THE HOLY NAME SOCIETY FOR
BOYS.

We must deplore the fact that many
boys at very early age begin to use
unbecoming language. Unfortunately,
they hear vulgar and profane language
from larger boys at school, from men
on the street, and not unfrequently
from their own fathers at home. Old
heads are not found on young Shout
ders, and we cannot expect young
boys to appreciate, as they will in
their maturer years, how vulgar, un-
manly and sinful it is to use profane
and indecent language. An ounce Of
prevention is worth a pound of cure
From experience we know the value
of this principle to boys in reference
to profanity and unbecoming language.
Every boy wishes to be considered a
little man, and the man of the crowd
is the leader among his boy associates.
It is very easy matter to convince
boys that it is unmanly to swear or
to use bad words. Prevent our boys
and young men from ever contracting
the habit of profanity, and as the
future men of our community they will
not De prorane.
Let the boys join the Holy Name
Society on the day they make their
First Communion. 1t is preferable
that they have their own meetings
apart from the men, have their own
officers, etc. The meeting for the
young boys can take place weekly at
the same hour that the Sunday-school
is held. In some places where the
Spiritual Director cannot give the So
ciety his personal attention, Sister
or Brother of the parochial school, is
present at the meetings and gives the
boys an instruction of twenty minutes
or a half-hour in Christian Doctrine.
Another half-hour is sufficient to say
the Office and to finish the business
matters of the Society. The boys are
more enthusiastic wherever the plan
has been adopted Within a few
weeks public spirit is formed among
the boys not to use unbecoming lam
guage in any form.
Another great advantage is that the
boys are trained for years with the
idea that it is their duty to pass into
the Senior Holy Name Society. They
look forward to the day when they
will be Holy Name men. Thus there
is no interval in their lives when they
are free from the religious influence
OF a Church Society.

pulpit before he does more harm than
good to the people of his charge.
Take the great Catholic Church, to.
day. 1t never condescends to sensa-
tionalism nor to theatrical methods to
catch the passing crowd. 1t breaches
that true repentance must precede the
forgiveness of sin. It teaches that a
clean and pure life is better than all
else. It's priests are teachers of God
and are not afraid nor ashamed to
mingle with the poorest, lowliest, nor
most God-forsaken man or woman.
Their sermons are not tinctured with
doubts or skepticism. They have their
beliefs and in many respects their be-
liefs and ours as Professionals differ in
means of reaching results, but you
never see Catholic church empty, nor
it's doors closed for lack of worship
pers.
They take their children when
young and impressionable and they
seek to implant and do implant in their
minds the living truth that Jesus
Christ died for their salvation, and
they train them up to love their
church, to sustain it's worship, and to
share their last penny, if needs be, in
support of their religion. The result
is a steady growth to the Church, be-
cause every home is nursery to the
Church, and every child has long.

instilled in it's heart, that such child
cannot be kept away from the Church

worship it so thoroughly believes.

THE CHURCH AND SYMBOLS.

The church is profuse in the use of
symbols. They form it's most eloquent
expressions. The dove reminds us Of
the Holy Ghost, the lamb and the peli-
can recall the mysteries of the Incar-
nation and sacrifice. The lily speaks
of purity The ship or the ark is the
emblem of the Church. No emblem is
so expressive of love as the figure of
the Sacred Heart. When our eyes fall
upon that symbol, circled by thorny
crown, with blood drops falling from
it's cloven center, and flames shooting
from it's top, the mind is at once
brought into contact with the Passion
and Death of Jesus Christ. This pic
tured heart is the summary of Di-
vine life's devotion and charity. But
the figure of the Sacred Heart is more
than symbol of Jesus love. 1t is the
symbol of the instrument and organ
whence that love was displayed. It
serves to bring us into contact with
the Eternal Word, for it is the symbol
of the real Heart of God, Heart
that lives still, loves and pours out
love increasingly. AS Jesus saw with
His eyes and heard with His ears, so
He loved with His Heart. That Heart
would have had no existence if it was
not united hypostatically with the per-
son of the Eternal Word. The love of
God resides in and acts in the living
Heart which the Second Person of the
August Trinity assumed when He took
a body and soul like ours. All that
Jesus Christ did for man had origin
in His infinite love, and His Human
Heart, made divine by hypostatic un-
ion, was the organ and instrument
through which that infinite love found
and finds outflow.

