THE LATIN LANGUAGE.

The Latin language is the official
language of the Catholic Church. The
use of a dead language is morally
necessary for the one true Church of
Jesus Christ. Local non-Catholic
denominations, whose creed, practice,
and government are subject to
change, do well in maintaining the
vernacular. Many cogent reasons, on
the other hand, may be advanced to
show the advantage of the Latin
tongue for the Catholic Church. In
the first place, the Catholic Church
is universal, or cosmopolitan. She
counts among her children people of
all nations, speaking all tongues.
The Church must not only commune
cate with her members, but also give
them the correct doctrine. For both
purposes Latin is most useful. Latin,
being dead language, retains the
exact meaning of it's words. 1t is
besides, an exact and polished Ian
guage. Latin, therefore, forms a safe
medium of exchange of thought not
only with other people of our day,
but also Apostolic ages.
Besides, as the one true Church OF
Christ, the Catholic Church must:
ID Preserve the original doctrine in
all its purity. (2) Under pain of null
lily she must use the proper form
in the administration of her sacra-
ments. CD To obtain clearness and
precision in her laws she must avoid
all ambiguity in her language In one
word, she must take every human
precaution to safeguard not only her
infallibility, but also her unity, cath
olicity and apostolicity. All these
ends are attained by the one true
Church when she adopts dead Ian
guage as her own.
At the time of the Apostles, Latin
and Greek were the languages OF

GRACE BEFORE AND AFTER
MEALS.

1t has been the custom among
Christians from the earliest times to
say grace before and after meals.
I'VE must pray before and after
meals.-St Chrysostom.
To omit grace, and that publicly
in the presence of Catholics and God
fearing people, is considered a mark
of righteousness and gross ingrati-
tude to God.
In saying grace one should stand
before the table, whilst pronouncing
the ordinary blessing or another
prayer, and distinctly and devoutly
bless oneself before sitting down. To
bless oneself whilst already seated is
a sign of carelessness and disrespect.
Should a priest be present at table,
he should be asked to pronounce the
blessing; if several ecclesiastics, the
one highest in dignity.
The Catholic bulletin. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1911-1995, 1911-08-19

the Empire Latin was most used in
the West and Greek in the East.
Thus Latin naturally became the Ian
guage of the Western and Greek of
the Eastern Church. After the EN-
pire had fallen, the Latin language
survived as the language of new
Rome. 1t is the Interchangeable medium
of Gods Interchangeable doctrine. 1t is
the safeguard of the Church in the
administration of the sacraments. 1t
enables her ministers to communicate
with one another in the remotest
parts of the earth. 1t enables them
to remain in close communion with
their spiritual head, Christs vicar on
earth.

A SAINT FOR THE WEEK.
ST. HYAciNTH.

Hyacinth, the glorious apostle of
Poland and Russia, was born of no
BILE parents in Poland, about the year
1885. In 1918, being already canon of
Cracow, he accompanied his uncle,
the bishop of that place, to Rome,
There he met st. Dominic, and re-
ceived the habit of the Friar Preach
ers from the patriarch himself, of
whom he became living copy. So
wonderful was his progress in virtue
that within year Dominic sent him
to preach and plant the Order in Po-
land, where he founded two houses.
His apostolic journeys extended over
Livonia, the shores of the Black Sea,
Tartary and Northern China on the
east, and Sweden and Norway to the
west, were evangelical by him, and
he is said to have visited Scotland.
Everywhere multitudes were convert
one hundred and twenty thousand pa
gans and infidels were baptised by
his hands. He worked numerous mir
acles, and at Cracow raised a dead
youth to life. He had inherited from
St. Dominic most filial confidence
in the Mother of God; to her he
ascribed his success, and to her aid
he looked for his salvation. When
st. Hyacinth was at Kiev, the Tartars
sacked the town, but it was only as
he finished Mass that he heard of the
danger. Without waiting to invest,
he took the ciborium in his hands,
and was leaving the church. AS he
passed by an image of Mary, a voice
said: 'Hyacinth, my son, why dost
thou leave me behind? Take me with
| thee, and leave me not to mine enc.
mics The statue was of heavy ala
baster; but when Hyacinth took it in
his arms it was as light as a reed.
With the Bessed Sacrament and the
image he came to the river Dnieper,
and walked dryshod over the surface
of the waters. On the ever of the AS
sumption he was warned of his com
| ing death. In spite of wasting fever
he celebrated Mass on the feast, and
communicated as a dying man. He
was anointed at the foot of the altar
and died the same day, A. D. 1857.

