CATHOLIC OPINION.
The Protestants may call themselves
Catholics, as some of them propose, but
the man in the street, and the woman

Make it a rule" advises the Cath
olic Citizen, "at the end of each year
to set all your small bills paid UP.
Carry no petty accounts over the new

them to wait" An exchange says:
This includes newspaper subscrip-
tions also."-The Leader.

The Presbyterian Banner has the fol-
lowing in regard to the work of Doctor
Lorenz: There is beautiful unselfish-
ness in this. We know not whether
Doctor Lorenz is a Christian or not,

The dailies had it that King Leopold
was shot while on his way to attend
a TIE Deum for his deceased wife. The
old man has a pretty hard reputation
in some quarters, but it was too much
to believe that he had public thanks
giving for his deliveranee from matri-
mony. Our learned and esteemed Cath
olic contemporaries are with much in
sistence rebuking the ignorance of the
6siiies for saying that the king was
attending TIE Deum. They knew it
must be a requiem mass. AS a mat
ter of fact it was a te deum, though
not for the queen. The day was st.
Leopolds day.-The Leader.

If we desire our prayers should be
heard, our actions must be suitable to
our petitions; we must exert ourselves
both before and after prayer in render
ing ourselves worthy of the favor we
ask.
The influence of a kind act never
dies. 1t enters into our lives, increas-
ing in us the power of good and les
SEEMING the hold of evil on us. 1t may
be set aside for time by other infiu--
ences; but they cannot wholly destroy
1t. After long years of oblivion it
comes back to us with the same sweet
attraction as when it first cast it's spell
over us; and if even then it produce
no other effect, at least it makes us
bless the name of the giver.-Reverend

There is something beautiful in great

One hour day persistently devoted

There has never been a great and

Every life is work of art shaned

"A Pocketful of Sunshine"
A pocketful of sunshine
Is better far than gold:
1t browns the daily sorrows
OF the young and of the old:
1t fills the world with pleasure
In field, in lane, and street.
And brightens every prospect
OF the mortals that we meet
a pocketfu7 Of sunshine
Can make the world akin,
And lift load of sorrow
From the burdened backs of sin.
Di1fusing light and knowledge
through thorny paths of life.
1t glides with silver lining
The storm clouds of strife.
