sent Him, and in chapter v, II. He
buvs. "How can ye believe which re

not. the honor that cometli from !o.l

that He went into (inlilce and Iniei
even to Nn.nroth (ns we Uuow lie did),
beenuse He sought honor only from
God and not from man, and came to ilu
the Father's will, whatever it might
be and wherever it might lend.

KNOX ADVISED THE COURSE.
Decided that Indian Bureau Could
Contract With Rellaious Schools.
Washington, Feb. 4. President
Hocsovolt's connection with tho diver-
hion of Indian trust funds to tho sup
port of Catholic mission schools is ex-
plaiuod and justified In a communica
tion addressed to the president by At
torney General Moody, which was
tiled with tho senate committee on In
dian affairs by William II. Kctcham,
director of the bureau of Catholic In
dian missions. Father Kctcham ap
peared before the committee to de
fend his bureau against tho charges
that it has been using undue and po
litical influences to secure the use of
trust funds for Catholic schools.
Mr. Moody's communication, dated
Feb. 2, 1905, sets forth tho record of
a cabinet meeting held in January,
1904, when the question of the use of
Indian funds for sectarian schools was
discussed, and tho president asked
for an opinion as to his authority to
direct that contracts be made for tho
iiho nf mwti f inula hv flonnminntlnnnl
use of such funds by denominational
educational institutions. Senator
Knox, then attorney general, decided
that the action of crongress In de
claring it to be the policy of tho gov
ernment not to permit tho use of tho
public moneys of the American people
for sectarian purposes did not repeal
previous laws giving to tho secretary
of the Interior discretion to use the
Indian funds in any manner ho saw fit.

and on this evidence Judge Lochren'a

A Tivw llr-uul.
A prominent missionary bishop of the
Episcopal church, according to tho
Washington Star, was in tho habit of
introducing among the Eskimos who
were his special charges ninny things
to nmiise or interest them in order that
he might gain their attention to ids
preaching. It happened, however, that
In spite of the various Ingenious inven
tions which he placed before them
these sons of the arctic regions contin
ued to bo impressed by Hie white man's
canned food more than by anything
else he brought with him. Heing un
willing to eat the blubber and drink
the oil of the Eskimos, the white man
always came with many cans of meat
anil vegetables.
