# Catholic Encyclopedia (1913)/Melchisedechians

From volume 10 of the work.
A branch of the Monarchians, founded by Theodotus the banker. (See MONARCHIANS.) Another quite distinct sect or party is refuted by Marcus Eremita, who seems to have been a disciple of St. John Chrysostom. His book Eis ton Melchisedek, or according to Photius "Against the Melchisedekites" (P.G., lxv, 1117), speaks of these new teachers as making Melchisedech an incarnation of the Logos. They were anathematized by the bishops, but would not cease to preach. They seem to have been otherwise orthodox. St. Jerome (Ep. 73) refutes an anonymous work which identified Melchisedech with the Holy Ghost. About A.D. 600, Timotheus, Presbyter of Constantinople, in his book De receptione Haereticorum (Cotelier, "Monumenta eccles. Graeca", III, 392; P.G., LXXXVI, 34) adds at the end of his list of heretics who need rebaptism the Melchisedechians, "now called Athingani" (Intangibles). They live in Phrygia, and are neither Hebrews nor Gentiles. They keep the Sabbath, but are not circumcised. They will not touch any man. If food is offered to them, they ask for it to be placed on the ground; then they come and take it. They give to others with the same precautions. Nothing more is known of this curious sect.
For the Monarchian Melchisedechians, the ancient authorities are PSEUDO-TERTULLIAN, Praescript., liii; PHILASTRIUS, Haer., lii; EPIPHANUS, Haer., lv; AUGUSTINE, Haer., xxxiv; PRAEDESTINATUS, Haer., xxxiv; THEODORET, Haer. Fab., II, vi. Also see KUNZE, Marcus Eremita (Leipzig, 1896); Idem in Realencycl. S.V. (See MONARCHIANS.)

# Catholic Encyclopedia (1913)/St. Ninian

From volume 11 of the work.
(NINIAS, NINUS, DINAN, RINGAN, RINGEN)
Bishop and confessor; date of birth unknown; died about 432; the first Apostle of Christianity in Scotland. The earliest account of him is in Bede (Hist. Eccles., III, 4): "the southern Picts received the true faith by the preaching of Bishop Ninias, a most reverend and holy man of the British nation, who bad been regularly instructed at Rome in the faith and mysteries of the truth; whose episcopal see, named after St. Martin the Bishop, and famous for a church dedicated to him (wherein Ninias himself and many other saints rest in the body), is now in the possession of the English nation. The place belongs to the province of the Bernicians and is commonly called the White House [Candida Casa], because he there built a church of stone, which was not usual amongst the Britons". The facts given in this passage form practically all we know of St. Ninian's life and work.
The most important later life, compiled in the twelfth century by St. Aelred, professes to give a detailed account founded on Bede and also on a "liber de vita et miraculis eius" (sc. Niniani) "barbarice scriptus", but the legendary element is largely evident. He states, however, that while engaged in building his church at Candida Casa, Ninian heard of the death of St. Martin and decided to dedicate the building to him. Now St. Martin died about 397, so that the mission of Ninian to the southern Picts must have begun towards the end of the fourth century. St. Ninian founded at Whithorn a monastery which became famous as a school of monasticism within a century of his death; his work among the southern Picts seems to have had but a short lived success. St. Patrick, in his epistle to Coroticus, terms the Picts apostates", and references to Ninian's converts having abandoned Christianity are found in Sts. Columba and Kentigern. The body of St. Ninian was buried in the church at Whithorn (Wigtownshire), but no relics are now known to exist. The "Clogrinny", or bell of St. Ringan, of very rough workmanship, is in the Antiquarian Museum at Edinburgh.

# Catholic Encyclopedia (1913)/St. Notburga

From volume 11 of the work.
Patroness of servants and peasants, b. c. 1265 at Rattenberg on the Inn; d. c. 16 September, 1313. She was cook in the family of Count Henry of Rothenburg, and used to give food to the poor. But Ottilia, her mistress, ordered her to feed the swine with whatever food was left. She, therefore, saved some of her own food, especially on Fridays, and brought it to the poor. One day, according to legend, her master met her, and commanded her to show him what she was carrying. She obeyed, but instead of the food he saw only shavings, and the wine he found to be vinegar. Hereupon Ottilia dismissed her, but soon fell dangerously ill, and Notburga remained to nurse her and prepared her for death.
Notburga then entered the service of a peasant in the town of Eben, on condition that she be permitted to go to church evenings before Sundays and festivals. One evening her master urged her to continue working in the field. Throwing her sickle into the air she said: "Let my sickle be judge between me and you," and the sickle remained suspended in the air. Meantime Count Henry of Rothenburg was visited with great reverses which he ascribed to the dismissal of Notburga. He engaged her again and thenceforth all went well in his household. Shortly before her death she told her master to place her corpse on a wagon drawn by two oxen, and to bury her wherever the oxen would stand still. The oxen drew the wagon to the chapel of St. Rupert near Eben, where she was buried. Her ancient cult was ratified on 27 March, 1862, and her feast is celebrated on 14 September. She is generally represented with an ear of corn, or flowers and a sickle in her hand; sometimes with a sickle suspended in the air.
Her legendary life was first compiled in Germany by GUARINONI, in 1646, Latin tr. ROSCHMANN in Acta SS., September, IV, 717-725; HATTLER, St. Notburg, die Magd des Herrn, den glaubwuerdigen Urkunden treuherzig nacherzaehlt, 5th ed. (Donauworth, 1902); STADLER, Heiligen-Lexikon, IV (Augsburg, 1875), 586-592; DUNBAR, Dictionary of Saintly Women, II (London, 1905), 111-112; BARING-GOULD, Lives of the Saints, 14 Sept.

