Agreda (Spain), whose mysterious connection with
the New Mexican mission, whether now believed
or not certainly drew great attention to it at the
time, and gave it an extraordinary impetus. Ben
avldes met tribe which no missionary had as yet
reached, and found them to his amazement in
structed IN the doctrines of Christianity. Note
the parallel between the case cited by Shea and the
personality of the Fair God.-O. O. On inquiring,
he learned that they had been taught by lady
whose form and dress they described. This account

in 1880. Subsequently, Father Bernadine de Sena
told him that the nun, Maria de Agreda, had, eight
years before related to him apparitions of a sim
liar character Benavides then Con his return to
SPAIN visited her. and was at once struck with
her resemblance to the lady described by the In
dlans, and still more so by her account of the
country and the labors of the missionaries, of
which she related many remarkable Incidents

member, do not adopt the opinion that St. Thorn
as did visit America but l do contend that the
Spanish friars and European scholars had plausible
reasons, supported by the sworn testimony of UNI
Improbable witnesses in analogous cases, for be-
lieving that Quetzacoatle, the @Fair God" was
the Apostle st. Thomas. Notice that [ opened this
letter with St. Lukes history of the Ascension of
our Lord in order to show that human bodies and
human language were given by God to the Angels
who stood by them (the two Apostles) in white
garments" This example will be of interest when
we come to treat of the singular case of Maria de
Jesus, the Franciscan nun.

THE SACRED HEART.

All the world employs symbols. A symbol is a
sign that conveys idea. The bllndfolded figure,
with a sword in one hand and a scale in the other,
is everywhere the recognized emblem of justice. The
winged lion with the book of the Gospels in its
talons, when blazoned on banner or stamped upon
a medal, stands for Venice, fair Queen of the Adr
attic" Wherever the Stars and Stripes
ing in the breeze one easily recognizes the govern
ment of the United States of America. Every land
has It's flag. Its people honor it; and when
it is insulted they resent the outrage personal
contumely.
The Church is profuse in the use III symbols.
They form its most eloquent expressions. The dove
reminds us of the Holy Ghost the lamb and the pei
recall the mysteries of the Incarnation and
sacrifice. The lily speaks of purity. The ship, or
the ark, is the emblem of the Church.
No emblem is expressive of love as the figure
of the Sacred Heart When our eyes fall upon
that symbol circled by a thorny crown with blood
drops falling from its cloven center, and flames
shooting from its top, the mind is at once brought
into contact with the passion and death of Jesus
Christ. This pictured heart is the summary of d
divine life's devotion and charity.
But the figure of the Sacred Heart is more than
symbol of Jesus love. 1t is the symbol of the in
strument and organ whence that love displayed.
1t serves to bring us into contact with the Eternal
Word for it is the smybol of the real Heart of
God, Heart that lives still, loves and pours out
love increasingly. As Jesus saw with His eyes and
heard with His ears, so He loved with His Heart
That Heart would have had no existence if it was
not united hypostaticaly with the Person of the
Eternal Word The love of God resides and acts
in the living Heart which the Second Person of the
August Trinity assumed when He took a body and
soul like ours. All that Jesus Christ did for man
had origin in His infinite love- and His human
heart made divine by hypostatic union, was the
organ and instrument through which that infinite
love found and finds outflow
1t is an ever true saying that love begets love.
Hence st. Augustine unhesitatingly declares: "If
you wish to be loved, love-" No sane man can deny
that Christ loved, and loved "to the end" At the
sight, then, of the pictured Heart of Jesus, we
seem to hear the divine voice say: Behold how
I have loved you" But even without words, in
mute and eloquent fashion, it makes an irresistible
demand for a return of love. Its cleft wound in

and went out as if to look for the train. The
strangers fingers stroked the gray locks, while the
weary heart was unburdened. Soothed by touch
of sympathy the troubled soul yielded to the long

stranger was touched.
"John sick 2!
'No."
The evasive tone, the look of pain in the fur
rowed face, were noticed by the lady who asked
these questions as the gray head bowed upon the
toil-marked hand. She wanted to hear her story,
and to help her.
Excuse me-John in troube?"
''No, no-Iln in trouble. Trouble my old heart
