INFLUENCE OF THE MADONNA.

To the common Protestant mind the
dignities ascribed to the Madonna
have been always a violent offence;
they are one of the parts of the Cath
olic faith which are openest to rea-
sonable dispute and least comprehen-
sihle by the average realistic and
materialist temper of the reformation.
But, after the most careful eXamina-
ton, neither as adversary nor as
friend, of the influences of Catholicism
for good and evil, l am persuaded that
the worship of the Madonna has been
one of the noblest and most vital
graces, and has never been otherwise
than productive of true holiness of
life and purity of character.
There has probably not been an inno-
cent cottage home throughout the
length and breadth of Europe during
the whole period of vital Christianity
in which the imagined presence of the
Madonna has not given sanctity to
the humblest duties and comfort to
the sorest trials of the lives of wom-
en-; and every brightest and Hottest
achievement of the arts and strength
of manhood has been the fulfllment
of the assured prophecy of the poor
Israelite maiden. "He that is mighty
hath magnified me, and holy is His
name"

THE NAME OF BRIGID.

The name of Brigld, once so pOpu-
lar among the people of our race is
surely on the decline. We now hear
it but rarely in conversation; less
and less does it accompany the re-
generating waters of baptism; more
and more is it discarded for fanciful
names found perhaps in novels OF
more or less questionable character,
the significance of the name being
entirely unknown. If the modern
names so frequently given children
were better understood often would
the parents have occasion to raise
their hands in holy horror at the load
of nonsense, if nothing more disgrace
full, with which they have branded
their children for life.
The Catholic theory of naming chill
dren is that they be given the name
of a saint whose virtue they try to
initiate, and who in turn will watch
over his or her protege and intercede
for the child in time of danger and
trial. Note some of the names given
Catholic children today. Where will
these children find sanity guides? On
the contrary, they will find their in
spiration in the name of some hero
of the day, of heroine in some SEN
sational novel; or, mayhap, of one
made famous for his assaults upon
the Catholic Church. Imagine a Cath
olic child, starting out in life with
such name as Calvin, for instance.
| heard Catholic priest, in speaking
of such people, say that it was won
der they did not name their children
Lucifer.
Enough of this. Let us come to the
point at issue Why are our girls no
longer named Brigid? Has the name
become obsolete? Or has it shed
some dishonor which we are trying
to blot out from the sight of men?
The truth of the matter is We have
outlived the age of faith and sim
plicity, and are now basking in the
sunshine of our superior knowledge
and enlightenment, forgetting or be-
ing ignorant of the fact that our fore
fathers in Holy Ireland before the
days of Anglo-Saxon tyranny had in
CQ61r possession me kuOWIouS0, lie
learning and the scholarship of the
world.
The name Brigid signifies strength
or virtue, and thus was particularly
appropriate to the one who was to
become so shining light in the Irish
Church.
Consider some of the characters
tics of the woman of whose name we
are apparently ashamed. In beauty
of face, form and demeanor she was
said to be surpassed only by the
Blessed Virgin, to whom she bore q
striking resemblance. In her native
land she was known as MARY of the
Gael" Mary of Erin" or the Pear
of Ireland" She was sweetness tc
all; she never spoke ill of anyone
She was a living example of The
beauty of holiness and of the joy anG
happiness of a virtuous life. She haG
the heart of a mother for her errins
children and the tenderness of a sister
for those in distress. She was called

Twilight League


At the close of the first week of the
Twilight league the public has wit
messed some high class ball. The
highest score that has been made by
any team was three runs. One tie
game was played, which had TO be
called on. account of darkness with
out a man to make the circuit on
either team. This record would be
hard for any amateur league in the
country to beat. The excitement dur
ing these games has been well demon
strated many times by some old
timer giving vent to his feelings in
a way that would put TO shame the
best lungs that the Indian warwhoop
ever developed.
The games have been well attended
so far this season. The interest ought
to increase with each game, as the
teams will develop more and more,
so each week ought to see faster ball
than the preceding one. Let all
journey to the North Hill Fairgrounds
for an hour each evening.
The game Monday evening, wealth
er permitting. will be between the
Car-wi -cos and the Burrow Press.
The Burrow Press team will be out in
their new suits for the first time.
With one or two additions to their al
ready strong lineup they will make
the Car wi-cos go some to hold their
one thousand per cent.
