Mrs. n. y. H4efebvre.

Died, at the family residence in
Opelousas, on Sunday evening,
April 5, 1903, Mrs. Constance Louise
Reaud. aged 53 years.
The death of this estimable lady
was n shock to the community.
In the pink of health, she had been
sitting with her husband on the
gallery, enjoying the sight Of the
Sun d ay evening promenaders,
when she arose and went in the
kitchen for something; and this
was the last that the loving hus-
band saw of his devoted wife alive.
A dull thud, as the falling of a
body, was heard by him, and when
he arrived at her side the sweet
soul had taken its flight Heaven
ward.
The candle OF life was out-the
mortal candle for Mrs. Lefebvre.
For Mr.. Lefebvre, the candle Of
happiness, OF all he cherished and
loved dearly, was out.
The aged consort is left alone in
this world-his world is gone.
May God be with him.

THE KODAK GIRL.

She passed me by with a bashfnl mein;
The kodak box in her hand was seen.
With look of cold defiance
She pointed it ut mel felt the cold chill,
And knew she had snapped me, while
standing so still,
With the kodak of such Reliance.
In the new developing machine of the
Eastman make
She placed the new, dry film, that was
soon to take
My face and form. / adore the creature
And wonder yet, as I oft will do
How machine like that can copy SO
true,
And portray my every feature.

of a victim was a monstrous doctrine
and is not in accord with our ideas of a
righteous. just and a loving Father.
The people who are satisfied with the
old-time religion will find no comfort
here. They are well pleased with the
progress of the world is making along
all other lines, but there shall be no
progress for them in religion. They
are like the man who, when asked II he
thought this nation was sufficiently adj
yanced as a nation to do away with
capital punishment, said: No. Capital
punishment was good enough for my
ancestors and it is good enough for
me- The doctrine of atonement is good
enough for them, but it does not satisfy
the question in the minds of the think
ing people of today as to the coming Oh
Christ and his death.
mo association of ministers will be
responsible for what is here taught,
and this pulpit will not be responsible
for the doings of any such. l come to
you as no special make of man to be
specially honored as the occupant OF
this pulpit All 1 ask is to be treated
as another man among you; and the
only essentials on which l shall stand
are the fatherhood of God, the brother
hood of man and the need of man for
the guidance of higher power. 1t is
still as true as it was in the time of
Christ that all that is necessary for a
true life is to love the Lord with all
thy heart and thy brother as thy
SELF

Abolish the Concordat.

Although the majority of the French
episcopate are in favor Of the reten-
ton of the existing relations between
Church and State, one Bishop holds
strong views against the Concordat.
Mgr. LIE Camus has been interviewed,
and his opinions published in the Fig
arc. The Bishop of La Rochelle frankly
says:
1.-THE Concordat might be defended
as perfectly lawful arrangement, al
though many of US think that the
Church has lost more than she gained
in accepting. since the fourth century,
the protection of the secular arm. She
was created a spiritual power, and the
material support lent her by the tenn
poral power has often impaired her
spiritual activity, apart from the price
she has had to pay for that support"
He believes that. were the churches
and presbyteries handed over to the
clergy. and their stipends continued
for twenty years to come. or during
the lifetime OF the present incum-
hents, the Church would be able to or
ganize herself so completely that she
would suffer nothing from disesta blish-
Taent

ing to one authority, the connection be-
tween a policeman and camerlingo is
to be found in the silver hammer used
TO thrice strike the deceased pope's
brow. A policeman is a "cogne"-i. e..
he who strikes-and this furnishes the
connecting link. However that may be.
the fact remains that the word is now
in common use, and at every street
squabble at present some one is sure
to shout "Eh, va done, camerlinguel"

Monasticism in France.

The French Benedictines. true to the
traditions of their great order, propose
while in exile in Belgium, England and
elsewhere to prepare Il voluminouS
work to be entitled La France Monas-
tique.'' 1t will embrace the early his
tory Of the order and of its saints and
illustrious scholars. notably those of
France, like Mabillon, of the Congre-
cation of st. Maur. Another remark
able feature will be the publication Of
the hitherto unpublished correspon-
dence of tie Monks of st. MaUr, to
whom the world is indebted for much
valuable knowledge. Special attention
will be devoted to the French branches
of the order such as those of Cluny
Citeaux. Fontevrault. Grandmont. the
Celestins the Carthusians, Saint Maur
Saint Vannes and Chezal Benoist.
Every year three octave volumes of
the immense compilation will be pub
lished for subscribers, by Poussielgnes
firm, of the Rue Cassette. This COM
pilation will be valuable not only to
Catholics interested in the splendid
history of their church, and its orders.
but ii will command the attention of
scholars all over the civilized world.
The French Benedictines equaled in
learning their brethren of Monte Cas-
sio, Calabria, Shrewsbury st. Gall in
Switzerland, Wedinghausen in West
phalia, and elsewhere. 1t is also note
worthy that there were great monastic
foundations in France even before st.
Benedfct's time. OF such as these were
Liguge, the "Monasterium Lococia-
gense.'' which the Benedictines recently
left, near Poiters. and the Monastery of
Marmontier. near Tours. AS Denk, the
German historian of Gaul. and also
Montalembert, point out, these very an
cient French monasteries were founded
by st. Martin of Tours They after
wards passed into the hands of the
