: A FRIEND IN NEED
STORY OF X. OF c. PRACTICAL
AiD-SEcRETARY RISES At 2
A. M. TO HELP BOYS.

Writing in the Catholic Universe Of
London, A. F.. Thayer gives this pic
Eture: = F'"...v T@''-'A&- hi, II
s'Ahoy there--open up!" }'.* f.
I. A short period of silence followed in
the dark street under the caves of the
K. of c. Club in Southampton. Then
Secretary Jack Cannon stuck his head
out of an upper story window and
reared: - H. ID. -.
What is it lads. this at o'clock
in the morning. T.:
Sixteen of us Yanks down here,
and we want BEDS" was the reply.
"All right, hang on down there for
moment, and I'll open the doors and
let you all in shouted Jack, and his
red head disappeared from the win
dow. He descended, took the boys
into his arms, and escorted them up to
the commodious lounge.
They were a sorry-looking lot.
Dusty and dirty, stained with travel
from France and the Rhine, and with
kits that would make a horse groan.
Secretary Morgan had piled out of
bed, and they soon had steaming
coffee and sandwiches ready for the
"doughboys." 1t was mighty welcome.
Although the Club was fairly full up
at the moment, Morgan and Cannon
managed to find room for every one of
the boys in the dormitories, with an
overflow in the lounge, where setteees
and chairs had been converted into
beds, and even the secretaries gave up
their beds.
The next morning Captain Mitchell
Port Executive Office of the U. S.
Navy, telephoned to the X. of G. Club
and inquired about the number of men
cared for the night previous.
When told ''about fifty he whistled
But you have only 20 beds, I I'M
derstand?"
AT the moment" replied Morgan;
"but we rustled more, and doubled the
boys up However, if you will call
around will explain how those SO
slept in 20 beds" ..- i.
Captain Mitchell did call, and when
shown what had been done he was
pleased and astonished.
well, believe me, Morgan, from this
time on l back the X. of C.. They are
certainly on the JOB, and We'll look to
you to take care of the boys from now
on. Anything we can do for you, call
on us, and we will cooperate"
And how the American Consul called
at the Club and not only endorsed the
X. of C. work, but Communicated SO
beds and equipment from the Red
| Cross is another story, and a good
one, too.
That the present X of c.. Club will
| be enlarged is a sure bet, and then
| watch the fur fiy. -.

CREDIT GIVEN. FIGHTING .z
.~. PRIEST OF, SIxTY-NlNTH.

THE unusual bravery shown by the
famous SiXty-ninth New York regiment
of the Rainbow division, was due in q
great measure to the inspiration of its
chaplain, the Rev. Father Francis p.
Duffy" said ALI S. Helmer, a member
of that division, while speaking in Salt
Lake recently.
Mr.. Helmer, who was awarded the
CroiX de Guerre for risking his life in
an attempt to rescue comrades who
had been buried by bomb explosion,
declared that his actions would have
been impossible had it not been for the
heroic example set by the chaplain.
4 had seen Father Duffy" he con-
tinued, rush into the fumes of asphyX-
iating gas and tear off his mask that
he might administer the last Sacra-
ments to a dying soldier, and I could
not bear the thought of appearing cow
ardly while he was with the regiment.
The father was always brave and self
sacrificing, and, though | am not a
Catholic, his example did more for me
than anything else, and l am sure my
experience was the common one OF the

EDIFYING TRAITS OF THE OR
PHANS OF ST. MONICA, AFRICA.

