est OF men-we have respect for those who
suffer rather than renouuce their faith, and
brave man will last CT all withdraw himself
from his ancient standard when the tide of
battle turns against it.

Church, and the separation of the Head
from the body would be, In effect, the
death of that Head and Of that body. The
union OF the Head Of the Church with its
members il religious fact ordained by
Christ, and secured forever by a perpetual
divine assistance. Our Lords prayer for
union was not intended to prevent mem-
beers from falling away; il was not intended
to prevent the possibility Of even great
schisms-which He foretold-bqt to secure
an insepefable union Of lie between the
Head and its members. The power given
to Peter to feed his brethren In the faith,
and to confirm them in it, has maintained
that life and close union between them
which has existed for more than
eighteen centuries and will continue
to the end of time. The " compendi0us
rule," az Plus TX. has declared in an En-
cyclical, whereby to know what is the
teaching of the Church, is to examine
what is the teaching of the Holy See: Ubi
Pefrts ibi Ecclesia. Once moro: it has
been argued that, because each bishop may
separate from the Pope, all may therefore
do so. As mathematical principle this
is true. But the union between the Pope
and the Pastors of the Church is depend
emit, not upon q mathematical principle,
but upon the divine promise of Gods con-
tinual assistance. 1t is upon this that Ca
tholics base their faith /; and upon these
divine promises they feel at rest, no matter
how specious or how many may be the OBJ
jections raised against their accomplish
meDt. The word of the Lord remaineth
for ever."-Idblet.

KEEP YOUR WoRD.-When you promise
to do q thing, do it. Be a. man of principle
in your word. Do not say that you intend
to-day to visit your sick friend or neighbor,
and then suffer the pressure of business to
crowd it out of your mind. He has been
Watching for your coming through the week
that is past. Could you have seen the
bright smiles that illuminated his counten-
ance when he said, 60 hear his voice, his
footsteps on the stairs" you would have
said that the keeping of that promise was
worth much choice gold. But when the
vision had disappeared, and you came not,
there was pity and sorrow, even for you,
written upon those features.
