TIE CORRECT WAY TO RECEIVE
HOLY COMMUNION.

The following instructions for COM
municants are given in a prayer book
for children, written by Rev. Felix
O'Neill of, the Diocese of Hartford.
They can be read with profit by many
adults who seem never to have learned
the correct way to receive Holy Com
munion from the hands of the priest:
While at the sanctuary rail, hold
the head erect. Keep it perfectly
still during the moment the priest
extends the Blessed Sacrament to-
ward you. Do not move the face
one inch forward, to meet the priests
hand half way, as too many do. A
moving face worries the priest terri
bly,, lest he may drop the Host. The
more you keep your head as still
as statue, the more respectfully you
receive Open the mouth moderate
ly. Extend the tongue so as to cover
the lower lip completely. The priest
does not wish to push the Sacred
Host into an open mouth. He wishes
to lay it fiat on the tongue and press
it down gently with his thumb, lest
it may fall off when you draw it
in.
After he has placed the Host on the
tongue do not instantly bow the
head, and hit his hand with your hat
as many girls and women do. Give
him time to pass to the next
communicate before you do any bow
ing As bad as moving faces are,

A SAINT FOR THE WEEK.
q. BENEDICT JOSEPH.

B. Benedict Joseph Labre was born
at Annette in the Diocese of Boulogne,
in the year 174S. After an unsuccess-
full trial of the religious life, when
twenty-five years old, he abandoned,
at the call of God, his country and
parental home, and, renouncing all
further communication with his rela-
tives, spent the remainder of his days
as a poor beggar, either in visiting
the chief shrines of Italy and Spain,
or in praying for long hours together
in the sanctuaries of Rome. His
clothing was few scanty rags; his
bed the ground; the food of his choice,
such refuse as he might pick up. If
aims were forced upon him, he gave
them to the poor. He crucified his
senses by continual modification. He
never looked at the curiosities of the
cities through which he passed. He
spoke little, and only when necessity
or charity required it. Nothing could
exceed his low esteem of himself. A
word of praise made him shudder,
while insults and blows were delic-
ious to him. His prayer was almost
unbroken. He was most devout to the
Blessed Sacrament, so as to be called
"The poor man of the Forty Hours"
His love of Mary was so great, that
the words, 20 Mary, o my Mother"
would often burst from his lips. God
favored him with gifts of prophecy
and miracles. He died at Rome on
Wednesday in Holy Week, A. D. 1888.

THE TRIUMPH

Wnen maurice Anern QleQ OF pneu-
monia shortly after Christmas, he
left a. widow and young son behind
him. One would say Mrs. Ahern was
fifty and young Maurice fourteen.
They were well off enough while the
elder Maurice lived: but God took
him, and then the two had to make
out for themselves.
Shortly after the funeral Mrs. Ahern
went up to the Great House" to see
the MASTER Sir Robert Ferendale.
Her husband had been his sheep-ten-
der-shepherd in pastoral phrase
and she wanted to know if she could
still keep her little house and tend
the sheep. The 'Masther" was not
such bad man, but his sheep must
be thought Of
r. "My good woman, I should like to
help you. for your husband was faith
full servant; but surely you can not
take care of all my Sheep"
"Your honor, 1 am not manin' my
self, but the little boy"
"Your little boy take care of my
sheep? In the washing season, In
the shearing season? In the yeaning
season? And the old sheep to be sold
| off? And the new ones to replace
them? Impossible! Your son is the
merest child"
Eyes; but, your honor, he used to
be about with his father great deal
NORM an evenin' when he was home
from school, an, he does be very
knowledgeable.
Mrs. Ahern, | really am afraid to
trust my sheep to so young boy"
''Wisha, couldn't your honor give
him thrial? Your honor wouldn't
lose much by that"
VERY well, my good woman; I'll
give him trial." the man of acres
and sheep replied promptly, knowing
very well he could not lose much in
the brief space of six or seven days.
The mother brought home the good
news, saying, as she hung up her win.
ter shawl:
Maurice, agra, the work is hard an
you must be up early an late. But
you'll have three sthrong min to help
you as your father-God rest him!-
had before you. An you know more
about the sheep than they think you
do. An God, who left you without q
father, will give you His hand to
guide an help you"
/ But little Maurice had high hopes
for day ahead; and the prospect Of
sheeptending in cold and heat, wet
and dry, early and late, scattered his
hopes like chaff in the wind. He
wanted to go to college-he did moi
know when or how-to study law, anG
then to be an attorney, and later 6
councillor. He had a schoolmastel
who rose above the birch and the beat
ing system of those days, and spoke
to him in kindly, human way. AL
of them are risen above the system
now. But one must praise the mar
who is ahead of his time; for his high
is light unto others, and opens path
ways to fairer vistas.
Maurice was a sensible lad, how
ever, and took the present for wha
it gave, and let the future wait .ol
him away in the years. He was al
ready in the second stage of sixth
class in the national schools, eant
spoke English with remarkable accu
racy.
Mother, I was thinking of some
thing else for myself, but see must
put that by for the present. Tomor
row morning I'll begin tending the
sheep; and, as have a little time
now, I want to see Mr.. Crimmins, the
teacher, after school is let out"

WHY DO CATHOLICS BUILD
SCHOOLS?

