ST. CLEMENT OF ROME.

St. Clement is said to have been con-
vert of noble birth. The early Fathers
identified him with the Clement whose
name st. Paul declares to the Philippians
was written in the Book of Life; and
Tertullian assures us that Clement was
consecrated bishop by st. Peter himself.
Be that as it may, it is certain that he had
seen the Apostles and conversed with
them. With their divine words still ring
ing in his ears, he began to rule the Church
of God and thus he was among the first,
as he was among the most illustrious, in
the long line of those who have held the
place and power of Peter. Clement enter
ed on his high Office in evil days. He lived
at the same time and in the came city with
Domitian, the prosecutor OF the church;
and besides external foes he had to contend
with schism aud rebellion from within.
The Corinthian church was torn oy lotes-
tine strife, and its members set the author
ity of their clergy at defiance. 1t was then
that St. Clement interfered in the pleni-
tude of his apostolic authority, and sent
his famous epistle to the Chrinthlans. He
urged the duties of charity, and above all
of submission to the clergy. he dld lot
speak in vain peace and order were
restored. St. Clement had done bis work
on earth, and shortly after sealed with his
own blood the faith which he had learned ,
from Peter and taught to the nations.
Would you learn how to venerste the
teaching of the Church and of the Pope
Then look to the first days of the Church
and to the disciples of the Apostles. Al
though the Corinthians Lad sinned by
schism and rebellion, they were apPeased
when once the Pope had spoken, and they
received Clements letter almost as if it
iplTSa had been inspired. Not long. after the
middle of the second century, st. Diony.
eins tells us that in his time the epistle of
Clement was still read publicly from time
to time in the Corinthian Church, as they
also read another letter recently received
from one of st. Clements successors; and
long after we know that other churches

day and q night in hot air bath, heated
seven times its wont. But as with the
Three Children, so it was with her; "the
flames had no power over her body,
neither was hair of her head siDged."
The lictor sent to despatch her struck with
a trembling hand the three blows which
the law allowed, and left her still alive.
For two days and nights Cecilia lay with
her head half severed on the pavement of
her bath, fully sensible, and joyfully
awaiting her crown; OF the third the
agony was over, and, A. D. l7T, the virgin
Saint gave back her pure spirit to Christ.
During the triduo of st. Ceciiia's passion
the Christians came in crowds to collect
relics of her sacred blood, to beg her pray

assent and gave her his blessing. Then,
turning her face towards the ground, and
folding her hands like one in sleep, she
passed to the presence of God. Ia 1899
the body of the Saint was found in the
church of st. Cecilia in Trastevere per-

ST. ELIZABETH OF HUNGARY.

Elizabeth was daughter of king o!
Hungary, and niece of ST. Hedwige. She
was betrothed in infancy to Louis, Land
grave of Thuringia, and brought up in his
fathers court. In her fourth year she
began to spend her time in prayer, and
gave all she had to the poor; aud growing
up she increased in piety and humility,
undeterred by the reprOaches and ridicnle
Of her husbands family and courtiers. She
never left her husband without necessity,
and in his absence laid aside her royal
robes and lived in retirement. She was
the first in Germany to join the Third
Order of St. Francis. Not content with
receiving daily numbers of poor in her
palace, and relieving all in distress, she
built several hospitals, where she served
the sick, dressing the most repulsve sores
with her own hands, God rewarded her
charity with many miracles. Once, on
ner way to banquet, che gave her ducal
mantle to a poor man, and an angel restor
ed it to her. Another time, being simply
dressed, she appeared before her fathers
ambassadors in purple robe embroidered
with gold and precious stones. On her
husbands death she was cruelty driven
from her palace, and forced to wander
through the streets with her little children
prey to hunger and cold /; but she well
coined all her spfferings and continued to
be the mother of the poor, converting
many by her holy life. She died in 1881,
at the age of twenty four.
Once at st. Elisabeth was descending by
a very steep and rough path from her
castle to the town, carrying in the folde of
her mantle bread, meat, eggs and other
provisions for the poor, she met her hus
band returning from the chase. Astonshed
to see her bending under the weight of her
burden, he opened the mantle which che
kept pressed against her, and found in it
nothing but the most beautiful red and
white roses he had ever seen, although it
was not the season for flowers. He also
saw over her head luminous image, in
the form of a crucifix. Bidding her pursue
her way, be took one of the marvellous
roses, and kept it all his life.

ST. oSwIN, KING, MARTYR.

