1t Is the almost universal experience
OF lumbermen and others who have done
business on the Kennebec river, that
when there Is a large amount OF snow on
the ground, it has always gone away
gently and gradually, under the ii flu
ence OF the sunshine and warm southerly
winds, thus avoiding big freshet, which
is always dreaded on the river. Let us
all sincerely hope and pray that his will
be the experience OF the present season
when we have with US such vast
amount of snow piled up as the product
OF some forty storms.

NOTHING Bur leaves

by Rev. William O'Brien Pardow)
He found nothing on the fig tree
but leaves. st. Matt. xxi, 10.
Nothing but leaves The spirit
grieves
over a wasted life;
Sin committed while conscience slept
Promise made, but never kept;
Nothing but leaves.
Nothing but leaves" No garnered
sheaves
Of life's fair. ripened grain.
Words, idle words, for earnest deeds.
We sow the seeds-lo! tares and
weeds.
We reap. with toll and pain,
Nothing but leaves.
Nothing but leaves" Memory
weaves
No veil to screen the past:
And as we trice our weary way.
Counting each lost or misspent day,
We find sadly at last
Nothing but leaves.
AND shall we meet the Master so,
Bearing our withered leaves?
The Savior looks for ripened fruit;
And shall we stand before Him mute,
With nothing but leaves?

The Month of the Sacred Heart.

Closely upon the month of May fol-
lows the month of the Sacred Heart
the month that calls upon US to turn
our thoughts to him who took mans
nature on him in the womb of the Vir-
gin Mary and who is set for our eX-
ample as the one meek and humble
of heart" He himself has said it:
Come to me, all you that labor and
are burdened, and I will refresh you.
Take up my woke upon you, and learn
of me. because am meek, and humble
of heart: and you shall find rest to
your souls. For my yoke is sweet and
my burden light" (St Matthew vi,
$500
Few of US. perhaps, realize the close
connection between devotion to the
Sacred Heart of Jesus and the price
less gifts Of meekness. humility and
peace in our own hearts. Yet we may
confidently hope that if we carefully
and prayerfully practice devotion to
the Sacred Heart these great gifts
means simply to have picture of the
Sacred Heart on our affairs, at home
and in church; to pay visits to them.
AMI decorate them with flowers and
lights. No, it means that we should
look up steadfastly to the statue to
that worn, bleeding. cross-croH1ed and
thoIn-surroun6ed Heart and make
Christs Heart our study and our ex-
ample in our daily lives. To initiate
the Heart Of Jesus is to do it the truest
homage.
How shall we initiate it? We shall
initiate it by bearing with meellness
all trials and troubles that come upon
us in and every way. AS we study
Christ's meekness and Christis hunil-
ity-as we pray to him: Jesus, meek
hi of RI
like unto tiline'-as we stand in spirit
beside the cross. where the Sacred
Heart was broken and pictured for the
love of us and of the human race
the graces of that Heart will begin to
flow into our own weary hearts and
make them like to it.
SO, gradually, there shall come to us
his promised rest. For how shall we
not rest, interiorly, even though storms
rage wildly round us, how shall we
not rest, who are learning to bear all
trial and pain with Jesus and like
Jesus? He will quiet our tortured
nerves. he will calm our aching brows,
he will soothe our sensitive and trou-
bled souls. He was a sufferer once,
like us; and it was for us and for our
fellow men that he suffered. Grad
ually we shall come to love our fellow
men, to be patient with them. to have
divine charity for them; and surely
such love as that must help to give us
rest.
So, every day. and often. through |
every day of this bright month of June, |
let us repeat this little prayer with |
deep earnestness: Jesus, meek and |
humble of heart make my heart like |
unto thine" Yes. patient, humble, |

General Intention.

We are asked to pray during July
for souls in a state of mortal sin. AS
the Irish Messenger says, in presenting
possible to propose to the prayerful
consideration of our associates an in
tention that more intimately concerns
the interests of the Sacred Heart and
the extension of his kingdom on earth
than the conversion of souls that are
in the state of mortal sin. Just as
when we look upon the ocean we can
only see the comparatively tiny tract
of sea that is contained within the
very limited horizon of our mental
vision. while a waste of waters
stretches, boundless and unseen, for
many thousand miles, perhaps beyond
they sky line, so when. with mental
vision. we would strive to discover the
extent and malice of a mortal sin, our
weak human intellect can only see that
tiny tract of wickedness that lies with
in the narrow limits of our human
comprehension.
And yet the wonder of it all is this.
that. at the word of absolution from a
priest, or even pending sacramental
q dissolution, at the first heartfelt cry of
perfect sorrow in the heart, that per-
feet contrition, as it is termed, which
is easier far to have than many people
fancy, the poor dead soul is raised to
life and restored to all its matchless
beauty and its inheritance of never
and grace is won by prayer. Each

The Catholic Press.

Our tabulation of the Catholic press
of the United States is in some re-
spects reassuring, and in others not. 1t
shows:
That Catholics sustain more church
papers than any other denomination.
That from a third to a fourth of all
the religious publications in the Unit
ed States are Catholic publications
This is rather more than our share.
The aspect that is not reassuring is
the economic waste involved. We are
sustaining too many periodicals that
are merely handbills, leaflets, begging
propositions and piety penances. All
this does not make for strong or eff
fective Catholic press. There is too
much catering to parochial vanity and
special interest. The line of true &c
velopment is consolidation, cooperation
and the making of better, more varied
and higher grade papers.-Catholic Cit

negro arraigned in a New York
court the other day, while his wife was
giving evidence against him. began
making some mystic signs to the mag
istrate, who, noticing the antics of the
prisoner, leaned over the desk and
asked:
Are you a Mason?"
The prisoner grinned and said that he
was.
Il thought So" said the magistrate
For the last five minutes you have
been trying to give me some sort of
sign of distress. Now I am not a
Mason, and you have made big mis-
take. If I were, and you tried that
game on me, I'd send you up to Harris
Island to dig graves for a time"
The negro apologized and said he
would try Masonic signs no more on
this or any other magistrate But an
odd case like this does not remove the
suspicion that Masonic oaths of fra
ternity are sometimes potent to hood

When Saints Elourished.

Read the lives Of saints. There have
been saints of all ages, all ranks, all
conditions. Many retained baptismal
innocence, others had been great sin
ners. They were subject to the same
passions. habits and temptations as
ourselves. and sometimes to greater
that is. they had as many or more OBJ
stacles to surmount. And it is remark
able that the church never won more
saints than in those first ages when
the profession of Christianity was a
pledge of Neutrality-suspicious. Max

one of us, by prayer, may win the
grace that saves the fallen soul. Every
moment of the day full many a soul
is passing through the gates of death.
1t trembles for moment on the brink,
then falls forever into hell. A fervent
prayer sent up, mass well heard a
sacrifice or act of self-denial made,
would, perhaps, have won that price
less treasure of soul forever for the
Sacred Heart But no, the agonlzlnS
Heart of Christ must bleed in silent
anguish as il casts that soul from it
forever. because no faithful lover of the
Sacred Heart was there to give help
ing hand and send the fervent cry to
heaven that would have brought the
grace of true repentance to the sin
ner's deathbed. Catholic News.
