FraSer's MayaSine, very high English
Protestant authority, describes thus the
condition and aspects of German Protes-
tantism and its ministry
"The German Protestant clergyman is,
10 sober truth, of very little account.
Nobody minds much what he says on
things in general and were he to speak of
those things more particularly of which it
would well become him to speak out of the
pulpit as we'll as in it, he would not even
be tolerated. Let him take his hand at
whist; let him have his afternoon game at
bowls or skittles, and smoke his quiet pipe
whilst he thus amuses himself, and bis
fellow citizens will not be averse from his
society. Pipes and skittles are becoming
diversions, and beer and tobacco promoters
of good fellowship. Only do not let him
show that he is (or ought to be) different
from them, or all amity will be at an end.
His life differs but little from theirs
chiefly, perhaps, in that their day of rest is
his day of labor. With his family he talks of
his pigs and his geese; with the neighbors
of gas and taxes; of religion no mention is
made, nor, l fear, is "the enthusiasm OF
humanity" very strong upon him. He
drones on inoffensively; but no burning
charity, no ardent love, no fervent zeal. mo

Another indulgence to St Vincent dc Paul soeie'y.
IN. Y. Catholic Review J

tN.Y Catholic Review
Another has been added to the mauy
spiritual favOrs enjoyed by the Society of
st. Vincent do Paul. The Very Rev.
Father Alieri, Prior eneral of the
Brothers of st. John of God and President
of the Superior Council of the Society at
Rome, with the design of encouraging
among the conferences the attendance on
the sick and poor su admirably practsed
by the religious of his oeder, entertained
the idea of soliciting from the Holy Father,
and has obtain, d from his great bounty a
plenary indulge CO to be gained on the 3 h
OF March, the feast of st. John of God, by
both tho members Of the Society aud the
assisted sick, on condition that they re-
ceive the sacramento with proper dlsposi-
tions and perform some act of charity, at
the sap-e time praying for the intention Of
the Pope. This indulgence may be ap
piled to tho souls In purgatory. More
over, he declares, as Superior General of
she Society of st. John of God, that he will
associate in the merits, suffrages AM spirit
ual advantages of his Order all the mem
bers of the Society with their families, who |
will visit the sick in the hospitals and even
at their respective homes. Finally having
remarked that the rescript of the Holy
Father granted the indulgence of the S'h
OF May only to members visiting the sick
In the hospitals, Father Alferi applied for
and obtained the extension of this indui-
gence also to the members who should
visit the sick at their residences. The
Church is never tired of opeping to as the
treasury of her indulgences. But to show
ourselves worthy of and give evidence of
our gratitude for them, we should not
neglect to benefit by all these liberali los.
Besides, she is never more consoled than
when she sees her children make use of all
these gifts for the good of the souls who
were dear to them and who have been sep
ATated from them by death.

much to smooth the way for the energetic
organist, Prof. Joseph FIecher. 1t must
NOT be imagined that the music of the Ce.
Gillian Society is confined to Plain Chant

Its object is to foster and encourage love

which elevates the heart and mind, increas-

distracting it. This is the mission of the

Tho oitizeDs of Galveston recently invited
Ex-Spenker Randel to visit their city. In a
letter expressing his regret that business en-
gagements prevented his acceptance of the
invitation now, be thus comments on the
commercial interests of the United States and
their relations to the Central and South Ameri-
can States:
The time has come, in my opinion, when the
policy OF the Government should be 60 enlarge
our trade relations with Mexico and with the
Central and South American States.
1tfs well for ne to stndv the statistics of the
ha1e between these countries and the III arke
OF the world, from which we find that the peo.
plo Of the United States are not receiving q
due share of the commerce Of the countries
have named.
We need more favorable commercial rela.
Sioas and more comprehensive trade conpec-
tions with other nations Let me cite q few
ngures TO prove the truthfulness of my as-
eertion.
hepublic documents show the foreign COM
merce of the countries lying south of the
United States on the American continent to be
ABOUT $500 OoO,0OO. Oar share of this amou Mt
is about $1l2 600 600, of which only about S37, :
600 600 Is transported in American vessels and
under the American hag. Such q statement
should at once arouse our people from their
lethargy.

and secure a market for our productions
1t Is dtscr,dit to enlIghtenUenJ that

make sufficient endeavors TO increase our

Archbishop of Cashel has been sent to Mr..

Regin with the Family.

