The Church and Charity.

DR.. Henry A. Brann, writing in the
Catholic World of February, says:
christianity alone made benevo-
lence universal and perfect, instead Of
being limited and national, as it was
among the Hebrews. The root of the
spiritual and corporal works of mercy
is found in the teachings and in the
life of Christ. He was God who sac
rificed himself absolutely for the bene-
fit Of others, giving up his glory and
power for the sake of others. He did
not die for any transgression of his
own. His birth in manger, his death
ON cross, the tortures Of his passion,
were all for the sake Of others. His
life and conduct are models of perfect
benevolence, perfect philanthropy, per-
feet altruism, perfect charity. His
teaching that all men are brothers,
children of the same Father in Heav-
en-, that we must love our neighbor
as ourselves, even though they be ene-
mies-a teaching of which he set
perfect example on Calvary, by pray
ing for the enemies who had tortured
him-logically led to acts Of charity
among his followers. The prayer,
Our Father the petition to be for
given as we forgive, the lesson to look
on every sick, hungry and suffering
man as his representative, produced
the wonderfully rapid change which
Christianity and Christians made in
the Roman world. The new command
ment to love one another was mani.
tested first in his apostles and priests,
a body of men selected to be the serv-
ants of others, ready to sacrifice
health and life on the altar Of duty for
those who suffer; body of men halted
by no physical dangers, repelled by no
loathsomeness Of disease, from sacri-

divine joy that sometimes filled his
heart amply repaid him for all the
dangers and sufferings he underwent
in his long voyages. The noblest souls
of the Catholic church have gone be-
fore you to follow the missionary vo-
catlon-are daily going from all the
old nations Of Europe. They bid adieu
forever to home and kindred, they tear
asunder the sweetest bonds of human
attachment, they forsake their very
names and mother tongues to bear the
banner of the cross beyond the FROM
tiers of Christendom. They combine
in this the heroism of finely constituted
natures with the supernatural graces
Of high spiritual perfection.
And how much more perfect is the
profession Of piety when it enables
one to rise superior to family, race,
caste, and every other form of mar
rowness. When man has risen above
his own blood, he has gone far in the
conquest of SELF and little remains
between him and God. The young
man who comes to our seminary or COL
lege with a sincere heart has put un-
der foot one of the most powerful ene-
mics Of Christian charity-race preju-
dice. His faith is truly universal,
strictly Catholic, and his charity tai
lies with it. The truly Godlike man
longs to be adorned with some mark
of universally, and there is none more
significant Of predestination to eternal
life than that of the missionary. He
has near view of truth. He has
broad and loving view of humanity.
Therefore, we in, ite our Catholic
youths to consider the missionary vo-
cation for the conversion of the Negro
race in America. Make it a subject of
prayer. Ask the Holy Spirit to guide
you. Take advice of spiritual men.
1mplore the prayers of the Mother Of
God. Ask the intercession Of st, JOS
eph, under whose invocation our work
is dedicated to God.
If you have any inquiries to make,
we shall be glad to answer them.

Care Of the Ears.

The following are few valuable
rules for the care Of the ears:
Never NEEDLE with the ear if a for.
eign body, such as bead, seed or pei.
let, enters it. Leave it absolutely
alone and have physician attend to
ii.
Never put anything in the ear for
tie relief of toothache.
Never apply a ,poultice to the inside
of the canal of the ear.
Never drop anything into the ear un.
less it has been previously warmed.
Never use anything but a syringe
and warm water for cleansing the
ears.
Never strike Or box childs ears
This has been known to rupture the
drumhead and cause incurable deaf.
ness.
Never wet the hair if you have any
tendency to deafness. Wear an oiled
silk cap when bathing, and refrain
from diving.
Never scratch the ears with any.
thing but the fingers if they itch. Dc
not use the head Of pin, hairpins
pencil tips or anything of that nature
Never let the feet become cold and
damp OF sit with the back toward q
window, as these things tend to ag
gravate any existing hardness OF
hearing.
Never put milk, fat or any oil sub
stance into the ear for the relief OF
pain, for they soon become rancid an6
tend to incite Inflammation. Simple
warm water will answer the purpose
better than anything else.
Never be alarmed il an insect enters
the ear. Pouring warm water into the
canal will drown it, when it will gen
orally come to the surface and can be
easily removed by the fingers. A few
puffs of smoke blown into the ear viii
stupefy the insect and it can then bt
removed with safety.

