PRAISE FROM ANGLICAN.

Though an Anglican himself, the
Rev. NJ R. Newbolt NJ. A.. frankly
asserts, in a new book on "The Mis-
sionary Question" that "of every
twenty-one workers in the Mission
Field, fourteen are Roman Catholics,
six are Professionals, and one only is
contributed by the Anglican commun-
ion" Nor does he hesitate to ac-
knowledge that "the true state of the
case is that, both in efficiency, expert
ence, size, and devotion, the Roman
Catholic Church is far and away the
greatest missionary body in Christen-
DOM" Surprising as this may seem
to Mr. Newbolt, it would be inexpres-
sibly more so to a Catholic if such
we're not the case. AS a matter of
fact, the statement is entirely obvious.
Not less curious than Mr.. Newbolt's
admissions is his declaration that the
Church of England may best serve the
great cause of the union of Eastern
and Western Christendom by keeping
free from identification with the war
ring interests of the world, not cir
cumscribed by any narrower formula
than the Catholic Faith of the One
Holy Catholic Apostolic Church.

"MERClER OF THE CHURCH
MILITANT"

Under this caption, the following
fine editorial appeared in the New
York Herald Of Tuesday, December 8:
Much as the good people of the city
of New York long for an opportunity
to stand on the sidewalks of Fifth
King Of the Belgians, ever firm in dis
aster, Field Marshal Haig, General
Pershing, Admiral Beatty, Admiral
Sims, General Diaz and the other AL
lied leaders, as they may come along,
none of these will evoke more heart
the red-hatted figure of Cardinal Mer-
cier.
Talk of the Church Militant, Here
it is incarnate. With no guards to
protect him, in the middle Of a cowed
civil population, threatened by men to
whom neither the altar nor his office
was sacred, this lonely ecclesiastic
neither bowed nor quailed before the
storm. When no other living symbol
of Belgian nationality remained in the

demonstrated the superiority of char
acter over mere force.
The fame of him has gone every

ample has done more than that of any
other to promote the fine tolerance

A LEARNED HINDU MISSIONARY

Father GnanapraKasar, o. NJ. l., the
Tamil missionary of Ceylon, has al
ready won a two-fold record. AS the
learned author of Philosophical Saliva
ism, he has shown that he knows
more about the Hindu beliefs than his
own pagan countrymen, and his De-
scriptive List of Ceylon's Catholic
Vernacular Literature, lately pub
lshed in the Jaffna Catholic Guar
dian, proves that he is fully equipped
to deal with the Catholic side of Ia
mil culture A student and metaphys-
kasar might have we'll embraced a life
of scholarly aloofness, but there is
another side to the Ceylon Oblates
activities.
For not all the destinations Of his
studies in comparative religion Or
contemporary literature could make
Father Gnanaprakasar forget that in
the Jaffna peninsula dwell 100000
wretched 'low-caste" Hindus, whose
miserable material surroundings, as
practical serfs of their ''high-caste"
masters, are only equalled by the spir-
itual restitution in which they drag
out their pitiful existence.
So he devotes himself to teaching
little children and poor natives, conf
dent that these humble converts will
one day be able to live under happier
conditions, thanks to their adherence
to the Catholic religion.

MGR. KEELING WRITES FROM
ClMBEBASIA, AFRICA.


with us as with all apostles, the
past year has been fruitful in miseries
and affections, but with a grateful
heart | can also say that our dear
mission has been enriched by many
gr2ces and a good harvest of souls
was gleaned-more than three thou
sand. in fact.
There are now only sixteen priests
and thirteen Brothers in the Prefec-
ture of Upper Cimbebasia, most of
the'n old and nearly worn out, but,
thanks to their hard labor and devo-
ion, we have been able to increase
the number of our schools and nov
ave 1T. Around each school are
grouped some Christian families, and
each of these little settlements is di-
rected by a catechist and visited by a
priest as often as possible. To give
their village stable organization, to
inculcate the ideas of civilization in
these poor Africans, and above all, to
make them worthy of the name of
Christians, is the object and aim of
our apostolate.
Il recommend all our undertakings
to the prayers of our benefactors in
America, first, that our dear children
may be able to grow in virtue, and
second, that means may be given us
to carry out the designs of Divine Pro
whence in the Dark Continent

TALKING TO ONES SELF.

Talking to ones self is generally
considered a sign of weak brain,
said doctor recently, but nothing
could be a greater mistake. 1t is a
sign of an extremely active brain. 1t
may be strong or a weak intellect,
but the activity must be there to
cause this popularity. If you will OBJ
serve you will be astonished how
many people you will meet on the
street who are thinking aloud. The
talking is done unconsciously.
Often the people addicted to the
habit, if you called their attention to
it, would aver that they never were
guilty Of such a thing. Some of the
brightest men | have ever known,
writes prominent physician, do
their thinking aloud without knowing
it, and, on the other hand, some of
the weakest individuals mentally,
whom | have met in my practice,
keep up a continuous conversation
with themselves. So it would seem
that man who talks to himself must
be one of two extremes-a wise man
or a fool.