If "Uncle Ben's Bag" or "The Lords
Cash-box" we're an established institution in
every household, we believe it would do more
to hasten the coming of Christ's kingdom,
than any other human means. The impor-
lance of this adjunct 10 training the future
rulers of the land-the coming men and wo-
men who shall control the affairs of Church
and society-cannot be estimated. In some
of the country districts of Scotland, it was
formerly the custom to have "Children's
Missionary Box" in each family, and every
penny given to, or earned by the little ones,
was speedily and voluntarily dropped into it.
Once year the children of the parish
marched in procession to the village church,
clad in their best attire. They listened to
missionary addresses, sang missionary hymns
never emitting "From Greenland's icy
mountains') and then came the browning
ceremony. Each missionary box was opened
in full view of the many eager eyes, it's con-
tents counted and proclaimed, amid tumult
of 10y. Then, as they passed out of the
door, an orange and a seed-cake were given
to each child, and they went away with
happy hearts. "That was the great day OF
the year for US children" said one who
looked back to that early time, and noted
the impressions then received.
The mother of the late lamented Mrs.
Doremus, of New York (herself styled the
Smother of Missionaries - thus taught her
children, and laid the foundations of that
eminence to which her sons and daughters
attained in the Church and the world
"When l was very young, and received my
first silver dollar (for sitting still an hour
most dearly earned)," relates one of hel
honorcd daughters, " my mother said, as sht
placed it in my hand, Remember, child
that one.tenth of this belongs to God Sht
changed it for me into ten bright dimes, ant
the next Sabbath I dropped my first, vers
own, contribution into the missionary box
The luxury was SO great that one by one thu
rest followed And that made missionary
of me-" O blessed training of the little
ones, to honor God with the " first fruits o
their young lives God first were tina
the motto and watchword of every Christian
family, Heavens blessing would not be lack
ing upon either parents or children.

+" Nothing to do, and Nothing to do it With.

This expression, made by q seemingly Wig
orouS young man on the street, struck my
ears as the vail, sometimes quiet and some
times clamorous, of multitudes in our own
and other lands at this time. This particu-
lar utterance was made in a Semi-humorous
tone. and not as indicating great distress or
a strong disposition to quarrel with the world
on account of the evils endured. With a
Young man, having himself alone to provide
for, such apparent submi8aivenesS to want is
quite possible; but with millions on earth
the tone would be necessarily one of anxiety
and grief.
Well, some one may ask, what have you to
say about it? Not much, perhaps, that will
appear novel or very important; but 1t re-
minds me of suggestion by that shrewd
observer and wise mentor, the Rev. Richard
Cecil: "DO something, do it." But, for
those whose case is here lamented, what can
it be? This at least it might be. A man,
feeling himself condemned to idleness, may
we'll ask, Have l ever gone to the right One
for employment? The Bible seems to init
mate that there is service for all to render to
the Author and Preserver Of our being; as
also, that failing this, We are all servants of
a very different master,-one who would not
be much grieved to see US standing idle in
the streets from the beginning to the end Of
the year. Here, then, seems something to
be done by any one out of employment, viz.
to consider his ways before God, and then,
finding himself quite astray, to seek themeanS
of the earliest possible return to the paths of
duty and felicity. Till this is truly effected,
none can justly say, Il haze nothing to do,
and nothing to do at aOith." Good employ
ment may thus be found, with abundant
means of performing the work required. And
what turn of the wheel it would be, for the
poor man who cannot get work to give him
his daily bread, to rise at once to the dignity
of servant of the living GOd-to make sure
of the bread of everlasting life-and then,
through the promise of Christ to those that
"sssk first the Kingdom of God and has right
sousness," to be entitled to all things needful
for the life that now is.
Let me propose to all who are in the pre-
dicament of this young man, to adopt at
once the advice here given. Let him ask for
himself place as the servant of God, and
then earnestly say, "LOrd, s0hat wih thou
haze me to dog" Let this position before
God be made sure; let this stand be deter
minately taken, once for all. Then let spe-
cial prayer be made for such service in the

FAMILY WoRsHIP-A traveller says: One
of the most beautiful images that ever rose
upon my imagination was suggested to me by
chance delay of two days among the lakes
and mountains of the Trosachs Glen. l
happened to make the inquiry, what became
of the villagers so suddenly disappearing at
nightfall from the streets, and sandy. haired
Scotchman replied, "Most of them would be
at prayers about this time!" And I looked
up into the fair blue sky, and thought how
fine a thing it would be to have resting
place high enough just to hear the murmur
of voices, as they read verse about, and
sang one of the old Psalms, before the i'm
pressive hush in which the father offered
prayer. How grand would be the swell of
sound, when whole village was going on its
knees before God!
