He soon reached the celebrated monastery which gave its name to this mountain. He had come to this place to consecrate his life to God. He explained his holy intention to the Prior of the monastery, but as he had not finished his Latin studies, he \\·as told to return to his home and to apply himself first to his studies and that afterwards he might come back. Luis was disappointed, he set out for home but ere long he found out that his life was to be dedicated to God in the world. A few years later, an attractive and pious girl, Zelie Guerin, presented herself at the Convent of the sisters of Charity at Alen~on in France. For years it had been her desire to become a nun. But in the interview she had with the Superioress of this convent, she was told she had no religious vocation. "Oh my God," was her answer, "since I am unworthy of being Thy Spouse, I shall enter the married state to fulfil Thy Holy will, and I beseech Thee to make me the mother of many children, and to grant that all of them may be dedicated to Thee." On July 12, 1858, Louis Martin and Zelie Guerin were married in the church of Notre Dame, at Alen~on "solely for the love of children, in whom God's Name might be blessed for ever and ever." One of these children was to be the Little Flower; of the eight others four reached heaven before they had reached the age of reason, and the others were consecrated in religion to Him who had refused the consecration of their parents. God knows best, for He is infinitely wise and His views on us are prompted by His infinite love for His images, His children. vVe know such; nevertheless how often do we not murmur, at least indirectly, against the will of God which seems to thwart our designs, which in our eyes seemed to be even the highest and the best of our 130 St. Theresa of the Child of Jesus and Her Sisters J. Pauline - 2. Mary - 3. Celine - 4. Leonie - 5. Mary Guerin, first cousin of the Saint life? Here are two most devout persons. Each one of them wishes to offer their whole being to God in religion. God refuses their entrance into the convent. But God knows best: God knows that they are to give to the world one of the most wonderful Saints: the Little Flower who will attract legions to God. God refused two persons and in so doing accepted many and pre(by courtesy of th< Cultura Social) pared the way for the salvation of numberless sinners and pagans who will later attribute this grace to the intercession of the Little Flower. A devout person seems to be absolutely needed for the succes of a great work for the glory of God and the success of the Church or of one of its organizations, and Io! death takes him away. Why despair of the work? God knows best and " out of the very stones He can raise up children of Israel" . Sickness prostrates us on a bed of pains. Oh! if we were well again, we would do so and so and such great edifying works ..... God knows best. If needed, "could he not call legions of Angels" to do that work? The Church is persecuted all over the world. How can God permit such? First how could God permit the crucifixion of His own beloved Son? But must not gold be purified by the fire? God knows best and if the Church was never persecuted like during our days, never too has the Church been so strong as today: God is always with His Church until the end of the world . A dearly beloved child dies in the family. What despair! Does God know what is best for the eternal well-being of the child? He loves the 131 child, He loves its parents and He knows bt:;st how to prove His love: there is love in saving, although it may hurt. Not that at a failure in ourgood intentions or at a sorry event in our life we ought only to lift up our hands to heaven and sigh with Pett!r: "Lord save us", no, "help yourself and then God will help you ''. But, when a disgrace befalls us,when we are contradicted in our good resolutions, when we are unable to fulfil our most holy desires, if, after we have done all that we can to please God, our sacrifices seem to be refused by God, let us say: "God knows best" and let us submit to His Holy will, for He knows well what is best for us, and loves us infinitely, and that simple submission to His Holy Will will procure Him glory and bring upon us His blessings in our apparent defeats. Oct. I Sth, feast of St. Teresa St. Teresa was born in Spain in the year 1515 of parents who considered it their first and greatest duty of giving their daughter a thoroughly catholic education. When a child of seven years, Teresa ran away from her home at Avila to go to the country of the Moors, in the hope of converting them and becoming a martyr. Of course she did not reach the goal of her childish ambition and on being brought back and being asked thereas on of her flight, she replied: "I want to see God, and I -must die before I can see Him." She then began with her brother to build a small hermitage in the garden, into which she often retreated to pray. At the age of twenty she became a Carmelite nun. But it was only at the age of thirty one that she gave herself wholly to God after a vision she had in which she was shown 132 her very place in hell, t? which her own light faults and frivolous conversations would have led her. Not only did she then reform her imperfect habits, but she also reformed her own Order. Never was she satisfied with her day's work if she hati not practised some act of charity. Her device was "either to suffer or to die" as if she considered life to be useless when she did not suffer in the service of God. She suffered much, but as life is short compared to eternity, these sufferings came to an end in her 67th year, and since 1582 when she died saying: "after all I die a child of the Church" she has been enjoying the true eternal rewards of· her pains and efforts to please God. Happy are those who understand that life means only a short time to prepare the highest and happiest heaven possible forever. The Little Jesus and St. Teresa of Avila It is related in the life of St. Teresa of Avila, that one e\·ening. \\·hen traversing the cloisters of the monastery, she met a most l.Jeautiful child. Astonished to find him there, she inqtiired who he was. Let us hear her questio11 and the little Visitor's answer in these touching lines of a poet: "And who art Thou?" Teresa ask~, "And what thy name, fair Child'?" ".M:y name'' He answers. and His voice Is low and sweet and mild"Nay, tell me first what Thou art called ." Teresa's limpid eyes Flash forth her soul's deep rapt'rous Joye As S\\·ift to hearnn they rise . .:TERESA OF JESUS it is writ Upon my longing heart, In characters of light and flame By Seraph's burning dart. For Him I live, for H im I die, My only love, my joy!But speak and tell me who Thou art, Thou gentle, wondrous Boy!" Again His Voice breaks on her ears In all its melody divine: <Teresa of Jesus is thy name, And JESUS OF TERESA, Mine!" 133 From V. R. f. Van Zuvt, former Provincial Superior 1 Continuation) Bambang, N. Vizcaya February 5-1925 Dear Father Vandewalle ARRIVED at Bambang yesterday evening, after a visit to all the missions of :'\ueva Vizcaya. "'Deo Gratias": Our Lord has blessed wonderfully the priests of this province, the Catholic Faith has made remarkable progress these last years. You yourself