"If we have, received good things from

In the annals of Church history, we

God gave the devil special power over

God sometimes permits that the bodies

woman, brought up in the midst of
every comfort and refinement, is ac-
complishing a work that one would
have to see in order to appreciate.
They have here a home for the aged
poor, a charity so difficult for the
Chinese pagans to understand that
they are accustomed to look upon the
Sisters at first as easy marks but
later when they come to- know them
better they are filed with the great
est love and reverence, and are eager
to look into the religious belief that
prompts charity which looks for no
earthly reward.
Besides the home for the aged
there is a home for orphans, and one
need only compare the appearance
of the little ones who are brought up
under the Sisters care with their less
fortunate brothers and sisters who
dwell outside the Convent walls, to
appreciate what is being done for
them. Then there is an embroidery
school where the Sisters and the
older orphans turn out work that is
sought for in several foreign markets.
I'm addition to all this the Sisters
are in the habit of visiting the sick
and the dying in the outlying districts,
and many fortunate little infant is

THE "MAscoT" SUPERSTITION.

A Protestant missionary bishop,
back home from India, has been say
ing some strong things about the
fashionable craze for mascots. cit is
too awful" he says, Ito find Christian
people believing in these things. 1t
simply horrifies me-"
Last week wretched criminal on
his trial for a particularly horrible
murder appeared at the Old Bailey,
London, with a sprig of lucky"
white heather in his buttonhole, and
on one of the days of his trial was al
lowed to place on the rail of the dock
a little toy duck and a champagne
cork.
During the great war a battalion
about to leave London for the western
front, paraded for the distribution to
officers and men Of a lucky mascot.
1t was an ugly little figure of hard
wood about an inch long, the Touch
wood mascot produced and adver-
tised by an enterprising firm that was
trading on the popular superstition.
Not long ago jeweler in fash
ionable street in the West End of
London displayed in his shop window
a number of jade talismans, bearing
the image of one of the old Maori
idols, with letter from a sporting
nobleman certifying that, since he had
bought one of them, his horses had
run better and won several races.
One finds in English homes and
sometimes in the Office Of hardhead
ed business man an eastern idol, in
stalled as lucky mascot. Sometimes
| it is the elephant-headed Ganesa, the
Hindu god of good fortune, sometimes
a sleepy-looking little figure of Bud
dha.
The whole thing (says The London
Catholic Times) is, like various Other
forms of superstition, a survival Of
paganism, and with the widespread
loss of Christian belief and neglec
of Christian practice, it is no wonder
there has been this new outbreak O
the mascot mania in Europe anC
America. The Church has always
contended against it. Every Catholic
child who learns the catechism i!
taught that trusting to charms
omens, dreams and such like fooler
ies' is not only folly but also sir
against the First Commandment.

Sisters in the Ichang convent lived
without fires except for one hour a
day when they gathered for recrea-

joyed a little heat. And even that

Sisters used their recreation hour for
extra microscopy prayers in the chap
ell, that an end might come to the cruel
war, and for the repose of the souls
of the soldiers already slain.

THE MISSING POCKET KNIFE.

October, the beautiful month of the
Angels, was at hand. Already the
birds were chirping on brown carpets
of fallen leaves. In corner among
tall pines two boys were standing.
Their attitude and tone of voice indi-
Gated some heated argument.
do you intend to return my prop
erty?" The smaller of the two leaned
his arm upon the Jagged edge of a
rock, and there was determined look
in his comedy face as he uttered the
words.
The tall boy shrugged his shoulders:
Il tell you know nothing whatsoever
about your old knife
lump! It seems mighty strange
Rob saw you take it from my desk
during school time yesterday"
"Then he lied if he said he saw me
take your knife"
HE did not lie" returned the other
holly, 'and if he were here and heard
what you said, he'd give you the worst
thrashing you ever received. You
know it, too, and what is more, I'd
rather believe lie Of Rob's than any
truth uttered by YOU
Again the tall boy shrugged his
shoulders, naughty sheer overspread
his countenance. well, George, when
you have more positive truth than the
word of a cad, then 1 will listen to
you; not before. My time is altogether

ed away.
George Foley dug his hands into his
pockets and stood gazing at the re.
treating form until it was no longer
visible.
"Phew, that is the worst case of
| cheek ever struck UP against, - he
said, half aloud. Rob was not the
only one who saw him take the knife
yesterday, and to think that he'd stoop
to such an act when his father is rich
enough to buy factory full. I've
| heard Father McKenna speak of many
acts committed through sheer want OF
| thought, but this-ugh! ] half believe
lit was done in a fit of malice"
Having given vent to his thoughts.
the boy started along the path in an
opposite direction from that taken by
the other; the sound of his footsteps
on the dry leaves grew fainter and
more distant, until they were finally
| lost among the surrounding trees and
shrubs.
The pocket knife referred to was a
/ beautiful pearl handled affair, which
George had won at competition in
Christian Doctrine. Owen HOllister
whose father was one of the wealthy
personages of the village, had boosted
of being the sure winner of the prize.
When he found himself showed aside

against the more fortunate youth took
possession Of him.
Several days passed. One beautiful
morning George was returning from
the village store, and was passing
