Second Fate-G ladys:
During all my travels in England,
Spain, Italy, Russia or France,
Nothing interested me, more than a
treasure
That came to me, merely by chance.
For, one sultry day in my leisure,
l stroled long the shore Of the sea
And gazing far off in the distance,
Saw wallet drifting toward me.
Surprised at such a gift, from the ocean
L seized it, as it reached me on shore
And opening the missive of leather,
Found secrets for me in store.
At the head Of a page in my treasure,
The first TO catch my eye,
Was a word of renown and promise
For the Sophies Of East Jordan High.
For them, their wear as Juniors,
Would be jolly, happy and gay
And the Seniors IL would look with
contempt,
At the bounteous spreads they'd lag.
Then too, for wit and humor
None ever that class has eXcelled
But list! Take advice from an elder
And beware, lest some get expelled.
OF we'll, the Juniors 'l3 will be careful
And know when their fun's had full
sway
They will turn all their pranks upon
scholars
And not on the teachers, 1 say.
Delighted at this, from the ocean
Again, the wallet / searched curiously
And found, TO my great amazement
OF Louise Selma Gleason, great des-
tiny.
As Senior receiving full honors,
This maiden, so prim and demure
During leap year when all were quite
busy.
Uninterested, she made long auto
tour.

The eve Of the marshmallow roast,
When close by her side sat Junior,
Aud we wondered who was blushing
the most.

In splendid two-seated machine,

The finest, she thought, she'd seen.

Ever trying to drive away trouble

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

One day, as our Lord was walking
by the Sea of Galilee, He saw, sitting
at the receipt of custom, Matthew the
publican, whose business it was to col.
lect the taxes from the people for
their Roman masters Jesus said to
him Follow Me- and leaving all, Mat.
thew arose and followed Him. Now
the publicans were abhorred by the
Jews as enemies of their country, out
casts, and notorious sinners, who en-
riched themselves by extortion and
fraud. No Pharisee would sit with
one at table. Our Saviour alone had
compassion for them. So st. Matthew
made a great feast, to which he in
vited Jesus and His disciples, with a
number of these publicans, who hence
forth began eagerly to listen to Him.
1t was then, in answer to the murmurs
of the Pharisees, that He said, They
that are in health need not the ply
stefan. | have not come to call the
just, but sinners to penance.' st. Mat
thew told st. Bridget, as she one day
prayed before his tomb, that before
his vocation he had the good inten-
ton to wrong no one, and was looking
about for an opportunity to be rid OF
his dangerous employment, SO as to
adhere to God with his whole heart
The call to follow Christ so infamed
his soul, and the words of the Divine
Preacher were so precious to him,
that from that moment he thought no
more of earthly riches than of so
much straw. He could only weep
with joy that our Lord had deigned
to call SO mean person and SO great
sinner to His grace. After the AS
cension, ST. Matthew remained some
years in Judea, and there wrote his
Gospel, to teach his countrymen that
Jesus was their true Lord and King
foretold by the Prophets. His devo.
ton was to the majesty of Christ, the
Sovereign of our hearts, who spoke
with authority and claims obedience
from His creatures, and who one day
will come again to judge the whole
world. st. Matthew afterwards
preached the faith far and wide, and
is said to have finished his course in
Parthia.

WHAT ARE WE DOING?

What are we doing for Christ?
Answer, each one, and say,
Idle are we from dawn till dusk;
Nothing adorns our way.
Pass we with careless STEP
Notice we not the SOIL
Flower or weed we little reck,-
Others may have the toll!
What are we doing for Christ?
Think of it ere too late!
Why should we leave for other hands
Work that for ours must wait?
All the dim Future rests
Just on the fleeting Now
What we have shirked, or cast
aside
What we have done, and how!
What can do?" you say;
What can you do? Give aid
To those who work for God afar,
Alone, and unafraid!
Place yourself in the front;
The Missioner befriend,-
Salvation for some heather soul
May thus on you depend!

WHAT is THE CHURCH,

In general, the Church may be de-
fined as society composed of all who
profess to pay God the debt of re-
igion according to the form estab-
ished by divine authority. The Church
which Jesus Christ has established
may be defined briefly as society
composed of all who practise religion
according to the guidance of His vicar
on earth.
Every society has it's peculiar or
ganization, it's own end, as well as the
means of attaining that end. In the
Church of the New Law Jesus Christ
has left a divine, monarchical organi-
cation, in which all mankind may find
the absolute knowledge and the in
fallible means of salvation. Jesus
Christ founded His Church on st. Peter
and made him His first vicar Thou
art Peter" (Peter means rock, said
Christ in His promise, "and on this
rock l will build My Church. To thee
will give the keys of the kingdom of
heaven" Afterward, when He had
built His Church, Jesus said again to
Peter, Feed My lambs, feed My
sheep
Jesus Christ commissioned His
Apostles to gather all mankind into
this society go We, therefore, teach
all nations" are the words of their
commission. He ordained, moreover,
that all be subject to the authority OF
this Church. eff any one will not hear
the Church." said He, ''let him be to
thee as a heather and a publican"
whatsoever hears you, hears Me, who
soever despises you, despises Me-"
Christ, finally, enjoined on all the use
of the same means of salvation, saying,
Teach them to observe whatsoever
have commanded you" "Baptizing
them in the name of the Father, and
of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost"
Whose sins you shall forgive, they
are forgiven them" do this in COM
memoration of Me-" From these
words alone it is evident that Jesus
Christ established a governing body in
His Church subject to st. Peter and
his successors, and conferred upon this
body threefold prerogative, viz: ID
teachers of the truth; (2) rulers of the
faithful; (3) priests of the Church,
and as such, ministers of Gods mercy
to all "of good will
1t is evident, moreover, that the
Church is Cd a visible society, visible
in her members and in her working;
(2) a supernatural society, conducting
all "of po0d WHIP tn their eternal ham
piness; 80 necessary society for all
who wish to go to heaven, because
Christ the Lord has instituted no
other; a. a divinely human society,
having God for it's founder and sus-
tainer and mankind for members; 90
a positive divine society whose nature
and properties are not to be deduced
from natural principles, but from the
deliberate institution of Jesus Christ.

