THE RISING sfAR.

Felix discharged his duties with the
best success. He understood how to
appease the irritated minds of the cler-
gy, sometimes fattering their vanity by
addressing them as co-llborers in the
great work in which the Pope was en-
gagged, and sometimes appealing to their
religious sentiments with great effect
His fame spread throughout Germany,
and all the superior BISHOPS of trouble
some dioceses were delighted when he
came to their succor His valuable ser
vices as papal nuncio were accordingly
rewarded by the Pope, While yet on
his travels promotions and honors were
conferred upon him, and he rose like
shining meteor in the services Of his
church.
At that time there commenced the
struggle between the Pope and the Ger
man Emperor and it was Of the great
est Importance to the interests Of the
former that the German Princes should
revolt against the authority of their
licgc lord, The efforts of Felix in this
direction wrought wonders When his
object was attained he purposed to re-
turn to Rome but he received the nom
mation Of Bishop of Roverido, with the
advice not TO discontinue his journey
through Germany. Two years after

the Girl seriously sick and entirely un-
conscious All in the house went in
search of Elchanan. but in vain he
could not be found anywhere The
alarming news soon spread in the whole
community: continued search was made
the Mayor Of the city and the Arch
bishop were notified of the occurrence,
Il price was proclaimed for the one who
would discover anything about the lost
child, messengers were sent in all dircc-
tions but of no avail. The only person
who could give any information was ly,
ing unconscious, and all that could be
obtained from her was a meaningless,
mad smile
On the second New Years day, when
the reader commenced to recite the
newly y-composed hymn of Rabbi Sine
on FL chanun nochlotho beuoom
lchoSIpor,' the unhappy father sobbed
loudly. for it reminded him too forcibly
of his beloved child. There was not an
eye in the whole congregation that did
not she'd tears of sympathy with the
honored and bereaved Rabbi In the
glory of the ladies, Bella tainted away,
and it took considerable time before she
was restored and could be taken home
At the close of the service, however,
Rabbi Simeon so far controlled himself
wife. The extreme piety of the bereft
parents enabled them to bear their mis-
fortune with fortitude and resignation.
Margaret died few days after these
occurrences, under the care of Father
Thomas, who had watched at her bed
side since he had been notified of her
sickness.

interested himself especially in the cdu-
cation Of the bright and hopeful boy.
Thus Felix grew up in the circle of the
Papal court, where arts and sciences
were cultivated to a great extent. When
he had attained the age of nine years.
his patron Ilildebrand succeeded to the
apostolic See under the appcllation of
Gregory VII. With this event com
menced a very exciting period in the
history of Papacy The ideas which
llildebrand conceived while yet hum
BILE monk. he designed to carry out as
Pope Gregory VII. His great plan was
to establish a theocracy on the principle
that the Pope, as representative of God
