THE BOUNDARY INVISIBLE.

Beautiful world from which / part,
Holding the summer in my heart.
Thou hast been my friend
To the shining end.
In the wide arms of space.
Star sun, or any place.
What can ] gain or miss,
As sweet as this?
Breath Of wet moss, brown buds, and
wasting snow,
o thrill me once. again before | go.
Too subtle April stirring in the veins;
The maple light that fires October
rains;
Half temptress, guardian half, SOL
emn moon.
Watched by two, silent. on a night in
Fairer than We, What things may be or
are,
In those strange lands where I must
travel far?
Beautiful world to which L go,
Bowling my head before the snow!
While the storm grows old,
Take me, lover cold
True is thy faith, and kind,
AS one I left behind.
Now dumb and dear as his,
Thy sacred kiss.
Beautiful world for which 1 start,
Hiding the tremor in my heart,
When my last sun shall dim and dip,
Behind the long hills somber slope,
Strong be the paean on my lip,
And. singing to the darkness tell
That she, who never passing we'll
Did grasp the hearty hand of hope.
Gave back to God her failing breath,
With trust to him. and joy OF death

eosslPINe AT CHURCH DOORS.

There are few people in every con-
gregation who make a practice of
standing around the churCn entrance
for the purpose of gossip. The prac-
tice is unworthy of a digniffed Catho-
lie and a fruitful source of bringing his
religion into contempt. 1t is little less
than a sacrilege to go to church for the
mere purpose of idle gossip. 1t it is
Indispensable to see your neighbour.

first debt to God, and your neighbor

Sins of the Tongue.

Some persons seem to think that
they do no wrong when they circulate
false reports, tell injurious truths un-
necessarily, and turn friends into
enemies by backbiting or slanderous
stories
They go along as if they were not
TO blame
a few of them. unconscious appar-
emily of their sins of the tongue, go to
Holy Communion frequently, while the
ruin they have caused continues to
spread and their piety. in the midst of
their destructive tale bearing, causes
additional scandal, They have need
TO look in the catechism for the answer
to this question:

jured his neighbor by speaking i'll of
him ?--Catholic Columbian

CATHOLIC VIEW OF SPIRITUAL

FIXING THE EASTER DATE

According to the decree Of the Coun-
cll-oi Nicaea, Easter is to be celebrated
ON the first Sunday after the four
teenth moon of the first month. The
first month here referred to is not Ian
uary, but the Jewish first month. or
that month in which the fourteenth of
iui moon occurred either on or imme-
dlately after the vernal equinox.
This rule. according to our calendar.
places Easter on the Sunday follow
ing the equinoctial full moon. that is.
the fun moon occurring on or imme-
diatsly after the yerna1 equinox March
I'D. Thus, last year. the euuinoctial
full moon, the first after March p, oc-
CURED on Wednesday,, March 80 and
the Sunday following was April 3. on
which day Easter was to be kept.
In the present year there seems to
arise an astronomical difficulty owing
to the fact that in America the moon
is fun on March 20, 11h. 4Sm p. m.
Washington time), while in Europe at
the same moment they write. March
u. All. IS Greenwich time). In Euro
pean countries. therefore. Easter ought
to be kept on the Sunday following
March p. j. e.. March 70 while in our
country. for which the next moon aft
el the equinox occurs on April 10, East
er viii be celebrated on the Sunday fol-
lowing that date, i. e.. on April 23. To
obviate such and similar difficulties,
the ecclesiastical calendar refers not
TO the actual moon in the sky, which
is fun at a definite instant of time. but
I "a fictitious moon, the times Of the
phases Of which are so arranged as
mol 10 differ much trop those OF the
actual moon.
Thus in 1905 the ecclesiastical calen-
dar moon is full on March 20. and
p gain on April Is, not at any particular
hour Of these days, but on these days
in general and wheresoever these dates
occur Now April is is. by thH rule.
The Paschal full moon. and Easter day
is the following Sunday, viz. April %.

A UNIQUE RECORD.

that he is himself a child of that par
fsh. Few men in New York. whether
professional men or clerics. are follow
ing their calling in the parish in which
they were born, and fewer still are the
clsrgymen who officiate in the churches

changes and transfers that fall TO the
lot of the young Catholic priest in the
early days after his ordination never

GOOD MOVE.

