sAcRIFIcIAL OFFERINGS.

ancient forms of sacrifice we shall be confirmed in
the conviction that the latter we're instituted as
figure of the sacrifice of Calvary The Redeemer
of mankind was to be victim; victim holy and
substituted for the culprit; a victim to the very
effusion of his blood and destined to be the food
of the new life of humanity
Sin against God, in the person of Adam, re-
quired holiness on the part of his victim SO as to
make adequate compensation. But man, finite and
imperfect could not of himself render ADEQUATE ex,
pation to the offended justice of God To do so it
was necessary for man to become God in order to
offer a proportionate immolation to the divinity
But this Transformation, impossible to man, was ac-
complished by the mercy of God when his only be-
gotten son made himself man that he might be-
come victim in infinite merit and sanctity Be
Sides as a victim, he had to be substituted for a
criminal; as the entire human family was suffer
ing for the sin of man, it was in accordance
with this first mystery the mystery of original sim
that one man alone might suffer to expiate that one
sin which had become the fault of humanity That
the stream of humanity should be poisoned by the
sin of one man and should be atoned for by inno-
cence and holiness seems strange and unjust. But
does not the workings of Redemption neutralize
this double appearing injustice? For God who per-
mits the apparent injustice of hereditary sin. be-
comes himself the expiator of that sin, thereof
placing prodigy of love in regard of prodigy
of justice showing himself equally God in both.
especially In the reunion of both these mysteries
In the third place the victim of Calvary had to
be slain and by his blood sanctify his people All

union of the soul and body we become children OF
Adam and participate in his guilt. We cannot ac-
count for this mystery any more than we can ac-
count for the fact that oftentimes at distance
of several generations will be visited with what
is termed vice of hereditament, vice or attile-
ton transferred through the blood. Flesh IS blood
and it is by the ties of blood humanity becomes
heir to the fault of Adam and Eve. This fault has
passed into mans very nature.
Why God then willed that blood would be the in
strument of expiation, since sin is hereditary Is
clear. Jesus as the scion of the family of Adam,
and the representative of the divine Trinity expl-
ates sin by his blood of infinite purity, and ceanses
the conscience from dead works These two effects
are as closely united in themselves as the double
nature whence they proceed, and which could be
found only in the divine person of Christ.
Finally, we have the last character of the VIC
tim in the adorable sacrament of the Eucharist,
where the flesh of the victim "is meat indeed and
his blood drink indeed" for the perpetuaton of the
new life to which man born in Calvary. Pro
found and appalling mystery in truth is this, but the
belief and practice of which have produced the
moral strength of humanity since first instituted,
and which prove its divine origin by its marvellous
effects of sanctifcation. In this way man is
brought to the foot of the altar that supports the
cross and to the great victim of the beginning and
end of his regeneration, him in whom alone he is
to find the life that lives for ever. F. d.

ASHAMED OF HER BROTHER.

The two had met at the door of the circulating
library and had stopped for chat 1t had been
such pleasant friendly chat that Winnies face
was as pink as a wild rose with gratifed pride For,
if there was anything in the world that Winnie adj
mired, it was that aristocratic looking Mrs. Brew
ster, in her handsome furs The carriage that wait
ed for her at the curbing picture, too, with
the coachman in lively, and the well groomed, rest
less horses champing their bits
Just as Mr.. Brewster turned to go down the
steps, Winnie caught sight of Tom. Never before
had she been tempted to feel ashamed of Tom. When
he had gone into the factory, determined as he
planned, to learn the business from the ground up
Winnie had taken it for granted that his resolution
was something to be proud of. The shabby clothes
he wore, "a workingman's Clothes" he explained,
rather proudly, had always seemed joke till this
minute
Then Mrs. Brewster quite unconsciously provid
ed Winnie with way out of her dilemma. "Have
you finished with your errand?" she asked "In that
case [ shall be glad to drive you home"
Winnie drew breath of relief This her
way out. She could slip to the carriage, without
seeming to notice Tom. He would never suspect
anything. It was not his way to suspect And then
the swift horses would whirl them home, while Tom
followed at distance Yes that was the way
out.
"Thank you very much, Mrs. Brewster" Win
ME caught herself up hardly realizing the dreadful
thing that true, She had been ashamed of her
brother; ashamed of her dear, manly, loyal Toni
She had been ready to pass him without word,
without glance. The only redeeming feature in
the whole affair that it was not too late to
save herself
"Thank you, Mrs. Brewster" Winnie repeated
mechanically, 'but see my brother is here; Think
I'll walk with him. Good night" she turned to
Tom, slipping her hand through his arm and press
ing the shabby coat sleeve lovingly, so that there
might be no doubt in the mind of any passerby as
to the connection between them
'Saw you talking with your aristocratic friend,
and I was going by without speaking" Tom
laughed. Il thought you might be ashamed of me-
MOI Not really, DEAR"
And it seemed to Winnie that nothing on earth
was quite as important as keeping from Tom the
knowledge of how near his jest had come to being
true-The Leader.

The tone was so plainly one of iubilation that
he fastened to modify it.

"John, l ate it." said weak little voice. "And
you shall never eat another one like it, Either I
learn to put up a cold lunch properly or you buy

And John, the patient and long suffering
smiled as another bugbear foated away on a rosy-
colored cloud.
