FEAST OF THE MOST PRECIOUS
BLOOD.

This is the flood that cleansed the
earth's foul guilt,
The precious rain that washed all
stain away!
Long had the race been pining for
this day
When on Golgotha's height for us
was split
This rich effusion from the urn uphill
of Jesus heart.
The world all sad and gray grew
joyful then, and round His lambs
at play
The sheltering fold of Christ's great
Church was built.
This food that like a mighty river
rolls,
Out from the Cross wherein the
Crucified
Hung for long hours the cynosure
of scorn;
Salvation brings to myriad sinful souls
And the red pillows of it's plenteous
tide
Shall wash and save the nations yet
unborn!

A SAINT FOR THE WEEK.
ST. JOHN THE BAPTIST.

1t was the Office of st. John the Bap'
fist to prepare the way for Christ and
before he was born into the world be
began to live for the Incarnate God
Even in the womb he was made aware
Of the presence of Jesus and of Mary
and he leaped with joy at the coming
of the Son of Man. In his youth he
remained hidden, because He for
whom he waited was hidden also. But
before Christ's public life began, a
divine impulse led st. John into the
desert; there, with locusts for his food
and haircloth on his skin, in silence
and in prayer, he chastened his own
soul. Then, as crowds broke in upon
his solitude, he warned them to flee
from the wrath to come, and gave
them the baptism of penance, while
they confessed their sins. At last
there stood in the crowd One whom
ST. John did not know, till voice told
him it was his Lord.
With His baptism at the hands Of
st. John, Christ began His penance
for the sins of His people, and st
John saw the Holy Ghost descend In
bodily form upon Him. Then the
Saints work was done. He had but
to point his own disciples to the Lamb
He had but to decrease as Christ in
creased. He saw all men leave him
and go after Christ. Il told you,' he
said, that l am not the Christ" The
friend of the bridegroom rejoiceth be
cause of the bridegroom's voice. This
my Joy therefore is fulfilled.
st. John was cast into the fortress
of Machaerus by worthless tyrant
Herod, whose crimes he had rebuked
and he remained there until he wa:
beheaded at the will of a girl wht
danced before this wretched king. II
this time of despair, if st. John could
have known despair, some of his ole
disciples visited him. st. John did no
speak to them of himself, but he sen
them also to Christ, that they Nigh
see the proofs of His mission. Thel
the Eternal Truth pronounced thu
panegyric of the Saint who had livet
and breathed for Him alone. "Amel
say to you, there hath not riser
among them that are born of womel
greater than John the Baptist"

The Vicar General

The Vicar-General was dead. With
his long, white hair smoothed back, he
lay upon silk pillow, his hands
clasped over chalice upon his breast
He was clad in priestly vestments;
and he looked, as he lay in his coffin
before the great altar with the candles
burning, as if he were just ready to
arise and begin new "Introibo" in
Heaven. The bells of the church
wherein the Vicar-GeneraI lay asleep
had called his people all the morning
in a sad and solemn tolling. The peo-
pie had come, as sad and solemn as
the bells. They were gathered about
the bier of their pastor. Priests from
far and near had chanted the Office
of the Dead; the Requiem Mass was
over, and the venerable chief of the
Vicar-General, the Bishop himself,
stood in cope and mitre, to give him
the last Absolution
General-had loved him as brother
For was it not the Vicar-General who
had hidden His Lordshop welcome,
when first he had come from his dis
tant parish to take up the cares of a
Diocese. With all the timidity of a
stranger, the Bishop had feared; but
the Vicar-General guided his steps
safely and we'll Now the Bishop, gaz.
ing at the white, venerable face, re.
membered-and wept. In the midst
of the Absoluton, his voice broke
Priests bit their lips, as their eyes
filled with hot tears; but the Sisters
who taught the parochial school and
their little charges, did not attempt to
keep back their sobs For more than
the Bishop loved the Vicar-General
| There was one standing by the cot
| fin, whom neither the Bishop, priests
nor the people saw. It was the Vicar
General, himself. He still wore his
priestly vestments. Was he not a
priest forever? His arms were folded
and his face was troubled. He knew
every one present; but none of them
knew that he was so near. He scan
ned the lines of the Bishops face and
seemed to wonder at his tears. He
was quite unmoved by the sorrow
around him; did not seem to care al
all. Yet in life the Vicar General had
Ecared much about the feelings of
others toward him. His eyes wan
dered over the great congregation and
rested on the children, but without
tenderness in them. This, too, was
very unlike the Vicar-General. Their

priestly form in the coffin, and the
trouble in them increased.

coffin was closed when the Vicar-Gen