who the first of the Belgian Fathers arrived here in N ueva Vizcaya, you know by experience in what a sad plight the Church was 18 years ago: without a single catholic priest; but no, there was .one, yes, one who had denied the Catholic Church to follow Aglipay and together with him were others who had formerfy been farmers, peddlers etc. and then pretended to bring souls to heaven in the schismatic Aglipayan Church. The plight was sad indeed and you know during 10 years our priests' life in the province of N ueva Vizcaya was a continual sacrifice, humiliation and deep sorrow. But our Missionaries have persevered. They offered up to God their physical and moral suffering as the ransom of their lost flock and, thanks to God, we may say that they harvest what was sown among so many tribulations. But let us continue the review of the missions at the point where I stopped my last letter from Kiangan. Friday, February 6. At 8 a.m. we left Kiangan. The weather is fine, thus we may expect a lovely journey. Unhappily it has rained much these last days, thus the road shall be very muddy. As long as we are on the s.tony side of the mountain, the trail is perfect, but ..... yes, on the other side of the mountain we butted into the mud, the horses nearly disappearing in the dirt and not without leaving upon us all a coat of the same slimy stuff. At noon we arrive at the house of 134 our dear friend Mr. Madaran, at Payawan. After a rest of t w o hours we start again under the consolation that hence our road is a real autoroad, for work is actively pushed thru to make an autoroad between Bagabag and Kiangan. In fact the road we came over may be called an autoroad. Two years ago an auto passed over it on its way to Kiangan where in fact it arrived without accident and made a record ..... yes, a record of economy in gasoline. Never again shall an auto run between Bagabag and Kiangan no such an insignificant quantity of gasoline as that pioneer auto, the first to make its appearance in the lfugao country. It ran on a very special device, long ago invented in the Philippines but used only in cases of great emergency. If the device had been used from the starting point, it would have run from Bagabag to Kiangan without a singe drop of the precious fuel.. ... and the device? ..... Carabaos. Yes, carabaos had to pull the king of speed on earth ..... . it looks quite a contradiction, but it was a fact. At 5 p.m. we arrive at Bagabag. After a journey of 40 Kilometers on horseback, we hope to take a well deserved rest. But we had counted without the enthusiasm of the inhabitants of the town. Father De Gryse, pastor of the place, since more than a month absent on .account of sickness or rather weakness and exhaustion, was with us, glad to be home again among his parishioners. In no time the tmvn surrounded and filled up the convent. They should offer their pastor a feast. We protest; we are tired and need rest. Our arguments are of no avail. And.how could they? They could not everi be heard; the convent was so crowded that Father Moerman and I myself were forced to retire to some hidden corner from where we could observe all the love of the old and young for "Arna Aquiles" (Father Achilles). All and each one of the hundreds had to see the father from near. All had to say and ask something. A thousand times they said and repeated they were very glad to see him back and .... stout. After awhile the "Children of Mary'' disappeared mysteriously. We saw them carry away the chairs of the house. We heard a noise of tables and benches under us. Later we saw some of them steal away thru the darkness and come back with lamps. What had they done? At 9 p.m. they invited Arna Aquiles to come down in the room where catechism is taught. \Vhat could the good shepherd do but obey and we but follow? The room was nicely adorned and brilliantly lighted. Now followed a long and artistic program, that only ~he inhabitants of Bagabag in the whole province can render. It was 11 p.m. when everybody went home happy and satisfied and we partook gladly of these feelings in expectation of the desired rest. But here came the brass band ..... . djing-boung ......... a concert began which lasted ...... ! can not say how long ..... for I was too tired and preferred swe<'!"t dreams to harmonious music. Since my last visit Bagabag's convent and church have changed much for the better. Formerly during the rainy season the Father had to give up his leaky convent and live in a house he rented. But now both convent and church are under an iron roof, thanks to the generosity of some benefactors. If the same or others could only help him now to repair what rains for years have destroyed inside, and to buy some furniture, the church of Bagabag would be one of the nicest of the whole diocese of Tuguegarao. But I have to visit Santiago in the province of lsabela, where one of our Fathers lives. An auto comes on. I run all I can. "Stop! A ticket for Santiago please!" "\Ve go only to the river". " But is this not a car of the autoline between ueva Vizcaya and Isabela". "'Indeed Father."-"And you run this line with regular cars on schedule, don't you"?-"Certainly, but the other truck is broken somewhere in Isabela."-"And when do you send a car to Isabela?"-"We do not know." Patience; well, I had been told that to go from Bagabag to Santiago one had only to whistle and lots of autos were ready to go to Isabela at any time. The next day however I had a chance of finding one of these regular cars. We crossed the river 135 without accident and had a pleas. ant ride where formerly we suffered a purgatory on horseback. We reached the top of a mountain. Allright so far, but all of a sudden and I do not know how, the bus had her frontwheels in the muddy ditch. Patience! There were no houses in sight and no instruments at hand. Eeach effort of the machine to get out brought her wheels deeper and deeper in the sticky mud. To try our patience further, a heavy rain soaked those who were watching the efforts of the drivers. Patience! And w hi 1 e practicing to my best this angelic virtue I admired it in the drivers: pebble by pebble they 'filled up the gap under the sunken wheels and after two hours we started again and off for Santiago. We pass San Luis where N ueva Vizcaya and Isabela meet and exchange their products: rice, tobacco, etc. We see Cordon, once a flourishing mission in the Spanish time and now! Four half burned posts indicate the place where the former chapel stood and near these ruins figures a modest little chapel of the Catholic mission of Santiago, while farther the big Aglipayano chapel falls in ruins as an emblem of the fall of the religion itself at this place. Blinded by the patriotic appeal of the Aglipayans, the inhabitants have followed the Church called "I n de p end en t Church" but their eyes have opened, they have seen that if the 136 Aglipayans imitated the Catholic ceremonies, they lacked the true faith of salvation and now: they come back to the true flock. The road between Cordon and Santiago is now a long street with houses on both sides where formerly only a few were seen. They are inhabited by llocano immigrants who arrived here these last years and have changed the waste land around into endless ricefields. May God