THE SACRED SPECIES MIRACU.
LOUSY SAVED.

The church described by Rev. D.
Perrissoud is in the city of Perak,
Malacca, Malay States. 1t was burned
not long ago to the great sorrow of
priest and people.

started at once, to see with horror big
flames coming out from the roof of
the church. l hurried out to try and
save something from the disaster, and
first of all, the Blessed Sacrament.
Alas, it was too late. When | sue

nearest to the altar, l saw the altar
and the ceiling all in flames Impos-
sible to enter the church. BY nat
ural impulse / made a mental prayer
to the Most Holy Sacrament. With
in twenty minutes the whole church,
with furniture, organ and vestments,
was altogether destroyed by fire.

ed what had become of the sacred
species. To my great surprise and re-

able contents we're not consumed: the
Finger of God had been there; so
much SO, as the tabernacle was made
of wood as we'll as the altar and the
whole building.
"The church had not been insured.
i had at once to exert myself to find
the funds necessary for rebuilding a
provisional chapel The Indian Cath
olics of Teluk Arson. who are feryent
devotees to ST. Anthony, promised to
do their utmost to help me. But the
Catholic population here is composed
of poor coolies quite unable to sub
scribe by themselves "a fair amount
towards the necessary expenditure;
the less SO as the new church must
be considerably larger than the for
mer one.
Therefore | requested our Bishop,
the Right Rev. E. Barillon, to allow
me to go round the mission and ap-
peal to all the generous souls that
may be able and willing to help.
Thereupon the great war broke out,
and | had to leave my dear work and
answer the call of my native coun-
try.
Il have just returned and resumed
my duty in the mission-field a few
months ago, and at once set to work
again to raise some funds for build
ing a new suitable church. The pres
emit time is most unfavorable for sub
scriptions in this country, the price
of rubber having sunk very low, and
the cost of living risen very high
What can do? My poor Catholics,
who number over a thousand, have
been churchless for the past six and
one-half years. How distressful it is
to keep them waiting any longer

Mgr scianow, Vicar Apostolic Q

Mgr, Scianow, Vicar Apostolic OF
Macedonia, was banished by the
Greeks from his residence at Saloni-
ka, and after four years exile now
finds himself without a single posses
sion. These relentless enemies also
destroyed the missions of the Resur-
rectionists and Assumptionists in
Thrace, closed the Grand Seminary
of the Lazarists near Salonika, and
imprisoned, killed or banished all the
Bulgarian Catholic priests.
Our poor exiles of Macedonia and
Thrace who have taken refuge in diff
ferent parts of Bulgaria cling faithful
ly to their religion and are moreover
doing all they can to propagate the
idea of union with Rome. Ii we had
resources we would not hesitate to
open new missions in Bulgaria, and we
believe that our seven thousand fugi-
tives would increase their number in
spite of the atmosphere of schism
which surrounds us"

CHINA, THE ADOPTED CHILD OF
= AMERICAN CATHOLICS.

Secular papers state that China has
a warm. regard for America. Catho
lies of the United States will do much
to cement this bond since all eyes
from mission point of view, seem
to be turning Chinaward. a.
In connection with this movement
comes this bit of information from
Bishop P. Dumond, c.. NJ, of Tientsin
"A telegram from Rome tells me
that l am to be transferred to Kians
ST, to direct a new Vicariate now be
ing formed. My residence will be al
Kan Chow XII. News has also reached
me that priests for these missions will
be recruited from Lazarists of the
United States, but nothing official re
garding the matter has as yet come.

BISHOP RENzIeER's REPORT.

Bishop Benziger, of ,Quilon, India,
who belongs to the Carmelites, sends
report full of interest. In the first
place, more than three thousand con-
versions were made last year. Add to
this, four Fathers from Belgium and
four from Italy are expected soon to
swell the working staff Of the diocese.
Also twelve nuns from Switzerland
and twelve from Belgium are to un-
dertake a novitiate for the training of
native nursing Sisters and addition
al schools and orphanages. The pros
pect along certain lines, therefore, is
very bright for Quilon. But the
dreadful rate of money exchanges
keeps all the missions poor. Offer
ings sent from Germany and Austria
are almost worthless and those from
other countries have more or less re-
duction.

HER REWARD.
Continued from page s.,

Mass was celebrated on board that
Sunday morning, for there were sew
eral Catholic priests among the pas
sengers, one of them a very distin-
guished ecclesiastic. After the serv-
ice, Monsignor said few words upon
the Gospel of the day. He spoke
toucningly, directing his remarks
mostly to the great company of home
less emigrants who were about to seek
haven in the strange New World.
Alice often thought of that little SER
mon in after years, for her heart, too,
had been touched by it, and filled with
pity for those who, in the words of
the speaker, might perhaps find the
New World cold and cruel to them
might perhaps in all the length and
breadth of the land find no friend but
One. Here he had pointed eloquent
ly to the Tabernacle And yet One
who will never fail you One who has
no moods. One who never changes,
who is ever the same; One who loves
with an everlasting love! Sursum Cor
da, lift up your hearts, my children;
all else may fall you, but He never
will"

lnlscently to herself as she reclined
dreaming upon her deck chair beneath

he had never been demonstrative, nor
would she have desired any exhibition

had only given her his hand in greet

Rev. Gustave Raoult, p. F. M, says
of a resolution he has been forced to

GREEKS EXTREMELY HOSTILE
TO CATHOLICS.

Are the Greeks worse than the
Turks in their attitude toward the
Church?
Here is the testimony of Most Rev.
Michael Mirow, Bulgarian Catholic
Archbishop.
'.The Greeks. by their recent actions
have demonstrated that they are bit
ter enemies of our Holy Religion.
Their boast is that they prefer the
turban to the tiara. Their schism has
poisoned the whole Orient and the
sBulgarians would be good Catholics
today were they not influenced by
the Greeks whom they fear
