1t strikes us that Governor Emery would do
quite as well and be ever so much more pop

reasonable degree of policy; certain admis-

fetch great many desirable results that are
now apparently out of the reach of the Fed

ST. JUSTIN, MARTYR.

St. Justin was born of heather parents
at Neapolis in Samaria, about the year lob.
He was we'll educated, and gave himself to
the study of philosophy, but always with
one object, that he might learn the know
ledge of God. He sought this knowledge
among the contendiDg schools of philoso-
ply, but always in vain, till at last God
Himself appeased the thirst which He had
created. One day, while Justin was walk
ing by the seashore, meditatipg on the
thought of God, an old man met bim and
and when he had made Justin confess that
the philosophers taught nothing certain
about God, he told him of the writings of
the inspired prophets and of Jesus Christ
whom they announced, and bade him seek
light and understanding through prayer.
The Scriptures aud the coDstarcy of the
Christian martyrs led Justin from the
darkness of human reason to the light of
faith. Henceforth, as he says himself, he
gloried only in the name of Christian, and
desired only to bear it we'll. In his zeal
for the Faith he travelled to Greece, Egypt,
and Italy, gaining many to Christ. He
defended the Faith in learned books, aud
was almost the first of the many "scribes
and wise mem, whom Christ sent according
to His promiseI At Rome he sealed his
testimony with his blood, surrounded by
his disciples.
"Do you think, ,"ythe prefect said to JUS
tin, "that by dying yon will enter heaven
and be rewarded by God| 81 do not
think" was the Saints answer, 81 know"
TheD, as now, there(were many religions
opinions, but only one certainty-the GER
tainty of the Catholic Faith. This certainty
should be the measure of our confidence
and our zeal.

ST. s1s1NN1Us AND COMPANIONS.

Towards the close of the fourth century
the people of the country round Trent
were still pagaDs, and st. Virgilus, bishop
of that city, was full of apostolic zeal for
their conversion. His own duties kept him
at home ; but he found three Cappadocian
trangers-Sisinnius, Martyrius, and Alex
ander-ready for the work he had at heart.
He ordained Sisinnius deacon, gave minor
orders to Martyrius and Alexander, and
then sent them forth to preach the Gospel
of peace. Converts were made, and the
first Christian church arose; but God willed
that it's walls should be cemented with the
blood of the missionere. The heathens
tried to make the Christian converts join
them in an ldolatrsus procession through
the felds, and when the missioners for
oade this they rushed in fury to the church.
ut was evening when they made their as-
the praises of God. They were beaten
with cudgels, and Sisinnius died that night.
But next morning his two companions were
again in the church and again sio ging the Di.
vine ONCE, as ifnOthiDg had occurred. They
t1ed as the pagans entered. Martyrius was
discovered in garden hard by, and drag
ged over sharp stones till he expired.
Alexander saw the dead bodies of his two
companions burnt, and when he refused to
deny Christ was himself thrown into the
flames.
The apostles of the Faith triumph by
defeat. Even the ashes of st. Sisinnius
gave light to the blind-R token of the
spiritual light which was to visit those
among whom he had labored, and who sat
as yet in darkness and in the shadow of
death. Shortly after his martyrdom the
people of Milan received his relics with great
devotion, and in the crowd there was
blind man who had come all the way from
Dalmatia. A vision had sent him on this
long journey to meet the relics of St. ST.
slnnius, and bis journey was not in vain.
he touched the case in which the relics
were borne and received his sight.

MORNING STAR CATHOLIC REssENGER SUNDAY

tormented q whole day through, but she
bore it all with joy till the executioners
gave mp, confessing themselves outdone.
Red hot plates were held to the sides Of
Sanctus, deacon of Vienne, till his body
became one great sore, aud he looked like
man no longer but in the midst of his
tortures he was "bedewed and strengthened
by the stream of heavenly water which
flows frem the side of Christ"
Meantime, many confessors were kept in
prison, aud with them were some who had
been terrified into apostasy. Even the
heathens marked the joy of msrtyrdom in
the Christians who were decked for their
eternal eapousals, and the misery of the
apostates. But the faithful cOnfessors
brought back tbose who had fallen, and the
Church, that Virgin Mother" rejoiced
when che saw her children live again to
Christ. Some died in prison, the rest were
martyred one by one; st. Blaudina last of
all, after seeing her young brother put to
a cruel death, and encouraging him to vic
tory.
Ia her torture st. B,andina kept saying
to herself, 81 am Christian" and in those
words che found strength and rest, and
balm that Geadened pain. We must suffer
aud we must die. May it be our joy to
know that we are Christians that We have
lived and that we die in the faith aud love
of Christ.

