MEANING OF THE WORD "MAss."

There are various opinions as to the
derivation of the word Mass. Some
derive it from the Hebrew word mis-
sach, which signifies free gift or
offering; others are of the opinion
that it comes from the Latin word
dimissio, meaning dismissal, from the
circumstances that in the first five or
six centuries of the Church the faith
full were solemnly dismissed at the
end of the Mass by the deacon. This
dismissal, properly speaking, took
place twice during Mass: the first
time after the instruction or sermon
delivered Immediately after the Cos
pei; at this part of the Mass the
catechumens, or those from among the
pagans who were receiving instruction
in the Christian doctrine, were per-
mitted to be present; whilst the dis
ciplina Arcani, or the Discipline of the
Secret, forbade their presence at the
principal mysteries of religion, until
they should have been fully instructed
and admitted into the Church by bap-
tism. Hence, at the beginning of the
Offertory, the deacon would eXclaim:
"All those who are not permitted to
take part in the holy mysteries will
now retire" After the Offertory, Con-
secration, and Communion were over,
the deacon turned to the people
second time, saying: Ute Missa est"
Go, the assembly is dismissed, the
service is ended! This latter dismis-
sal takes place even today. Others
again derive the word Mass from the
Latin verb "mittere," taking it in the
sense of Ito send an ambassador. or
transmitting by messenger" because
the priest, as the ambassador of
Christ, offers or transmits the un-
bloody sacrifice to the Heavenly Fa-
Their. Without laying particular weight
upon this Interpretation, it is at least
the most instructive for us. Thus, St.
Paul calls himself and his successors
ambassadors of Christ e Cor. v.
2O.) But the priest is not only an
ambassador of Christ, but, when
standing at the altar of the Lord, he
is also an ambassador of the faithful,
because in the name of the whole
people he offers to the Heavenly Fa-
Their His divine Son, and presents to
Him the wants and petitions of all.
In this sense the holy Mass may be
called an embassy, because through
it the faithful transmit their prayers
and wishes to God, by the mouth of
the priest.

state of grace Gree from all mortal
sin), and for this purpose should go
to confession and receive the Blessed
Sacrament If he possibly can; second
ly, he must have the intention of re-
ceiving it, If not an actual intention
at least a general or implied inten-
ton; thirdly, he must be sorry for
all of his sins, venial as well as
mortal; fourthly, he must invoke the
name of Jesus, if not orally at least
in his mind; filthy, he must be re-
signed to Gods will, even if he should
be taken away by death. These con-
ditions have reference to person
having the use of his reasoning facul
ties. If for any cause he is not in
possession of his senses, he must at
least be in state of grace.
The dying should, therefore, en-
deavor to have lively sentiments of
faith, hope and charity-believing all
the truths the Church believes and
teaches, trusting in the great mercy
of God and the boundless compassion
of Jesus Christ, loving God above all
things, forgiving every one and ask
ing forgiveness at least mentally. He
should be sorry for his sins, and re-
solve that in case God gives him back
his health and strength, he will be
more careful to avoid sin and more
diligent in keeping Gods command
ments. Lastly, he should offer up
his sufferings in union with the pas
sion and death of our Lord, and &C
cept Gods will if He should see fit
to take him away by death.
How happy is the Christian thus
dying! The Church stands by his
side in the last trying hour; she
blesses him with solmen blessing
and grants him, if he has the right
disposition, a full pardon of all the
temporal punishment due the divine
justice for his past offenses as he is
about to step into eternity. Should
he gain this indulgence as he passes
into the presence of God, he would
be Immediately numbered among the
saints.

THE SAcRAMENTALS.

Catholics make use of certain things
which are blessed or set aside by the
Church for the purpose of exciting
good thoughts and creating pious dis
positions. These are the sacramen-
tails. Through the virtuous sentiments
aroused by them in the heart and
soul, venial sins are RENTED and our
spiritual good advanced. They may
also avail for our temporal welfare.
They are classified under different
headings, such as rites and ceremon-
les connected with the administration
of the Sacraments; benedictions and
exercises not in connection with the
Sacraments; things which are sacred
either by divine origin or through the
various blessings of the Church; and
lastly certain pious works and exer-
cises. 1t is not our intention to
enumerate them all here, but only
those which are in most common use
among Catholics. We may mention
the sign of the cross, holy water,
blessed candles, blessed palm, blessed
ashes, rosary beads, scapulars, cruel
fixes, agnus deis, images Of our Lord
and the saints, many prayers and all
blessings or benedictions of whatso-
ever kind.
It must be borne in mind that there
is vast difference between them and
the Sacraments. The Sacraments
were instituted by Christ, and in
fallibly give grace if there be no OBJ
stacle in the way; the sacramentals
were instituted from time to time by
the Church, and incline us to the prac-
tice of virtue by creating movements
of the heart and dispositions of the
soul that are pleasing to God. In this
manner they remit venial sin and con-
tribute to the advancement of our
spiritual and temporal we'll being.
They do not possess any power in
| themselves. To hold that they do would
be superstitious and idolatrous. They
derive their efficacy from the prayers
of the Church, and from the fact that
| the Church blesses them and sets
them aside as instruments for creating
| food thoughts and virtuous DISPOSE
tions Material things are absolutely
incapable, of their own inherent
power, to give help to any one, except
to satisfy natural wants, but they may
be blessed or assigned by the Church
to certain uses, and through that
blessing and assignment they become
instruments for good Then they be.
come sacred things and should be re.
garded as such by the faithful To
show disrespect or contempt for them
is to show disrespect and contempt
for the Church which has authority
from God to employ every legitimate
means in her power to induce those
under her care to lead good, holy
lives.

