THE LITTLE BOYS LAMENT.

Oh, why must always be washed so
clean,
And scrubbed and dressed for Sunday,
When you know very well, for you've
always seen,
That I'm dirty again on Monday?
My eyes are filled with the lathery
soap,
Which adorns my ears and dripping;
And my smarting eyes I can scarcely
ope,
And on my lips the suds are slipping.
It's down my neck and up my nose,
And to choke me you seem to be try
ing; "a
That I'll shut my mouth you need not
suppose, r
For how can keep from crying?

You rub as hard as ever you can,
And your hands are hard, to my sor-
row.
No woman shall wash me when I'm a
man,
And l wish I was one tomorrow

REJOICE IN YOUR SACRIFICES.

lnsistent calls for help in feeding
the starving Chinese have been issued
through our mission publications and
while they have not been so widely
answered as desired, still they did not
fall entirely on deaf ears. The money
was at once forwarded to China and
an expression of gratitude received
from Rev. p Montaigne, of Central
Cheli, may be considered as typical of
the sentiments of all the priests thus
helped:
Il do not know how to thank the
friends of this afflicted country for the
aims sent to the famine sufferers l
receiver the offering just as ] was
about to visit mission where two
hundred have already died and many
others are condemned to death unless
cared for at once. Most of our Chris.
tians belong to the poorer class, and
even in better times had little enough
nourishment. Now, of course, they
are completely helpless.
AS for the mandarins and other To-
cal authorities. they are not accus.
toned to. trouble themselves about the
poor, and so the wretched people have
only one resource-the missions.
If the Catholics of America only
realized the immensely of the good
their aims are doing in China they
would rejoice in the sacrifices they
have made. Not only suffering Eodies,
but darkened souls are going to be
saved for happier existence

derstanding for them. And when the
reasons are asked for, they are such
pitiful, puny and insufficient ones.
Snobbery is at the root of most of
them-a miserable setting up of 4 pitt
full ideal OF social position or worldly
gain before religion ,s&
The sending of Catholic child to
a non-Catholic school may seem a
small thing. 1t may mean gain of
social or educational prestige, but it
means an irreparable loss to the child
which may leave mark on its whole
life. 1t is the introduction of the vital
essence and atmosphere of religion in
to the everyday lives of the children
which is of such tremendous import
ance, and which nothing in after life
can ever replace.
1t is foolish to pretend that in the
stress and strain and with the multi
farious duties of modern life the aver
age mother, however we'll intentioned,
can ever hope to reproduce in her
home the spiritual atmosphere-the
enveloping aura of religion which
clings round a convent. There is no
mother so blind to the interests of the
child as not to admit being a Catholic,
the stupendous advantages to be
gained for girl-child, from lelig-
ious point of view, by a convent edu-
cation. 1t is so obvious that it needs
no argument tfs
And while admitting that, among
the tangled maze of ife's complexity,
there is only one ideal for our girls
the ideal of womanhood raised for us
by the Catholic Church, we willingly
and with open eyes, turn from that
ideal and let our children's eyes be
blinded by the glamor of material and
social advantages to the exclusion of
the vital and the dominating claims of
religion as the first and vital princi-
pies of their lives.
There may be many Catholic moth.
ers now who glory in the added adj
vantages, social and educational,
gained by their children in a non-Cath-
Ollie school, But there may come a
| day when these perishable, evanescent
glories will stand them in poor stead,
and all that they fix their eyes upon
will be the cross of Christ from which
they turned in their blindness.

"THOSE WOMEN WHO HAVE LA
BORED WITH US IN THE
GOSPEL"

u. Beyond price is the work done by
the various Sisterhoods in pagan lands.
Orphans, the aged, the sick, all come
under the kindly care of missionary
nuns and by gentle degrees are
brought to the safe shelter of the
Church.
K. Mother Louise writes from the
BIotherhouse of the Canonesses of ST.
Augustine, Canal ST., Louvain, Bel
GUM, to make known the needs of her
companions in the Belgian Congo, Az
RIGA. The Bassongos, among whom
the Sisters have gone, had never seen
a white woman before, but they now
love the Doctor-Mothers, as they call
athe nuns. This is an appropriate
name for the helpful medicines that
tare given in the hospital and wher-
ever the sick can be reached make
the white women seem both mothers
and physicians If only there was
plenty of money to procure these rem
edies for the poor Blacks! But the
purses are always nearly empty and
it is only by constant reminders that
the nuns are able to maintain their
numerous enterprises. So place the
Belgian Sisters of st. Augustine on
your list.

