The year 1889 represents a bril- liant page in the history of mis- sions of the Roman Catholic Church since 1t marks the Golden Jubilee of the foundation of The Society of st. Peter the Apostle for Native Clergy. This remarkable organi2a- ton, which owes Its existence to the charity of two courageous French women, Mrs. Stephanie Bigard and her daughter, Jeanne, was inaugu- rated as result of an appeal re- ceived in 1889 from Bishop Cousin, head of the diocese of Nagasaki, Japan. The French Bishop, having had so many requests from young Japanese to be trained for the Catholic priesthood, sent an urgent letter to his countrywomen, Mrs. Bigard, asking her cooperation to solicit funds for the education and maintenance of these youths.
 The good widows heart was touched by the plea. She realized that these young men, many of whom were the sons of pagans who disowned them because of their adoption of Christianity. had not the means to carry out their desire. She enlisted the sympathy of her daughter, who, already deeply in- terested in the missions, had given 50,000 francs (the total of her dowry) for the erection of a church in Nagasaki. Mother and daughter gave of their time and their means: they begged from door to door to obtain the necessary funds. From these early efforts came into being The Society of St. Peter the Apostle, which today IS educating and sup- ponting nearly 15,000 young men who are studying for the priesthood in mission countries,
 As a token of appreciation for the splendid charity of Mrs. and Miss Bigard Pope Plus XI has planned the erection of a seminary which is to be known as the Bigard Memorial

} SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
Peters Three-Fold Acknowledgement
Text: John 2l:ll.i9

had called him, and naturally he turned back to his old life.
 It is quite possible, of course, that this conception of Peters at- titude may be all wrong and that, with sincere repentance, but without any undue loss of his faith, he was simply turning to his old occupation. Peter may have been in the mood of those who say, Tt is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all"
 Whatever Peter may have thought or felt, all the enthusiasm with which he had first turned to the Master was revived as he realized that Jesus was living and not dead. But this was not all. As the Master had singled him out for some of warning against Peters being "sifted as wheat and His own prayer that Peters faith should not fail, so now the Master. re- alizing all that was in Peters heart, turned to him with the question, simon, son Of John, lowest thou me?"
 Peter's words were simple and sincere: "Yea. Lord, Thou knowest that I love thee" His old boast- Ing was gone, but there was a re- strained and quiet faith. It was no longer Peter matter of ambition and power and preferment.
 Again a second time came the question to Peter with the same reply, and yet a third time; for Peter had denied his Lord three times. Following this threefold acknowledgment and the admoni- ton to feed the lambs and the sheep, there came prophetic words telling how Peter would also suffer for his Lord.
 How different from the day when Peter had left his nets with a vision of delivered Israel and of new kingdom in which he would occupy a place of power and influence! The dreams of ambi- tion and power were gone, but now as then, the word of Jesus was Fol low Mc"-and Peter followed with the assurance that the way he was following was the way of the Gross and the way of ministry in suffer- ing and in sacrifice.

Seminary. News of this plan was brought to America by His Excel iency. Most Rev. Charles Heery, head of the vicariate of Onitsha, To- cated in Nigeria, on the West Coast of Africa.
 "Because of the increasing num- Der of vacations to the priesthood among our Catholic converts in Africa, the Bishop said, "the Holy Father is anxious to provide an ade- quate seminary for this district and at the same time honor the memory of the two splendid women respon. sible for the existence of the magni- ficeYit organization which supports and educates the future priests of mission lands. The proposed semirl- ary will be erected in my Vicariate, in the city of Enugu, the seat of the provisional government, and all ready grant of 40 acres, on which the building will stand, has been ob- tained from the authorities"

 c: Have Jews ever protested against the persecution of Chris tians?
 A: Yes. There have been many instances where Jewish national groups have condemned the per- secution of Christians. The Union of American Hebrew Congrega- tions and the Central Conference of American Rabbis are two of a number of representative Jewish bodies which have protested Christian persecution. The Chief Rabbis of France. in 1886. isued the following statement to be read in all Jewish synagogues.
 "As we look upon the fate of Catholic priests and religious, who without swerving from their min istry of piety and charity, inno- cent victims of civil disorders. have fallen. yesterday in Mexico, today in unhappy Spain, where the most horrible and devastat- ing of wars has arrayed brother against brother: as we behold all the victims of intolerance and fanaticisin, Jews Christians, brothers in humanity wherever fallen. we bow our heads in sor row and say we are most pro foundly distressed. For lara must everywhere be with the pcs, secuted against the prosecutor"

 HYPE'S COST
 His 65th birthday seemed to Hype a good time for recapitulation. He had cost the government $l3,7St from the day of his birth until he left WpA at the age of 26 to join his uncle on the farm.
 In the Ss years since he left the farm he .ha dearned approximately $700 Q year on WPA for his first year, Then $500 Q year for Ave years on PWA and five years more at $500, That meant that at S7 years of age he had cost the gov. ernment $S0,2S6 in maintenance and salary. To be sure he had worked for the money In his years on WPA and PWA, At 37 he was cut to $l, 200 year and stayed there for 10 years another $l0,000 or Q total of $40,2S( on his 47th birthday,
 Then his income began to slip SC that he earned only $500 to $700 c year for the i8 years left to his work. ing life, That meant approXimately $ll, 700 additional or a total of $5i,. 9S6 for the 6S years he had spen, on the payroll,
 It sounded like Q lot of none, but he had worked for 1t and it seemed hardly enough to meet his needs. His mother died a few months after Hype retired, but h, lived for q full 10 years.

 The words of Peter, T go a.ilsh- ing," after his denial of Jesus and his bitter repentance have usually been interpreted as marking Peters deep discouragement and sense of failure, both in himself and in the cause and Leader in whom he had trusted.
 It would have been only natural that Peter should have had an in- tense reaction Of disgust with him- self, With no evidence as yet of the resurrection, probably without any understanding of Jesus words suggesting the hope of the resur- rection, Peter might easily have Tee garded his hopes as disappointed and that phase Of his life at m end,