Turn now to the self-sacrifcing eff
forts of the Church. Why do we
build schools? We build them because
we love our country, and because we
love our children, writes Rev. John
H. O'Rourke, S. J. We are convinced
that we cannot grow as nation with
a healthy growth without religion.
No nation has in the history of the
world. Greece, Rome, Assyria all had
religion. It was false, but there
were elements of truth even in the
false. Washington himself has said
props of the country. Mere knowledge
leads to rather than restraints from
crime, as I have already pointed out,
hence the insistence of the Church on
the religion element in education.
We cannot get that in the public
schools, so at tremendous sacrifice we
build our own schools.
But this school is also an evidence
of the love we have for our children.
We believe our children have double
life to lead one of the body, one of the
soul-a life in time and life in
vital interests, their all-important OBJ
| ject and aim in life is to prepare for
eternity. We are still old-fashioned
enough to believe in God, in the soul,
in Immortality. We believe that the
eternal destiny of our children is un-
speakably above their interests in this
life. Therefore in our plan of educa-
ton we make every effort to fit them
for that destiny. While not neglect
ing their mental training, it is our aim
to form and school their will and their
heart, to so form and strengthen char
acter that in the days when the blood
is hot and passion runs riot, when
gold glitters and ambition urges on to
deeds of dishonor and dishonesty,
they will stand as firm as the rock
against which wind and wave beat in
vain. Yes, we sharpen the wits, cul-
tivate the mind, but we never forget
to stouten and strengthen the will and
the heart. We never forget that the
souls of the children committed to
our schools are spriceless beyond the
telling and redeemed by the blood of
Christ-made not, for the transitory
things of time, but for the everlast-
ing joys of heaven.
The Greatest Mark of Love.
For this we sacrifice not only our
. h1rf fhot which ic
IDLY dearer: we sacrifice our flesh
and blood What is the sacrifice of
money compared to the sacrifice
which that poor laboring man makes
who allows his fair, beautiful daugh-
ter, as black-garbed nun, to devote
herself to the cause of education? It
is hard to give money, no easy thing
to part with the yellow gold and white
silver for education, but, oh, to part
with that child, with the brightness
of his home, the pulse of his heart
to separate from his own flesh and
blood for the sake of education: here
is a sacrifice that is divine. There is
United States to satisfy for the loss
: of that child from that home, and yet
the father gives her his blessing when
she leaves home and kindred to de
vote her life to days and years of toll
to the cause of Catholic education
, It is the greatest mark of love to give
our life for friend or for cause
and this is done yearly in thousands
of Catholic homes. What system or
Gods earth can compare with that?"

adopted by Chairman Elihu Root. The
vote stood:
| Not voting Observation-Disclosures. .343
| Against .................. %
| For 666
The La Toilette platform had previ-
Cusly been tabled.
There was an outburst of cheering
when the total Roosevelt strength
was announced as 343, the number OF
| delegates not voting, but a greater
outburst followed the announcement
OF 666 votes yea. The nays were 53,
| and 16 were absent.
No Nomination for Cummns.
Immediately Chairman Root an
nounced a call Of the roll of the states
for nominations Alabama was passed
Arizona was silent. Down the list
silence followed the calling of each
state until Ohio was reached. A cheer
greeted the state and Warren G. Hard
ing arose to place President Taft in
nomination.
Then it was discovered Iowa had
forgotten to nominate Cummins. and
Root ordered that the state be called
again. Silence greeted the second call,
for the Iowans had decided not to
nominate Cummins, but to vote for
him.
Then Ohio was called again, and
Harding took the platform, gfaeted by
scattered cheers. to nominate Taft.
Day Of Battle.
Friday was day of excitement and
constant fighting between abe Taft
and Roosevelt forces on the floor of
the Republican convention. A partial
report from the committee on creden-
tials was the cause of the sanguinary
conflict
During the day four roll calls were
taken which furnished some little
CLEAN of hope for both sides. On one
ballot the Taft men polled the highest
vote yet recorded for them, COS. A
little later whatever significance
might have been attached to that vote
was somewhat discounted when the
Roosevelt adherents mustered a
strength OF 529, which was the high
mark SO far for the colonel's side.
Tho Roll Calls.
The roll calls were occasioned by
majority and minority reports from
the credentials committee on the seat
ing of contested delegates in the Ninth
Alabama district. The roll call was
on motion to table Governor Had
ley's resolution that contested dele
gates be not allowed to vote on the
reports. This carried by vote OF 500
to 499-10 not voting.
A motion made at once following, to
substitute the minority report seating
the Roosevelt men. as against the ma
jority's steam roller candidates was
lost by vote of 464 to COS. In the
second vote eight Idaho and twenty /!
nve Wisconsin votes went with the
Taft men. These states explained
that as members of their delegations
were on the credentials committee
they desired to support that commit
tee. They denied they had bolted to |
the Taft side on any other issue.
The third ballot was on the Arizona
contest case. The result was 664 to |
497. w -
The fourth vote was on the Califor-
MA case. This resulted 542 to 500
the highest vote yet mustered by the
Roosevelt men.
