10 THE POOR INDIAN!

For all we know, there are almost
as many Indians in the United States
today as there were when George
Washington was living. The Ameri-
can Indian is stationary, but he is
not disappearing. The official figures
for 1920 place our Indian popula-
ton at $4,000. Fifty years ago
(1S72) there were $4,000 American
Indians in the United States. In 1887
there were 302, 900.
We may surmise that among the
white population of the United States,
there are many thousands of half
breeds of Indian ancestry.
There are Indians in twenty-three
states: $500 in New York (the last
of the Mohicans), $500 in Florida
(some of whom can repeat the Sem.
inole's Defiance), 10000 in Wisconsin,
$4,000 in the Dakotas and 1901 00
in Oklahoma (some of them million
aires). The American Indian still
holds the title to seventy-two million
acres of land, a farm Of over 200 acres
for each Indian. And statistics say
that Lo the poor Indian is worth ST.,
600 per capita.

the absence of English-speaking Cath.
Ollie missionaries and educators in
China.
No one knows better than we do
how interested the Catholic schools
and colleges of the United States are
in the Missions, and how anxious they
are to help us, but l cannot imagine
a Catholic college proposing to itself
a scheme for helping the Missions
more practical or likelier to produce
more far-reaching and lasting results,
than that contained in your letter.
In comparison with the effort which
is being made by non-Catholic mis-
s~ionaries, Catholic higher education
in China is practically non-existent;
but with the arrival of English-speak-
ing missionaries and educators, it is
to be hoped that this defect will be
remedied; it is then that the cooper
alton of Catholic educational centers
at home like yours will be realized.
At all events, Seton Hill has given a
lead and set an example in a work
which if taken up by other Catholic
institutions is bound to have a far.
reaching effect on the future of Cath
Ollie education and religion in China.
Assuring you of our deep apprecia-
ton of the very practical interest
which your community and college are
taking in the Missions, l remain yours
sincerely in Christ,

After the girls had passed, came a

men, women and children. Mother

st. Willibrord for a cure. The dane
ing procession has long been known
to be a special occasion for cures of
epileptics and sickly children.
AS a result of this belief, yes, this
conviction, we see passing before us
a German general, dressed in full mil

crippled child and dancing with all
the feryor which he can muster for
the occasion. A mother passes by

A relief was soon at hand, for aft a
distance there followed a gallant
group of young men, dancing with all
the fervor Of their youth to the music
of a well-drilled band. They held one

steps backwards with perfect rhythm
and ease. Each tenth row was headed

1t is, therefore. to be held as of faith,
that the world is not eternal, but pro-
duced or created in time. And this
truth is proved also by the constant
traditions of both Jews and Chris
tians. ~
The material world was at first
without form, without inhabitants, and
without light. In the first place, God
created the material elements out of
which the world is formed, then He
gave to this material world it's pres
ent form in the course of six days.
These six days mentioned in Gene
sis are probably long periods of time
consisting of many thousands of
| years; for the seventh day, the day of
rest, lasts until the end of time.
| Again we notice in this account of
creation that on the first, second and
third days the sun was not yet in the
heavens and that from the light of
the sun arise day and night; also be-
cause the Hebrew expression which
is translated by u word "day" sig
nifies also any division of time. The
sacred writer chooses the word be-
cause the week of creation was to be
a sort of pattern of our present week.
On the first day, God said, Let
there be light and there was light.
The expression Let there be" would
signify that something came into Ak
istence which did not before exist.
Light" was the luminous matter
which is now gathered into the sun.
1t is not dependent on the sun but
the sun on it. The gaseous matter
was at first uniformed, that is, it had
no form. God impaired to it the law
of gravitation, by means of which all
the particles of light We're drawn into
one solid mass, and by this method
or process warmth, and at last, fire
was developed.
The Second Day.
On the second day, God made the
armament. God said, Let there be a
armament made amidst the waters,
and let it divide the waters from the
waters. And God called the firma-
ment heaven" (Gen. l, 6-S.) Hence,
on this second day, there was a sep
aration, arrangement and establish.
ment of the created masses, which
were divided into parts according to
their constitution and magnitude,
parted from one another and ar
ranged in the places God destined for
them. The arrangement of the va
rious planets in their places is called
the armament" or heaven" In this
armament the sun, moon and stars
have their allotted places and pursue
their courses in accordance to the will
of their Maker. The armament just
considered is the material heaven, as
/ opposed to the spiritual heaven or
abode of the celestial spirits. The
earth on which We live was n of
the considered masses of planets
which took it's place in space and fol-
lows out the course marked by God.
At the same time, the other planets
took their places in space.

