A SAINT FOR THE WEEK.
ST. THEcLA.

ST. Thecla is one of the most an
cient, as she is one of the most illus
trious, saints, in the calendar of the
Church. Even before she was Chris
tian she was in great repute for her
skill in letters. "And why" says ST.
Methodius, should we speak of her
proficiency in divine knowledge, since
ST. Paul himself instructed her in
heavenly wisdom?" 1t was at Iconium
that the great Apostle met St. Thecla,
and kindled the love of virginity in
her heart She had been promised in
marriage to a young man who was
rich and generous. But at the Apos-
ties words she died to the thought of
earthly espousals; she forgot her
beauty; she was deaf to her parents
threats, and at the first opportunity
she fed from a luxurious home and
followed St. Paul. The rage of her
parents and of her intended spouse
followed hard upon her; and the Ro-
man power did it's worst against the
virgin whom Christ had chosen for
His own. She was stripped and placed
in the public theatre; but her in
nocence shrouded her like a garment.
Then the lions were let loose against
her; they fell crouching at her feet,
and licked them as if in generation.
Even fire could not harm her. Tor
ment after torment was inflicted upon
her without effect, till at last her
Spouse spoke the word and called her
to Himself, with the double crown of
virginity and martyrdom on her head.
st. Thecla's victory on earth was the
prelude to her power in Heaven.
"If," said St. Jerome to Eustochium,
if you love virginity, then the Blessed
Virgin will meet you accompanied by
those who have initiated her purity,
and St. Thecla will embrace you with
JOY" The altar where her body rested
at Seleucia was covered by cupola
which was raised upon columns, and
shone with silver, and this shrine was
a favorite place of pilgrimage; and to
this day the Church commends the
souls of her children in their last
agony ito Him who delivered Thecla
from three most cruel torments.''

around the world, a Pittsburgh boy
left his home to run away and join
the navy, for that great voyage. He
left without asking permission from
his parents; and he went away with
out telling anyone of where he was
going. The parents were almost dis
tracted, were broken in their lives;
they did not hear from their boy for
months, and in all that time did not
know whether he was in sickness or
poverty or in good condition-they
did not know whether he was alive or
dead!
After the fleet had reached the
coast of California, the parents in
Pittsburgh had their first communi-
cation from their son. He sent them
post card from San Francisco. And
then the orders were given to the
fleet to sail across the Pacific, and
months passed before the vessels re-
turned to our Atlantic coast. Through
all of that time these Pennsylvania
parents carried the heavy burden of
sorrow and care in their souls. The
father was blacksmith; and black
smiths are often thought to be so
strong that nothing can hurt them;
but the soul of the man can suffer
anguish. One day the pastor of the
church of which that blacksmith was
a member met the man and was talk
ing with him. The father told the
story of the boy-his prodigal son
who had gone to far countries; and he
ended the account with the state
ment, ct never before understood the
fathers part in the parable. I know
now what he suffered and what he
desired. Every night since my boy
went away I have left our outer door
unfastened; so that, whenever and as
soon as he comes home-whether at
day or night-he will find his home
open and a welcome for him, and he
will know that his father wants him
back"
God yearns for the return of His
children who have gone astray from
Him-rebellious, ungrateful, wilful,
foolish, selfish, unkind, thoughtless,
unloving, though they may be.

PARABLE OF THE PRoDIGAL SON.

Love is a wonderful thing, as has
been often said. We can hardly see,
often, how it is that person can love
some people. 1t cannot be explained
how a friends love will endure for
one who has gone to the bad' or for
one who is mean or cruel. 1t is surely
a God-given and God-strengthened
thing in a mothers life, when that
mother can still love child who has
ruined his own life and who has
broken the mothers heart.
One of the hardest things to bear,
that anyone faces, is ingratitude. How
we despise that, when we see it in
another: and yet how often we exhibit
ingratitude ourselves. The son who
was a prodigal, in the lesson of the
Bible, had rare advantages-a home
of great plenty was his, with many
luxuries, perhaps, and with much love.
Maybe he never had much to do but
enjoy himself, and receive training
for his future life. Maybe he was a
dashing, brilliant young fellow, who
was popular in society life, and per-
haps it was just because he got into
the places where he hungered for adj
miration and for excessive pleasures
such as finally wasted his life-that
he forgot the good things of his
fathers home, and went ungratefully
out from it, to break his fathers heart
and life.
But the prodigal son is less i'm
portant, in this story, than the father
of the boy. The great teaching of this
parable of Jesus is that the father
who represents our Father in Heaven
never forgot the boy, and yearned
after him, ever hoping for the boys
return.
1t was several years ago that an
illustration, in modern life, of this
parable occurred in Pittsburgh
mans life. At the time that the fleet
of the United States navy sailed

NOT ALoN E.

Oh, aching heart, could you but
take voice and speak, an inexpressible
wall of anguish would rise and fill the
homes of men and overflow into the
ways and roll through the valleys and
beat in it's surging tide against all
the hills the world around, writes the
Rev. F. P. Donnelly. Because you are
everywhere, aching heart The chill
dren feel you when their parents go
or are such that they we're better
gone. The, father knows you when
his hope and pride leaves him in
death or disgraces him. The bride or
bridegroom suffers with your agony
when orange blossoms yield with
painful swiftness to the funeral
flowers. But most of all, aching
heart, your anguish abides within the
mothers breast, whether the little
one dies in the coming or makes it's
going sadder because its short stay
has made it more lovable, whether
the father or her dear ones prove
shamefully unworthy or the children
themselves are wandering and lost
upon sinful ways.
And the absence of relief and the
loneliness of it ALL" cries the aching
heart. There is no remedy from the
whispers of praise or the touch of
gold or the hooking laugh of dissipa-
ton. There is a slight help in the
smile of friendship or murmur of
sympathy or hand-clasp of love. These
last indeed bring a message to me;
they make the sluggish currents of
sorrow sway; they stir the stagnant
water with healing movements; they
are the angels that visit the pool of
Bethsaida They, however, lessen
but do not remove my burden. 1t is
still there when the friends have all
gone, when the noises of life are
hushed, when the lights are out and
night with it's terrors comes closing
in. Then the pain throbs violently,
then the ache burns; it is so intense,
and am alone, alone. No one there
through all the dark hours as they
pass slowly one after another, no one
but I, the aching heart and my hor-
ror; my horror, disease; or my horror,
temptation; or my horror, remorse; OF
my horror, ingratitude; or my horror
wrong; or my horror, despair. There
II battle till faintness and WEAKNESS
come upon me, and all the time I am
alone, alone"
No, aching heart, you are not alone
Faith is not gone and that cries to
you that God is in Heaven and all is
right with the world. Hope is not
gone, and it's exultant tones are
chanting: "And God shall wipe away
all tears from their eyes; and death
shall be no more, nor mourning, mol
crying, nor sorrow shall be any more
for the former things are passed
away" And the most of all and the
greatest of all these, charity is not
gone. Near you, aching heart, is the
Heart of Christ, charity in charity's
sweetest form His Heart ached in
silence; His Heart was the only one
that ever ached alone.

and nobly endures will find light in

in the world for beauty. He made a

there. From 1t a very fine view is OBJ

miles to the east and north.

make a huge enclosure for his lions,
that they might be housed with the
greatest possible freedom and amid

lions, enjoying a large range Of liberty

where art and nature together at
their best must lift them out Of them
selves and inspire them with lofty
thoughts.

Rhodes imaginings on the mountain
side, the memorial committee decided
that the best form for the monument
would be a temple dedicated to him
