A SAINT FOR THE WEEK.
ST. FRANCIS BoRGlA.

Francis Borgia, Duke of Gambia and
Captain-G General of Catalonia, was one
of the handsomest, richest, and most
honored mobiles in Spain, when, in
1889, there was laid upon him the sad
duty of escorting the remains of his
sovereign, Empress Isabella, to the
royal burial place at Granada. The
coffin had to be opened for him that
he might verify the body before it
was placed in the tomb, and SO foul a
sight met his eyes that he vowed
never again to serve sovereign who
could suffer so base change. 1t
was some years before he could follow
the call of the Lord; at length, when
his wife was dead and his children
settled, he gave up all; and where he
had ruled as viceroy he went about
in an old tattered habit, preaching
Christ crucified to the peasants. He
had entered the Society of Jesus to
cut himself off from any chance of
dignity or preferment. But his Order
\chose him to be it's head Francis
only abased himself the more, and an
ever-growing sense of his sins, though
his life had always seemed so stain
less, made him feel the lowest of all.
The Turks were threatening Christen-
dom, and ST. Plus V sent his nephew
to gather Christian princes into a
league for it's defence. The holy Pope
chose Francis to accompany him, and,
worn out though he was, the Saint
obeyed at once. The fatigue of the
embassy exhausted what little life
was left. st. Francis died on his re-
turn to Rome, October 10th, 1872.
A Spanish nobleman said once to
the Saint, How can you bear the
fatigues and hardships of your jour-
neys, made as they are in such utter
poverty?" There is nothing to be
surprised at. We do not travel SO I'M
provided as you imagine. I always
send some one on before to see to
lodgings and whatever else we re-
quire." The gentleman was rather
puzzled. "Sir," st. Francis added,
"the knowledge of myself, and the
account of my dement's, which had
justly deserved the flames of hell, are
my outriders and foragers.'

veloped, for on it is based the we'll
being Of society. In every well-regu-
lated society there is coincidence be-
tween the path of duty and the path
of prosperity. Dishonesty, violence
and disregard for the rights of others
inevitably bring punishment in their
train
Morality, which follows from the
dictates of conscience, is the very
soul of good citizenship. The virtue
of the people is the life of the repub-
lie. The responsive conscience and
abiding sense of duty can accomplish
what personal interest or high-vaulting
ambition would be powerless to effect.
We have seen how nations that
were once the fairest and proudest of
Europe have declined and lost their
prestige through the moral sense be-
ing blunted and the national con-
science blinded. If a nation will con-
tinue to be prosperous the sense of
right and wrong must govern all it's
deliberations, and the power of truth
and honesty sway it's every enterprise.

LOVE FOR THE DEAD.

What is stronger or more lasting
than the love which binds us to those
who share our affection! The moth
ers love for the child, the friends
love for the friend, are the noblest
traits of our human nature, because
we were created to love God and our
neighbor. Life comes to us and life
seems to end when death comes
There is separation of soul from body,
of friend from friend. oh! if the
grave meant death forever, then, in
deed, would we be miserable. If
there were no hope, then to live were
pain, and to exist, cruel punishment.
Our holy faith tells us what is called
death is only separation; that death
is but the gateway of eternal life;
that to die is but to begin to live.
Faith tells us that love never >dies
when love is nourished in the grace
of Gods sweet mercy. So beyond the
grave, love may go still to love those
to whom nature or friendship bound
u.s. We believe that beyond the grave
is a place of probation for souls not
wholly purified having yet something
to pay to the justice of God for sins
already RENTED. Those we love and
who love us may be in punishment,
expiating, their sins. Faith tells us
that our love may reach them; that
our prayers may help them and that
we may place to their credit anything
of ours which has merit before God.
In this life we pray for others, we
do works of mercy that they may be
saved; but they are still in the world
and our benefits depend upon their
will not to place obstacles in the way.
But in Purgatory there is no obstacle.
Our prayers, our good works, our
merits, go straight to their help and
their suffering is relieved, their days
of punishment are shortened, and
love continues toward those we loved
on earth. They, in turn, in their graft
tude pray for us and their prayers
mount to Heaven and the graces of
God come in heavenly dews to our
souls. Our dead! Our beloved dead!
Loved even more strongly because
they are near to God. How consoling
the doctrine that assures us that we
can pray for them, and we should
pray for them! Are they in suffering
We know not; but love bids us pray
for them and pray for them ever, that
the hand of the Lord be not laid
heavily upon them. Pray for your
dead! Never forget your dead! They
love you and they plead for your
prayers. Pray for the dead that
eternal rest may come to them and
that perpetual light may shine upon
them -TTdinos.

