THE CATHOLIC PRIEST.

We recognize the priest as one cho-
sen from among men to serve men in
the affairs of Cod He is the minis
ter of reconciliation with God, the
teacher of the truth, the one who offers
the Sacrifice, who administers the Sac
raments, who prays for. the people.
We distinguish in him that double
character of man and priest; we rec
ognize his tendency to human fraility
but we also recognize the divine char
acter of the priesthood which forces us
to bend the knee to him for the, for
giveness of sins and to receive from
his hands the Holy Sacrament of the
Eucharist. His ordination has con-
ferred upon the man the character OF
the priesthood of Jesus Christ In the
parish he is the ambassador of God,
the minister of the sacraments, the
guardian of the sacred deposit of faith,
the defender of the peoples rights, and
the unselfish friend of everyone. From
the cradle to the grave he touches in
timately the lives of his people and
brings to them in all the circumstances
of life the blessings of the Divine Saw.

minister The people feel that in the
true priest there is no faint of selfish
ness and that he is willing to sacra
fee his life in order that the spiritual
interests of his people may not suffer

USING THE PRAYER BOOK.

A prayer book is necessary COM
panion at church. Everybody should
have one while attending religious ex-
ercises and make use of it, especially
at the Mass. In every prayer book
will be found devotional reading suit
able to the wants and tastes of diff
ferent classes of people. We should
become familiar with the several parts
so as to make them, in way, our own.
This is especially true of that part en-
titled the Ordinary of the Mass"
which is a translation of the different
parts of the Mass, and by noting the
accompanying explanations they can
be followed along as the priest pro-
ceeds, each passage, psalm and prayer
being read at the same time with him.
BY doing this the great Sacrifice of the
altar will be more fully understood,
more clearly apprehended and better
appreciated. The fruits and graces
will be CORRESPONDENCE greater. Read
devoutly and slowly, even though you
cannot finish reading the passage by
the time the priest has finished the
part to which it corresponds
To enter thoroughly into the spirit
of the services, the prayer book is alb
solutely necessary at church. Always
have it with you. Do not be ashamed
to carry it with you, Occupy your
time in church by carefully reading its
contents and try to enter into the
meaning it conveys. Many people
come to church seemingly for no other
purpose than to sit and gaze about.
They do not pray, nor read, nor try to
enter into the spirit of the mysteries
of their religion. They sit or stand
as cold and motionless as statues.
While these fulfill in perfunctory
manner the obligation Of hearing Mass,
they derive but little benefit from their
attendance.
If for any reason the prayer book is
not on hand take out your rosary beads
and say the Rosary carefully, meditat-
ing on the mysteries. Always carry
your beads about your person. Keep
them in your pocket at all times.
Never be without them. Parents
should see that their children come to
church provided with these articles of
devotion. How disedifying to see
children sitting in the pews and star
ing at others, or standing around the
doors or in the corners with their
hands in their pockets! Parents are
largely accountable for such conduct

A SAINT FOR THE WEEK.
ST. cAslMlR.

Casimir, the second son of Casimir
Ill, King of Poland. was born in the
year 1853 From the custody of a most
virtuous mother, Elizabeth Of Austria,
he passed to the guardianship of a
devated master, the learned and pfOus
John Dugloss. Thus animated from
his earliest years by precept and ex-
ample, his innocence and piety soon
ripened into the practice of heroic vir-
tue. At the age of twenty-five, sick of
lingering illness, he foretold the
hour of his death, and chose to die a
virgin rather than take the life and
health which the doctors held out to
him in the married state. In an as
mosphere of luxury and magnificence
the young prince had tasted, worn a
hair shirt, slept upon the bare earth,
prayed by night, and watched for the
He had become so tenderly devoted to
the Passion of our Lord, that at Mass
he seemed quite rapt out of himself;
and his charity to the poor and af-
fiicted knew no bounds. His love for
our Blessed Lady was expressed in a
long and beautiful hymn, familiar to us
in our own tongue The miracles
wrought by his body after death fill
a volume. The blind saw, the lame
walked, the sick were healed, dead
girl was raised to life. And once the
Saint in glory led his countrymen to
battle, and delivered them by glor-
ious victory from the schismatic Rus
sian hosts.
One hundred and twenty-one years
after his death the Saints tomb in
the Cathedral of Vienna was opened
that the holy body might be trans,
ferred to the rich marble chapel where
it now lies. The place was damp, and
the very vault crumbled away in the
hands of the workmen; yet the Saints
body, wrapt in robes of silk, was found
whole and incorrupt, and emitted a
sweet fragrance, which filled the
church and refreshed all who were
present Under his head was found
his hymn to Our Lady, which he had
had buried with him. The follow
ing night three young men saw bril-
liant light issuing from the open tomt
and streaming through the windows OF
the chapel.