tails and reach the large crucifix placed
in the church yard. Here each dancer
bows to the cross, says a final prayer
and stops dancing.
The exact origin of the dancing
procession at E~chternach is somewhat
uncertain. We know, however, that
the cult Of the saint and the custom
of making pilgrimages to his tomb in
the abbey church at Echternach may
be traced back to the century i'm
which he died (8thl., But who was st.
Willibrord?
Saint Ordained in ireland.
st. Willibrord was born in 657 in
northumberland, England. When 20
years old, he went to Ireland and
there at the age of 80 was ordained
to the holy priesthood. At 33, he
with IL other Irish missionaries came
to Holland, erected his missionary
headquarters at Utrecht and from
there began the conversion of the ma
tive pagan tribes. In 695, he was made
Archbishop of Friesiand. Three years
later, he came to Trier and through

the generosity of st. Irmine, abbess
of Oeren and daughter of Dagobert
III, was given one-half of the Frankish
villa Echternach. Willibrord there

sibilities become probabilities OF even
certainties. In this it differs wholly
from hysteria. In the latter not rea-
son but emotion is exaggerated.
Women do not worry-this may seem
a trife bold, he says; they fret. The
eyes of a man are nearly always on
the future; those of a woman. on the
present or past.
1t is important, says the writer,
that every man who is apt to suffer
from worry should recognize this dis
tinction. Recognition will ave him

of seeing himself as a weakling, an

HEROES IN EVERYDAY LIFE.

1t is easy enough to find the bit

in daily life. 1t is too easy.
Every day is full Of instances of
courage and beauty, if We would keep
our eyes open for them.
Here is one that happened the other
day in New York City.
A long freight train was moving
slowly northward on the track which
uns by the river side. 1t was 9
o'clock at night.
E. j. Lynch, one of the brakemen
on the train, noticed a commotion on
the pier. Someone told him that an
old lady had fallen into the water.
The brakeman jumped off the train,
ran to the edge of the pier, and saw
an old lady struggling in the water.
The crowd was standing impotent on
the shore, yelling. The brakeman
jumped into the water and grabbed
the woman. In spite of her struggles,
he soon brought her to shore.
Here he hauled her over to willing
hands, who resuscitated her.
A policeman intercepted him, and
askedSf the details.
Haven't got time," said the brake.
man. THAT old lady is all right, and
| got to catch my train. So long"
He ran back to his train, which
had not stopped. Trotting to the
tracks, he hooked a grip iron, swung
himself up and climbed to the top of
the car, where he stood dripping, and
waved good-by to the policeman.
1t was all in the days work.
The engineer and brakeman had
heard the shouting on the dock only
fifty feet away.
Hey. Bill" the brakeman called to
the engineer, climbing down from the
car. Got to get her out. Be back
in a minute. Slow up a Bit The
engineer slowed up, the brakeman
pulled the woman out of the water
and got back onto the car.
20. K, Bill got her." he shouted.
Bill threw his lever, pulled his whis-
tie cord for a foot, and the train pass
ed on.

Also, he says, worry is that thing
which doctors call neurasthenia.
Youth is the age of enthusiasm,
middle age of worry, he says. Young
men see few of the difficulties of their
work, and SO either succeed or fail
conspicuously. Older men see many
difficulties. Sometimes they see diff
fculties which have no existence ex-
cept in their own minds. And this
is the condition known to mankind in
general as worry, and to doctors as
neurasthenia. All the catastrophies
which he fears may indeed occur. The
chance exists undeniably. Yet it is
so remote that it is not worth consid.
ering.
