How Did You Die?

Did you tackle the trouble which came your way
With resolute heart, and cheerful?
Or hide your face from the light of day
With craven soul and fearful?
U troubles q ton or a troubles ounce,
For trouble is what you make it:
And 1t isn't the fact that you're hurt that
counts,
But only. how did you take it?
You are stricken to earth? Well, what Of that
Come up with a smiling face.
It's nothing against you TO fall down fiat,
But to lie there-thats disgrace.
The harder you're thrown the higher you bounce
Be proud OF your blackened eye!
1t isn't the fact that you're beaten that counts,
It's how did you fght-and why?
And though you be done to the death. what
then?
II you battled the best you could,
II you played your part In the world of men,
Why, the Critic will call 1t good.
Death comes with a crawl, comes with q

But whether he's slow spry,

tie" AS he gazed with rapture, the bell
sounded the hour when the needy
would await their aims at the gate.
But how could he leave the one heavenly
vision of his lifetime? Yet he could not
keep out of his thoughts the images of
the sufferers, and with tears bade the
Christ vision farewell. When he had
relieved the haggard men, women and
children il was night. but as he was
about to strike light his cell was filed
with celestial brightness, and there
stood the form clear as the sun, no longer
like the church pictures, but with the
tender smile and eyes bent on him, and
as he fell before the stupendous vision
the Divine One lifted him and said
"Hadst thou not gone l had gone from
you.
The truth the poet taught is that they
who would live with Christ must do his
work.

this rest, though sometimes We just

trusting mind; it means freedom from
wrong and fret and fear. 1t means lay

Him. Sometimes for the active man this

them. Let me give myself for the bat

At twenty-five he left The chair for the

bishop.
Against the wish of the vicar general he
preached in Rome on the occasion of the
death of his friend Mgr. Carini, librarian
of the Vatican. From Rome he was in
vited to go to Piacenza for the month OF
May, 1895. Here. he says. he was ex-
pected to prai-e the Virgin Mary: instead
he preached the gospel of the 1ncarnate
Son Al last he decided to challenge
those III his church with whom he diff
fered and he delivered a forcible sermon
on Gerolamo Savonarola. the Italian re-
former. Thus he broke off his relation
shin with the Vatican and has ever since
PREACHED against such doctrines as he
felt to be contrary to Scripture and to
the practice of the early church. The
peorle of PiacenZa sided with him, he
declares. ard he rounded the Oratoiio OF
St Paul where i'm 1900. he received his
episcopal conservation at the hands OF
an independent Catholic archbishop,