THE PRECIOUS BLOOD.


On the feast of the Sacred Heart,
1899, the whole world was consecrated
to Our Lords Sacred Heart. To Him
was given back again His empire. He
was proclaimed once more King of
earth as he is King Of heaven, and
acknowledged and accepted as such,
at least by the Catholic people. But
all this proposed love and union can
only be effected and made lasting by
the sacred cement of His Precious
Blood, and for this reason, after honor
ing and loving the Sacred Heart, in
turn we are asked by the Holy Church
to make our homage effective and
complete by cultivating a reverence
and love for the mystery of Our Lords
most Precious Blood This is the
stream that flowed from the Sacred
Heart on Calvary's mount and washed
the souls of men. This is the stream
that mysticaIIy flows from every
Christian altar and which gives life
and publication to all that come with
in it's reach. 1t is the life of every
grace, the power of every blessing.
1t is the vivifying stream that falls
upon the soul as the choicest dews of
heaven to renew in us virtue and limo
cence and to keep us strong and pro-
gressive in the supernatural life. Let
us drink and drink often at it's fount
in Holy Communion. It is there for
us to partake of as often as we will.
Oh, if we avail ourselves of our happy
privilege how great will be the
strength to our souls! Our life will
be renewed in the life of our divine
Lord. We shall have the corrective
which our blood polluted by sin re-
quires, for the Blood of Christ, the
Immaculate Lamb, will be coursing
our veins, and will be purifying us
and making us acceptable to God the
Father in heaven. We will, indeed
be His sons by grace as well as by
nature, and rs such be leading lives
nearer heaven than to earth. All this
may be ours through the Precious
Blood.

RELIGION IN MEXICO NOT A NAME
ONLY.

THE Mexican Herald" mentions a
circumstance that shows clearly
enough that religion in Mexico is not
name, but a living reality, even
among people of rank and fashion,
says the Philadelphia Standard and
Times To pray to the Virgin of Quad
alupe that trouble may cease and the
revolution come to speedy end, a
large number of the leading society
women of the Mexican capital went to
the famous chapel on the hill just at
sunrise Two special trains carried
the ladies to the pretty suburb, and
brought them back after their devo-
tons had been completed. Pilgrim
ages to the shrine of Guadalupe have
been common in the Valley of Mexico
ever since the banner of the Roman
Catholic Church first f1oated over it's
fields and lakes, yet this was probably
one of the most distinguished parties
that ever made the trip. Earnestly
they sought the shrine, and there
poured forth their supplications that
trouble might pass out of the land and
peace reign from the north to the
south and between the two seas
Peace is now near at hand, according
to the latest advices from the Rio
Grande, and we must conclude that ii
is, at all events, a striking coinci
dence, as we'll as a convincing piece
of testimony to the whole-hearted
piety and reliant belief of the women
of Catholic Mexico.

never seen in life. It shimmered like
silk, shone like gold and sparkled as

and beautiful, over his shoulders. His
lace seemed to shine out of it, like a
jewel in gold setting. His limbs

only something which gave the i'm

remove his eyes from the other Grad
ually he knew that he was gazing at
an Angel, and an Angel who had in
innate relation to himself
The body was borne out of the
church. The Angel moved to follow,
and the Vicar-General knew that he al
so had to go. The day was perfect,
for it was in the full glory of the sum-
mer; but the Vicar-General noticed lit
tie of either the day or the gathering.
He had lost all interest in what was
to follow. The Angel did not speak;
but his eyes said Come: and so the
Vicar-General followed-where he did
not know.
The Vicar General was not sure that
1t was even place to which the Angel
led him; but he felt with increas-
ing trouble that he was to be the CEN
ter of some momentous event. There
were people arriving, most of whom the
Vicar-General kneW-men and women
Of his flock, to whom he had minis
tered and many of whom he had seen
die. They all smiled at the Vicar-Gen-
eral as they passed, and ranged them
selves on one side. The Silent Angel
stood very close to the Vicar-General.
AS the people came near, the priest
felt his vestments grow light upon
as If they were lifting him in the air.
They shone very brightly, too, and
took on a new beauty. The Vicar
General felt glad that he was wear