THE PRACTICAL CATHOLIC.

No doubt the Catholic young man
understands at least that he is called
to be a practical Catholic. Still, it is
to be feared that this term connotes
to him merely one who attends Mass
on Sundays, abstains on Friday, and
tries in general to observe the Com
mandments of God and the Church.
If, however, he reflects for a moment
on the deep-rooted significance of this
phrase, he will find that it suggests
vastly more than mere religious OBJ
|servance. 1t will tell him that prac-
tical Catholic is one with definite
vocation in life, one with vocation
which calls upon him to be leader
of men be his station in life what it
may, student, clerk or laborer. It will
suggest one with a vocation which de-
mands that the practical working out
of his life be proof that he is con-
WINGED of the religious principles he
presses the nature of this vocation
when he says that those who instruct
others unto justice will shine as stars
for all eternity"
Thus we see that the vocation i'm
piled in this phrase, practical Cath
olic," is nothing else but the 1ay-apos,
tolate. It is the means by which the
Catholic young man becomes an Apos-
tie of men. For, by this calling he
must conform his daily conduct to
the dictates of his religious principles.
Thus does he instruct others unto JUS
tice. True, he breaches not in words,
but he breaches in a manner much
more telling and convincing-he
breaches by example. He breaches at
times when words would avail naught.
He breaches in places where the min
lister of the Gospel can never hope to
penetrate
A sublime vocation this, by which
we shall shine as stars for all eternity

condition of brief sojourn within her
borders.
Il can conceive no scene more pa
thetic nor one that appeals more touch
ingly to our sympathies than the con-
temptation of child emerging into
the years of discretion seeing her
father and mother estranged from each
other. Her little heart is yearning to
love. She longs to embrace both par
ents, but finds that she cannot give her
affection to the one without exciting
the displeasure or resentment of the
other.
"A lady prominent in social life once
said to me in Newport: I do not rec
ognize any law, human or divine, that
can deprive husband or wife Of the
right to separate and to enter fresh
espousals when they do not live in har-
mony together.
"sYou speak, I replied, of your
rights, your privileges. But you have
not word to say of your duties and
obligations
"Ah! my brethren, if men and wom-
en- had due consideration for their
duties and esponsibilities their rights
would take care of themselves. There
can be no rights where there are no
corresponding obligations. There are
no rights against the law of God.
Christ has left us code of legisla-
tion in the Gospels. These moral prin-
ciples are immutable because they are
founded upon the eternal principles of
truth and justice. They have already
stood the test of 1000 years; they are
as vigorous and as authoritative today
as when they came from the lips OF
their Divine Founder. And they will
be binding on the conscience of men
as long as human society itself shall
last" Cardinal Gibbons.

A LITTLE ESSAY ON DEATH.
(By Michael T. O'Leary.)

o death, where is thy sting? O
grave, where is thy victory?
Disciples of pessimism say that in
this life there are only two things
certain, death and taxes; but the OPP
timists, their opponents in everything.
see all along life's pathway, even at
deaths door, good and consolation in
all things.
Death is a certainty, for Scripture
teaches us "that in the midst of life
we are in DEATH" filing, as it were, a
caveat to prepare for death, warn
ing to the living that we should live
each day as though it we're our last.
Stephen White, that beloved philan-
thropist, said: II expect to pass
through this life but once. If there
is any kindness l can show or any
good thing 1 can do for my fellow
being, let me do it now. Let me
neither neglect nor defer it, for I
shall not pass this way again" Here
was q postmaster of optimism, and
who can say that he feared death?
In doing good as he went along the
road of life he knew that when "and
he died" was written after the name
of Stephen White that his life had
been one of pleasure, a success in
every way.
Death, the king of terrors! His
majesty must be this indeed to the
infidel, the agnostic, or the atheist.
"An atheists laughs poor exchange
for Diety offended" To the Chris
tan, to him who believes in the i'm
mortality of the soul, death has no
fear, for his creed teaches him the
perfect life symbolic of happiness.
Death is the cessation of life-mors
omnibus communis. Death is common
to all; it spares not the just or the un-
just Then
So live that when thy summons comes
to join
The innumerable caravan which moves
To that mysterious realm where each
shall take
His chamber in the silent halls OF
death
Thou go not, like the quarry slave at
night,
Scourged to his dungeon. but, sus.
tanned and soothed
BY an unfaltering trust, approach thy
grave
Like one who wraps the drapery OF
his couch
About him and lies down to pleasant
dreams.
