THE LENTEN SEASON.
The Value and Significance OF the Fast,
Stated By n Catholic Journal.


Stated By Catholic Journal.
1t is hardly necessary to call the at
tention of our readers to the fact that
we are once more upon the threshold
of the penitential season of Lent, OF
to remind them of the important and
essential duties which this period
imposes. at the very outset by the
solemn ceremony of the ashes, the
Church impresses on cur minds the
necessity of preparing ourselves for
THAT eternity upon the brink of which
we at all times stand tremblingly.
A moments serious reflection upon
the transformers of all thugs mum
dane, is all that is required to urge a
thoughtful mind upon the path in
which the Church lovingly and per-
sistently seeks to direct our footsteps
There are no considerations that
affect the welfare of the Christian as
intimately or as constantly as those
which touch the future life. Our
temporal interests and needs-the
weightiest and most pressing of them
are the merSst trivialities when con-
trasted with our spiritual ones. It is
the height offolly, if findeed it deserves
no stronger name, to subordinate the
urgent duties that bear upon our sal
vation to the imaginary requirement.
of our mortal state. What are busi-
ness successes and the earthly triumph
of social or intellectual effort if they
are achieved at the expense Of what
concerns the eternity Of the oul?
These are thoughts that should force
themselves upon all minds at all
times. There is no existence, no mat
ter how deeply involved in the things
Of life, that can afford to turn aside
from the chastening thoughts that
come to it of that after life which
begins with the grave. All effort and
sacrifice are absolutely wasted that do
not hinge uron the thought Of immer-
tality.
These are the considerations that
the Church urgently holds out to US in
all her teachings and ceremonies; they
are the lessons of her festivals and her.
fasts. Especially during Lent,
period of prayer and contemplation
instituted in imitation ofthe long trial
and modification self-imposed by the
Divine Saviour for the perfection of
His wonderful mission, does the
Church call upon US to give up our
minds to holy thoughts and our lives
t. holy acts. No Catholic, no matter
how callous, who will thoughtfully
ponder the significance of the holy
season, can remain Indifferent to Its
obligations. The command that calls
us to prayer and sober study of our
spiritual needs, is the command of
loving and tender mother, solicitous,
not for her own glory, but for the
glory of God and the good Of souls.
There are none us who can afford to
turn deaf ear to the summons. Not
a life time, but an eternity depends
upon our dutiful response.-Catholic

Saying Good Bye.
National Weekly.1

Every now and then, as we Journey
through this vale from the cradle to the
grave, it becomes necessary for us to
say good-by. Generally it is said in sad
ness and with sigh. We wiring the
hand of the departing friend, the sor-
rowful tears are shed, then the bell rings
and the train goes around the curve.
This is the good-by that sticks in the
throat like a large three cornered lump
and persistently refuses to be swallowed.
After this kind of a farewell we go home
feeling that something has gone out of
life. We are like the man who puts his
foot for another step at the top of the
dark stairway and finds suddenly that it
isn't there.
Then there is the farewell that is said
with hilarious chuckle of joy. We say
it to the bill collector, whom we have
with us always, or have had for long
time. We say it to the bore, the spring
poet, to the man who reads the exchanges
and to the writer who invariably refers
to a bear as bruin.
The sweetest good-by is that of the
girl at her fathers front gate, when only
you OF and the girl and twinkling stars
are present. To some of us it is only a
memory, this kind of farewell, but it
is memory that will remain fresh and
green long after we have passed that
callow age.

Lord Napier's Nerve.
rNauu Vorl, cun

The death OF Lord Napier, OF magaala,
recalls story of the old soldiers nerve
as exhibited once, in a time OF profound
peace, in India. The Sikh warriors were
famous swordsmen, and, if any one was
hardy enough to test their skill, they
could cut an apple, resting on the palm
of mans hand, clearly in two equal
pieces, so that each piece dropped sep
arately to the ground, without fraying
the skin of the outstretched hand. Per-
feet steadiness was required in the per-
son holding the apple, for if the hand
.shrank the consequences were likely to
be serious. 1t is, perhaps, needless to
say that the offer to perform this feat
was more often made than accepted.
For long time Lord Napier refused
to believe that the wild soldiers could do
this thing, and when one of them
invited him to hold the apple end wit
ness the exploit he promptly consented,
supposing that the swordsman would
finch from the undertaking; but the
Sikh had entire confidence in his own
skill. His eye, however, detected little
irregularity on the generals right palm
az it was held out, and he asked him to
present the apple in his left hand. Lord
Napier afterward said that. for the first
time in his life, he was conscious of the
sensation of fear, as the conviction
flashed upon him that the man was not
going to ''back out" However, firm as
a rock, the hand, with the apple upon it,
was extended, the sword flashed down,
and the fruit fell in two segments to the
earth. The skin was not scratched, but
its owner said he felt the keen blade
touch it, as though hair had been
broken across it. He added that, though
he was at last convinced of the Sikh
swordsman's skill, he would never again
allow one of them to test it in that way;
and he advised his officers to make the
.ame resolution 6
