q monastery at Bethlehem, Eustochium
there took the veil Eventually at Paula's
death, she succeeded her in the government
of the monastery, and gave bright and
beautiful example of penance, chastity and
generosity in the service of God. st. Je-
rome continued to watch over the soul
which his austere teaching had first guided
in the path of perfection. Many of his
letters are addressed to Eustochium, and
her sympathy and wisdom encouraged him
in his immense iabors for the TRANSLATION
of the Hebrew books of the Old Test ament
INTO Latin. She died in 4l9 at b sthlehem,
and was laid by her mothers side.
Eustochium's resolve to embrace the
religious life exposed her to the angry
opposition of her relations. Having car
ried her off by force, they dressed ber IN
rich garments and loaded her with jsw els,
striving by fiattery and persuasion to
shake her resolution. But the young
Saints firmness remained untrou bied. AS
soon as she could escape, she joyfolls re-
eumed her plain brcwn habit, and fled to

ST MALCHUs, MONK.


Malchus, Syrian, in spite of fierce
to God in the monaetc state, and lived in
it we'll and happily for many years. His
fathers death left him heir to an estate,
and he was tempted with the thought of
worldly comfort now within his reach. He
left his monastery, although the abbot fell
on his knees and begged him not to look
back, having once put bis hand to the
plow. But he could not fly from God. On
his way home the caravan was surprised
by the Saracens. He and Christian wo-
man were carried off into slavery. In his
enforced eolitude he returned to God and
to his vows /; and, moved by his example,
bound herself to the single life, and both,
at the risk of death from their heather
master, were faithful to God. They made
their escape together. Their master and
one of his attendants followed in their
track, and entered cave in which they
had hid themselves. But q loness, which
was crouching there, tore the Saracens to
pieces, and Malchus with his companion
escaped on the very Dromedaries which
had been used to overt&ke them. Malchus,
then an aged monk, told his story to St.
Jerome, who has left it to us as record of
Gods vengeance and of His mercy.
In his captivity, Malchus was sitting in
the desert, thinking sorrowfully OF his
monastery and of the abbot who had been
a father to him. AS he meditsted, he saw
| q troop of ants hard at work, and the
peace and order with which they toited
auickened the longing for tho peaceful
monastery which he had deserted. 1t vas
then he resolved to trust himself to God,
| and to risk his life in order to join his
brethren in religion.

POOR REW1RD.

L'Italie no very Gmiable friend to the
Church, haa accurately measured the Pro-
testanu propaganda in Rome It devoted
an article TO the FutJect ths other day,
aud after explaining how Rome was open
ed, in 1870, to the inroad of all sorts of
sec;s, proceed: The English and Amer
leans threw themselves into the struggle
with-enta usaSGl. They cent ministers
who had youth, intelligence, faith and
sumptuous churches, one of them costing
f2S, 900. They preached, distributed BIZ
bles and founded creches-in a word, they
lef5 nothing undoue to secure victory.
But they have failed. At this moment one
body has forty adherents, another eighty,
and so on. Altogether there are 700 in the
entire of Rome. Behold the result of eight
years of labor given by clever and zealous
men backed by illimitable resources. And
it is right to note that the figures set down
include all tho Protestant reside nts of
the Indifferent, who are merely at tracted
by the preaching" We can realize the
folly of rearing churches-one of them
costing f26 O0O-for which there are no
congregations. Before the brigand inva-
sion and seizure of the city every mi ssion
ary platform in England resounded, year
after year, with denuDciations of Papal
exclusiveness, and glowing pictures of the
harvest awaiting the sickle when the
reaper should have freedom to exert hi m
self. Nay, year by year, since 1870. we ha We
been assured that proselytes were comi Dg
by the legion. OF course, all was preten ce,
and we are glad TO have the evidence of
the ItaIie to confirm the view we have b cid
all along. A good Italian will be Cat b.
olic, and nothing else bad Italian as
no religion at all.

ST. EUsToCHIUM, VIRGIN.

