Reception for Cardinal.

One of the most pleasant memories of
Cardinal Vannutellis visit to the National
Capital was that of the reception tender
ed him Saturday morning by the young
ladies of ST. Roses Technical School,
conducted by the Sisters of Charity At
. o'clock the distinguished prelate, attend
ed by the Most Rev. Diomede Falconio
apostolic delegate to the United States;
Archbishop of Leopolis, Mgr. De Croy;
the cardinals secretary. Mgr. Gelase
Uginet, and Mgr. Boneventura Ger
retti. auditor of the apostolic legation, and
Chevalier Domenico Cagoti, entered the
hall of the institution, where representa-
tives from the various houses of the Sis
ters of Charity were assembled. to well
come the papal envoy and receive the
apostolic blessing. The large auditorium
was beautifully decorated, and the pupils
entertained their visitors by rendering
many religious and national songs, and
address of welcome was given in
Italian by one of the younger members
of the school, to which a response was
made by the cardinal in his own native
tongue and interpreted by Archbishop
Falconio.
This was a most appreciative address
and complimented in a befitting manner
the various works of the Sisters of Char
ty, particularly that of the skilful Young
modistes, whose productions We're on eX-
hibition in the workrooms of the institu-
ton that morning, and the cardinal con-
Guided his remarks by blessing all the
works of the order. and then retired to
the chapel, where he impaired the apoS
tolic benediction, thus concluding his visit
and taking with him many pledges of the
loyalty of his devoted friends in Wash
ingtOn.

ed by the SelhshneSS of the reformers. 1t
was not that they sought profit for them
selves or asked for glory. but in subtle
fashion they thought more of the good
they planned for than of the God under
whom they served. Much of the research
work of the world has suffered in like
manner. 1t was not that the students in
their studies sought for gain or title as a
reward. but that they forgot the end and
aim of knowledge in personal pleasure
which made their efforts evidently world
ly. Alas much Of our church work is in
danger of a like distraction. We want our
church to have a name for activity and
generosity and success, that we may baSk
in the delight Of 1t those who count
the halo partly as their own, forgetting
that only as we work for Christ to bring
His children to Him, to feed them. to help
them. can our church be truly said to be
fulfilling in any sense It's mission. Indeed,
all unconsciou5ly, perhaps. the man has

for God. He is self-consciohIs. and 50 opeu
to ali assaults which can wound and hurt.
But when the focus OF life Is changed,
then freedom Is found. The reformer
works to bring Righteousness to Christ's
world. The student tolls to bring the
light of Gods truth to show the ignorant
how to live. The church worker strives
to make the church a true home, because
he wants men to love Christ Jesus. And

social hour with his friends. simplicity

he said, he had been seeking for friend
skip In his boylsh days he went about
CRYING to the trees ard flowers TO love
him. Later he sought aroong man to find
those who could understand and sympa-
thize with him, and later still he sought
in occupation TO iinJ that which could
satisfy him and give him peace. Again
and again he thought lie had found that
which he sought, and agar and again he
was disappointed. At last. as he expressed
it, his heart broken. Nothing seemed
to matter any more, and he deSpaircd
AID doubted everybody. and felt cold and
dead. And then he turned to Christ and
realized that what he had been seeking
only Christ could give him. and so peace
came. 1t a wonderful experience.
But what touched me most in the MARIA
ton was that expression. my heart was
broken. 1t seemed such fierce state
inert. And then | turned to the Bible
TO see what il said about a broken heart.
In the Psalms | found those wonderful
words: The Lord is nigh unto them
that are of a broken heart" Cf4:iS): "a
broken and contrite heart o God, Thou
wilt not despise" G1:1O; "Reproach hath
broken my heart" d9:2D; He healeth
the broken in heart" 147:3). And then
Isaiah speaks in words which Christ read
as applying to Himself: He hath sent
NJ to bind up the broken hearted" t6l ID.
Suddenly it daWned upon me that only the
broken hearted-that Is, they who have
been wounded and disappointed and driven
to deSpair-can see God; even az the Mas
ter said, those having a pure heart"

And then ! saw the truth-that until the
heart has found how imperfect and I'M
