GOOD TESTIM
Some years ago, this minister
preached a sermon to Ins people, in
which he said, in part, as follows:
I love to think that God is good.
I love also to -think about the good
ness of my fellowmen. I am also
deeply interested in the religions of
the world—those systems of thought
and feeling and action by which men
are trying to find the path that leads
up to that garden of God—paradise.
There are so many of these relig
ions that again and again the question
forces itself: How is it possible for
men to be so various in their religious
thought and activity when their re
ligious purpose is one and the same?
I hold in my hand a recent book,
"Our Christian Heritage," written by
Cardinal Gibbons of Baltimore. I
have read it with interest. It has in
formed my mind it has helped my
heart: it is an addition to the Chris
tian literature of our age. It enables
me to speak of "Some of the good
things of Catholicism." The book con
tains thirty-five short discourses on
topics of great and common interest
to all who love the Lord Jesus Christ.
It is not polemical. It has nothing to
say against any Christian denomina
lion that still retains faith in at least
the divine mission of Jesus Christ.
The Cardinal gladly acknowledges
that the most of the topics discussed
find able and zealous advocates among
Protestant writers. If a few slight
changes were made many a critical
Protestant would never suspect that
it was written by a Catholic. The
spirit of the book is to win men to an
appreciation of God and an apprehen
sion of Christ. Mr. Cressey then read
an extract from the preface of the
book, stating that the author does not
believe any radical cure of religious
distemper can be effected by repres
sive measures. It is not by coercion,
but by the voluntary surrender of the
citadel of the heart, that mau is con
verted. The only sword I would
draw against the children of unbelief
is the "sword of the spirit, which is
the word of God." Could any Prot
estant write truer or sweeter words?
First, Catholicism holds firmly to
the divinity of the Lord Jesus Christ
Cardinal Gibbons' three chapters on
this question would help many a Prot
estant's faith, and stir him with a new
fervor for souls.
Mr. Cressey gave some of the emi
nent prelate's arguments and said
that surely Protestantism is .stronger
than otherwise possible because Ca
tholicism thus holds and preaches the
divinity of Jesus. Again, he asked, if
it is not true that neither Catholicism
nor Protestantism can afford to ignore
the co-operation of the other in thus
seeking to stay the tide of infidelity
which threatens the very life of the
church?
In the second place he considered
the chapters on the immortality of
the soul and that on eternal punish
ment. The Cardinal begins this chpfp
ter with the famous soliloquy of Cato.
God is indeed merciful, but He never
MISSION ECHOES.
Mother Agnelle, F. M. M., seems to
be especially chosen to found com
munities of her sisterhood in new
and sometimes difficult places. Just
before the war she opened a hospital
and orphanage in Harbin, Manchuria,
where she encountered great hard
ship. Now she has been transferred
to Shansi to establish a house. The
house will be given over to the care
of little Chinese babies who would
otherwise be thrown to the pigs and
dogs as soon as born. Three hundred
little ones are awaiting Mother
Agnelle's care.
UP{
Our method of saving castaway
children by sending a small sum of
money to ensure their support in an
orphanage commends itself to some
people outside of the Church. A
Protestant lady wrote to one of the
S. P. F. offices recently, enclosing
iifteen dollars and the following sur
prising note:
"I am a member of the Episcopal
Church, but I admire the grand work
your Church is doing, and want to help
some." This from a Protestant, and
yet our grand work receives scarce a
passing notice from many of our own I
ipeopl*!

