RecOIIectiOns of Phillips Brooks.

Vt III the Boston Republic
The unwilling of the superb statue o.
| Phillips Brooks. the work of the late
| famous sculptor, Saint Gaudens. was z
matter of some interest to Bostonians
irrespective of religion Phillips Brooks
was great man and great citizen
and he always steadfastly set his face
against the long prevalent Catholic
bigotry. Indeed, he had many friends
among Catholics, for his splendid nat
ural virtues of honor and straightfor-
ward dealing.
1t is told of him that once a
poor Catholic weakling. hoping to better
her social position by affiliating herself
with Trinity church, came to Phillips
Brooks with a confused tale of het
doubts etc. He appreciated the con-
dition absolutely, and simply said: My
year woman. stay where you belong.
What can we give you religiously that
you do not already possess?" He was
too great to pretend even to take up the
social betterment" problem. On an
other occasion, he learned of a Catholic
girl in a much humber condition of life
these were the days of the dark
'S0s"-whO was sorely tempted to
change her faith for the sake of a live
lihood. Through a charitable woman.

saw her set on her feet, without any
sacrifice of the integrity of her con-
science. All he asked of the mediator
in this matter, whom he abundantly
supplied with the means necessary to
get the poor girl out of debt and into
work was that she should never know
the name of her benefactor.
Although he could not by any
flight of fancy be called a High
Churchman," he held with the Catholics
as to the advantages, if not the neces-
sity, Of celibacy for him who desired to
consecrate himself to Gods exclusive
service, and droll stories are told of his
devices for lodging the much too fiat
tering evidences of personal interest in
him on the part of some of the fair sex.
He was great friend of the late
Mother Aloysia Harley, of the Society
of the Sacred Heart, and more than
once crossed the Atlantic with her. on
her journeys in the interest of her
work. Often he would spend the great
er part of the day with or near this
venerable friend, not only for his pleas
ure in her society, but to stave off the
of young ladies who had
far too many social plans for the sup
posed leisure of this always busy man.

PeonIe of the World

It is estimated that the population OF
the world is one billion five hundred
millions. BY this mass of persons are
spoken some 5000 languages. and by
them are professed more than LOO re-

The average life is SO 1-3 years. One
fourth of mankind are said to die be-
fore the seventh, and one-half before
the seventeenth year Only one-sixth

We wish all Catholics in public life
would take to heart the following adj
monition of Archbishop O'Connell:
Politics IS a high and noble aspira-
ton. There is always a place, chance
a time and an opportunity for the true
Catholic to show himself for what he is;
and the one thing that a man needs to
keep himself above the temptations of
life is an ideal that the Chritian church
sets out in its teachings. The horror of

squandered Blessings,

/ said to myself at morning,
1 will make the most, today,
Of the blessings, be they great or small,
That happen to come my way;
And when it's record is written
On the pages of memory,
1t will read, This day was a perfect
day %?
That shall the record be.
So many things to be glad for
AS I thought of them at dawn
Life, health and the love of dear ones
But before the morn was gone
The cares and the vexing troubles
OF life came crowding in,
Till 1 quite forgot what its blessings
were
In the worry that is sin.
Alas for the record written
On memory's page tonight!
OF the petty cares ond the worries
That put good thoughts to flight.
Alas for the blessings squandered
In the fret over little things,
Alas for the hurt of loving hearts
By the hot, sharp word that stings!
Shall we never grow to wisdom
God meant for you and me,
That makes the most of life's blessings,
No matter how small they be.
The wisdom that sees the beauty
That is all along the way,
And will not let life's worry and fret
Come in to spoil the day
