PALM SUNDAY BAPTIsMs IN DE
VAsTATED FRANCE.

Palm Sunday at Vic-surAisne was
made unforgettable to the members OF
the unit by the privilege of new and
very intimate approach into the lives
of our French friends and neighbors
writes Esther Braley, of the American
Committee for Devastated France
We thought we had been admitted
into most of their experiences before
We had been with them in sickness
and in health; through births and
deaths; we have clothed and fed them
and given our sympathy in all sorts of
suffering, but when Dr. Kelly told us

So the plan was made that twelve
babies should have special baptismal
service in our lovely church, lovely in
spite of it's scars of war, at two o'clock
on Palm Sunday. Each baby was to

Monsieur lie Doyen Tetard, the
dean, our friend and adviser, was
pleased with the plan and entered into
it with appreciation of our point of

them to be present and gave the COM

JEW DIED WITH CRUClFIx ON
LIPS.

In the muddy shell-gnarled fields of
Flanders last September a chaplain
swashed his way through wire en-
tanglementS to console the wounded
men of his regiment scattered here
and there along the uneven ground to
find buddies who had gone west. Sud
denly the priest bent down near the
killed by several machine gun bullets.
The priest recognized the boy-a
Jew, and across his lips was a small
silver crucifiX which the soldier had
placed there in his dying agony.
The story of the crucifiX, the man
ner in which the Jew came to embrace
the Christian faith ten hours before
he went over the top, and a pictur-
esque story of the regiment was told
recently in the ball room of a New
York Hotel to an audience of women
and girls by the chaplain. He
is the Rev Pierre E. Hoey of the
Paulist Order. His regiment was the
10th Infantry of the 9th Division.
1T was late in September when we
got the big news" said Father Hoey,
that the outfit was going over the
top. Everyone was in good spirits,
and l heard about 700 confessions and
arranged for a Mass the day before
the zero hour. l shall always remem-
Der the service" said the priest.
THE men kneeled about five rows
deep when | gave them Communion. l
had almost finished when Jewish lad
whom | had observed fervently pray
ing during the Mass, caught my at
tention. He was lined up with the
other men, When I came up to him,
l paused and said that his faith did
not allow him to receive Communion
"'But | have been attending all your
Masses, father, and honestly believe
the bread in the chalice is the body
and blood of Jesus Christ Please
give me Communion, pleaded the
boy
The priest then told his audience
how he asked the young lad to come
and see him after the Mass and they
would talk the matter over. The sol
der arrived promptly at the chap
lain's tent. Father Hoey said he had
a real heart to heart talk with the
Jew, and he was SO convinced of the
soldiers conversion that he baptized
him, heard his first confession and
gave him his first Holy Communion.
That afternoon while Father Hoey
was taking charge of some of the sol
diers' mail, his convert came in to chat

WASHINGTON Irving must have

Washington Irving must have
known the full and abiding faith OF
the true mother heart when he wrote:
"A father may turn his back on his
child, brothers and sisters may be-
come inveterate enemies, husbands
may desert their wives, wives their
husbands. But a mothers love en-
dures through all; in good repute, in
bad repute, in the face of the worlds
condemnation, mother still loves on,
and still hopes that a child may turn
from his @il ways and repent; still
she remembers the infant smiles that
once filled her bosom with rapture,
the merry laugh, the joyful shout of
his childhood, the opening promise of
his youth; and she can never be
brought to think him all unworthy.
The instruction received at the
mothers knee, and the paternal les
sons, together with the pious and
sweet souvenirs of the fireside, are
never entirely effaced from the soul"

