THE CONVERSION OF AMERICA.

In England they are praying con-
stantly for the conversion of England
to the true Faith, says the Mission
ary." These prayers for this specific
purpose have become part of the
devotional life of the people. On a
special Sunday in the month, by order
of the Hierarchy Litany is recited
after Benediction, so that the entire
Catholic people are cooperating in
the Mission work by their prayers.
Recently a solemn novena for the
conversion of England was finished in
the chapel of the Tyburn Convent.
This convent stands on the very spot
where so many English martyrs were
done to death, and as one of the
martyr-priests was yielding UP his
soul to God he saw in vision a home
of the Blessed Sacrament rising on
the spot where his blood was spilled.
This novena has become yearly oc-
currence, and it is always crowned by
notable conversions. The English peo-
pie pray for converts and the grace
of God captures many noble souls
by their prayers.
In America we probably work hard
er and spend more money, but it is
doubtful if we are praying with greater
devotion than the English people.
During the past few years the chorus
of prayers, has increased with ever
greater intensity, but though glori-
Gus start has been made in this way,
still it has not by any means stirred

THE ASSUMPTION OF THE
BLESSED VIRGIN.


Sing loud, sing strong, each Christian
heart;
Sing grand, the glories of thy
Queen,
For at her death earth had no part,
Since angels bore her hence I'M
seen.
Bore her away to Heaven above,
Where Jesus long before had gone;
And there she reigns in endless love
With Father, Son and Holy One.
On earth she watched DER all man
kind
Her Son had freely died to save;
Each one of us, from king to slave;
And helps us fight the fight of life
And triumph 'gainst what stops our
way;
Der sin and death, whate'er the
strife,
She is our help, our strength, our
stay.
But those she helps with double aid
Who on her power always call,
And saints they were, who often said,
Her faithful children cannot fall"
To her e'er be our fervent love,
Our hope in her will not be vain;
She'll bring us safe to God above,
And share with us her endless reign.
Rejoice, rejoice each faithful soul;
Look up to her, enthroned on high,
And Watch and Pray" you'll gain
the goal:
Heaven awaits you when you die.
She followed in the wake of Christ,
And keeps for all the gates aside;
With God she is enthroned in light,
Loved daughter, mother, spotless
bride.

A SAINT FOR THE WEEK.
ST. CAJETAN.

.Cajetan was born at Vicenza in 1880,
of noble and pious parents, who dedi-
Gated him to our Blessed Lady. From
childhood he was known as the Saint,
and in later years as "The hunter of
SOULS A distinguished student, he
left his native town to seek obscurity
in Rome, but was there forced to &C.
cept Office at the court of Julius II.
On the death of that Pontiff he re-
turned to Vicenza, and disguised his
relatives by joining the Confraternity
of st. Jerome, whose members were
drawn from the lowest classes; while
he spent his fortune in building hos
pitfalls, and himself in nursing the
plague-stricken. To renew the lives
Of the clergy, he instituted the first
community of Regular Clerks, known
as Theatines. They devoted them
selves to preaching, the administra-
ton of the Sacramento, and the care
full performance of the Church's rites
and ceremonies. ST.. Cajetan was the
first to introduce the Forty Hours
alteration of the Blessed Sacrament,
as an antidote to the heresy of Cal
vim. He had a most tender love of our
Blessed Lady, and his piety was re-
warded. One Christmas eve she
placed the Infant Jesus in his arms,
and she appeared to console him as
he died. When the Germans, under
the Constable Bourbon, sacked Rome,
st. Cajetan was barbarously scourged,
to extort from him riches which he
had long before securely stored in
heaven. Worn out with toll and sick
ness, he went to his reward in 1547.
When St. Cajetan was on his death
bed, resigned to the will of God, eager
for pain to satisfy his love, and for
death to attain to life, he beheld the
Mother of God, radiant with splendor,
and surrounded by ministering Sera-
phim. In profound veneration he
said: Lady, bless me- Mary re-
piled: "Cajetan, receive the blessing
of my Son, and know that l am here
as reward for the sincerity of your
love, and to lead you to Paradise"
She then exhorted him to patience in
fighting an evil spirit who troubled
him, and gave orders to the choirs of
angels to escort his soul in triumph
to Heaven. Then turning her coun-
tenance full of majesty and sweetness
upon him, she said: 'Cajetan, my Son
calls thee. Let us go in peace"

OUR LADY's GROWING GLORY.

