THE NEGRO CHILDREN OF THE SOUTH. "Hail, Holy Queen." Millions of voices recite this beautiful prayer throughout the Catholic world. Dur ing the month of May it is the prayer of prayers, for May is Mary's month dedicated by the church to her honor. It is a month the children love. They gather flowers to lay at her feet they present their childish petitions rely ing on her love for them to get them what they ask." She is the Mother of God," the children tell you with awe-struck eyes. In the South the little negro chil dren are learning the lesson too, of love and devotion to Mary, "the Mother of the Most High," but, alas! how many unbaptized negro children there are who have never heard the word of God, and who are steeped in the darkness of ignorance, who will never hear of this beautiful devotion except that we in the North come to their assistance, by providing schools and churches for them to hear God's word as it is taught in the Gospel. There are millions of these little negro children in the South longing for the light. Will you not try and help educate them spiritually and otherwise by providing parochial schools? It will be the greatest work of mercy you ever did one which will reward you spiritually a thousand fold. Write or call on the Rev. John E. Burke, Director General of Negro Missions, Metropolitan Building, No. 1 Madison avenue, New York City. Don't waste a moment, but write at once and help to swell the throng of little voices who will cry out "Hail, Holy Queen," in this sweet month of May.: FRANCISCANS IN INDIA. Brother Anthony, O. F. M., of Bel lary, India, writes the following: "To all interested in the welfare of the missions in India it is an un doubted joy to see the number of mis sioners increase from day to day. You will be glad, I am sure, to know that our little community here in Bellary has had a small increase—an appreci able one, nevertheless—in its strength, as we had the happiness of seeing one of our postulants receive the holy habit of our seraphic father, St. Fran cis, a few days ago. On the same day one of the brothers made his profession of perpetual religious vows, and another renewed his annual vows. May our dear Lord send us more sub jects, for there is a sore need of a much larger number of laborers in this part of His vineyard. The num ber of brotherhoods and of brothers is but very small in India, and what an amount of good work can be done for our dear Divine Master's glory and for the salvation of souls if these numbers can be multiplied—say ten fold at the least! Even a hundred fold increase will be all too small for the tremendous work in this land." CORPUS CHRISTI PROCESSION IN PAPUA. The Island of Papua, or New Guinea, is, with the exception of Australia, the largest island on the globe, being 1,300 miles in length. The region was very little known until the advent of the missionaries who penetrated into the interior and helped to open an almost inaccessible tract of country. Papua is divided in two great sections: Dutch New Guinea, having a population of 650,190 of whom 2,500 are Catholics, and British New Guinea, with a population of 600,000 of whom 4,597 are converts to the Faith. In this distant island the Catholics, though few in numbers, are fervent in spirit as is indicated in their cele bration of Corpus Christi. Reverend L. F. McCarthy, M. S. H., describes, in Catholic Missions, one such celebra tion as follows: At an early hour, on the 6th day of J«ne, the feast of Corpus Christi, the whole of the Mekeo district was astir. In the Papuan Mission a general pro fcession of the Blessed Sacrament is each year solemnized in one of the Tillages of this extensive district. To make their village a fitting re ceptacle for the King of Kings, to do public honor to Our Common Lord and Master, to outrival in pomp and in splendor and in grandeur the feast of the preceding year, is the aim of our Catholic Papuans. Beipaa, situated in the lowlands and about twenty miles from the coast, might be called the capital of Mekeo. Here it was that the demonstration of faith, about which I write, took place. That the procession this year was to be held at Beipaa was soon heralded throughont the villages. All joyfully prepared. Preparations, as the ap pointed hour drew near, were given their final touch, and the early dawn of June 6th disclosed hundreds of natives, wending their way to bow down in humble adoration before their Creator. All the arrangements, in connec tion with the procession, were in the hands of that veteran and pioneer, R. F. Vitale, M. S. H., a priest whose twenty-five years of heroic work in these tropics have merited for him a unique distinction. Among the villages represented, the honor of heading the procession was given t* Beipaa. The natives of this village preceded by a standard bearer carrying a banner of St Paul, their Patron, marched in double file. Fol lowing Beipaa came the representa tives of a dozen other villages each preceded by a banner indicating the Saint under whose patronage it is placed. Next in order came the Brothers and Sisters in the habit of their order, then the native chiefs bearing torches next the Thurifer, Cross-bearer and Acolytes, then the native choir. Immediately after the choir came the priests. The canopy, carried by six natives, followed. Un der the caaopy and carried by His 4Mtt MISSION FIELDSA i-VoMr .Lordship, Fr. de Boismenu, M. S. H., was the Lord of Hosts. The R. F. Desnoes, M. S. H., assisted as Deacon and the R. E. A. Bailey, M. S. H., as Subdeacon. Nature has been beneficent to Beipaa. Tropical