his usual work, retlreS for some time to
religious house, and gives himself over
exclusively to devotions. He is on re-
treat. Some have described it as re-
ligious revival. The description is not
complete. 1t is that and more. There
is not much of emotional Christianity
in clerical retreat. 1t admits of but
little eloquence and of less enthusiasm,
save such as is of subdued nature.
There is not much room in it for intel
lectual fireworks: there is boundleSS
eXpanse for solid appeal to common
sense. Whilst clergymen like to hear
the great truths propounded in polished
periods, they are too experienced to be
carried away by rhetorical fiourishes,
which convey no thought. / have sal id
that retreat means much more than
religious revival. 1t means that whose
follows its exercises should listen, re-
fleet, examine, resolve. This implies
that he must hearken to what the
spiritual director says. he must reflect
upon it, he must examine his life since
his last retreats and he must resolve to i'm
prove upon that life. This is not an easy
work, for unfortunately there is roam
for improvement in every man, be his
life ever so holy or his calling ever so
sacred. And after the clergyman has
paid proper attention to his personal
relations with the Divinity, he turns his
thoughts towards his fellow man. AS
pastor he is grieved by the gossip of
the giggling, he is worried by the
wrangles of the church choir. he is
haunted by the harrassing thought of
delinquent pew rents and debts to be
paid. In the face of these and many

customed to help suffering humanity.
At other times of the day those dark
robed gentlemen might be seen meeting
each other on the same grounds. extend
ing cordial greetings and hearty hand
shakes. which, if not quite in accord
ance with the latest imported form,
could certainly not be found
fault with as lacking sincerity and
force. 1t is evident that they
have not seen each other for long
time; it is equally evident that they are
very glad to meet and exchange pleas
antries or condolences OF cares, as the
case may be. But why does each one
walk alone and silent during the greater
part of the day? Why does he pass his
neighbor by without speaking to him,
without even looking at him? What is
the msaning of that severely serious ex-
preston of face which every man of
them wears, as though he were grap-
pliDg with solemn problem? That
strange scene becomes quite ineligible,
and the answers to these questions en-
tirely evident, when we are reminded
that the clergy of the archdiocese of st.
Paul are making their annual retreat.
A Retreat.
The word retreat is very good illus
tration of the powerlessness of lam
guage = even of that splendidly de-
veloped and developing tongue, the
English language-to convey an ade-
quate idea with one word. For to the
poet that word cOniureS uD an idea of a

MANY VERY REMARKABLE MEN.

The visitor to Merriam Park could not
help noticing strange scene which was
enacted last week in its educational dis
trict. It is not that the fine. solid, yet
splendid buildings which make up the
Hill seminary sprang up in single
night. for things which are of mush-
room growth do not last for all time.
Nor is it that st. Thomas, now vener-
able yet still youthful, is afraid of a
proud rival in the newer educational
home by the banks of the Mississippi.
For of these two establishments one
may well say what Lougfellow said
about two very different creations:
"Useless each without the other"
The visitors eyes fall upon number
cf cassocked gentlemen of various ages
from twenty-three to eighty. He sees
them at different hours of the day and
under varying circumstances. Some
times he sees them walk singly through
the spacious grounds of st. Thomas
seminary, their faces set and serious,
and for the most part benevolent look

other discouragements he knows that
his duty is to make men better, be the
task ever SO hopeless.
Like most things in the old historic
church the spiritual retreat is form of
devotion remarkable for It's venerable
antiquity. 1t dates back to the apos-
tolic ages when, as the ''Acts of the
Apostles" inform us, Peter. John.
James, Andrew, Philip, Thomas,
Bartholomew Matthew. James, ,Alpheus,
Simon Zelotes and Jude retired to an
upper room in Jerusalem and spent
their time in prayer until the descent
of the Holy Spirit. Learned pontiffs
like Benedict the Fourteenth insist
strongly upon the necessity of a spirit
ual retreat for the priests, bishops
order it as best they can and writer of
ascetlcal theology says that "a priest
who does not make retreat often is in
no better condition than merchant
who never takes stock. Business
bankruptcy is the lot of the latter,
whilst spiritual ruin stares the former
in the face.
In the Archdiocese.
The wisdom of the old church is
shown by its retention and encourage
ment of this apparently antiquated
piece of spiritual mechanism. Without
it the rigid discipline of the Catholic
church were an impossibility even with
it men who are engaged in multiple
ity of affairs have no little ado to box
carefully the compass of conscience.
The clergy of every diocese do not have
an opportunity for this annual over
hauling of themselves. But here in the
diocese of st. Paul there is no rule in
sisted upon with more strlctness, and
there is no diocesan law more severe in
its exclusion of what Blackstone and
the moralists call epikeia. than that
which bids priests to be present at
the annual retreat. The excuse of
its occurring in the middle Of ones