AN APPEAL
To Catholic Youas Men II Behalf OF
Nepr6sx stoIate.

Negro; ;xrsstoIats.
My Dear Catholic Young Men,
There are fully eleven millions Of the
African race i'll this country, less than
100000 of whom are members of the
True Church. Yet the colored people
are naturally intelligent, have admir-
able moral qualities, and are remark
ably gifted by nature with the re-
ligious sense.
Taken as a body, this people is not
averse to Catholicity. On the contrary,
the missionary efforts already made
have demonstrated, not only the gen.
eral religious traits we have NEIL
toned, but a particular aptitude for
the Catholic faith and discipline
Wherever intelligent anG jealous ef-
forts have been undertaken to evangel-
ize them, these have resulted in con-
versions, and this is especially the case
in localities where our holy religion
had been very little known. We have
found the negroes easy to convert. We
have scarcely found any difficulty in
opening schools, to which non-C -Catho-
lies willingly send their children, in
the face of the certainty that they
would there be trained up in the Cath
olic faith. In country places we have
been able to gather about us numerous
audiences Of colored people, not one
of whom was a Catholic; and to estab-
lish Catholic schools in their midst.
There is ripe harvest ready for
cleaning at our very doors. A whole
race Of men, newly elevated to the dig
nifty Of American citizenship, whose
career in the world is barely begin
ming, is willing to hear the Word Of
Life, and the futrue of the race de-
pends upon the success of the Catholic
church among them.
The Word must be preached, but the
difficulty is to obtain apostolic men to
preach that Word. From every part
OF the South the loud call for negro
missionaries is heard. The bishops of
the Southern states are asking for mis-
sionaries to open churches and schools
in their dioceses. The answer, hitherto,
has always been no. But, by the provi-
dence of God, st. Joseph's seminary,
and its feeder, the Epiphany Apostolic
college, have been established to sup
Fly this rich harvest field with apos-
tolic laborers. Already many young
men are assembled in these institu-
tions, pursuing their studies and exer-
cising themselves in the virtues of
their heroic vocation. Their hearts are
aflame with the fire of that divine love
for souls which our blessed Savior
came on earth to scatter among men,
and which the breath of His Holy
Spirit is daily enkindling in the choic-
est souls. We invite you to join them.
We cannot invite you to join them
by promising an easy life in the priest
hood. There is no such thing for any
good priest, least of all for a mission
ary. But we dare affirm that the con-
solations Of the missionary life will
give you reward sufficient to COM
pensate for hardships thousand times
greater than it is possible for man to
bear. st. Francis Xavier wrote home
from India, that one minute of the

Misfit "Frsnt Names"

Misfit "Frent Names"
There are some foolish people Of Irish
blood in America who, fearing that
their telltale surnames may handicap
them or their children in business or
social life, try to modify them by what
they would call their "front names,"
| thus effecting extraordinary misfts,
says the Boston Pilot. How such good
old names US O'Donnell, Burke, Nc
Carthy, O'Reilly and Dillon, for exam
pie, full Of meaning and history and
dignity, are weakened by coupling
them with such appellations as Rex,
Or Royal, or Parke, Or Edythe! The
practice is the less excusable since
there are plenty Of Celtic Christian
names which are not only honorable
because borne by saints, martyrs and
patriots, but are usually poetic and
euphonious also. Here is list, nearly
all those of Irish saints, which cor
respondent contributes to the Drogheda
Argus:
Male-Aidan, Art, Brian, Cathaldus,
Cahai, COLUMBIA or Columbanus, ca.
nice, C0nor or Con, Celestine or Cele,
Desmond, Donogl, Donal, Eogan or
Owen, Eunan, Fechan, Fergus, Ailye,
Brendan, Benignus, Cormac, Colman,
Colin, Cronan, CELSIUS, Dermond, Dec
Ian, EnNla, Emon, Fintan, Flann, Fe-
lin or Felimy, Finian or Finn, Finbar,
lbar or lvOr, Jarlath, Kicrnan, Lua,
Miles, Martin, Malcolm, Murty, Mum
chin, Patrick, Roman, Synan or Senan,
Thndy, Theobad, Humphrey, Kevin,

