dered you to kill me. If you fail to
do it you yourself will be seized.
Moreover, know very well why l am

killed."
Mukajjanga saw that all his eff
forts to win over his son were use
less. At the same time he could not
bear to burn his own son alive. So
he told one of his men to undo the
ropes with which the boy was bound,
to stun him with blow from his
stick and then to throw the body into
the fire. This was begun. The man
got heavy club and struck the boy
on the head; but striking harder than
he intended, he killed the little lad
with the one blow and then threw
the corpse to one side into pit.
A work that can win such martyrs
is worth supporting. Little Mbaga

THE BUILDING QUESTION IN MIS-

Rev. ]. Champeyral, P. F. NJ, writes
from Kwei Yang, in the Vicariate of
Kweichow, China, and 1t would seem
that the building question agitates
him, like so many others who write to
the National Office of the s. p. F.
Evidence of his impoverished state
was given when the Bishop of Kwei-
chow, Mgr. Seguin, paid his last visit
to Kwei Yang. So tumble down was
the presbytery that the Bishop thought
of going to the inn to stay, fearing
that the house would fall in while he
was there. He advised the poor priest
to repair or rebuild at once, lest seri-

his wallet was empty. The Bishop re.

SIGNAL HONOR PAID TO FRAN
cIScAN NUNS IN CHINA.

In January last the Franciscan Mis-
sionaries of Mary in the Changchung
Mission of China received a sig
nal mark of favor from the community.
The Project of the city directed that
a tablet be presented to the nuns bear
ing a complimentary inscription. This
tablet was borne with great pomp and
ceremony to the convent and with it
went letter containing the following
tribute.
"Chanchung was a desolate city
some ten years ago and there were
very few schools. But now Chang
chung becomes great port and pop
ulous place; schools are established,
more and more every year. But though
the schools are more numerous, there
are very few good ones. Your school,
as l know, is the best one in Chang
chung. The education given is very
good. Many boys who have no par
ents or home are kept by you. There
fore now present tablet to you on
which l write four Chinese letters
which express my gratitude. Hoping
you will kindly receive it.
"Yours sincerely,

cARMELlTES AND THEIR LITTLE
CHARGES.


The Carmelite Sisters of the Latin
Rite have a large number of children
under their care at Ernakulam, South
India. Some of the little ones are
orphans and some catchumens-those
who must be supported while prepar-
ing for baptism.
The Superior, Sister M. Veronica,
says the community is hard pressed
for many things, among them, being
space. The crowding is very bad, and
if another building could be secured
the nuns could live more comfortably
and a greater number of children be
received.
1t happens that there is a good
house and compound next to the pres
ent orphanage, and thus the nuns
would like to secure it at once, as
some Mohammedans are looking at
the property and will doubtless buy
it if it remains long on the market.
The presence of Mohammedans as
near neighbors will be a real calamity
to the nuns and their little children,
and to avoid this Sister Veronica asks
friends of the foreign missions. to
come to her rescue.

THE LAZARISTS IN CHINA,

The Lazarists Congregation of the
Missions) did splendid pioneer work in
China, and of it's fifty Vicariates they
still have charge of ten. The Blessed
Perboyre, martyred in the persecution
of 1910, was a son of st. Vincent de
Paul, and Blessed Clet, whose centen-
airy has been celebrated in Hupeh, was
one of the early LaZarists to give his
life for the founding of the Faith in
China The Irish Vincentians now
share in the apostolic labors of the
French LaZarists.
1t was in 1882 that the first priests
of this Congregation began an active
propaganda in China, although two or
three apostles entered the country as
easily as 1897.

WHY NOT TRY LAY APOSTLES IN
CHINA?

Rev. George NJ Stem, S. ", D., of
Shantung, puts forth novel and prac-
teal idea-one that deserves more
than passing attention. Why shouldn't
lay Catholics in pagan lands combine
a little propaganda with their business
pursuits? Why shouldn't they become
the Big Brothers Of the missionary
movement?
Father Stem says on this head:

Il will try to explain by few ex:

Protestant missionaries in part are
not preachers. Some are merchants
some teachers. One or two were
principals of schools in the Province
of Shansi, another postmaster-general
in another province. One cultivated
large tracts of land in the name of the
government, and one even held the
Office of consul. In these positions
these men can do more for Christian

NEWS FROM THE MISSIONS.

