The ceremonies attendant on the

HELPERS or HOLY SOULS
TO OPEN NoviTIATE or SOCIETY
IN NEW YORK.

TO recruit membership to meet
growing demands and to provide for
new foundations in this country, the
Society of Helpers of the Holy Souls
has decided to open a noyitiate in
New York in connection with it's
house at 1l2 East Eighty-eighth street.
For the thirty years which have fol-
lowed the arrival of the first small
group OF women which came to estab-
lish the congregation in the United
States, its numerous religious and
charitable activities have been carried
on principally by Sisters who have
come from Europe. Thus far three
houses have been opened in this coun.
try. These are in St. Louis, San
Francisco, and New York.
The society was founded in Paris
in 1856, by Eugene Smet, known in
religion as Marie de la Providence.
Its motto is: Pray, suffer and labor
for the Souls in Purgatory." In full
filling this motto the life of the Help
ers is divided between prayer and the
practice of spiritual and corporal
works of mercy. All the services they
render to the sick, the poor. the
wretched in soul and body, are abso-
lutely gratuitous. Their, rules forbid
them to accept any compensation for
the labor and charity they bestow.
Aims and voluntary contributions are
their sole source of support.

AN IRISH CoNFEssOR
CATHOLIC, AND READY TO DIE
FOR HIS FAITH WHEN
THREATENED.
Are you a Catholic ?"

Are you Catholic::"
Il am
I'VE will shoot you now for certain.
Are you prepared to die?'
Il am
These were the questions put and
the answers given between the British
auxiliary r. |. C. known as BLACK
and Tans," and John Moran. small
farmer of Ballyheane, Westport, Coun-
ty Mayo.
On receiving his straightforward
profession of faith the constables beat
him with their revolvers, knocked him
down, kicked him., and fired shot
over his head. They threw him over
stone wall, ordered him to strip,
and left him naked for twenty minutes
in the cold air of the month of March.
He was then told to dress and run,
and as he ran they fired after him,
but fortunately missed. Had he been
hit by the bullets it would have been
another case of being '.shot trying to
escape"
These facts were stated in the
sworn evidence of John Moran him
self at the Mayo Quarter sessions last
week. County Court Judge Doyle,
himself a Catholic, described similar
treatment in another case as brutal
and inhuman'' He awarded Mr. Nor
an 800 pounds for the injuries, but il
is on Irish ratepayers the levy will be
made. E8

PLEADS FOR INDIANS
FATHER GORDON, CHIPPEWA IN.
DIAN PRIEST, TELLS OF HOPES
AND AMBITIONS, GRIEVANCES
AND TRIALS OF THE AMERICAN
RED MAN.

A most interesting and verv or
tightening talk on the Indians il TIE
United States was delivered before
the st. Paul Seminary body Ct tn
Catholic Students Mission Crusad"
last Sunday evening by the Reverend
Philip Gordon. Father Gordon. him
self a full-blooded Indian OF the ChiG
pewa tribe, and st. Paul Seminary
alumnus, was introduced to tn" 4
semblage by the president of the 'o'":
Crusade unit. beginning in hI0rn"
Gus vein with the thought that s.sa
Indians have suffered long and ,.-
tiently from oppression and supp, Sc
sion, but thank God, we have not set
been denied Expression" Father Go
don proceeded to make use of his
lone weapon in most interesting man
ner. Understanding his subject tt.J.-
oughly, as only an Indian could TEi"i
stand it, he called attention to the
conditions of life on an Indian rcsCTya
ton, and pointed out tie diflicult:"a
which confront the Ip IAN missionary.
as we'll as the Indh n himself. in @j;;
effort to better his standard OF living
The Indian, it was gathered from
Father Gordons talk, is not an Amer.
lean citizen in the strict sense Of tia
term This is not due to any desire
with which he is regarded by tns
United States government. While per
mitted to volunteer for the army and
fight overseas under the Stars ana
Stripes, he is not permitted to have
vote in the elections Or the nation
nor to plead his case in the district
courts of the country. This startling
state of affairs has come about due e
the government policy of handling the
Indian question. The Indian is gov
erned through branch of the Depart
ment of the Interior, and is subjected
to more OF less bureaucratic form
of management. Each Indian is al
lowed so much money Ga very small
pittance, indeed, and is fed, housed.
clothed, and controlled entirely by
this Commission. He has very Iittie.
if anything, to say on the question al
who his ruler is to be: and for hild
the President of the United States is
the Secretary of the Interior The re-
suit of this sort of legislation has been
to kill all of the Indians initiative:
and the governmental machine which
controls his destiny seems to care but
little for his personal or social i'm.
pIovement.
With such a state of affairs. the
missionary working among the lie,
| dians is sorely handicapped. Such d
thing as a Catholic school on reser-
walton is impossible. due TO the IL.
dian Commissions control of cduca-
ton: religion is confined to Mass aud
what little instruction can lie given at
that time. But in the face OF all this.
| the Catholic faith has made steady
| progress What ii lacks at present i;
priests, and the money with which 10
educate priests.
! Father Gordon concluded with q
plea that the people of America, the
citizenry, be made acquainted with the
political condition of the Indian: and
if9he be only freed from this form q.
misgovernment. the missionary work
will progress much more favorabIy
and with more permanent results.

recent date of which they are no long

urged to take from the rack any piece

UNCOMMON SENSE
BY JOHN BLAKE
BE A GOOO LOSER

BE A GOOO LOSER
IF WE all liked to lose, this
would be a a.shiftless and an
ambitionless life.
1t is natural TO want to win in
any competition, business or
athletic.
Any self-respecting man would
like to feel that he can outstrip
the other fellow in any race be
enters.
He feels chagrined when he
Ioses. Butif he amounts to any
thing he does not show it.
10 whine, to loose your tenn.
per, to invsrt excess, to show
jealously if you lose, is poor
sportsmanship and poor judg.
ment.
You may feel badly because
you have lost, and you ought to,
but remember that you, and 20
one else, are responsible. For
if the competition was one in
which you had no chance Of
winning you shouldn't have en-
tered it. If you did hayO a
chance, it was your fault that
you did not improve it.
Be a good Loser, therefore, and
generous to your opponent, But
don't loose too often.
Don't be so little concerned
about losing that you never try
to win.
Don't feel that it makes no
difference how the races goes.
When it is over have a quiet
little con yersation with yourself,
and give general instructions
not to let the same thing happen
There is such a thing as being
so good loser that you like to
lose. Aud there are no compsti
ton RON off in this world which
you can afford to enter merely
for the pleasure Of letting some
other man win.
You are perfectly justified in
feeling bad when you have lost
You are justified in taking your
self into a corner for q lecture on
the folly of losing. The con-
tinual loser will in the end have
to part with his self-rsspest an d
his courage, and beco.s a mere
cumberer Of the earth,
Try to win as hard as you can
II you lose next time make up
your mind that you will win the
next. Determine that you will
win as nearly 100 per cent as
possible.
Then when you do lose, you
can bear it with a better grace,
for you will know that such a
thing is not going to happen
very frequently.