Twelve centuriee ago Oswin escended
| the throne of the fair north country pro
vince of Deira. In person he was hand
| some, tall and winning. His rnle was just,
peaceful and happy, and he loved and was
beloved by all his subjects. He found a
bosom friend In the venerable Bishop, st.
Aidap, and mortal enemy in his Jealous
and covetous neighbor, King Oswy. Each
in turn served Oswin with occasions of
virtue. At one time we find him on his
knees before St. Aidan, asking forgiveness
for hasty speech at another disbanding
Oswy's superior force. Seeing at laat that
his own death could alone pacify Oswy
and save his people, despite their tears and
the willing offer of their lives, he chose a
companion and bade them farewell. He
was pursued, betrayed and slain on the
End of August, 65l. His memory was
ever held in love and veneration. His
remains were lost sight of in the troubles
of the times, until the Saint, appearing in
glory, revealed their resting place in the
abbey of Tynemouth. Many cures were
wrought and graces obtained at his shrine.
Robert de Mowbray, follower Of William
the Conqueror, completed the church of
our Lady, into which the relics we're
with great pomp translated on the goth
of August, llO3. Oswin has always been
honored es the patron Saint of Tyne

cese on foot, at the cost of much time.
fatigue and even danger. The king,
therefore gave him a valuable horse.
Shortly afterwards the bishop, falling in
with a beggar, gave the poor man the
horse, rich trappings and all. This apps-
rently uncalled for generosity vexed the
king, and he demonstrated with st. Aidan :,
who therefore replied. "What, o king, ia

son of God ~ The king coon came to
himself, fell on his knees, and sought for

ST. EDMUND, KING, MARTYR

In s55, Ofs, King of East Anglia, anxt
ous to finish his days in holy eeclusion,
gave up his throne in favor of Edmund,
then youth of fifteen. The young king
making himself personally acquainted with
all the state affairs of his kingdom.
Though so watchful ruler, he was jealous
in devout practices, and retired for whole
year into solitude, that he might learn the
Psalter by heart. After he had reigned
peacefully and prosperously for, fifteen
years the Danes invaded England, plum
dering and destroying wherever they went,
and especially vowing destruction to
everything Christian. When they ap
preached the convent of Coldingham, St.
Ebba, the abbess, and her nuns, fearless
OF all but their purity, horribly mutitated
Themselves by cutting off their noees and
upper lips. When the barbariaps Broke in
horror struck at the spectacle, they con-
tented themselves with putting the holy
women to the swerd. Edmund resolved
to do all he could to save his own country,
raised whatever forces he could, and rout-
ed part of the invading force near Thet-
ford but fresh hordes pouring in, he saw
that resistance was vain, and as all terms
offered by the Danes were inconsistent
with his duty to God and man, he disband-
ed his troops and tried to conceal himself.
He was, however, captured and brutally
put to death, displaying the most heroic
Christian endurance to the end.
After st. Edmund was taken prisoner he
was offered his life and liberty on condi-
t1ons equally hurtfal to his country and to
religion. He, in reply, declared that re-
ligiOn was dearer to him than life, which
was worthless when bought at such a
price. Then Hingua, the Dane, not con-
tent with putting the noble king to death,
subjected him to the most terrible tortures,
Vainly hoping to shake his fortitude. He
was beaten with cudgels, then torn with
scourges, and at last bound to a tree and
shot at with arrows, until, while still liv-
ing, he was transpierced in every part. All
this the Saint bore with joy and patience,
calling on the holy name of Jesus. 1t Was
only after he had endured every possible
LOrt9re' that the Danes, weary of their
cruelty, struck of his head.

ST. JOHN OF THE CROSS.

ST. JOHN OF THE CROSS.
The father of St. John was discarded by
his kindred for marrying poor orphan,
and the Saint, thus born and nurtured in
poverty, chose it also for his portion. As
child he slept on the floor, and rose early
that be might serve at mass before going
to school, and people were moved to devo-
tion by seeing his recollectednees before
the altar. Unable to learn a trade, he
became the servant of the poor in tho hos
pitsl of Medina, while still pursuing his
sacred studies. In 1868, being then
t~enty-one, he humbly offered himself as
a lay brother to the Carmelite friars, who,
however, knowing his talents, had him Or
daiued priest. He would now have ex.
changed to the severe Carthueian Order,
had not st. Theresa, with the instinct of
Saint, persuaded him to remain and help
her in the reform of his own Order. Thus
he became the first prior of the barefooted
Carmelites. In his mystical works he
describes the Interior trials and consOla
tions Of q perfectly detached soul. His
reform thnagh approved by the general,
was tt jectsd ny the elder friars, who con-
demued the S4int "a o fugitive and apos
tate. AID caet him into prison, whence he
ouly escaped, after nine months s0ffering,
at the risk of his life. Twice again before
his death, be was shAmefuily prosecuted
by his brethren, aud PUBLICLY disgraced
But his complete abandonment by crea
lures ooly despened his interior peace and
devont longing for heaven.
When ST. John was in his last illness, he
was given the choice OF Cne of two con-
vents, where he should repair for treat
menr. The ono at Baeza was convenient
in every way, and the prior was his init
mate friend. The other, at Ubeda, was
distant and poor; and the prior, +. Diego,
was his bitter enemy. He chose the latter.
The fatigne of the journey increased the
wounds in bis leg which caused him
intense pain; yet the prior locked him
up for three months in a little cell, and
forbade him all refies Here he fTugered
till released by the Provincial few day 8
before his death, when the prior was him
self converted by his invincible patience.
Then the Saint prepared with JOY 10 die,
and crucifx in hand, with the words,
"Glory be to God y he breathed forth his
soul, A. D., 1891, being then forty nine
years old. st. Theresa says, ''He was one