Bishop Streicher, NJ A., Vic. Apost.,
Katingondo, Uganda, writes: "To the
thanks which the Superior of my
great seminary addresses to you | beg
to add the expressions of my personal
gratitude for your generous and in
defatigable charity. That charity
which nothing can discourage is GER
tainly most pleasing to God, for of all

who, are yours, dear and venerated
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. who profit by the
bounties founded by you-are the ones
who succeed the best. They seem to
be the special portion of our Lord,
the object of a very special benedic-
ton. The three clerics who are to re-
ceive subdeaconship and deaconship
three days hence are all three the
adopted sons of your beniicent work
for the African missions"
Father Beduschi, F. S. c., Kitgum,
Soudan, writes: ct is a little more
than two years since I came here to
Kitgum to establish the mission. For
the construction of a house for the
missionaries, a chapel, school and
a house for catechumens the expense
has not exceeded the sum of 500 be-
cause the buildings are made of brush
wood very small and without windows.
Today after all the work, these same
structures threaten to fall by reason
of the tropical rains. The number of
Christians increases continually. There
are $50 Acrolis, these are neophytes
of the country itself, and many others
are expected. On the feast of the
Assumption at least so will receive
baptism; on the feast of Holy Rosary
we shall have so more for baptism and
still others for the Immaculate Con-
ception. But where can we lodge this
multitude for prayer? The Christians
have thirst for the Sacraments and
all would desire to approach the Holy
Table every day"

THE ExEcUTlONER'S OWN SON
AMONG THE MARTYRS OF
UGANDA.

1t was hard day for the chief ex-
ecutioner, Mukajjanga, as well as for
his son, Mbaga Tuinde; for the latter
was among the prisoners the father
had to put to death. The boy had
not yet been baptized, being only
catechumen. Several times had the
father implored the son to listen to
his good advice and allow him to tell
the king that he was not Christian.
But the son remained firm as a rock;
and when he saw his companions were
being tied up he did not vince in the
least. When his turn came, he joyful
ly put out his feet and not shadow
of fear came over his face.
When, however, the moment drew
near for the wood to- be set on fire,
the poor father, giving way to his
hearts affection, made last attempt
to save his son. my child" he said
tenderly, hear me, do. Let me hide
you in my hut! no one comes in there,
SO no one will think Of looking for

and hundreds of new applications have
reached the Senate. There is a VERT
able food of them. Wrecked house
holds are as numerous as that
amongst our friends of the English
language! 1t is well understood that
French Canadians, faithful to the
teachings of the Church, hardly ever
figure in the annals of divorce. They
have all the proper respect for the
sacredness of the marriage bond
Hence the bill of Senator Ross will
have little attraction for our represen-
tatives in the two Houses. In fact of
the deplorable abuse which has been
committed in the United States and
England on the subject of divorce, the
Federal Government certainly ought
to hesitate to allow bill such as
the Senate is discussing at the pres
ent time to become law.

DIVORCE.

The bill of Senator Ross propos-
ing to create divorce courts in the diff
ferent provinces of the Dominion ex-
cept Quebec, will be easily adopted in
the Senate, says La Patrie, of Mont
real. A more strenuous opposition is
likely to be offered in the House of
Commons, but there is no doubt the
measure will become law. Some idea
of the evil which the new legislation
will bring about can be gathered from
consideration of the number of appli-
cations for divorce now pouring in
upon Ottawa. Since Senator Ross has
undertaken to facilitate the means by
which married couples who can no
longer endure each other may break
their legal marriage bonds, hundreds

were not at least some one who had
the grace and the aptitude and the
courage for this noblest of all works
bringing the light of Gods truth
to those who sit in the darkness of
the shadow of death. Those of us
who are less heroic must at least do
what we can. We can help with our
prayers, and we can help with our
money. Both these things we should
do as a parish and as individuals.
Money was never so plentiful here
as it is today. Yet every Catholic
mission in the world is suffering from
the lack of means. The heroic priests
and sisters who have devoted their
lives to work among heathens are
crying to us to help them save Gods
abandoned children. If they had the
money, they could build more schools
and churches and dispensaries. If
they had the money, they could re-
ceive more abandoned children into
their asylums and thus train them
up Christians. If they had the mon
ey, they could support more active
catechists to teach these benighted
people If we never deprive our
selves Of anything in food or cloth
ing or conveniences or pleasures to
help these priests and sisters who
have sacrificed home and all that life
holds dear, are we doing our share
for the heathens in extreme spiritual
need? Are we keeping Gods law of
charity?"
