Changes In Mass.

In the early days every one who re-
manned through the mass received holy
communion; but even in the time of ST.
Chrysostom this practice was lapsing. as
we find him complaining that many were
content to receive the eucharist once
year.
The council of Autun, go. declared
that no one was to be held a Catholic who
did not receive at Christmas. Easter and
Pentecost. The council of Trent in the
sixteenth century. desired that all who
assist at mass should communicate sacra-
1t a universal discipline of the church to
should at least communicate at Easter
time.
Up to 1414 the faithful received from
the chalice also at special times. The
primitive Christian customs in Rome and
elsewhere, however. and the oldest tradi
tons also prove that communion in one
kind was always common. and from the
very first reservation in one kind was
made not only for communion for the
laity. but also as ''fermentum,'' sent as q

Charity of speech is as divine thing
as charity Of action. To judge no one
harshly, to misconceve no mans mo-
tives. to believe things as they seem to
be until they are proved otherwise, to
temper judgment with mercy-surely this
is quite as good as to build up churches,
establish asylums and found colleges.
Unkind words do as much harm as
unkind deeds. Many a heart has been
wounded beyond cure many a reputation
has been stabbed to death by a few little
words There is charity which consists
in withholding words. in keeping back
harsh judgment. In abstaining from
speech If to speak is to condemn. Such
charity hears the tale of Islander. but
does not repeat 1t; listens in silence, but
forbears comment: then locks the I'M
pleasant secret up In the very depths OF
the heart

PRAISES IRISH PRIESTS
FOR TEMPERANCE WORK

Bishop Hendrick Of Cebu, Philippine Is

on his recent visit to Sligo, Ireland,
and in the course of speech made In re-
ply to several addresses presented to him
he said: Some of the most successful and
self-sacrificing missionary priests in the
Philippine Islands are Irish priests. I de-
sire particularly to allude to the great
work of the Redemptorist Fathers sent

Arrest.
These preliminaries being easily ad-
iusted. the synagogue disputants next ar
ranged for the arrest of Stephen. First
they stirred UP the people, the masses,
who were o. mercurial sort, waiting In
idleness for some superior to begin an ex-
citement. Probably by railing publicly
against Stephen they arrayed the popu-
lace, ind thus created an uproar which
demanded officia, attention. The elders
and scribes, who always concerned them
selves for the public welfare and in
quired into the cause OF any disturbance,
were made to balieve that Stephen was
the offender. 60 he was arrested and
brought before the council to answer the
charges that might be preferred against
him. That council had been greatly trou
bled with Peter, and had only recently
dismissed him, when the deacon was
brought before them by the noisy rabble.
