solemn part of the mass. But these
ulgnltaries are SO highly elevated above

sCclates of the apOstleship of prayer
we are faithful to our various duties
as matter Of course; but at the same
time we are always eagerly looking for
the apostolic tendency in whatever orr
present duties may be The old pro-
verb says: Like priests. like people
Here is the apostolic drift Of our duty
or praying for the Parish Priests. If
our prayer Sanctifies an ordinary
Christian soul it does a grelI and noble
work indeed; but if it sanctifes the
soul of Parish Priest, il does i'm
meaSurably more. because it uplifts all
me souls under the care Of the Parish
Priest. Like priest. like people"
1t is pleasure and a duty and a
most important apostolic work TO pray
for the Parish Priests Our Holy |
Father places this general intention be-
fore the associates of the aDostleship |
for this month in order to remind them |
that they can do more than merely |
pray for the Priests. They can assist |
their Priests i'm many ways: they can
increase their influence by showing
them public respect. by speaking we'll
of them. by bringing them into con-
tact with the black sheep of the pa
IRISH, by contributing their own little
mite to the collections taken up for the
benefit OF the church or of other charit-
able purposes. This kind of apostolic
work ought TO be very dear 10 US, be-
cause charity begins at home.

The Catholic Side.

You may meet Catholics every day
who think the church is wrong in thu
present conflict in Franch How ac-
count for this? 1t is easy. They read
the daily papers. They don't read the
Catholic papers. They get the news:
but they don't get the Catholic view
from the Catholic standpoint. The i'm
preston cultivated by the cable news
is that the French government has
been forbearing: and the Pope agrees
5ive. All The leading secular papers of
This country, with few notable ex-
ceptiOns, have printed moderate lard
for that reason more effective) edi-
torials favoring the anti-clerical policy.
The Catholic press alone acquaints
readers with the whole story and ths,
true conclusions. So it happens that
those Catholics who do not read the
Catholic press on this very Catholic
matter are adopting the non-Catholic

BOSTON. Mass. is now noted Cor Nae

Boston, Mass. is now noted for the
great number of Catholic inhabitants
it possesses. although formerly it was
noted for its opposition to religious lib
erty for Catholics. though the Massa-
chusetts metropolis owes its name to a
Catholic saint says the Davenport, Ia,
Catholic Messenger. Early in the sew
enth century, a monk named Botolph
founded a church in what is now Lin
colshipe, England, and the towns which
grew up around the church was called
Botolphstown. AS happened in so many
other cases, the British tendency to
contracted forms of speech. changed
the name successfully into Botolph-
ston, Bostoton and finally Boston.
When John Cotton came to the New
World from that town, he named the
New England village after his native
town, Boston. The good monk would
be assured now of a hearty reception
if he were allowed to revisit the New
World city whose name recalls his piety
and zeal in a century long gone by.

And whispers. Don't talk TOO loud -

Where the old cat lies down dead
And we sway and we sing, TO a ting-a-

And scatters it with her fan.
And we breathe very deep. for were

A Victim of Gossip.

There are many murder cases
which never come into the courts. In
city in Essex county a woman lies
dead. killed not by the hand, but by
the tongue of neighbor. She was
living with her married son, and he
was providing for her support accord
ing to the laws of God and man. when
a gossipy friend" interfered, making
believe that she was a burden to her
son and it was wrong for her to de-
pend uDon him
BY brooding over the thought her
mind became affected and she refused
to eat. 1t was only n few days before
her feeble body was worn out by fast
ing and worriment, and she died, vic
tim Of gossip.
There is no human law TO punish the
persons who commit such murders, but
the judgment of God. at the last day,
will not fail

The Name Of Jesus.

(By NJ L. Henry Ruffin)
j murmur Thy name il the darkness,
And il brightens the pathway dim;
] sigh ii soft over grief's chaiice,
To sweeten the bitter rim.
/ pray it down deep ia heart-tempests
And the lips of anger grow dumb:
A calm DER the strife of the spirit
In its faintest whisper will come.
Like the mastering soul Of true music,
1t bids barsher voices cease;
And it's tone. high DER the worlds dis
cord,
Brings Gods own harnony-Peace.
when the path of my soul grows
tangled,
At the touch Of that Name so sweet,
My hands fall out of their bondage
And free are the prisened feet.
Q Name that is rest and shelter,
And light 10 the heart perpleNed,
IN this life nay last word and dearest
My rapturous first in the Next.