ST. PATRICK is HONORED IN
LIBERIA.

The free state of Liberia, in West
Africa, came in for it's share of the
recent world conflict, but Mgr. Oge,
the Project Apostolic, writes that he
and his missions are Weathering the
storm and looking for brighter days.
He says:
Judging from the statistics of the
year, which l have just completed,
am glad to say that the effects of the
world war have not, after all, proved
as disastrous to our work on the Kroo
Coast as we at first thought, and al
ways, and have on several occasions
even been forced almost to lock up
owing to the scarcity of food, yet we
have been able to jog along, and even
to enlarge the sphere of our apostle
late. Thus the number of our bap-
to about 800, has since been increased
to the total of 1892. Of these, good
fourth have died, which leaves us a
population of about S91 souls.
Again, at the beginning of the war
we had but two principal stations def
nitely established, viz: Old Sasstown
and New Sasstown. Now we have
four large stations and are soon to
open a fifth. Of course our buildings
are for the most part of the crude ma
tive style, as other material is al
most impossible to secure.
"St. Patrick is to be the patron of
our fifth station, and as the cost of
the foundation will not exceed five
hundred dollars we look to him to fill
our purse

right and wrong, and judge people ac-
cordingly.
2. To measure the enjoyment of
others by our own
3. To expect uniformity of opinion
in this world
4. To look for Judgment and expe-
rience in youth.
5. To endeavor to mold all dispo-
sitions alike.
6. To look for perfection in our
own actions.
T. To worry ourselves and others
with what cannot be remedied.
s. To refuse to yield in immaterial
matters.
8. To refuse to alleviate, so far as
lies in our power, all that which
needs alienation.
TO- To refuse to make an allow
ance for the infirmities of others.
II. To consider everything impos-
sible that we cannot perform.
II. To believe only what our own
finite minds can grasp.
Is. To expect to be able to under
stand everything.
IA. To live for time alone, when
any moment may launch us into eter-
nifty.

RoosEVELT's FAvoRlTE POEM.

Mr.. Roosevelt's favorite poem was

ingalls,, the one-time famous politician
of Kansas, and a one-poem poet. 1t
follows: -.

Fame, love, and fortune on my foot
steps wait.
Cities and fields | walk; | penetrate
Deserts and seas remote, and passing

Hovel and mart and palace-soon or

If sleeping, wake-if feasting, rise be-
fore
I turn away. 1t is the hour of fate,
And they who follow me reach every
state
Mortals desire, and conquer every foe

hesitate,
Condemned to failure, penury, and
woe,
See me in vain and uselesSly implOre,
In answer not, and | return no more!'

CHARACTER FORMED BY
THOUGHT.

Every bit Of passion, every excited
state of mind, every discouraged or
respondent thought, all vibrations of
anger, hatred, revenge, jealousy, avar-
ice, or any sort of meanness, will be
recorded with scientific accuracy not
only in the warp and wool Of our char
acter, but also in the fiber of our
physical being. Similarly, if you send
current of hope, of love, of joy, or
generosity, of nobility, down through
the nervous system it will never stop
until it has set every cell in your
body into the same sort of vibration,
stamping hope and joy and gener-
osity and nobleness on every tissue
of the body and every faculty of the
mind. Every nerve, every atom in
your body will take on the character
and the quality of the thought, mo-
tive or mood which set it in motion

what seemed a long silence, the doc

This incident happened many years
ago. John Kennedy, in his middle
age, has many things to be thankful
for and happy about. Surrounded by
his ideal wife, two manly sons, and
two beautiful, accomplished daugh-
ters, his leisure hours are TRANQUILITY

turesque hill. The people have
shown their confidence in Johns
ability by electing him judge. A more
intellectual and fairer magistrate of
the law cannot be found throughout
the state.
When subjects are brought up in
the family circle, and John Kennedy's
advice sought, he never tires of tell
ing of the powerful efficacy of prayer.
Especially does he dwell upon the

often grants temporary favors, espe-
cially if they are good for the well
fare of the supplicator.

make another of a dozen men whom

WANTED THE POPE IN CHICAGO.