and cold was gay with sunshine at
two o'clock when we went to the
Church to meet our god-children who
arrived, if citizens of Vic, in the midst
of family group, while if from the
villages about, child and family group
arrived, shining with excitement, in
one of our cars.
Each god-mother presented her god
child with a dress, chain and a
medal, bought in Paris, and various
useful garments from our American
boxes, SO the mothers were content
with their appearance. When the
time came, twelve god-mothers car
ried their god-children, making long
line of blue uniforms and whitehead
babies down the side aisle of the old
gray church. The dean omitted moth
ing that the Church provided of
beauty of vestments and dignity of
ritual, and the babies behaved as
babies should, expressing their pleas
ure and displeasure freely, sometimes
quite drowning the deans voice.
From there we proceeded to the
font and then to the registry, and
afterwards stayed to the Benediction,
which was made picturesque by the
black Malgaches in their French CO.
lonial uniforms who filled one side of
the church and contributed two hymns
chantsd in their strange, voices in
their own language.
We came out into the churchyard
where the sun was still bright and fol-
lowed the French custom of throwing
pennies and bon-bons twisted in bright
bits of paper for the children to scram-
BILE for After that we filled the. cars
with babies and mothers and came to
the house, where, thanks to the genef-
osity of Mr.. and Mrs. HILBERT of Chi
cage, we distributed cigarettes to the
family parties. The dean gave most
cordial toast to the American god
mothers, and after mutual congratula-
tons and the usual gift of twenty
francs to each god-child the cars with
their loads left for. the distant vii
lagos, and our Vic friends walked hap

There were many contrasts which
brought out the ever-present tragedy
of this devastated region-hardly a
mother who was not in mourning for
some member of her family, not a
father who did not show the marks of
these four hideous years. But there
was sense everywhere of the new
life beginning with the never-failing
courage of these wonderful people.
The war is over The Church is again
in her temporal home taking charge
of the lives of her Children charge
she has kept in camp and trench all
through the horror, but now again in
charity and peace. We, of the. Ameri-
can Committee for Devastated France,
are thankful to have been allowed to
share in the JOY as in the sorrow.

HOME AND MOTHER.

A man may own a handsome and
well furnished residence and yet may
not possess a home-that is, home
in it's best and purest sense, where
domestic felicity reigns supreme: for
only amid such surroundings can we
find the happy home, says an ex-
change.
So understood, there is no sweeter
word in the language than ''home, y
and one has well said, Few words
lie nearer the heart than the word
home" To those of us who were
how heartfelt is the pity we feel for
those who were deprived of that moral
and social stimulus that is the con-
comitant of the happy home!
Where is your homer" a little boy
was asked by an acquaintance.

replied, as he looked lovingly across

The little boys philosophy would be
endorsed by many of maturer age.
Undoubtedly the mother of a family,
the mistress of the house, has much
to do with the ''tone" or quality of
home life. The author of the chroni-
cles of an old and distinguished fam
lily says: "Of our mother I cannot
think of anything to say. She is just
the mother-our own dear, patient,
loving little mother; unlike everyone
else in the world, and yet it seems as
if there was nothing to say about her
by which one could make anyone I'M
derstand what she is" In other
words, the dear, patient, loving little
mothers" are sweetly indescribable.

and happier place because they have
lived here.
II should be sad and vile migrate
! not to love a church that has done
all that and much more for me as a
Christian. For fifteen hundred years
the preachers and pastors, the hymn
writer's and the church builders, the
social reformers and the mystics, the
theologians and the poets Of all Eu-
rope west of Russia were Roman Ca
| tholics. All our spiritual wealth as
Protestants is an inherited wealth;
inherited through the Roman Catholic
Church.
| Secondly. | love the Roman Catho-
| lie Church for what she is. We do not
know what beautiful Christians there
are among the Catholics, because
they do not know how sincerely Prot
estants are trying to be followers of
| the same Christ whom they serve.
But is it not true that the Roman
Catholic Church is un-American, and
| is seeking to overthrow our govern
ment, and all that? | hesitate not to
say that l believe it is a foul and
hateful calumny. The people who say
these things have not one solid fact
upon which to base their menstrous
indictment. It is an utterly unworthy
frame of mind for brethren of Christ
to have towards each other. We must
get this miserable SANDER out of our
minds. BY every test which can be
fairly applied, the Catholic citizen
stands on par with his Protestant
brother" Fl

SOME AFFECTIONS FOR MIS-
SIONARY.