The Silent Angel looked at him, but
spoke not word; yet the Vicar-Gen-

that he was to answer at judgment.

ministered, to whom he had broken

were! They gladdened the Vicar-Gen-
erals heart There were his converts,
the children he had baptized, his peni-
tents, the pure virgins whose VOWS he
had consecrated to God, the youths

General counted them, and he could
not think of a single one that was mis-
sing.
On the other side, witnesses began
to arrive and the Vicar-Generals look
of trouble returned. He felt his priest
ly vestments becoming heavy. Espe
cial1y did he feel the weight of the
amice, which was like a heavy iron
helmet cruched down over his shout

scarcely move for it. The maniple
rendered his left arm almost power
less. The stole was pulling at him
and the weight of the chasuble made
him very faint.

WORSHIP OF MAMMoN.

Mammon is made the God of wor-
ship in many churches and the true
and living God-the God of the fathers
and of the mothers of the past, is too
often overshadowed in public worship
by makeshift theory, and the advocacy
of teachings that are making atheists
of the people and upsetting the germ
of implanted, honest beliefs. When a
preacher is himself in doubt as to the
truth of what he is called upon to

WOULD-BE DESPERADO
 SHOT BY POLICEMAN

Chattanooga, Tenn, January 20-Ac- cording to a dispatch, Dalton, Ga, was thrown into state of terror last night by Horan Springfield armed with Colts revolver and a Winchester rife running amuck on the main thoroughfare. Spring field fired shots at two boys. He then had a duel with Policeman Manus, who shot Springfield in the thigh Springfield rushed to his home and secured his rifle. He gave orders to merchants to turn off the lights and a majority obeyed. It was only a short time before the streets were cleared. It seemed that Sprngfied's de- sire was to shoot down the officers, for in several instances he held people at the point of his rife and learning they were not policemen told them to move on. He took a stand in front of the Gregory drug store and dared the police to arrest him. Chief of Police Fincher was notified and went to the scene.
 As the chief approached Springfield raised his rife and drawing sight on the officer, pulled the trigger. His weap- on failed to respond and before he could eject the defective cartridge Chief Finch CT had discharged a shotgun, the entire load entering Springfeld's groin and he fell badly wounded.

WHEAT DECLINES ON
 POOR FLOUR TRADE
Minneapolis Mills Will Shut

MARKET IS VERY ACTIVE
cline But Part of It Is Recovered. Oats and Provisions Also
 Close Lower

Chicago, January 20.-Wheat had a bad slump late in the session today. The cause was selling by important interests and was simultaneous with announcement that by tonight 50 per cent of the flour mills at Minneapolis would be shut down on account of poor trade. Closing prices were 1401ssc to ssc net higher
 Corn compared with last night, finished shade off to Ac up; oats unchanged to 1-16c down, and hog products at 1oc to 271aGD30c decline.
 There was more than the usual amount of activity in wheat. The tendency was toward strength early in the day, but when the break came offerings seemed to pour in from every direction. Advices from Minneapolis, where the market had been relatively weak all day, told of mills having ceased to grind and of others to take similar action before tomorrow Dull ness of demand everywhere was the req son assigned. The early strength here at Liverpool, due to buying on the part Of large house there. However, wagld shipments promised to be heavy indicat- ing that the new crop movement from Australia and the Argentine was on in earnest.
 Although the call for cash wheat here had dwndled to nothing, the future mar ket nevertheless showed no sign of col lapse until the last half hour. Some re- action took place later, but the final tone was weak and near the bottom prices reacted May ranged from $1 .OO1s@1 .OOA to $1 .01&, closing 1sc net lower al s1 .00as.
 Heavy selling of corn by the country for February shipment here turned the market weak for that cereal The sea- board reported foreign bids were below workable limits. May fluctuations ran from 5oc to 5Ossd5O1ac, with last sales a shade off at 50@50isc. Cash corn was higher early, but later weak. No. 2 yell low closed at 47A@471ac.
 Oats seemed inclined to follow the mod crate changes in corn rather than the wider changes of wheat Support came mostly from shorts. May varied from 345sc to 35c and in the end was 34%c, just the same as "A hours previous.
 Provisions weakened on account of a decline in hogs Numerous stop-loss or ders were reached. The days trade left pork 10c to 271a@3oc off, with lard and ribs down 1211c to 15c.

