sTHE CATHOLIC CHURCH.
TRIBUTES

Wof. A. M. Fairbairh la considered
one of the great Jtehts of modern
Protestantism. Wis volume on
"Prophecies" is found in nearly every
intelligent £roteste*tit preacher's li
brary, and is lookpd upon as a stand
ard work on that subject. lately he
has issued a volume on "Catholicism,
Roman and Anglican," in which he
gives utterance to many fine things
concerning the Catholic Church. Not
the least interesting are those relat
ing to its sanctity:
"I freely admit the pre-eminence
of Catholicism as an historical insti
tution here she is without a rival, or
a peer. If to be at once the most
permanent and extensive, the most
plastic and inflexible ecclesiastical
organization were the same thing as
the most perfect embodiment, and
vehicle of religion, then the claim of
Catholicism were simply indisputable.
The man in search of an authorita
tive church may not hesitate once let
him assume that a visible and audible
authority is of the essence of religion,
and he has no choice he must be
come or get himself reckoned a Cath
olic.
"The Roman Church assails his un
derstanding with invincible charms.
Her sons proudly say to him: 'She
alone is Catholic, continuous, vener
able, august, the very Church Christ
founded and His apostles instituted
and organized. She possesses all the
attributes and notes of Catholicity—
an unbroken apostolic succession, an
infallible chair, unity, sanctity, truth,
an inviolable priesthood, a holy sac
rifice and efficacious sacraments.'
"The Protestant churches are but
of yesterday, without authority, whose
confused voices but protest their own
insufficiency, whose impotence al
most atones for their own sin' of
schism by the way it sets off the
might, the majesty and the unity of
Rome. In contrast the Catholic
Church stands where her Master
placed her on the rock, endowed with
the prerogatives and powers He'gave
her, and 'against her the gates of hell
A FLIGHT OF SOUL8.
On the dusty road leading to the
cemetery where humble crosses recall
many loved names to our hearts,
moves at a pace of devout recollection
the long procession of novices and Sis
ters assembled for the annual retreat.
Death has visited the ranks of the
novitiate, gathering for heaven a hum
ble .flower which is cut down at the
very threshold of the religious life, and
the burial ground awaits her mortal
remains. The coffin of unpainted wood
has been deposited for the final absolu
tion at the foot of the large bronze cru
cifix which overshadows the graves.
Two newly made mounds close by
are silent witnesses to recent griefs.
Why are these young lives removed
from the apostolate? Is not He Who
has thus prematurely summoned them,
the Divine Saviour Who of old pointed
out to His disciples the abundant har
vest* and deploring the lack of laborers
said: "Pray ye the Lord of the har
vest that He sefad forth laborers?" Un
doubtedly, and the passing centuries
have not nullified His divine words, but
the "Follow Me" which the King of the
Apostles imparts to His elect is often
mingled with an ardent desire to 're
serve them for a better world.
The first who won the heart of this
Divine Harvester was little Ouardia.
The daughter of a Kabyle recently ad
mitted to the ranks of the catechu
V mens. She had lost her mother at an
age when she could carcely dispense
with her care. When her father
brought her to us on a winter's night,
shivering with cold and faltering with
weakness, she was seven years old, but
looked scarcely four. But an unusually
precocious intelligence was manifested
despite a sickly appearance, and soon
the child's energetic mind was re
vealed through countless circum
stances which made us aware of a
chosen nature.
She was put in the weaving room,
where she could more readily than
elsewhere acquire a trade suited to
her delicate health. There, silent and
like one absorbed in an interior work,
Ouardia spent long hours, her large
brown eyes hidden by the veil of her
.lowered lids, her frail form bent low
1 over the light spinning wheel moved
i by her foot, the monotonous song of
I whteb seemed like a lullaby foi still
ing the sorrows.her prematurely
wounded soul.
Then came a day when her place in,
tlft? work-room was empty. Measles,
I then epidemic among the orphans,
had attacked the little girl whose
delicate constitution was too easily,
undermined by the violence of the
sickness, wvich soon tarried her to
death's door.% The doctor did not con
eal the seriousness of her condition,
and recognizing the danger, the chap
lain decided to baptize her without de
lay.
Ouardia exchanged her pagan name
for that of Marie Jacqueline. It was
.1he evening of Corpus Christi. The
child, now extremely weak, seer^d
only to await this grace before taking
flight for her heavenly abode.
MS very
thing was peaceful aftd

shall not prevail.'v
"Supernatural »grace is hers it
watched over her cradle, has followed
her in all her ways through all .her
centuries, and has not forsaken her
yet. She is not, like Protestantism,
a concession to the negative spirit, an
unholy compromise with naturalism.
Everything about her is positive and
transcendant she is the bearer of di
vine truth, the representative of di
vine order, the supernatural living in
the very heart, and before the very
face of the natural. The saints, too,
are hers, and the man she receives,
joins their communion, enjoys their
godly fellowship, feels their influence,
participates in their merit and the
blessings they distribute. Their earth
ly life made the past of the Church
illustrious, their heavenly activity
binds the visible and the invisible into
unity, and lifts time into eternity. To
honor the saints is to honor sanctity
the Church which teaches man to
live holy, helps him to love holiness.
And the fathers are hers their labor
ings, sufferings, martyrdoms, were
for her sake she treasures their
words and their works her sons
alone are able to say: 'Athanasius
and Chrysostom, Thomas Aquinas,
and Duns Scotus, Cyprian and Au
gustine, Anselm and Bernard are
ours their wealth is our inheritance
at their feet we learn filial reverence
and divine wisdom.'
"But rich as she is in persons, she
is richer in tisuth her worship is a
great deep. Hidden sanctities and
meanings surround man the sacra
mental principle invests the simplest
things, acts and rites with an awful
yet blissful significance turns all
worship into a divine parable, which
speaks the deep things of God, now
into a medium of His gracious and
consolatory approach to man, and
man's awed and contrite, hopeful and
prevailing approach to Him. Symbols
are deeper than words speak when
words become silent gain where
words lose-in meaning and so in
hours of holiest worship the Church
teaches by symbols truths language
may not utter."

And while her brow radiant with hap
piness, bowed beneath the regenerat
ing waters, one had almost instinctive
ly a vision of white-winged angelt
beckoning the chosen one to their
ranks.
But the hour of Providence was not
as near as it seemed. Suddenly there
was a slight improvement, which
grew by degree?. But alas! a pitiless
disease soon manifested itself. Pul
monary tuberculosis, taking root in
a persistent fever, was about to ex
haust the remaining strength of this
debilitated constitution.
Constantly confined to her bed of
suffering Marie Jacqueline only left it
when the warm afternoons of summer
enabled her to be carried beneath the
shade of the eucalyptus trees, where
the sifting rays of the June sun re
vived her exhausted lungs somewhat
Endowed with a strength of soul
rare for her age she seemed to exer
cise her ingenuity to conceal her sick
condition. Thus, considerate to an ex
treme of those about her, she en
deavored at night to stifle her cough
in order not to disturb the sleep of
those in the neighboring rooms*
On thi morning of her baptism she
had requested that her father be pres
ent. The soul of this poor MuSsul
man was so dear to her heart that
she offered all her sufferings in his
behalf. She desired that he might as
often as possible be a witness of what
transpired so that later, when she
should be no more, her memory might
recall to him some grace of her Chris
tian life.
Bishop Piquemal having come to
the novitiate to administer the sacra
ment of confirmation, she had her f&

lying all her remaining strength
asked that he might carry her to the
feet of the prelate who was to ad
minister the gifts of the Holy Ghost
She passed away quietly on the
morning of August 19. The Sister,
who was taking care of her, perceiv
ing that the last glimmer of life was
on the verge of extinction, hastened
to say the prayers for the dying, and
her supplications were answered by a
mere whisper. Our Lord had passed

THE PLAGUE IN INDIA.
The Q*te?hist Sis^oi&ArjLJin
maculate, who are working in Nagpur,
India, have passed a hard winter
The pest afflicted the population and
the dead numbered as many as two
hundred a day even domestic animals
were affected.
The Home for the Poor conducted
by the Sisters has always been pre
served from plagues, to the great
wonder of the pagans. The latter
even reproach the inmates because
they, too, are not taken sick and
caused to perish with the others but
the nuns believe their home is under
the special protection of the Blessed
Virgin, their Patroness.
Three Sisters devote thtaoetfregto
faring for the victims of the pest.
The terrible sights, the misery they
looked upon would make the stoutest
hearts quail. Whole families were'
often carried off in a few days. Here
and there they found a single living
person lying helpless beside his dead
relatives or children. In every case
the kind nurses did what they could
to ease the sufferings of the dying,
and whqre children were left orphans
they brought them home to be cared
for.
The dead being too numerous to be
buried according to custom, and there
not being enough wood to burn the
bodies, the government purchased a
large tract of land and interned the
dead Without regard to caite^nd so
near the surface that jackals and
hyenas came and dug up the corpses
to devour them. Crossing a ceme
tery on their way to visit the sic!
the nuns found themselves ii\ a mass
of skulls and bones that had b^en left
by prowling animals. The experience
called for fortitude on the part of the
Sisters.
THE RESURRECTION OF DEAD
MAN.
Father I,e Veux, P. B., missionary
in Uganda, writes from Nandera:
Kittata was a good old pagan who
for a long time had turned a deaf
ear to all my exhortations.
On my last visit to his village I
found him at the door of his hut.
"Well, kittata," said I, "when do
you intend to pray?" ...
"Some day, Sebo (Father). As yet
I have not decided."
"While you are waiting,, will you
accept this medal of the Blessed Vir
gin?"
Buf hi#, return to earthly life was
not To be of long duration. The next
day Mark Kittata breathed his last.
A month later his wife, Mutawana,
also received baptism and that very
night rejoined her husband in
heaven. Their little daughter, Nabb
wa, is with the native Sisters*

form perhaps, one of the least known,
yet one of tne most active Congrega
tions in the Mission Field, but that
"hiddenness" which its saintly foun
der, the Cur£ of Lev6ville-la-Chenard,
of the Chartres diocese, impressed on
it in the seventeenth century, when
he gathered the pious ladies of his
parish into a community for teachin
the ignorant and succoring the sick,
still invests the Congregation today.
The history of St. Paul de Chartres
Sisters during the last 220 years has
been one unbroken record of apostolic
charity and holy effort. From the
peaceful shelter of a French cathe
dral town their good works have
radiated out through the France be
yond the seas, shining alike in care
for the sick and the victims of lep
rosy, the abandoned orphans of the
Far East, and the military hospitals
of Cochin, Tonkin and Annam, and
carrying into the farthest colonies of
France that Missionary spirit which
is her enduripg glory as a Catholic
nation.

RAY OF LIGHT, v
The cover of the magazine caught
his eye. A startling one as usual, a
little nigger dressed in a brilliant red
overall.
Tranton cut a pennon dut of the
overall, then searched his pockets for
a match, which on finding he Split at
both ends. The improvised flag was
then inserted, and the pennon and staff
fixed on the tip of the sail.
"Now what shall we christen the
ship, Ronnie? I think in compliment
to the flag she flies we will call her
H. M. S. Pinafore. Come along and
let's launch her. See, we will make
this magazine the slips. There she
goes! Where shall her first voyage
be? How about Timbuctoo?"
"Oh uncle, what are you doing'"
cried Ronnie for Tranton had taken
the lens and was focussing a bright
spot of sunlight to the pennon.
"Just wait and watch," he said.
The boy waited in silence, then sud
denly exclaimed in amazement:
"•Oh, Uncle Jim, it's smoking!".
A moment afterwards It hurst into