VENERABLE CESAR DE BUS.

After a blameless youth Caesar de Bus
fought under Charles TX against the here
tics in Provence, and preserved his inno-
cence unsullied amidst all the license of
war. When peace was made he repaired
to Paris, and there gradually lost his fervor
and fell into evil ways. Two holy persons
determined to pray for his return to God,
and their prayers were heard. One day he
left his house on some purpose of pleasure
and fell fainting to the ground. This was
the moment of his conversion. 1t cost him
much to confess Christ where he had hith-
erto denied Him, but by the grace of God
he triumphed over his fear of the world,
and became a priest. With the help of
Archb bishop Tarugi, the disciple of st Phil
ip Neri, he founded at Avignon the Con-
gregation of Christian Doctrine, a commu-
nifty of secular priests for the education of
the poor. Fiery trials tested his constancy,
Some of his subjects rebelled and deserted
him. For twenty five years he was haunted
with the memories of his evil life, and while
thus tempted became completely blind, 30
that he lost his one consolation, the Holy
Mass. But Cesar bore all his sufferings
in penance for the past, and when the devil
reproached him on his deathbed with his
former sins, the dying Saint replied, "True,
have sinned, but I have since borne
the cross." He died A. d. 1907.
Caesar, after his conversion, went away
to Avignon to gain the Jubilee there. Some
of his old friends, ignorant of his change,
CHANGING to meet him, invited him to a
ball. He consented through human respect,
and found himself again in the midst of
dissipation instead of beginning his pen
auce. Stung by remorse of conscience, he
stole away unperceived, and on his way
home passed convent of Poor Claree, who
were chanting their midnight mathis.
Their sweet voices sounded like heavenly
music after the strains of revelry which
were still grating on his ear, and he re.
solved boldly to confess his Lord. An
opportunity soon occurred. One day when
he was in Church, the sacrstan called him
to accompany the Blessed Sacrament to
sick man. Caesar was in his court dress,
with plumed hat aud rapier but he took
the taper, faced the eneers of his old COM
panions whom he passed in the street, and
completed his conversion.

tion at the entrance to the hive, and when

at 1t with her paws. This went on for a
time without attracting the special atten =
tion Of the inhabitants of the hive. Pres
emily, however, sold tsbby" struck and
crushed bee on the edge of the opening
to the hive. The emell of the crushed bee
alarmed and enraged the whole swarm.
Bees by the score poured forth and darted
into the fur of the astonished cat. Tabby
rolled herself in the grass, epittiug, sput-
tering, biting, clawing, and squalling as
cat never equalled before. She appeared a
mere ball of fur and bees as she rolled and
tumbled about. She was at length hauled
away from the hive with a garden rake, at
the cost of several severe stings to her
rescoe-. Even after she had been taken to
a distant part of the grounds the bees stuck
in Tabby's fur, and about once in two
minutes sho would utter an upesrthly
'yowP and bounce 8 full yard in the ar.
On coming down she would try and scratch
an ear, when sting on the back would
cause her to turn "a succession of back
of squalls. Like the parrot who was left
alone with the monkey, old Tabby had a
dreadful time. Two or three days after
this adventure, Tabby was caught by her
owner, who took her by the neck and
threw her down near the bee hive. No
sooner did che strike the ground than she
gave fearful equal, and at n single bound
reached the top OF fence full six feet in
height. There she clung for q moment,
with tail as big as rolling pin, when with
another bound aGd squall, she wac out OF
sight and did not again pnt IN an appear

MINIATURE LIVES OF THE SAINTS.

ST. BADEMUS, MARTYR.
May 81

Towards the end of Sapor's reign, about
the year 377, persecution was still raging
against the Christians in Persia. Nersan,
q prince of that empire, was among the
confessors, but he failed under torment,
and became an apostate inatead of mer-
tyr. This, however, was but the beginning
Of his misery. He had denied Christ for
love of life. Love of money was his next
temptation, and he was now without the
strength to resist it. 1t happened that q
great confessor, Bademus, was in prison at
the came time and when the emperor
heard of Nersan's fall, he bade the officers
lead Bademps to Nersan's cell, and offer
the latter liberty and wealth if he would
slsy the Saint. Nersan took the sword into
his hand but he trembled as he advanced,
till at last he stood still, mastered by re-
morse. He was a layma Bsdemus, the
sbbot of monastery. He was about to
commit murder for avarice Bademus had
left rank and wealth for the poverty of
religious life. He was an apostate Bade-
mus all but q martyr. The Saint himself
was touched with pity. Poor man. he
said, am ready to die, but not at your
hands, But it was all in vain. Again and
again Nersan struck Bademus with trem
bling hand till the work was done. The
chalice of Nersan's iniquity was full, and
the martyr's sacrifice complete.
Even in this world no peace or happiness
is to be found save in the service of God.
And those who desert this blessed service
open the fioodgates of misery. The very
heather were struck with amazement at
the patience asd trarq rquility of Bademus
while he was hacked and mangled by the
unsteady hand of Nersan, and devout men
collected the relics of Bademus, preserving
them for the veneration of the faithful.
Nersan did not live to enjoy his i'll got: en-
wealth. He was overtaken by the ven
geance of God, and perisheds miserably by
the same kind of death which he had in
hicted on st. Bademus

