SACRED VACATIONS.

When school opens in few weeks
more many Catholic parents will see
their young sons going away for the
first time and on the horizon Of their
hopes not few of them will see loom
ing up a possible candidate for the
priesthood. A life dedicated to God
is the highest life that anyone can as
pire to and every good Catholic mother
would wish for no greater blessing than
to see her son serving in the sanctu-
airy. With this end in view some par
ents bring up their children. impress
ing upon them from earliest child
hood the desirabilty of consecrating
themselves to God as His ministers.
1t is indeed a blessing to be the
mother or father of q priest and yet
considering that the priesthood is the
sublimest of all callings and entails
the sacrifice of everything worldly there
is good reason to believe that the
young man who has vocation will
be lead to his rightful place without
any undue amount of advice to enter
the seminary. 1t does not seem right
for parents to try to impress on their
sons minds the idea that they are
destined for the priesthood for once
a man joins that mystic body there is
no wjthdraw wal and xUhn that has not
experienced it can say how hard it is
to preserve in that exacting life for
one who has not been divinefy called ?
1t is serious step to take and a sad

In few more days the great Euch-
artistic congress will open in Montreal
On August % Cardinal Vannutelle left
Rome to be in attendance on the OPEN
ing day, September 9Th. Sir Wilfred
Laurier will be present to welcome the
distinguished guest. If the weather
is favorable for the public demonstra-
ton in honor of the Blessed Eucharist
the streets of Montreal will present
a scene which eye witnesses will never
forget. Yet there is always danger
that plotters of evil will take advan-
tage of every opportunity to do their
dirty work while the congress is in
session. It has been so on previous
occasions and there is little doubt that
attempts will be made to mar the
Montreal event. In spite of all that can
be done to bring about the contrary
there is every reason to believe that
the Eucharist congress will result in
clarifying the Blessed Sacrament and
in adding to the prestige and power
Of the Catholic Church.

The editor OF the Springfield Repub
lican, one of the ablcst journalists in
New England, says: Now that the
only limitation upon the personal free
dom of King Geofge is that he must
be some sort of Protestant Chris
ton, we might infer that is progress,
indeed toward the religious enamel
patton Of His Majesty although he re-
mains the victim of species OF slav
cry which none of his subjects would
endure. That the ultra Anglican
have fought this concession to the
nonconformist is not surprising. An
established church becomes IL kind of
absurdity if the sovereign himself is
to be no longer Obliged by law to be
q member of it, and it involves no
great hazard to say that the action of
the House of Commons, the bulk of all
parties concurring, brings nearer the
day when England will tolerate no
longer the official maintenance of a
particular church by the state in pref
erence to any other"

THE COMIC SECTION,

Every Sunday paper, in order that
it may appeal to all the members of the
family, is provided with an elaborate
colored comic section for the amNse-
ment of the children and such of the
grown people as can find pleasure in
perusing the ludicrous portrayals The
ideas conveyed by the pictures are
numerous and the only unfortunate
thing about them is that rarely if ever
are they such that any child could
profit by absorbing them. On the other
hand, they almost always illustrate
escapades in which children are made
to get the better of parents and super
iors in various cunning ways that lit
tie ones would better be ignorant Of
1t is surprising how thoroughly chill
dren will absorb the ideas presented
on a pictorial page. The minutest de-
tails, such as the scratches and court
plaster bandages do not escape their
notice. Later on, when they are able to
read. the printed page can be just as
harmful. This fact has often been
sadly illustrated by children acting to
fatal end crime that has been de-
scribed in the papers in detail. After
notorious criminal has been captured
and disposed of and all the revolving
incidents have been read and re-read
by little ones they have often inno-
Gently done the very things that they
have read about.
1t is true, the comic section does not
portray things of such a serious ma
ture but it does present the elementary
foundation for serious wrong doing. It
aims to present ludicrous situations.
In order to do this children are invari-
ably shown to disregard their parents
wishes and to avoid punishment for so
doing. In this way serious offenses
are dealt with lightly and the children
who spend hours admirng the feats
pictured for them in the Sunday papers
accept them as precedents for their
own doings and grow up to disregard
their superiors.
| Aside from their immoral nature the
pictures presented in the comic section
are a travesty on art that must injure
rather than develop the childs artistic
sense.

Gaelic by Mr.. John Macleod, delegate
from the Mod, Scotland.

