truly the most noticeable thing about
ChriSt, Our Lord, was His tenderness.
be dld, indeed, remember the day of
His childhood, and in His heart He
was always young. He loved little chill
dren because they knew how to love
better than anyone else. AS He watch
ed them playing about Him, singing
and froliclling with each other, He
would say: "They are of My Fathers
house; they are of the Kingdom of
Heaven, because they know what pure
joy is
Whenever there were any children
about He would call them to Him and
they would fly to his loving arms, and
the mothers would bring their babies
Tor Him to touch and kiss, for He felt
that they loved Him even more than
they, for He knew so well how to love-
what did He see when He looked in
to the sweet face of a child?
he saw back of the eyes, deep down
IN the heart, the pure child of God
which dwellS in each one of us, and He
told all the people that they must be-
come again as this beautiful child be-
fore they would know what the King
dom Of Heaven was; and when they
kept their hearts pure as a little child
they would know God and dwell with
Him.
He taught everyone of US to look into
each others eyes and seek the pure
child of God there. Think if We did
this always! We would find all our
friends in the heaven within, and then
we would have the Kingdom of Heaven
without and all about us. He told us
we must do this when He taught US
to pray, Thy Kingdom come on earth. :"
Each one of US must do his share to
help it to come

BOOK 3.-CHAPTER TX.

Son, 1 must be thy supreme and Ill
innate end, if thou desirest to be truly
happy. By this intention shall thy af-
fections be purified, which too often
are irregularly bent upon thyself and
things created.
For if in anything thou seekest thy
self, thou presently ssaintest away with
in thyseff and groweth dry.
Principally, therefore, refer all things
to Me, for it is 1 that have given thee
all.
Consider each thing as flowing from
the Sovereign Good and, therefore, all
must be returned to Me, as to their
origin.
q Out of Me both little and great,
poor and rich, as out of a living foun-
tain, draw living water; and they who
freely and willingly serve Me shall re-
ceive grace for grace.
But to who would glory in anything
else beside Me. or delight in any good
as his own, shall not be established in
true joy, nor enlarged in his heart, but
in many ways shall be impeded and
straitened.
Therefore thou must not ascribe any
good to thyself, nor attribute virtue
to any man. but give all to God, with
out whom man has nothing.
1 have given all; will also have all
again; and with great structures do L
require a return of thanks.
8. This is that truth by which all
vain glory is put to flight.
, And if heavenly grace and true char
ity come in, there shall be no envy nor
narrowness of heart, nor shall self-love
keep possession.
For divine charity overconleth all and
enlargeth all the power of the soul
If thou art truly wise, thou wilt re-
iofce in Me alone, thou wilt hope in
Me alone; for none is good but God
alone. who Isl to be praised above all
and to be blessed in ALL

NEATNEsS IN GIRLS.

Neatness is a good thing for a girl,
and if she does not learn it when she
Is young, she never will.
1t takes a great deal more neatness
to make a girl look well than it does to
make the boy look passable; not be-
cause the boy, to start with, is better
looking than girl, but his clothes are
of a different sort, not so many colers
in them, and people don't expect a
boy to look so pretty as a girl.
A girl that is not neatly dressed is
called a sloven, and no one likes to
look at her.
Her face may be pretty, her eyes
bright: but if there is spot of dirt on
her cheek, and her finger ends black
with ink, and her shoes are not laced
or buttoned up, and her apron IS
dirty, and her collar is unbuttoned, and
her skirt is torn, she cannot be liked.
Learn to be neat, and, when you
have learned it, it will almost take
care Of itself.

Everyone has his cross, and even the
most peaceful clustered nun has her
burden to bear, fitted to her strength.
No, Mary; your place is at nome.
There you have a work to DO. You
must not avoid it, or do it partly. 1t
is a temptation to think that you are
called away from your plain duty in
order to become holy here. Sanctity
yourself in your fathers house. Nor
tify your will Be patient. Do your
duty. Your father needs you. Your
ailing mother needs. Your brothers
and sisters need you. Your course is
clear. Go back, with the resolution to
fulfill the hopes that were formed for
you. Make a new beginning. Start
your school again. Do the work that is
at your hand, and do it with all your
might; and some day, six years or so
from now, if you then still believe that
you have q vocation to be Sister,
may agree with you.

ing Mary to her, for tears were falling

words kindly, for they are well meant.

is to show you your duty, and encour-

CRACKED ANYWAY.

CBy Charles q. Crane)
There was a little fellow
Who had a naughty way,
Of breaking almost everything
When he was at play.
Most every day he'd something break;
How mamma then would scold,
And tell him Ger and Ger again,
The story now so old.
But when his mamma scolded him
He'd always surely say:
I'm sorry that l broke 1t, but
Twas cracked some, anyway"
So, once, when running down the stairs,
He stubbed his toe and fell,
And then of course his tiny head
At once began to swell.
His mamma then exclaimed to him:
II fear you broke your head!
"WelI it was cracked some, anyway"
The little fellow said.

immaculate Without a stain
How can we rightly greet thee!
o, Mary, 1. thy child, were fam
To suffer all to meet thee;
Anear thy favored lot to be
Gods chosen Maid of Galilee!
To greet the one who when on earth,
Through trials worse than ours,
Walked "undefiled'' even from her birth
Till thorns were changed to flowers
Till Jesus came her heart to claim,
And render spotless Mary's name.
And now throughout each earthly place
That Christians enter in,
We hail our Mother, Full of grace,
Conceived without sin.
And, through her love, we all await
An entrance at the heavenly gate.

Whenever mamma sings.

And say once more, good night!

a GENTLEMAN.

Let no boy think he can make a gen.
tleman by the clothes he wears. by the
horse he rides, the stick he carries, the
dog that trots after him, the house he
lives in, or the money he spends. Not
one or all these do it-and yet every
boy may be a gentleman. He may
wear an old hat, cheap clothes, live in
a poor house, and spend but little
money. But how? By being true,
manly, and honorable. BY keeping
himself neat and respectable. BY be-
ing civil and courteous By respecting
himself and others. By doing the best
he knows how, and, finally, and above
all, by fearing God and keeping his
commandments.

DUTY.

Straight and firm mark out the furrow,
Drop therein the golden grain;
Do thy task and rise tomorrow,
Ready to begin again
One day like another passing,
Acts and deeds of little show;
Garnered seeds may be amasSing,
Whence the harvest field shall grow.
Bravely. then, the ploughshare driving,
Faint not, nor withdraw thy hand;
Duties done by earnest striving
Leave their traces DER the land.
Hard the labor, few the pleasures,
Dull the task no others share;
But each step that duty measures
Leads US up golden stair.
