The Church of Christ.

We are indebted to the Sacred Heart
Review for the following brief synop-
sis Of the sermon preached by the
Rev. John T. O'Brien, at the laying
of the cornerstone oof the new Church
Of the Blessed Sacrament, Cambridge,
Mass, on Sunday, 18th inst;
1.-THE aim and object of the church
of Christ is the salvation of souls. All
other things-honors. riches, joys,
fame, power, popularity, success-be-
gin here on earth and end at the grave.
What do these, or the amassing of all
the fortunes and greatness of this
earth avail us if we have lost our
immortal soul? From sacred and pro-
fame history we know that for ages
men sighed and prayed for a Redeem
er. The day of redemption at last
came to this darkened world, and
when Christ came he established a
church for our salvation. Upon the
brow of that church he set four great
marks or characteristics by which all
men might know her, and the first of
these marks IS unity. The prayer of
Christ was this, that his church
should be--one in its belief, one in
its sacraments, one in its govern
ment.
1.-THE church of Christ is holy-holy
because she continues ono earth the
work begun by Christ in heaven. holy
i'm her dctrines and sacraments which
lead men to the eminent heights OF no.

Sousa presents new march again

title "POWhatan's Daughter" The IT,

story of saving Captain John Smith at
the very moment that he was to be ex-

Public Spirited Priest.

Rev. Patrick NJ. Flanagan. the Oldest
priest in point of service in the Chicago
archdiocese and one of the most widely
known clergymen in the dest. died of
pneumonia on Friday, Aug. so, at his
home in Chicago. He was So years old
and had been a priest forty-isX years.
Father Flanagan first came into pub
lie notice during the cholera epidemic
in 1862, and for six months worked
tirelessly among the victims. He start
ed the agitation for the elevation of
railroad tracks and was force in
many labor disputes. He was the ar
bitratOr of the famous stockyards strike
in 1887, and was prominent in the Lake
Shore & Michigan Southern strike ne
gotiations.
Father Flanagan was recognized as
an excellent business manager and fin
ancier, and from gifts and annuities
probably would have been one of the
Wealthiest men in Chicago. He either
declined the gifts or turned them over
TO his church, but he spent thousands
of dollars of his own money in aiding
the poor and unfortunate.
During the panic of 1894 he gave
away more than $4,000 of his personal
savings in an effort to make some of
his pariShiOners comfortable Many
lions in the poorer districts, of his re-
demption of the fallen in Clark street
lodging hotels, and of hayward girls
in the resort districts.
Father Flahnigan, in the company of
P. j. O'Keeffe. his close friend. went to
in the spring of 1900 to
visit President Mckinley in an effort
to influence him to-appoint a friend TO
the federal judiciary. The friend was
a Methodist. They took dinner with
President Mckinley and Senator Mark
Hanna. and in the course of the con-
versation, which was about the coun-
try's future generally, Senator Hanna
made his famous statement:
You or I, Mr.. President, may not
live to see the day, but the day will
come when the United States will need
its projections. and when that time
stars and stripes and anarchy will be
the supreme court of the United
States and the Roman Catholic
church.
Father Flanagan was born in Ira
more, County Waterford, ireland. His
parents emigrated to Michigan when,
he was 8 years of age and he was edu-
Gated for the priesthood at the College
of st. Sulpice, Montreal. He helped to
build the Cathedral of Holy Name,
previous to the fire in 1871,
and to rebuild ii after the fire. He had
been pastor of st. Anne's parish since
1879. Since then nineteen parishes
have been formed out of the original
parish

VIRGINIA CITY, NEW.

Miss Ethel Curran of this city and
Bert Kibble of Sparks were married
yesterday afternoon at the home of the
brides parents on the divide Father
Murphy officiating. The wedding was
attended only by the relatives and
close friends of the contracting parties.
The bride is one of the most popular
young ladies of this city. and has been
teaching school at Humboldt. where
she met the groom. who is a conductor
on the Southern Pacific. The happy
couple left last evening for a honey
moon trip to California. carrying with
them the best wishes of scores of
friends.-Virginia Enterprise, Oct 25.
The startling news was received Sat
urday by John Cavanaugh at the local
sub-station that Clarence McGrath of
this city had been found dead at Wa
shoe lake.
The boy arrived at the club house at
the lake a week ago last Thursday, and
had been staying there with John Car
roll, the manager of the place We'd
nesday Carroll and McGrath had break
fast together, and the former left soon
after for Carson, McGrath saying he
would wash the dishes and look after
the club house, but when Carroll re-
turned in the evening the dishes were
still ION the table and McGrath's coat
was hanging on the wall. Carroll be-
came uneasy when the boy did not APP
pear during the night or on Thursday,
and he started search at the ranches
around the lake. No trace of McC4rath
could be found, and Carroll teIephoned
to this city to find out if he had arrived
home. He was informed that McGrath
had not come to this city, and he then
renewed the search, but without she
cess until Friday afternoon, when Dr..
GOode of Carson came upon the body
of the boy lying on the beach below
the old boat house.
McGrath had evidently stepped from
boat to the beach, when the shotgun
he was carrying was in some was dis
charged. the charge tearing away part
of the spinal column, and death was
undoubtedly instantaneous. The gun.
an old-fashioned weapon, was found
lying near the body.

