A SAINT FOR THE WEEK.
ST. BARTHOLOMEW, APOSTLE.

There can be little doubt that Bar
tholomew-that is, the son of Tolmai'
one of the twelve apostles, is the
Nathaniel of st. Johns Gospel He
was native of Cana in Galilee, and
was one of the first disciples of Jesus.
Once only is he presented to our view
in the gospel and that once is in the
story of his conversion It is always
instructive to note the early graces
of those who were destined to do great
deeds, and we're most honored by
Christ. We have not far to go in
search of the characteristic grace OF
Nathaniel, for in this instance our
Lord has Himself pronounced his pam
egyric, Behold an Israelite indeed, in
whom there is no guile It was Philip
who first said to the future apostle.
We have found the Messias of whom
the prophets wrote, Jesus of Naza-
reth.' Nathaniel, having it in mind
that the Christ was to be born at
Bethlehem, and the village of Naza-
reth being in had repute, answered
doubtingly, Can any good come out
of NAZARETH Philip simply replied,
Come and see; and the humble-mind-
ed youth, whose single desire was to
find the truth, went. When our Lord s
words of praise reached his ear, he
wondered, saying, Whence knowest
Thou me" Jesus answered. Before
Philip called thee, when thou vast
hn Hrr two T il,
disciple saw that the secrets of his
soul were read Alone under the fig
tree, the favorite place of prayer and
meditation to the devout Israelite,
Nathaniel had doubtless given vent
to his holy aspirations. His guileless
soul was discovered by the Searcher
of Hearts, while the grace of faith and
the vocation of an apostle came to
the new disciple as he cried, Thou art
the Son of God, the King of Israel
He is shown to us, in fact, as a SIM
pie, earnest, single-minded man, lead
ing an unworldly quiet life, whose
only power was prayer, possessing the
innocence of the dove rather than the
wisdom of the serpent. OF these ma
terials the Holy Ghost fashioned pill
lar of the Church, an Apostle, and a
martyr. On the dispersion of the
| Apostles, India fell to the lot of Bar
tholomew. After heroic labors and
suferings there he passed into Ar
menia where he converted many cities
to the faith. At last the hostility OF
the pagan priesthood broke out
against him. They f1ayed him alive
and then struck or his head, and SC
fulfilled for him the promises oil
Christ.

RELICS.

We honor the relics of the saints as
precious remains. They recall to our
minds noble lives, full of virtue and
heroic deeds They possess no hidden
power in themselves, but God often
makes, them the vehicle of His favors.
Far from being idolatrous, the honor
which we pay to the relics of the
saints rebounds upon God, whose
servants they are. st. Jerome argues
with Vigilantius in this way: mot
only do we not adore the relics of the
martyrs, but we do not even adore the
angels, the archangels, the cherubim,
and seraphim. Yet we honor the relics
of the martyrs that we may adore
Him whose martyrs they are. We
honor the servants, that the honor be-
slowed on them may rebound to their
Master" In the same meaning ST.
Augustine wrote to Quintian: 81 send
you the relics of st. Stephen, the
martyr, which you will honor as it is
proper"
God sometimes does bestow mira
culous power on the bones and relics
of His saints. What is to prevent Him
from doing it? A dead man who was
placed in the tomb of Eliseus was re-
stored to life as soon as he touched
the bones of the prophet CIV. Kings
xiii. 2D. God communicated marvel
lous power to the mantle of Elias, to
the shadow of st. Peter, to the hand
kerchiefs and aprons of st. Paul. The
many miraculous wrought at the
tombs and by the touch of the relics
of the saints prove that the honor
shown to them is agreeable to God.
The Catholic Church has always
taken great care to prevent fraud and
abuse with relics. She does not Ger
tify to their genuineness without care

THE FOLD AND THE FIELD.

A convert recently expressed him

This gentleman, former student at
an Episcopal seminary in New York,

fellow Catholics on this phase of their
Church's activity. He thus neatly
sums up his observations:

Y. N. c. A.

Having rendered his resignation as
physical director of the Montgomery

held for nearly two years, Mr.. Muir
ray Dunn will return to Americas, his
home, two weeks hence to assume the
duties of general secretary of the To-
cal Y. NJ. C. A, to which he was
unanimously elected quite recently.
The return here of Mr.. Dunn, and
particularly in the capacity in which
he comes, gives general satisfaction
and insures the revival of INTEREST in
the association here.
Young, capable and popular, he will
build up the local association to a
high plane. Of his departure from
that city the Montgomery Journal has
the following mention:
The resignation Of Murray A. Dunn
erstwhile physical director of the
Montgomery Y. NJ. c. A, was tender
ed General Secretary L. p. Dix on
Thursday morning. Mr.. Dunn has
made great number of friends while
he has been in this city and, although
they will undoubtedly be sorry to
learn of his departure, will be glad
that the new work he undertakes will
be another forward step taken on the
ladder of success. Mr.. Dunn will be-
come the General Secretary Of the
Y. NJ. c. A, in Americas, Ga.
Mr.. Dix, who has just returned from
his vacation, expressed his regret at
having to lose his physical director
and said that his only wish was to
secure a man equally as good for the
position, a matter which he cOnsid-
ers in some ways difficult.

as tenderly as if they were her chicks.
The kittens have learned to heed the
call of the hens "cluck' and the old
hen spreads her wings over them to
protect them as if they We're her own

The affection displayed by the kit
tens for the hen and by the hen for
the kittens is the most unusual be-
cause the mother of the kittens is
living and nurses them as regularly
as if they did not have a foster mother
The old cat seems to understand the

the attention shown her offspring by
the hen. The hen does not understand
why the kittens, which have acquired
strength, desire to run about the yard,
and she becomes very uneasy when
they are out of her sight.
She left a sitting of eggs to adopt
the kittens and has lost interest IN
chickens since the arrival Of the kit