GODS CHILD.


"And you are quite satisfied now,
my child?"
eyes, Father, want to be baptized
and I will bring Joyce, too, OF
course" The priest looked at her
thoughtfully. She was such a frail
little woman in her clinging black
robes and the heavy crepe veil that
seemed too weighty for her small
head.
Bring the child at once, today" he
suggested.
ooh, Father-well, yes, l will. It is
her birthday; she is two years old to-
day." she added, and shadow clouded
her blue eyes for moment-then she
Father she said, and went away.
It was done that day, on the day of
Holy Angels-her child was Gods
now, and the thought gave the lonely
mother little more courage to face
the future. 1t was but few months
since the child's father had been swept
in an instant from the side of his wife
and little Joyce. A sudden attack of
an unsupported malady had taken him
off-there had been no chance for fare
wells, no moment in which he might
look once more on the faces of his
loved ones; he had been brought
home-dead. He had been a good
man, according to his lights, and his
widow felt that in some mysterious
way God had provided for his sudden
end. In her bereavement she had
taken to going into the Church of the
Holy Angels and sitting there quietly
| with her sleeping child in her arms.
She did not pray-she scarcely knew
why she went there day after day,
only that she found peace for her ach-
| ing heart in the silence of the sane
tuary and it may be that she fumbled,
| in some illdefned way, for the 'shem
of His garment" The good priest in
charge of the little mission had noted
her visits, and that she was evidently
not a Catholic; yet he had not spoken
to her. He had put the matter into
more capable hands, he said to him
self, when he recommended the widow
and her child to the Holy Angels who
guarded them, and to the other bless
ed spirits who stood about the earthly
| throne of their King.
Little by little the widow came to
| love the refuge she had found from
| the cares and troubles of life, and
when she began to attend Mass on
Sundays, and to hear the simple SER
mons of the good pastor, she speedily
came to realize, for the first time in
her life, the claims of the Catholic
Church. And so, step by step, she had
accepted them and was now prepared
and eager for baptism.
The first few months of her life as
a Catholic passed peacefully enough
with her child to care for and her new
faith to study and test. She fingered
| in the little seaside village, too, for
her health was failing, and sometimes
she was anxious for the child's sake
for her own she was willing to lay
down her life at any moment-but
who would care for Joyce il she were
i left alone? She put the dark thought
steadily from her.
"She is Gods child" she said once
to Father Hall; eff have to leave her
He will take care of her. And the
priest had turned aside hastily, thai

TWENTIETH SUNDAY AFTER
PENTEcosT.

EPlSTLE: Brethren, see how
you walk circumspectIy, not as
unWise, but as wise; redeeming
the time, because the days are
evil. Wherefore, become not I'M
wise, but understanding what Is
the will of God.
GOSPEL: At that time, there
was a certain ruler whose son
was sick at Capharnaum. He
having heard that Jesus was
come from Judea into Galilee,
went to him, and prayed him to
come down, and heal his son;
for he was at the point of death.

she might not see the mistness in
his eyes.
The call came suddenly-it was
Joyce's third birthday-the first an
niversary Of her baptism. Father Hall
had just time to administer the last
rites. The widow looked toward Joyce
the priest understood, and guided
her hand to the child's head. She
traced the Sign Of the Cross on the
little forehead and her hand fell back.

" that no one but the priest heard
her-then, with a smile, she passed
away.

most uncompromising type. He had
been sent for by Father Hall as the
only relative Of the child, and he came,

CAPT RosrRoN.s JUST DUE.

While it is proper to give due credit
to Capt. Rostron Of the Carpathia for
rescuing the Titanic's passengers who
were in the lifeboats, it might be rea-
sonable to inquire why he didn't go a
step further, 50 to speak, and send the
same boats back to the scene Of the
wreck to see if there were not persons
alive on wreekage. Examination OF some
Of the bodies picked up by the cable ships
revealed that some Of them must have
survived long after the Titanic went
down; and the evidence showed that the
Carpathia arrived at the scene within
few hours Of the sinking. Capt Ros-
irons efforts to get q the place where
the Ttanic's distress signals were sent,
we're nothing more than the average man
would strike 10 do; and no particular
praise is dre che sea commander WAC did
