MAKE USE OF GODS GRACE

During a lifetime the graces that are given us
are enough to make us saints many times over.
Why then, are we poor in virtue? Simply because
we waste the gifts of God They come but we let
them go; perhaps worse, we throw them away.
The person who becomes virtuous, or even holy, IS
the one who wastes least of the grace of God What
a startling thought, that we poor creatures can
Illustrate the plans of the infinite God! And yet
it is true, God has great designs for souls but
by our stupidity and our selfshness make it i'm
possible for Him to work for our sanctifcation.
For as Christ came first into the world and
some received Him and some rejected Him, now
He keeps coming, and He is rejected by too many
of us. For to reject His graces and His inspira-
lions is to reject Him. We pity and blame the
Jews for not accepting their Lord; do we blame
ourselves for casting Him out? Yet we know Him
better than they, and sin is greater. But the
reckoning will surely come. We may escape hell,
for only deliberate sin unrepented can bring us to
eternal punishment, but our appalling discovery
on the day of Judgment will be that we have built
a purgatory for ourselves by resisting grace that
is, by neglecting casting out of our minds what
we know to be the good inspirations of God.-St.
Joseph's Messenger, Dayton, 0.

SHAMROCKS

Oh dear little shomrock, you're welcome to me
From my own native Erin across the wild sea,
In the the glen where you grew sure 1 played when
a boy,
In those dear happy days of the sweet river Cloy
But whene'er you had grown I would love you as
well,
For the message you bring and the story you tell,
For the memories you wake of the dear days of yore
When we plucked the green shamrocks by Tough
Ernes shore.
Oh twas then that the day was great day for all,
From the mountains of Kerry to brave Donegal,
From the fair hills of Achill to sweet Dublin Bay
All wore the green shamrock on st. Patricks Day.
Then at Mass in the morning how joyous and clear
Rose the music in praise of the saint we revere,
And we prayed for old Ireland as ever we viii,
That the God who sent Patrick might watch Ger
her still.
So caed mile faelthe, sweet shamrock, to you
When 1 look on your leaves I can see GuIladhu,
I can see Muinroddy where birds sing their lay,
In praise of st. Patrick on st. Patricks Day
Cleveland, Ohio. John Campbell.

You stand today in the midst of soothing, an
ungodly world, the voices of the slaves are calling
to you Be firm children and soldiers of the Christ
be like the great the valiant St Paul. In all your
ways and days, act up to the faith which is within
you the hope which cheers you on, the love which
comes from Christ Before you lie the paths of
nobleness virtue and the right. These paths lead on
and home to God Heed not the voices of the slaves

ONE DAY AT A TIME

The sun warns us by its beams, one day at a
time, and then disappears until the next day.
Each person lives best who does his or her best
for one day at a time, and then refreshes them
selves for their level best the next day.
Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof"
Short periods are long enough for the endurance
of hard knocks.
Humanity lives only from moment to moment
A whole day is a lengthy period compared with
the space of each heart-throb
Take just one day at time and determine to
make it unique in your whole life history for the
light you cast about you
Say your prayers and go about your tasks in the
morning, and leave future obligations and duties
until the next morning.
Work while the day lasts, and leave nothing un-
done that should be performed Every morning
should find you with a clean record

A CHANGEABLE LITTLE MAID

| know little bright-eyed maid,
Whose moods now grave, now gay,
Change like a shifting weather vane,
In quite a pulling way.
While those who hear her laughing voice,
Her roguish smile remark,
Are wont with pleased accord to say,
''She's happily as a-lark."
Yet, oftentimes, grieve to add,
If vexed or hurt by care,
Transformed at once this maid becomes,
AS cross as any-bear.
And then our tongues in mild reproof
Of conduct bad we loose,
And with frown address her thus:
"You silly little gooseW
Throughout the day her active form,
First here, then there, we see,
And In amazement say she is
AS busy as a-bee.
At last when evening shadows fall
And silence rules the house,
In slumbering she rests at ease,
As quiet as a-mouse.
How she can be at once a goose,
And on the selfsame day
A mouse, lark, bee and bear,
Is more than I can say.
Yet none the less will maintain,
Nor contradiction fear,
That in addition to all else,
She's just little-dear.
George L. Benedict

A DAUGHTERS DEcALoGUE

Love your mother above all women
2. Have no thoughts which she can not know,
nor commit acts which she should not see.
3. Declare yourself in fault rather than lie
hypocritically.
4. Be in your house the one who with love and
merrlment vanquishes bitterness and sorrow.
5. Strive to be modest before being beautiful,
and to be always amiabe.
6. Have sincere convictions, pure faith, solid
knowledge and inexhaustible charity.
Z. Work at home as if you had not the help of
your mother. Act all your life as if she pres
ent.
s. Learn the art of hearing with patience, talk
full without excess, and you will have nearly at
tanned happiness.
9, Believe your house the best of homes, and
consider your parents your best friends
10. Remember that she who is not good daugh-
ter will never be a good wife nor a good mother.

OPPORTUNITY

A sculptor once showed visitor his studio. 1t
was full of gods. One very curious. The face
was concealed by being covered with hair and there
were wings on each foot.
"What is his name2" asked the spectator.
"Opportunity,' was the reply.
"Why is his face hidden?"
Because men seldom know him when he comes
to them"
''Why his he wings on his feet?'
Because he is soon gone, and once gone can
never be overtaken."

THE CHILDREN's LENT

This is the season of Lent and each little child
should know that Lent is time in which, every
year, we stop in work play to hear what Jesus
would say to US. Jesus cannot talk to unless
are quiet from being naughty in our own partic-
ular way, and know how to help others to be good
and happy
Each of us has some special fault, and only
Jesus can tell us how to overcome it. Let us pray
to Him very often during Lent and ask Him to
teach US His way of being good. And we will not
forget to put the pennies in miteboxes so that
the missionaries can go to tell every about our
Lord and His Iove-Exchange.

a reception such as would have been given to dis
tinguished visitors; but the life of the younger
sister had been sacrificed, and no human efforts
were of the least avail. She had the consolation
however, of knowing her deathbed that the young
lady whose rash accusation had sent her to her
grave had become Catholic
One year later Agnes took the veil in a convent
devoted to prison work. and during the rest of her
lifetime her dearest and most efficient clay mem

A VIRTUE or COURAGE

Many people are SO afraid to die that they never

Gustave Ullyatt has little daughter who hasn't
been well recently The other day a physician was
called to the Ulyatt home to see her. He exam
ined the child with the aid of a stethoscope. When
her father came home that evening he asked what

matter of not marking a paid
reader as an advertisement is
usually looked upon by all adver-
tisers as being of little, if any,