PRAYERS FOR THE DEAD.
O'er land and sea, love follow? with
fond prayers
Its dear ones in their troubles, grief,
and cares
There is no spot
On which it does not drop this tender
dew,
Except the grave, and there It bids
adieu,
And prayeth not.
Why should that be the only
cheered
And call .upon His love to shield from
ill
Our dearest, best,
And bring them home and recom
pense their pain,
And cleanse their sin, if any sin re
m%in,
And give them rest?
Nay, I will not believe it. I will pray,
As for the living, for the dead each
day.
.They will not grow
Less meet for heaven when followed
by a prayer
To speed them home, like summer
scented air
From long ago.
Who shall forbid the heart's desires
to flow
Beyond the limit of the things we
know?
In the heaven above
The incense that the golden censers
bear
Is the sweet perfume from the saintly
prayer

forces His mercy upon a man. While
the love is infinite its application is
finite. He wishes the salvation of all
men, but can any one hope to be saved
if repentance be wanting? To the cry
for pardon He ever listens—but what
if that cry is never heard? On Ve
pentance he says that sorrow and re
pentance are not convertible terms.
Repentance always means sorrow, but
sorrow does not always mean repent
ance.

MISSION F1ELDSA
sweet, far from kith and kin and
country, in behalf of God's kingdom
and the souls of men. I like to think
of, and I regard it as a privilege to
meet, these warriors in the trenches,
who have labored with me in the Gos
pel. They have my sympathy, my
reverence, my admiration,, almost my
envy."
&
P. F. M., of
North Manchuria, announces proudly:
"On June
the feast of St. Peter, I
solemnly blessed the cornerstone of
the Cathedral at Ghirin." It will
surely be a joyful day for +he Catho
lics of that difficult fission country
when they possess a Cathedral.
REAL HEROES.
The Very "Rev. Father Sykes, S. X,
Provincial of the Zambesi, South Afri
ca, speaks of the pioneers.in the mis
sionary trenches: "No applause or
noisy crowds await them. Nor
crosses nor medals nor ribbons. Prob-
i, 1» ably they will never "Bee the dear
homeland again. But they are full as
r/i worthy as the soldiers who are fight
's- "ing at the front. They are spending
themselves and being spent, are bear-
ing the burden of the day and its beat
w-i and isolation and a plentiful lack of
A
JUST BEGINNING.
We are all hoping that the war is
coming to a speedy end. But our
"War" the Mission Campaign—is
.only just beginning!
As one apostle has said, the amount
spent ill a -single day of the great
struggle would save millions of souls.
This is true, but even before the Euro
pean conflict the missionaries were
waging battle silently and painfully
against the great enemy of men. They
had little money then as now, but they
kept on, and must keep on, whatever
the rest of the world is doing, ^heir
war is just beginning, for in two thou
sand years only a comparatively few
have been brought under the standard
of the Cross. Moi-e pagans perish in
a day than soldiers are killed in the
i great slaughter now going on, but few
.Jf
people give that fact a thought. Only
the missionaries realize it, and ask for
help^^continue their campaign.
MORE MISSION POSTS FOR THE
DONGO.
Rev. Father Brandsma, Superior of
the Mill Hill Mission at Basankusu
Belgian Congo has been endeavoring
to found a new station at Liilanga, an
Important place at the junction of the
Lulanga and Congo rivers. After
some difficulty he secured some land
and says further:
"I have put the best catechist there
and things are going well already we
have from sixty to seventy heathens
attending the catecliumenate, and this
number will no doubt- ipcrease as we
get better known. We have in Lu
lan&a about two hundred Christians
and a repeated visit of a Father is
very necessary. Next we fhall com
mence on temporary buildings, in or
der to consolidate our work. I intend
to use the funds which have so kindly
beea jae^aUeadj con-
i
struction of the (kpel, but, besides
that, there is the apense of the tem
porary buildings a» a house of the
Father who shall hLe to stay at Lu
langa ten or fifteen Wys every month.
The church will beMedicated to the
saint suggested by le generous per
son who builds it, hit, independent
from the church, tn mission could
be dedicated to the taint suggested
by the benefactor whatuilds the other
buildings."
FOOD FOR THOUGHT.
It would seem thatUhe Catholic
Church in the Unite! States has
reached a point of proberity where
it can afford to enlargl its horizon,
look abroad' over the wtld and con
sider the condition of pe Faith in
less favored regions.
Heretofore Catholics have been
building magnificent chlrchSs and
schools and institutions! of mercy.
The time has come now! especially
when the distress is so keneral, to
lift- up their eyes and view the ripen
ed harvest fields which till surely
perish unless with a tru* Catholic
spirit they supply the latorers and
material resources. The (itholic, or
universal, viewpoint is naded, and
the result will be then assi^ed.

