Md.. Dec. 24.-Word y^S^MJ*^ arrived at the Jesuit House Studies here that the annual ,'Christmas ship,\ laden with gifts -ijor the unfortunate dwellers on the guttle island of Culion. left Manila !\P early enough to reach the isle by \' Christmas. * Culion, which lies eouth of 2$* , , in the Philippines, holds the largest leper group in the world. Ita colon* iB 19 years old, and in that time it has received 16,000 lepers. At pres- ent It has 6,300. The \Campo^anto or \God's Acre.\ contains theTOOrfal remains of the rest. j* 5 Noble Work of Religious Culion has been called the \Isle of Lading Death.\ But devotion and sacrifice on the part of workers there have caused many of its suffers- to term It the \Gateway to Eternal Life.\ For Culion has its Damiens as well as Molokal. From the inception of the colony, two Jesuit Fathers, a lay Brother and a devoted band of Sisters of Pt Paul de Chartres have labored among Its unfortunates. There are now 10 Sisters, and one of them, who comes from France, has never left the Island -since she went there 19 years ago. Father Millan H. J . the superior, has been In the colony 10 years. That these religious have attain- ed remarkable results is written large In the history ot the Island. ReaaTnf the list: of ~Fhe dead, one finds besides almost every Filipino name the phrase \Con todos los Sacramentos.\ \with all the Bacra ments.\ Statistics show that between 85 and 90 per cent of the Filipinos die fortified with the Last Sacra ments, and that more than 50 per cent of the Moras and Chinese pa- gans are baptized before death. This despite the Bmall number of rellg iou8 workers. Fr. Millan's Devotion to Afflicted. Care of BOUIB is, of course, upper most In the minds of the religious. But they go beyond that. They work to hearten the sufferers and to fend off despair bred of the loathsome and fatal disease. Father Millan, in addi- f tlon to his spiritual duties, has charge of eight dormitories where 700 lepers, all of whom are destitute live. No regular occupation Is pos- sible, but those in the first stages of the disease must have some distrac- tion to ward off discouragement. The boys are taught weaving and other light trades. Games are organized Father Millan, who is an accomplish- ed musician, writes the music and words for entertainments on public occasions. He also has organized a band among the young men, which gives concerts once a week. The Sisters have direct charge of the girls' domitoriea. They instruct their charges in sewing and em broidery. With the status of govern- ment nurses, these women have shown the most heroic fortitude, to which all on the island attest. They •care for the sick in the eight hospit als, and despite the loathsome disease with which they are dealing, they are happy and always cheerful, even in the most distressing circum stances. It Is these devoted men and wom- en who will distribute the cargo of the \Christmas ship\ on the isle of Culion. Rochester, N. Y., Friday, January 1, 192$ [Right to Di Not Aft Voi By M.

American Bishop At Cor her-Stone Laying In Italy Naples, Dec 21.—The Right Reverend John Lawler, Bishop of Lead, S. D., attended the ceremony of laying the corner-stone of the new Italian-American Church of Mary, Star of the Sea, to be erected at Poslllppo, and imparted his solmn blessing to the new edifice. His Lord- ship is the first American Bishop to officiate at such a ceremony in this part of Italy. Other Americans pre- sent at the ceremony were the Rev. William McKeefry, of Martlnsburg. W. Va., and the Rev. L. B. Pastorelli, of Baltimore, Md. , The founder of the church is the Rev. Antonio Petlllo, well known in many parts of the United States. In his address. Bishop Lawler paid a warm tribute to the work of Fa- ther Petlllo, who has labored for thirty-three years away from his native land, founding ten churches in different parts of the United States. Although he spoke in English, the Btshop's kindly expression and accents of deep sincerity, coupled with expressive gestures, found an immediate response in his Italian audience, which applauded at length when his tribute to the past labors of Father Petlllo was translated for them. The address of the bishops was fol- lowed by a discourse by Father Petlllo who. after thanking the American bishop, spoke of the devo- tion which Italy has always prefessed toward the Great Mother ot God. \Devotion to Mary.\ said FT. Petlllo, \Is hereditary among our people and Is one of the greatest glories of Italy, and there Is scarcely a spot in Italy which has not received some particular token of Mary's love.\ \In devotion to Mary.\ he con- Life Of Fr. Kolping Prepared By Priest President Of Unions —•— •*«• » Cologne, rMc, 21—Father Theo- dore Huerth, president of the Catho- lic journeymen^ unions of Germany, has just published * biography of Father Adolph Kolping, the humble priest who founded the first of the unions, now scattered ail over the world, and whose beatification re- cently was proposed. The volume marks the sixtieth anniversary of the death of Father Kolping, and Father Huerjh states with regret that de- spite his great work, he is virtually unknown among Cathoics. A German delegation recently pro posed to the Holy Father.that .the founder of the unions be raised to the altars of the Church, and His Holiness encouraged the project. Father Kolping must not be an unknown among us\ writes Father Huerth . \We \may expect, now that St. Peter Canlsius, apostle of the schools, has been received among the saints, that with so many dangers threatening Catholic family life this apostle of the Catholic family also will be given the honor of the altars.

It brings back to him memories of home and child- hood and represents all the poetry of life.\ In keeping with the International character of the new shrine, the plans have been entrusted to a local architect, Mr. Nicola Spagnuolo, who has spent many years In the United States and Is familiar with Italo- American styles of architecture. The designs submitted by Mr. Spagnuolo were greatly admired by Bishop Law- ler.

Canon of the Cathedral of Naples, and his brother. Canon Giuseppe De Lalla. the Superior of the Salesian Fathers and many other priests and religious in addition to numerous civil authori tiesN Permission for the ceremony was given by Cardinal Ascalesl imme- diately after the arrival of Father Potillo with the American bishop and priests.

Mother Who Gave Six To Religious State Dies In Iowa Westphalia. Iowa, Dec. 22.—Mrs. Bertha Zimmerman who died here recently had the supreme happiness ot seeing six of her eleven children embrace the religious life, two sons entering the Society of Jesus in St Louts, and four daughters the com luunlty of the Franciscan Sisters in Milwaukee.

Inc., which publishes five Catholic weeklies, including the Catholic Bulletin, Cleveland, and the Lake Shore Visitors Brie, Pa. It was the modest boast of Mrs. Zimmerman that, besides her own six children who had entered the religious life, twenty-three of her immediate relatives have also left the world to enter the seminary or convent. At the funeral services which were held in St. Boniface church here her son Father Joseph Zimmerman sang the solemn Mass of Requiem, and an other son Mr. Bernard Zimmerman, assisted as subdeacon. The latter Is to be ordained next June. The Rev. William Klefman was deacon at the Requiem. The sermon was preached by the Rev. Michael Schiltz, director of Des Moines Catholic Charities and editor of Rural Life. A good mother in the home exerts a greater influence upon her children than the priest in the pulpit\.

Dec. 21.—Bishop Count Edouard O'Rourke has been asked by the Pope to undertake the care of the Russian emigrant children in Danzig md the neighboring German prov- nces.
