ga third method OF observing the
law of self-denial is to observe the rules
proclaimed by the church. Some peo-
pie ask, would it not be much better
for the church to proclaim at large the
law OF self-denial and leave to our
selves to choose the opportunities, the
days and the methods of Practising it?
Again vile appetite is speaking. 1t
knows very we'll that ii the church only
makes general proclamations, the appe-
tite will so arrange matters that there
will never come moment for the ap-
| plication OF the law OF the church. 1t
is said, why is it so marked in Lent
that such dish is allowed and such a
one is forbidden? The church is max
ing for lis the practical application OF
the great law OF self-denial SO ncces-
sary for us that unless we do practice
it, we are not Christians and which we
are not likely to unless such practical
application is enjoincd upon us. Take
the law as the church makes it. Fri
day comes; eat no meat. On that day
Christ suffered and died Be willing to
impose on yourself some slight pain.
Lent is upon us; observe the regula-
tons OF Lent. Those regulations are
that you take in the morning only a
cup OF coffee and a small piece OF bread,
two ounces at most, at noon, one full
meal and in the evening 4 collation. not
exceeding eight ounces. The church
demands but little; as a matter OF TACT,
a healthy man does not need anything
more to sustain health than what the
church permits on day Of Lent. Let
self-denial be your rule during the sea-
son OF Lent. If even in the course of
the day you feel as the result OF the fast
something like a headache, or an
emptiness OF the stomach, do not COM
plain it is the intention OF the law that
you should suffer something. Ii you
come at the end OF the day and are able

in observing the law there would be
very little OF self-denial. Do not re-
proach the law with fulhllment OF the
very purpose it has in view. There are
exemptions from the law, the church is
very lenient. Those who work hard
need not fast. Those over sixty or TN
der twcnty-one need not fast. Many OF
you for those reasons are not bound to
the letter Of the law.
"Let all seek some opportunities for
self-denial. Here is one practice, rec
commended by our holy father, the pope
total abstinence from all Intoxicating
drinks. Let no one say that whisky or
beer is necessary for health in Lent.
You all know that whisky and beer in
| Lent and out of Lent are usually in
furious, rather than helpful, to health.

to abstain from Intoxicating liquor dur

us without our own will. How many
things disagreeablc to sense occur ev-
cry day from which we cannot substract
ourselves? There is our daily labor,
often tircsome, often harsh to nature
| There are our relations with Our fellow
men. often prompting lis to feelings oil
anger, and OF vndictivencss There are
our duties to the members OF Our fam
lily, which demand from us patience and

do under such circumstances? He is
always patient. He says to himself 1
am a sinner, and will take what comes
as punishment for my sins, and by my
calm submission l shall accustom my
lower being to sclf-control'
"Anothcr method OF sclf-denial and
modification is not only to take pa
tiently the hardsllips that come I'M
sought, but from time to time to seek
out some practices which impose SELL
denial upon lis, voluntary, freely chosen
practices. Every day there are hum
dred opportunities. To take very
common one, the appetite within you
says you ought to go into saloon and
take a glass OF liquor. Have the cour
age to say no, l will not so. l will
compel the appetite to obey me. From
time to time say a short prayer, visit
the church, recite evening prayers at
home. There is no strict obligation to
do so, but it will be an act OF penance
for you. There is ncighbor who quar-
relied with you; to do him kind act
would punish the spirit OF vindictive-
ness within you; do him the kind act,
You are taking your meals; there is
some food that you do not like as we'll

the best; the good Christian says, give
food to the body because am hungry.

ing Lent, abstain from all Intoxicating

ing Lent, abstain from all Intoxicating
drink
During Lent be more than usually
given to prayer. Keep away from vain
amusements. Attend the religious in
struction to the church; in your own
homes have the rosary recited each
evening. And while following out these
practices of self-denial, bear always in
mind the great purpose OF self-denial,
which is to keep us away from sin. Sin
is at all times dreadful; in the holy sea-
son OF Lent it puts on special circum-
stances OF iniquity, repellant to the
Christian mind and the Christian heart,
The words OF Jehovah to Israel are: Is
not this rather the fast that I have
chosen-loose the bonds of iniquity?' "

To which Cardinal Rampolla cor
daily replied that the Osscrvatore Ro-
mano only printed one column which
was official and this was devoted to re-
ligious news, adding his refusal to &C
cept responsibility for any political
views it might express and declaring
that the Holy Father always cherisEes

vicar Of TIN God of peace he desires

Lord Herries, discussing the CORE
spondencc at meeting OF the union,
declared that in religious matters the
English Catholics implicitly obeyed the
Pope, but when it came to civil gov
crrnnent tkhy took their places side by
side with their fellow countrymen.
The Times, commenting upon the
patriotism OF the many titled persons
and others who were present at the
meeting, said:
1T is a pity that Cardinal Rampolla
did not speak out palmer in view OF
the fact that the subsidized Osserva-
tore Romano all the world over, is sup
posed to represent the Pope's personal
opinions"

confluence The modern priest, just as
the ancient, follows in the footsteps OF
John the Beloved Disciple. He de-
votes himself to nobler cause than the
amassing of worldly goods that his
family may live in comfort. His bride
is the church, the kindly mother OF the
poor, who are his family. A man who
takes such obligations knowingly, and
with comprehension of their beauty and
grandeur, will not lightly renounce
them.
Celibacy is the brightest jewel in the
crown OF virtue which should adorn
the priestly brow.

they are always brighter than girls.
The questions were as follows;
What is a FAM
What is the principal use of a FAM
Why don't boys carry fans'
Why do girls chain their fans to themY
Why is a fan like a Chinese restaurant
Three minutes were given in which
