USELESS AND HARMFUL RE
GRETS.

1t is easy to let ourselves wish we
had done differently, but the only time
such regrets should be entertained is
when we have deliberately acted in
opposition to our best judgment. If
our course was decided by laziness or
cowardice or weakness, we have rea-
son to cry, ooh, if l only had done
differently" But that lament should
never pass our lips when we have
acted as we thought fer the best, after
trying our hardest to find the best
way Young men who are always in
dulging in regretful retrospect ought
to remember that in doing so they
impair their judgment and their will.
Not only do such regrets do no good,
but they do great deal OF harm, for
they lead us to doubt our Judgment
as we'll as our will,

SOMETHING ABOUT THE

Perhaps Oftener than any other ma

IgorOts spoken of, and it will be well
to know just who these people are
In an articles on the work of the Bel.
gian Foreign Mission Society in the
Philippine Islands, Rev. Joseph de
SENDER says:
IgOrOt is a general term applied to
those primitive Malays inhabiting the
mountains from the extreme northern
part of LuZon to the plains of Pangas-
imam and Eueya7 Ecija. It embraces
several groups, speaking different dia-
lects, and numbering altogether, | be-
IieVe, about six hundred thousand,
nearly all still heather souls.
Some of these IgOrOtS have made
advancement in civilization; however,
most of them are still quite wild and
are given to the savage custom of
head-hunting, but have, nevertheless,
many good qualities. They live in
small houses with chickens, dogs and
pigs. Some of them are skillful in
growing rice, which they water from
the mountain streams, the common
food being sweet potatoes.

STORY OF THE DEATH OF THE
." UGANDA MARTYRS.

The "CroiX' publishes an account
of the heroic martyrdom of those
young negroes, known as the Uganda
martyrs, after the narration written
thirty years ago by Mgr. Livinhac,
who at the time headed mission of
the "White Fathers in equatorial
Africa. The realistic story follows:
''It was in 1886. Deceived by cal
umnies artfully directed against the
Christians, the King of Ouganda, Mou.
anga, until then favorable to the Chris
tian religion, began by sending to
death his privy councillor, Joseph M.
Hasa, then two or three other Chris
tians of his court, who, according to
him, were guilty of the sole crime of
"praying' This was the signal for a
general persecution; the King declar-
ed that all who prayed were to be
slaughtered. K.
"The most worthy OF interest among
the victims of this sanguinary mad
ness were the Kings pages. Their
chief, Charles Louanga, a young man
twenty years old, was separated from
his companions, probably to shield
them against his influence.
"He was slowly burned alive; while
stirring the fire, the executioner would
say to him:
"Come on! Let God take you out
of the fire!' LIZ
"'You poor fool answered the mar.
tyr, you do not know what you are
speaking about. At this very mo.
ment, you are only pouring water on
my body, but some day to come the
Lord, you are insulting will dip you in
real fire.
1.-THE three youngest pages: Sim
con Sebouta, Denys Kamiouka, and
Oualebe, drew forth the hangman's
pity. He said to them:
Simply state that you will pray
no more, and the Kabek (King) will

Whereupon they proceeded to Mary
land and found shelter. And MARY
land interests us, says Mr. A. Maurice
Low in his book, "The American Peo-
ple,' las being the first and only
American Colony established to afford
a refuge to Roman Catholics"
Now how did these Marylanders,
who had been driven from Virginia
for their faith, and who might easily
have shown bitterness towards non
Catholics, treat those of other per-
suasions? Listen to Mr.. Low &c.
page 2SD: cat a time when Catho-
lies and Episcopalians were dis
franchised in Massachusetts and
Quakers were scourged at the cart
tail until their bodies ran with blood,
and Roger Williams was driven forth,
and John Cotton boldly proclaimed
that 1.-The Church never took hurt
from the punishment of heretics";
when Virginia compelled non-con-
formists to depart the colony and pre-
vented "popish recusants' from hold
ing Office, and Quakers were persecut-
ed as felOns, Maryland neither fiogged
nor manned, and instead of driving
out heretics opened her arms to
them
Moreover, I'm 1919, the Assembly
passed An Act concerning religion
the first American federation act that
shows the liberality of the lord pro-
prietor and his legislature"
"More liberation Than Their Ace"
But this is not the full story of their
Sweet reasonableness" towards non
Catholics. They handed on this spirit
of charity and forbearance to their
posterity. For circumstances had
made the Maryland Catholics more
modern and tolerant than their age,
and those qualities have ever charac-
terized the Church in American.
There has never been any clash of
authority between the Catholic hier-
archy in the United States and the
temporal power: no American Catho-
lie has served the Church and State
with divided allegiance; the Catholic
Church while teaching her own creed,
has ever taught the creed of Obedi-
ence to the State and respect for civil
authority. Catholicism in America
has not destroyed or weakened the
fiber of American Republicanism;
from a small beginning the Church
has grown and become a mighty in
strument in the development of
American character, but it has been
accomplished without the direct par
ticipation of the Church in politics.
These paragraphs ought to be in
serted in many a manual of history
now used in our schools. Mr.. C. F.
Lummis spent many years in trying
to remove the calumnies heaped upon
the Franciscan padres of the Pacific
Coast and finally succeeded in his
splendid work of historic reconstruct
ton" Would it not be worth while
to do little pruning in many his
torical text book read by thousands
of children in the United States?

BETTER THAN TALKING

The virtue of silence under trial is
one of the rarest virtues and the most
difficult to acquire; therefore, it is
most pleasing to God, and most con-
ducive to the strength and beauty of
Christian character.
1t is wisdom to say little concerning
the injuries you have received. We
are generally losers in the end if we
stop to refute all the back biting and
gossiping we may hear by the way.
They are annoying, it is true, but not
dangerous, SO long as we do not stop
to expostulate and scold.
1t is not hard to be good when you
have love and sympathy and encour-
agement, but to be good when not
one soul cares whether you live or
die, when your kindest thoughts, your
least selfish acts, your dearest sacri-
fees are treated alike with insult,
cruelty and contempt, to be good then
is the great accomplishment.
