at the Mosque of Omar, which stands
on the supposed site of SOlomons
Temple, but the site of the ancient
places in Jerusalem is and must for
ever be largely matter of conjec-
ture. No man could take oath that
the Via Dolorosa of to-day is the one
trod by the feet of Christ with the
cross on his back when he went to his
crucifiXion, and no man knows the
exact spot of the crucifixion. and yet
one finds ones self standing with
barred head before some of the places
pointed out as the spots on which &C.

Absalom may have ben laid in that
tomb hewn from the solid rock there
in the valley of Jehoshaphat, but who
knows that this is true? There seem
many reasons for believing that the

firm in the conviction that the grotto
pointed out as the place of his birth
in Bethlehem was the real place
where that event occurred. But learn.
ed men of modern times think that
Helena was deceived in regard tC
some of the sites, and they cannot
agree even as to whether the place Of
the sepulchre was within or without
the present walls of the city.
The wall and gates of Jerusalem are
objects of great interest to those who
visit the Holy Land for the first time.
The walls of this ancient city have
been built and laid low more than
once, but it is thought that they were
not greatly changed in regard to their
location. Nothing but extensive and
expensive excavations could deter
mine the exact location Of the original
walls. and it is doubtful if this will
ever be undertaken.

some of them are the most wretched

Devout Flock to BethIehen1.
The devout of Palestine flock to
Bethlehem rather than to Jerusalem
on Christmas eve. From out of the
Jaffa gate of the Holy City come all
the devout to hurry to Bethlehem, and
to the Church of the Nativity to wit

edifice. The services begin at IL at
night, and if it happens to be a moon
light night the spectacle of the thou
sands of pilgrims faring from all direc-

CATHOLIC MISSIONS.
Converts by the Hundreds.

The New York apostolate during the
months of January and February re-
ceived into the church liz converts as
follows: Thirty-one in st. Johns Phil
adelphia: IS in st. Stephens, n. Y; 40
in St Edwards, Cleveland and 13 in
Kingston, n. Y. The Paulist Fathers,
Conway and Harvey, have the names
of 147 who have expressed a desire Ito
become Catholics, the result of a recent
non-Catholic mission in st. PauFs, New
York. The reports from other mission
aries are equally favorable.
The Cleveland bandl gave an interest
ing mission at Berea, Ohio. There are
two arge schools for advanced strides
here, Baldwin university and the Ger
man Wallace college. The theological
students of the latter particularly at
tended the mission faithfully with pen
ell and tablet and had many conferen-
ces with the missionaries. These young
men who are preparing to teach others,
asked such questions as why we pro-
claimed many infallible why we go to
her to have our sins forgiven. They had
no doubt that all the priests in the
Catholic church preached in Latin.
They admitted that their Catholic au-
thorities were Maria Monk, Chiniquy,
and O'Connor. Chiniquy was then ia
vorite. Many fthem believed, reli-
giously. that Lincoln was assassinated
by Jesuits. because he defended Chin
iquy in a law suit. 1t was very choice
work to take advantage of the oppor-
tunity of giving to these young men
the truth about Cathoic teaching.
The student priests of the apostolic
mission house have very busy pro-
gramme for the Lenten season in the
churches in Washington, D. c.

Devotion to ST. Joseph.

By John Maryson in Rosary Magazine
The Mach winds blow, the pearly
cloudlets gay
Troop Ger the blue-thc meadows haste
to grow,
And all the green-touched woodlands
seem to know
Ills Joseph'S Day.
The quiet fields misty incense nav
And earliest blooms send fragrance m
the wind.
q dearest Saint, what offring can we
find
For Joseph's Day?
Naught can We bring of pomp or
proud display.
And thou, . Father, vast as poor as
we;
A loving heart and glad simplicity
FOR Joseph's Day.
Sid all the plsguing hosts of Care
away!
And be as trustful, calm and blythe as
he;
Haugbt canst thou ask that he'll not
give TO thee
ON Joseph's Day.
And when the sunshine spends its
latest ray
And nights unnumbered starry lights
TbouIt say, "a happy time of all the
yesrl
This JoseDh's Day."

Catholic Citizenship.

Archbishop Messner of Milwaukee
says: For Catholic citizens, it be-
comes a duty, in the exercise of their
citizens rights and their duties as
members of the organized society of
state, to do whatever they can in order
to shape the public life of the nation
and the laws of the nation on the lines
of Christian principles. That does not
mean that religion must be brought in
in everything that is called politics,
but means, for instance, that it is a
duty of the Catholic citizen, and the
Catholic layman, as citizen of so
ciety, that he must follow as su-
preme rule and law the welfare of the
country, and not his own private in
terests; that i'll matters of public well
fare and public concern, he must not
consider this or that person; he must
not be led by mere personal views. or
personal or human respect; but he is
bound by the law of Christian doc
trine, by the law conscience. to
vote and act according to principle

The interest displayed by this royal
lady-then a Protestant-in the con-

did not stop there; for shortly after
wards she donated a large bell, which
was dedicated in honor of st. Anne:
subsequently she offered a beautiful
monstrance, in proof of her gratitude
for the happy deliverance of her
daughter-in-law, Princess Margareth

The general public saw in these
donations nothing else than signs of
courtesy and politeness. Great was,

She sits beside her spinning wheel.
AS noon accents the Summer day;
Her eyes are ON the rock and reel,
Her memories are far away
From this old Irish homestead dear,
And yonder fields of ripening grain,
A loved voice whispers in her ear
A voice she may not hear again.
If youth lives in the future days,
Age dwells within d, haunted past
Ger one the sunrise casts it's rays
And tears upon her old hands fall
A voice, which sounds so faint and
low,
She hears the sweet word Mother
CALL
AS oft she heard it years ago.
She looks beyond the open door,
Her thoughts are murmured in a.
sigh,
The shadows lengthen on the floor,
And laughing children, trooping by.
Free from the schools restraint, re-
joice;
And in the dead past days again
She lives: and listens for the voice
She loved so well; and lists in vain.
w.
How silent seems that cabin home.
The school house door is open wide.
Those youth-crowned happy scholars
come,
AS sunbeams DER the meadows glide.
Intent she listens for the feet
To pause and enter at her door.
She measures time in each heart beat
She wakes, alas! they come no more.
The sounds, which on her old ears fall
The music in the linnet's tone,
The whispering Summer winds-recall
The one beloved. who left her lone.
The songs she sang when night brought
rest,
She often in the stiffness hears;
Yet solace summon to her breast,
Fen if their echo summons tears.

Her Mary of the soft brown hair,
And truthful eyes, remembered still
As when she lisped her nightly prayer
Beside her knee. Twas Gods good

With fearless heart and stainless SOUL
To help the mother loved at home.

That vale where Amer water flow;
The rugged crest of Slievenamon
Still sentinels the home below.

The parting, when she murmured low

Much sorrow; for she knows she holds
The whiteness of her soul still pure.
The whiteness of her soul unstained
She holds. fond mother far away;
Her love of virtue, still retained,
Her guide thro life from day to day.
Know thou no blush of shame may
flush
Her cheeks or brow: but full accord
Of praise from honest lips may rush
For days well spent-this her reward.
She kneels beside her spinning wheel,
Her thoughts have wandered far

The shadows of the evening steal
Across the floor-she kneels to pray
A mothers heart breathes in each tone,
Full of the pathos, which may flow
But from mothers lips alone