growth has festooned the scene of our narrative with all that is luxuriant and beautiful. The sun has not been forbidden to kiss the village sward, nor has the soft light of moon or stars been called to halt at the tops of the giant cocoanuts. Rather, here we find the forces of nature in harmony, each force de pending, as it were, upon the other and rivaling only to augment each other's beauty. The north, the south, the east and the west side of the vil lage had its altar. In decoration to the eye of a white man, nature seemed to have provided abundantly, but to the native something more than his daily environments must grace the. altars of the Most High. Here at the altar they show their faith in the Blessed Sacrament. All that is prized, all that is more to them than silver or gold or precious stones, they lay at the feet of their King. The brilliant plumage, won from the much valued birds of paradise, feathers of the rarest and most beautiful birds of New Guinea are interwoven, colors are blended and arranged to produce effects modest and magnificent. As soon as the procession moved off, the Pange Lingua was intoned and immediately it was taken up by hun dreds of voices. At the approach in front of each altar the boys on one side, the girls on the other, formed a guard of honor. Their humble adora tion as the Blessed Sacrament was borne along, was an outward expres sion of devout hearts and a testimony to their belief in the real presence. Benediction was given at each altar, the usual benediction hymns being sung. The Papuans have sweet voices and keep perfect time, add to this their keen ear for music and you have a vague idea of a Papuan choir. The ceremonies lasted nearly three hours, so my readers might from this and what I have written, form some idea of their magnificence, some idea of the fervent Catholic spirit reigning in hearts, forty years ago beating in the breasts of cannibals, and some idea, too, of the future Catholicity of this portion of the Church. THE NECESSITY OF GIVING. By nothing is the status of a person more clearly shown than by what he regards necessary. It goes without saying that the rich man's necessities are the poor man's luxuries. But what is far more interesting to most of us is the comparison of standards among people of like income. We constantly hear people say that they cannot afford this or that, when we happen to know that they have quite as much to do with as we ourselves, and spend money in many ways which we would deem extravagant. There are women who dress as we would never dream of doing, who never have money for books or magazines. Some spend on vacation trips what others put into rent. Some build houses, while others run automobiles. In some families, the education of the children is the first necessity, while in others it is expensive social life. In short, if we know how people spend their incomes we know the secret spring of their lives. It is foolish for any one to set up an absolute standard for the propor tioning of expenses. All this is a mat ter of individual preference, and every man is a rule unto himself to a very considerable extent. Nevertheless it is only human to observe and comment on other's peculiarities. The most un forgivable of all spending schemes is that which shuts out all generosity to others. The people who spend all on themselves, with the constant excuse that they cannot afford to give, cannot but he despised. Giving should be re garded as a necessity of life. To have no church claims, no habits of charity, no customs of gift making, no sharing of pleasures with others, and no ways of hospitality—this were poverty in deed. Those who think they cannot af ford these things are the poorest of paupers. As a matter of fact, they can not afford to live without them. No one can know the fulness of life who does not recognize the necessity of giving. (Continued from Page 3.) ADVENTURE. his life would end—and, would begin. Adventure? To set forth upon a jour ney from which no man had ever re turned to go out alone where time and space were not, nor air nor sound nor aught of all that seemed so need ful here to venture naked-souled be yond the stars and into the presence of God what exploits of what heroes could stand beside it? And infallibly, inevitably, happily or not, it was to be his own adventure! Long and avidly he considered this and then came to wish to know, to "think out for himself," all that he could about this Other Country which would at some time be his home. Hence, came, therefore, his heart searchings, and his custom of mental prayer. But if his method of procedure was unusual, his experiences in his ascet ical relations with God were not, and unaided and untaught he passed alone through some few at least of the phases of tremulous, stammering joy and acute torture (of doubt and scrupulous fear) by which God heart ens and then sears white the souls whom He would draw to Himself. Aridity, black beast of prayerful hearts, came at last to cover him like an evil cloud and in its dark night he struggled and wasted his strength with spendthrift abandon because foolishly, but innocently, he had spoken of his plight to no man, not even to his Confessor. He found no joy in thoughts of God, or (and this indeed was the redeeming sign then) in any created thing. He tossed back and forth ceaselessly, between doubt and self-reproach. He was parched and a-thirst for the waters of conso lation and God would not place one cooling drop upon his soul. And then —of all times!