The catholic ecclesiastical authorities
are troubled over the losses which the
church suffers in Berlin owing to mixed
marriages. They attribute the mixed
marriages i'm a large measure 10 the
facilities offered to young people for
meeting one another at public halls
and dances. To counteract this evil
faey suggest the formation Of Catholic
social associations in =rlin and other
large Protestant cities whose duty it
WIN be TO give public dances TO which
nome but Catholics will be admitted,
this way lessening the temptation Of
1oth sexes to visit Protestant dances.

GDurcb Universal

ldie to suppose that the souls of the Just
VINO are enjoying the beatific vision
should be at the beck and nod of every
ulElller or medium: eady to satisfy
vain curiosity. And the souls of the
damned as rule are not allowed to
leaVe their abode of punishment to hold
converse with the living.
Spiritualisrn, then, as cult, is re-
garded by the Catholic church as an in
Nention Of the devil. AS an act of pre-
teFnatural power, it is classed with di-
Vlnation, magic. fortune-telling and
other superstitious practices which
nave always been forbidden by God
and condemned by the church"

The CATHOLIC PRESS.

Archbishop Mont gomery. coadjutor-
archbishop of San Francisco. says; ITO
my mind, every dollar spent in support
OF the Catholic press has two great #
fects. 1t is invaluable personally to
those rendering the assistance; it is
of immense value to the parish where
the help is given through the intelli-
gent and wholesome interest in all
things Catholic, which the truly Cath
Ollie paper never fails to create and fur

HEARING MASS.

The obligation of attending mass on
Sunday is strict, and the violation of
it is a moral sin. Every Catholic is
aware of this obligation. When Sun
day comes all other considerations must
be laid aside, and the first thing that
a Catholic is bound to provide for is
the time to go to church and adore
God. He may take physical and men
tai rest during the remainder of the
day. he may enjoy innocent recreation
that is calculated to recuperate his
strength for the toll of the coming
week but he dare not violate the obli-
cation of hearing mass.

TO PRAISE MARY.
Protestant Poets Whose Words Laud
the Blessed Virgin.
lCatholic Progress.D

(CatholiC PrOgresS)
Whatever may be the opinion of the
average Protestant as regards the
Catholics homage of the Blessed Vir-
gin and our unfaltering faith in the
power of her intercession for our sins,
the fact remains that Protestant poets
from the most cynical to the most re-
ligious have in their inspired moments
breathed her praise in unmistakable
language, uttering words which would
lead one to believe that within their
higher gifts they must have possessed
the one which enabled them to dis
Germ the glory of the Mother of Christ
as she presents herself to our spiritual
senses.
The ave" Hour.
The following illustrations of this
assertion will be of interest not merely
to the student of literature but even
more so to the thinking Catholic who
is sufficiently well versed with the
characters and writings of the poets
name to realize the guidance of in
spiration which has led them to the
expression of a personal homage not
withstanding their own professions of
faith or agnOsticism as the case may
be:

nice thing, but when your husband
meanders off and leaves you without
wood and you have to meander up and
down the lane pulling splinters off the
fence to cook dinner, and when you
meander along in the wet grass in
search of the cows till your shoes are
the color of rawhide and your stock
ings soaked, and when you meander
out across twenty acres of plowed
ground with a club to drive the hogs
out of the cornfield and tear your dress
on the barb wire fence, when you
meander back home to the house, find
that the billy goat has butted the stuff

During the South African war, wher

letters sent home by British soldiers
had to pass through the hands of q
censor.
A private in a Yorkshire regiment
had sent four or five letters home
telling his parents about the doings OF
his regiment, and portions had beer
obliterated by the censor and were
therefore illegible on their arrival al
their destination. He decided to eve,
accounts with the censor, and at the
foot Of the next letter he wrote:
please look under the stamp"
At the censor's Office the letter was
opened and read as usual. The Of
ficer in charge spent some time in
steaming the stamp from the envelope
so that he could read the message
which he was certain he would FIND
there. At last his patience was re-
warded; but his feelings can be better
