THE OPEN DOOR TO THE CATH.
OLIc CHURCH.

As the vigorous and breezy organ of
the movement for spreading a knowl-
edge Of the faith amongst the nom
catholics of this country-the Mission
AIRY -observese, in many places in the
United States converts are simply CROP
Ing their way into the Catholic church
They are coming, 1t is true; but it is
in spite Of difficulties. The way to the
threshold of the church is strewn with
obstacles. and with obstacles that are
placed there by Catholics, although,
OF course, uncOnsciously so placed.
II the missionary spirit inspired the
heart of every Catholic there would
be calcium light placed on high over
every church door, so that everyone
might see the path to religious peace.
That same missionary spirit would
urge every Catholic to go out into the
paths that lead to the church and pick
out the stones of stumbling from the
ways of the seekers and lend a help
ing hand to the faint hearted. But how
is it frequently? Instead of the cal
cum light, the door of the church is
Shrouded in darkness. The wayfarers
are cropping their way in the obscuriTy.
Many stumble over some difficulty and
never go any farther. Many are scared
by phantoms Of their own imagination
and give up the seeking. To no one is
there wide open door or a pleasing
path, because conversion means sacri-
ices and hardships. Some. and oh so
few, comparatively, find the door and
are safely housed within. 1t is The hope
OF the non-CathOlic mission movement
tomake the paths plain to alto make
SO clear the porch of the church that
every wayfarer may find it, and so
pleasing an irresistible invitation to
stay and enjoy them. This is a large
contract and it viii take some years to
accomplish il. But enough has been
done to assure US that more will be
done. and enough has been done to con-
vince us that before many years the
paths viii be so lighted that no longer
will anyone have to grope in darkness.

MY LESSON.

Only to rest where He puts me,
Only to do His will;
Only TO be what He made.
Though L be nothing still.
Never to look beyond me,
Out of my little sphere.
If / could fill another,
God would not keep me here.
Only to take what He gives me,
Meek as a little child;
Questioning nought of the reason,
Joyful or reconciled.
Only to take what He gives me,
Patiently, gladly today,
With never a thought of the morrow,
Leaning on Him all the way.
Only to watch in the working,
Lest I should miss His smile,
Striving to still earth's voices,
Looking to Him all the while.
Only to look to Him ever,
Only to rest at His feet,
All that He sayeth to do it,
Then shall my life be complete.

Confession.
1t is the correct thing;

II - .tHe COIIGCI lIlIS
For parents TO have their children go
to confession as soon as they reach the
age of reason, generally considered to
be when they reach their seventh year.
For parents or teachers to assist their

conscience for their first confession.
To have children go to confession
every three months until they make
their first communion.
For adults to go to confession once a
month
For women and children and those
who are not employed during the day
to go to confession in the afternoon,
and leave the evenings and the hour
just before supper for men and women

To examine the conscience we'll before
going into the confessional, and thus
avoid unnecessary delay.
For pehitent TO take his proper turn
in going into the confessional, and not
TO try to get in ahead of some one else.

WHEN THOU WILT CAL.

BY KATHERINE FRELTNGER
When wilt Thou call, my God?
Q shall it be when palest flowers
Are opening in the sunlit bowers.
When trees are yelled in sheerest green
And in each wayside brook is. seen.
Flung back in new and glad surprise
The image of the deep blue skies?
or shall it be when morning dew
Sleeps all the woodside blossome blue.
When birds awake and joyous sing.
Aud TO their tasks fond promise bring
When children's mirth fills all the air.
And men arise to do and dare?
