A SAINT FOR THE WEEK.
ST. BoNIFAcE, MARTYR.

Aglais, a Roman lady of rank and
wealth, and Boniface, her steward,
led lives of sin. One day Aglais was
stricken with remorse, and calling
Boniface, she said: You know that
we have lived forgetful of the account
we must render for our sins, when
we stand before God. But I have
heard that whoever is devout to the
Saints will have his part with them in
the Judgment Then she babe him
set out for the East, where the perse-
cution of Diocletian was raging, and
procure for her relics of the martyrs,
hoping to place them in costly shrines,
and to obtain grace through their
prayers. Boniface was filled with
conjunction and awe at the thought
of the sacred burden he was to bring.
He implored the mercy of Christ, and
throughout his whole journey he alb
stained from flesh and wine in honor
of the Saints. At Tarsus he found
himself in the thick of persecution.
He saw the confessors suspended
head downwards in the fire, torn with
hooks, stretched on the rack. He
kissed their feet and begged their
intercession, till these marks of rev.
erence drew the eyes of the persecu-
tors upon him, and he was himself
apprehended, tortured, and beheaded
When the executioner poured boiling
lead into the mouth of st. Boniface,
he asked the other martyrs who were
suffering torture at his side to pray
for him their servant They made
answer: May our Lord Jesus Christ
grant thee to finish thy course quickly.
May He write thy name with the first
born With his last breath he be-
sought God to give him rest in the
choir of the holy martyrs Thus his
conversion and his perseverance were
the fruit of his devotion to the Saints,
and when he went to be with them for
ever an angel appeared in vision to
Aglais, and assured her that God
would pardon all her sins through the
intercession of the martyr Boniface.
His body was carried back to Aglais.
She received it as a precious relic,
and after thirteen years of penance
died in the odour of sanctity about the
year 800.

USE OF HOLY WATER Is VERY
IMPORTANT.

OF the sacramentals instituted by
our Holy Mother the Catholic Church
for the spiritual benefit of her chill
dren, holy water is one of the most
beneficial. But it's use is very often
neglected, writes "Mirat' in The
Southern Guardian. Holy water foun-
tains are rarely seen in Catholic
homes, and it's use sadly forgotten.
The rooms are adorned with all man
ner of wall ornaments, but the holy
water fountain is missing. In Catholic
countries the bride of an aristocratic
family received with her dowry also
a very costly holy water fountain. But
in these days of materialism this pious
practice is "out of date" and the holy
water fount shares the fate with the
crucifix, which is also left out as an
unnecessary article for room fittings.
Since the fear of God is decreasing,
the fear of men is Increasing, and
this is one reason why the crucifix
and holy water fountain finds no
thought nor room in Catholic homes;
for it might be ridicu1ed by mont Cath
Ollie associates.
There are a number of Catholics
who use holy water once a week
that is on Sundays in church-and this
must do them all week. Others have
holy water in their homes and would
never be without it, for they use in
case of storms, sickness, etc., but
they keep it in some fancy glass too
breakable for common use; therefore,
it is kept in safety behind an army
of perfume bottles, which are in daily
demand
Holy water should be used fire.
quently, viz: on entering and leaving
room, when rising or retiring, in
temptation.
Would to God that the pious prac-
tice where the mother blesses her
children before going to school or
places of amusement would not be
found too tedious, or that kiss should
The Catholic bulletin. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1911-1995, 1912-05-18

take the place of the sign of the cross.
Not that this act of affection should
be unused-oh, no-by no means; for
what is more touching to see than
when a grown young man or woman
kiss their old mother-not ashamed
of her infirmity nor appalled, by dis
ease. But this does not exclude the
more edifying act of blessing the chill
dren with holy water and pressing
the sign of the holy cross upon the
forehead Where there is time for the
one, there is time for the other.
What if such a child, young or old,
should not return home should have
met with an accident? Which would
be more consoling to really Christian
mothers heart-to have kissed her
child before leaving, or to have
blessed it with holy water-although
it would grieve her to have omitted
the first? Would not this mother
amid the anxiety of the spiritual well
fare of her child's unforeseen and sud
den death, find great consolation in
rendered her child was a blessing
Will this mother not have the sweet
hope that this means of the holy
Church may have assisted her child
in the last dreadful minutes, and be-
fitted it to happy death, helped to
brief act of perfect contrition.
May the time return when the holy
water fountain finds it's prominent
place at the entrance of the door in
Catholic homes. 1t should be placed
in such position that children have
free access to it in order to let this
pious practice of using holy water
| frequently grow with them The foun
tain should not be mere ornament
but always supplied with the proper
contents.
An old and highly venerated pastor
once visited a very wealthy family
belonging to his parish. On entering
the door he detected a costly holy
water fountain, in it's proper place
AS was his custom he reached for the
holy water, but found the vessel

neglected this efficacious practice oil

To make sure of their neglect he
placed silver coin in the fountain
taking care not to be observed
Weeks after the priest repeated his
visit and found the coin untouched
On leaving, he knowingly reached fol
the holy water and said: well,
declare, what a strange combination
your servant is neither pious nor il
she inclined to steal; for see here
yourself, I placed this piece of money
in this fountain on my last visit, and

THE AUTHORITATIVE CHURCH.

The guarantee of an infallible au-
thority is not only necessary to the
individual who desires to possess
truth; it is also necessary in a sense
which may be called social. For social
order rests upon moral truth; and
moral truth rests upon religious truth.
This axiom being accepted, says a
writer in the Pittsburg Observer,
how could there be an escape from
the vicious circle in which religion
found itself involved with political
authority in the matter of their proper
relations, and how could a satisfac-
tory solution be found when they were
ence a power to settle sucn difficult
ties, not by armed force, but by the
decision Of an infallible authority? Is
there any other authority outside OF
the Church and the State that can
render a disinterested and impartial
decision should such a conflict arise:
The only authority outside and above
the Church and the State is that OF
God, Who maintains silence, Who is
never party to strife. Is the State to
settle the dispute with it's sword? II
so, what would become of truth, thus
left to the whims or the despotism OF
armed force? Would not might then
obtain victory over truth and, as a
consequence, over justice too? What
would become of the kingdom of souls
if IL were handed over RI tho swan
of violence, the judgment of the
sword?
Regarded, then, from a religious
rational, and social standpoint, it is
manifest that there could be no salts
factory and logical solution except
that furnished by the judgment of a
tribunal materially powerless but doc
