Duties of God-Parents.

The duties of god-parents or sponsors
receive little attention these days: at
least not near as much as they deserve.
Of course, the honor Of being selected
as a god-parent is appreciated: an Of
fering is made at the baptism and per-
haps an occasional little birthday pres
ent marks the passing years. But how
little is this compared with the de-
mands of Holy Mother church on all
who assume the great responsibility!
Her purpose is not TO impose an OBJ
legation: hence she calls that relation
which exists between the child and
god-parent, spiritual relationship
That the selection may be the best

and woman: they must be practical

go, of course, the lesser ones, and a
special devotion to its temporal well
fare is also demanded. How far these
are respected may be best
seen by considering the case of the

parents assuming these duties when the
child is left homeless? Yet over uncles

a Good Lie.

If you would lead a good life and be
at peace with God and your conscience
it is well 10 observe these rules:
!. AS much as possible avoid all dan
gerOuS occasion of sin. such as drink
ing, bad company, sinful amusements,
bad or dangerous readings.
.. If possible, go every month to the
sacraments. Remember that without
the strength of the sacraments, you
cannot resist your temptations and in
clinations to sin. for we all have within
us wonderful power of SHINING.
3. Never remain away from mass on
Sundays or holy days of obligation,
when you are able to attend.
4. Never neglect your daily prayers.
Prayer is the key to heaven.
5. Every day read chapter of some
good religious book: such as the Sin
ner's Guide" the Following of
Christ" or Memorial of a Christian
Life" or one of "Challoner's Medita-
tons"
6. Every day offer to the Blessed
Mother at least third part of her
holy rosary, or five mysteries of the
beads; and may our dear Lord and his
Blessed Mother watch over you during
life, and at the hour of death. and
finally bring you to a happy eternity

THE MOTHER OF MUSIC.
Musical Science First Cultivated by
Priests in Beautiful Catholic
Liturgy

In conversation with an American
visitor recently. Plus X declared him
self well satisfied with the progress of
! the rehabilitation OF the Gregorian
| Chant in the Roman Catholic churches
OF this country. At the same time he
significantly asserted that he was not
in favor of the complete exclusion of
ali church music other than the Gre
gorian; all that he asks was that there
should be nothing worldly. Doubtless
II has been the misfortune of the pope
TO hear the intermezzo from "Caval-
leria Rusticana' tortured into an Ave
Maria.
These utterances IN regard to the use
of other music than the plain chant
ought to serve to clear up a miscon-
ception which has been widespread.
That Plus Y would try TO throw back
the march of musical progress more
than three centuries was hardly to be
believed. The Roman Catholic church
was the mother OF modern music. Mu-
steal science was first cultivated in
Europe by priests setking to build up
a liturgy for their church. 1t was in
evitable that in doing this they should
little by little discover the combina-
tons of tones lying at the basis of
harmony and counterpart. 1t was
equally inevitable that having found
them they should utilize them. Thus
they led the movement away from the
plain chant and carried music toward
that splendid era i'm which the works
OF PaleStrina and Orlando Di Lasso
were produced.
These composition remain TO this day
the models for all composers of litur-
gical music. They are heard often in !
the Sistine chapel. and no man could |
dwell long in the domain of the vatican |
without coming under their mighty |
sway. After the introduction of the or |
chestTa and the solo voice into the Ro-
man mass the descent from the lofty !
level of Palestrina was gradual but |
sure. Styles of composition utterly out |
of keeping with the church spirit We're
used. and even where there was a feel
ing of profound religion there was an
absence of the Roman Catholic idea. as
notably in the case of Bach'S great B
minor mass.
Nevertheless, since Pedestrians day
many admirable pieces of ecclesiastical
music have been composed, and il
seemed altogether improbable that
the pope would be willing to part with
these and order his church back to the
proclamations of the plain
chant. A part Of every service can be
delivered in plain song. es-
pecially since the SolesmeS Fathers