bless their activity. At 2 p.m. we arrived at the convent of Santiago. Father Bamps is the pastor. His mission was started long ago by Spanish Dominican missionaries who had nearly finished one of the nicest stone churches of Luzon when the revolution broke out which forced the Missionaries to leave the place and so it remained without a priest for years until finally one of our Fathers undertook to build up again the material and spiritual ruins of the town. He lived in nothing else but a shack. His church was not well enough even for a stable. But Father Waffelaert was not the man to remain idle. First he covered part of the stone walls of the unfinished church and had a nice big church. After this, but only after years of the poorest life and God knows how many sacrifices, Father Bamps, his successor, built a small house for himself. From Santiago he visits regularly the old mission of Oscaris where the old convent shall before long be a perfect wreck if we do not receive the means of repairing it. Monday, February 9. It happens that a truck passes. I do not like to play with chances and take that bus to return to Bagabag. Tuesday, Feb. 10. Today we go to Solano. Time seems long when one has to wait, but when one \Yaits a whole day for a truck as I do, time seems long an eternity. When I had given up all hope of a chance for an auto, and when the sun had, as my hope, disappeared, there sounded a horn .... a bus had arrived for Solano. \Ve pass the barrio of Tuao with its nice chapel built thanks to the help of the Propagation of Faith of Boston. Since the chapel has been erected at Tuao, a complete revival of faith \ms observed amongst th e inhabitants. \\'hat blessings must this chapel bring upon the family who donated it. Solano. I feel a lump in my throat whenever I look at the ruins of a church and convent built under the Spanish regime. If only the flames which destroyed the roof had annihilated these massive walls. But no, here they stand as an emblem of the greater ruin of faith and religion among the inhabitants of the nicest town of N ueva Vizcaya. When you arrived here 17 years ago, you found no house for yourself and only a kind of a stable in grass and bamboo for God. We built a house for the priest and a provisional church and the people little by little are coming back to the Catholic Church. Near the Catholic Church stands the chapel of the Aglipayans. Yes, until recently the sect dominated the ·town , but lately as their chapel so does their prestige wane. At the· last elections t h e so ca 11 e d Aglipayan priests figured prominently on the long list of candidates. This has opened the eyes of a good many who now say: "now we have seen that in the Aglipayan church there is no question of religion and salvation of the soul. but much of politi<;s. Only one Church stands fi rm and unchanged: the Catholic Church in which we were born and baptized; so let us henceforth live and die Catholics". If we had only the means to build -a real church in Solano, the town would soon return to the true Faith. Wednesday, Feb. 11. No doubt Pope's Gift to Leper Hospital The princely sum of 50,000 .fra.ncs has recently been serit by Pope Pius XL to as:oist the work of the Leper Hospital at Sheklung, South China. The hospital, which cares for 800 suffe rers from the dread disease, usually recein•s a small allowance per ·patient from the Canton Gornrnment; but owing to the present disturbed condition of Canton, the au thorities ham not found it possible to pay their cont ribution. The hospita 1 suffered seriously in consequence. and the Holy Father's generosity has come at a t ime when it was sorely needed. ( A us~ralian Far E ast) 137 many autos pass thru this province, but in reality we do not see any today : thus we look for another kind of conveyance : a carromata. We find that carriage and we find even a horse to draw it, but we can not detect an able driver. There is no other remedy: the sacristan will drive, he knows how to hold the reins a n d to m a n a g e a whip. We are gone for Bayombong, 5 Kilometers from Solano. Thanks to God we arrive safely, for the road is wide and we do not meet any auto or carromata ..... .. a chance without which we might have lost our life. That dangerous expedition, style wigwag, at angles of 45 degrees, lasted 45 minutes over a road of 5 Kilometers, of which the driver made three fo~rths on foot and one fourth as a real driver. (T o /Je conti mieo .) Your Responsibility IJis Holiness Pius XI, said in speaking of the Missions: That ernn one soul should be lost on account of our tardiness. through our lack of gennosi ty: that eYen one Missionary should be obliged to halt because ht> lacks the mea ns which we may have refused him , is a grave responsibility of which . perhaps, we may not have thought in the course of our lives" . ( Australian Far East) ~ Life is a serious thing. It must not be a1lowed to eYaporate in a jest, but be a happy round of great duties and simple pleasures. - ·Canon Sheehan. · 138 Mission News and Notes 6ontoc. Father Van Overbergh on his way to Lubuagan from where he w ::1 start the new mission of Cabugao has to remain several weeks at Bontoc. The malaria he contracted during his stay with the Negritos, and of which he is suffering again a severe attack, and a sprained shoulder keep him in bed. ltogon. From a letter of Father Quintelier: My most sincere thanks to the benefactor who sent us thru your kindness a box of foodstuffs. They are most welcome, for here we do not often see meat and the like. I am badly in need of two sewing machines, but I should prefer footmachines to hand ones. The girls at school must learn to sew, otherwise how shall our people ever wear clothes? Kabayan has changed immensely for the better. Many at this place asked for baptism. If we had now only a priest t o take charge of this new promising mission! Lubuagan. F. Billiet writes: Everything O.K. in the mission except that I am in bed with a high fever as the consequence of my long journey thru the Apayao province, and the lower Kalinga country, but I am a little better. \Ve need many prayers. This country is completely pagan. Never before us passed a priest, was Holy Mass said nor a man baptized: the devil has always been in full possession of this country. In Apayao and lower Kalinga it seems to me that the people are better disposed. Is it the result of the missions of former times? I discovered the foundations of a church in the midst of a valley covered with high grass, near Gubgub. The annals of the Dominican Fathers called that place: San Jose de Tuga. Happily our people in Kalinga are anxious to become civilized and this is a· warrant of their highest civilization: that of their soul. Nueva Vizcaya. Last August the "Defensores de la Libertad" of the province held a feast at Bayombong. Besides the 300 members of the Bayombong society more than one hundred had come from t he other towns. \Vhat a sight, their civic procession thru the streets of the N ueva Vizcaya capital was. And what true happiness and joy reigned when the 400 members partook of a fraternal banquet at the convent. 900 members joined this mu tu a I help league. Catholics stick together, organize: union is strength. 139 The Psvchologv of the Filipino By Hon.

