Religious Reception.

Thursday of last week, the oath ult., a
most interesting ceremony took place in
the church of Notre Dame de Bon Secour,
on the corner of Jackson and Constance
streets, in the Fourth District A young
lady, Miss Matilda Courier, of st. Gabriel,
Iberviile parish, the only daughter of the
late DR.. Courier, in accordance with the
rules regulating so solemn a ceremony,
made profession of her desire to enter
upon the prescribed novitiate of the Order
of the Sisters of Mercy. The ceremony
commenced at 10 O'Clock in the forenoon,
the church was crowded, many desiring to
witness scene so interesting in a religious
point of view, some from mere curiosity,
on account of its novelty to them, and
others from personal interest in the welfare
OF the young lady who was about to take
so decided step in life. Among the lat
ter were her four brothers, and some of the
first people Of the State.
In presenting herself first before the
altar the young postulant appeared very
handsomely dressed as bride, accompa-
MED by Mr. T. Henderson's little daughter
as an angel, and by eight girls as brides
maids. Afterwards, when all the worldly
tinery had been laid aside, and she appear
cd before the altar in the simple costume
of the Order, as Sister Theresa, the name
she had assumed in religion, the sympathy
of the congregation became visible.
The celebrant in this most solemn sid
interesting ceremony was the Rev. IL. Gle
sen, pastor of the church of the AssrmD-
ton, and the Superior of the Redemp-
florists in this city. Heprcached the recep-
ton sermon, which one of our city contem-
poraries speaks of as "one of the most ap-
propriate, eloquent, touching and beautiful
oratorical efforts it has been our fortune to
hear" He referred to the words of our
Lord, when, reproving Martha for the care

and trouble which she gave herself about
worldly matters, he said that but one thing
was necessary, that Mary had chosen the
best part, and that it should not be taken
from her. He spoke of the sacrifice of all
worldly goods, pleasures, and associations
then made, and of the promises that Christ
held ont to those that devote their lives to
His service, and do all that they do in His
name. OF the many that were present
there could have been few that left the
church without feeling that what they had
seen and what they had heard were good.
The clergymen assisting at the ceremony
were The Revs. j. Flanagan, pastor of St.
Patrick's; V. c. ID. D'Hemecourt, pastor of
st. Johns, Iberville parish, Plaquemine,
and j. B. Bogaerts, pastor, Gretna also the
Rev. w. S. Murphy, S. j., of the Church of
the Immaculate Conception, together with
the Revs. A. de Ham, w. V. Meredith, A.
ISvicovitz, and E. Smulder, Redemptorists !;
and the Rev. p. F. Flynn, from the diocese
of Waterford, Ireland. w.

Rationalism-No. S.

The evidences of free-will flash on us
with such dazzling brilliancy in every page
of history, that it would be as unnecessary
to our readers as tedious to ourselves
here to undertake the task of enumerating
them. History is the great book in which
all the records of our race are chronicled':
languages, literatures, oral and written
monuments; the migrations and success
sions of peoples; their undertakings, their
customs, their Observation-Disclosures de-
notes the activity of human thought-his-
tory has preserved for US, and history may
therefore be defined, the external and OBJ
jectire expression Of the actiuity Of the human
mind. From Zenophanes and Cappilla
down to those of our own day, all ration
alists virtually ignore history; they argue
from sensible phenomena, which never
extend beyond individual experience, and
| have, therefore, at best but a mere relative
value, while they completely overlook the
great social manifestations, which are alone
worthy of the. philosophers attention,
since, in that they are the administration of
ideas, they are absolute, and can accord
ingIy furnish a basis for scientific specula-
ton. History attests the freedom of the
human will, and all legislation presupposes
it. We will not speak of rewards and pun
ishments, of the eplogies bestowed upon
the virtuous, nor of the odium which at
taches to the wicked the freedom of the
human will stands on the two pillars which
support the social edifice itself-on law and
civil liberty for without law society is
impossible, and slavery, wherever it still
exists, being merely relative term, i'm
plies the existence of freemen. Deny the
freedom of the human will, and what be-
comes of the beautiful mosaic of civil and
social freedomG Among beasts, moved and
impefied by irrational instinct, there is, can
be, no law, and yet bee-hives and ant-hills
are as we'll organized as any of our cities;
some natural philosophers claim that they
are even more so. 1t will not do to assert
that in the brute creation instinct srfbserves
all the purposes of reason, and supplies its
place, because the scant allowance of in
stlnct given to grown-up men, and the
abundant light of reason with which they
are endowed, plainly argue their liberty
by proving them privileged with the free
dom of election. In the child instinct is
strong, because in him the use of reason
and the exercise of free will are as vet in
allegiance; but according as he grows up,
and the little animal expands into the in

Mardi Gras.

