CATHOLICS AMONG JAPANESE
OFFICIALS.

Rev. Nicholas Walter; head of the
very successful Bright Star School,
OF Osaka, Japan, seems to think that
the menace of Shintoism is not quite
so apparent at present. Hear what he
says:
Our school continues with 500 stu
dents, only about, a dozensof whom are
Catholics, the rest pagans, but good
pagans in the sense that they retain
few prejudices against our Holy
Church. Many are already friendly,
but few feel the need of adopting the
Faith
Worldly indifference still prevails
among them; that is quite natural in
a pagan atmosphere, like that of Osa-
ka, where there are only about 1900
Catholics amidst 100000 apagans.
Some time ago we had to fear a
recrudescence of Shintoism; I hope
that effervescence is cooling down;
the present cabinet is a democratic
one. Mr.. Hara, the prime minister,
used to be formerly in the service of
Rev. Father Evard, the Vicar General
of Tokyo, and as such he was bap-
tized, but later fell away from the

Dear old mother! All her days
She has walked in humble ways
Tendin' something small and weak
Helpless babies, so to speak.
Sometimes babies of her own;
Sometimes other peoples, thrown
On her cares because, | VOW,
She just seemed to know just how;
Sometimes fluffy little chicks;
Sometimes lambs that didn't mix
With the old sheep very well.

How she's nursed all kinds of weak,

Don't have just such mothers now,
Seems to me. They're-well, | VOW,
Not exactly natural like.
S'pose they love each little tike
After fashion-but, that's it
Fashion-like-a little bit
Of the pure old mother stuff
Mixed in mebby, but lot
Of machine stuff that they've got

BACK FROM THE WAR IN
GANGPUR.

We fancy that many Catholics will
like to know how the Gangpur Labor
Corps came back to it's Indian sur
roundings, after it's gallant work at
the front.
For that you must transport your
ramal, the central station of the Gang
pur mission conducted by the Belgian
Jesuit Fathers.
At Kesramal the Father Superior,
Father Grignard, S. j., tried to forget
his pressing financial anXieties and
roof1ess church Chat for two years
has lacked it's covering) and impover-
ished mission, as he looked on the ma
tive labor corps who assembled at the
mission for a general communion of
thanksgiving to the Sacread Heart for
their safe return from the European
battle front.
What a witness they were able to
bear to that Holy Religion under
bravely; everywhere, they had seen
the Catholic Church the predominant
religion, the only universal one, the
only true brotherhood, and it was a
fitting opportunity for Father Orig
nard to point out that even if here, in
Gangpur, they were scattered in lit
tie groups among pagans, it was but
as the vanguards they had seen at the
front, having behind them the innu-
merable and compact armies of Gods
true soldiers fighting for right and
justice.
In France the Indians had seen how
churches should be kept, and on their
return the men voted ten rupees
apiece out of their wages to help put
on that roof, and Father Grignard's
heart swelled with joy and thankful
ness as he remembered that only fiji
teen years ago, these same poor chill
dren of the jungle were sacrificing to
demons and sunk in the grossest pa
ganism.
Kesramal may be one of the poorest
missions in Bengal, but at least it has
produced fruit! Only how much more
might not be done among these poor
Bengal folk were but funds forthcom-
ing? For the missions poverty is cry
ing-its very accessories of worship
Iacking-the Fathers cannot even af-
ford to replace their terribly soiled
and WORKOUT set of vestments. A lit
tie kindly interest among American
Catholics would go such a long way
towards making Kesramal mission
happy-for it does need friends very
badly! It's missionaries never come
back from their war-it is always go
ing on without truce, or even an ar
mistice, on that front where paganism
is being so CALAMITY fought in it's own
stronghOlds.

EDlFYING SCENES WHERE LEP.
ROSY CLAIMS MANY VICTIMS.

Father de How're, chaplain of the
leper asylum near Pretoria cites some
cases of edifying resignation which
come to his notice in the course of
his ministration to the unfortunate
lepers, among whom may be found
persons of all ages and nationalities
In one of the little cottages lives
young African girl, once most at
tractive but now living corpse. Her
sight is gone, her limbs are wasted
away to the bone; one would scarce
ly recognize her as human being.
And yet this poor child is bearing her
suffering like a saint. She became
a Catholic and since her baptism has
never been heard to complain of her
sufferings.
She said once to me, Father, I
think if we could look even for a
moment into eternity and behold the
happiness and glory of Heaven,
really believe all our sufferings and
misery would appear as nothing, we
would be so willing to endure them as
means of winning our eternal re-
ward
In the very next house is to be
found little girl not yet fifteen years
of age, whose face is never seen ex-
cept by the nurse who visits her
every day and washes and dresses her
wounds. Then we have a Jewess,
born in Kovono, Russia, who is said
to have contracted the disease through
the bite of a dog. This poor woman
is heartbroken at the thought of her
seven little children from whom she
is separated. Among our male pa
tients is talented Irishman who is
bravely bearing his own affiiction and
doing much to make the other pa
tients forget theirs"

A BOARDING VILLAGE INSTEAD
OF A BOARDING SCHOOL.