Womanhood and the Church.

In COnfiding TO her SiSterhOOdS such
a large part of her apostolate the
Catholic church lifts up all woman
hood to highest levels. as she thereby
recognizes woman'S abilities. and puts
in woman that trust which points hel
out to the world as the most worthy
of honor and reverence. The Virgin
Mother of Christ, and the religious
orders Of women in the church. have
brought up woman from the lowliness
to which mans pride of strength and
Selfshness of affection had bowed his
frail and conf1ding sister: and have
made it impossible for her ever again
to fall to the depths into which she
had been cast before the coming of
Christ. The Virgin Mother. so hon
ored by Christ rendered in turn all
women honorable. The consecrated
daughters of the church. placed in the
front ranks of her soldiery rising so
high in spiritual life. doing such mar
velous things for God and for human
ity compelled the YenerdtiOn of man
kind and all WOmanhOod and inspired
all womanhood with a sense of dignity
and of power. Dignity and power
there, indeed, was in the religious
communities Of women. Not only
We're they hidden forward to noblest
ambitions and exalted darings: but.
furthermore, and long before social
customs or civil laws authorized wO-
manly independence of action. they
were invested with the rights and
privileges of government. and
commissioned to plan and execute
great schemes out of their own initfa-
tive. and with reliance upon their own
wisdom and force of character. In
these modern times, when so much is
said of Woman'S social elevation and of
the recognition due to woman's abilities
and WOmans opportunities. it is we'll to
recall the testimony of history as to
what was done to this end through the
sisterhoods Of the Catholic church.
But what comes as the personal prize
to the devoted member of a siSterhoOd;
what personal reward seeks she and re-
ceives she for her sacrifices of earthly
belongings, for her incessant self-immo-
latiOn in the service of others. for her
daily acts of hidden virtue, which no
human eye ever sees, no human judge
ever discerns; what works she for;
what is the purpose of her life? The
answer she herself quickly gives, if the
answer is sought from her. She works
for God: and she RENTS into his hands
her whole destiny. Here is the mys-
FERROUS secret Of the church's legions
of consecrated soldiers, women and
men. who taking up their cross follow
him. who calls them to self-sacrifice,
his grace leads, never
looking backward. knowing that all is
we'll with him, The sisterhoods of the
church, martyrs of holiness and of
charity. are an enigma to those who
know but earthly aims and earthly
gains.

amy bodily ailment, when sickness has

shadow about our happy fireside, we

Guilty and delicacy of his work. The
long. weary hours in the confessional,
the need of spiritual insight in direct

funness in their guidance. the danger
of self-deception and self-love in the
penitent, and the weakness of poor
human nature as the spiritual struggle
goes on, all these and other reasons
which could easily be adduced, make it
evident that even the wisest and most

TO read in the lives of holy men with
what fear they undertook the awful
ministry of reconciliation.
None perhaps use the holy sacrament

time we must remember the duty that
lies upon us of praying most earnestly

whom devolves the guidance of souls;
We must pray that they may have The

The title Doctor is, with best taste
omitted in speaking to a bishop. since
no rank is thereby shown.
Mltred abbots, Wears general and
proVlnclals are invariably addressed as
the Right Reverend" while the heads
OF colleges are properly addressed as
very Reverend In the Latin coun-
tries. naturally enough, more impor-
lance is attached to the method of adj
dress. In Italy, for instance, one writes
TO Most Illustrious and Reverend

Greatness" amplitude vestra) or
EXcellency," the title most common to
ambassadors.
Patriarchs-the present pope was
patriarch Of Venice-are addressed as
His EXcellency' instead of His

fashion. A letter to an Italian bishop
Is inadequately addressed if the word

A cardinal is invariably addressed in
France as 'Eminence Reverendissime.
not as "Monseigneur lie Cardinal" mon

Bishops of France lave the title
Grandeur; a letter addressed to one

Benedictines have the title Dom"
so that religious of that order would
be addressed as 1.-The Rev. Father.