Tientsin, ©he of the notaile'cities
of China, belongs to the Vi anate of
Maritime Tche-li, and its Vic is Mgr.
Dumond, C. M. He has ju written
an interesting letter concer ing pres
ent conditions there, which ^e quote:
"The needs of this missim are im
mense. Besides the demaris of a vi
cariate of comparatively relent forma
tion,* and therefore compo/ed of new
Christians, the city of Tiptsin itself
absorbs a large part of oif resources.
It is an immense city, wfh a million
or more inhabitants, and/is the great
port of the north of Chim, as Shang
hai is of the center, afe Canton is
of the south of China.

JAPAN FIGHFS THE SCOURGE OF
EPROSY.
An interesting study of leprosy has
recently bep made by Dr. Koda, of
Tokio, Japai, a prominent physician.
He dellare/ that, of 942 patients ex
amined by/ him, only 255, or 27 per
cent, have fellow-sufferers in their
own familj. He believes that the
disease is &>t hereditary in the sense
that insaniy is hereditary. It can
not, he says, skip a generation and
appear in iie grandchildren. He con
siders the shunning and isolation of
leprous families unnecessary. Only
the individial patients must be segre
gated, he believes. In Japan there
are 23,800. lepers registered, but the
families jivolved aggregate 990,000
persons, kbout 1,000 persons are now
segregated
Dr. Kodi states it would cost only
the price, of a new battleship to in
augurate i thorough isolation policy,
and thiiks that in this way the
disease ?ould be stamped out of
Japan, a least as a family, curse,
within twenty years.
THE pEAN'S OLD HAT.
The -fenerable old dean sat with
pleasure under a wide, branchy lin
den tret on the church lot. Its rich,
broad l»ayes shaded the parsonage
built in the barrack style. Sitting
here he talked to his large hunting
dog, wh« loved to be" petted, and press
his heai on the breast of the good
old fatter. With ben^olent eyes the
veneraie old man glanced trickishly
over he large spectacles and with
his thiii lips he patiently pulled on his
always badly burning pipe.
For ivery one passing by he had
a kind aiid joking word and, answer
ing a rreeting, he waved in a large
circle lis old, broad and weather-worn
hat.
This lold felt hat had obtained
among the clergy far and near in
his dealtry a certain honor and fame,
and theloldest people in the country
knew it! since their childhood. But
the dean decided, after much urging
of his Watchful anl careful house
keeper, ^te resolute Mrs. Philomina,
to buy a |ew cassock after every ten
years, or lave the old faded color on
it renewe or have a new consistorial
mantillo le never changed hats, keep
ing his oU felt, and no eloquep.ce yet
feo fine »uld Make him buy a few
tat.
Sometiiies this filthy thing, shin
ing in mshy colors, was lost in some
inexplicabfe way, as Mrs. Philomina
assured, qit the shrewdness of the
old gentleban always discovered it
again in ^ome secret hiding place,
and then Tfth exquisite joy and sat
isfaction w^uld put it on his gray
head. This'faithful comrade had. ac
companied Hm on all his calls of
duty and ha| protected him, and had
been, also, Its roof on long journeys.
On one of these distant trips it
happened tljtit the old bareheaded
gentleman stepped off the train into
the restauralt, and whilst beinj^ in
there the tnin pulled out with his
hat on the sej,t and so he had to take
the next trail. But how to get back
his old hat? lie immediately dispateh
efl next station to the conductor
^naasr*
of the train to safeguard his venerable
hat, but it had passed on to the next
division station of the railroad and
was first returned fin a hat case after
a few days.
Nothing else was safe from his de
molishing teeth, but his master's slap
hat he was not permitted to injure,
and his carefulness was tenderly
recognized by his master. If no mor
tal finger could or would touch that
gray "bid hat throning on the window
molding, the dog could take it down
carefully and play with it and carry