Treasurer of the Society for the Prop
agation of the Faith, New York, has
received from the Rev. John Phelan,
a donation from the Clergy of the
Sioux City Diocese for the foundation
of scholarship for student in the
Vicariate of Shui-chow, China. His
offering has been acknowledged by
Right Rev. J. Versiglia, Vicar Apostol-
ic.
This action on behalf of the Sioux
City Clergy may stimulate the Clergy
of other Dioceses to do likewise What
makes it easy for these to cooperate
in this blessed work is-that for
every $500 more or less, donated for
this purpose, copies of a 10c book of
40 pages will be sent gratis per in
sured mail by the Publishers to each
Clergyman, corresponding to his do
nation.
This approved booklet, the Christian

A LITTLE JAZZ FOR SOME LEPERs
IN AFRICA.

In a remote corner of Oar es Salam
Vicariate, formerly a German E.. AT
rican mission, there is an humble hos
pital for lepers, under the direction of
Rev. J. Cravegna. He tells pathetic
story of the loss of the one means of
entertainment precurable for the hope
less sufferers and suggests something
entirely new in the way of mission Of
ferings.
The Father says:
Il take my courage in both hands
and make bold to speak of pressing
need. At the time of the German
Benedictines, there was a gramaphone
at a Leper Asylum The lepers were
fond of it, but during the war, the
soldiers took away with them all the
records and damaged the spring and
some other things Of the gramaphone.
1t is utterly ruined now. The Iepers
ask me for another gramaphone; but
what can do, being poorer than ST..
Francis of Assist?
Il wonder if some friend can find a
secondhand gramaphone with some
records for my asylum. 1t would help
the poor outcasts to cheer up.
Il am unable to thank my benefac-
tors, as l should wish, from this far
country. But I promise, with all my
heart, to be grateful and to pray daily
for them.

INDIA is SHORT OF LARoRERs.

] Bishop Brault, o. M. l., of Jaffna,
Ceylon, in sending a report for 1920,
complains of the lack of priests in his
diocese. He says:
I'VE are far from being nun erous
enough to cope with so many various
works and to meet the temporal and
spiritual needs of our Christians, thir-
sty-four missionaries on active service
to look after fffty-six thousand Catho-
lies scattered over great distances, Of
ten in unhealthy localities This is
too few indeed! One has also to take
into account sickness. especially marsh
fevers. We have at present four OF
our missionaries laid up with malaria,
who can be replaced only by over
burdening the healthy ones. In these
conditions the evangelization of the
heathens leaves much to be desired.
Pray therefore that our Lord may send
laborers into this vast field where SO
many souls are in need of the bread
of Gods word and there is no one to-
give it to them
Our financial wants are not less
urgent. Many of our missions are
very large. Perhaps some charitable
souls inspired by God will come to the
help of our poor missions.
"Onr missionaries, weighed down
with work, have hardly the leisure to
acqnaint American readers with their
works. am myself taking measures
to make them get out of their long ST.
lence."

is without a statue in the open, except
those few which date as far back as
the imperialistic age.
Second, on the list of subscribers
the name of not a single Catholic APP
pears, All are Mohammedans, He
brew, Schismatic, etc. First is the
name of the Sultan of Turkey, then
come those of the Grand Rabbi, the
Schismatic Patriarch, bankers, mill
tary officers, and others.
This information, taken with that
given by the Dominican Sisters of
Bagdad, seems to show that some peo-
pie of the Orient are losing their vio-
lent prejudice against Catholics. In
the case of Constantinople the Catho.
lies purposely stood aside and al
lowed those who differed most from
Catholic doctrine to attest admiration
for Benedict XIV.
Would that the Armenians and the
Chaldeans could report happier days
after their awful suffering!
