A Priests Sacrifice

The following story Of devotion and
self sacrifice is taken from the Bridgend
(Wales) Chronicles; FEATHER Green,
who was stationed dt Bridgend for ten
years, built the church at Aberkenfig.
and literally saved the cost in five
years out of his small income. This was
accomplished IN tho following extra
ordinary manner. For the whole period
of Ave years he dispensed with the SER
vices of housekeeper and living on q
shilling day. To keep down expenses
to this modest amount he would often
go without his supper. He made his
bed, cooked his food, and did all his
domestic work in order to defraY the
cost Of the building which was reared
to the glory Of God. Not a penny was
received from anybody's hand by way
of help, because no help was asked. ]"
.''This, adds the Chronicle, is the simple
story of a noble deed, or rather success
sion Of deeds. It is an illustration Of
self abnegatlon with which the Catholic
Church is being built up by the Gath
Ole clergy throug hont the country. =

The Sign Of the Gross.

Catholics cling to the cross as the sign
of redemption. That sign IS the mark
of Ch,ist. For thatreason we revere it.
Listen to this account Of how 1t has
been vsnerated.
The devotion of the early Christians
to the Sign of the Cross was extraordi-
nary, and it attests the power they
found to dwellin it. st. Cyprian, Bishop
of Carthage, cries: 20 Lord, Thou
hast bequeathed to US three imperish-
able things: the chalice of Thy Blood.
the Sign Of the Cross, and the example
of Thy suffering!" Tertullian bears Wit
ness to the frequent use of the Sign of
the Cross by the Christians of the early
days. lat every motion," he says,
land every step, entering in or going
out, when dressing, bathing, going to
meals, lighting the lamps, sleeping or
sitting, whatever we do, or witherso-
ever we go, we mark our foreheads with
the Sign Of the Cross" St. Basil writes:
To make the sign of the Gross over
those who place their hopes in Jesus
Christ is the first and best known thing
among us. Not to mention others. St.
Gaudentius says: ''Let the Sign of the
Cross be continually made on the heart,
on the mouth, on the forehead, at table,
at the bath, IN bed, coming in and going
out, speaking, walking-in short, in all
our actions. Let us make 1t on our
breasts and all our members, that we
may be entirely covered with this in
yincible armor of Christians" The
writings of tue Fathers abound in slml~
lar passages. --.
