Confessing ones Sins.

Perhaps you have seen people 60
ing to confession in church on a Sat
urday evening and you have noticed
how quickly sinners are dispatched 1t
is the work of two or three minutes
and absolution is granted, and the
penitent leaves the confession box
with a light heart and radiant face.
1t appears more than easy to throw
off a load of sin, and the be free for
new harvest.
1t is true that the change wrought
in confession is quickly effected. A
long life Of sin is blotted out in an
instant. In fact, the marvellous works
of God are brief in space as they are
wonderful in effect
HE spoke, and there was light"
His divine plans are accomplished in
silence; for He is not in the whirl-
wind nor in the storm, but in the gen
tie breeze. The greatest event in all
history, the Incarnation of the IIter-
nal Son, takes place in an obscure
country with the knowledge of one
single human being. our Immaculate
Lady. He enters the world at mid
night, when nature is in it's deepest
quiet; and the world hushed in slum-
Der; then He is born of Mary, in the
stable of Bethlehem. And while on
earth, behold, how quickly He per-
forms His great deeds of mercy! One
loving word cleanses the Sustained
heart of Mary Magdalen; one step
brings salvation into the house of
Zachaeus; one nerciful look converts
the heart of the unfaithful Peter.
Thus two brief acts only are requis.
lite and sufficient to insure the sinners
forgiveness; an act of clemency and
condescension of God, reaching down
to the sinner, and an act of sorrow
and humiliation on the part of the
sinner, leading up to God. It is an
easy way to obtain forgiveness; its
institution is worthy of the merciful
Master Notice, however, though the
act of confessing and absolvins may
be brief, the work of preparation for
confession covers some time.
And yet confession does not smooth
the road to sin nor is it license for
it or an encouragement to commit it.
1t is absolutely impossible that con-
fession should make sin easy or fos-
ter vice. Confession is the ordinance
Of the Blessed Savior who came to
destroy sin. and not to open the door
| for it. If sinner rids himself of a
heavy load of sins by single con-
fession 1t is because he detests them
and is firmly determined not to COM
nit them again. He knows that he
cannot presume on divine mercy, say
ing to himself: 1t matters little wheth.
er l fall back into the same sins; I
can come to confession again. His
next mortal sin may be his last one.
He is aware that his life hangs on a
thread, and if he falls again God may
cut that thread before he has time
and grace to repent and confess.
| Far from being an incentive to sin.
confession is the best moral check
upon the human conscience, as it re.
minds man of his sacred obligations
to his Maker and gives him self
knowledge and sense of humility.
Confession is the fruit of Christ's

At an informal meeting of the base

Is it any wonder that the race
of men who have learned to sacri-
flee day by day for the safety Of
these women and children should die
with courage and resignation when
the crisis appears? The Building

to do with intoxicating this practical
ideal and making all men alike in the
presence of the threatened family

This is Ny Creed.

''s
This is my creed,
This is my deed:
Hide not thy heart"
Soon we depart;
Mortals are all;
A breath, then the pail;
A flash in the dark
Ais done-stiff and stark.
No time for a lie;
The truth, and then die.
Hide not thy heart!
Forth. with thy thought,
Soon twill be nought,
And then in thy tomb.
Now is air, now is room,
Down with false shame;
Reck not of fame;
Dread no mans spite;
Quench not thy light,
This be thy creed,
This be thy deed:
Hide not thy heart"
If God is, He made
Sunshine and shade,
Heaven and hell.
This we know well.
Dost thou believe?
Do not deceive;
Scorn not thy faith
If tbs a wrath
Soon it will fly.
Thou who must die,
Hide not thy heart.

This is my creed,
This is my deed:
shall speak out,
And hide not my heart.
