A aCLERICALn GOVERNMENT,

The Belgian government Is frequently tainted
with being clerical We venture to assert that when
its work is weighed the general opinion will be that
the more widely the principles by which it has been
guided adopted, the better 1t will be for the IN
terests of the masses.
In twenty years. without exceeding the ordinary
budget of 100000 francs, they achieved most not
able results ard kept the nation in the forefront of
progress. Old age pensions have been introduced :;
a fund has been provided for the remuneration OF
men engaged in military duties; the price of sugar
has been lowered by three pence in the kilogramme;
the public services have been improved; there has
been an increase of 100000 francs annually in the
sum devoted to education, and of 1OOO000Oo IN the
economic provisions for the benefit of the people.
No new taxation has been imposed other than
rise in the duty on alcohol in the consumption of
which there has. in consequence, been dimlnulQn

THE POPE is A WATCHFIrL BISHOP

the Holy Father looks after even the minute details
OF his own diocese, Rome He is watchful bishop
The following incident, illustrating his episcopal
Sohcltude, occurred recently and the Record can
vouch for IT. The pastor of one of the leading
parish churches of Rome had suffered his energies

tenslve parish to leg of late This came to the
knowledge of Plus X The Holy Father in order
TO inform himself personally of the condition of

he asked him:

The pastor answered naming the number.
And how many of them are unbaptized!" ques-
toned His Holiness
4 do not know the exact number but probably
many" replied the embarrassed pastor, naming
the number
The Holy Father further questioned him about
unlawful marriages and similar matters, eliciting
from him invariably indefinite and confused
swers. Finally, the Pope inquired to the salary;
he was receiving.
"Holy Father" replied the pastor II have
revenue of only 200 francs month"
"That is rather too small" remarked His Holt
Il shall better that, depend upon it; in few
days I shall arrange it."
lie then dismissed the priest, who departed
breathing more freely and rejoicing exceedingly
over his prospects. Plus X kept his word; few
days later the pastor received the official notifca
ton of his promotion as canon of the little church
of Our Lady in Via Lata, to which was attached
monthly salary of $50 francs. At the time
however, If was made known to him that he would
be succeeded in his Office as pastor by the Rev.

coon OFFICEs OF PRAYER.

Every day. in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass,
orr Lord Jesus Christ Himself offers to the Father
the infinite merits of His expiation and interces-
sion. One Mass would suffice to obtain the grace
of conversion for all the non-Caholics and all the
Jews and heatens of the whole world. Why do SO
many Masses fail to win theml Because our Lord
Is in the hands of His servants Miracles He works
sometimes But in the ordinary course of His
grace. He does not produce outward and visible eff
fects except with the cooperation of His priests
and His people The conversion of the country, is,
therefore, in our own hands. All must be done by
the grace of God. But to open the flood gates of
heaven and to let loose the stereams of that mighty
craze is given to the prayers of men. Therefore,
never should we assist at Mass without praying for
the conversion of on-Catholics.- Catholic Tran

attendant upon researches which have been going
or for twenty years past among ole manuscripts
The proper rhythm of the chant lost for centuries
was discovered again by the researches, and when
the discovery was made Its establishment was not
only rendered possible, but matter of policy. mas
much as it had never ceased to be the music OF the
Church. but had merely fallen into dlsuse because
of the impossibility of its correct rendition.
"Gregorian music is unison chant which has
been in use from the very beginning, and which was
perfected by Pope St. Gregory III the seventh CEN
tury. 1t is free recitation of the text, with
dences especially at the end of sentences Its ee-
ments either single notes OF groups OF two or
three notes Each syllable receives either a single
note or one or more groups. In ancient notation
the grouping clearing indicated by what Is
called neuma resembling very much shorthand
character. While this notation best represented the
rhythmical movement, it very imperfecty indicated
the pitch, that often great confusion arose. lhs
neumatical writing replaced, about the eleventh
century, by notation staff of four lines, the
form of the notes being either square or diamond
shaped. No doubt before the invention OF printing,
when only manuscript copies could be made, there
was diversity in the translation of the neumas into
the more modern notation. The rhythm pre-
served by daily among the many monastc
ders. As these orders became less numerous the
cerics were replaced by secular chanters, and even
the rhythm lost sight of.
"The Gregoran chant is based on eight different
scales modes that where modern music has
only two modes of expression, the major and the
minor, the Gregorian has four times many, diff
ferng as to the placing of the two seni-ones of the
scales -Four of these scales are called authentic,
or original-the first from D to d. the third from
f to Z, the fifth from f to F. and the seventh from
G to G. The authentic scales are purely datonic-
that is to say, without sharps flats. The other
four scales the plagal, related to the original,
having the same keynotes, but ranging fourth low
err. They are to the authentic scale what the mod
minor scale is to its relative major Just
in modern music they are often combined
with the eight scales a far richer variety of
expression is possible.