The name is applied to said cloth, possibly, because the tlancers of the kundiman used to wear such red cloth, especially as trousers, as we can notice up to the present ti me, among The air of the habanera is from Habana, Cuba, as the name itself indicates. This was a very popular rhythm during the Spanish regime. Filipino music, as many obserYe, is languid in its modulations, so some laborers in the Tagalog proYinces. As to the word kumintag. this .ir< a name gi Yen to a weed w hieh grows in some regions of this country, the corola of the ociorless flowers of which is rosaceous in color. Formerly, this name was given to a certain region in Batangas, and for this reason, the early Spanish historians called the people from such region cumintas, to distinguish them from the Balayans, the nati ,-es of Balayan. The kundiman is a melody whieh has many variations, and some of these variations haYe adopted the habanera time, as the one which the orchestra will now play: much so, that even in war and epic songs, the characteristic plainti\·e air is readily noticed, as in this war march called Estiharo, well known among the people of Misamis, Mindanaw. You will hear it from the orchestra: Moderato n~ s I ry i n I dJ ctr Id gJ JI :r r r r I l dJ dJ I J ,rt J s I :r r r r I tit J J J I ,J z ft i,J s I 'tip dJ I £b Ji IJ,*J: I l" llJ I 3 3 ""'1 I J 1 J J J J I ,J ,+J s Is A) I fflJJJ Q ljs II~ . 3 3 .._, 141 XorE.

It must be noted that the title of the song, and its words are in Spanish. It is because the local tongue in Sam boanga in the last years of the Spanish rule was practically Spanish, due to the close contact of the natives there, with the Spanish soldier;;;, Samboanga being then a military station. The Spanish spoken in Samboanga is a mixture of old Spanish with the native dialect, like that used before, in Ermita (Manila), Paco (Manila), and Kabite. But in the farthest ends of the Archipelago, we find a special kind of music ad libitum. The following is a melody from the Batanes islands, called Kalusan: ~ bi hlt-i~ h h· ti ni: 12 '® Jrzl rJ'ri. rffJ 'JJ.

This word balitaw must have the same origin as the Tag:;log balita, thas is, derived from the Malay berita or brita, which means news, novelty, rumor, narration. In the Leytz-Samar Bisayan, the word balitaw has lost its direct original meaning, and is now only used as an exclamation meaning literally a story, or really, is it so? The balitaw is widely extended in the IJisayan Islands, having reached the Bikolan and Tagalog regions. It is difficult, to choose a typical balitaw among its varied and diverse forms. I shall pick one at random, the one frequently heard in Cebu, where it must have originated, although it. is also common in the Islands of Bohol.

P.l . (Continuation) APRIL 29th (Tuesday): I did not yet know how far I could rely on Asi 's prnmises, but it was very probable, though, that nobody had arrived because ttiis nwrning l\1r. Padua met a :\"egrita from the other side of the riYer, the wife of Bugayong, and she said there were no N egritM there at present. ·_ This morning Mr. Padua went to ~ agan to ask the teacher to give our mail to one of the children of our neighbors, if there were any; we were afraid he would not know our n<.trnes and so would return our letters to Kabugaw. All these precautions, however, proved superfluous, as I did not receive a single letter during my whole stay in Apayaw. _ As no ..\1asigun appeared I sent an Isneg to the other side of the river, to invite Masigun's son or an,Y other Negrito to take me to his house. About 11 a .m. the little Herudis came with his small bow and arrows, after having taken some dinner (which by the w;;,y was an important event, be~use the teacher at Na:gan had given i\lr. Padua a tin of sardines, a real treat for starving people), Herudis and I started on our way to Futtul, where was, they pretended, ..\1asigun's house. \Ve forded the river in front of us, and after a walk of some minutes, I lost the heel of my ehoes: this was only the beginning of my many misfortunes on that eventful trip. For about three hours we walked either over river pebbles and gravel, or through tickets of bamboo grass with its sharpedged leaves; now and then we waded through muddy pools or shallow branches of the AbuJug. In front of Futtul we had to cross the river again; this time the water reached up to my breast: a very dangerous experiment, in - deed, and I was already pondering if, on the return trip, there would be no other means of crnssing t.he water. \\re then walked through a real cave of arched bamboo grass, where my guide stepped through erect like a spear, while I had to go with head and shoulders bowed downwards as far as possible. Finally we arrived at the identical huts of which we took a picture last Saturday, and one of which was or had been Masigun's; but nobody was at home, and what was worse, the huts were totally abandoned. What could we do? H erudis entered the forest with the hope of meeting his father, as he thought he saw their dog corning 146 ont of it; and I, in the meanwhile, washed my feet and drit>d my stockings. After some waiting the child emerged from the forest and told 111e there was nobody around. After some deliberation, we came to the My shoes being in a pitiable condition, I walked barefoot for a time, but sand and stones were like burning coals, and I had to put on my shoes again, which would make them useless without repair. \.Ve A N egrito Sharpshooter condusion that there was nothing to be done hut to go back, the more so as the weather threatened rain ominously. now took an easier route to the river, but on arriving there and looking at the water, we thought that it. had swollen, and really, after having ionled about four fifths of it, we had to r3trace our steps disappointed, as the 1rn,ter already reached up to my mouth, and \\"e were still going dowtJ, and not one of us r·ould swim; e\·en the eurrent was stronger than a couple of hours ago, as it had rained copiously farther up in the mountains. Having reached the shore again, \\"e took shelter in a Negrito hut, as rain seemed Yery imminent, and I tried to light a cigar, hut. tobacco and matches were soaked, so, patience! After a while Herudis propose<l to go and look for his father, and I agreed. He laid down his bow and arrows in the hut and started on his search. I learned later that, after having wandered for some time, he had met a couple of Ilokanos, that all of them had come to the hut where we took shelter, and that, in not finding me, they had been greatly disappointed, and the little boy had shed bitter tears; when leaving the hut, however, they had met some Negritos who had seen me cross the river, and so their anxiety had been changed into joy. In the meantime, the municipal treasurer of Tawit had passed down the river in his boat and I had asked him to help me to the other side: th is was the reason why Herudis and the Ilokanos had not found me at the hut, as I was already a long way on my return trip to Siwan. One might think it was a heartless thing for me to do to abandon the Negrito child, but one must remember that the boy would have no difficul147 ty in finding his '"ay and, beside!', that he was ac·eu:::tomed to Ji,·e and sleep i11 the open air, whic·h \Yas not entirely the cm•e with my poor self. That