At Carthage in the year 203, Perpetua, a
married lady but Twenty-Five wears olu,
Saturus, her instructor in the Falth, emo
Felicitas, a slave, were cast into prison ioI
the name of Christ. Perpetua's father tried
to force her by threats aud outrage to aeny
her faith. At another time he implored her
to pity his white hairs, to remember that
ahe had always been his favorite child, and
To think of her ow n infant who was still at
the breast. Even at the judgment seat he
continued his entreaties, till the magis-
trates had him driven away with blows.
Perpetua felt his sufferipgs as her own !;
when her child was put for little at her
breast, It. seemed to change the prison into
q palace, but Christ was dearer to her than
father and child. God changed the DARK
meas of this prison into light. In vision

tory by her prayers. sAtuEus oehelo ,o, sne
glory prepared for them, and the blessings
which their intercession would afterwards
bring upon tho Church.
According to the sentence the martyrs
were torn by wild beasts. In the midst OF
her sufferings Perpetua was dead to sense,
and did not know the beasts had touched
her. They all had strength to rise and
salute each other with the kiss of peace.
They were then despatched with the sword,
and entered together -iate-the- heavenly

overtaken by the pains of childbirth; and
when she betrayed the pain che suffered,
one of the heathens asked her how she
would endure to be thrown among the wild
beasts. She replied, "Now it is I who
suffer then another will be with me and
will suffer for me. since am to suffer for
Him" This is the faith and victory Of the
Saints.

Vandals and Huns we've Tnstipg fbe prov
inces of the Empire, and Nestcriaoe, fe'e
gians, and other hGretics wrought more
griovous havoc among sonls. Whist Leo's
zeal made head against these periie, there
arose the new heresy Of Entyches, who
confounded the two natures of Christ. At
once the vigilant pastor proclaimed the
true doctrine Of the Incarrstion in his
famous "tome;" but fostered by the By
Eantine court, the heresy gained strong
hold amongst the Eastern monks and
bishops. After three years OF unceasing
toll, Leo brought about its solemn con-
demnation by the Council of Chalcedon,
the Fathers all signing his tome, and
exclaiming, "Peter hath spoken by Leo"
Soon after, Attila with his Huns broke into
Italy, and marched through its burning
cities upon Rome. Leo went out boldly
to meet him, and prevailed on him to turn
back. Two years later the city fell prey
to the Vandsls; but even then Leo eaved
1t from destruction. He died 4ol, having
ruled the Church twenty years.
Astonished to see the terrible Attila, the
"Scourge of God" fresh from the sack of
Aquileia, Milan, Pavia,, with the rich
prize of Rome within his grasp, turn bis
great host back to the Danube at the
Saints word, his chiefs asked bim why he
had acted 80 strangely. He answered that
he saw beside Leo a venerable Pontiff,
who, with drawn sword and terrifying
gestures, threatened him unless he did the
Saints bidding. If the perils of the Church

ST. SABAs, THE GOTH.

ST. sABAs, THE GOTH.
Sabas was of Gothic birth and o Chris
tian from his youth. He was poor in the
worlds goods, but rich in virtue, and he
proved his fidelity three several times,
under the persecution of Athanaric, q
occasions he induced many Christians to
confess the faith openly, instead of pre-
tending to eat things offered to the idols,
and thus outwitting the persecutors. On
another, when the Inhabitants of village
whore he was swOre they had no Christian
among them, be said, LET no man swear
for me /; am Christian" The persecutors
ppared his life, but the third time God
Himself invited him to martyrdom.
In 372, when he was thirty two years of
age, he was going to celebrate the Easter
feast at q distance, when an apparition OF
the way bade him return and keep the fes-
tival at home. He Obeyed, and one night,
officers of the hestben prince. He WAS
dragged naked over thorns, and after
many other torments sentenced to die by
drowning in q tributary of the Danube.
He stood alone on the river bank with the
guards, and they were inclined to let him
go but God did not withhold the crown
to which he had called him. make haste"
said the Saint ~ see what you canuot see
"a band waiting for me on the other shore
ready to receive me into glory"
The blood OF the martyrs wac the seed
of the Church, because in the early ages
tho Christians stndied the lives of the
martyrs, celebrated their feasts with devo.
ton, and encouraged themselves by their
example to like fidelity. The great st.
Basil besought friend of his to send him
relics of the Gothic martyrs. HE wish was
gratified. He received the relics of st.
Ssbas for his own church in Cappadocia,
aud at the same time the Catholics there
received letter from their brethren among
the Goths, inviting them to rejoice in the
new glory of the Church, and celebrate
Macs on the feast of ST. Sahas-St, Baeft
received the relics with unspeska5le joy,
thanking God who waters the Church with
the blood of martyrs, and encourages those
who remain by the example of those who
have gone before.
