TIE BATTLE OF LIFE.-We have often
been impressed by the deep significance
of the phrase which Dickens has given de
title to one of his Christmas Stories
1.-The Battle Of Life" 1t is full Of solemn
meanings. All our hours, from the era
die to the grave, are but series Of antag.
oniSms. Hunger, fatigue, sickness, temp
tation, sin, remorSe, sorrow-these arc
the strong powers with which we must
wage continual war. Foes beset us from
without and within, and mako life one
long and earnest battle. But there are
victories to be won on the field, more glo4
rious than those which crimsoned Mara
thon and Waterloo. Evil habits may be-
ubdued-fiery passions brought under
the control Of principle re-
sisted-self denial cheerfully sustsine3
and life itself consecrated to high and no.
ly purposes. To triumph over the infir+
mites Of perverted nature, and render
life, once defOrmed by passion and stained
by sin. beautiful with love made manifest
in deeds Of benevoIence, is worthier our
ambition than all the bloOd-wFougAt he
roisms that ever linked name 10 wOFIdse
remembrance. Every day vitnesseth etSi.
umphs such as these-yet fame prochims
them not. What matters hf Ia these
rene depths Of these all-conqnering spir-'
its, Gods peace abides, and harlnoDies
are heard, such as the angels make, when
they welcome the victorious soul from the
conflicts Of this, to the raptuTes 0f the
heavenly world.

THE PASSION FLOWER. and
descriptions Of the passion flower were
published for the first time, both in Spain
and Italy, in 1909. BoSio'S chief author
ity was Father Emanuello de VillegaS, an
Augustinian monk, and a native of Mexi-
co, who was at that time visiting Rome.
But Father Emanuels wonderful account
had been confirmed, we are assured, by
many perSonagcs 'di quaita iii grayita,
who have Travelled in New Spain, and es-
Lecially by certain Mexican Jesuits. II
would seem, says BoSio, that in this won.
derful and mysteritSlS flower of the five
wounds ('ilOr de las cinco illagaS'), as the
Spaniards call it, the Creator of the world
had chosen to represent the principal
enblrmS of his Sons passion; SO that in
due season it might assist, when its mar.
wells should he explained to them, in the
conversion of the heather people in whose
country it grew.
lie goes on to describe the flower as
follows: The upper petals are tawny Cli
color leonateO in Peru; in New Spain
they are white, tinged with rose color
The fringc-like filaments above are blood.
red, as though referring to the scourge
with which our Lord was beaten In
the midst of the flower rises the column
to which lie was bound; and above are
the nails, both Of which are clear green.
Above, again, is the crown Of thornS, sur
rounded by kind of veil of threads
seventy-two in number, the tradit:ona
number of thorns or our Lords crown
colored like peacock's feather ('di colol

and under the column are FIVE marks oil
spots Of a blood color, clearly represent
ing the five chief wounds that Christ re-
ceived on the cross The plant, he con-
tinues. is rich in leaves, which in shape
resemble the iron of pike or lance head
and refer to that with which our Lords
side was pierced. At nightfall the fiOweI