# Catholic Encyclopedia (1913)/St. Novatus

From volume 11 of the work.
St. Novatus, who is mentioned on 20 June with his brother, the martyr Timotheus, was the son of St. Pudens and Claudia Rufina, and the brother of Sts. Pudentiana and Praxedes. His paternal grandfather was Quintus Cornelius Pudens, the Roman senator, who with his wife, Priscilla, was among St. Peter's earliest converts in Rome and in whose house the Apostle dwelt while in that city. A portion of the superstructure of the modern church of St. Pudentiana (Via Urbana) is thought to be part of the senatorial palace or of the baths built by Novatus.
# Catholic Encyclopedia (1913)/St. Odilia

From volume 11 of the work.
Patroness of Alsace, born at the end of the seventh century; died about 720. According to a trustworthy statement, apparently taken from an earlier life, she was the daughter of the Frankish lord Adalrich (Aticus, Etik) and his wife Bereswinda, who had large estates in Alsace. She founded the convent of Hohenburg (Odilienberg) in Alsace, to which Charlemagne granted immunity, confirmed 9 March, 837 by Louis the Pious who endowed the foundation (Böhmer-Muhlbacher, "Regesta Imperii", I, 866, 933). A tenth-century "Vita" has been preserved, written at the close of the century. According to this narrative she was born blind, miraculously receiving her sight at baptism. A shorter text, probably independent of this, is contained in a manuscript of the early eleventh century. Internal evidences point to an original eighth-century biography. A further "Vita", that J. Vignier claimed to have discovered, has been proved to be a forgery by this historian. Her feast is celebrated 13 December; her grave is in a chapel near the convent church on the Odilienberg. She is represented with a book on which lie two eyes.

# Catholic Encyclopedia (1913)/St. Odo

From volume 11 of the work.
Second Abbot of Cluny, born 878 or 879, probably near Le Mans; died 18 November, 942. He spent several years at the court of William, Duke of Martin at Tours. About 909, he became a monk, priest, and superior of the abbey school in Baume, whose Abbot, Bl. Berno, was transferred to Cluny in 910. Authorized by a privilege of John XI in 931, he reformed the monasteries in Aquitaine, northern France, and Italy. The privilege empowered him to unite several abbeys under his supervision and to receive at Cluny monks from abbeys not yet reformed; the greater number of the reformed monasteries, however, remained independent, and several became centres of reform. Between 936 and 942 he visited Italy several times, founding in Rome the monastery of Our Lady on the Aventine and reforming several convents, e.g. Subiaco and Monte Cassino. He was sometimes entrusted with important political missions, e.g., when peace was arranged between King Hugo of Italy and Alberic of Rome. Among his writings are: a biography of St. Gerald of Aurillac, three books of Collationes (moral essays, severe and forceful) a few sermons, an epic poem on the Redemption (Occupatio) in several books (ed. Swoboda, 1900), and twelve choral antiphons in honour of St. Martin.

3052 Private Secretary
To the Ottoman Army Commander-in-Chief
Following is the copy of the note from the Office of the Prime Minister to the Office of the Commander-in-Chief
Your Highness
Armenian committees with their political revolutionary organizations on the Ottoman lands have long been pursuing to gain an administrative autonomy and this desire is displayed once more, in no uncertain terms, with the inclusion of the Russian Armenians who have assumed a position against us together with the Daschnak Committee in no time in the regions of Zeytûn, Bitlis, Sivas, and Van in accordance with the decisions they have previously taken – pertaining to inciting of upheavals with all their forces at every opportunity to hinder the welfare and the future of the country – when the Ottoman Army was in its weakest position and was already engaged in war. With the discovery of the bombs, and the Ottoman Armenians’ joining with the Russian forces by forming voluntary regiments against the Ottoman State, it has become evident that these committees, whose administrative centers are in Europe, bearing the adjective of “revolutionary” in their titles have gathered around Kayseri, Sivas and in other provinces in order to incite upheavals in the regions behind and to threat the Ottoman Army at every opportunity through their attempts, organizations, and publications.
Consequently, the government has taken measures to prevent the continuation of these events and organizations, which are the dens of mischief, thoroughly as previously declared. The immediate closing down of the branches of the Nubar’s Hinjack and Tashnak committees as well as of the similar organizations in the capital and in other provinces, seizing of all the documents and the material without any loses, arresting of the leaders and the members of the committees, of the people who have taken part in the activities, of the Armenians who are well known by the police forces, gathering of the suspicious people in an area in the towns so as to prevent their escape, launching of researches for weapons in suitable places have been found appropriate. Furthermore, for any inconvenience that might arise the commanders should be consulted. The measures taken shall be realized justly; and should there be any arrests after the thorough investigations of the documents the criminals shall be sent to the military courts immediately. Should you approve, I hereby kindly request the issuing of the necessary orders.

