Father Gapon is preaching to the

He warns the rcyolutionists and the

but are more likely to raise up coun-
ter revolution. He says
"A hundred fanatical priests with
church banners and ikons might easily

tuals of the cities amidst such horrors
as the world has never witnessed"

those to do it are the men and wom-
en- in our churches. If we do not do
it, it is because we are afraid.
The example Of Mayor Collins
has done more Than the sermons OF
many preachers to impress upon the
minds of our people the great re-
ligious truth of the efficacy of self
effacement in service to promote the
equilibrium of society. By his per-
sonal incorruptibility in his high Of
flee he has saved Boston measure
, ably from the commissions of the era
of graft, which has been the curse of
Philadelphia. New York, Minneapolis,
st. Louis and many other American
Cities"
DR.. Johnson said that he would
venture to prophesy that If mayor
is elected who 's not a God-fearing
man, great crash will soon come
and Boston will be the scene of dis
honor and death.
THE working people and the
churches are blessed in such a man
as Patrick Collins. 1t is the great
glory of Boston that we had an in
corruptible mayor, and I thank God
for him." concluded the preacher.

same lies the secret of lace lore. for
l we'll recall daughter of New Eng

ner meaning Of many things, remark
ing While she fingered and fondled a
piece of baby Irish edging,' still redo
lent of the peat fire of a Gort cottage:
When l think of the hands that wove

power in a mere hand
1t is for Colleens of this lace-work-

our true womanly women of their own

Wake for their sake within cottage
walls and convent shades the whirr of

cares. Help the girls she says, to
stay amid their hills, for the hills are
safest and happiest. The thought Of

Say Your Morning Prayers.

Says a Paulist father: For my own
part, 1 look upon regular morning
prayers as a plain mark of predestina-
ton to eternal life. ASK and you
shall receive; seek and you shall find;
knock and it shall be opened to you,"
is our Lords promise to those that
pray; and the best prayer is the morn
ing prayer. Be ready, therefore, to
correct yourself for emitting it. The
day you forget it go without some
thing you like to eat, put a nickel in
the poor box, double up your night
prayers, make a special request to your
guardian angel to get you up in good
time for morning prayer the follow
ing morning. For the Our Father"
Hail Mary" Apostles Creed" Con
hteor,' and Acts of Faith, Hope, Sor-
row and Charity, that you say in the
morning will in the end give you q
happy death and the kingdom of
heaven.

Gus exiles We're able to build COM
Portable homes of their own on South
Charles street, near Lombard. This
quarter was long known as French
Town." Prominent among these set
tiers were the names Of Gutro Gould,
Blanc, Dashfield and Berbine.
The simple altar which the French
eXiles erected in the Johnson building
to perpetuate the Catholic religion was
the forerunner of more commodious
structure at Charles and Saratoga
streets called st. Peters Church. In
time this also became too small for the
needs of its congregation, and on July
Z, 1906, the cornerstone of the present
Cathedral was laid by Bishop Leonard
Neale.
Although many of the Acadian exiles
stopped in Baltimore. most of them
were sent to Louisiana, where their
customs survive to the present day. In
New Orleans many of the most
prominent families trace their ancestry
to these Canadian peasants.
This wholesale deportation of a
harmless nation has been described by
historians as one of the foulest acts of
King George. There is nothing in
history more touching than the heart
rending shrieks of these people when
they were notified that they must leave
the land they loved-the land they had
titled for a century.
This event furnished Longfellow the
subject for his famous poem, "Evange-
line" the story of the separation of the
lovers, which is familiar to every
school child.

Guild for Chorus Girls.

A movement has been started by
Miss Marie Cahill to establish a sum.
mer home for the chorus girls of the
American stage. Miss Catherine r,
Conway, the well-known Catholic writ
er and editor of the Boston Pilot, has
accepted the invitation of Miss Cahill
to stand as the New England sponsor
for the movement. The governing
body will be known as "The Mary An
derson Guild" subject to Mrs. Navar-
ro's consent. which Miss Cahill expects
to secure, as well as her Endorsement
Of the plan.
Miss Cahill's idea is first to provide
resort somewhere in New England
at which the various young women of
the profession may spend the between
season time, and thus be kept away
from the temptations of the large cit
les. Branch offices in the shape Of
social settlements, will later be start
ed in all large cities.
Miss Cahill, who is very success
full actress, is also a devout Catholic.

Men Of Faith.

The man who accomplishes any.
thing in this world is, and must be,
a man of faith. Strong men, forcible
men, virile men, are men of faith. It
may be low type of faith-faith in
self-but it is faith. Beaxendale saws:
Weak faith makes weak men," How
much stronger should be the man who
has faith in God, the faith which says:
Il can do all things through Christ
who strengthened me-" This is faith
of the higher type. BE done with say
ing what you don't believe" and find
In your soul the divinest, truest thing
in which you do believe, and work that
out. Be the noblest man your present
faith, poor and weak and imperfect as
1t is, can make you to be. So, and so
only, as YOU take the next step for
ward as you stand strong where you
are now, so only as you think the cur
tain will draw back, and there will be
revealed to you what lies beyond.
The talents granted to single iny-
vidual do not benefit himself sloNe.
but are gifts to the world; every one
shares them, for every one suffers Ar
benefits by his actions. Geplus/is a
lighthouse, meant to give light from.
afar; the man who bears it is but the
rock upon which the lighthouse is
built.

