founded her desire with ability. She
was sure that she could do whae she
wanted to do.
OF course any one of US would prefer
to sit in a well-lighted studio or q COM
Portable library and evolve paintings or
novels to astonish the world. but the
plain prosaic fact remains that success
is only for tine woman whose talents

of the other strugglers, and thus COM

write and can cook, let her choose what
she can do. H
And that reminds me of n girl
brought up in a New England town,
well educated and we'll bred, whose
wealthy and fashionable acquaintance
did not deter her from choosing a prac-
teal career. She took a course in do
nestle science. She learned to cook, to
analyze foods, studied sanitary condi-
lions, etc. She has entered into the
subject so thoroughly that some Of her
friends have become interested, and
outside of her regular work she has
private classes.

CHAPTER XXI.

On the consideration of human
mercy:
Wretched art thou wherever thou art
and wherever thou turn thee, unless
thou turn myself to God.
Why art thou troubled that things go
not with thee as thou wishest and de-
sirest?
Who is there that hath all things ae-
cording to his will? Neither 1 nor thou
nor any man on earth. There is no man
in the world without some trouble or
affliction, be he King or Pope.
Who, then, is the best off? Truly he
that is able to suffer something for the
love of God.
Weak-minded and inconstant people
often say: See what a happy life that
man leadethi How rich he is: how
great, how powerful and exalted! But
take heed to heavenly riches and thou
wilt see that all these temporal ones are
nothing; yea, most uncertain, and rath-
err a heavy burden, since thew never are
possessed without solicitude and fear.
Mans happiness is not having tenn
poral goods in abundance; but a, mod
crate portion is sufficient for him.
Truly it is a misery to live upon earth
The more a man desireth to be snirit-
ual, the more distasteful doth this pres
ent life become to him, for he the better
underStdndeth, ana more clearly Seeth
the defects of human corruption.
For to eat, to drink, to watch. to
sleep, to rest, to labor and to be subject
to the other necessities of nature, truly
is a. great misery and affection to a, de-
vout man, who longeth to be released,
and to have done with all sin.
For the interior man is greatly weigh
ed down by the necessities of the body
in this life. Hence the Prophet devout-
ly prayeth that he may be free from
them, saying:
From my necessities deliver me, oh,
Lord"
But woe to them that know not their
own misery, and still more woe to them
that make this wretched and perishable
life the object of their love-
For some there are to cling to it so
closely Though even by laboring or by
begging they hardly have bare necessi-
ties) that could they live here always.
they would care nothing for the King
dom Of God
Oh, senseless people! And unbeIiev-
ing in heart, to lie buried so deep in
earth things, as to relish nothing but
what is carnal!
Miserable men! Yet while, and in.
the end they will feel bitterly what

rHE SACRED HEART.

Sweet Heart of Jesusi haven where the
Repose in peace from toll and misery! :
I've wandered long Ger regions dark anu
But now come to find home in Thee!
o loving Savior, let me rest
My head upon Thy Sacred Breast!
Sweet Heart of Jesus! as the stag at

My soul set free from every mortal fetter,

worthless thing and nothing it was that
they have been loving.
But the Saints of God and all devot-
ed friends of Christ looked not to what
pleased the flesh, nor to what fOuriShed
for the time of this life; but all their
hopes and aims aspired after the good
things that are eternal.
All their desires rendered upwards to
the things everlasting and invisible, for
fear lest by the love of things visible
they should be dragged down to things
below.
Lose not, brother, thy confidence of
making spiritual progress; thou hast
yet time-the hour is not yet passed.
Why wilt thou put off thy purpose from
day to day? Arise and begin this very
instant, and say: Now is the time to
do now is the time to fight, now is the
proper time to amend they life.
When thou art troubled and afflicted
then is the time of merit.
Thou must pass through fire and
water before thou come to refreshment
Except thou do violence to thyself,
thou wilt not overcome vice.
AS long as we carry about this frail
body, we cannot be free from sin, nor
live without WEAKNESS and sorrow.
Faini would we be at rest from all
misery; but since we have lost limo
cence through sin, we have lost also
true blessedness.
We must therefore have patience, and
wait Gods mercy, till iniquity pass
away and this mortality be swallowed
up in life. Oh, how great is human
frailty, which is ever prone to vice!
Today thou confessest thy sins, and
tomorrow thou again committest what
thou didst confess.
Now thou purposest to be upon thy
guard, and an hour after thou art act
ing as if thou hadst no resolution.
Justly, then, may we humble our
selves, and never think anything great
of ourselves; since we are so frail and
unstable.
And even what we have at last just
acquired through grace and with great
labor, may soon be lost through negli-
gence.
What will become of US in the end, if
we begin so early to grow lukewarm?
Woe to us if we thus wish to turn
aside to rest, as if there were already
peace and security, where there does
not as yet appear a trace of true holi-
ness in our department.!
Very useful would it be for US to be
yet instructed. like good novices, to the
highest morality-if, haply, there
might be hope of some future improve
ment and greater spiritual progress.

Unstintingly.

From day to day.

AS shining sands

No matter for the heartaches,

Just whistle them away.
