"Yes, so I see. But crying without any real cause can only mean one thing: Nerves. You should try Sanatogen for a few weeks. It will brace you up wonderfully and once your nerves and blood are right you will feel yourself again-more disposed to laugh than to cry. And it will give you new appetite too, and bring colour to your cheeks. It has done that very thing for me.”

is an "Account of the (Jesuit) province of Japan, by an ardent Portuguese missioner, Fr. Cardim. The author left the East to be pro- curator in Rome of the great Portu guese missions. He was to return to the East again later and then his great "Batalhas da Companhia de Jesus" (1850) would be still more fervid in praise of Macao. But for the moment I am concern- ed with his first work. In it there is a passage on the trade of Macao and the spirit of its citizens which can hardly be read without think ing of Hong Kong and making com- parisons which let us admit-are hardly in favour of the modern Empire's outpost. "Macao," he writes, "is put together of very fair buildings and is rich by reason of the commerce and traffic that go on there by night and by day; it has noble and honourable citizena, in fine it is held in great renown through the whole Orient inasmuch as it is the store of all those goods of gold, silver, silk, pearls and other jewels, of all manner of drugs, apices and perfumes from China, Japan, Tonkin, Cochinchina, Siam, Cambodia, Macassa, Solor and above all for that it is the Head of Christendom in the East."

Notice the last passage. Trade was a big factor in Macao, it is the only factor in Hong Kong. The old Empires doubtless had their eye to business, but "above all" they claimed to be the bearers of the Gospel of Christ. It makes little diference to our present sub ject that they often fell woefully short of their ideal. At any rate, they had an idea!.

the Sacred Host...

«Macao'a Sao Paolo, Such is the setting, you must recall as you mount the broad- stepped approach to Macao's Sao Paolo. It is a Sacred Way and you are approaching an Arch of Triumph--the Capitol of the Mis- sions of the East is before you Even the ruin is symbolical. It speaks at once of a glory that is gone, of the spirit that inspired what was best in the great age of a great nation. And it is not, perhaps, without significance that the ruins of Sao Paolo should be ever present to the eyes of the citizen of Masso as he dreams of an empire that has vanished and seeka for the causes of its dis- appearance qu
