nunciation for those who may turn away

ed, and no effort is made to cOerce those
who are not willing to admit the claim.
No class of men are more fully convinced
than Catholics that ,religion, to be gen
@uine and true, must be free and cannot
be forced. In this view no class of men
are more thoroughly guarded against the
natural tendency of the human heart to
persecute or offend against the rights and
legitimate freedom Of their fellow-;nen.
Whilst they clearly know their friends
among the sects to be in error, and error
of dangerous nature and would gladly
aid them in finding truth and safety,
their work ends with tine execution of
their mission as witness bearers, or, if
it go beyond this, it changes into the mis-
SION of prayer, which puts the matter In
the hands Of God; nor will He, even to
save souls, destroy the freedom of the
will, by which they may reject, as thou
sands are daily doing, even His efforts,
great and wise as they are, to save them.
Therefore the Catholic, while he earnest
ly witnesses for the one only true church
is, nevertheless, and must always be, toll
Grant, and can never persecute those
whom he may fail to win to the truth as
a witness bearer.
= : The lessons which ought to be CLEANED
from the above are (D that Catholics
should seek to realize more and more
deeply their duty as witnesses for Christ
in His unchanged one true church, and
.(2) that our Protestant friends should
seek more and more earnestly to under
stand properly the nature Of this mission
on the part of Catholics SO as not to be
offended at what the conscience makes
necessary, and is, moreover, meant for
their eternal good.

NURSERY NEEDS.

IT SENSIBLE writer OF nursery top
les calls the attention of III others to
~ the risk of overo aution and over
Il 4 attention to their children, after
they are old enough to play and
romp about. "a child is happier with
few and simple playthings than a multi
tude Of complicated toys. There is no
such good fun or good training as making
ones self useful in doing little things like
work, and ii is cruelty to deprive the child
of this pleasure and stimulus. Let the
brain and body be trained throught the hand,
foot and eye. Give the boys a carpenters
bench; encourage the girls to do house
work. Where possible let beth boy and
girl have little garden patch, If ONLY a
few feet square, and the care of a few
plants. A woma n in her home, a man in
his garden; this seems to be a funda-
mental type from which we cannot depart,
without risk of body and mind. Cheerful
ness, sincerity, industry, perseverance and
unseifishness may be acquired by practice
and constant repetition. as much as the art
of correct speaking or playing the piano,
and are far more necessary to health"

VAGARIES IN. COL0RS.

IT YEAR or two ago when people were
supposed TO go 10 worship ard at
~ tend church parade aiterward' it
\ was the very o cme OF chic to have
the pra yerbook bound in the same
color as the dress, or the dress made to har-
monize with the prayerhook. Today the
bicycle has usurped the place OF the prayer
book. A nd in the last few weeks we have
noticed that there is a tendency to have
the bicycle painted TO match the dress.
1t Is silly practice. A bicycle should lie
serviceable and ready to face mud. Aud a
white or light gray or yellow bicycle be-
smirched with mud looks dowty. Butb.A k
is business-like. and, however muddy, COM
mandsrespect.
There are thousands of women, married
and unmarried, who have only found out
that life is full of the most delightful pleas
ure since they began TO ride bicycle" says
a correspondent. The exercise has relieved
the dreary monotony of existence and put
their lives on a higher plane. in touch with
nature. Among those who rice you do not
any longer hear Of insomnia OF ervous pros
tration. A woman gets On her wheel. and
she does rot think Of children. servants
or household cares. Her bicycle. for the time
heing. absorbs her attention, and she gets
away from herself in spite of herself, and is
all the better for it." :
