were fatally stricken with their last
illness. 1t was of necessity most
trying and depressing time for these
young men in full bloom of health
and youth to be stricken and to see SO
many of their comrades with whom
they had so recently associated, car
ried out for their eternal rest. 1t is
at such a time when pleasant smile,
cheering word, friendly hand are
treasures beyond value. 1t was in
such service, making their daily
rounds from bed to bed, a smile here,
word of encouragement there, an
offer of service-in writing to mothers
when requested, and administering
the last sad rites when necessary,
with never a thought of personal dan
ger in coming in close contact with a
dangerously contagious disease, that
the chaplains made their daily rounds.
1t was a beautiful thing to see their
constant and unselfiSh devotion to
duty, with answering constancy and
never a thought of self. 1t was of in
estimable value to sick men in aiding
their recovery to have a word of
| friendly cheer and to have support for
their necessarily depressed spirits. 1t
was an immense help to the medical
staff to have the ever-ready chaplains

ANOTHER COUNTY HEARD
-e... FROM.

If you look on the map you will see
that Manchuria is a pretty remote
spot; yet it is not so remote but that
the influenza has found it out and is
getting in it's usual work. This re
port was sent by Mgr. N. Choulet, P.
F. NJ, who at the time of writing was
about setting Off on confirmation
tour, with the temperature far below
zero. But winter is the harvest time
of souls in the North, for the people
are compelled to remain inactive dur
ing the excessive cold and can give
their time to study and instruction.
Last year over a thousand grown
persons were gathered into the fold,
and the general works of the Moukden
mission are being continued. Luckily
the civil war that disturbed so many
districts of China was not felt in Man
churia. In fact it isembarrassed the
province of>many undesirables whom
the governor modified and sent to
fight the armies of the South.

TIE PIONEERS.

The first missionaries to Africa con-
sidered themselves privileged in
many ways. They thought it good to
be alone in sense, in those great
spaces, as the Jesuit and Franciscan
missionaries were, in America, cen
turtles ago. Nature spread her most
beautiful scenery before them, showed
them her most wonderful animals and
birds. They saw the rising sun, salut-
ing with her first pure rays the spark
ling mountain SUBMITS, and rivers
rushing down in cascade from their
glaciers to bring fertility to the val
leys, where palms, mango trees, bana-
ma plants grew on the rich soil which
was to bear SO kindly many trees and
plants of Southern Europe. On the
vast stretches of grassy steppes, sbuf-
falo and gnu, gazelle, giraffe, zebra,
lion and leopard roamed free. FL
The missionary passing his days in
such surroundings thought that God

many times expressed his pleasure
over the work these two lay apostles
are doing. He realizes that they are
saving many souls which otherwise
would be lost. They are not only do
ing good work in one part of his large
diocese. but in several. In going from
one mission to another they ask moth
ing of the people to pay their ex-
penses; but now that living expenses,
travelling expenses, and all other eX-
penses have increased, they have
asked the good Bishop if he could not
procure for them a Ford machine, in
order that they might still continue
their good work and perhaps enlarge
their present field of usefulness. Be-
ing in charge of one of the poorest
dioceses in the country, the Bishop
with much regret had to refuse the
request; but promised to bring the pc
tition to the attention of the Catholic
Church Extension Society, with the
urgent request to try to dispose some
generous soul to give donation for
this worthy purpose.
The small automobile is proving
very useful to the missionary. With
a machine he is able to cover many
times the ground he did before, and
with less expense. Automobiles for
missionaries should not be looked
upon as a luxury, but a necessity.
Will you not become a lay missionary
yourself by helping those who are do
ing Gods work? Will you not assist
the Bishop in securing an automobile
for his two Catechists? If some
Christians would only give a tenth of
what these two fbble souls are CIV
ing, how happy this world would be;
for then we should not be thinking so
much of worldly recognition and
praise, as Of the Home that will be
ours when the Master calls us.
If anyone feels interested in this
work and should like to send a dona-
ton for the purchase of an automo-
bile, the Catholic Church Extension
Society, $50 Mccormick Bldg, Chi
cago, ILL.,, will gladly receive it and
forward it promptly to the Bishop for
the use intended.

ST. VINCENT DE PAUL LOVED THE
MISSIONS.

To anyone who is acquainted with
corporal and spiritual works of charity
Or with modern work of philanthropy,
the name of st. Vincent de Paul is we'll
known as one of the greatest benefac-
tors of humanity, as the servant OF
God and of the poor.
Foreign missions had a prominent
place in the programme of apostolic
works of st. Vincent de Paul. He
would have liked to see the members
of his Congregation throughout the
East, and even in the furthermost
parts Of China; he cherished dreams
of foundations for them in the Lev
ant, in Persia and India, and was
never afraid of being importunate
when his dear missions were con-
cerned.
The development of the missions
and the work which his spiritual sons
would be able to do amid the heath
en-, the many captive Christians and
the Oriental schismatics constantly
filled his thoughts, and, as he owned
his dreams by night. ST. vincent Wis
ions Of holy ambitions have been full
filled, for his spiritual children have
carried on the Apostolic work in Africa
and Asia, in the near and in the Fa1
East.
Apart from the houses the Lazarists
possess and the work they are doing
in the United States, in Mexico arc
Central America, in Brazil and Column
bia, in Argentine and Ecuador, in
Australia and the Philippines, in Den
mark and Bulgaria, they are still car
rying on the Catholic Apostolate ir
seventeen missionary districts situat
ed in Abyssinia and Egypt, in South
Madagascar, in the Levant and Syria
Palestine and Persia and last but moi
least in ten Vicariates Apostolic OF
China.