We delight to recall the various
incidents in the life of the Blessed
Virgin. Her Immaculate Conception,
her Nativity, her Presentation in the
Temple, the Annunciation, then Beth
lehem, where she gave birth to the
Son of the Most High, the home of
Nazareth, the part she took in her
divine Sons private and public life,
eliminating in His death upon the
crossA are one and all subjects of the
greatest interest to us, says Bishop
Cotton, and we ponder over them with
reverent feelings of awe intermingled
with delight and fear, joy and sor-
row, according to the scenes and cir
cumstances they recall, but the Feast
of the Assumption, as the GROWING
glory of our Blessed Lady's life and
the climax of all the feasts that pre-
cede it, engages our thoughts and af-
fections in SURPRISING degree.
The Assumption is the counterpart
of the Immaculate Conception of the
Blessed Virgin, and both feasts, COM
memorating as they do the beginning
and the end of her glorious life, fill
every true Catholic heart with over
flowing joy. So let us all rejoice
every fifteenth day of August and hail
our Blessed Lady on it with senti-
ments of true filial affection. AS we
say of our Divine Lord, His glory is
our glory, the same we may say of
our Blessed Lady. For as He is our
brother and has shared with us His
glory, since when He assembled into
Heaven He said, "He would prepare a
place for u.s." so the Assumption of
the Blessed Virgin means share for
us in her glory, as she is our glorious
Mother. How happy the outlook for
all who, by their pure, holy lives, are
proving themselves sons of God and
heirs to His kingdom and are show
ing to the world that they are, indeed,
the children of Mary the Immaculate
Mother of God. Let us be of this illus
trious number. We will, indeed, be
among them if we cultivate as we
should a tender love of the Blessed
Virgin, and nothing will keep up to
this more than to behold her highest
among the heavenly throng of saints
and angels, next to the Holy Trinity
in power, in splendor and in glory.

THE HOUR OF VICTORY

Excitement ran high at Davis Acad-
envy, for the names of the pupils for
tunate enough to be allowed to enter
the contest for the Davis scholarship
were to be read today. Only those
having an average of eighty per cent
for the four years work in the acad-
envy were allowed to compete. Mr..
Davis, the donor of the scholarship,
had made that condition. The scholar
ship provided not only for four years
tuition in any college or technical
school of the winners choosing, but
also for necessary living expenses.
"Of course, Coulson will get first
place; he'll win sure said John Hart
ley, president of the senior class. Il
hope get on the list, though. My
folks will be pleased, and it means
honorable mention"
The names were read, beginning
with the lowest allowed. John Hart
ley's was called, and he could scarcely
disguise his delight. He was on the
list.
1.-THE last average was eighty-f1ve
per cent. Now there is Jump from
eighty-lve per cent to ninety per cent,
which is first place" All eyes turned
to Coulson. "And for first place there
are two contestants, George Coulson
and Joseph Darcy"
A murmur of surprise went about
the room. Joe Darcy!" AS a posi-
BILE candidate he might have chance,
but as for his winning first place, no
one had dreamed of such thing.
Perhaps the least surprised was Joe
himself. He knew his own standing,
his abilities and his limitations very
well, and day by day, year by year, he
had worked faithfully to obtain this
reward.
His teachers had noted that Joseph
Darcy never failed in any kind of re-
view. But he was slow of thought
| and slow of speech, and his classmate,
fGeorge Coulson, who was quick to
grasp, often profited from Darcy
hours of patient labor by suddenly
| jumping at a conclusion and taking
the honor which did not belong to him
Again and again he had done this
Joe never could understand just how
In his heart he knew that Coulson was
an adept at blufing, but the bluff al
ways succeeded. Now, for once, they
stood equal.
| The theme was assigned, "Chiyalry,'
and the pupils were allowed three

to come into the class without notes