it proudly, like
rthe
One day the old pastor did not
appear on his kneeling bench as
usual in church this hat was rest
ing on a windowsill and the sun-beams
were playing upon the high, pillow
in his bedroom, the dog growling and
stretching himself and holding out
one paw, and the old housekeeper
Philomina walked through the house
weeping. But the old dean was cold
and stiff, dead in his upholstered bed.
His white head, with smiling face, was
resting in the flowing pillows—he had
died at sunrise,,
Everybody was stirred- by this re
port, and much funning was going on
about the usually quiet parsonage.
Many friends came who honored his
merits, who praised his virtues, and
a touching necojogue was written up,
and on the third day the entire popu
lace of the village was present. The
bells tolled mournfully and after the
solemn requiem an almost endless pro
cession was formed, escorting the dear
old dean to the cemetery.
The blue sky hung over the moun
tains and valleys where the little vil
lage is located. It was a bright sum
mer day and very hot. Alongside the
cemetery road flows a wild mountain
stream deep into the rocks. The
church banners waved up and down
and the prayers of the white-surpliced
priests and people were broken by
the dull and deep sounds o'f the vet
eran's drum and piercing sounds play
ing thfe funeral dirge. The proces
sion moved on slowly up hill and
down hill till finally it reached the
large gates of the cemeteiy. The
bier was let down, the people gather
ed around it, then deep silence set in
and the most prominent: pHest rais
ed his voice to chant.
Suddenly the peoplp were aroused.
First they quietly began to speak
line afte* line was picked up and all
turned their faces towards the creek.
There he was, panting and excited,
standing up high on the other side of
the shore, the dean's dog, holding be
tween his teeth his old hat'and look
ing towards them.
He had been penned up jto the
house and had noticed the noise of
the funeral services moving away.
Howling, he ran about to find an out
let and, not finding one, he grabbed
the dean's old hat from the window
sill and jumped through the broken
window. Breathless he ran through
the empty village, following the trail
of the procession. And now he stood
panting in front of the cemetery
Here, on the other side of the creek,
on a high bank, he raised himself up,
looking upon the crowd to detect his
master. The people understood his
anxiety and his love for his master
and pitied the faithful animal who was
now helpless and nobody's dog. Some
soft-hearted were touched to tfears
while others began to smile and to
grin at this rare happening even the
praying priest stopped for a moment
But Mrs. Philomina, noticing the
disturber, and angry, talked up
to him, took the hat from his mouth
and casl it down into the rapidly
flowing creek. The waters received
it gently, leveled up its creases, turn
ed it around in a circle then it float
ed speedily dow tt the creek as if it
longed to follow its oWner ih the land
of eternity.
Then the burial took place, while,
from the shore, the mournful howl
ing of the dog was heard, who was
looking after the disappearing hat till
it spnk in the deep' waters.

With a mild reproach of the dean,
and with a grim-looking, cursing face
of Philpmina, the hat was received,
and, touched with joy, .be put it on
and the feast of the finding of the
hat instituted, annually this incident
was celebrated. The poetical clergy
of the country invented numerous
ballads and hymns qn this celebration,
but no sarcasm or bile could de
throne the favorite its owner clung
to it in antique fidelity and "would
have never* discarded it, not even for
lys life." When this old gentleman*
walked across^the balmy hay field in
hot summer lays, or admiring the
fruit-laden trees which promised a
cool drink, he would take off his hat
from his perspiring head and hand it
over to his faithful dog. Mr. Bierbein