In a chapter entitled "Sixty Years
in Chicago" published in the pro-
ceedings of the Illinois Historical AS
ISOLATION, the late VIM. j. Onahan re-
lates this incident of the late P. d.
Armour:
With Mr.. Armour l long had a
pleasant and familiar acquaintance.
/ recall a curious little episode of our
intercourse. Meeting me one day at
a street corner he stopped to speak
to me of some passing events and
then, much to my surprise he said to
me: whats this we hear about the
Pope leaving Romeo" The question
was naturally a surprise to me as |
fancied Mr.. Armour would be about
the last man to be interested in the
movements or affairs of the Holy
Father. This was at a time when
Rome was threatened by the Pied
montese invasion, and there was con-
sequently talk of the Pope seeking
refuge and asylum out of Rome.
answered Mr.. Armour's inquiry, as
far as l remember, suggesting that
Malta, Austria or Spain, might offer
him an asylum. "Why don't you get
him to come to Chicago" he asked
at which / know | burst out laugh
ing. What are you laughing at he
said, "The Pope has to go somewhere
why not to Chicago" | answered,
81 am afraid, Mr.. Armour, that you
do not realize the Pope's condition
and responsibilities. The Pope means
a government of $50 millions scat
tered all over the world-over whom
he watches spiritually. This requires
quite an army of subordinate minis
tiers, functionaries and clerks to carry
on the world work; and he has in
Rome his Vatican palace with innu-
merable departments and he has the
renowned Cathedral at st. Peters,
ETC."

my harangue on the necessities of

MINT EXPECTS ORDERS FOR
MILLIONS OF MEDALS.

Every medal that the United States
government cOnfers is made in the
Philadelphia mint For the War De-
partment alone the big federal money
factory is at present turning out
twenty-five types of medals. The
badges of honor awarded to Marshals
FOch, Haig and Joffre and other dis
tinguished allied commanders were
the product of the mint.
Marshal Foch is reported to have
remarked that the American Distin-
guished Service medal is the most
handsome military decoration award
ed About 200 of these medals, of
bronze and brilliant blue enamel, are
made every week and turned over to
the War Department for shipment to
the camps and army headquarters at
home and abroad.
More than 5000 military crosses,
awarded for valor, already have been
shipped from the mint. In manufac-
turing these medals ten Impressions
are made by hydraulic press on a
small square of bronze, beginning
with 100 tons pressure and increas-
ing to $50 tons. After the disk has
been stamped in this fashion the cross
is cut out by machine. The medal is
then passed to workmen who fashion
the little cross bars from which it is
suspended, ribbons are attached and
the decoration is placed in a box
ready for delivery.
The United States Navy Medal of
Honor is also made at the mint An
order now being filled calls for 10000
Mexican service medals, attractive
bronze disks for the men who were in
the Vera Cruz expedition. Now that
the peace conference at Paris has ap-
proved the award of distinctive serv-
ice medal to every man who served in
any of the allied armies, the Philadel-
phia mint may be called upon to

SOLITUDE.

ences, but only unsatisfied desires; it
is for the middle-aged and the old,
for man when he has ripened and
wants to mellow his thoughts. A man
who retires with solitude must have
g. capital of thought and experience to-
live upon, or his soul will perish of
want. This capital must be reinvest-
ed in the things about him, or it will
not suffice. Either as farmer or a
student and lover of nature, or as
both, can he live as it were on the
interest of his stored-up wisdom.

strange that each guest makes for the

mands of his appetite.
My next great desire, now that the
church is finished, is to possess a
cemetery. This is needed as much
for the living as the dead. The CHI
nese think much about their ances-
tors, and the pagans have many cere-
monies in their honor. To show them
how Christians of the true religion
bury and pray for their dead in hal
lowed ground is to attract them for
ciby to the Faith. Therefore my next
aim is to consecrate burying

UGANDA.

Uganda is located in equatorial
Africa, north and west of Lake Nyan-
"a, and has an extent of thirty-four
thousand square miles, and about five
million people. The territory border
ing on the lake is wooded and noun
famous, farther north it becomes a
plain, and in the east, the vicinity of
Rubaga, the capital, the land is un-
dulating, fertile, and varied by deep,
narrow valleys. The natives of Ugan-
da, descendants of the Waganda and
Bantu races, are intelligent, tall, well
built, and have good features and
dark, chocolate colored skins. They
are brave and warlike, but have laws
which are administered by chiefs
and judges. They have some knowl-
edge of arithmetic and are fond of
music, the flute and kind of harp
being among their musical instru-
ments. Their metal work is far SUI
perior to any seen among the neigh
boring tribes, and they excel in max
ing pottery and baskets; also in the
weaving of bark cloth. Tanning, dye
ing, boat building, as well as the Gull
ture of coffee, sugar cane, maize and
other grains, employ numbers of the
people.
Uganda is governed by an absolute
sovereign, who is supposed to trace
his descent from Kinto, claimed to
be none other than Ham, the son of
Noah.
The pagans of Uganda erect no
statues of their gods, but they wear
amulets and employ many sorceries
Though courteous, and given to hos
pitality, they are also often indolent,
deceitful and treacherous. They take
kindly to the Faith, however, and
when converted make excellent Cath
olics.
