The chief virtue of sandy soil,

1t dries out too quickly. Clay
soil holds water. well, but 1t
tends to pack and harden. Both
types of soil need stable manure

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
A NATIVE FILIPINO slsTERHooD.

Dear Editor:
Allow me to beg your forbearance
for addressing you. I am missionary
priest working in the diocese of JarC
in the Philippines. You will find my
references in the Official Catholic Di
rectory on page 6S7, under Maasin
Rev. Walter Cain.
l address you on behalf of society
existing in the Mission of Maasin
called ''The Society of the Blessed
Sacrament
This society is incorporated under
the laws of the Philippine Islands. II
consists of band of Filipino ladies'
who have organized themselves in an
effort to save the faith of their fellow
countrymen who are subjected to ev
cry influence calculated to destroy
their faith, and the most insidious in.
fiuence of all-the deprivation of in.
struction, of Catholic education.
T Now, the first thing you'll be tempt.
ed to do right at this point will be to
pitch this paper into the waste has.
ket, but just forbear a while. Lives
are being sacrificed in this attempt,
victims of want, lives willingly and
lovingly, sacrificed for Our Dear Mas
ter, but also Wantonly sacrificed from
the standpoint of the good, generous
Catholics of the United States. Four
have already laid down their young
lives from overwerk and lack of food
and clothing. If I have held your at
tention so far, I'll explain further.
A little over twenty years ago, the
Filipin6s were rudely and cruelty
plucked from under the mantle of
Catholic Spain, under whose mother
ly care they had been reared in the
faith, and shielded from the faint of
heresy. They were taken over by
the United States of America, but the
motherly care of American Catholics
was not substituted for that of Span
ish Catholics.
From that time to this, the Filipino