THE SAINTS HEAR OUR PRAYERS

Our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ,
is our only mediator of redemption
and also of intercession by His own
rights and merits. The Catholic
Church ends all her prayers with the
words: Through Jesus Christ, Our
Lord" The saints in heaven are
called mediators and intercessors in
an entirely different sense; they are
such only by the merits of Our Lord,
by special power from God. In this
sense Moses could say to the people of
Israel: IT was mediator, and stood be-
tween the Lord and YOU
1t has been the strong belief of the
Jews of old that the saints in heaven
pray for their brethren on earth, and
the Catholic Church, which has sue
ceeded to the heritage of the syna-
gogue, has formulated her doctrine on
this point in the following concise
words: "The saints who reign with
Christ offer to God prayer for men; it
is good and useful to invoke them in
an humble manner and to fly to them
for aid and assistance" This teach
ing is no barren article of the Greed I;
it is part and parcel of Catholic life
and feeling; it is the golden link that
binds us to the invisible kingdom
where we are to live and reign for
ever. We love and honor the saints
the dear children of God, not indie
pendently of Him, but because He
honored them and surrounded them
with glory.
st. James writes: "The continual
prayer of the just man availeth much
st. Paul asked the Christians of Rome
to pray for him. If we may ask the
prayers of good people on earth, why
should we not invoke the assistance
Of the saints in heaven, who are sc
near to God?
Do they hear US? The angels hear
us; they rejoice over the conversion
of sinners. Christ tells us that the
just in heaven are like the angels OF
God. They hear and see all things
in God this is the best explanation
we can give The Scripture informs
us that when Moses was on the noun
tain, away from the people, GOD
showed him how they had fallen into
the sin of idolatry and that He would
destroy them on account of it. They
were spared at the prayer of Moses
The saints notice, as in a mirror, al
that is passing on earth. They are
deeply interested in all that concerns
us, in our spiritual and temporal vel
fare.
In praying to the saints, we lift oul
hands and hearts to those who have
washed their robes and made then
white in the blood of the Lamb. The.
were Of the same clay as we are; the.

were surrounded by the same tempta.
ton, those Of the world, the flesh, and
the devil. They might have lived
wicked lives and died as reprobates;
they triumphed with the grace of the
blessed Redeemer. They know how
to sympathize with us; for they know
from experience how weak is human
nature and how strong the power of
evil And looking down from the
golden thrones, they watch the issue
of the struggle and help us to victory
by their example and intercession.

PRAYERS FOR THE DEAD.

prayers for the dead is bound INSOFAR
ably, says DR.. Toner of Maynooth in
the Catholic Encyclopedia, with the
doctrine of purgatory, and is in keep
ing with the teaching of the Council
of Trent, namely, that "purgatory
exists, and that the souls detained
therein are helped by the SURFACES of
the faithful, but especially by the &C
ceptable sacrifice of the altar"
The Council of Florence in 1889 also
declared: eve define likewise that if
the truly penitent die in the love of
God, before they have made satisfac-
ton by worthy fruits of penance for
their sins of commission and omission,
their souls are purified by purgatorial
pains after death; and that for relief
for those pains they are benefited by
the SURFACES of the faithful in this
life, that is by Masses, prayers and
almsgiving, and by the other Offices of
piety usually performed by the faith
full for one another according to the
practice of the Church"
Of very few can it be hoped that
they have attained perfect holiness at
death; and none but the perfectly holy
are admitted to the vision of God. Of
few, on the other hand, will they at
least who love them admit the despair
ing thought that they are beyond the
pale of grace and mercy and con-
demned to eternal separation from
God, and from all hope to be with God.
On this ground alone it has been truly
said that purgatory is postulate OF
the Christian reason, and that grant
ing the existence of the purgatorial
state, it is equally postulate of the
Christian reason that the souls in
purgatory should continue to share in
the communion of saints, or, in other
words be helped by the prayers of
their brethren on earth and in
heaven.
For our own consolation, as well as
| for the dead, we want to believe in
this living intercourse of charity with
our dead We would believe in Purg-
atory without explicit warrant of
Revelation, on the strength of what is
otherwise revealed, and in obedience
to the promptings of reason and
natural affection.
1t is for this reason that modern
Professionals are reviving Catholic
teaching and practice in the matter.
There are some sayings of Christ re-
corded by the evangelists which are
most naturally interpreted as contain
4 ing an implicit reference to a purga-
torial state after death; and in st.
PauPs Epistles, passage of similar
import occurs, and other passages that
bear directly on the question of pray
ers for the dead
When Christ promises forgiveness
of all sins that man may commit,
except the sin against the Holy Ghost,
which shall not be forgiven him in
this life or in the life to come" is the
concluding phrase nothing more than
periphrastic equivalent for never
Is the forgiveness of certain "sins in
the world to come,' not implied?
No rational difficulty can be urged
against the Catholic doctrine of pray
ers for the dead; on the contrary, as
we have seen, the rational presump-
ton in its favor is strong enough to
induce belief in it on the part of many
whose rule of faith does not allow
them to prove with entire certainty
that it is doctrine of divine revela-
4 ton.
