There are many societies for women in
connection with the Roman Catholic Church
In this city, but there Is scarcely one that
appeals more to the churchgoer than that
OF the Association of Perpetual Alteration
and OF Work for Poor Churches, sometimes
known as the Tabernacle Society. What
this organization does Is epitomized In
the Aforementioned title-"Work for Poor
Churches" The association Is established
here In q capacious home on v street north
west near the corner OF 14th street. where
the ladies Of the organization assemble
every day In the week except Saturday
and prepare yestments and altar linens for
the use Of poor Catholic Churches. and in
cidentaliy provide other requisites for the
celebration Of mass.
It Is regarded as an admirable organixa-
ton. for its scope and influence have
not only been for the benefit of Wash
ington and vicinity. but countrywide. and
In some cases going beyond the seas
But the Tabernacle Society was, nrst OF
all. local organization. and 1t Is. there
fore, matter OF distinct pride to Wash
ington Catholics that work propagated
and furthered by women of the national
capital should be a benefit to the Catholic
Church at large in this country. St.
rocked many well-known Washington Cath
Ole institutions, was also the birthplace OF
the Tabernacle Society Of Washington. and
to the guiding hand of Father Keane, at
lnat time dSSlSldut pdStOT VI lue CuuTcii,
now archbishop of Dubuque was due the
success of the coterie OF ladies who, In
April 1876, formed the society. They
united for the purpose Of making altar
linens. especially for the use OF priests IN
administering the sacraments to the sick in
houses whose inmates were unable to pro-
vide suitable accommodations.
Year after year the ladies OF the Taber-
nacle Society are said to have carried on
their work quietly and unostentatiously.
The good they were doing was known only
to few, and to have learned how many
missionary priests were gratified by the
reception of box. the contents OF which
enabled them to celebrate mass In be-
coming manner, It would have been neces-
sary to traverse the entire American CONT
nent and visit many remote mountain mis-
sions and wayside inns.
This work was carried on until the COM

lenterl CHARGE.
BY Bishop Henry Y. Satterlee.

We all know that the demand for realty
In religion is a striking characteristic IN
the present day. In the recent past there
has silently grown up, side by side Win
the spread of unbelef. a strange reverence
for the character of Jesus Christ; and. as
this reverence keeps increasing, the cry
grows louder and louder that the members
of His church are not honestly following
such a Master. Many even go so far as 10
say that at the present day. the example
of pseudo Christians Is the chief hindrance

how plainly Christ's teachings and the

AS Christians, we are to stand out from

standard of Christ in all the relations OF

Simplicity of motive is the keynote OF

AN EvANGELIsTs PRECEPTs.

Rev James b. Clayton Peoples Mission.
Jesus Himself, not what is said about
Him, Is the evangel.
Christian music begins in the empty sepuI-
chre of the risen Christ.
There Is no music in the cross, but the
cross is the center of religion.
Thousands delighted in Sankey's singing
who began to fidget when Moody preached
repentance.
AS absurd for fat worm to sheer at a
lean one as for rich man TO sheer at hun
cry poverty.
Jesus not only spoke of love: He was love.
His heart united Gods love for man, and
mans love for humanity.
Test your religion by its worth in service.
not its luxury of sentiment It's final value
lies in its good SamaritanisIn.
The Gospel Is person, not an It. "Of
him are We In Christ Jesus who is made
unto US wisdom and righteousness, and
sanctification and redemption"
Cryless and give morel 1t is one thing
to be concerned about 'the heathens and
missionary; quite another thing 70 believe
that both the heather and the missionary
are your brothers, who may need your
money as well as your tears.
The Gospel ends with song palm
branch. harp and crown. Newman, who
wrote Lead, Kindly Light" passed out of
the shadow into the shining with smiling
face and whispered utterance: II hear the
music of Heaveni It's all sunshine now"
Father" How often that name for God
was upon Christ's lips! To the Pharisees
God was Jehovah. to Jesus He was
Father" Take that name from the evan
gel and the gospel loses all It's music How
do you know that God loves you? When
your heart, looking Him In the sace whose
best name is love, cries Father
Christ Is Gods love-song. When He spoke
of love men were charmed as though arch
angels sang TO the symphonies lof seraphs;
but when He said do, /" repent" take
up thy cross it was q discord in the song;
and many who smarveIled at the gracious
words that proceeded out of His mouth
turned away from Him when he spoke of
duty.
Christianity alone gives men a singing

the very shadow of His cross, as He and
His disciples went from the upper room

dawn to sing the praises of Christ Ours is
