CONTEMPLATION.

Happy who stands from all the rush
Who quits this eager life of deep
unrest,
Where men seek things which never
are possessed,
But like fast flowing waters from them
glide.
To all devouring seas that open wide:
Happy who turns away, and on the
breast
Of the slow Nile moves on calm and
at rest
To regions where repose and peace
abide;
Where earth and sky through ages are
the same:
And man, knowing the little he can
do,
The emptiness Of pleasure, power and
fame.
Like the calm earth and sky grows
tranquil too,
And makes sweet contemplation his
sole aim.
Gazing from palm trees shade on
heavens blue.
Bishop ]. L. Spalding.

Sure Investments.

Every live business man wants to in
crease his earnings. That is a natural
instinct. The same applies to investing
where one needs not worry. The timid
person, who knows not how to investi-
gate. is always losing money. He places
in the safe of some merchant friend
500, leaves it there for a year; at the
end of the year he is Sc a poorer man,
because he lost that amount in interest.
Not only this, but his 800, which might
be consumed by fire, was less secure,
because with gilt-edge security there is
no possible risk. These will be always
found at the Salt Lake Security &
Trust company, which has transacted
a conservative banking business for %
years, and has today capital and sur
plus fund of 100000.
Note this: We accept savings de-
posits from 81 upward. allowing 4 per

amount to 800 we issue a certificate of

Watching the smiles | priced on earth;
Your converse mild, your blameless

Now. too, I hear
OF whispered sounds the tale COM

The New "oxford Movement
GThe MisSinnarv

(The Missionary
1t Is difficult a this time to meas
ure the depth and volume of the flood
that is now breaking down the thin
barriers of separation between the Epis-
copalian denomination and the Catholic
church. Significant of the
strength of the movement is the fol-
lowing fact:
A proposition was presented recently
to one of the archbishops looking to-
ward the reception of an entire COM
munity of Episcopalian nuns in the
church. They desire to come in as a
body for many reasons, not the least of
which is the question of holding the
property that they now possess.
we may expect to record within the
near future the reception of more min
listers who are facing toward Rome and
are now trying to disentangle them
selves from the associations of their
place and environment.
OF course it is the policy of the Epis-
copalians to discredit the significance
of the movement. They say that there
is no crisis; that the number of the
disaffected ones is small; that the dis
affection exists only in spots.
Bishop Coadjutor Mackay-Smith of
Philadelphia is quoted as saying:
Outsiders get the impression that
the whole church is convulsed by this
movement. In point of fact we hear
very little about it, and the vast mass
of church members really don't know
that it exists
Still every issue of the leading Epis-
copalian papers is full of comment on
the situation, and therein are printed
many letters from the laity discussing
the significance of it,

Why He Waited.

A mysterious stranger with lowered
brow and menacing glare stood along
side one of the shoemaking exhibits in
a department store and watched the
shoemaker work. For a long time he
stood there, never shifting his glance,
staring steadily at the bench workman,
watching him put handful after hand
full of tacks in his mouth and gradually
empty each NAV load into a shoe sole
Finally store detective became sus-
picious and after keeping an eye on the
fellow for while went over to him and
asked him what he meant by his ac-
lions. "Oh, nothing" answered the
man. I'm just waiting to see what
will happen if that shoemaker should
sneeze when he has a mouthful of
tacks. "-Philadelphia Record.

Not the brighter, gaudier flowers,
Rich and rare, of spring,
Those that deck the summer hours
Shall my greeting bring.
Just the sweet forget-me-nots,
Mem'ry's eyes Of blue,
Culled in unfrequented spots,
Flowers of Friendship true.
Just as simple gentle words
Tell their story best,
And by songs of humblest birds
Is the most expressed,
SO i'm these shy flowers of mine,
That l love so well,
Memory and friendship Irvine,
And true wishes dwell.
Mem'ry of glad times of old,
Cherished truly yet;
Friendship that as. days unfold,
Bids me not forget;
Wishes for the days to be,
And for happy hours,
Each and all accept from me,
Twined about these flowers.
of Friendship they indeed;
In their gentle hue,
And their meaning, may you read
All ] wish for you:
For they whisper to your heart
You are not forgot;
Friendship lives, though days depart
So, forget me not!

CHEYENNE, WYO.
The Convent of the Holy Child Jesus.

Especial Correspondence
Last week the First Communion
class made a three days retreat,
which was conducted by the Rev.
James Duffy. They assisted at mass
in st. Mary's cathedral, after which
they went to the convent for the in
structions and devotions given during
the day. There were some fifty chill
dren in the class. On Sunday June
IA, they received their First Holy Com
munion at the s o'clock mass, and
several of lasts years class also
walked in the procession and APP
preached the altar to commemorate
theirs. 1t was an imposing sight, and
the church was crowded to excess by
the parents and friends of the privil-
eyed ones. The children's choir sang
very devotional hymns during the
mass, and Right Rev. J. j. Keane
preached a beautiful sermon on the
Blessed Sacrament. The sacrament of
confirmation was given after the high
mass to several adults
In the afternoon the First Commune
cants assembled in the church again
to renew their baptismal vows and be
enrolled in the Brown Scapular Bene-
diction of the Blessed Sacrament fol-
lowed, and a sermon was also deliv-
cred by Father Duffy.
Next Sunday there is to be pro-
cession of the blessed sacrament and
exposition in honor of the Feast of the
Corpus Christi and the First Commu-
nicants are to walk in the procession.
The constant rainy weather. so un-
usual in Wyoming, may prevent the
school picnics this year, but hopes are
being entertained by the majority that
few fine days this week will secure

Father Dorney Frorgets His $4,000

The intense absorption in his many
! interests of the busiest priest in Chi
cago" was illustrated in a startling
manner last Saturday when it was
learned that Rev. Maurice J. Dorney.
pastor of st. Gabriel's church had
s6S,OOO owing to him and didn't know
/ it.
Two decades ago, when Father Dor
ney had been serving but a few years
in his stockyard parish, a close friend
of his. John B. Sherman. one of the
kings of the yards" presented him
with block of stock in the National
Live Stock band, which Mr. Sherman
had just founded Years went by and
no dividends were paid, and Mr.. Sher-
man died, and all memory of the
transaction passed from the mind of
the priest. Then the bank grew pros
porous. and in late years has declared
dividends of 10 per cent annually.
Recently it was decided TO retire the
bank and merge its business in the
Live Stock Exchange National. Ma
tional bank examiners were called to
go over the books. When they had
finished their calculations they found
that one NJ. j. Dorney was entitled to
S6S,000 for his stock and unpaid divi-
dends
AS a result all st. Gabriers parish
is rejoicing. and the many charities
which have had practical demonstra-
tons of the good priests benificence
are quietly eXpectaant and Father
Dorney himself is buster than ever
planning how to give away his riches
Il propose to spend this money for
the welfare of my church and in as
sisting the schools of the parish of ST
Gabriel" said Father Dorney. THE
money l have received from the bank
will relieve suffering and make many
homes happier and 1 will get as much
pleasure as anyone from it in giving it
away. If 1 had S1OOO,OOO l could
spend it for my people
Father Dorney is one of the best
known, best loved and most influential
priests i'll Chicago. He has built UP in
his parish a free high school. which
has won wide recognition in Catholic
circles. and has at his own expense
sent many of the poorer graduates of
his school through professional
schools. He has interested himself
deeply and sympathetically in every
activity of his parishioners. and their
pride in and love for their pastor is
widely known.-Catholic Citizen.
