" Obe Gracious Paula "

Sc things went very pleasantly until Faula's
daughter Blaesilla died. and the mothers heart
broken She wept for her daughter, people
said. as no woman had ever wept before. She re-
fused eat and her friends feared that she would
die. At last she consented Jerome, who
really had very tender heart. IN spite Of the
harsh things he said. and because he had loved
her child and understood her grief he was able
70 rouse her from the state OF despair into which
she had fallen But she never cared for her silken
robes or her jewels or her splendid palace again
Meantime Jerome had making enemies He
had special talent for that. He used to say
actly what he thought about the vices and follies
of the Romans, and he never took any pains to
say It in way that would not give offence. So
they cane to hate him much that they even
blamed him Blaesillas death. At the time
Paua's pagan relatives found it harder and harder
10 stand by and see her give away so much money,
and they made It very unpleasant for her. So
Rome became unbearabe TO both jerome and
Paula. and they decided to leave it. They went TO
Bethlehem, accompanied by Paulas daughter,
Eustochum. and there they built two converts
and gathered around them others who were weary
the world Jerome established-a classical school
for boys and young men in his convent, and Paula
entertained strangers and pilgrims in hers. But
all the time they could spare from their other work
was spent the great translation in the cave
which jerome called his paradise Here they
translated the beautiful songs which David, the
shepherd boy Of Bethlehem had written, and the
other hymns of the Jews which all supposed
to have been written by David al that time, and
these translations, under the name of the Psalter
Of St Jerome are still sung in the Roman Cath
olic Church.
When Paula died Jerome was inconso!able He
could do no work. and II was only by asking him
TO write life OF her mother for her that Eustoch-
IN, was able TO rouse him II is from this life that
we know the history OF the holy and gracious
Paula" When 1t was done Eustochium came into
the cave one day with the Book Of Ruth in ner
hand asking Jerome TO explain it TO her. Thus
the great translation went on again, and the
different books were finished Jerome dedicated them
TO Paula and EustochiuIn, not separating" he