Lord Mimic Strenuous Gentleman

Lord Mimic a Strenuous Gentleman
Lord Mimic, new Viceroy Of India
is aged So. He has had career full
of interest. He was fighting with the
Turkish army in 1877, with Lord Rob-
erts in Afghanistan in 1879, and he
accompanied the latter to the Cape
as private secretary in 1881. A year
later he was taking part in the sup
preston of the patriotic Arab Pasha,
and though wounded, recovered in
time to serve as chief Of the staff to
Gen. Middleton against patriot Riel
in Canada in 1885. He also had ex-
perience of the horro..s of Paris dur
ing the Commune, and at another time
was implicated with the CarMsts in
Spain. Lord Mimic distinguished
himself at Cambridge in various ways.
On taking his degree he entered the
senate house with his bachelors gown
covering a very unacademic costume
which ended in breeches and boots.
AT the conclusion of the ceremony he
mounted horse, galloped ten miles
and reached his destination in time
to win the University steeplechase.
He rode in the Grand National five
times. He won the event once, be-
ing the only amateur jockey in a field
of eighteen.

It's No Laughing Matter.

Don't laugh at the drunken man
reeling through the street, says the
Sacred Heart Review. However lu-
dicrous the sight may be, just stop to
think. He is going home to some ten
der heart that will throb with intense
agony. Some mother will grieve over
the downfall Of her once sinless boy;
or 1t may be a fond, loving wife,
whose heart will break with grief as
she views the destruction Of her idol:
or it may be loving sister who will
shed bitter tears over the degradation
of him, shern of his manMness and
self-respect. Rather drop a tear in
silent sympathy with those hearts so
keenly sensitive and tender, yet so
proud and loyal that they can't accept
sympathy rendered them either in
word or look. although it may fall up
on their wounded hearts as the sum-
mer dew on the withered plant.

CATHOLIC STUDENTS WIN.

There was time once, and not so
fected to believe that Catholic schools
were Of little use, says the New World,
Chicago. Some of these people yet
exist. They ought to lie made to look
in this direction. 1t will not, we think,
be commended that the Chicago Normal
School has any particular fondness for
Catholics. Some Of those connected
with it have come, in simple truth,
before the public with hints of Catholic
persecution.
Nevertheless there was an examina-
ton the other day Of young people
who seek to become teachers. Entrance
to the Normal can be gained only by a
trying examination, in which no favor
is shown any one. What, to Catholics,
was the result Of that examination.
Here it is, and it is significant:
st. Gabriel's Catholic High School
Miss Callahan received an average of
SS.Os AhC OSASA POPAAo SaA oSCAoSc "a
80. All passed.
ST. James High School-Seventeen
took examination. All passed.
st. Marys High School-Eight took
examination. All passed.
| Providence Academy-All who took
examination passed.
Academy of Our Lady Of Longwood
Two took examination. Both passed
Now, IL this is not a remarkable
record we beg to learn what it is. Ir
the four schools so far heard from MOI
a single failure! And bear in mint
that in these examinations the pupil.
Of those Catholic schools were in oper
competition with the pupils of the pub
lie and high schools Of the city Of Chi
cago. and that the latter cannot truth
fully boast such record. They hat
many failures.
1t is striking victory for the Catho
lie school. 1t is absolute proof that l
educates.

PEN PICTURE OF CHRIST.

| The following is the only reliable per
picture of Christ as seen in actual life
and is an exquisite piece of word
painting. 1t is taken from MS. now
in the possession of Lord Kelly, and
! in his library. 1t was copied from an
original letter of Publlus Lentulus, at
| Rome, it being the usual custom OF
Roman governors to advise the Senate
and the people of such material things
as happened in their provinces in the
days of Tiberius Caesar Publius Len
tulus, procurator of Judea, wrote the
letter to the Senate:
There appeared in these, our days,
a man Of great virtue named Jesus
Christ, who is yet living amongst us,
and of the Gentiles is accepted as the
prophet of truth. He raises the dead
and cures all manner of diseases. A
man of stature somewhat tall and
comedy, such as the beholder may both
love and fear His hair is the color
of a chestnut full ripe, plain to his
ears whence downward it is more
orient and curling, and waving about
his shoulders. In the midst of his head
is a seam, a partition in the hair,
after the manner of the Nazarites. His
forehead plain and very delicate; his
face without spot or wrinkle, beautiful
with lovely red. His nose and
mouth so formed and nothing can be
reprehended. His beard In color like
his hair, not very long, but forked.
His look innocent and mature. His
eyes gray, clear and quick and lumin-
Gus. In reproving he is terrible, his
eyes piercing-as with a two-edged
sword-the greedy, the selfish and the
oppressor tut look with tenderest pity
on the weak, the erring and the sinful.
Courteous and fair-spoken. Pleasant
in conversation, and mixed with
gravity. 1t cannot lie remembered
that any have seen him laugh, but
many have seen him weep. In pro-
portion of body most excellent-a man
for his singular beauty surprising the
children of men,"
