A lay person can give only private
Baptism, and he does so by taking
common water, pouring it on the
head or forehead of the child, and at
the same time saying with the inten-
ton of doing what the Church does:
Il baptize thee in the name of the
Father, and of the Son, and of the
Holy Ghost
Lay persons must not administer
this Sacrament, except in cases of
real necessity, that is, unless there
is danger of death before the priest
can be called or before he arrives.
In these cases some one should bap-
tie the child, but the father or
mother should not baptize their own
child, if there be anyone else present
who can administer the Sacrament.
A Catholic doctor or nurse is the best,
or Catholic who understands some
thing about it's administration. A
gentleman should take precedence to
lady, unless the latter is better &C.
quainted with the formula.
When child is baptized in the
home, that is, baptized privately, it
must, in case of recovery, be brought
to the Church to have the ceremonies
supplied. These can be given only
in the church.

A SAINT FOR THE WEEK.
ST. ELIZABETH OF PORTUGAL.

Elizabeth was born in 1871. She
was daughter of Pedro III of ARA
gon, being named after her aunt, St.
Elizabeth of Hungary. At twelve
years of age she was given in mar
riage to Denis, King of Portugal, and
from a holy child became a sanity
wife. She daily heard Mass and re-
cited the Divine Office, but her devo'
lions were arranged with such prud'
ence that they interfered with no duty
of her state. She prepared for her
frequent Communions by severe aus
terities, fasting thrice week, and by
heroic works of charity. She was
several times called upon to make
peace between her husband and her
son A1phonso, who had taken up arms
against him. Her husband tried her
much, both by his unfounded Jealousy
and by his infidelity to herself. But
God made known her innocence by
a miracle; and her patience, and the
wonderful sweetness with which she
even cherished the children of her
rivals, completely won him from his
evil ways, and he became a devoted
husband and a truly Christian king
She built many charitable institutions
and religious houses, among others a
convent of Poor Clares. After he1
husbands death she wished to enter
their Order; but being dissuaded by
her people, who could not do without
her, she took the habit of the Third
Order of st. Francis, and spent the
rest of her life in redoubled austeri
ties and alms-giving. She died at the
age of sixty-five, while in the act Of
making peace between her children.

SICK CALLS.

A "sick CALI means sending for the
priest to attend to the religious needs
of the sick or dying. Those who are
in poor health are thus given an op-
portunity to comply with their rellg-
ious obligations, and the dying to re-
ceive the last consultations OF their
religion. The sick generally have
their confession heard and receive
Holy Communion if they so desire.
The dying in addition to confession,
are anointed with holy oil, receive
Holy Communion under the form OF
the Viaticum, and are given the last
blessing and plenary Indulgence.
These are what are commonly called
the ''last sacramento" The import
ance attached to these calls is so
great that, in most parishes, priest
is always assigned to such work.
When there is danger of death, and
many diseases are always dangerous,
notify the priest at once. Do not
wait till the evening. Do not call
at night, unless there is danger in
delay. Do not send child, if it can

to send 1t is always best to inform
the sick person of the priests coming,
but this should be done cautiously, at
least in some cases. He can then
prepare himself. The one who is not
prepared receives the sacraments in
a perfunctory manner and does not
derive so much fruit from them.
The one calling for the priest
should be able to give the sick per-
sons name and address, his age and
condition, also to state whether he
has been attended before, and what
sacraments he has received, if any,
and when. 1t is likewise important
for the priest to know whether he is
conscious, and, if attended by physi-
clan, what is his opinion of the sick
mans condition.
No one should speak to the priest
when he is going on a sick call, I'M
less the latter begins the converse
ton. He may be carrying the Blessed
Sacrament.
1t is not necessary to bless them
or call the priest for infants if they
are baptized, unless to read some
prayers over them. But it is neces-
sary if they have attained the use OF
reason, that is, about the age OF
seven or sometimes younger.

THE TRINITY IN THE TAPER.

