A SAINT FOR THE WEEK.
ST. sTANisLAs.

Stanislas was born in answer to
prayer when his parents were advan-
ced in age. Out of gratitude they edu-
Gated him for the Church, and, from a
holy priest, he became, in time,
Bishop of Cracow. Boleslas IT. was
then King of Poland-a prince of good
disposition, but spoiled by long
course Of victory and success. After
many acts of lust and cruelty he out
ragged the whole kingdom by carrying
off the wife of one of his mobiles.
Against this public scandal the chaste
and gentle Bishop alone raised his
voice. Having commended the matter
to God, he went down to the palace
and openly rebuked the king for his
crime against God and his subjects,
and threatened to excommunicate him
it he persisted in his sin. Boleslas, in
revenge, made false charge against
the Bishop, but on its being miracu.
lously refuted he made a show for a
better life. To SANDER the Saints
character, he suborned the nephews

their uncle had never been paid for
land bought by the Bishop for the
Church. The Saint stood fearlessly
before the kings tribunal, though all
his witnesses forsook him, and guaran
teed to bring the dead man to witness
for him within three days. On the
third day, after many prayers and
tears, he raised Peter to life, and LED
him in his grave-clothes before the
king. Boleslas was only hardened by
the miracle; but the voice of Stanislas
never faltered in it's warnings till his
courage won for him his palm. Boles
las persisted in his scandalous ex
cesses; and the Bishop, finding all
remonstrance useless, pronounced the
sentence of accommodation. In de
f1ance of the censure, on May s, 1919
the king went down to chapel where
the Bishop himself was saying Mass
and sent in three companies of soldiers
to dispatch him at the altar. Each in
turn came out saying they had beer
scared by light from heaven. Their
the king rushed in and slew the Saint
at the altar with his own hand.

And breathless wait the coming of the
Lord.
The miracle is wrought on earth again,
And round the. altar radiant angels
sing,
Majesty, power, glory heralding.
A joyous strain breaks on the silence
sweet,
The organ peals it's mighty strains SUI
blime,
And youthful voices join in sweet
toned song,
"Laus Deo'! Praise the God on earth
to greet,
Uniting hymns with Heavens angel

Lord, God, Creator, Master of all time!

YOUR PRICELESS HERITAGE.

Many of Gods children are poor in
this worlds goods, says the Pittsburg
Observer, but they are rich in faith.
faithful in Smyrna He said, II know
thy poverty, but thou art rich.'' And
it is impossible to overestimate the
value of these riches.
The prophet Micah had a concep-
ton of the wonderful extent of the
believers heritage when he wrote in
the closing words of his prophecies,
Thou wilt perform the truth to ia
cob, and the loving kindness to Abra-
ham, which thou hast sworn unto our
fathers from the days of old" What
ever God had promised to Abraham
in covenant and to Jacob, the Lord
would certainly fulfill. It is impossible
for us to comprehend in our finite
minds the richness and fulness of
these covenant promises. They begin
with the all-comprehensive promise,
81 will be a God to thee and to thy
seed after thee" They include the
promise to Jacob, II will not leave
thee until have done all that have
spoken of to thee'-the pledge or
guarantee that he should be brought
into full possession of all that God had
promised.
This is still the heritage of all who
fear the name of the Lord with a
child-like, flial fear. And one of the
best parts of the covenant promise is
that God will fulfill it's provisions, not
according to our feeble, and limited,
and often perverted understanding OF
what they were meant to convey, but
according to Gods own perfect COM
nant. A wise father does not bestow
upon his child the wealth to which
it expects to fall heir according to it's
whims and fancies. To do SO would
be to dissipate the wealth and ruin
the child. Neither does God always
bless us according to our asking, for
He knows our perverted tastes and
desires. He answers prayers accord
ing to His own All-wise and All-gra-
cious purpose to do for His children
that which will be for their highest
good. We are often disposed to rebel
at His withholding that on which we
set our hearts and to call in question
His love for us because Of such de-
malls. But do you who are parents love
your children less because you refuse
to lavish upon them every thing for
which they cry? Not because you love
them less, but because you love them
more, do you refuse the granting of
many request. There are times
when you cannot make them under
stand that such refusals are not
caused by lack of love. Nevertheless
you firmly maintain your position,
knowing that the good of the child de-
mands it, and believing that some day
he will see the wisdom, and goodness
of the course you are now pursuing.
I know of no sweeter, fuller peace
that can come into any life than by
lifting up the heart in fullest conf
dence that our Father will bestow
/ upon us the riches of His covenant
according to His own understanding Of
its provisions. Paul had this assur-
ance when he ascribed glory and do
minion to Him Who is able to do ex-
ceeding abundantly above all that we
ask or think. He had caught the spirit
Of the prophet who was assured that
God would perform the truth which
He had promised to Jacob, and the
loving kindness which He had sworn to
Abraham.

there can be no doubt that this game

The game was confined to the lower

noise in the city caused by hustling

Edward H., ordered his sherifrs to sup
press such idle practices" because
the skill at shooting with arrows was
almost totally laid aside for the pur-

But so persistent were the popular
classes in this almost national pastime
that Richard il. and his successors
had TO continue to proclaim against

This determined prosecution had no
