PRAYER A CURE FOR INSOMNIA.

In an article in February's Every
body's Magazine, entitled "The Cure
of insomnia by Samuel McComb, D.
D., some very good things have been
written, particularly in regard to the
necessity of prayer and religion in
ones life to produce contentment and
an optimistic view of the journey
through this world to the next.
To quote verbatim: ITO the man
then, whose sleep is banished by wor-
ry, would say, at all costs get some
kind of faith, and live up to it."
Further on, in regard to prayer, he
writes: "And here I wish to lay en-
phasis on the power of prayer to pro-
duce sleep. Very notable are the
words which a distinguished English
expert in mental disorders addressed
a few years ago to the British asso-
citation: CAS- an alienist, I would state
that all the hygienic measures to coun-
teract disturbed sleep, depression of
spirits, and all the miserable sequels
of distressed mind, would undoubt-
eddy give the first place to the habit of
prayer" From a psychological point
of view we can see that in prayer there
is healing power, because it enables
us to escape from our narrow, bound
ed and despairing self, and lose our
selves in a larger, more confident,
more joyous self, and because, like all
confession, it acts as moral cathart-
ic and c1eanses the heart of the peril
Gus stuff that weighs upon it. From a
| philosophical point of view we may go
| further and say that as all experience
testifes, prayer brings us in contact
with those mighty healing forces with
which the universe is charged. The
man who can commit himself with
confidence to the Infinite as he retires
to rest will have little difficulty in
winning the most blessed, if also the
most mysterious, gift bestowed upon
humanity.
This certainly proves thinkers real.
lie that religion, with it's supplicating
prayers, is necessary in our lives in
order to produce wholesome, content
ed days laden with peace.
How many good Catholics through.
out the world close their eyes in sleep
with Jesus and Mary ON their lips, and
their rosary in their hand? AS we all
know Catholics are taught from child
hood days that prayer is a balm for
aching hearts and disappointments in
this uncertain world. But it does one
good to note that eminent personages
outside of the true faith recommend
prayer as a healing remedy for many
| ills

REVIEW YOUR cATEcHlsM.

r. O.. Cleaner, who is an interest
ing and able contributor to the
Catholic Columbian, recently made the
statement that "The little catechism
will tell more of the fundamental prin-
ciples upon which should be based
every effort for the amelioration of hui
mainly and the betterment of society
than can be found in the whole vast
library of modern publications on so
Geology" In reply to young man who
seemed to think this rather sweep
ing statement, it's author thus enlarges
upon the theme: IT would suggest to
the writer that he get the little cate
chism and peruse it and he can find
these fundamental principles. For in
stance: Man is creature composed
of body and SOUL The chief sources
of sin are seven: Pride, Covetous-
ness, Last, Ang r, Gluttony, Envy and
Sloth; and they are commonly called
Capital Sins The Ten Command
ments and what they command and
what they forbid: Seven Corporal
Works of Mercy; Seven Spiritual
Works of Mercy, etc. In a word ne
will find in that little book enough
to keep him thinking for while, If
he reads it carefully and thoroughly
and will be impressed with some very
plain and yet wholesome truths, one OF
which 10: What doth it profit man
if he gain the whole world and yet
suffer the loss of his soul?' The truth

SECRET OF HOLINESS.

Fidelity to God is permanent state
only when it takes in little things for
His sake with the fidelity due to Him
in great things. No one was ever
canonized for doing great things with
the ease of native greatness; but many
a saint is embalmed in eternal memory
by the divine testimony of miracles
for living a routine life with miracu-
lous fervor. The prime secret of holt
ness is how to do ordinary actions with
extraordinary love- The obvious ad
vantage of this doctrine, seldom known
till after the chagrin of many spiritual
disappointments, is that is makes the
vestibule of perfection common ground
for all, whether heroes or underlings
The daily life of all is the average
humdrum of the commonplace. No
other novitiate is open to the most
gifted, nor refused to the dullest souls.
Habit makes the man, and habit de-
ponds on constant succession of in
f1uences, but great events and heroic
calls are not constantly repeated, but
are rare. Little opportunities to be
good are always at hand, are naturally
successive, are systematically distrib-
uted everywhere, and systematically
blest. What is naturally present with
us daily and hourly, God makes super
natural and providential Habits of
virtue, like any other habits, must
come gradually and easily, or hardly
come at all. Happy is the Christian,
who, for the love of God, fixes his mind
on the Divine opportunities of home
and business, and loses none of them
for the practice of virtue. Happy the
Christian whose natural tendencies to
good, are insensibly made into super
naturel habits of virtue Req. Waiter
Elliott, c. S P, in Catholic World.