The flute-voiced birds take up the cry
Good morning
And nearer home. beneath the caves.
The gnarled old naples tender leaves

Now whisper at my window pane:

And laughs across my window sill.

The sun-kissed breezes charge and ride
Straight through the breach in merry

And scale the walls and fairly shout:

They make me captive to the King,
They pluck at me and bid me sing
T heir paean to the Golden Day,
Whose conquering slogan is their gay

They frolic here, they scamper there,
They clutch the singing birds in air,
On all the world their music beats
Until the captive world repeats

Who scorred his neighbor yesternight,
With smiling visage stops to greet
That neighbor in the busy street:

To hearten all who toll and plod.
We hail thee, Conquerer and King.
We hug our golden chains and sing:

Are We to Have a Puritan sundav7

Just as we anticipated The law
makers at the state capital are getting
busy grinding out crimes and misde-
meanors with adequate fines and pen
alties. One of the latest. dealing with
restrictions to personal liberty. is a law
forbidding baseball on SUNDAYS. In
the name OF common sense. what oh
ject is to be attained by depriving peo-
pie of innocent and healthful recrea
ton on Sundays? Is it not a day of rest
and recreation? If one attends TO his
obligations by devoting a con-
siderable portion of the Sunday to the
worship of God. why put restrictions
upon national and non-criminaI recrea-
ton afteTward? Do our lawmakers
propose to introduce the Puritanical
Blue Laws, that resemble the teachings
of the TaImud, and turn the Sunday
into a day Of slothfulness? Must we all

A beautiful smile is to the cOunte-
nance what the sunbeam is to the
landscape; it embellishes an inferior
face, and redeems au ugly one. A
smile. however. should not become ha-
bitual or insipidity is the result; nor
should the mouth break into a smile
on one side, the other remaining pas
sive and unmoved; for this imparts
an air of deceit and grotesqueness to
the face A disa greeable smile distorts
the lines of beauty, and is more re-
puIsive than a frown. There are many
kinds of smiles. each having a distinct
character. Some announce goodness
and sweetness; others betray sarcasm,
bitterness and pride; some soften the
countenance by their languishing ten
derness; other brighten by their spi-
ritual Vivacity.-Lavater

| He strolls in to Mass at the "Sanctus,
! Or maybe a moment before:
| And lest he should bother his neigh
| borS.
He drops on one knee of the door.
! Good seats near the altar are vacant:
| In fact, there is room and to spare:
But why should he push himself for
ward?
! He'd be so conspicuous there
He doesn't look uD at the altar,
But keeps his gaze bent on the G95F,
We notice him vawning a little.
AS though it all were g bore
He squats for the last benediction.
And then. ere the service is through.
We look for him there in the back
ground
And find he has melted from view.
So strange, Now we fancied we saw
him
Last night at the vaudeville show:
1t seemed TO us then he was fighting
To get in the very front row.
He must have been there before
He headed the line that was waiting
Outside of the gallery door.
And when the door opened, good gra-
ciOuS,
How active he was in the race
Upstairs. and then over the benches
And down TO the very first place
My! How he applauded the singing
And laughed at the jokes that were
cracked.
His eyes never leaving the foootlights
Transhxed till the very last act
This can't be the same man this
morning
This slowest and dullest of chaps
We must have seen some other fell
low
Last evening-his brother, perhaps. !

Sorrow Is sorrow wherever YOU find
il, and no bank account can purchase
immunity. A grave is a grave. wheth-
er there is q costly monument above it
or only a headstone of marble. When
you reckon with actual experience you
discover they are independent of
wealth or poverty and come TO all
alike, and when you look at the hearts
of men you find the same measure of
human nature in them all. Now, when
we take our departure, what shall we
carry with us?