tn, Murrough, Mall, Redmond, Rory,

Fedelmia, Flanna, Ita or Mida, Kath-
leen. Mora, Necvcc, Shccla, Sablna,
Una, Leila, Meva, Moia, Nora, Nuala,
Sorclla, Trea.
OF course we do not question the
right of people Of Irish blood to avail
themselves Of the common heritage Of
strong, simple and beautiful names
which come to us from the Scriptures
or from the unbrokcn succession of
saints since the birthday of the church.
Indeed, the Catholic Irish in their own
land have rather notable fOndness
for Scripture names-Jcrcmiah David
Daniel, Timothy and the names of the
Apostles, evangclists and disciples gen.
orally being only little less familiar
than Patrick and Michael among the
MEN: while after Mary and Bridget,
the Sarahs, Judiths, Susans, Esthcrs,
Elizabethsand Johannas abound among
the women. For the sake of the weak
er brethren, let us be thankful that
fashion is moving in the lines of Chris
tian common sense. and that pet
names and cheap novel names are COM
pletely out Of date. Many people of
other race lines have rejoiced in the
Celtic names of Desmond, Donal. Fer
gus, Eileen, Finola, Una, Kathleen and
Nora. Let us hope the Celtic revival
will reinstate them among their own.

In his beautiful poem called the
Proclamation, John Greenlief Whit
tier pays this tribute to our Saint, and
passing to the teaching of the ancient
faith:
Saint Patrick, slave to Milcho of the
herds
or Ballymena, wakened at these
words:
"Arise and flee."
"Out from the land OF bondage, and
be free!"
Glad as soul in pain, who hears
from heaven
The angels singing Of his sins for
given,
And, wondering, sees
His prison opening to their golden
keys.
He arose a man who laid him down a
slave,
Shook from his locks the ashes of the
grave,
And outward trod
Into the glorious liberty Of God.
He cast the symbols of his shame
away;
And passing where the sleeping Milcho
lay,
Though back and limb
Smarted with wrong, he prayed,
God pardon him!'
So went he forth; but in Gods time
he came
To light OH Uillines hills holy fame;
And, dying, gave
The land Saint that lost him as
slave.
And then addressing the slaves lust
freed by the Proclamation this sweet
singer says:
Oh, dark sad millions, patiently and
dumb
Waiting for God, your hour, at last,
has come
And freedoms song
Breaks the long silence Of your night
of wrong!
Arise and flee! Shake off the vile re-
straint
OF ages; but, like Rallymena's Saint
The oppressor spare,
Heap only on his head the Goals of
prayer
Go forth, like him! like him return
again,
TO bless the land whereon in bitter
pain
Ye toiled at first,
And heal with freedom what your
slavery cursed

tive speech delivered by Judge Kelly
at the Auditorium in this city on st.
Patrick's night. The speaker was ut
his best and in direct and forcible
manner portrayed the influence of St.
Patrick and his work. The main part
of the speech was devoted to Ireland's
struggles during the last century.
The speaker brcathed the same spirit
which has sustained the Irish cause
for seven centuries. The speech of
Judge Kelly was as follows:
God save all here! Somewhat a
stranger at your gates, this gentle
greeting Of the Irisbman when he
crosses n neighbor's threshold rises
from heart to lip. Whether may
merit the equally gentle response, God
save you, kindly, is of little moment,

The history of every nation is writ

poets, himself an immortal, has sung:
