by little Miss Ruth Crowley brought
the first part of the program to a

Daughter given by the young ladies
of the school. Miss l.. Schumann took
the part of Jeptha, general of Israel's
army in very able manner. Miss

her part we'll and Asser, a messenger,

The Efficacy Of PRAYER.

Speaking of the efficacy of prayer,
a little Belleville girl who declared she
had seen Il lion in the yard, was told
she must go to her room and pray
God to forgive her for telling a story.
After few moments she came trip
ping into the room, and the following
dialogue ensued with her mother:
did you ask God to forgive you,
dear"'
Yes, mamma
"And did he?"
Yes. mamma. he told me not to
give it second thought, as he took
it for lion himself when he first
saw it,"

his good deeds in the parish of st.
Vincent will speak for his burning

Como will recall his zeal for converts.
1t was st. Andrew who made the first
convert when he brought his brother
Peter to Christ; it was st. Andrew,
too, who, from his devotion to the
cross of Christ. was condemned to 4
slow cructiXion and from the pulpit
of his agony preached for two entire
days. the faith and the love of his
Divine Master. The life of the priest
is in many ways, a slow crucitiXion,
and in order to be effective, the priest
must nail himself, his thoughts, words
and acts to the cross of Christ. There
is no sermon so eloquent us self-sacri-
flee; there is no example nobler, or as
we have seen today. more fruitful
than the living martyr of the sacred
ministry. st. Nincent's is to-day in
it's grown manhood; st. Andrews of
Como is still in it's teens. l have no
doubt, however, that the history of st.
Andrews will in the near future, be
reflex of the history of st. Ninccnt's,
and that whatever can be done to aid
the pastor will be achieved by my
very dear and true friend, his schol-
ary assistant. With such priests,
with such surroundings, with such
hopes. your parochial future is bright
and tirm-bright with the sunlight of
capability and firm with the assurance
of good deeds done"

THE BISHOP OF DULUTH
Speaks Very Plainly on the Question
of Education.

II am believer in a good ordinary
education," said Bishop McGolrick at
the commencement exercises of the
Sacred Heart institute held at the
Lyceum in Duluth Thursday evening
OF last week. Il do not believe in
giving a student a smattering of Il
number of deep and abstract subjects
which are calculated to spoil a child.
| will give a gold medal to the young
lady who will come before me and
pass a satisfactory examination on
the following subjects: Plain sewing
Il mean stockings and torn trousers),
cooking (by all means), how to lay a
table, how to take temperature, how
to make a bed, how to alight from a
street car Il never yet saw lady
who could), how to select shoes that
are an easy fit, how to tie knots, how
to fill a fountain pen, how to fold
clothes (men's as we'll as ladiesD, how
to do up an umbrella, how to trim
lamps, how to open tin cans, how to
drive nails, how to light fires, how to
feed the dog, cat and canary, santa
ton, how to weave baskets, how to
make paper flowers.
'"There was never a time OF never
a country where there are better op-
portunities for education than in
America at the present time. 1t is
brought to everyone's door and foolish
is he who does not avail himself of the
opportunity.
'The examination system, however,
which is in use in our country is not
calculated to bring out the education
of the child. but rather his memory.
1t is well-known fact that a semi
IDIOT may have the best memory"
The Lyceum was crowded with the
friends of the Sacred Heart institute,
it being the occasion of the annual
graduating exercises. Four young
ladies received the graduating medals:
Miss Louise Lyons, Miss Emma
