The Holy Father.-His Holiness
recently received in audience in the
Consistorial Hall the directors and
chief workers in the Apostleship of
Prayer and Conservation of Families
to the Sacred Heart. In Italy, as all
over the world, this devotion has be-
come fervent of late, and has received
generous encouragement from the
Holy Father. Over six hundred per-
sons were at the audience, and His
Holiness, In addressing them, alluded
to the coming canonization of Blessed
Margaret Mary Alacoque, the Virgin
of Paray-le- Monial.
Losses in Armenla.--Father Rigaud,
Jesuit, has made public some figures
which doubtless give accurate informa-
ton regarding the condition of the
Church in the Armenian Catholic
Province Of Marache. Father Rigaud
was formerly an instructor in st.
Francis Xavier College, Beyrouth. He
states that Fathers Paramian and
Akrabian were put to death. The
hierarchy of Marache armenian rite)
has been preserved. About 10000
Armenians Catholics were killed:
about $4,000 remain; altogether the
South Jared better than the North dur
ing the prosecutions.
| Dearth Of Missionaries.-For several
years Rev. Alfred Botty, Belgian for
elgn missionary in Mongolia, has been
one OF the most prolific writer's to the
publications printed by the Society
for the Propagation of the Faith. From
Bishop Abels comes the sad news that
| he has suffered the loss of this apostle
and another, Father Van Obbargers,
within the past few months. The death
of Father Botty will be severely felt
in the mission of East Mongolia. He
was professor in the seminary for
native clergy and an active worker in
many fields of action. Mgr. Abels has
ORDAINED two new priests, which brings
the number of native apostles up to
| seventeen. These co-workers are
much needed in the present dearth
of missionaries.
Devon Nuns Welcome Prince Of
Wales. = His Royal Highness the
Prince of Wales, during his Devon
visit, arrived early at Newton Abbot,
where, despite the early hour C a. m.
he was given a very enthusiastic
reception by the townspeople. Some
little distance outside the town the
Sisters of the Holy Ghost, in their
| attractive, cream-colored habits, and
their pupils of st. Michaeps Convent
lngsdon, stood by the dusty roadside
waving flags and banners. The Royal
car pulled up and the smiling Prince
received beautiful bouquet ere he
started off again.
Catholic Stage GuiId.-The Actors
Mass drew a large congregation last
month to the little Church of Corpus
Christi, Maiden Lane, London. The
Mass was served by a leading come
dian, George Mozart; the preacher was
Father Wylie of the Dominicans; and
Gounod's "Messe Breve" was rendered
by members of the profession under
the baton of Mr.. Bellew. A general
mRpf1np 10 Tof
took place the same day in the vaude-
Vile theatre, lent by Messrs. Gatti At
this meeting Mr.. Hilaire Belloc occu-
pied the chair; and Miss Alice Lakin
and Mr.. Gervase Elves contributed
songs between the speeches. An inno-
walton was the opening of the proceed
1ngs to the public, who could enter
free, and in this manner Catholic
truth reached in an indirect way,
good many people, who would never
have entered church to seek it, but
had food for thought in finding it the
guiding principle of the lives of some
OF the stages greatest favorites.
