of God, and you cannot very well go

Alone / walked the ocean strand
pearly shell was in my hand
l stopped and wrote upon the sand
My name-the year-the day
AS onward from the spot l passed,
One lingering look behind I cast;
wave come rolling high and fast,
And washed my lines away.
And so, methought, twill shortly be
With every mark on earth for me;
A wave of dark oblivion's sea
Will sweep across the place
Where l have trod the sandy shore
OF time, and been, to be no more;
OF me-my day-the name l bore,
To leave no track nor trace.
And yet with Him who counts the
sands
And holds the waters in His hands,
know a lasting record stands
Inscribed against my name,
OF all this mortal part has wrought,
OF all this thinking soul has thought,
And from these fleeing moments
caught
For glory or for shame.

THE GENERAL INTENTION.
recommended by His Holiness Plus K
CHRISTIAN EDUCATION.

The appeal of this month from the
heart Of the Holy Father is one which
will meet with a response from the AS
scciates of the League. What is more
for the interest Of the Sacred Heart
Than the education of youth? Yet this
duty is too often neglected at the pres
ent day,
There are thousands who would not
for a moment think of depriving their
children Of the necessary food and
nourishment for their bodies. They
wish them to grow up strong and ro-
bust for their work in life, and they
would draw back in horror at the
thought Of doing anything that would
cause them to become crippled or dis
eased Still less would they permit
their children to be poisoned by I'M
wholesome food or an unhealthy at
nosphere.
Yet the parents who neglect to give
their children a Christian education are
guilty Of the starvation of their Off
spring, and are more guilty indeed
than If they sent them ont upon the
streets hungry and crying for food. The
nouTishment Of the soul is religion and
religious truths. The soul deprived of
this starves as truly as did the poor
Irish peasants by the bitches and road
sides at the time Of the famine in 1S47.

ain Lost Many Members in 1907.

Last year was a lean year for the
great Protestant bodies both at home
and abroad. The Baptist COMMITMENTS
IN Great Britain in 1907, according to
the Independent, were 429.977 which
was 1864 fewer than in 1906. There
were I44 more Sunday school teachers.

The British Congregationalist have
almost held their own. but not quite.
Their membership is 459, 663 for 1907. a
loss of 275. While the Sunday school
teachers have increased by 1889, the
pupils have fallen off by 5000
The Wesleyan Methodists show the
same loss, the membership of 525, $50
year while the pupils are fewer by
nearly 10000.
Five smaller Methodist denomina-
lions show total of S,315 pupils and
small loss in members. A single one.
the Primitive Methodists, report a
gain of 1,500 members, but they lose
1,203 Sunday school pupils.
In Wales the largest denomination is
the Welsh Calvanistic Methodist Con-
nection, which is Presbyterian in gov
eminent It's membership is given as
1S7,76S, a loss of 1896.
The total loss in membership of the
Nonconformist denomination is about
$4,000, and that in Sunday schools IS
more than $4,000. Indeed, one of the
best ecclesiastical statisticians in Great
Britain puts the loss in membership in
and Wales at 1884
One cause of this ebb is the slough
ing off of the excess members who join
ed the churches during the excitement

Another Minister Comes Into the
True Fold.

The Rev Mr. McFetrich, one of the
clergy of st. Simeon's Protestant Epis-
copal church, Philadelphia, has re-
signed from the ministry of that de-
nomination with the intention of en-
tering the Catholic church. He is now
receiving preparatory instruction from
the Rev. Joseph L. j. Kirlin, rector of
the Catholic church of the Most Pre-
cious Blood. Mr.. McFetrich says that
the "open-pulpit" canon had no in
fuence in his conversion.
Mr.. McFetrich is native Philadel-
phian. He was educated at the
Friends central school. Fifteenth and
Race streets; at st. Stephens college,
Annandale, n. Y, and the Philadel-
phia divinity school. He has held the
following charges: Citrate at St Mi
chaefs church, New York; rector of st.
James, Mansfield. Pa; st. Barnabas,
Reading; st. Timothy's, Philadelphia,
and st. Johns, Pequa, Pa.
His reception into the Catholic
church will probably take place on
the feast of the Assumption, Aug. Is.

origin of the "Te peun. -

Dom Cagin. in the Revue Thomiste.
devotes a learned paper to an investi-
CATION Of the origin of the "Te Deum. -
He concludes that it is impossible to
ascertain its author. In some manu-
scripts II is attributed to st. Ambrose.
in others TO st. Augustine in others
again to Abundis, Nicetas ct al.
Dom Cagin throws out the new and
interesting hypothesis that the "Te
Deum' was originally a Preface. In
the early centuries of the church the
priests enjoyed a certain freedom with
regard to the prayers, prefaces. and
even a part of the Canon of the Mass.
Hence those rich collections of sacra-
mentaries rituals, missals, etc, which
form the body of the ancient liturgy.
The PTefaces, though varying great

one feature: the praise of God chant
ed by the Seraphim and all the choirs

saints. by all creatures. by all the faith
ful: "sancta confitetur ecclesia";
praise unceasing; "incessabni voce":
ending regularly with the trisagion of
Isaias: "Sanctus ......" followed by the
"Plena est omnis terra gloria eius,'' and
"Pleni sunt coeli ct terra"
All these features are prominent in
The "Te Deum." AS for the depreca-
tory verses at the end. Dom Cagin be-
lieves they were originally a part of
the Gloria" and were tackled on to
the "Te Deum" when this latter hymn

This is merely a hypothesis, which re-
mains to be verified So much seems

"Te Deum" was written in Latin and
that the Creek aArsion is a translation
from the Latin.

One of the most fatal habits which
anyone can contract is that of looking
at all things from a ludicrous point
of view. He who never relaxes into
sportiveness is a wearisome compan-
ion. But beware of him who jests at
everything. Such men disparage, by
nome ludicrous association, all OBJ
jects which are presented to their
thoughts, and thereby render them
selves incapable of any emotion
which can either elevate or soften
them; they bring upon their moral be-
ing an influence more whitening than
the blasts of the desert.-Southey.

INHERITANCE OF TRAITS.
Chicago Tribune.)

The question of the inheritance of ex-
ceptional talent or of marked peculiar
tiles has always excited great interest,
but comparatively little attention has
been given to the broader subject of
the transmission of the everyday quail
ties and the general characteristics
which make up the personality of the
great rank and file of humanity.
Two scientists who were interested in
the subject sent out printed lists OF
questions to all the physicians of The
Netherlands and requested them to CO.
operate in the plan by filling out the
answers by their observations on their
own circle of relatives, friends and ac-
quaintances, describing the character
istics of families and extending the OBJ
serVations over as many generations as
possible.
The ability to comprehend quickly
appears to be hereditary, and may
come from either parent, but the ia
theirs influence is stronger, while in in
dependent thinking, which is also her

men who had talent for mathematics
and IA per cent of the daughters inner

cent of the sons inherited the talent,
but none of the daughters die.
