The Manhood Needed Today.

We arc called to be leaders, and not followers,
as our great Leo XIII, used to say. On us is the
responsibility to help mould public opinion toward
goodness of life. We are Christians and Catholics,
as we'll as and citizens, but we have a duty to
society and to the home as well as to the church.
We live in an age when wealth and power lead the
onward march of nations. Let us not be deceived.
Material prosperity is not the only goal for ma
TONS success. Wealth and honors are not the ideals
of life. Society is threatened with irreverence, ir-
religion, impiety. 1t needs of reverent lives.
of deep religious sense of sound intelligent piety.
On all sides we hear cries for greater moral de-
velopment Again, let us not be deceived The
only regeneration for mankind, the only salvation
for society, the only upbuilding of mankind is
through Jesus Christ. The manhood that is
needed today is a manhood that understands
authority, responsibility, obedience, sacrifice; that
realizes that the evil in life is SIM and the one
knowledge is the knowledge and love of God. The
cry for better citizenship, for purer personal life
can only be answered by the morality which makes
men good Education never was more general, and
yet Crime never expressed itself in more intel
lectual form. There is something wanting in the
training of the man besides the cultivation of in
tellect and the broad principles of general NOR
atty. We need the positive religion which comes
directly from the teacher whom God sends to show
us the truth.-Bishop Conaty.

house of Zachaeus; one merciful look converts the
heart of the mfaithful Peter. Thus two brief
acts only are requisite and sufficient to ensure the
sinners forgiveness an act of clcmency and con
descenslon OF God, reaching down to the sinner
and an act OF sorrow and humiliation OH the part
of the sinner leading up TO God 1t is an easy
way to obtain forgiveness; its institution is worthy
OF the merciful Master. Notice. however though
the act OF confesSing and absolvng may be brief
the work OF preparation for confession covers some

And yet, confession does not smooth the road
to sin nor is it license for it or an encourage
ment to commit it. 1t is absolutely impossible that
confession should make sin easy foster vice.
confession Is the ordinance of the blessed Savior
who came to destroy sin. and not open the door

SINS by single confession, it is because he deess
them and Is firmly determined not to commit them
again. He knows that he cannot presume on divine

immediately Luther preached against the neces-
sity of confession and his doctrine was unfortun-
ately welcome to many In his days; but he bitterly
complained of the decay of morality and openly
regretted that he had abolished the confessional.
Confession is the fruit of Christ's passion and
death; it is Of the greatest blessings that God
conferred on sinful man; it is nevcr-failing

A FRENCH CENTRE PARTY.

While the bishops, one after another, are send
ing their homage TO the Holy See, and protesting
against the governments threats of abrogatng the
Concordat, and the Ant-clericas are making mu-
tual sacrifices of their programmes so as to be
united in favor of the governments proposal to
separate the church and state, prominent Catholic
leaders are preparing for the future. They are
trying to public opinion among Catholics,
and to arrange for the time when the bishops and
priests will have recovered liberty enough to take
part in public action. The Comte d'Haussonville
in letter to the Figaro says he much prefers to
have the Church freed from her slavery to the
state He believes the people will rally round her,
and will support any policy the bishops may adopt.
Nor does he fear that the financial trials would be
greater than the Church could bear. With her
newly gained freedom, she would be more respected
and should her bishops put themselves at the head
of any social or political movement, he believes
that the aity would gladly follow. We do not
know how far Count d'Haussonville's idea may be
practicable, in view of the likelihood of the gov
eminent lettering the non-Concordatory Church
with NJ Brands regulations, but it is at least an
encouraging sign to find prominent French Catho-
lies considering how they will act under another
state of ecclesiastical arrangements.-L Cath

Cardinal Sarto, our present POPE, when Patr-

man almost dying and stretched on the bare ground.

was too much for his fatherly heart. Without
more ado he rolled up his mattress as well as he
could and slipped out into the streets with his
racket ON his shoulders. But he had no thought of
ibc watchful eye of the police. and the cardinal
tomd himself arrested by two Venetian cops. Of
course they recognized him and Immediately took
barge of the load and carried it where the cardinal
directed them.

need to answer this question The work God gives
man to do he is not forced to seek; it will seek
him. He requires telescope to look for it in
Mars or the Milky Way, no microscope to find it
among germs or bacilli. The fussy people who are
always installing their vocations and getting into

own. There is certainly and always work for each
one of them to do and it is certainly and always
right before his eyes But it may, it probably will

searches for it painfully where he knows it is not.

POPE HOPES FOE PEACE.

Rome Sept. 9.--In discourse yesterday the
Pope thanked party of French pilgrims for the
loyalty and devotion they had manifested not only
in word, but in deed; thus risking having to make
considerable sacrifices. After reviewing the his
toric connections between France and the vatican
the Pontiff said: France is always notwithstand-
ing that all that has happened, most1dear to our
heart. If necessary we are ready to endure again
suferings to insure the welfare and greatness of
your country"
The Pope concluded with urging the pilgrims
to remain firmly attached to the Church and to
strive for true prosperity
The moderation of the Popes discourse was
much commented on It compared to the ag-
gressive tone of the recent speech made by the
French minister, NJ Combes, at Auxerre, France
and considered to be an indication that the
vatican has not yet lost hope that some under
standing may be arrived at with France, which IS
also proved by the fact that, although the papal
nunco at Paris has been recalled his auditor is still
there occupying semi-ofical position.

n11R LADY OF SORROWS.

The month of September is dedicated to Our
Blessed Mother of Sorrows. In the chronicles of
the life of St Elizabeth, well known TO us all by
her wonderful charity and sweetness to the suffer-
ing and the poor it is recorded that it was revealed
TO her that after the Assumption of the Blessed
Virgin into heaven the beloved disciple St John,
TO whose care she was entrusted by Jesus on the
Gross, desired once more to see her. The prayer
of ST. John was heard and granted Ia vision Our
Blessed Mother appeared TO Him accompanied by
her Divine Son. In that appartion. If Mary 5
soul travelled back, to say, that life of sor-
row through which she had passed. for sixty years,
The evangelist heard her enl.eat her Divine Son to
bcstow a special grace on those who in life should
be devoted to her doors. In to 1t, St Eliza
beth tells us that He promised four marvellous
graccs The first was that those who before death
earnestly invoked the help Of His Blessed Mother
under the title Of her sorrows should obtain true
repentance for their sins. In the second grace He
promised that those who cherished this devotion
should be protected by His love III their own sor-
rows. and especially in the sorrows of death In
the third. that in recompense for their sympathy
for His Blessed Mother in her grief, He would inn
press on their souls the remembrance Of His own
Passion, and bestow on them corresponding glory
in Heaven And, lastly that in His Divine compass
sion He would confde such devout clients of His
Blessed Mothers sorrows to her own special keep
ing to dispose of them Mothers love for her
adopted children would suggest. and, moreover,
that He would enrich them from the treasury of
His love with all the graces she should ask for
them. The feast Of the Seven Dolors falls this