i Kefore
The children of the village were
the favorites of the gentle old man
and the school was dear to him
"Indeed, I am an honest friend of
the new school, only it ought* "to be
a little Spanish like," he said once,
"then there would be less twelve
year-old damsels and laddies, but more
good children." Yet, he loved the
young people in spite of their wild
manners, and with tender care he often
called a little barefooted boy to him
under the linden tree and questioned
him in the usual way. "What Is your
name, you little man?" "Conrad
Reverend Dean!" "So, so, h'm the high
—well—noble born Mr. Conrad you are?
Your obedient servant! From whom
did you get your blue eyes and the
golden hair? Look I need some new
ones and I would like*to buy just that
kind. Wouldn't you like to give tbem
to me? I will give you my fine hat
for them." And then he would bury
the smiling face of the boy with his
big old hat. The little fellow gener
ally slipped away from under it like a
fish out of a basin and fled, frighten
ed by the barking dog. The old gentle
man would fold his hands over his
face and forehead and put'on his hat
as if something of the yeung life had
remained in it. ...

Doubtless the finest Madonnas of
the seventeenth century afe those
produced by the Spanish School, nof
precisely because of their grandeur
and grace, but, rather, because of their
intensely human and sympathetic
character. After all, it is this human
touch that appeals most strongly to
our responsive nature. The appeal is
to our faith through tl^ feelings, rath
er than through tire imagination.
Morales and Ribera eicelled in the
Mater Dolorosa and who has ever
surpassed Murillo in his tender exal
tation of maternity?
The canvas which id the subject of
the present article belongs to the
group of devotional themes, writes
Rev. E. Sugranes, in The Tidings.
This theme is not an historical one,
because it deals not with the life of
the Blessed Virgin, tmt rather with
her character and attributes. More
over, the portrait is one of those rep
resenting the Madonna without the
Child. The general idea conveyed by
this and similar paintings Is the ex
ceeding kindness of the Mother of
God. One of the most important ver
sions of this general subject, the love
and mercy of Our Lady, and one that
deserves notice, is the canvas ndw
under consideration.

ly portrayed as the Good Shepherd,
so among the later Spanish fancies we
find His Mother represented as ,tlie
blessed Shepherdess,—the Mother of
the Divine Shepherd.
In -a masterful painting by Alonzo
Miguel de Tovar, done about the be
ginning of the eighteenth, century, we
find the Virgin Mary, seated under a
tree in the guise of an Arcadian
Pastorella, wearing a broad brimmed
hat encircled by a glory, a crook in
her hand, while she feeds her flock
with mystical roses. The beauty of
expression in the head is such as al
hiost to redeem the quaintness of the
religious conceit. The whole picture
is described as worthy of Murillo. It
was painted for a Franciscan church
at Madrid, and the idea became so
popular that we find it multiplied and
varied in French and German prints
of the last century. The original pic
ture remains unequalea for its pen
sive poetical grace.
The oil painting at the Old Plaza
Church Museum, at Los Angeles, rep
resenting ,Our Lady the Mother of the
Divine Shepherd, measures four feet
and eleven incfTes in length by three
feet and three inches in breadth. Un
fortunately, the picture was narrowed
five inches in order to make it fit a
frame twenty-four inches wide.
The image is nearly life-sized, and
is seated. In keeping with .the tradi
tions of the Spanish School, the Ma
donna is clad in a red tunic and
draped with a blue mantle. More
over, she wears a white waist, or sort
of jacket. In the left hand she car
ries a flower, and with her right she
caresses a sheep. The Blessed Mother
is surrounded by angels. Two of
these angels hold above her head a
diadem. Another at her right hand
holds a staff, while a fourth, a little
below, carries a crook.
The lower portion of the canvas Re
veals sheep cropping flowers. At" the
left hand, slightly remote from the
image, appears a sheep in flight from
a pursuing dragon. The frightened,
sheep is invoking the Blessed Virgin's
aid, saying, "Ave Maria"—Hail Mary!
