and a record is kept of all ships met
in case one is lost then it is easier
to trace it. Soon another ship came
along (they will be more frequent
from now on) and it was 1880 or i
before we got in to go to bed.
When we went to breakfast this
morning the Captain was waiting for
us in the lobby and he ate at our table
again. We have lots of fun and get
good deal of information that We
would not otherwise get. He ran
away when he was eleven and has
been on the sea ever since. He does
not like it at all but says he is not fit
for anything else and said he made
up his mind to perfect himself in the
only thing he can do. Started out
and for years got $3.50 per month
and good many boots. He says he
has in his mind picture of the world
and all the water courses, but l sup
pose all captains must have that. He
left the table last night to take us
thru what he calls 1.-The Graveyard.
1t is a place where the reefs extend
out 10 miles and ships must be so
careful in picking their course. He
said we would be awakened
about $3.50 in the morning to get our
breakfast before going into the Rio
harbor at 900. Do not know if
he was joking or not but know we
are going in early in the morning.
Last night all of us who took the

SISTERS IN NEED
INDIAN BUREAU GIVES AID TO
uRsULiNE NUNS NOW HOME
LESS BY FiRE-APPEALF FOR
HELP.

Rev. William Hughes, Director of
the Bureau of Catholic Indian Mis-
sions, announced that the bureau has
advanced some financial aid to meet
the immediate needs of the Ursuline
Sisters, whose convent and school on
the Flathead reservation were de-
stroyed, but that the Sisters will be
unable to continue their work there
unless the Catholics of the country
furnish them the means to rebuild.
"The Ursuline convent and school,
said Father Hughes, "are the second
group of Catholic institutions on the
Flathead reservation to be destroyed
by fire within little more than two
years. December 9, 1919, the House
of Providence was lost in a similar
way, by fire. 1t was never rebuilt
Because of the apathy of the American
Catholics, the Sisters were unable to
replace the school and convent But
the good. Sisters of Charity would not
desert the Indians. They erected a
small hospital for Indians on the res.
ervation. The Ursuline Sisters who
had been conducting the kindergarten
previous to the first fire, now took
over the entire school. That kinder
garten was the first kindergarten
among the Indians in the United
States. An appeal is being made by
the Bureau of Catholic Indian Missions
to the Catholic people of the United
States to save the work for which Sis
ter St John gave her life

GOING TO IRELAND?
A. O.. n. PLANS BIG PILGRIMAGE
TO IRELAND.

Plans for pilgrimage to Ireland to
be conducted this summer were re-
vealed at, the semi-annual meeting of
the Board of Directors of the Ancient
Order of Hibernians in the United
States, which met in New York last
week. The recommendation was
made by President James E Deery,
who presided at the meeting aud il
is proposed to charter liner capable
of accommodating $500 Catholics oil
Irish extraction who are anxious to
visit the land from which they have
been practically debarred by the strug-
gle for independence carried on dur
ing the past three years.
A nationwide membership cam
paign, to end December 81, was an
nounced by resolution which pointed
out that no influx of members can be
expected from immigration and that
a larger numerical strength should be
drawn from the Irish born in America.
The establishment Of juvenile di-
visions Of the Order throughout the
country was also recommended.

accompanies being Mrs. Bell, violin

Miss Lima r. Bressette was the
next speaker. She gave a brief sum
mary of the purposes and needs of
the organization such as that which
brought the delegates together: out

ments of the National Council, laying
stress especially on the work Of Cath
olics today in caring for the immi-
grants who are seeking our shores,
the interest of Catholics in the i'm,
proving of the moral tone of the mod
ern motion picture, the necessity of,
an active campaign to combat the
growing evils of divorce and eugenics
which are attracting such wide COM
ment even in the purely secular pa
pors Of the country.
Miss Bressette then read the con
Stitution as outlined for tho ort;ro no
tional body, recommending that it be
accepted in its entirety, since partial
acceptance would initiate against the
purposes Of its formation.
Mrs. Lange then assumed the chair
and proceeded to the election OF Off

ing were elected: president, Mrs. F.

tary, Mrs. l.. F. Carey, .Missoula; J.