Last Tuesday was celebrated with the
revelry usual, we understand, in this city,
as it is in many cities in continental Europe.
Persons appeared on the streets in mask
and with fancy dresses, but we could see
no apparent design, characteristic represen-
tation, or humor, or point, in any thing we
saw on the street during the day. In the
evening " The Mystick Grove of Comus {"
passed through the streets in procession on
large platform cars, with music and lights.
The design was good one, and was car
ried out with good taste. 1t was repre-
sentation of the history of Louisiana at
different periods from 1889 to 1915, in sta
tuary. That is, the prominent men at the
various periods selected We're represented
under the appearance of white marble. AS
representation of statuary it was adj
mirable, but the effect was somewhat i'm
paired by the inability of some of the
figures to remain still. How they appeared
in the tableaux we had no opportunity of
Judging, but as street show it might have
been more brilliant. There was too great
"a monotony of color, the dead white mar
BILE with white lights. There was no con
trast of color to give brilliancy to the
scenes represented, and the cars were
too bare. Had they been covered witt,
scarlet cloth, and the horses with housings
of the same color, with mingling of blue,
red, yellow and green among the lights, it
would have given that brilliancy to the
procession, which, notwithstanding it's per-
lection in other respects, it appeared to us
to want.
Mardi Gras, properly speaking, is no fes-
tival. But being the eve of u season set
apart by the Church for fasting, penitence
and prayer, when theatres were closed and
festivities, not prohibited at other seasons,
disapproved of, the young and the thought
less were too apt to give way to an exu-
berance of revelry on the day that preceded
the long period of penitence that was ia
tended to prepare her children for a proper
celebration of the death of Christ. There
fore the custom grew up in Catholic coun-
tries, for in Catholic countries only was the
Lent carried out. w.

REpEMPToKIsTs MIssfoNs.-We received
the following report from Algiers, of the
mission lately given there in st. Bartholo-
NEWS Church, too late for publication last
week.
The first mission was opened or Sunday,
January 80, by the Revs. F. Burke and b.
Neithart, c. IS. r. Three times day for
twelve days the church was filed by those
who came to hear the pious and eloquent
fathers. During the services the church
was always crowded. The mission was a
able than was anticipated. Great numbers
approached the sacraments, some who had
neglected them for years, and others who,
though adults made their first communion.
Several who were not Catholics asked to be
Seceived into the bosom of the true Church.
The exercises of the English mission
closed ON Wednesday.Feb 9th, with the
Papal bencdiction and the benedictiOn Of
the Blessed Sacrament.
. The Revs. F. Berchem, c. IS. r., and F.
Faivre, c. SIS. r., opened French mission,
which was continued until Sunday, Feb.
Goth, and closed in a similar way.
1t would be difficult to give any detailed
account of the good effects produced upon
the Catholics of Algiers by the missions oil
those good fathers during the three weeks
in which they lasted. 1t is sufficient to say
that there was q thousand communicates
and that the zeal aud piety of the goot
fathers was eagerly and warmly Responded
to by the people of Algiers.

V1sIT OF MARSHAL MCMAHON TO THE
IRISH COLLEGE, PARIs.-The iIIustrious
hero of Malakoff and Magenta, paid a visit
on Thursday, January 9th, to the Irish
College of Paris, where he was enthusiastic
cally received by the directors, the pro
fessors and students. His Excellency was
accompanied by the Project of Constantine,
Algeria, and by our countryman, Mr.. j. p.
Leonard. After addressing few words to
the students, in which he expressed the
pleasure he felt in finding himself among
his dnciens compdtriOtes, the great soldier
of France, now Governor G eneral of
Algeria, expressed the hope of being able
to form in that COLONY little Irish settle
ment, and that the Project of Constantine
was going to see after the interests of the
settlers lately arrived in the colony.
Marshal Mcmahon was greatly struck
with the students, who are nearly all above
the ordinary height of men in France, and
whose healthy appearance and manly bear
ing were SO remarkable. 1t is the first
time since he was student at the military
school of st. Cyr, in 1924, that lie visited
the college. Since then he won laurels on
many field of battle, and saved France,
perhaps, at Magenta, from second Water
loo.-COr. Nation.

