The so-caIed Gospel Of Nicodemus

Of the New Testament, in giving a
further account lOf this incident, says:

replied, First. there was an earth

NJ The pivotal fact on which
the whole Christian religion
turns IS the Resurrection. Upon this
miracle Of miracles the faith may be
said 70 rest
We know that Jesus did return to
the earth alive-that he rose from
the tomb, in which his body had been
placed after the crucifixion, and made
himself manifest, in the flesh, TO his
disciples
1t is the great fact in Christianity
We deem it TO have been proved De
yOnd a doubt.
Hence the curious interest attach

erudite clergyman, the Rev. Dr..
Charles H Aiken, who now comes for

Scriptures, that the disciples them

their own faith in the resurrection.
Of the Master.
Says DR.. Aiken, 1.-The accounts
given IN the Scriptures clearly show
that the followers Of Jesus did not
expect Him TO come back They
thought He had gone from them for
ever; and, when told that He had re-
turned, they did not believe it"
One should realize that, when Jesus
had died on the cross, the disciples
were overwhelmed by grief and dis
may. They had no expectation Of any
such tragic deuOument On the con-
trary. they had believed that their
Messiah was destined to live forever
that He could not possibly die Al

preaching death, and that he would

nothing in the Gospels to sanction the

A SAINT FOR THE WEEK.
ST. MARY OF EGYPT.

At the tender age of twelve Mary
left her fathers house that she might
sin without restraint, and for seven
teen years she lived in shame at
Alexandria Then she accompanied a
pilgrimage to Jerusalem, and en-
tangled many in grievous sin. She
was in that city on the Feast of the
Exaltation of the Holy Cross, and went
with the crowd to the church which
contained the precious wood. The
rest entered and adored; but Mary
was invisibly held back. In that in
slant her misery and pollution burst
upon her. Turning to the Immaculate
Mother, whose picture faced her in
the porch, she vowed thenceforth to
do penance if she might enter and
stand like Magdalen beside the Cross
Then she entered in. AS she knelt
before Our Lady before leaving the
church, a voice came to her which
said, Pass over Jordan, and thou shalt
| find rest" She went into the wilder
ness, and there, in 420, forty-seven
years later, the Abbot Zosimus met
her. She told him that for seventeen
years the old songs and scenes had
haunted her; after that, she had had
perfect peace. At her request he
brought her, on Holy Thursday, the
sacred Body of Christ. She babe him
return again after a year, and this
time he found her corpse upon the
sand, with an inscription saying
Bury here the body of Mary the
sinner" She had passed over the
Jordan of death into the rest which
is promised alike to the penitent anC
the pure of the people of God.
Our Saint after her generous sur
render of herself to God, after forty
seven years fasting and silence in the
wilderness, fed at the sight of Zosi
mus, though she knew he was priest
He could scarcely come to speak with
her After he had heard her story
she only spoke with him once agar
when he gave her the last Communion
And we who like her have left oul

sion and scanty penance, go on risk

not avoid some plain occasion of sin

THE WORSHIP 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
Ole Faith which are openest to rea-
sonable dispute, and least comprehen-
sible by the average realistic and ma
teralist temper of the Reformation.
But, after the most careful examine
ton, neither as adversary nor as
friend, of the influences of Catholicism
for good and evil, I 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 in
nocent 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 women;
and every brightest and Hottest
achievement of the arts and strength
of manhood has been the fulflment
of the assured prophecy of the poo.
Israelite maiden: HE that is mighty
hath magnif1ed me, and holy is His
name"

Try it-For time, at least, practice

THIS is MY BODY,

In this age, when men decry every
thing sacred, and are gone mad over
false gods made from the fabric of
their own conceits, how grand is the
work of renewing again holy ground
by arresting the attention OF the
tourist, who might otherwise Come
to gaze" but not remain to pray
in directing the devotees of every land
to the glory of our past and the euch-
artistic reason for the renown, and in
proclaiming the faith of nations in the
silent majesty of our tabernacles.
Scientists will tell us, with a great
show of accuracy, that they can only
reduce a substance to it's primal paris
and that when that is done their work
is done, as they know not the part
Definition cannot help matters; analy-
sis cannot disclose new knowledge;
they confess their inability to go far
Their in the process; they absolutely
end at the subdivision.
Yet these men, who proclaim rightly
our ignorance of substance, are the
first to laugh when we declare that
God, who made matter, changes one
particle into another. Instead of their
investigation being an inspiration for
humility, they make it reason for
arrogance We know that it is easier
to change than to create, and that
Christ, our God, left us the crystal
lization of Love" (for st. John says
God is Love') in the white circle of
his hidden glory-the Blessed Sacra-
ment There He hears and sees and
feels our wants; there His mighty
mind CLEANS; there His giant heart
throbs; there His royalty gives an
dience, with the sanctuary His throne
room and the angels His courtiers.
He, in the most awful moment of His
life, when He was making His last
will and testament, used language, Of
which He was the maker, for the
Creator of man is the Author of Ian
guage, so simple in word, so solemn
in manner, so sublime in purpose, that
there is no mistaking the meaning OF
This is My body" and "This is My

all things a necessity, and so we have

was to learn, in the sacramento sense
in which they were given.
This is the august sacrament, whose
congress in Malta drew all men with
more eloquence than all the tongues
of all the oracles of our faith, WITT
more music than the trumpets Of arch
angels, with no less devotion thar
