Excerpt from A Journey Around the World No one, however intelligent, could begin to tell the story of the countries and people referred to in this volume. This book sets forth the impressions made upon the author by the glimpses obtained in a journey around the world, and it must be remembered that im pressions can honestly differ among truthful, observing, studious travelers. This diary was written at the request of a loved one who was unable to accompany me, and with whom I thus hoped, in a small degree, to share my daily experiences, but with no thought of publication. Its publication is due far more to the encouraging suggestions of friends, than from any confident promptings of my own. The author claims no qualifications whatsoever as a writer, but endeavored at all times to keep his mind free from prejudices, and alert to everything about him, and espe cially endeavored to see the good in all things, but frank in his statements of facts as observed and noted herein. It was not, however, until we were bound for the Orient and had reached strange lands, inhabited by strange people, with strange customs, that I was aroused to any serious effort in the writing of a daily narrative in which I endeavored to reflect the conditions surrounding the writer, for examme: India, depressing; China, smiles; Korea, tragic; Japan, attractive but imperialistic.

Excerpt from A Journey With the Sun Around the World Time flies fast; much faster than we imagine until it has gone. We look down the pathway of the years over which we have traveled and are surprised to find how close together are the periods of childhood, boyhood, manhood and more mature years. I realized this when the silver jubilee of my priesthood dawned bright and beautiful on July 21, 1897. I will not stop to describe the tender greeting of the children of the parish, as with music, song and speech they tendered their good wishes. It was an event in their lives as well as in my own. and long will I treasure the remembrance of the little ones of the flock. The people of the parish, as after events unfolded, had quietly prepared a great surprise. I discovered this as with the bodyguard 1 entered the crowded church on the eve of my sacerdotal anniversary. The transformation which took place after the morning Mass of that day to the scene that opened to my view brought to mind the wonders related of Aladdin's magic lamp. On the spacious stage, covered with plants and flowers, were many of the tried and true veterans of the parish, a number of non-Catholic neighbors and more than a score of clerical friends. The hand-clapping and applause with which I was received was startling, being unexpected in the church, even though the Blessed Sacrament had been removed. The excellent literary and musical program was a credit and a crown to the entertainment provided by the Executive Committee.

Excerpt from Working My Way Around the World After spending some sixteen years in schools and colleges, I decided, one spring, to take a year off and make a trip around the world. I had no money for such a journey; but that did n't matter for I meant to work my way from place to place. I spoke F rench and German, and had some knowledge of Spanish and Italian. I believed that if I had to work among the people of foreign countries I would learn more of them and of their languages than in any other way. So I was not sorry that I had to start my journey with only my camera and one hundred and four dollars for films.

Excerpt from Tales of Travel, All Around the World It IS in response to many requests from friends and strangers who have read my Around the World letters published in the newspapers, that I write a book-that has induced me to issue this modest volume. Somebody has said that there is no story as enchanting as the story of a human life. I think there is much more information and interest in the story of a nation, with its millions of human lives, its history, achievements, customs, characteristics, and all its Varied and vast concerns.