Lo! the while the candle burns
On the altar fair to see,
To type the taper turns
Of the Blessed Trinity.
In the virgin wax we view
God the Father, God Creator,
In the wick, the Goldman true,
Saviour, Lord, and Mediator.
From the wax, the wick proceeds;
From the Father, living Might,
God the Son, the Word, proceeds,
Wisdom, perfect, infinite.
From the wax and wick together,
Flows the flame-procession meet!
From the glorious Son and Father,
Love proceeds, the Paraclete.
So, the while the candle burns
On the altar fair to see,
In the taper Faith discerns
Symbols of the Trinity.
Three in One, Oh! bark and hear it!
Wax and wick and fame decay;
But the Father, Son, and Spirit
Live, adored. and loved for aye!

IN THE SANCTUARY.

He is waiting, ever waiting,
Through the brightness of the day,
Through the sound of many footsteps,
And the clamor of the way;
From the first glad hours of morning,
To the solemn hush of noon,
Through the bleakness of December
And the sultriness of June.
He is waiting, ever waiting,
Through the stiffness of the night,
When the moon rides high in heaven
And the silent stars are bright;
Where the rose lamp burns forever,
Like guide to weary feet,
And the very silence murmurs;
"Wanderer, pause, the rest is
sweet"
He is waiting, ever waiting,
Through the days and months and
years,
He has peace for bruised spirits,
He has balm for bitter tears.
On the cross through death and an
guish
Once He made us all His own
Oh We thoughtless sons of, Adam,
Shall He wait and watch alone.

CHRISTOR DIANA

mo, no, Annie, | cannot" said old
Father Donovan, shaking his gray
head sadly. Il cannot give you any
encouragement under these conditions
l don't like to hurt you, my child,

Annie, dispensation could be pro-
cured without much trouble, because
you need help; you are an orphan all
alone in the world. But, Annie, my
child, think know you we'll enough;
you will be good girl and do what's
right in this matter, am sure"
Annie Morton frowned and answered
impatiently: But, Father, do be rea-
sonable. You know Howard Williams
as well as l. You know his record.
You will certainly not deny that he is
a gentleman. Besides, there is not the
slightest danger to my faith implied.
He always told me that he is glad
that am so religious. You know, too,
that there are hopes for his CONVEX

but, Annie, is there anything more
essential in home than unity?

it is but shadow of that hallowed

Besides, Annie, have very poor hopes

him for years, and l know that he
stands entirely under the sway of his

must know that, Annie, and as long
as his fortune is in jeopardy, Howard
Williams will not enter the church.
Now, do you think that man who
allows sucn considerations to separate
him from God will respect the convic-
lions of his wife, if they should stand
in the way of his success?
Annie could not conceal her embar-
rassment. Father she said, Il see

reason to do so. You know, Father
that I am all alone in the world. II

Then, Father, / think too much OF
him; a refusal is out of the question. 7
Annie, Annie, our faith is so prec.

said the old priest.

FIFTH SUNDAY AFTER
PENTEcosT.

EPISTLE: And who is he
that can hurt you, IT you be
jealous of good? But If also
you suffer anything for Justices
sake, blessed are we. And be
not afraid Of their fear, and be
not troubled: but sanctify the
Lord Christ in your hearts.
GOSPEL: If therefore thou
offer thy gift at the altar, and
there thou remember that thy
brother hath anything against
thee, leave there thy offering
before the altar, and go first to
be reconciIed to thy brother;
and then coming, thou shalt
offer thy gift.

PRIVATE AND SOLEMN BAPTISM

When Baptism is administered in
the home without any of the GUS
tomary ceremonies, it is called pri-
vate Baptism, and no sponsors are
necessary. Neither is it necessary to
give the child a name. When it is
given publicly in the Church, with all
the ceremonies, it is called solemn, and
one sponsor is required Two spon-
sors are allowed, but not more than
two, on account of the spiritual reIa-
tionship contracted