NEWS OF ARCHBISHOP ODIN.-The Pro-
pagatenr, of last week, which reached us
after our paper had gone to press, had, in
substance, the following in regard to the
health of. our Venerable and Revered
Archbishop. In the hope expressed at the
close We most fervently unite, and sincerely
pray that God may extend that mercy to
his Grace, and to us, his children:
A letter which we have received from R. p.
Bellanger, dated February 4th, informs us that
the health of our Venerable Archbishop still
continues very bad. His return to France, in
the commencement of January, was followed
by very perceptible Improvement, but that
Improvement has not been sustained. His
Grace is wearied and exhausted by u continual
oppression that leaves him rest.
All the letters that we receive from Europe
agree III almost depriving us of all hope of
seeing him again among us. But prayer is 80
powerful We still hope that God will pre-
serve life SO precious TO us; and, should his
strength be sustained until the month of May,
we feel confident that he will make an effort to
return amongns.

Tn the village of Houston, near Green
lock Scotland, there lived, about me
wear v 1910, a woman named Maggie
Macpherson. On returning at carry
dawn from driving her cattle to Pas1
rlre she was frightened in no SINAI, de
Gree bv observing a wolf standing
Straight in her path. Paralyzed py
Iher terror, she could not move pu'
stood staring wildly at the object Of
Iher dread, awaiting submlsslvely the
attack which she was sure would soon
put an end to her existence.
Standing thus for a considerable
length of time, with her eyes at inter
walls raised to heaven in prayeriul ex-
pectancy, she at length began to won
der that the wolf was in no hurry TO
make the expected attack. Again cast
ing her eyes in the direction of the an
imal, she fancied that the usual Zero
cious expression of his countenance
had this time given way to a more
softened and subdued look, and that
she could observe him raise his eyes
toward her with a supplicant whine, as
if he needed in some fashion her assist
ance.
Acquiring some degree of confidence
from this circumstance, she took cour-
age to survey him more closely, when
she observed him slowly approaching
with an unmistakable limp, holding up
one of his fore-fect, which appeared
much swollen Taking hold Of the
wounded paw, she saw that he was SUI
fering from large thorn that had
punctured the sole of his foot. This
she had no difficulty in extracting, and
then, by gently pressing on the wound,
she drew from il considerable amount
of purulent matter, an operation that
seemed TO give the animal much relief.
She then released him, and he toddled
away, whining out his best thanks to
his physician. The woman, too, made
haste home, thanking Heaven for her
escape.
But more remains 10 be told. On
the morning of the following day she
was awakened by n strange uproar all
around the dwelling. There was the
lowing of kline, the blcating of goats
and sheep, the cackling of geese, with
now and then the howl of wolf. She /
hastily raised herself from her couch.
aud looking out 10 see what had caused
he unusual commotion, she observed |
al the live stock of the ncighborhood
gathered about her door, with "A wolf
lceping guard outside the circling
'rowd to prevent any attempt nj an cs-
ape. She knew by his halt that he |
was the same animal whom she had re-
lcvcd from his embarrassment on the
preceding day. When the wolf saw
ler he set mp whine Of satisfaction.

'rought-pleasc accept them" and i'm
walked of, with an appar-
nt look Of gratitude.
This incident was told TO the writer

nan to whom it happened.

"CHEEK."-The following is from a
Des Moines paper: "At the funeral of
a young man in Des Moines, recently
the services for the dead took place at
the residence of the parents. After a
most pathetic address, which brought
tears from all the young ladies pres,
ent, the minister inquired if any of
the dear friends Of the deceased wished
to say anything on this solemn occa-
sion. A stranger here stepped forward
and, after expressing sympathy with
the friends of the deceased, remarked
that the ways of Providence are inscrut-
able, and, in this connection he wished
to mention that he was the agent for a
4rst-rate article of hair yigor for the
state OF Iowa. The corpse had used
It Tor years with great advantage. and
ne confidently recommended it, especi-
ally to the minister and undertaken

both painfully bald. Shake the bottle

well " using a stiff Brush said he. At

or man disappeared.'' 49,
