marshalls, in full regalia and follow

But to do this he had to beg, ssnd
while poor he was proud and did not
like to do it. However, when things
looked very blue to him, he would
down his pride and go to the city

Sometimes the fathers, in moments
of compassion, would put small

CATHOLIC CHURCH DEBT FUND.
Menbers Of the Congregation Urged
10 Aid in Its Liquidation.

Over a year ago, with view of
devising ways and means of raising
the funds necessary to liquidate the
Catholic church debt which is of long
lstanding, Rev. c. M. Chambon, the
beloved pastor of the church, called
upon number of the leading Cath
olics of the community for their
opinion and advice upon this very
important matter. After consulta-
tion, it was decided to raise the
money by voluntary annual contribu-
tions; each family or individual MEM
ber of the congregation being asked
to Contribute each year according to
their means. Lists were opened and
many Catholics came forward cheer
fully to have their names inscribed
upon this roll of honor, and to stin-
ulate interest in the plan, Father
Chambon undertook to visit the par
ishoners at their homes or places of
business and urged upon them in
Iperson the necessity Of giving aid to
! the movement.
The work was progressing most
was called away to serve his country
as chaplain in the army. This nec-
essarily put an end to his personal
|calls on the Catholics, and since that
time interest in the proposition
|seems to have Jagged and contribu-
tions have been rather slow. Now
that Father Chambon has resumed
his pastoral duties, he has decided
to renew his efforts to awaken his
Pensioners to sense of their moral
lobligation in the matter. The be-
lloyed priest has sent out letters to
the members of his congregation
lin which he announces that the first
list of yearly voluntary contribu-
ttions to the church debt fund will be
.Iclosed on October 81.
He expresses the hope that none
will take advantage of his inability
to call upon them personally, owing
to his absence for the past year, to
5Iavoid his duty to his church. He
lsays that the debt is due by all Cath
olics and should be paid by all. To
those who have subscribed to the
fund and paid, he extends sincere
thanks. Those who have subscribed
land not yet paid he urges that they
make their promise good before
NOV. /, and he asks those who have
not yet subscribed to follow the ex-
|ample Of the other good parishoners
who are doing their part towards
Iiiquidating this debt. The names
|of the contributors will be published
lin pamphlet form and distributed at.
tier the close of the lists.
u It is sincerely to be hoped that the
Catholics Of this community will take
] ,lheed Of Father Chambon's request
: and contribute according to theil
,,Imeans to the church debt fund. This
ldebt has been pending for many
IIyears. It is an obligation which rest:
u Iupon every Catholic Of this commu
..s1|nity, and every one should have y
4 IIpart in its liquidation. Under tht
& plan adopted, it is proposed to re
lduce the debt gradually, by paying
certain part thereof every year, url
It'll it is finally wiped out. If every
Catholic will do his duty and con
tribute small sum out Of his earn
ings each year to this fund, tae OBJ
litigation will be paid in few year:
without burden, strain or incon
venience to any one and to the pleas
lure and qualification of all.

"The organization Of American
women is something the English

"They never heard of such thing
as our nationwide organization for

cations seldom extending beyond a

Mrs. Vanderlip regretted that she
could not confess to having been a
suffragist at the age of three, or
having been converted by Susan B.
Anthony at ten. She never thought
much about women voting, she said,
until she was the mother of children.
al read an article in a London
0aper," she said, "about a man who
had recently become the father of
twins and was asking lawyer
whether or not he could collect two
maternity benefits. I was so in.
censed at the notion of the fathers
getting any maternity benefit that
took my stand then and there for
women's rights.
II studied the whole question of
childhood and motherhood and de-
cided that women should have more
power in determining the conditions
under which their children are
brought up, and this could come
about only through the vote.
