DEVOTION TO THE HOLY ANGELS

Devotion to the Angels is devotion to
the Heart Of Christ, under another
form From beginning to end. those
blessed spirits ministered unto Him in
The work for which His Sacred Human
Heart was moulded. developed, and at
last was pierced upon the cross. Long
before He came upon earth they fore
told His coming to the prophet, and in
time it was one of their number who
whispered TO the sinless Maid of Cali
lee the sweetest message that the world
has ever known. Above the cave of
Bethlehem they sang their hymns of
welcome. and shortly after they foiled
the tyrant of his evil purpose. In Naz-
areth itself we cannot but fancy them
following Him in the legions that He
told us were His to command. They
ministered unto Him when He had
vanquished the tempter and strength
ened Him in the shadows of Gethse-
name At the sepulchre they are the
first to tell the world that He is
lisen,7 and on Mt. Olivet they come to
usher Him back to the right of the
Father who sent him.
Now, as every deed Christ did told
the story of his love for men. the as
sistance Of the Angels must tell that
story, too. With their bright intellects
they understand the feelings of His
heart, and with holiness such as theirs.
they were eager to help dim in His
mission of love. So it is at the present
time-they saw the price that the Lord
of hosts paid for our redemption, and
they are doing their utmost even now
that the price be not paid in vain.
Daily and hourly they are guarding the
hayward and uplifting the fallen. In
the turmoil of life, they are ever striv-
ing, by sweet suggestion and a guiding
hand Ito keep thee in all thy ways"
This month, when we are asked to
make them some return, what will the
answer be? God grant that we may all
increase in devotion to them, and bring
others TO appreciate them, as they so
well deserve. To do so cannot be diff

A Powerful Propaganda.
lCatholic TniVerse.


Bishop Berry, addressing a Methodist
conference in Toledo last week. de-
clared that half the converts to the
Catholic church were made through
contact with the sisters in Catholic
hospitals. and expressed his conviction
that this result was the aim of the
nursing sisters. The hospital" he
said. is the most powerful propaganda
IN the church." To any one who knows
anything Of the working Of a Catholic
hospital this assertion is as absurd as
II is malicious. The work of the de-
voted sisters who give their lives to
me service of the sick of all creeds
and conditions is not to exhort, but to
neal; not to convert. but to cure. If
sometimes. i'm their self-sacrificing min
lslratons to those who have no claim
upon them but that of charity and hu-
manity. in the example of their I'M
rewarded and cheerful abnegation, they
suggest inquiry into the faith which
inspires them, II is only by the silent
ana unconscious influence of their
lives. Certainly such lives present one
ol the most impressive arguments for
me claims of the Catholic church.

A PROTESTANT MINISTER
lnVeighs Against the Extravaqance
and Worldliness of the Rich.

Christian men spend money lavishly
while their churches are in distress
said Rev. w. A. Bartlett, D. D.. at the
First Congregational church. Chicago
last Sunday morning. They ride in
costly automobiles and their wives
have rich gowns and they are too busy
with golf and card parties to give time
to the church.
"One of these days. perhaps liter
some great calamity, the men of this
city who are members of churches will
realize the really awful contrast be-
tween their devotion to business and
to their church.
What must Jesus Christ think of
such facts as these: Christian men
living in palatial homes. and churches
within hail of where all this monay is
made in distress.
Skyscrapers fitted up with every
luxury and expense, and a small. half
finished place of worship not far ayav.

The Catholic Church and the Nation.

Never in the history of this land was
there greater need than now for the
great restraining, conservative infiu-
ence which that Cthe Catholic church
is able to exercise upon the wayward
spirit of the nation. 1t is doing what
no other religious body of less infiexibIe
standards and inferior power of prgln-
ization can attempt to do successfully
a service to mankind the value of
which is beyond all power of estima-
ton.
1t stands immovabIy in a world of
mutable, changing purposes; pointing
steadily to the value of law. discipline
and order; proclaiming the beauty and
worth of self-sacTifice and service;
teaching the lessons of obedience :ind
humility. With its strong arm it gent
ly but firmly restraints its people from
following the dangerous paths which
lead to chaos, and bids them find their
anchor for the present and hope for
the future in the quiet sanctity of the
church's inf1Uence.-Willlam c. ed gar.

Archbishop IreIand's Advice.

BE good citizens Mingle in all
movements that make for the advance
ment of civic, state and national de-
velopment. One of the most unfortu-
nate things for the Catholic church
in America has been the tendency of it's
members to hold aloof from non-sec-
tartan movements for general good.
Take an active interest in general af-
fairs. Do not give the impression that
Catholics are a separate body-that
they seek to isolate themselves. We
have done this too much and too long.
l like to see Catholics in chambers Of
commerce, in commercial clubs. in
political movements and offices and in
every activity, working for better cit
lzenship. Do not wait for your bishop
and priest to take the initiative: do
Things for yourself, as you have done,
but do them in even greater meas