trip to Siwan will renrnin famous. Relying nn my k ncm ledge of the road a11cl ri\·er I expected to be at home in :.t short time, but 1rns doomed to disappointment. After haYing ""rn<lered for about half an hour, I came to a ('ertain plal'e wl.ich I recoirnized a;.; one we had pas8ed a few hours ago, and even saw my foo1p1int8 in tl·e mud, so thne rnr Id 1 e i:n miFt: ke. Full of collfidence, l e111fnd 1he tickt t ( f bamboo grnss, and after 1yaJki11g some thirty yards, I f1rnn<l ~::yst>lf i_ n a small clearing 1Yithuut any outlet. F'eeling sure of the direr· tion though, I fon!!ht my 1Yay through the gra~s, to the detrime11t of my legs and feet, as 1 had not put on my stoekings.a11d my shoes were praetically usele~s. Finally, after a terrible struggle IYith the leaves whos1~ edges were as sharp as razors, a struggle where I was evidently the loser, I came out :rnd walked along the shore, priding my- • self on the exactness of my progno· stications. I walked for about a quarter of an hour, when to my ut· ter amazement, I found myself b<'-ck again at the exact place I had · recogmzed a while ago by my footprints in the mud. This was too much. Then it dawned upon me that I must have followed a branch of the river without current, and that this waR the occasion of my 148 mistake: and, indeed, I had bf'en stupid enongh not to notice the absence of a current, and so could not have observed the direction of the ~tream; if I had made the smallest u;;e of my pnwers of observation, I should have looked at the water, and should have seen that this could not be the Abulug, which had very of1 ,en a swift current, and I should have been on my guard for the direction I had to follow. ci pi tously : he re the river was very deep in places, and its erosi,-e current hncl formed several caves on the bank. Here dead branches, grass and other refuse were gathered together, a fine "heltn for crocodiles. Ha,·i ng learned that these animals usually run a 1yay when t hey hear a noise, I took the pn~ caution 1Y heneyer 1 had to pass these caY es, to splash the 'nter and stir the deposits with a Jong stick before Rev. Father Van Overbergh .taking a rest near the ruins of a N egrito castle Now I firmly decided not to leave the bank of the ri ,-er any more, as, in this way, if I continued going up along the Abulug, I should certainarri,·e at home. This was very easy as long as the shore was flat and covered only with boulders or low grass, but it was something quite different when the bank was very high and overhung the water preventuring in my precious self. And RO, after much anxiety and. i ndescribable exhaustion, I came back home, wet and dirty, without stockings and with soleless shoes. What had I found out worth the while about our little people? Practically nothing; still, [ thought at the moment that the trip might perhaps be an occasion of more intirnacy with the Xegritos; and really so it proYed to be, as will be made clear by the rnccession of e\·entc:. In the e\·ening a man from Abulug came to visit us: he reasured us about the Negritos, and said that many were coming this way, and that l\fasigun could be relied upon. He also said that he had heard about my presence here, when still at Abu! ug, and that some Christians had frightened the Negritos, tellir,g them I should take then1 to Kabugaw or nrnke them work without salary to repair the church at Futtul: and so they consistently fooled these poor little men, but this time at least they would find ont the truth and know that I was not only an innocent person, but a Yery good friend to them. Later on some school d1ildren, Is neg from X agan, came to see us; they sang school songs and chatted more than I cared to hear. l\Ir. Padua had not indigestion this time, as he stayed at home a 11 day, so he could afford to spend a part of the e\·ening talking. After some time, I laid down, as I was in need of rest, and this wa.,: a signal for everybody to leave. Good night. APRIL 30th (Wednesday): Our Kagayan, the one we found here at the beginning, came back: he brought us meat of a wild boar with l\Iasigun's compliments. The news that Masigun was here revived my spirits, and I told the Kagayan to invite the Negrito and his son to our house as soon as possible, and 149 to tell them that I had rice for them. The rice I had promised Herudis as his wages for se1Ti ng me as a guide, I took away yesterday; so I found myself bound in conscience to pay t:1e fellow. This served as a bait to attract him here. After an impatient delay, I saw with great satisfaction all the Negritos of the neighborhood coming hither: l\Iasigun and Bugayong with their respectiYe families. As we had good prO\·ision of meat now, I invitee! them to have lunch 1Yith us on condition that they helped with the cooking. I hoped by this means to keep them here and get all possible information about our Ii ttle people. I had, indeed, a long chat with Masigun, which was only interrnpted now and then by another Kegrito and once by a short visit of the man from Abulug, who promptly saw h3 was not welcome. I leanwd a great deal to-day about our little people, took lots of pictures, and felt myself richly recompensed for the hardships of yesterday. l\fa~igun also announced the arrival of a whole party of Negrito worshipers withi'n three days. This confirmed AE>i's former statement, and the hint gi rnn by the man from Abulug. Let us hope the prediction will be fulfilled. Before taking our meal, l\Iasigun sent Herudis to fetch some coconuts for us t0 drink the milk. Long ago he had fixed his hut here, he said, and planted some coconut trees; although they had been abandoned for a very long time, he still retain150 ed the O\Ynership of the same, a nd so was able to offer us a drink. The meal was a sight worth seeing, our whole house was filled with little black guests. After lunch , the girls wa ;hed the dishes (}Ir. Padua's saucers and a fe"· othe1:s borrowed from the Isneg), and very soon the whole company left : they forded the river and soon reached home on· the opposite shore. In the afternoon we recei,·ed the visit of Mr. Manuel Llaiio, the consejal of Futtul, and Mr. Francisco Llameg, the teuiente of l\Jalunog : they were on their way to Tawit, where they expected t0 meet the provincial governor, D. Joaqui1, Room for One More " I never go to church," said the aggressh·e politi<'ian to the quiet little priest as they sat on the deck of the mail steamer. '·"Would you like to know why?'""It might be interesting," answered Father Tom.- "Well I'll tell why. There are so many hypocrites there"."Oh you need't let that keep you away,'' said Father Tom with a smile, "There is always room for one more." Getting Directions It was a dark night. A man was riding a bicycle with no lamp. He came to a crossroad and did not know which way to turn. Through the gloom he saw a sign on a post. He felt in his pocket for a match. He found one. Climbing to the top of the pole, he lit the march carefully and in the ensuing glimmer read: "Keep off the pole. Wet paint." Luna. A little later, Mr. Padua invited Kuliana, ~Iasigu n's daughter, to come with her companions to wm:h an cl cook for us; they \\'ere ''ery willing on condition that they wen t hom e for the nigh t. It was this sam e Kuliana who washed our clothes on the first day of our arriYal at Siwa n.