THE REAL PRESENCE.

Nineteen hundred years ago, the
eternal Son of God left the splendors
Of heaven, came on earth, and lived
upon it as man for thirty-three years.
After dying most cruel and ignomin-
ious death upon the cross, He rose
from the dead and forty days later
assembled into heaven And yet we
Catholics believe that He is still upon
earth in His sacred humanity. Yes,
we firmly believe that upon our affairs,
in the Holy Eucharist, Our Lord and
Savior. Jesus Christ, is present really,
truly, and substantially, under the APP
pearance of bread, present with soul
and body. with flesh and blood, as
God and man, precisely the same

Virgin, the same Lord, Who preached

A SAINT FOR THE WEEK.
ST. AUGUSTINE OF HIPPO.

ST. Augustine was born in 354, at
Tagaste in Africa. He was brought
up in the Christian faith, but without
receiving baptism. An ambitious
schoolboy of brilliant talents and
violent passions, he early lost both
his faith and his innocence. He per-
sisted in his irregular life until he
was thirty-two. Being then at Milan
protesting rhetoric, he tells us that
the faith of his childhood had re-
gained possession of his intellect, but
that he could not as yet resolve to
break the chains of evil habit. One
day, however, stung to the heart by
the account of some sudden CONVEX
sions, he cried out, ''The un1earned
rise and storm heaven, and we, with
all our learning, for lack of heart lie
wallowing here" He then withdrew
into a garden, when long and ter
rible conflict ensued. Suddenly a
young fresh voice Che knows not
whose) breaks in upon his strife with
the words, "Take and read;" and he
lights upon the passage beginning,
walk honestly as in the day." The
battle was won. He received baptism,
returned home, and gave all to the
poor. At Hippo, where he settled, he
was consecrated bishop in 395. For
thirty-five years he was the centre
of ecclesiastical life in Africa, and
the Church's mightiest champion
against heresy; whilst his writings
have been everywhere accepted as
one of the principal sources of devo-
tional thought and theological specu-
lation. He died in 430.

RELIGIOUS INDIFFERENCE.

Religious Indifference in an in
sensibility towards spiritual things
By the proper use of a telescope a
person may obtain a correct impress
sion of distant objects, but by revers-
ing the same even adjacent things
assume diminutive proportion. 1t
is the same with the view man takes
of spiritual things. If he considers
them with the eye of faith, God,
heaven, and eternity absorb his entire
attention. But if he observes them
only with the eye of the world, even
his immortal soul and his dignity as
a child of God seem of no consequence.
Unfortunately, many persons survey
the supernatural with this inverted
telescope of life, and thus become in
different to the true value of spiritual
things.
Four causes are assigned for this
inconsistent conduct. They are, pride,
avarice, sensuality, and human re-
spect. A person may be so absorbed
in his own sufficiency that he can see
nothing precious outside himself. He
may have allowed the tendrils of
his affections to Irvine around
earthly things so tightly that he can
not even fix his thoughts on anything
else. He may have become SO
inebriated with the pleasures on this
fleeting life that he has even become
spiritually unconscious. Or he may
have become the slave of human re
spect to the extent that, out of fear OF
displeasing man, he deliberately shuts
out the divine light from his soul and
becomes a traitor to his own con-
science.
Whichever the cause may be that
leads man to religious Indifference, the
consequence is the same Misfortune
is ever the recompense of religious in.
differentism. There is no real peace
of mind or heart, no true happiness for
this spiritual suicide. His conscience
will give him no rest during life, and
the punishment of God awaits him in
eternity.
The only remedy for religious in
difference is to turn to Jesus Christ
He is the great teacher of mankind
He gives a man the true idea of the
value of his soul, of the malice of sin
of the torments of hell, and of the
beauties of heaven. He is the anchor
that secures all of good will against
presumption and despair. BY the
sacrifices He has made and by the
trials He has endured for the love Of
mankind, He has become furnace Of
divine charity that can make the
coolest heart glow with ferVor.

FINDS SKELETON BY
RAIL ROAD TRACK
Believed to be That Of an Aged
Negro.

Clinton, Oct. 24.-The skeleton
OF 4 man was discovered yesterday
afternoon by some boys who were
gathering hickory nuts In . tract OF
timber near Camanche. The bones
evidently had lain for several years.
Coroner Kellogg believes the skel-
eton to be that Of John Douglas, an
aged negro who disappeared from
here Eve years ago. The skull has
African characteristics and the
frame Is gigantic. Douglas was
more than six feet tall.
The puzzle OF the case is how the
bones could have lain undisturbed
for so long. They were within a few
rods OF the Iowa & Illinois lntcrur-
ban railway and cattle had tram
pied part OF the skeleton into the
ground. The larger bones remain
ed intact. Nearby was found
shoe, the only vestige of the dead
mans clothes.
An inquest will be held.