—came the tempta tion. For upwards of a year his employ ers had watched him closely with a view to promoting him to a certain post of authoritative responsibility. His youth, an obvious objection, was offset by maturity of appearance and manner, and his work throughout his service had been eminently satis factory, for (in the right and legitimate sense) he had never permitted his religion to interfere with his business. Now it happened that a death or two and a resignation had brought this need of a responsible official acutely to a head, and simultaneously with the advent of his very blackest day this position was offered to the youth who, beneath smiling lips and placid eyes, was tnen wrestling for his soul's happiness with an angel. One quali fication there was, a mysterious clause in the written offer that had come to him from the Company's President, which referred to the "fulfillment of certain conditions" as a requisite for "permanent occupancy" of the office, though neither in the offer itself or later in the verbal interview with the President which followed his grateful acceptance of the new,honor, was any mention made of possible impedi ments. The young man ventured to ask what the words might mean and received some general and evasive an swer which led him to believe that merely the usual qualities of integrity and capability had been intended. In his new-found happiness he dismissed the matter from his mind and entered forthwith upon his larger .duties. With his acceptance of the place a peace and contentment settled upon his mind quite unlike anything he had of late experienced. The riot of fears and scruples, which before had coursed through his brain with occa sional flashes of understanding of the whole situation, now ceased absolute ly. He was no longer pinioned and pilloried by cruel doubt because his mind found nothing before it to doubt about. He did not care to make any meditation even upon the Adventure of Dying—and he was not troubled that he did not care. His thoughts were of the living eager and happy thoughts. Once, in truth, in a reflect ive moment, a pang of anxiety came to him as to whether or not he was really drifting away from God. But the remembrance of his late tempest uous stated decided him quite easily (alas for his need of Direction!) to believe that God's favor must be in variably with a normal rather than with an abnormal condition, and so, to remove the occasion if not the cause of such perturbation in the fu ture, he resolved to "cut down on praying" in the day, and, at least for a time, to banish thoughts about Re ligion as if they might be the very promptings of the evil one. Certainly as far as emotive or sensible results were concerned the plan was happily conceived. Nothing now troubled him. Serene of mind and heart he gave himself wholly and unreservedly t\ his work. And on the Sunday which followed his promotion, he did not approach the altar rail because he did not feel prepared, as he told him self, despite that his accustomed Con fession had been made on the previous night. One week after he had been handed the keys of his new desk he was asked to remain after closing hour for some special work by the private sec retary of the company's president. The work was soon dispatched and the secretary, a smug man of middle age, lolling in the president's chair and smoking one of the president's cigars, began there in the silent office a conversation in reference to the growth of the company's business and the golden possibilities therein for those who were loyal and true to its service. He dilated on the neces sity of unreserved fidelity and obedi ence in those who would succeed and said that no private interests, however dear, should ever be allowed to stand in the way of this, the greater good, the company's and, indirectly, the in dividual's advancement. He took another cigar from the box and lighted it—though the first he had cast away half-smoked. "Now as for yourself," he continued, "Is it true that you are a Romanist?" "I am a Catholic," answered the young man. "Well," said the secretary, "that's a pretty narrow, screwed-down-tight, closed corporation sort of a religion, isn't it?" He received no reply. He was not deemed worthy of one. "I under stand," he continued, "that you people are opposed to fraternal unions and social societies of all kinds—except your own. Now that seems to me like damn bigotry. I'm not a Catholic but I've a lot of Catholic friends and I certainly wouldn't hesitate about join inga Catholic society if I saw that it would be to my advantage to do so, and I were invited to join one. Yet you chaps are always whining about the bigotry of other religions." Still no reply came. The Catholic youth was not unaccustomed to this sort of argument and generally en joyed such tilting because his shaft was shod with truth and he knew it. But today he felt singularly adverse even to a friendly "row." His arguing after all would effect nothing. Why waste breath upon such a subject? "Now look here," said the secretary suddenly. "You know that everything today is carried on by co-operation. Men bury the hatchet and work to gether and you have only to look at New York city to see whether the method is successful or not. We get business by the friendly co-operation of other men and to get it we our selves have to help along the good work too. One of the big assets of our business is to be a Mason. And the boss wants you to be one." "A Freemason?" said the youth faintly. "Sure!" smiled the secretary, "one of those happy chaps that have a friendly grip and ride a goat and stick to you through thick