ST. FERDINAND, KING.

Ferdinand was son of Alfonso, King oi
Leon, and cousin to st. Louis of France
When he was nineteen his mother resigned
to him the crown of CASTLE, aud his train i
ing for his work in the Church began. Not
withstapding rebellion amongst his su b.
jects and the hostility of his own father,
Ferdinand secured his throne and entered
upon the fulfilment of his hearts desire,
tho expulsion of the Moslem from Spain.
Every spring, after spending the winter
with his family, he took the field. By his
skill and daring, aud by his earnest pray
era to the Mother of God, the chief cities
of Spain were wrested one by one from the
polluted grasp of tho InfideIs, who either
fed or became his vassals. In each newly
captured city he replaced the Crescent by
the Cross and with the spoils of his con
quests founded bishoprics and built and
restored churches, converts, and hospitals
When at lasHSeville fell, the richest strong
hold of the Moors, the governor said that
it was useless to fight against Saint who
had God on his side. Ferdinand was pre-
pairing to follow the intidels into their own
land, when he was seized with his last ILL
ness. He flung himself on his knees, with
a cord round his neck, to receive the Holy
Viaticum, and died with his blessed taper
in his hand on May 30:h, 1852, the model of
Christian soldier and q sanity king.
The zeal of this holy king was no passing
enthusiasm, but solid love of God, attained,
as we may attain 1t. by modification,
prayer, and devotion to our Blessed Lady.
Ferdinand had one image of Mary carried
in his army and wore another on his breast.
He often spent the night in prayer; he
would never oppress lis people under pre-
tence of devotion. 81 fear more," he said,
"the curse of one poor old woman than
the whole army of the Moors." This true
zeal rendered him 30 dear to God that once,
when the Christians were erga aged at-Xeres
with troop of infidels six times their
number, the Apostle st. James, patron of
Spain, fought visibly for them, and they
won the victory with scarcely any lose. So
let all Thy enemies perish, Lordl

ST. ANGELA NIERICI.

Angela Merici was born in I474. From
her earliest years she practised the most
cruel austerities and was granted ia re-
ward familiar intimacy with the Saints and
Angels. Having learpt in o vision that she
was to found, a society for the instruction
of the young, she entered the Third Order
of St. Francis, and prepared by redou bled
penances for her mission. Persons from
all parts came to visit the holy maiden,
who in her twenty fourth year spoke with
a more than human wisdom, and lived
almost like An angel on the Bread of Heav-
en- alone. Yet these favors brought her no
nearer the fulfilment of her holy project.
Her youth and prime passed by, while war
and troublous times both prevented its
execution and increased it's need. 1t was
not till 1885, after forty long years of dis
couragement and delay, that Angela was
lay the first foundation of her institution.
Her children, she says in the rules, are to
be true virgins of Christ, living in their
own homes, but sacrificing shemselves for
the poor, the ignorant, and the afflicted, as
Christ their spouse had given himself for
them. Then, that her own name might
remain unknown, she placed the institute
under the care of st. Ursula. The society
was still in its infancy when Angela was
summoned to her reward. She died A. d.
1910, leaving her children with perfect
confidence in the hands of Jesus Christ.
To will ia for us; to accomplish for God,
who chooses the times and the means.
After Angela's death her children were
gathered into communities and established
as the Ursuline Order, which is now spread
over the old and new world.
During her long period of uncertainty,
Angela started on pilgrimage to the Holy
Land to obtain light from God. When off
Crete sbe was suddenly struck with blind
ness. She visited, however, the Holy
Places, and the keenness of her faith made
good her want of sight. On the homeward
voyage her sight was miraculonsly restored.
When the vessel was almost lost, Augela's
perfect calm inspired the very sailors with
heart and courage. And when. on her
landing in Italy, Pope Clement VII offered
her an asylum in Rome, Angela preferred
to return to Brescia, and wait there till
God should make known His will.
