Church Universal

Citations of our interference with indi-
Vldual rights, of the tyranny OF Rome
which compelled the badly mated TO re-
main chained to one another. Today,
somehow, Professionalism is getting into
line, but alas not before Professionalism
mas lost Its grip. 1t makes little differ
ence nowadays what attitude the Pro
testant churches are taking or going to
take on the question of divorce. They
have lost the strength which might
have made their attitude worth consid-
ering. And the worst of it is that in
pandering to the foolish of the love-
lorn affinity class, they have weak
ened somewhat our own influence as
well.
But the Catholic church can look back
with pride to the fact that consistently
she has stood out against a disease
which she knew would eat the heart out
of society, if it were permitted to grow.
The principles that have stood for ages
cannot lightly be thrown aside because
of q modern demand for more license,
which is the real name for what too
many call liberty. From Extension.

MIRACLE OF OUR LADY.

Extract from a poem 700 years old)
The following extract is from THE
Miracle of Our Lady" by Gonzalo de
Berceo, a monk of Calahorra, who lived
in the thirteenth century and who is the
oldest of the Castilian poets whose
names has come down to us:
l, Gonzalo de Berceo, in the gentle sum-
mertide
Vending upon pilgrimage, came to a
meadow side;
All green it was, and beautiful, with
flowers far and wide,
A pleasant spot, ween, wherein a traV-
eler might abide.
Flowers with the sweetest odor filed all
the sunny air
And not alone refreshed the scene, but
stole the mind from care;
On every side a fountain guShed whose
waters pure and fair
Ice cold beneath the summer sun, but
cold in winter were.
There. on the thick and shadowy trees,
amid foliage green,
Were the fig and the pomegranate, the
pear and apple seen,
And other fruit of various kinds the
tufted leaves between;
None were unpleasant to the taste, and
Hullt u6Cdytu, Ween.
The verdure of the meadow green, the
odor of the flowers,
The grateful shadows of the trees, tenn
pered with fragrant showers,
Refreshed me in the burning heart of
the sultry noontide hours
Oh, one might live upon the balm and
fragrance Of those bowers!
Ne'er had I found on earth a spot that
had such power to please
Such shadows from the summer sun,
such odorS from the breeze,
l threw my mantle on the ground that
| might rest at ease,
And stretched upon the greensward lay
in the shadow of the trees.
There soft reclining in the shade, all
cares beside me flung.
1 heard the soft and mellow notes that
through the woodland rung,
Ear never listened to a strain from in
Strument or tongue
So mellow and harmonious as the songs
above me sung.
The Intermountain Catholic. (Salt Lake City [Utah] ;) 1899-1920, 1908-12-05

in such matters would miss the ting
ling delight of trying to sneak into the
house an evening or two before Christ
mas eve, with our arms full of bundles,
and getting them slowed away without
arousing the suspicious of the kiddies?
That's half the fun of the Christmas
season.
Buy your Christmas present early!
Wen do no such thing. Well wait
until the last minute, and then We'll
get into the rush and have our toes
stepped on. our skirts torn, our hats
crushed, our coats ripped and our col
lars wilted-but through it all we'll be
as happy as kids just out of school.
This cold. calculating, time-saving
nerve-conserving, mechanical methods
of observing the Christmas season does
not make a hit with us.