and thin for fare thee well no matter where you're stranded or broke in any part of this little old world. I'm one, and I tell you there's nothing on this earth like it. Now here's the old man's proposi THE CATHOLIC BULLETIN, MAY tion: you say the word and he'll pull the ropes and get you in double quick and then you'll be a native son and he's tipped me off that as far as he can fix it you're going to take the escalator right up to the top, and fast. Of course you'll have to cut that being a Catholic—ab-so-lu-tely. You'll have to renounce the Pope and all his pomps, but that doesn't mean that you'll have to take up with any other special religion. You can be a Shaker if you want to, or a New Cul turist or the devil knows what Now I can see by your lamps that this thing has hit you pretty hard as a surprise and I won't crowd you for an answer tonight. But I might as well tell you right here and now, that unless you come across, you're done for. The boss has a plan to let you down easy (but oh so quick) by shifting the force and making believe to kill the need of the place you've got now. As a matter of fact, he'll re-name it and give it to Schoenfield, and you'll be where you were before— perhaps. Now think it over old man and cheer up! You look as though you'd lost your grandad. Don't be a fool. These religions don't do any thing for you in this world except take your money and kid you into thinking that you're going to be happy forever after if you'll only pay up. Remember what White was reading here yester day—'Take the cash and let the credit go.' Why I'd walk right out of the Pearly Gates, I think, for the chance you've got in your fist this minute!" He put on cravenette and hat and walked off whistling, and the Catholic young man went down the long de serted stairway and out into the rain swept night. Heedless of the weather, of the fact that he was unprotected by coat or umbrella, he walked on in the streets through which he usually rode, fight ing with clenched hands and set jaw, an enemy which had reared its head suddenly within his own heart. He did not call upon God to help him. As yet his will could do nothing but say No—weakly and reasonlessly—to the voice of the tempter. For "what does it matter?" said this stranger new-born in his soul. "You can still be a Catholic secretly, in your heart. These fellows will never know. You can still receive—that is, you can still be in sympathy with the Church send it money in a quiet way and go to the—that is, go to Mass whenever the opportunity presents itself, as it sure ly will very often. God will under stand. He does not ask impossibili ties of you and He does not wish to ruin your whole future career now for the matter of not joining a society in which, after all, you have to admit, the members are good and charitable and Christian-like. More of this and then— ''Think of going back to the old desk —the disgrace of it before the office boys—before the big men—before the president who had tried to be so kind —before the home folks, and. Blinded with tears, sobbing in his throat, he rushed up a nearby station stairway and boarded the last car of an elevated railway train just as the gates were slamming. The platforms were deserted, even the guard going within for shelter against the driving storm. The youth heeded nothing save to push back his hat that the rain might fall as a cooling draught on his heated brow. It was better here —up above the congested street. Here he could begin to think and—God knows he needed to do it—to pray for light in this black desolation. He stammered words aloud into the storm to God. He told Him that he did not wish to desert Him that he wanted no created things, no honor, no place, no interest ever to break their friendship. He asked humbly and sweetly for grace, for aid, for the power of right reasoning. And sud denly before him as a picture in his mind, he beheld the scene of the Last Supper. And while he watched he saw one of the twelve slink into the shadows and out into the night. "Judas!" he whispered, and thought of the death that awaited the man who would kiss his Lord without love. "His dying, his adventure and my own will they be the same? The train swung around the curve which was near his home station. In the distance he saw its lights but it was not only the rain drops that made them seem dim. His eyes were smil ing through rain of their own, and he was whispering, "I thank Thee, dear Christ! I thank Thee!! Tomorrow nor tomorrow, nor in all the years that may come shall I ever betray Thee!" The train had reached the station. The guard came forth with upturned coat collar and looked curiously at the young man standing there, drenched and streaming. It was not at his clothing, however, but at his face, his eyes, that he looked. The face was radiant and smiling and the eyes were alight as with a vision. The guard swung open the gates, and the young man stepped off The newspapers mercifully blamed no one. Plainly the light which should have served to mark the limit of the station platform's length, had but re cently burned out of its own accord. The guard who opened the gate of the last car was thus unable to see (in the darkness and storm) that the train had stopped short of the station end. Also the lights within the car where he had been standing, the guard testified, had blinded him mo mentarily. And the unfortunate young man who had walked out into space and into death, that night, when the gate had opened—of him, "little was known beyond that he had been a clerk In the employ of—"etc., etc.— Rev.