During the summer many boys and
girls have approached the altar and
received the Blessed Eucharist for the
first time in their lives. They all made
resolutions then, no doubt to be faith
full in receiving that Sacrament often.
1t would be too bad if their good in
tentions would fade like the foliage in
the fall, as is the case with so many
only to come to life again when Easter
time arrives. 1t is much harder to
prepare for the worthy reception of
the Holy Eucharist after long inter-
val than when it is received often and
hence how much better it is never
to forget those first Holy Communion
resolutions.

step if one is not by grace called upon

step if one is not by grace called upon
to take it.
Parents can do their duty by their
sons by keeping them in an atmos-
phere that will foster the religious
spirit In them. II they are taught the
beauty of the service of God and all
that it means and are kept in the CON-
pany of those who illustrate by their
lives this lesson, they will, if they are
blessed with call from heaven, find
their place without a word ever hav-
ing been said about their entering the
priesthood.
On the other hand the fear of the
burdens entailed in the service of God
in the priesthood should not cause
parents to discourage their sons from
assuming it's responsibilities if they
are inclined that way. The course of
training they must complete is long
and severe and if their inclination
proves to be only a passing desire they
will not be likely to follow the rigor-
Gus course to its conclusion.
God will lead his chosen ones to
serve him if they are not detained by
untoward circumstances. If environ
ment is such as to develop the priestly
inclinations the boy who is chosen for
the sanctuary will find his way there
ultimately.

The people who visit Rome this
summer declare that the road to the
Vatican was never so easily found.
and the Holy Father never so gracious,
says the Western Waterman. Viewed
from the Vatican hill all things human
appear as if seen from the large end
of the telescope. Kings and Emper-
ors are very insignificant things, and
only God is great There was a time
when crowned heads made pious pill
srimages to the Second Peter. Then
Kings were royal and they had great
mission among men. 1t is a pity the
custom has not been kept up. No man
is fit to rule people who has not
seen himself reflected in the mirror
Of Vatican tradition. In 1t every man
is small, even the Pope. Only God is
Great in Rome.

IRISH HUMoR.

James Anthony Froude once wrote:
We have heard much of the wrongs
of Ireland, the miseres of Ireland, the
crimes of Ireland; every cloud has it's
sunny side and when all is said Ire
land is still the most beautiful island
in the world; and the Irish themselves,
though their temperament is ILL
matched with ours, are still among the
most interesting of people," 1t would
be hard to pay a more eloquent tribute
to the Irish people and their country.
And yet it is not unmerited praise,
for misfortune and persecution have
never been able to wean the Irish
from their sunny disposition. Irish wit
and humor have sent many a ripple Of
laughter on it's mission or relaxation
in circumstances that none but an
1rishman could use to liven his
thoughts with. 1t is no doubt on ac-
count of this sunny temperament that
the Irish are, in the words of F'roude,
among the most interesting of people.
1t seems paradoxical that a sunny
disposition should be associated with
SO much misery as the Irish people have
suffered-a paradox that may be ex-
planned only, on the assumption that
the good and evil in the world are
never wholly unbalanced. The Irish
have been deprived of their right to
self government but no means has
ever been found to restrain them from
turning the laugh on all Corners. Their
rights have been wrested from them,
but their cheerfulness never. Ireland
with it's picturesqueJ. landscapes, its
green hills and greener valleys, its
placid lakes and gushing rivers, its
salubrious climate and it's everlasting
touch of Spring. is a fit home for a
charms Of the country are conducive
to cheerfulness and the Irish character
is diathermous to all. but the sunshine
of it's surroundings.
Irish literature. is an expression of
the happy thoughts Of a light-hearted
people in which enduring gems of ex-
preston are not rare. The love songs
that have been inspired by fair colleens
are myriad in numbers and in them
may be found combined with inimitable
melody sly terms Of affection in which
humor and sentinsntality are beau
tifully mingled. Prose and poetry
alike are leavened with passages that
are powerful in refreshing the weary
mind and dispelling the gloom of UNI
pleasant surroundings.
The world owes much to the Irish
for their contribution to the worlds
mirth. Many a gathering has beer
swept by sally after sally Of laughter
just because an ingenious Irishmar
created some ridiculous tale. Everyone
enjoys the 1rishman's humor because
it Is clean and wholesome and con.
tains those qualities that make the
sides convulse and shake from minc
and body every trace of care.

The tools of the great anti Catholic
secret society that is so powerful in
France and Spain, pretend that they
are not opposed to Catholicity but
only to clcricalism; that they do not
antagonize the parish priests, but only
the religious orders; that they are not
fighting religion. but only reforming
abuses, etc. says the Catholic Colum-
bian. They are deceivers. He and His
Church are the objects of their hatred.
They do Him and it what injury they
can today, and tomorrow they will go
ION to new efforts in evil.
