STORY OF ST. JOSEPH.
Touching Tale Told by a Priest in
the Country of the Beers.

Father O'Haire, well known as hav-
ing spent many years in South Africa
as a missionary. recently told the fol-
lowing thrilling story:
During several of the twelve years
/ spent in Africa / had under my pas
tOral care the sole charge of district
as large as England Periodically
made a visitation of my scattered
flock On one Of these vast excursions
lost my way, and found myself wan
dering without the slightest idea Of
the locality. l could see no one. 1t
was a season of drouth; no rain had
fallen and my horses were scarcely able
10 drag along my cart for want of
water. AT length l came TO a BOer
farm. in this. 10 me. unknown valley.
The whole country was scorched. There
was, however. waterdam near the
house; approaching the Dutch farmer,
] told him my story and asked him if
he would allow my horses to drink;
permission was given. told the farmer
] was a Catholic priest; he was a Pro-
testant. "Oh. then" he said. IF you
go in the out house you will find
laboTeT who is dying-he is a Catho-
lie"
I entered there and found the poor
fellow a client of st. Joseph, near
death. When l told him ] was a Cath
olic priest OF the district of "Cudts-
horn,' one hundred and fifty miles
away, he lifted his wasted body and
exclaimed, in accents of deepest graf
itude:
"Ah, St. Joseph, knew you would
send me a priest, so as TO give me COM
fort before I die"
What has st. Joseph to do with the
natter / asked, and here is his story:
When boy in Ireland, my mother,
a good Catholic, taught me to say.
every day, st Joseph, pray for me |
that may die happy death | have |
never for one day neglected that |
prayer. | made my first communion |

year 1871, when the naughty chancellor
undertook his lamentable mission to
destroy the influence of the church
there were but three newspapers in
Germany. When, however, in 1878, the
laity came to the rescue of the church
and realized the immense advantage of
a good Catholic newspaper. they began
TO multiply, and today there are over
800 Catholic newspapers in the German
empire.
Let the Catholic laity, the lay apos-
tolste, exercise their influence in jour
nalism. Let them come to the rescue
of the Catholic press and make it a
vehicle for the propagation of truth
and the opposition of falsehood. This
great, vast and impetuous democracy
needs a steady hand, fixed principles
and the leadership of men whose fore
fathers laid the corner-stones of en-
pires and made them glorious. Arise.
then, o young lay apostolate in Amer
lea, and God speed you!

''The Devil in Robesn-A Vile Book.

The Continental Bible house in st.
Louis sent circular to a station mas
ter in Missouri, asking him to be agent
for their book, The Devil in Robes"
and the station master sent it to a
Catholic paper in St. Louis. From the
synopsis, the book must be a most inn
moral and villainous publication. If
gives what is called the oath which
every priest must take on ordination.
In IL ne swears neither to spare age nor
sex; to Kill and destroy Protestants
by every means. He will crush the IN
fant in the womb; he win use the dag
ger and the poisonous cup. Then it
goes on to relate how wives and daugh-
ters are unsafe from the lecherous
brood of the Italian pontiff. and calls
upon all good Americans TO rise and
crush it. The circular tells how agents
and ministers may make big salaries
by the sale of the book. Evidently thev
thought the station master was a Pro-
testant and they urged his speedy an
sWer or some one else would get the
agency there

It Was a Priests Newspaper.

The clergy of Ireland write their SER
mons. Some time ago, certain. public
spirited Catholics undertook to found
and finance a newspaper which they
hoped would find an ample circulation
among the people. The journal was
placed under the able editorship of Mr..
A. NJ. Sullivan. 1t started out with a
rush of glory, but died in six years. Mr.
Sullivan declares that it was killed
with kindness. They flooded the col
umns with their Sunday sermons, and
the people soon began to tire of these
weekly homilies. Little of mere hu-
man interest appeared in the paper,
and its publishers found it necessary
TO close the doors of their printing Of
flee. The American Catholic paper is
not likely to meet with such a pitfall.
The modesty of the American clergy
man keeps him far away from the
printed word. If he writes at all, it is
for the people of his immediate flock,
and he has no itching to multiply his
words a hundred-fold. And this, too,
is a pity.-Catholic Transcript

Preaching on Sunday at special SER
vice at st. Johns cathedral, Liner
lex, and which was attended on invi-
tation by the mayor and members of
the Limerick corporation. the Most
Rev. Doctor O'Dwyer said he should
like to speak plainly regarding a gross
vice, drunkenness, which was rampant
in their town. They were beginning
the Lenten season, and it was incon-
sistent with the teaching of Gods law
and the law of the church, that any in
duigence destroying every glimmer of
reason among the people should be con-
tlnued. stranger would hardly be-
heve there was any necessity for such
strong language, but the figures he
would give would surprise his listen
ers, as these figures had astonished
and Inundated himself. During the
past year 907 men and women were
convicted for drunkenness in the city
and the majority of these were several
times arrested. the total arrests for the
year being nearly 5000. Was it not
shocking and appalling state of things
TO have this abominable vice working
havoc all over the town? Until this
torrent of liquor flowing over Limerick
was stopped the city would remain as
1t was. a beggarly, wretched. filthy. i'm
poverished city. The town presently
was had enough. but it would be worse
unless this vice was checked