Before long Peking will have a Catholic University under the direction of American Benedictine Fathers. It is greatly due to a Chinese Catholic Mr. Tang-Lien-Tche. In 1917 he sent an extensivereport about the necessity of a Catholic University in Peking to H.H. Benedict XV. Msgr. de Guebriant studied the project on his visit to Peking. The Propagation asked the American Benerlictine Fathers to establish said University. The archabbot of St. Vincent Pa. accepted the offer and in 1925 bought for $500,000 the palace of a Manchurian prince to be used as the Peki1~g Catholic University with five faculties, 1. of theology and philosophy, 2. of Chin es e a n d European languages, 3. of natural sciences, 4. of social sciences and history, 5. of explotation of mines with a school for engineers. Costa Rica. The President of the Costa Rica Republic decreed the following to become effective on the first of July last: 1. The children of the primary 151 schools and school!' annexed to the colleges are to be exempted from compulsory subjects prescribed by the rule on Saturdays between 11 in the morning and 2 p. m. in order to receive religious instruction during these hours. 2. The bishop of the diocese is to be encouraged to regulate this instruction and appoint the teachers who are to take charge of it payfrg them the necessary remtmen:tion anrl making use of the school buildings and facilities with the agreement of the school boards. From the appropriation of the ministry of public worship there is to be paid to the order of the bishop, as the work is organized, a. sum not exceeding Pi ,ooo per month. Well done, President: it is better to pay one thousand pesos a month to educate people in the fear of God and the law than to have to spend more to punish the offenders of the law, who ignore God. England. This summer Lord Halifax and other prominent members of the Church of England held again con152 ferences with Cardinal Mercier of Belgium to find the way of uniting the English Church with the Catholic Church. Last July Lord Halifax in the Albert Hall proposed before the so called Anglo-Catholics in their annual congress the Anglican recognition of the Pope of Rome and nobody challenged the proposition The meeting began with the Our Father, the Hail Mary and a De Profundis for the souls of two Anglican Bishops not 1011g dead. After that there was a hymn to Our Lady, sung to a Catholic tune. Unhappily Lord Halifax a great leader of the Anglican Church does not seem to understand-quite well what the recognition of the Pope means, for he would respect the authority of the See of Canterbury and leave the Anglican Church its liturgy and its Bible. Nevertheless and in the meantime these co:1versations with Cardinal Mercier and the propositio:1s of Lord Halifax may open the way of complete submission of the Church of England to the Catholic Church of _ which the first was separated four centuries ago. Holland. At the last elections the Catholic party remained the strongest >vith 31 representatives against 24 socialists and others of different parties of which some support the Catholic program. Ne,·er in the history of Holland before r918 was the President of the Ministry a Catholic. Yet it has been a fact since seven years. Moreover two of the Prime Minister's colleagues in the ministry and the presidencs of both Chambers are Catholics. A priest, had it not been for his great disinterestedness, might even be goYerning now : for it was to Monsenor Nolens that the Queen entrusted the task of forming the Cabinet in 1918. Instead of placing himself at the head of the Government, he kept altogether out of the Ministry of his formation. f ranciscan Expansion.

The retention of the Philippine~ was urged by ReprPsentaliYe Underhill, Republican of )! a~,;aehuset ts. in a conference between President Coolidge and national leg·islators. on August first. Underhill defended this policy with the statement that the Philipnines are a source of rubber supply ~hat would not be subject to British or other foreign domination. but to the U. S. alone. As England dominates t be rubber rrodn('it,g countries of the world and furnishes thus about three fourths of !!TO\l'n rubbet'. the U. S. buys nearly all her rubber from Engl and (18.:i.000 tons a year of which only 10,0CO come from Brazil.) In this connection it is well to consider the debt business tricl-: England played on Lhe C. S. with regard to rubber and her debts. The 1>hole world was surprised when England proposed to pay her debts to the U. S. by installments of $160,000,000 a year until th~ whole debt of $.J.,600,000,000 would be liquidated. With this unexpected financial morn, England re-established her credit all OYer the world and returned to the gold standard. But here lies the trick. At the time of this financial arrangement, rubber was worth 17 cents per pound. In a short time it rose to 60cents per pound, thanks to export taxes imposed by England on the rubber from her colonies. And the C. S. who paid only $185,000,0UO for her rubber bill the year before, had last year to pay $400, C00,000. In other words, by raising the price of rubber, England pays her debt and is million~ ahead eYery year. The rubber consumer pays the English bill. But the U.S. will see by herself that she geLs her own rubber from elsewhere and independently of any other nation. Hence the proposition of Mr. Underhill about the Philippines. Dry Law in the Philippines. An antiliquor lobby in Lhe C. S. may agitate lbe next congressional session to force tile prohibition upon the Philippines. Their reas011s are that the prohibition law must follow the flag- (even when the flag is not bound to rem a in?). that American officers take sometimes a drink at the A rrny and .N'avy Club Manila (and what, if this does not interfere with thefr duties?). that an American officer murdered an innocent young girl after a feast in the above mentioned club (but it happened that be did not attend that. feast ..... so what then?), but they do not mention that the Filipinos are among the most sober people in the world. Governo~ General Wood, who seems to understand and to know the conditions and necessities of the Filipino people better than a few fanatic quakers who wish to curtail the private liberty of all for the abuse of a few, and the Legislative leaders of the Philippines more interested in the well-being of their country 154 than some dry Methodists at the head of the drv mO\'ement. declared em phatically tl;eir opposition to the Yolstead law and the uselessness even of further regulations about the sale of liquor.

The boycott of the Chinese against Japanese has been lifted up to continue only against England. This had for result that this last month the J apanese imported more into China than the English. A consequence of this in the near future may be that a Japanese be appointed as Director of the foreign commission in charge of the custom duties in China , for in past treaties it was stipulated that the Director of said Commission must be from the country which imported most into China.