dangerously ill. His little daughter,
Xabbwa, who was at home, put the
medal about his rieck, but this was
all, as. she was unable to baptize or
instruct him. One day about noon he
heaved a sigh and expired.
On hearing the cries of the little
girl the neighbors hastened to the
house, verified the death, wrapped the
body in coverings and went to dig the
grave, for things are done quickly in
this country.
But about four o'clock, shortly be
fore the funeral, the dead man began
to stir. On seeing this the women
fled, but several men, who were more
courageous, unwrapped the body.
Kittata opened his eyes, looked
about him and cried: "Quick! quick!
send for Petno the catechist!"
The catechist came in great haste:
"So, Kittata, you are not dead? What
has happened?" ...
"Baptize me flfrst we will talk
afterwards."
Petro prepared him as best he
could, strove to arouse him to con
trition for his sins and baptized him.
When the ceremony was over tM
convert addressed those present:
"Now that all is well with me, lis
ten to me, my friends. I was really
dead. After haying traversed a. val
ley from which arose frightful
lamentations I saw a hill on which
there was a majestic Person sur
rounded by a multitude of people who
Seemed infinitely happy. This great
Lord made a sign to me to approach
no nearer. 'Unbelievers,' He declared
solemnly, 'are not received here. Fol

flame. The brave, gaudy pennon was
slowly devoured and the fire swept on
till the whole of the tiny ship was
alight soon all that remained was a
few ashes scattered on the water.
The boy's face was a st\^y£ He
looked thoroughly mystified.
"What was it you did, tmcle? How
did you make it catch fire?"
"Well, Ronnie, I am not. clever
enough, t^ explain it. all to you so
that yoii could understand it. You see
thii .lonfi is rounded, so instead of
the rays of light falling evenly as they
do through a window, they are gath

and the heat are concentrated. See
how vVery bright the ligfe^ JLn. Now
feel.it." '..fl v1'!
And Tranton focussed ft for a moT
ment on the "back of the boy's brown
hand. It was suddenly snatched away
as Ronnie exclaimed:
Oh,
It's] hot, undle!.
The boy, silenced by the wonder he
had. seen, Was trying to re-enact it,
bending with puckered brow and lower
lip held between tiny teeth.
But in that suburban garden a
mightier wonder had been wrought
than any in the storehouse of nature.
A Light greater it} its intensity, holier
In its heat, had consumed Tranton's
difficulty, and at 'the same time had
shown him the "City set on the hill,"
and the Lamb slain "which jb the
Light thereof." By the light "of the
natural wonder, fte saw clearly and
unmistakably the miracle wrought
daily on all the altars throughout the
world.
As tie lens brought the concen
trated nature and essence 6f the sun
within actual reach, so that divinely
instituted Sacrament brought the very
Sun of Righteousness Himself more
wonderfully near than when He taber
nacled in Bethlehem, that first "House
of Bread," and even as the sun suf
fered no diminution by any number of
similar demonstrations, so that Holy
Sacrament, like the Love of which it
was the transcendent expression, was
"for ever shared,-for ever whole."
The revelation had received was
as the keynote of an arch, making of
his belief a perfect structure, and the
structure was illuminated with the
•glow-of-living faith. Those first few
moments were to Tranton moments of
ecstasy, a foretaste of Eternity, and
ever afterward refeained a vivid mem
ory, their absolute reality helping him
through the occasional discipline of
spiritual darkness.,
To..some converts the satisfaction
of the mind seemg. all that is given
there is no conscious satisfaction of
spirit. The supreme "Act of Faith"
with them is in »very truth an "act
of faith." Surely A'ey may be counted
among the "Blessed," who "seeing not,
believed!"
The sudden noise, of a hastily shut
door cut sharpl/ across the drowsy
sounds in the garden, and the boy
shouting, "Here's Daildy!" ran into
the house. Tranton, leaning forward,
buried his face in his hands for a
mohient, then ros$ slowly to his feet,
and walked across the grass as Clif
ton came out of the house with Ron
nie. The two shook hands.
"Sorry, Jim, I happened to be late
this afternoon, but something turned
lip at the office and I missed my usual
train. I sent the wife a wire."
"Yes, Nell told me."
"Hope this youngster las not been
a nuisance.''
"Not a bit.*"
"I haven't—truthful—Daddy. I was
quite quiet for a long time, then
Uncle Jim did something wonderful!"
They strolled into the house, the
boy recounting in eager tones the loss
of the paper ship»
"You've got a jolly nice brother,
Nell," said Clifton to his wife after
Tranton had left. "I am glad he came
down today. I wanted to ask his ad
vice on one or two tricky points in
that recent business I told you about.
He has cleared my difficulties away
wonderfully. What I like about Jim
is that he takes as much trouble in
unraveling the tangles of others as he
would over his own."'
Tranton caught the last bus going
citywards. That ride through London
that sultry August night lives still in
Ijis memory.
He reached his room, came to the
window, threw it up, and sat down.
The tinkling water of the fountain
sounded in his ears, and his heart
leapt with thanksgiving as he thought
how much.had happened since he had
last heard it, only a few short hours
before. He sat till long after mid
night, wrapped in quiet thought. It
seemed to him that he wandered in
a lovely country, familiar with every
high road and leafy lane—a country
he had only previously studied as a
map upon a wall. And the glory of it
lay in the fact that it was his—his
native land—which his. Divine Lord
and Friend had died to win for him.
In it he knew he would find celestial
companions, and even as he wondered
he saw them coming towards him with
hands outstretched in welcome, and
mingling with the music of the foun
tain he heard their glad greetings:
"You are come into the City of the
Living God, the Heavenly Jerusalem,
and to an innumerable company of

