He talked freely of his summer home,

study him. There is serious, vet
pleasant look in his fine eonntenance
that betrays a man of sensibility, and
his forehead shows the temperament

Beatification is a condition precedent
to canonization, and in the early DAYS
of the church il was conferred only
upon martyrs and pious men whose
purity of life admitted them after
death into the immediate presence of
the Deity. And it was for this reason

cludes the pope, cardinals, bishops and
prelates When the chapel is reached
the pope takes his seat upon the throne
and receives from those present the
act Of obedience. The master of cere-
monies then approaches the lower
part of the throne and asks that the
saints name be placed in the canon.
To this the pope responds that first
there must be a prayer for guidance,
and thereupon the Litany of the Saints
is said. A second time the request is
made, and with the same result,
the only difference being that
the ''Neni Creator Spiritus" is substi-
tuted for the liiany At the cone.u-
sion of this part of the service the can
onizatlon is asked for a third and last
time and the pope solemnly names the
candidate as worthy and DEGREES him
as deserving a place in the canon, also
fixing the day to be set apart in his
honor, The prothonotarY is sum
moned to call the congregation as Wit
nesses to the degree and this is fol-
lowed by the singing of the ''Te Deum
laudanius.
The canonized saints name is here
after used in the Confiteor and grafton
and then follows the absolution and
blessing.
At the offeratory there is curious
custom of laying symbolic gifts uron
the altar. The first cardinal presents
a large wax candle, which is followed
by an offering of two turtle doves in a
golden cage; the second cardinal then
advances bearing two large loayes of
bread. one gilt and the other silvered,
and the next gift is one live dove in a
silver cage; the third cardinal presents
two tiny gold TASKS of wine, and the
next offering is a large, gayIy decor
ate1 cage filed with live birds OF all
sorts AT the conclusion of the cere-
mony the pope, attended by the pro-
cession, retires to his chambers for
prayer and meditation.
1t is the custom TO bestow on the
canonized saint some new and especi-
ally characteristic name. and as there
is already st. Christopher on the cal
endar ii is possible that in the canon
ization of Columbus this may be done.
But it is curious fact that the name
Christopher means the bearer of
Christ" and in the present instance
no more appropriate title could be
chosen for the man who brought the
creed of Christ to this country. The
st. Christopher of the present canon is
by an odd coincidence the patron saint
of mariners
st. David, the patron of Wales, not
only performed miracles after his birth,
but even before it he was the SON of

dividual had its patron saint, who
could be moved by prayer to
interce1e with the Almighty on
its behalf The beatified saint was
and is in every case the patron of one
country, guild or town. but to the
canonized saint is accorded the higher
homage of the whole church. and the
ceremonial necessary to its accomplish
ment is one of the most elaborate and
expensive known to the ritual-so ex-
pensive, indeed, that though the fam
ily of Charles Borromeo desired his
canonization they were obliged TO be
content with beatifie alton because of
the enormous outlay involved in
placing his name in the canon.
The pope at the present time is
alone empowered to name the candi-
date for this high honor. but the his
tory of the rite shows that originally
the election was in the hands of the
people who selected the martyr or man
whose life and deeds seemed to deserve
the title of saint and then presented
his claims to their bishop At this
period orthodoxy was so necessary a
part of the claim that even origen and
Tertullian, great as they were, failed
70 be enrolled among the beatifed.
subsequently the authority was
vested in the pope, and it was by papal
sanction that the names of such poten-
tates as Emperor Henry !. and King
Edward, the confessor. were enrolled
in the canon of the mass. At the
time when the people made the Sc
lection the examination into
miracles sthat were said to have
been performed by the deceased

period, and it was not until the advo-
catus diabli and the advocatus del

ingly examined. The functions of
these two officials are to take the facts