An ingenious plan for housing stu
dents who must otherwise be cared for
in a large boarding school-a luxury
far beyond the means of the Marists
Brothers of the Belgian Congo, has
been devised by them.
When they opened their class in
Buta, an important town on one of
the tributaries of the Congo river,
only small attendance was expected.
More than one hundred and fifty chill
dren presented themselves, however,
and it was necessary actually to drive
the disappointed ones away.
AS the Brothers desire to spread re-
ligion among those having influence,
the sons of chiefs are taken whenever
possible, and they are sheltered in
what may be called boarding village.
This village, placed on mission ter
ritory, consists of two rows of native
huts separated by roadway. Each

A PROTESTANT TRIBUTE TO THE
NUNS.

In the first year of the great war,
an agreement was made between Rus
STA, Germany and Austria to allow
tWenty-four nuns from their respective
countries to inspect the prison camps
in each others domains and remain to
nurse and care for wounded prisoners
of war 1t was a small concession,
perhaps, but was bright with the evil
dence that concessions were possible
The Nun has played much larger
part in the late war than is suspected.
In every war book published there is
some reference to her amazing cour-
age, her persistent good Offices for
friend and enemy alike, her calm pur-
suance of duty and mercy, her readi-
ness with the soft answer that turn
eth away wrath. The wrecking of her
converts and her churches has not
meant the wrecking of her faith, and
in all the terrors and carnage that
beset her she calmly continues to live
the gentle ethics of the Sermon on the
Mount.
The fact that Nuns have been chosen
by the respective countries for the
mission of inspection. report and mer.
cy is a splendid testimonial of their
integrity, of the faith which the bel
ligerents place in their wisdom and
understanding.
There is a sweet calm about the
Nun which is rarely found elsewhere,

come what tribulations- may. Their
whole creed is to serve God and hui
mainly, whatever their hands find to
do, to do it with all their might. Dur
ing the Boer War the writer well re-
members how educational converts
were turned into irst-class hospitals
over night, to which Boer and Briton
were equally welcome to which any
one in any sort of trouble from any
where could turn with the assurance
of asylum and mercy. Quietly, persist
emily, unostentatiously, but with the
mplacable faith in righteousness
which brooks of no denial, they estab-
lish themselves where terror and hor-
ror are fiercest, where misery is deep
est and danger dire, fearless of death,
careless of life, but always ready and
capable to serve the torn heart or the
broken body
The writer was once in a shipwreck
when two nuns were on board In the
first terrible panic that ensued they
both knelt on the tottering deck, Of
fered a short prayer, then touched the
captain on the arm and asked for
orders. One could never forget the
relief with which the captain saw their
serene faces. Gather the women and
children at this end of the deck" he
said, and calm those frantic men"
1t seemed a tall order, but without
more ado they moved gently among
the wretched crowds, smiling, sooth
ing, commanding with such amazing
results that in a few minutes chaos
was reduced to order, wild misery
transformed to calm. And the fact
that not a soul was lost on that ship
was certainly due to their persistent
gentleness

THE NEW GIRL IN THE OFFICE

Young woman, why make it so I'M
comfortable for the girl who has come
to work in the Office or factory where
you are employed?
She does not dress so we'll and per-
haps she carries her lunch instead of
buying it, but why show your ill-breed-
ing by taking notice of trities?
When the crowd gathers for it's
jolly little MONDAY repast together,
why not ask her to bring her lunch
along and join your party?
Why tempt the girl to spend more
for clothing than she should by sport
ing the latest wrinkles in dress and
eternally, she thinks, talking about
it?
Why brag about the number of
shows" you have attended this win
ter, when it is plain to be seen that
she seldom goes anywhere?
Why not show yourself a really true
lady by avoiding the subject of money,
dress, "shows" or any of the things
which your quick wits discover to be
not of her world?
Look deeper than the surface and
respect what she represents pure,
clean, honest girl.
Just because you do not understand
her at first is no sign that you might
not find her quite worth while on
acquaintance. Be real yourself and
get the greatest enjoyment you have
l. in, 1i0h
sadness in another's eyes.

Much earnest thought is given by us

in squaring our own ways of thought

SPENDING MONEY.

In order to teach children to save
at first: the child will value it quite
as much as a large one; even with
five cents, very little people can learn
to plan and save for special things.
One mother that we know has her
little girl pay for all her lost hand
kerchiefs. Her allowance is small,
but so are the handkerchiefs, and
they cost very little; it is astonish-
ing how that child keeps watch for
the little bit of square in her posses
sion and how few she loses. She will
not be one of those fascinating crea-
lures We see who go through life
dropping their handkerchiefs here and
there for attentive men to pick up.
That child's parents planned out
her allowance as carefully as they did
her education. Next year she is to
have bit larger allowance and buy
her hair ribbons. Later will be added
gloves or stockings, and so on, till
the girl is managing all the expenses
of her living. To be sure, in this case
it is her fathers money, but how
much better it is than for her just to
take the money and spend it without
thought.
Her mother was brought up in this
way and the management of her
household expenses shows the same
principle and the same efficiency.
Children should be taught how to
value and handle money They should
never be allowed to charge" things
at the stores; that is schooling for
extravaganza and debt They should
be required invariably to pay for all
purchases in cash.