St. Eustochium was the youngest daugh-
ter of the noble Roman widow, st. Paula,
St. Jerome's friend and disciple. From
her infancy she showed rare intelligence
and tender piety. Her mother watched
over her youth with untiring care, and st.
jerome spared 10 pains to cultivate the
soul of her whom he calls "the flower of
virgins" When Paula gave up the honors
and refnements of her position for life of
more perfect devotedness and self sacrifice
Eustochium joyfully followed her example;
and little la'er, when the holy widow,
bidding adieu to Rome, sailed for Pates,
tine, she was still faithfully accompanied
by her best. beloved child. Together they
visited the spots cOnsecrated by the suffer.

ST. JOHN OF BEVERLEY.

ST. JOHN OF BEVERLEY.
The Benedictine monasteries were to the
Anglo Saxons homes OF piety, centres of
industry and schools of learning. The
monk who left his cloister to rule dio
cese gathered round him crowds of eager
students. st. John of Beverly was one of
these great monastic bishops. He spent
his early years at Whitby under st. Hilda !;
and was afterwards raised to the see Of
Hexhsm, and then to that of York. he
there founded school which becaue ce1e-
brated for its learned men, yet none were
SO poor or ignorant but st. John tried to
instruct them also in the truths of saliva
ton. Ven. Bede, one of his pupils, relates
the following among other miracles
wrought by him. 1t was the holy bishops
custom to retire during Lent to some sol
itary spot; and on one occasion he took
with him poor dumb youth to support
and teach. The first week st. John spent
alone in prayer with God. Then, armed
with divine power, he made the sign of
the Cross on the dumb boys tongue, and
bade him speak. The boy uttered the
letter as he was bid, and then day by day
the Saint taught him new letters and
words, till at length the youth could speak
without difficulty. So delighted was he
with his new gift that he never ceased ex
pressing the thought of his mind. ST. John
died amidst the blessings and tears of his
flock A. D. 72l, and is still venerated as the
special patron of the deaf and dumb.
In the beginning of the twelfth century,
Gerard, Archbishop of York, made his fret
visit to Beverly, and in the church dedica-
ted to st. John sang Pontifcal Mass. He
had a-kis train a ynnth deaf and dumb
from his birth. When the Gloria began
the tongue Of the dumb youth was sud
denly loosened, and he joined with the
others in the angelic hymn. The arch
bishop being informed of the prodigy,
turned to the people after the gospel and
eaid, "See, my children, how holy, how
powerful patron must ours be, since God
Wills him to work so great a miracle for
our cake"

ST. CASARIUS, OF ARIES.


Casarius lad spent thirteen years in
religion when he fed to escape the arch
. bishopric of Aries. Trusting, however, to
Gods grace, and taking St. Augustine for
his patron, he accepted the burden, and
ruled that church forty years. He had an
extreme horror of the least wilful sin, and
aimed at perfection in all things. His first
care was to provide for the daily singing
of the Divine Office, at which he wished
the laity to assist as often as possible. He
preached himself on all Sundays and holi-
days, and prescribed spiritual reading
after Mathis and Vespers every day, '1est
his flock should faint through famine of
the word of God" His revenues, the
charge of which he left entirely to others,
were consecrated to Christ in the person
of the sick poor; and in the siege of Aries
he melted down all the sacred vessels for
their use. By his writings, and by his
presidency at the Council of Orange In 529
he caused Semi Pelagianism to be pro-
nounced heresy, and SO dealt its death
blow. He was twice driven from his see j;
but was at last set free by the Emperor
Theodoric, to whom he was brought at
Ravenna. 81 trembled," said the emperor,
"when he entered my presence. He has
the face of an angel" C9sarius went
thence to Rome, Mkere Pope Symmach1s
gave him the Pallium, and made him Vicar
of the Apostolic See. He died on the eve
of St. Augustiue's feast, 542.
st. Cesarius insisted much in hia Ser
mons on the dangers of little sins, and on
the fires of purgatory which await those
who are careless about them. He says ia
one homily: "If any think themselves
clear of the above sins, and, because they
fall not into deadly crimes, glory in per-
ilous security on account of their jnno-
cence, let them fear lest multitude of
little sins make their life burden, har-
RAISING and tormenting them like the
teasing of flies or heas. For just as we
dread fierce and deadly beasts which kill
at one bite, and shrink with horror from
tiny insects which can torment US, 80, by
Gods grace, let US redeem both our NOR
tai sins and our yenial offences (without
which we cannot live) by daily almsgivipg
or prayer, and above all by loving our
enemies with our whole heart"