 Good Demand

New York, January 20.-The stock mar ket today opened with an irregular and lower tendency, made some recovery, sold back again, relapsed into stagnation and in the final hour recovered the larger part of its losses and made not few substantial gains. The days operations, both as to stocks and bends, were of comparatively small proportions.
 A majority of the standard issues gave a fairly good account of themselves with some backwardness, however, in United States Steel, Union Pacific, Canadian Pa cific and Norfolk and Western. United States Steel preferred was an active is sue with a smart advance on the day The coal shares, Southern Pacific, St. Paul, Hill issues and Southern railway common and preferred were the features of strength in the railway group, while the metal stocks and gas and telephone issues held much of their gains of the carly week.
 News of the day was without material influence on the markets.
 The strength of American Smelling and other copper stocks was attended by cir cumstantial reports of better demand for copper metal but these were accept ed with some reservation in view of ad- vices received by impartial authorities, which offer little encouragement for the immediate outlook in that industry.
 London's participation in this market was nominal and a mixture of purchases and sales Markets were heavy in Lon don, with no change in monetary condi- tions. Private advices from London in- dicated that some new financing by Amer ican railroads is under consideration there.
 Aside from greater ease, the local money situation was featureless today and to- morrow's bank statement is likely to show another large cash gain
 Bankers representing the Hartman in- terests declined to discuss the recurrent reports of new financing by the Southern Pacific.
 Advices from Philadelphia state that the Reading company is arranging for the sale of S2OOO0, GOO of it's general mortgage per cent bonds to take up practically an equal amount of consolidated per cent bonds falling due next June.

BULL SUPPORT IS POOR

New York, January 20.-The cotton mar ket was very quiet today but ruled gen. orally steady and became a little more active In the last half hour on bullish pri- vate ginning reports with the close very steady, net unchanged to points higher.
 The opening was steady at a decline of 1 to points and active positions sold about to points net lower during the first few minutes in sympathy with dis appointing cables and private Liverpool advices claiming a less active trade in Manchester. The big trade interests, whose recent buying of the near months had been a sustaining factor, appeared to be giving the market no support this morning but offerings were restricted by the bullish character of southern spot market advices and persistent rumors that leading bullish operators were in control of May contracts at New Orleans.
 At any rate there was little or no az gressive selling and the market during the middle of the day ruled within two or three points of last nights finals. Later there was covering and a little fresh buying on long account from Dallas that gnners over the belt appeared only 125,O0o bales, compared with 14O.0O0 bales for the same period last year. The market closed within point of the best.
 The advance late in the day was en- couraged also by the continued large exports, the days clearness exceeding the port receipts by about 13.000 bales, while, so far for the season exports have been 1,139,000 bales larger than last year, and the into sight to date shows an excess over last season of about 1,356,0 GOO bales. Spinners' takings for the week were larger than last year and the visible sup ply of American cotton showed de- crease of about 65OOO bales for the week. with 55, 000 for the same week a year ago.
 Spots markets were unchanged to 1-16c higher.
 Receipts at the ports today 49,120 bales, against 32,12 last week and 24,775 last year For the week 215.00O bales, against 253,039 last week and 135, 423 last year.