SEND THESE BOOKS TO CAME
RoUN, WEST AFRICA.

Out in Cameroun, West Africa, a
missionary named Rev. J. Douvry, c..
S. Sp. is having hard time, not only
fighting the powers of darkness that
have a strong grip on the minds Of
the natives, but he is obliged to COM
bat an active Protestant movement
that aims by numerous tracts and
other printed matter to prejudice the
blacks.
He wishes to use the same weapons
and earnestly asks an offering suffi-
cient to purchase a tyDewriting ma
chine and little copying press Be-
sides, and here some American clergy
man may come to the rescue, perhaps,
without too much trouble, Father
Douvry would like a few English
books refuting Protestant objections
One book named Answers to the
Question Box he specially mentions
and if any kind person wishes to for
ward it to him an immense service tC
religion will be performed.

ONE WAY OF EXPRESSING
GRATITUDE.

Il beg you not to aid, but to save
the different stations of this mission.
Without special assistance l do not
know how they can exist during the
coming year" ......
Such are the words of Father F.
Tiery, P. F. NJ, of Nagasaki, Japan.
We may judge from them that his con-
dition borders on the desperate and,
indeed, friends of the Propagation of
the Faith Society known that Japan
ranks as one of the very needy mis-
sion fields. 1t needs priests and it
needs money wherewith to secure
those valuable substitutes for priests
-catechists.
A good way to show our gratitude
for the blessings of the New Year
would be to send generous Offering
to Japan.

supplied with priests, he has of late
sustained many losses from among his
faithful staff. Not only was Father
GoOsten taken off by the cholera, and
Brother Wynans drowned, but Father
John Mees has gone to the Manila hos
pital with an incurable disease, and
Father Justers, one of the older apos-
ties, has become incapacitated. Thus
the mission has become sadly depleted,
and the Superior has sent a note of
alarm to the Provincial More are

had given him the better part, that He
Hmself, the Creator, was nearer to
His Apostle here under the constella-
ton Of the Southern Cross than if he
had remained in the midst of so-called
modern civilization with all it's hustle,
crime and sordidness. These men
were not only missionaries but the
servants Of science, discoveries, bot

MISSIONARY HELPERS.

In many foreign countries men and
women who have not made the SUI
preme sacrifice by leaving their homes
and friends in order to serve God as
missionaries, but who are anxious to
90 what they can to spread the Cath
Ollie Faith, are doing excellent work
and are proving of great assistance to
the priests in charge of large mis-
Sionary districts. These pious men
and women are called Catechists, and
their work is to instruct the people in
the absence of the pastor, and pre-
pare the children for First Holy Com
muniOn and Confirmation. Many
times, because of the scarcity of
priests in missionary sections. and the
large territories that must necessarily
come under the care of one mission
airy, months often elapse before he
can make return visit to q mission,
Were it not for these Catechists, who
keep the fire of Faith burning in the
hearts OF the people, many of them
doubtless would become careless in
the practice of their Faith; imagine,
100, the disappointment that surely
would be felt by the poor missionary
upon seeing his people slowly drifting
away from Mother Church, and he,
one of the Masters servants, stand
ing by unable to save the situation.
You can well imagine, therefore, what
a great joy and consolation these
Catechists are to the missionaries.
In one of the dioceses in the south
ern part of our country there is very
good Catholic man and his wife who
are doing, without any compensation
whatever, just what the Catechists in
foreign countries are doing. They
conduct Catholic school for the chill
dren, and on Sundays when the priest
is unable to say Mass the people are
gathered into the church and given
instructions on the different parts of
the Mass, and other necessary sub
jects, all of which keeps their inter
est from Tagging and prevents the
possibility of their becoming ..indifers

Lastly, the son gives ten thousand

health, and he and his Christian com
panions have been commended fol

of your son; perhaps they contain

CATHOLIC ANNAMITES WITNESS
A MIRACLE AT LoURDES.

Among the Catholic Annamites called
to France by the war were a certain
number who made a pilgrimage to
Lourdes. Some Of these were fortu-
nate enough to witness a miracle
the cure of paralytic-and one of
the soldiers wrote to missionary in
AMMAN the following letter. It's form
and style are full of Oriental pictur-
esqueness:
Ten thousand salutations, O my
Father.
"The son has the ,audacity to send
a letter to his Father, which in way
will represent him, for it will offer
greetings and ask prayers for the son
and for all the sons brothers. Some
time ago the son received a picture of
the Sacred Heart sent him by the kind
Father and his heart is filled with joy
though he regrets not having been
able to transmit his thanks earlier.
Father, the other day your son
went to Lourdes, where by a miracle
of the Most Holy Virgin person par
alyzed for three years was cured.
The eyes of your son saw this miracle,
which occurred on the eighth of Sep
TENDER, the feast of the Nativity of
the Blessed Mother.

brought the invalid in his wheelchair
to the miraculous fountain. Hardly