Rev. Albert Botty, B. F. NJ, of East
Mongolia, has been generous con-
tributor to mission literature, and his
articles have always held the interest
of the reader Therefore it comes as
a shock to learn that Father Botty's
eyes have given out and that he has
been obliged to stop his teaching and
even the reading of his breviary
In the letter conveying this news he
adds:
Our converts will not be so numer-
Gus this year for several reasons
The first is the poverty of the mis-
sions, both in money and men, death
having taken four missionaries from
an already insufficient staff; the sec
ond is the influenza, which has caused
the closing of some catechumenates;
and the third is new sect which has
arisen. This sect is most bitter in
it's hatred of the Catholics, and has
threatened to massacre the. mission
aries and the Christians on the third
day of the third moon, which, trans
lated, means the third of April Such
threats do not alarm the priests, but
they terrorize the poor natives, espe-
cially those who live some distance
from the missions.
81 therefore recommend myself and
my mission to the prayers of the faith
full"

THE CHURCH, BY A PROTESTANT.

Il want to tell you in very simple
way why | love the Roman Catholic
Church and why | believe it is. the
| duty of every Christian to love that
Church sincerely.
First l love the Roman Catholic
Church because of what she has been.
1t is the old mother church. Let me
emphasize that. Our churches are all
the offspring of that church GAafew
ultra Protestants will try to claim
| that they trace their !" genealogy
through some stray erratic movements
back to the Apostles, without touch
ing the Church of Rome, but this is
largely imaginary.
For more than a thousand years
| Rome preserved the integrity and
| transmitted the vitality of the Chris
| tan gospel before ever anything like
| Protestant secession was dreamed of !;
and when the Protestant movement
came it was made possible as a branch
is made possible on the vine; it grew
out of the strong vitality of the mother
church.
"Now, hold that it is, a MATES
of simple decency to be loyal to ones
mother. l could not respect myself
if could forget that as a Protestant
/ owe my very being as Christian,
owe all the light and joy and liberty
| in Christ enjoy, to the mother church.
To her I owe the very existence of
that Bible which / love; to her I owe
| the sacraments which are the symbols
| of the saints whose footsteps have

kept alive, and the practice of re-
ligion continued under the exertions
of Indian missionaries from Goa who
suffered every sort of hardship for
the faith. This sort of affairs contin-
ued for about a century and half.
In the year 1915, the island passed
into the hands of the English and this
inaugurated new era of prosperity
for the Catholic Church. Catholic mis-
sionaries at once took the opportunity
to profit by the change of govern
ment Catholicism not only recon
quered a portion of the lost ground,
but also made fresh converts from
among the heathens. Portuguese mis-
sionaries are still found in one pro-
vince of Ceylon.

THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

The call to Harvard men every
where to mobilize for the safeguard
ing of our public school system and
the preservation of it's sanctity went
out last week. says Truth, a local
publication, and adds the following
by way of comment:
The war has revealed to the Amer
lean people as nothing else could have
the extent to which the organized
enemies of secular education have
undermined this bulwark of free Amer
lean institutions. 1t has been a slow
job but pretty efficient one. Like
most super-efficients, however, the
conspirators have grown bold, not to
say reckless, with success, hence the
awakening of real Americans every
where-regardless of creed or color

HOW THE MISSIONARIES EX-
PRESS THEIR GRATITUDE.

All the missionaries assisted by the
Propagation of the Faith Society give
to their benefactors a share of the
merits of their apostolic labors. They
are also asked to pray and offer occa-
sionally Cat least once Year, the
Holy Sacrifice of the Mass for them
This means that innumerable prayers
are said and over fifteen thousand
Masses offered every year for the in
tentions of the living and the repose
of the souls of the deceased members
of the society.

The innuendo is, of course, directed

Minnepalis-After being twice res cued from death and turned back as many times to the Animal Rescue league by his new owners because Of viciousness, Blighty, dog born in the trenches of France, has been given a home.
 Blighty was brought to Minneapolis by Corp. John McTavish, formerly connected with the British recruiting mission. From the first the dog showed a pronounced dislike for d gray uniform and proceeded to accord the postman the same treatment he had been taught to give the Hun. After doing without his mail for a week, the man to whom Corporal Me Tavish gave him, turned the dog over to the Animal Rescue league.
 The next owner of Blighty was storekeeper who got him to keep away thieves-and customers as well. Back to the Animal Rescue league went Blighty. The next day the store was entered and $500 worth of merchan- disc stolen.
