SO years ago. He was
the first man to invent typesetting
machine. In his boyhood Timothy was
apprenticed to a printer He was a
born inventor, and almost from his
first day in the printing Office he be-
gan to think of plans for improving
the various processes connected with
the typographical art. He invented
several machines connected with
printing before he turned his attention
to the mechanical setting of type.
After several years of study he pro-
duced his first model of a typesetting
machine in 1896 This machine con-
sisted of horizontal rotating wheel
with type cells on it's circumference
making receivers rotate with it to pick
out the type at the proper places. This
appliance was ingenious, but it effect
ed no Improvement over hand compo-
sition. Timothy Alden died in Boston
in 1858, and his brother, Henry, later
made several improvements in the
machine. Timothy Alden's machine
had the merit of setting others to
thinking about the same problem, with
the result that hand composition is
rapidly becoming a thing of the past

THE BOYS MANNERS.

There are very few men who do not
know that it is proper to raise the
hat when encountering a lady. This
is an accepted courtesy that a boy
learns very early in life. Now the
point is, that if he can absorb this,
why cannot he be made to absorb
other little manners that stamp the
gentleman. Why cannot a boy under
stand almost as soon as he can talk,
that it is proper for gentleman to
stand when a lady enters a room or
addresses him? 1t is appalling to see
the really mic boys who are natur-
ally courteoe.s sitting down on country
club porches, in hotel corridors, ETC.,
while girls approach them for word
or two. If they do rise, 1t is often
unwillingly as if some one were prod
ding them, but they did not quite
know whether they should or not.
There IS none of that alacrity that
stamps the man of the world to whom
these little niceties come so easily.
The question of precedence must
worry lot of men to see the way
they hesitate about it when out with
a girl. If they would just keep in
mind the basic fact that a man only
precedes a woman when there is
something he must attend to, to seek
out seats in theatre or church, to pro
tect her from crowd, ETC., he would

MOTHER COLOMBO APPEALS FOR
HER LEPERS.

Mother Marie Colombo, F. M. NJ, is
now on her way to Rome to attend the
general meeting of her congregation.
Shortly before she left her work in
the Bikasaki Leper Hospital, Japan,
she wrote this letter:
THE number of applicants to our
asylum increases every year, and we
are now obliged to refuse admittance
to many; we make it a rule to take
those in the most advanced stages OF
leprosy, or those near death. When
we send the poor sufferers back to
their wretched homes we have cate
chist call upon them to give them
nourishment and consolation.
Recently one of our women help
ers visited a wretched household OF
this kind. The father had just died
being baptized during his last mo-
ments, and the mother was near heI
end. She accepted the grace of our
religion and made a good preparation
for death. But alas, there was a child
/ of two years left alone in the hut and
it was a hard problem to dispose OF
her.
Our buildings need enlarging and
many repairs, for the white ants have
gotten into the wood and rendered il
unsafe in places. Religion-the hope
of future happiness-is the one bright
ray in the dark life of the leper. Fol
them we are bold to ask aims that al

This, TOO, SHALL PASS AWAY"

A mighty monarch, in the days of old
Made offer of high honor, wealth and

To one who should produce, in form
concise,
A motto for his guidance, terse. yet
wise
A precept soothing in his hours for

Yet one that in his prosperous days
would warn
Many the maxims sent the King, men
say
The one he chose: This. too, shall
pass away"
O Jewel sentence from the mind of
Truth,
What riches it contains for age or
youth.
No stately epic, measured or sublime,
So comforts or so counsels for all time
As these few words-Go write them
on your heart,
And make them of your daily life a
part
Has some misfortune fallen to your
lot?
This. too, shall pass away"-absorb
the thought
And wait; your waiting will not be in
vain.
Time gilds with gold the iron link of
pain.
The dark today leads into bright to-
morrow;
There is no endless joy, no endless
sorrow
Are you upon earth's heights? No
clouds in view?
Go read your motto, once again; This
too,
Shall pass away"-Fame, Glory Place
and Power
They are but little baubles of the
Flung by the ruthless years down in
Take warning and be worthy of Gods
trust,
Use we'll your prowess while it lasts,
leave bloom,
Not blight, to mark the footprints to
the tomb.
The truest greatness lies in being
kind,
The truest wisdom in happy mind.
He who desponds, his Makers judg-
ment mocks
The gloomy Christian is a paradox
Only the sunny soul respects its God
Since life is short, we need to make it
broad.
Since life is brief, we need to make it
bright,
Then keep the old Kings motto well
in sight,
And let it's meaning permeate each
day,
Whatever comes-"This, too, shall

A MATTER OF TASTE.

The Rev. P. H. Casey, S. j., in the
course of sermon intended primarily
for the instruction of Catholic working
girls has a word or two on the artifice
of dress that inspires or should inspire
sober reflection: Some say" remarks
the preacher, that dress is a matter
of custom. The true Catholic girl
makes it also a matter of conscience.
Indeed, her two safest guides are good
taste and a good conscience. Do not
be led astray by the example of those
who dress as if they had no soul to
save or reputation to lose. By dress
ing foolishly you catch only the fool
ish. The wise are on their guard. Is
it not the appreciation of the wise that
you should be eager to secure, and
above all, the appreciation of God and
of your own conscience? There is lit
tie joy in having gathered a garland
of roses when you look upon your
hands and find them torn and bleed
ing. Bleeding hands are nothing to a
bleeding heart-a heart left bleeding
all through it's own folly.
Live up to the dictates of your
religion, live up to the dictates of your
own good conscience, live up to the
counsel given you by father and by
mother and confessor You will then
walk in the safe, open way. 1t may
not be as broad as other ways, nor at
the entrance as smooth, but it is the
way that leads to life and not to
death, the way that leads to joy and
not to pain, the way that leads to the
things that are of value when the
petals shall have fallen from the roses
and the lights grow dim and you &c
forth alone to the home of your eter
nifty. For the silver cord shall be
broken and the golden fillet shrink
back, and the mourners shall &C