For nearly half a century Peru and Chile have disputed about the proYince of Tara ta between both countries. Finally they decided to submit the dispute to arbritation. President Coolidge chosen arbitrator gave bis decision in favor of Peru, but added that a plebiscite should be held in some parts of the di~puted province to choose between· Chilean and Peruvian jurisdiction. So should all nations in dispute settle their differences and not by force of arms. Turkey. Turkey is ready to declare war against England, should the Leag-ue of nations turn over the Turkish Mosul region to England. In fact Turkey bas al ready concentrated i0,000 soldiers on the Arak frontier to defend her right upon t his country where the E nglish seek petroleum. In the meant ime the old great butcher deports numbers of Christians from Angora (8,000) and kills others by the scores. United States and 6elgium. The American debt Commission agreed to allow Belgium to pay back to the Gaited States $171,000,000, loaned during the war, over a period of 62 years without interest. $246,000,000 loaned after the war, are to be paid back ornr a period of 62 years at an interest of three and a half per cent after the first ten years. France seeks the same conditions to pay her debt to the United States. Although this agreement was welcome in Belgium, it was nevertheless criticised because Belgium signed the treaty of Versailles after President Wilson had expressed a promise of remitting all Belgian debts to the United States, proYided Legislature approYed it. 156 ( ~ ~ QUESTION BOX tS?.'2?; - tS?.'2?; Questions unsiirned will not be answered. Anonymous l!'tters mu ·t find their way into the waste paper basket. "·e will not publish the names of those who send uuestions. Please explain these two questions about the Sabbath. 9.-W!wt 1carrant have yo1tfor keeping holy the Sttn•lay preferably to the ancient Sabbath, which 1cas the Satm·day'! Hewe yoit any other than the atttlwrity of the Church which has a 1·ight ancl power to institute festivals? The ceventh clciy Adventists say we must keep Saturday holy. A ns.- Is the authorit~· of the Catholic Church not a sufficient warrant for sanctifying the Sunday instead of the Saturday? Jesus Christ Himself says to Her (to the Apostles: the A uthority of the Church He established): ·'Who hears you, hears Me and who despises you despises )fe'', and further: '·A 11 power has been gi Yen M.e on earth a ud in hea Yen. As the Father has sent me. so do I send you". Thus what the Church ordains God approYes and commands. The Church substituted Sunday for Saturday as the weekly holiday. in honor of the Resurrection of Christ which happened on a Sunday. The authority of t he Church given her by Christ is more than sufficient to admit Her right to make this substitution. The SeYenth day AdYentists pretend that as in the old Testament the true Church of God must sanctify Lhe Saturday. If on the sole Authority of the Old Testament which thy pretend to follow, they urge still the sanctification of the Saturday, let them too follow the other precepts of the Old Testament such as that of not ea Ling pork. of the circumcision etc. (which they do not). Who are those Adwntists? They are a religious sect organized in 1845, who number about 62,000 people. The Catholic Church was instituted by Christ Himself as History proves, and numbers 300,000,000 members. If as the Adventists claim, the Catholic Church is wrong because she substituted Sunday for Saturday, where has the true Church of God been between the Ascension of Jesus and the coming of the Adventists? The Church of Christ had always to exist: "I will be with you until the end of the world" said Jesus to His Church. If one admits the .\.dventists' Church to be the true Church, then as there is an essential difference between their Church and the Catholic, the Church of Jesus must ha Ye disappeared after Re went to heaven, to be reestablished by Mfi'. White in 1845 the presumptuous interpreter of the Sernnth Day AdYentists. and even now only 62,000 people would be in possession of the true doctrine agains tthe 300.000,000 actual Catholics and all those who have belonged to the Church since the days of the Apostles, which is evidently an absurdity. Note: the other questions of your letter can be easily answered by anyone of your catholic companions who have a few notions about the Catholic Doctrine. 157 ftAILBAG Of THE LITTLE AtOITlE For all corre~pondence \\ith ''THE LITTLE APosrLE'' send your letters to Tlie Little ,.l]JOStle. Box 1J93. Jfonila Dear Readers of the "Little Apostle": The Association of tl!e C'n1~ adf'rs of the Little Flower is a complete succes:'. How could it be otherwise? I am sure the Little Flower watches her Association, and her nicest flowers from heaven must be for her Crusader ~fissionaries , yes, >Iissionaries as she was thru her help and pra~·ers and as you are who ham enlisted as a Crusader under the banner of the Little Flower for the conrnrsion of the Igorrotes of thf' Mountain ProYince. The other day a dead person was presented as a candidate for membership in the Association. Of course the dead himself did not send in his application ..... but one of his relatil'es. Of coursf' the dead can not join the Association, but their relati ,·es may enlist them that they may partake of the benefits of th<> Crusaders' society thru the prayers and masses offered for their departed. '·Can ME~ become members of the Association?" Don't laugh. This question was put before me by a wellmeaning- lady. Have men in religious associations in the Philippines become so rare that it seems to keen observers that there is no place for them in a religious association? Of course in the P hilippines as Plsewbere all over t he world, devotions attract more women than men. It should not be so. :\fen, too. have a soul to save. >fen, too, must do good. 'Thus: MEN are most \Yelcome into the Association of the Crusaders of the Little Flower and . as they have ordinarily le~s time and less inclination to pray than the sex. be sure that. if they pray, their petitions will arrive in hea ,·en perhaps before those of tl!e gentle sex. And yet, that question: "Can MEX become Crusaders of the LiLtle Flower" rnts me thinking. Do you kno\v how most of the 11issionaries thought of their vocation and felt attracted to consecrate themi:elves to the conversion of Pagans? It was by reading magazines about the missions. So they learned of the gTeat good to be done in God's barren field: they under- , stood bow there was nobody in pagan countries ·'to break the bread to God's children": they desired to partake of the g1 eat rewards of God's Apostles and decided to become Missionaries. We complain in the Philippines about the scarcity of priests, who, seeing their hardships, may be called missionaries. But do our Catholic students hear and read of priests and missionaries? Are they taught to talcean interest in missions, conversions, apostleship etc. ? The '·Little Apostle" bas found 158 its way into many schools and colleges, but not 10% of the subscribers are MEN. Again not 10% of the Crusaders of the Little Flower are l\IEN. So, after all, the question from that observing lady had a serious foundation. There is no more space left herein to sound the almost innumerable praises of the nice diplomas sent to the enlii::ted Crusaders. What says more about them than letters is the fact that as soon as these diplomas were ready and sent to the newly enlisted Crusaders, applications simply poured in for membership. The diploma is the work of a Filipino artist. Everv family in t he Philippines should hay~ it framed in their homes as a proof of Filipino art and at the same time as a testimony that Catholics are only too anxious ta co-operate with the Missionaries in the conversion of their brethren in the Mountain Province. As a conclusion taken from the ingenious question: "Can MEN become Crusaders'', let me add here a practical advice. Lad ies: inYite your brothers to subscribe to the "Little Apostle" and as soon as they read of the missions they will naturally ask to become Crusaders. Or may be you would prefer to do this: to ask 1 .hem first to become Crusaders so as to invite them later to subscribe to the "Little A postle", the organ of the Association. 1 have a little surprise in store: to each one of thejirstjifty Promoters who send in their list of ten Crusaders during the month of October: the ·'Little Apostle" will send a nice frory C1:oss adornecl u;ith jtou·ers, as a remembrance and reward. Does this appe~l to your heart and zeal? Beg-in today! T omorrow might be too late, for only the first fifty promoters will receirn the iYory Cross. Good bye. -:\I ay the Little Flower bless you all but especially those who work for her Association. Yours respectfully in X, Rev. 0. Vandewalle. CONTRIBUTIO~S RECF.IVED $5.PO from P. L. ?<. Y .