The day is bright, my step is light,

His glorious face to see.
Down where the lilies pale
Fringed the bright rivers brim,
In pastures green His steps were
Twas sweet to follow Him!
Oh, sweet to follow Him!
Lord, let me here abide.
The flowers were fair; I fingered

Before me lay the desert way
Twas hard to follow Him!
Yes! hard to follow Him
Into that dreary land!

Too heavy for my hand.

Sound thro' the night air chill;
My weary feet refused to meet
His coming DER the hill.
The Masters voice was sad:
Il gave My life for thee;

Thou hast not followed Me-
So fair the lilies banks,
So bleak the desert way:
The night was dark, could not mark
Where His blessed footsteps lay.
Fairer the lilied banks
Softer the grassy lea;
"The endless bliss of those who best
Have learned to follow Me!
Canst thou not follow Me?
Hath patient love power no more
To move thy faithless heart
Wilt thou not follow Me?
Those weary feet of Mine
Have stained, and red the pathway

In search of thee and thine"

Once more I follow Thee!
Let me abide so near Thy side
That I Thy face may see.
I clasp Thy pierced hand, &e

I'll bear Thy cross thro' pain and loss,
So let me cling to Thee.

REFORM AS AN INCENTIVE.
(Ohio state Journal.N


In speaking of the oregon reforms,
Professor Ford said they were nor %
important in the ends sought as n
the awakening of the people to their
responsibilities as citizens, in exciting
them to the study of public questions
and in watching with interest the
course OF their public servants. He
goes on to say:
our scheme of government in this
country is perverted and degraded
by a lot of fifteenth century policies.
which we have got to get rid of De-
fore we shall have decent govern
ment. We need to take the law into
our own hands, and that is what this
system aims at"
The system which he refers to is
the initiative and referendum, whose
greatest use is to arouse the people
to their own defense. 1t has become
common complaint ali over the
country that when a Legislature as
sembles it soon gets under the IN

the peoples wants. 1t meets the lob
by, confronts the Interests" and finds
a deal of logrolling going on, and
almost forgets there are any public
welfare or public treasures to watch.
This is not in advocacy of the inI-
ative or referendum. We would pre-
fer the representative form of govern
ment, but its virtue consists in the
public servant being faithful to the
people. When that is not the fact
almost anything else is better.

REAL WOMAN MOVEMENT.
(Ohio State Journal }


Mary Johnston, the author of 'To
Have and to Hold" made an address
for woman suffrage the other day, m
which she said:
Behind the general woman move
ment are vast forces and currents.
Ny own conviction is that perhaps the
deepest current is the eugenic cur
rent. l believe that nature wishes Il
chance for the superman. and that
woman is to be her chief instrument"
That is, that woman's demand for
political as well as natural rights is
in the interest of race improvement
to make better men, intellectually,
morally, physically, and to help nat
ure in the attainment of the highest
possibilities of mans destiny.
This is a high air, undoubtedly,
and commends the woman's move
ment. If that is one of the forces or
currents behind it. There is certain
ly needed a steady uplift of the intel
lectual and physical status of the
people, and there is not the leas'
doubt that the women are better
calculated to serve this purpose
than the men are. For its purity, ast
piration, mental and physical health
the race must depend, probably, Ior
the larger part of the achievement
upon the women.
If this eugenic current works itself
effectively as suggested by Mary
Johnston, it will do more good in
promoting the political hopes of the
women than any other influence.
