Evolution of Chemistry.
The first chemists were the alchem-
lists, who for hundreds of years vainly
tried to make gold by compromising va
rious chemicals. Chemistry was intro
duced into Spain by the Moors in 1850,
and the Chinese and Egyptians claimed
an early acquaintance with it. Howev-
er, chemistry was not science until
the seventeenth century. Boerhaave
was the first to combine the study of
chemistry with medicine and since
then its evolution has been rapid.

THE GENERAL INTENTION.
recommended by His Holiness
Plus K,
THE HEART OLE MARY

me reason this devotion is spoken Of
'as Devotion TO the Heart of Mary. in
slead OF devotion TO the Blessed Vir-
Bin, simply, is because the mention of
nef heart suggests the unselfish love of
GOD Of His blessed Mother and of our
Fellow beings. with which this devotion
should inspire us.
Under different titles is the heart Of
Mary honored. There is first. for in
stance, her "Sorrowful Heart" her
heart which was pierced by a sword of
grief according to the prophecy of
Simeon; and we are all familiar with
} the pictures which represent her heart
pierced over and over again. as each
new sorrow afflictfng her divine Son
and herself came into her life from His
/ very infancy, when Herod sought to
destroy Him, until His enemies actual
JY succeeded in putting Him to death
Then, the Immaculate Heart of
Mary reminds us not only of her i'm
maculate conception. but of her STAIN
lcSsness all through her life and of her
perfection in every grace that could
make her pleasing to God and to man.
Finally, there is the Most Pure Heart
OF our blessed Mother, which means not
only that she was stainless and full of
grace, but that her every affection was
without division or reserve centered
upon Almighty God. as worthy above
All things Of the love of His creatures,
or upon those creatures. only i'm so far
as they image His projections.
No matter how we regard the heart
of Mary, the thought Of it should in
spire us with high and beautiful ideals.
and our trust in her should renew our
courage to endeavor to be worthy sons
of such a beautiful mother

The Easter Duty.

In the performance of our full duty
/ as Catholics it is not enough that we
! keep only the commandments of God,
our Father. That is not the entire OBJ
/ legation; there still remains something
! else, which is the observance of the
precepts of the church. our mother.
These are laws instituted by Gods rep
/ resentative for our spiritual welfare.
/ To them we owe complete obedience,
for God has said. "he that viii not hear
the church, let him be TO thee as the
heather and publican
The laws in question are six in num-
Der, and are called precepts of the
church. They are binding on all the
faithful. By the fourth of these we are
commanded to receive the Blessed Eu-
charist at least once a year, and the
time fixed for it is Easter. or there
abouts. Hence it has come to be COM
monty designated as the Easter duty.
Two things. therefore, naturally sug-
gest themselves here to all of us. The
first what is the reason of the injunc-
ton. and the second, within what time
must the duty be performed? Every
Catholic has learned the answer to each
in childhood, but perhaps, the many
cares Of life have made them dim. II
may not be amiss, therefore, to repeat
them. We are commanded to commu-
nicate by the church at this time be-
cause it was during this time, namely,
on Maundy Thursday, that the Holy
Eucharist was instituted. as a mark of
our Savior's love for mankind; in mem
DRY of his death and our redemption.
Then, as the time fixed for the per-
Torrance of the duty. In this country
it begins with the first Sunday of Lent,
and extends to Trinity Sunday. During
this period every Catholic of proper age
is bound to receive holy communion I'M
der the pain of mortal sin. No one is
exempted. Sickness even that pre-
cludes the getting to church will not
suffice as an excuse. The obligation
still remains, and the pastor of the
church should be notified that he may
bring communion to those so incapaci-
tated. This is the whole doctrine, and
those who desire to continue living, ac-
tive members of the church. must COM
ply with it.-Calendar
