opening Up.
The shooting season in England
is going on at wartime clip. Many
farmers with their little holdings
have become owners of sporting
rights, and the number of shoot
ings are greatly on the increase
due to the breaking up of the large
estates.
There has been a big demand for
the smaller shoots. Young men
who learned to shoot during the
war are keen to extend and develop
their prowess and the plentiful
game of the English season will
fall to them
Formerly the grounds for hunt
ing on the big estates were prohib-
tied to the average sportsman. But
now he's coming into his own.
More power to him.

HISTORY OF ST. CHARLES PAR
ISH, ST. CHARLES, MINI.

In 1867, Father Lette organized the
parish Of st. Charles here, naming the
church after the same Saint to whom
the village was dedicated. The fol-
lowing year a stone building was
erected on st. Charles street, where
the lumber yard is at present located.
In the fall of 1874, the new church
was dedicated by Bishop Cotter of
Winona. Even before house of wor-
ship had been reared, services had
been held in ST. Charles as early as
1861, at the home of Patrick Dona-
hue. This gentleman, together with Fa-
Their Lette and Joseph Wegman, was
chiefly instrumental in organizing the
new parish.
The stone church was ruined in the
cyclone of 1908. Not discouraged by
this disaster, the faithful members of
the parish raised money with which
to build a handsome brick church on
Whitewater street. This building was
dedicated on October Is, 1904, by Bish,
Op Cotter, assisted by Rev. John Hor
an and other priests. Five years lat
err, in 1909, commodious rectory was
furnished for the pastor, Father Hor
an, who has been in charge of this
parish since 1890, having come to st
Charles from Winona at that time
The new church and rectory stand as
proofs of his zeal, as we'll as of the CO
operation of his devoted people.

sion in question is in the Diocese of
Ajmere and is named Bhavvamkhua.
q think some few new words about
our station will not be out of place.
Bhavvamkhua will enter it's thirteenth
year very soon. The birth was rather
humble, as the mission was started in
a shop, where few boys began to
study under a pagan master paid by
the diocese. Seeing the good results
achieved by the said school, the
villagers later on gave us, near the
village, a plot of ground to build a
school upon. Complying with their
wishes we began modest school to
which, in a short time, were added
two rooms-our present chapel and
sacristy-and later on other rooms
for our own use, and dispensary And
even with all these additions, the mis-.
sion house is proving to be too small

years old, it is proof we are living

THE CATHOLIC FAITH IN NOR
WAY.

The following is an extract from a
letter from Bishop Falize, Vicar
Apostolic of Norway and Spitzburg.
catholic life is taking an even
stronger hold on the souls of our dear
faithful, nearly all of whom are con-
verts from Lutheranism. My devoted
assistants have had occasion to regis
ter new conversations of heretics, we
have witnessed an increase of good
will, in the authorities as well as in
the people in general towards us, our
the old fanaticism is disappearing.
There are towns awaiting only the
erection Of church, the appearance
of missionary and some Sisters to
approach the Ark of salvation, but the
great poverty which befeH us as a
result of the war has made the small
est new foundation impossible and
even threatens the existence of what
has been done at the cost of enormous
sacrifices in the past.
ION this occasion I am in posi-
ton to speak of two foundations at
once. For thirty-three years I have
gone from door to door asking for
religious priests to help our secular
priests to preach the Gospel to our
separated brethren, SO hungry for the
truth, to confirm our faithful in the
faith by regular missions, and to
49, 1;c t<r.
| by retreats. On several occasions
devoted religious men from the contin-
| ent have come to our assistance;-in
Norway the apostolic zeal of Father
| La Motto is known from Cape
Lindesnaes to North Cape-but we
had not our own religious and the lack
| was weight on my heart.
BLESSED be God! we have now had
them for several months. Domini-
| can priests, of which | am very glad,
doubly glad because our dear Father
La Motto was delegated to install
them in our capital, very difficult
undertaking, considering the incred-
ible amount which the very building
and even the maintenance of the
smallest household costs now, and con-
sidering the almost insurmountable
difficulty of purchasing even the small
est house. But he has laid the founda-
ton of the new Dominican family and
now, his errand of trust fulfilled, he is
about to leave us again, taking with
him our deep gratitude for all that he
has done for our dear mission. May
the Lord give the increase to what he
has sown''

TRIBUTE TO A CATHOLIC SCHOOL

Now and then, as if to brighten the
gloom that seems to hang over evan.

news showing that the Faith is still
much alive in that materialistic coun.
try.
1t is Father Lemarie, P. F. NJ, of the
Nagasaki Diocese, who reports that
the Minister of Public Instruction has
raised to the superior degree the
school conducted by the Sisters of st.
Paul de Charities at Yatsushire. Hence
forth a diploma from that school will
equal certificate given by the Gov
ernor and will entitle the holder to be-
come a teacher in the national schools
without further examinations.
This is of great value to the school,

tage of it should enlarge their build