"It is such a long way off. It is
all flame and fire just the same as
the little fire which burnt up the ship.
The lens brought the power and heat
of the sun quite near."
Tranton stopped, and an expression
dawned on his face it would be diffi
cult to describe. His lips closed and
straightened and his eyes grew sud
denly still as if he were either listen
ing intently or striving to grasp an
elusive idea. The blundering bumble
bee still hummed in the hollyhoeks,
and the. softened stir of, the traffic
sounded across the.gardens.

to Jesus, the Mediator of the New

Next morning Tranton weint to Mass
at St. Ethelreda's Church—that Island
of peace in the swirl of the London
traffic. He could not follow entirely,
but the Central Act was all that mat
tered to him that morning, and the
mighty mystery and wonder of such
love and condescension bowed his
very soul in adoration.
He spent, the day quietly in his
room waiting for his friend. In the
eveniHg Fle6t came. He shook hands
in silence and taking a cigaret from
the Treihton offered, lit it and
sat down. iTUey were a silent pair
very often, Imt there was a restraint
upon eacli of them, for Fleet also
had a story -of the hours sinee they
parted from €acji other. At last
Tranton spoke.
"How far did you go on Saturday?"
"Where?" said Fleet.
"Why, on the river you were (going,
you said."
"Oh, I changed my mind."
"Whatever for? What turned up?"
A shadow of embarrassment and
hesitation passed over Fleet's face be
fore he answered slowly:
"After what you said on Saturday,
there was only one place I wanted.
After leaving you, I spent the next
two hours in St. Ethelreda's," and
getting up he walked across to the
window, and stood with his hands in
his pockets, looking out.
"By Jove!'4 said Tranton, softly un
der his breath.
There was tense silence for a mo
ment, then: "Thank you, Tony," he
said.
'.v ..
The tone in which it was said made
Fleet turn round suddenly, to find his
friend had risen, and was standing
with his face telling his story.
"Something has happened!" said
Fleet, with intensity in his voice
"tell me, Jim."
"Yes, something has happened, Tony
—the answer to your prayers." And
sitting down on either side of the
window in the gathering darkness the
story was told—tersely and with all
the restraint with which an English
man speaks of his inner experiences
But Tony understood, and his praise
was as fervent as had been his
prayers.
A few days after, Tranton was re
ceived into the Church, and on All
Saints' day, side by side with his
friend, he had the awed, mysterious
joy of receiving his Lord in Holy
Communion.
Ronnie wondered how it was his

when Uncle Jim turned it out of his
pocket some weeks later.
Years after he understood, for
Tranton told him the story, of an
older one which stood always on his
writing table.