In order to merit the favor Of re-
ceiving baptism and making their
First Communion, there are no sacri-
fees, nothing that they will not prom
Use to do.
After committing fault these little
girls often deprive themselves Of their
afternoon lunch, or, they ask to be
given only half of their dinner portion,
or to be allowed to make the sacrifice
of their recess that they may have
something to offer to God. Little Hell
yma had to take bad dose of medi-
cine: @FCome now she. was told,
; take it TO please your good teacher"
NO" she answered very emphatical-
ly, TO please Jesus alone"
During Holy Week they vie with
one another in practicing acts of NOR
tificatiOn: Il am going to make three
acts of obedience |, four of 81
lence . |, six of kindness,' Little
Adjouba, barely six years old, asked
to be whipped that the devil might
go way. Louise, still younger, having
made a face about something, kissed
the floor three times as a penance,
and said in her baby way Of speaking:
Me not go back to my seat-deVil in
my place."
They are also so grateful for all
that has been done for them; they
love to enumerate the good things
that the Heavenly Father showers
upon His children. When asked: How
does God show us that He loves us?
the answers succeed one another with
such rapidity that it is a JOY to heal
them: "He gives us bread the
sun, a home. He prevents us
from dying during the night. When
the sea makes big noise He does not
let it come as far, as we are-tO drown
us. :. He gave us our dear Sisters.
He came on earth to teach us obedi
ence. He brought us the Gospel. .
He gave us the Blessed Virgin for ouI
Mother. :" and SO on; we could ado

that the seed has not fallen on barren

REFUTES A CHARGE.

One of the silly charges hurled at
the Catholic Church is that it. seeks
to make the United States Catholic
This charge is hurled by demagogues
who are ruled by their prejudices
rather than their reason, and is in
tended for consumption by other pre-
JUDGED beings who cannot, or will not
think two thinks in row.
The Nethodists would like to see
all the people join the Methodist
church. The same is true of the Bap,
lists, and is also true of the Presby-
terians. Do these creatures expect
the priests to do their utmost to make
America Presbyterian?
Naturally Catholics would like to
see America become Catholic, just as
Methodists would like to see every
body join their church and Presby
terians would be pleased if everybody
would join their church and the Bap
fists would like to see everybody be
come Baptists.
In working to that end they have
the sanction of our constitution back
of them. When the day comes that
this nation is made anti-CathOlic
anti-Methodist or anti-anything else
just then will have been stricken from
our constitution one of it's most sacred
and highly cherished guarantees-that
OF religious freedom.

are and as they should be, and don't

where it is question of dealing with
an epidemic Invoking science, of
which they possess little, they make
themselves guilty of the most glaring-
ly unscientific methods in dealing with
a frightened populace. One of these
men, upon the appearance of the dis
ease in the place, at once ordered the
church closed as the most important
preventive measure. Officials of this
school have only disdain for the priest.
And yet, in this epidemic, as in other
similar ones, in many places, it is the
priest, and not the official, who pro-

CHOLERA IN PHILIPPINES.

\ missionary of the Province of
Nueva Segovia, Philippine Islands,
writes:
Our people are passing through
very serious epidemic of a cholera-like
disease | say cholera-like, because,
having lived for SO many years in the
home of Asiatic cholera, | cannot con-
slider the disease real cholera, although
it is officially called SO. It's symp-
toms and course show it to be differ
ent, even as the flu was different from
all similar diseases known before.
I'm this connection we had quite a
striking coincidence, the other day, in
our immediate neighborhood An Off
cial of public health was addressing
the assembled principal men of a town
about the means of preventing the
spread of the epidemic. Concluding
der a similar menace, seek the pro-
lection of Almighty God, and that that,
to be sure, is more effective than any
thing within the ken of man. He was
promptly called to time by one of his
hearers, who reminded him that pro-
fessional and scientific advice was eX.
pected of him, and no religious adj
moniton The objector was in per
feet health at the time, and presum
ably confident that he knew more
about prophylactics than his less en-
lightened neighbors. The very next
Cay he was buried, having. succumbed
to an attack of the epidemic. Need
less to add, the occurrence produced
a deep impression in the locality. SO

~ THAT MYSTERIOUS "YELEoW

a touching interest attaches to. this
recital of what threatened to be a ter
rible tragedy. There may be prohibi-
ton in many parts of the world, but it
is not yet bone dry in the Cobb desert,
which is a sandy waste in the north
western part Of China, nor does all the
liquid refreshment there come from a
spring in the oasis. But listen to the
words of Rev. A. Van Der Velde, B. F.
NJ, missionary to the Ortos, Shansi
Revolution is in the air nowadays,
and to prevent, if possible, an attack
on the mission by wandering bands
of soldiers or brigands, l recently
made a trip into the Cobb desert to
ask the protection of the king of one
of the powerful tribes inhabiting that
region.
"Arriving at the group of tents COM
prising the royal residence, l was
greeted with courtesy by the king.