ST, JOHN CAPIsTRAN.

st. John was born in 1885, at Capistrano
in the kingdom of Naples. At the age of
thirty the loss of his wife and an unjust
imprisonment opened his eyes to the vanity
ofthe world, and he entered the franciscan
convent at Perugia. On one meal day,
journey obliged him to take slight cola
tion, and with his nights rest curtailed to
three or four hours sleep upon bare boards,
he preached throughout Italy, Austria,
Poland and Hungary for nigh forty years.
Seven thousand Hussites were prevailed
upon by him to abjure their heresy, and in
one sermon he converted hundred and
twenty young men and sent them into
religion. His audience sometimes amount
ed to a hundred thousand persons. He
delivered himself in such sort that even
those who could not understand his langua-
ge were moved to amend their lives. In
l456, at the age of seventy-one, he con-
fronted the triumphant Turkish forces on
the banks of the Danube, with some
10000 crusaders, enlisted by himself,
mostly of the poorer sort, half armed, but
brimful of zeal, and brought by his exhor-
tations to state of almost religious discip-
line. These he led on, crucifx in hand,
and shouting the name of Jesus, and won a
complete victory against overwhelming
odds. He died soon after, worn out by his
exertions his one grief being that he was
not found worthy of martyrdom.
st. John Capistran's great sermons gen.
orally ended in his healing the sick that
were brought to him. AT one sermon in
Vienna be healed twenty persons. "To
t9is end" to use st. Gregory's words, "was
thls coruscation of visible miracles, that
tney might draw the hearts of beholders
70 believe in what they did not see, in
OrGer that through the display of an exter-
hsi miracle some understanding might be
ootalned of the greater miracle within"

fought by the side of Michael against the
rebel hosts, and had joined in the song of
JOY at the creation of the world. And now
he was to come down from heaven as a
shadow of the Incarnate Word, to heal
wounded hearts on earth. 1t was the time
of the captivity of Gods people in a for
eign land. The good Tobias, in the midst
Of his works of mercy among the exiles in
Nineveh, had been struck with blindness.
He did but renew his fasts, his alms, and
his prayers. Meanwhile, Sara, a pioue
maiden in far off Media, was grievousiy
tormented by demon who had slain each
of her seven husbands on bis wedding day.
In her sorrow she was Knocked and insult-
cd. But sbe too only prayed the more.
Now there came one day beautiful
youth to offer himself as guide to the
young Tobias, who had been sent on dis
tant journey by his aged father. Faith
fully aud kindly he fulfils his trust. He
saves the lad from monstrous fish by the
river Tigris, marries him to the now COM
forted Sara, brings him home in safety,
gives sight to the blind old man, ard at
length, in their transport of gratitude and
Joy, N axes himself known 81 am Raphael,
one of the seven who stand before the
Lord"
When St. Raphael first beheld the elder
Tobias he greeted him with this salutatiou :
"Gaudium est ttbi semper,-Joy be to thee
always" "What joy shall be to me, who
sit in darkness y asked the blind old man.
And the angel made answer: "Be OF good
heart thy cure frcm God is at hand"
And when again he had come back safely
from his long journey with the youth, and
they wonld both press upon him their
thanks, he says: "Bless ye the Lord ;
when thou didst pray with tears, and didst
leave thy dinner to bury the dead, l
offered thy prayer to God, and because
thou vast acceptable to God there was
need that temptation should prove thee:
And now the Lord hath sent me to heal
thee. Peace be to you. Fear not"

The monks who peopled the desert cul-

Hilarion used to visit all his brethren,
