Last sacrament, For the Sick.

The Catholic Christian home Is to be
provided with articles fer the proper adj
ministration of the last sacraments.
When the priest is summoned to ad-
minister, he expects the sicliroOm to be
in order, clean and without worldly
company. The sick person should have
been notified of the priests coming and
have his person and bed clean and well
ordered. The feet, hands, etc, of the
sick person shall have been washed in
preparation for the holy amounting. A
table with white cover, furnished with
two blessed wax candles lighted, a holy
water vase, a crucitiX, a cup with some
water, Il spoon and clean towel.
When the priest enters with the bless
ed sacrament, all kneel and remain i'll
PRAYER for the sick, whom some member
of the family or pious friend ought to
have assisted before the priests arrival
in his devout preparation for the last
sacraments.
The priest should be summoned i'll
time-that is, when the person is serious
" i'll, and always in the daytime. Nigh,
sick calls ought to have the approval Of
the attendant physician.
Catholics are bound in conscience to
have the priest notified i'll due time of the
serious illness of those at home. His
visit in due time is a satisfaction all
around, and it consoles and Gains the
patient and wards off the danger of an
unprovided death.-EXchange

There was Consideration among the
trustees of the church when the KEY.
Roger Temples resignation was received,
accompanied by an earnest request that 1t
would be accepted at once, and he,be per-
mitted 10 take his departure. \ commit

but he was very firm.
II thought my talk last Sabbath would

home and friends here, for it has .been d

little good result from my presence, and
it is better that another take up the
work.
SO Roger Temple went back to his old
home.
He did not announce his coming, but
arrived quietly one winter day., .and APP
peared in the little white church on Sun
day before many of the people realized
that he was among them.
His last doubt vanished when he read
the glad surprise in their faces as he told
them that he had come to stay if they
would receive him after SO many years OF
separation, but their incredulous look
smote him anew.
''Down in my heart the memory OF my
people has held a sacred place." he said.
But | allowed other things of life to

how poor thing fame is compared wit

1t surprised him to find how full his
DAYS We're, and that he missed his old life
so little. His health, too, was better, the
pure air invigorated him-made him fee
