career has been notable
he was born in Ireland, became a
priest IN this country, and was finally

fever broke out, becoming epidemic

In the spring of 1851 Father O'Keefe
was appointed by the Confederate seq
ietary Of war as chaplain of Mahone's
brigade Although an earnest adyo-
cate OF the southern cause throughout
the war, he acquiesced in the settle
hhent OF all differences between the
iioTlh and the south. and did much to
induce his people TO accept willingly
the new condition of things.
In 1869 French frigate with yellow

No song from heavens court stream

No faith due joy surrender

How and When to Genuhect.
Genuf1ection before the Blessed Sac
rament is intended as a most rever-
entail act of faith and worship. But in
order that this pious practice may at
tain the intended aim, which is to
honor our Lord in the Sacrament of
the altar, it is not enough to genuf1ect
in some manner or other but to do it
well and reverently, says an exchange
The writer then proceeds to give these
| few directions in regard to the time
and places where genutiection is
proper And first. there are two kinds
of genufiection; the simple genufection,
and the genufiection with both knees.
or prostration. The first is made by
bending the right knee only, until it
touches the floor The second is made
by putting both knees on the floor and
bowling the head while kneeling. The
the following occasions:
First-Every time that you pass be-
fore the tabernacle containing the
Blessed Sacrament. Secondly-In en-
taring a church or chapel in which the
Blessed Sacrament is kept always
genufiect before entering your place
Thirdly-When leaving the church or
chapel. Fourthly-When the priest re-
cites at the altar that article of the
Credo, EFT Homo factus est" and
these words OF the last Gospel. EFT
Verbum caro- factum est There are,
besides. many other circumstances in |
which it is proper to genufect. for in !
stance during these words of the Cos |
pei on Ephiphany day, EFT iProci-
dentes adoraverunt cum" The genu-
fection with both knees is made every
time that you pass before the Blessed
Sacrament when exposed. In order that
\ Ioc
act, it is necessary that it should he
made with composure. decency and
gravity, and without precipitation It
must be on our part an act of humility,
, testimony Of love toward the Most
Blessed Sacrament

nal vicar and now general chancellor
OF the holy Roman church,, Cardinal
! Rarocchl, was able to write this in q
! letter of recommendation: The work,
| which was founded seventeen years ago
/ by Father Jordan for the purpose OF
! being useful, by it's activity, to Cath
oilcs. and of devoting itself to foreign
missions among the unbelievers, has
grown so much that, considering the
number of its members and houses, 1t
already takes prominent place among
the newer congregations. The new
society numbers at present about 400
members, of whom almost $50 are
priests, the other being scholastics,
novices and lay brothers Besides the
mother house in Rome. the society
reckons about thirty-five establish
ments where its members work in
about sixteen languages in different
parts of the world.
The Catholic in Matters of Faith.
But you may ask me, can a Catholic
doubt any article of his faith without
sin? Here is the one grain of truth in
Mr.. Leckey's assertion: y Catholic
cannot voluntarily and deliberately
doubt a single article of his faith with
out guilt. We Catholics do not hold our
faith as a matter of private opinion
Ours is an objective certitude based
upon the principles of authority. The
rejection of single point of faith is a
repudiation of the authority through |
which it is held. But that authority |
is God speaking to us througil His |
Church. Therefore, not to accept the |
of the Church is to cues |
ton the veracity of God, and that we |
cannot do without guilt. All this is
clear to him who has a clear concep-
ion of the Church.-Rev. John F. Null
any, LII. D., III January Donahoe's.