IL Germany, a bishop has the title
Of Episcopal Grace" and an arch
bishop of "archepiscopal Grace"
There are several sees in Germany and
Austria, the titulars of which have
rank and social precedence of prince
bishops; these are Breslau. Gratz.
Gurk, Lavant, Salzburg and Trent. A
German monsignore is addressed as
His High WorthineSs, in its German
equivalent, of course.
Courtesy dictates that a man shall
be given his full title: in the case of
prelates, the Withholding of their titles
is more indefensible, owing TO their
sacred character.
In English society, it is customary to
give the English equivalent in titles
to American bishops of the Episcopal
ian creed. 1t is unkindly said that
there is not a sWeeter moment in the
life of a western Episcopalian bishop,
than that in which he hears himself
addressed as MY Lord" This title
arises, of course, from the fact that
the English bishops hold seats in the
house of lords and is, therefore, mean
ingless to Americans

The woman screamed with fear,
And climbed upon d table that
By chance was standing near.
"A mousel A mouser' she loudly cried
ooh, kill it quick or

With fright I'll surely die.
The man who sat beside the fire
Arose at once and said:
"Be STILL Don't move an inch because

Scream after scream now issued forth.

She danced lively jig and cried,

The SWEETEST SONG.

The sweetest song I ever heard
Was not the thrill of Tyre or bird:
Or ripple of meadow rill
Borne to my ears when winds are still
But just a quaint, sweet lullaby,
Crooned soft and low where slumber
ing lay
An infant on its mothers breast,
BY loving arms and lips caressed,
AS gently rocking to and fro
The mothers words came sweet an(
low:
Hush, my darling, baby sleep,
Angel eyes a vigil keep
Ger thy 5lumbers. Do not fear,
Mother guards thee; mothers dear.
Often times when care and strife
That beSet my weary life
Crush my spirit, and l feel
Sad detection DER me steal;
Then perhaps some gentle strain
Calls the memory back again
OF that song that, years gone by,
Thrilled my soul with ecstasy,
And once more on memory ear,
Mothers song l seem to hear.
Hush, my darling baby sleep,
Angel eyes vigil keep
Ger thy slumbars. DO not fear,
Mother guards thee; mothers near"
Twenty years have rolled along
Since l heard that cradle-song,
Yet its memory haunts me still
Wander wheresoe'er l will,
And in dreams l see once more
That kind mother as of yOre,
With her infant child at rest,
Closely to her bosom pressed.
Rocking gently to and fro,
Singing softly, sweetly, low:
Hush, my darling, baby sleep,
Angel eyes a vigil keep
Ger thy slumbers. DO not fear,
Mother guards thee: mothers dear"

The Crow,

(Benzige'rs Magazine.)
Poets, for poetic reasons, deSDise the
crow. In the Celestial empire, and
many other places not so far afield, he
is bird of i'll omen, and to the poets
he is one of i'll repute. There is a
hearty song sung in his praise;
He loves the fat meadow, his taste
is low:
He loves the fat worms and he dimes
in a row.
With fifty fine cousins all black as a
lOe;'
which, with gusto, concludes
IT'S a comfort to feel like great blacl,
crow
1t is said in ordinary phraseology,
straight as the crow flies" or las the
crow flies" but the crow does not fly
so straight as supposed. 1t knows bet
ter, and wings its way hither and
thither in good flight of inspection,
blown about the skies as TennySon
says
The crow is a bird of all weathers,
is ever on the alert and wide awake,
and never wastes its time. 1t Is the
most prosaic bird, and deserves a good
word from Drosaic mortals 1t is the
farmers friend, as the worms and
grubs could testify if their voices could
be heard and it is the embodiment of
what a good horticulturist should be
its eyes are ever on the fields. It's flight
is tireless, and confidence is heard in it's
chattering voice. No other bird is so
SOciable in habits, and none is so con-
sentative. Where once it nests, it for
ever nests. 1t weds for life; and it is
almost alone in the bird world in know
ing no law of separation. But it is the
birds attachment to one spot that
should appeal to ordinary mortalS.
No landscape is complete without d
line of crows. Look around you every
where in the country, be 1t falkland CT
the billy slope, you will find the black
line winging the homeWard fight when
all other birds are silent. or pillaging
in stubble field, or following the
plough in dark dots. Crows are every
where. They are birds of rainy weather
and every wet day you are almost GER
tain. in the country, to see them on
the move and hear their wings slowly
mapping. heavy with rain, and TO no
tice how their dull voices harmonize
with the gray sky.
They are the field preachers, and
preach one sermon from different texts,
and the sermon consists of the repeti-
ton of one word. Work, work, work;
the letters, on Delng lTalS-loseu, SpeIl
the birds name. Individually the crow
may not possess a sweet voice. but
collectively they produce musically en-
gaging sounds. 1t is music to be heard
only in the plains or fields; for the
crows follow the plOughshare and sell
dom haunt mountains or hills where
deer run wild. and man cannot live.
Tho rhvmeSter was not wide of the
mark when he sang of the comfortable
feeling of the big black crow. The
crow, except in frosty weather, is al
ways well to do and comfortable.

eral of her sisters in religion Several
weeks ago Sister Carmelita was so Sc
