TO SPEAK SUNDAY

BY H1TLITV MAY IKWIX. Sunday rri'rnir!ir at th thre Tiasscs at St. l'atrlk'5 chumh and ft two mas at Joseph's. Ilv. J'rancla O'Rourke of Cork City, ireland, will give on lntc rr tir.-; account of the Catholic mission t:ehl in "western Africa.- II la thoroughly conversant with hi" s-ubject, h ivin. tpt-nt rarly tx years araonj; the jasran tribes cf Nlf-rla on tho tJuinea coast. Ho visil? Kouth Üerxl ns th representative of the African 2Ii.u!on society frfr:i a distant Isold, whero over 60 irl st and nun are Jiborlnt; with apostolic zeal In an r-rscure r-irt of the Lorrt'a vineyard. 1h field a.iifn'd to them extends ".vor 11,000 mLV.s a'nnir the n.ast und inland to tho heart the darkest region of "darkest Africa. " The mission fse-IJ In which Father O'Uourke has labored, hn a climato to deadly that the whole Guinea roast has teen Kivon tht- sinister ramp of tho "White Man's Grave." Tho minion field may bo described as a land of heat and -steam, cleric fort -ts of cotton treed and oil palms, muddy rivers and w.-iste of quaking fvwarnp. The shadow of the pestilence bangs heavily upn It and when forest and swamp are rolled up in a clammy fever-mit th missionaries either die or suffer from a variety t'f African maladies. m On tli (iulnca CVwt. Sixty years nn there was not a n rstlge of Christianity, not a church r school to be found in this j-cc-tion. Tho natives were savage or f end-savage, fiendish in their torture 'f one another, more rapacious than the beasts in tho forests, the flave loarkets flourished and men and women were hunted down like .animals. The sick and ned were thrown by their own people into the Jungles to starve and die. In hideous parody of the Sacrifice of Calvary. llis ata nie majesty had offered to him from Innumerable altars sacrifices of men. women and children. Man'ts Inhumanity to man was exhibited in a thousand ways. liut there has come a great change. All a-lont; the coast there nre churches and on their altars is offered a clean oblation, the Holy fcacrifce of tho masw. Over l.OCO.000 cf the natives have been Christianized. Speakin? of the progress Fr. O'ltourko stated "We have four vicariates apostolic governed by four bishops; four prefectures governed by fcur priests who have quasiop'scopal jurisdiction, over COO priests and nuns and several hundred catechlsts dr lay missionaries. Mainly through the labors of the rnembcrs of the African Mi.sskn ?ooiety human sarriilc s along the west coast of Africa have been prac

flonaries have botn eulogized and decorated by tho Kuropean governments fcr their ncrvicos in this rpard. Appalling conditions were faced by the first mi.vdonaries when they landed in Dahomey nearly three score years ago. Thousands of human beings were annually Immolated to Idols, cruelty and Inhumanity In all Its most fiendish lorms, slavery nnd degradation of the worst and lowest typ fetich warship of the mögt revolting; kind, were faced by tho valiant priests who came to fpread 'the gospel. The founder of the society and his four companions lived only ix we-ks after their arrival, ail failing victims to the lendly climatic conditions. From that memorable day in June. 1ST. D, hundreds of missionaries have fallen victims to tho climate., martyrs to their own charity and 7e.l after an average mission life of less than four years. But God has accepted their pufferlnc and their sacrifices and poured down His blessings upon tho work for which they cave their lives. As a result today. West Africa i dotted over with martyrs' graves nr.d with churches nnd missions that Jiav literally groTCTt above them. AlMance is celetl.

Prior to tho world war there was Frratifyinp support given them by European countries, but since the ercat conllict many of -the contributors have themselves been reduced in circumstances and unable longer to help the missions. Father O'Rourke spent some time in Ireland recuperating after his years of arduous mission work in Africa and is now touring the United States in order to secure ass-i.s tanc? for the African missions. He becan his labors in the diocese of Fort Wayne in April at the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception, since which time he has been heard in Huntington. Peru, Loansport.

SEEK COMMITMENT TO FEEBLE MINDED HOME

HOUSES AI HOMES. South Bend, May 27. Editor News-Times: Fpeaklnr of our houslnp problem, builders should rememhtr that it takes more than a house that 1 a shell, to inspire prldo essential to a real home. There Is a difference between a house and a home. A house may be purchased, but the elements that differentiate a house from a home are not on the market, they are not for barter and sale. That Intangible something that converts the houso into n home is supplied by the occupants and it does not depend on the cost of the structuro or its location. A hovel may be a real home while a palace maybe just a house. In the campaigns In which "own our own home" hes been urged, noth'ng is said about owning a house. Something vastly more desirable is the thought back of the movement. A house of some kind is the primary step in making a home, but it is Just the beginning. A rented house through long occupancy might in a measure partake of the nature of home, but home in the fullest sense is not only the one occupied but also owned. In such a possession thfcre is a security for the family that is not known by those who periodically flit from place to place at the whim of landlords cr themselves. Those who have never owned the spjt on which they have lived have missed one of the essentials, though everything else in a home has been enjoyed. There are circumstances in which it is desirable for one temporal ily to reside in rented property, and those who supply tho instrument meet a public need, but to delay unnecessarily acquiring one's own homo from which no landlord can warn is taking undue chances with fate. The home that one' owns is r.üt a house, but a castle which a.-, invader enters at his peril. Thn fhell of this ensile may be purchase J, but what the family supplies will distinguish it from others nnd make it the ,-etl home. II. A. P.

In a petition filed in the circuit court asking for the commitment of Andrew and William Haines to the home for the feeble-minded it is set forth that the maternal grandfather. William Bergcr. was Intemperate; the brother is idiotic, the mother died in the county jail while awaiting acceptance to Inpeliffo asylum and a brother is classed as a moron.

lUfiKATOKV WOUKEKS. Editor News-Times: Elkhart. Ind.. .May 21. The "hobos" have hern having a convention in Cleveland. Properly designated, according tj your paper, this is a meeting of the International Brotherhood Welfare Assoei.-it ion. The members may come into town ridl ti the brake beams or the sidedoor Pullmans, hut they are pot to be scoffed at, for they are distinguished fron the tramp, who ml crates but will not work, and the hum. who neither nirrrates nor works. They nrc migratory workers, following the mild weather from section to section of the conntr.y working in the south in the winter and following the birds and the crops northward In the spring. Among the subjects under discussio were the relation of the migratory worker to the labor problem, the restoration of the ballot to thos who have lost it for non-residential reasons, and diabilitj' and non-employment pensions. There is a vast army of these men, knights of the wandering foot but laborin? hand. If their association can raise their standards, secure them fairer working conditions and at the same time hold them in a body which can be mobilized for industrial needs, it becomes a matter of more than mirthful interest. Loral employment bureaus and labor exchanges, co-operating with such a body, could go far toward solving the problem of tho seasonal occupations in which It is difficult to Interest men of more ambition or more stable habits.
