CURACAO Is TO HAVE A NATIVE
PRIEST.

Curacao is an island off the northern
coast of South America and the mis-
sion work is directed by Bishop Vuyls-
tcfe, O. P, and few Dutch Domini-
can priests. The people are poor and
of the Black race,
Hitherto no, one dreamed of seeing
any of the natives aspire to the priest.
hood, but as elsewhere in the apostolic
world vocations are beginning to ap-
pear in Curacao. A young colored boy
has decided to become a priest and so
hopeful is the Bishop that this first
candidate will persevere in his ambi-
ton that he has decided to send him
to the Dominican College in Holland,
there to begin the regular course of
studies.
This vocation is a great triumph for
the missionaries of Curacao who labor
under many difficulties, and is surely
but the forerunner of many others.

TWO AMERICAN MISSIONARIES
DEPART FOR AFRICA.

La Salette College in Hartford,
Conn, conducted by the Fathers of
La Salette, was the scene of an inn
pressive ceremony on Wednesday,
January 26. On that day two young
priests, Father Breault and Father
Cote, took formal leave of their asso-
oiates to go to their far-off missions
in Madagascar, where the Fathers OF
La Salette are working under Bishop
Dantin.
Bishop. Milan Of Hartford, assisted
at the Solemn High Mass, and with
him in the sanctuary were the Right
Rev. Mgr. Joseph Freri, National Di-
rector of the Society of the Propaga-
ton of the Faith, Right Rev. Mgr.
George Waring, Vicar to Archbishop
Hayes of New York, Very Rev. s. For
estier, NJ. S., and Rev. M. Sullivan
The sermon was preached by Rev. F..
Ledwith, NJ. S., Father Breault was
celebrant of the Mass. -
The large congregation was made
up of students, delegations from nu-
merous Sisterhoods of Hartford, and
relatives and friends of the new mis-
sionaries.
A special interest centers in Father
Breault and Father Cote as they are
the first native-born Americans to be-
come apostles in Africa since 1841,
when Father Kelley and Father Bar
ron left Baltimore to attempt the con-
version of the negroes of Liberia on
the west coast of Africa.
Madagascar is fruitful field for the
missionaries and these pioneers de-
serve the encouragement of their COM
patriots that they may be able to reap
the harvest that stands ready foEs the
workers X

MASS OFFERINGS MEAN MUCH
y IN THE MISSION WORLD. 2

, Bishop Mungarri, o. p, has been
very successful in his Vicariate in
Central Tonkin, and already has one
hundred and thirty-eight ordained
priests, and a number of students in
the seminary He acknowledges with
deep gratitude that it is only by the
help of Mass intentions sent from the
United States that he is able to keep
this seminary open and to support his
clergy. Therefore the very life of the
missions in this part of Tonkin, where
the Dominicans have been laboring
for many years, depends on the Cath
olics of the United States. Send your
Mass stipends to the poor priests in
the missions where they have a two
fold value.

PRAY FOR THE MISSIONARIES.

3 q - = Is . -
1--WE need men, money and prayers
the prayers most Of ALL
These words come from Bishop Fai-
sander, S. j., of Trichinopoly, India,
and show that no matter how hard
pressed the apostles are for material
assistance, they place prayers as of
first value.
Who cannot say.ia few prayers?
Practically no one. Therefore be gen.
erous with petitions and have conf
dence that they will be granted. Over
and over again come assurances from
missionaries that in crises when all
seems lost, help that was little short
of miraculous came at the last mo-
ment to; save the day. II am sure
write these priests, that some one
was praying for our mission, and that
the prayer was answered"

in the Tonga Islands showing that he
already feels at home there, so to
speak, for he says:

existed here in former times. The
greatest insult one angry Tongan can
hurl at his opponent is: Go eat yotir

1T means immediate fight, because
it means that the individual to whom
it is flung is SO low, vile and debased
that he would not recoil from eating
the flesh of his own parent, just as
some depraveds character must at some
time have done.
Now the Tongan is generally mild

he is a devil; he would strike with

AERlcA's INsIplous SLAVERY.

Though officially abolished, slavery
still exists in almost every part of
Africa. It. is an insidious slavery,
practiced among the tribes in the re-
mote seclision of the jungle and often
masquerading under the guise of re-
ligious observances or business trans
actions. The stronger tribes exact

when the sorcerer needs a victim one

to carry him through the crisis.
Condition Apparently Improves
During the latter part Of February
the condition of the famous singer i'm
was necessary for him to undergo a
third operation for another small alb
scess. A few weeks later he was re-
moved to Atlantic City where he rested
up preparatory TO his return to Italy
Word Of the first illness Of Caruso at
the time he was stricken with pleurisy
came as a shock to his many friends in
this country and abroad. as he had been
singing with the Metropolitan Opera
Co. early last winter, here and In
Philadelphia. and was enjoying one OF
the best seasons Of his life.
Up TO the time Of his sailing for Italy
reports we're current that Caruso' s
voice had not withstood the ravages OF
his many weeks Of illness. These were
stoutly denied by his friends.
Police reserves and dock guards had
great difficulty in holding in check O
great crowd Of admirers as they greeted
Caruso when he went aboard the steam
ship, where his most intimate friends
bid him and Mrs. Caruso farewell.
Conflicting Reports From Italy
Shortly after the tenor had arrived in
Italy. however. reports began TO drift
back to this country that he would not
sing again before the American public
in his old voice Caruso. however, i'm
mcdiately cablcd a denial Of those re-
ports, declaring that. "When I want
to show | have not lost my voice will
do so at the proper time and place
During July word came from Italy
that Caruso was not recovering as rap
idly as had been expected and seemed
depressed. but friends declared his voice
was returning and that he sang short
time each day.
Reports reaching Rome stated that
Carnso would be able to sing In New
York by next winter. though friends re-
luctantly admitted It will never be
quite the same again" Caruso was also
reported 10 bc living a secluded life In
a hotel near Naples, never mixing with
the other hotel guests, and taking his
meals in his private suite.
A Courageous Performance
His performance on the occasion Of
his breakdown in Brooklyn last De-
cember while singing in "Elisor
d'Amor" was gallant: he struggled
through the whole first act. although
time and again blood choked his voice,