Statistics showing an apparent loss

The statistics were complied by the

Are Cornelius, Gertrude, cordelia

They are.

Since omitted the penance, through
Iforsetfulness, which was given. me, by
my confessor In my second last Con-
fession, was fpy last Confession bad or
was It good? u performed works
harder than those imposed by the
priest. !.
Your Confession was good. Omis.
sion because of forgetfulness does not
make the Confession bad There is
required will to perform the penance
when given; and If it Isl not willfully
omitted, there is no sin. The other
works performed do not fulill the pen
ance,. but they show good will. The
penance must be performed if it is
afterwards remembered.
Would you kindly let me know If
the Popes were always elected in q
Conclave of Cardinals, such as is held
these days? If not, what was the
method?
No; they were not. In the early
ages of the Church, the election was
rather public, and the choice remain
ed with the Roman clergy. In 1869,
Pope Nicholas II decreed that the Car
dinal-Bishops would meet shortly after
the death of the Pope and select
names most worthy When this would
be completed, they would summon the
other Cardinals, and together with
them, proceed to an election. The
rest of the clergy, people and Emper-
or, would be asked for their assent
In 1179, Lateran Council, under Pope
Alexander III, decided that the Pope
is to be elected by two-thirds majority
of the Cardinals present.
This last method had its disadvan-
tages. At times, the necessary ma
jority was obtained with the utmost
difficulty and for months there would
be a hopeless deadlock. Finally, in
order to hasten the election, Pope
Gregory X t127D, whose elevation
came only after a long period OF two
years and nine months deliberation
and voting, decreed. that future cleo
tions would be held in conclave, such
as exists today. That this system with
its absolute secrecy and severe re-,
strictions is most successful ana adj
vantageous the history of the last six
centuries win clearly testify.

WAS INDIANS FRIEND
INDIAN COMMISSION PAYS NOBLE
TRIBUTE TO MGR. kETcHAM's
I WoRk--EvER AND ALWAYS A
"a FRIEND. OF THE INDIAN.

A remarkable tribute to the late
Mgr. Ketcham is contained in the
memorial recently adopted by the
United States Board of Indian Com
missioners. This board is the ''Indiap
cabinet" to the President Of the
United States
It is confidently expected that a
Catholic iayman of national reputa-
ton and of ripe experience in Indian
affairs will succeed Monsignor Ketch
am on the Board of Indian Commits
sioners
The eloquent tribute of the mem
bers of the board is in part as fol-
lows:
In the death OF Commissioners
ketcham the Board of Indian Com
missioners, the Indians of this coun-
try and the great Church of which he
was a distinguished prelate have suf-.
fered loss which, because of Father
Ketcham's unusual attributes, is ire
parable.
AS a member of this Board he was
conscientious, diligent and influential.

obstacle to turn aside his search for
the facts upon which to base his CON
illusions and recommendations for re-
medal action to help the Indians. 1t
is doubtful If any other man held the
esteem and confidence of more In
dian field service officials and en-
ployees than Father Ketcham. In
Washington he was welcomed in an
branches of the Government because
OF his attractive personality and ripe
experience. He was always eager to
cooperate with any person or organi-
zation Tor the good of the Indians,
yet he was Independent in his opirl-
ions and aggressive in maintaining
them.
''The Indians of the country lost one
of their best friends when Father
ketcham died. He ever insisted that
the Christian religion was the only
sound foundation upon which to build
character and real progress. He was
especially interested in schools, the
maintenance Of law and order and in
the health of his Indian friends, whom
he numbered by. the thousands. He
was well known and loved by the
indians of many TRIBES but more par
ticularly by those of Oklahoma"