September.
Count all the plumes of golden-rod,
That by the country roadsides nod;
Count all the little feathery blooms
That make the golden-rod's gay plumes—
So many times I love this sprite,
With sun-burnt cheeks and eye-beams bright,
Who shoulder-deep in yellow flowers,
Spends all the lazy sunshine hours.
The finches, dressed in gold and black,
Are always flitting on his track,
And sometimes frolic spiders lay
Their tickling webs across his way!
Edith M. Thomas.
October the Artist.
October is an artist rare,
He paints new pictures, every day;
His colors come from who know where?—
Red, orange, purple, misty gray;
He touches first the maple leaf
Which biting frosts have brought to grief.
He paints the grass, and every vine
That clambers over fence or wall:
His hazel eyes mischievous shine,
For when the leaves begin to fall,
He makes them dance around, around,
In elfin rings along the ground!
Edith M. Thomas.
The Holly.
As dreaming by my fire I sat,
I heard a merry din;
The door I opened wide; at that,
A stranger-child stepped in.
He wore a fleecy, warm, white hat
Tied round his dimpled chin.
Green leaves and berries red he brought;
His face and voice were jolly;—
"I have no flowers, but these, I thought,
Would cure your melancholy.
I'll sing a song, that I've been taught,—
It's called, 'Heigh ho, the Holly!'"
Edith M. Thomas.

March and Pussy-willow.
If you ask me why I am laughing so,
I will tell you true.—An hour ago,
As I played on the bank of the silvery creek,
I broke off a branch from the Willow sleek
Oh ho! it was fun to hear and to see
How she fretted and fumed, and scolded me.
She called on the Wind—the Wind came light—
And together they beat me left and right.
But all her lashes and all her whips
Only tickled my cheeks, with her fleecy tips;
She fancied she hurt me—she didn't, you know,—
And that is why I am laughing so!
Edith M. Thomas.
April the Trickster.
Ask me not why April's skies
Every hour show some new weather;
Ask me not why April's eyes
Fill with tears and smiles together.
April's sweet, yet April's shrewd—
You will trust him to your cost!
Though the fields with flowers are strewed,
He may send a nipping frost.
If you put your sunshade on,
With a hail-storm he will greet you;
If your water-proof you don,
To fine weather he will treat you!
Edith M. Thomas.
In the Orchard.
Under the blooming orchard tree,
I hear the little maid May
Singing, "Why can't you stay with me,
Dear blossoms, why can't you stay?
I'll love you true, my whole life through,"
Promises little maid May.
Then I seem to hear the blossoms sigh.
"Sweetheart, it cannot be;
Your brother September will by and by
Seek apples under this tree:
We blossoms all must wither and fall,
Or apples there'll never be !"

The Daisy.
What does the daisy see,
In the breezy meadow tossing?
It sees the wide blue overhead
And the little cloud-flocks crossing.
What does the daisy see,
'Round the sunny meadow glancing?
It sees the butterflies' chase,
And the filmy gnats at their dancing.
What does the daisy see,
Down in the grassy thickets?
The grasshoppers green and brown,
And the nimble, coal-black crickets.
It sees the bobolink's nest
That no one else can discover,
And the brooding mother-bird,
With the floating grass above her.
Edith M. Thomas.
July and the Bumble-bee.
July comes with song and laughter,
Clover-blossoms in her hands;
Bumble-bee comes buzzing after,—
jacket brown with yellow bands.
"I have been the whole field over,
North and south and east and west;
And if I'm a judge of clover,
You, July, have found the best!
"I'll give all my honey-pleasures
That in fields and gardens lie,
If you'll share the stolen treasures,
In your dainty bands, July!"
"Ho sir! for you fret and grumble;
(Grumble-bees the name for you!)
But if ever you grow humble
What you ask me, then I'll do!"
Edith M. Thomas.
The Water-lily.
The Water-lily has a heart of gold,
But yet she hides a secret never told;
The dragon-fly could tell it, if he would;;
The piping sand-lark too has understood!
She loves the burning sun, she loves the shadel
Her lonely mystery makes me half afraid;
When I my eager hands reach out to her,
She floats away,—a fairy voyager!
I only know, before the lily blooms,
A long time she must sleep in watery glooms;
And when she dies, she droops her lovely head
Down, down upon the river's shaded bed!
Edith M. Thomas.