A SAINT FOR THE WEEK.
ST. PATRICK.

Towards the close of the fourth GEN.
fury, Patrick, young Christian of
Roman parentage, was tending sheep
as captive amidst the mountains of
Antrim and Down. His time was
wholly given to penance and prayer.
The Psalms of David and the most
beautiful hymns of the Church formed
his daily petitions; while the gift of
miracles marked his favor with Cod
At the age of twenty-one he was set
free, and, warned by a voice from
Heaven, dedicated himself to the con-
version of the Irish race. After TWEEN
ty years of training in the school of
powers from Pope Celestine, was con-
secrated Bishop, and sailed for the
Irish coast. The great result of his
sixty years preaching is known
throughout the world. He found Ire
land heather, and left it Christian. He
encountered the Druids at Tara, and
abolished their pagan rites. He con-
verted the warrior chiefs and princes,
and baptized them, with thousands of
their subjects, in the holy wells, which
still bear that name. Many youths and
maidens embraced the religious state,
and schools, converts, and churches
rose simultaneously throughout the
land. In the midst of this wonderful
success, st. Patrick's life was what IL
had always been-one of penance and
prayer, his humility increasing as he
drew near his end Full of works and
full of years the great missionary died
at Sabhull, in the county of Down
about the year 492. e
Ireland is the nursery whence Patrick
sent forth his missionaries and teach
ers. Glastonbury and Lindisfarne,
Ripon and Malmesbury, bear testi'
mony to the labors of Irish priests and
Bishops for the conversion of Eng
land. Iona is to this day the most ven
Grated spot in Scotland. Columbian
Fiarce, Gall, and many other evan
gelized the trough places" of France
and Switzerland. America and Aus
tralia, in modern times, owe then
Christianity to the faith and zeal OF
the sons and daughters of st. Pat
rick.

THE BLESSED SACRAMENT.

Many a time when a man is wild
with the questions, the doubts, the
despairs, the uncertainties and the
fears with which a view of life has
surrounded him-and which are bark
ing and baying at him as so many dogs
he goes, by instinct of grace, to the
Blessed Sacrament, and in a moment,
without effort on his part, all these
shrill voices are silent. His Lord is
with him, the waves are still, the
storm is abated and, not after further
voyage, but straightway he is at the
haven where he would be.

THIRD SUNDAY IN LENT.

EpistIe: You were heretofore
darkness; but now light In the
Lord. Walk, then, as children OF
the light; for the fruit of the
light is In all goodness, and JUS
tice, and truth.
Gospel: And 1t came to pass,
as he spoke these things, GER
tain woman from the crowd,
lifting up her voice, said to him,
Blessed is the womb that bore
thee, and the paps that gave
thee suck. But he said, Yea
rather, blessed are they who
hear the word of God, and keep
it.
The Catholic bulletin. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1911-1995, 1911-03-18

Christianity in a nutshell is simply:
Love thy God; love thy neighbour. =
We can only prove that we love God
by loving our neighbour While we
are commanded to fear God, main
tain that love is the most important
motive force in Christianity The
great difference in the religion is that
while the pagan feared and wor-
shipped his gods he did not love them.
They were too far away and too
vague. Christ, on the other hand, not
only loves and came to save the
world, but He loves every man and
every woman individually-He loves
each of you just as if you we're the
only person in the world. Cardinal
Gibbons