Modest Dressing Under the caption " Queen Wilhelmina and Fashion" the Osservatore Romano publishes the following from its correspondent at The Hague. "At a diplomatic reception I heard a lady who had but latelv arrived at The Hague ask an old-tirr{er about the usages as to attire at Queen Wilhelmina's court. "To please the Queen. was the answer, you must of all things eschew modern fashions, for Her i\f ajesty has no use for low-cut decollete and sleeveless gowns, and she positively abhors short skirts. And. therefore, ladies be they Dutch or foreign, if they are anxious to find favor with her and to win her esteem, must be careful not to appear at Court, not even for a ball, in gowns over-much a la mode. The Queen sets an example of sober dressing. Her toilette, though elegant, is at all time perfectly correct. Having by her own example and her broad hints introduced into Dutch societv circles an earnest bent and a taste for· propriety in women·s wearing apparel, she feels as it were offended whenever a foreign dame fails to con· form to these sane and modest habits of the land whose hospitality she enjoys. It is common report in The Hag-ue that the Queen has frequently requested foreign ladies not to spoil the tasteful and sane sense of modesty of the Holland people by over-freedom in dressing." 'L ' ~ -<>< - }~ it~1i• liJi!i"'1iii5j] HE Crusades were ten in nnmber. They were wars of the European Catholics against the Moors, who had taken possession of the Holy Land and <iesecratecl the Holy nlaces, where 0 .ir Lord had Ii \·ed and died for us. Between the fifth and sixth Crusade there was one which is not listed in history' yet it was the most striking of all. This was the Childre:1's Crusade of the year 1212. It was undertaken by 50 ooo children of France and Germany. A poor shepherd boy of France, Stephefl (his other name is unknown ) preached a holy war against the Moors of Palestine. He had seen thousands of 5oldiers pass when he tended his flocks, heard their talk of the Holy Land, and fired by their example, he invited his companions to rouse an army of boys to follow the Crusaders and fight for God too. Indeed many boys from France joined his group. 159 A German lad, Nicholas, hearing of the won<lerful troop that was forming in France. thought he could also gather an army. So he too invited his companions to go to Palestine, to fight for the defei:se of the Holy Places and if 1~eede<l to die as martyrs. In a very short time a great army of young boys was 011 its way to Genoa in Italy. Of course not all the lads had recei,·ed the permission of their parents, but quite the co:1trary. A number of grown people joined them. In vain those in authority tried to stop the movement: the world seemed to have gone crazy for the time. Many believed that God would bless the efforts of children by a miracle and that their Crusade was an inspiration from Heaven. Alas! it was not such an inspiration, and we, with our modern ideas, can not understand bow this movement could have been allowed 160 to grow to such an extent. Off the two bands started to meet each oth,~r at Genoa, there to embark for the Holy Land. Naturally the march of these undisciplined boys was one of terror rather than of trinmph. Numbers and numbers of the younger boys fell by the roadside, literally tired to death, and unable to go back to their mother. Many perished of hunger and thirst , for the little fuod they had carried alo~:g from home had soon been exhausted and there w.as no management, no provision for necessary things. Finally the G.erman boys, daunted and discouraged, turned back and sougth their homes, but many of them never saw them again. The French boys, though sadly reduced in numbers. managed to reach M.arseilles, from \vhich they set sail one beautifnl summer evening. They we;-e :ieyer see:1 or heard of afterwards. A terrible storm arose that same night; two of the seven vessels in whi::h they sailed were •necked and the bodies of the poor lads, thrown up on the island of San Pietro, told the sad tale. Of the others, there is little or nothing really known. l\fany years afterwards, a pilgrim appeared in Europe who claimed to have been O'.le of the young French Crnsaders. The tale he told was that the boys had been treacherously sold to Arab slave-dealers, that many of them had been put to death because they refused to become ~lohammedat~s and abandon their faith and the rest had died in prisons and chains. Their fate is a mystery to this clay. No one really knows the fate of these thousands of poor lads whose pitiful ' 'Crusade" is but a name. Of course, little Readers , this sad story . must not prevent yon from joining the '' Crusaders of the Little Flower". You are not asked to say farewell to yuur Mamma and to endure many hardships to go and fight the l\foors. All that yon are asked to do to become a Crusader is to send your name to the " Little Apostle" together witb P-0.50 for which you will recei,·e a nice diploma and a lovely pin of the Little Flower. But then, too, you must say e,·ery day one ''Our Father" and "Hail Mary" for the conversion of the Pagans of the Mountain Province and during the season eif Advent you will be asked to make some sacrifices with which to help the Missionaries of the ~fountain PrO\·ince. For all this: 30 masses shall be offered d1 tring the month of November for the departed Crusaders and their dead relatives and after your own death a mass shall be celebrated for your own soul. In the meantime all the Missionaries of the Mountain Province will pray for you every day at their mass. Does this entice you to become a Crusader?
