BY THE QUEENS MERCY

The rays of the western sun were
struggling through the dense pine
woods of the Black Hills one sultry
afternoon in the late summer. The
tops of the tall pines that crowned
the SUBMITS of the hills seemed lethar-
lied with the glorious effulgence; not
the ghost Of a breeze stirred their
sleeping branches. The frightening
shadows already lay heavy in the val
legs, while in the distance the eastern
ascent of Harvey Peak lowered aloft
in gloomy indistinctness.
The dreary silence of the scene was
unbroken save for the tramping of a
solitary horse that moved at a brisk
canter along the backbone of one of
the lesser hills. His rider, man
still young in years, was dressed in
the blue full-dress of one of Uncle
Sans troopers. He was a man to
hold the eye of even casual observer
tall, 1.-the, and well proportional,
with the free and easy grace of per-
feet self-possession His face, though
still handsome. had fallen into hard
lines, while his sunken cheeks, and
the dark hollow beneath his eyes
showed but too plainly that he was
going the pace that kills" The bride
hung loosely on his horses neck; the
road across the hills was no new one
to man or beast, and in the little ham
let that nestled down there in the

CATHOLIC CHARITY.

Genuine Catholic charity, says Right
Reverend Monsignor Thos. ]. Shahan,
always sees Jesus Christ in our neigh
bors, and from the earliest days of
our religion, the popular Christian con-
science has consecrated this truth in
many a lovely legend that exhibits
Christ Himself as the recipient of
benefits conferred on the beggar, the
leper, or some other distressed mem
Der of His mystic body. This is also
why Catholic charity sprang into be-
ing at the foot of the Cross itself, the
first divine plant to spring up from
the blood of the Redeemer, and why
it goes always with religion as it's
other self, it's full and perfect flower,
it's radiant effusion of intimate love,
consuming and spreading like fire,
and reminding itself always in the
hearts that admit it for what it is.
1t is this divine, this original, pure
ly religious character of Catholic char
ity that lends it the vigor, the uni
versatility, the sweetness, the infinite
variety, the intimate gentleness and
tenderness that characterizes it. This
charity, while it is based on the divin-
ity of Christ Jesus, is also Christ Jesus
indwelling and working in all the
vast framework of Catholicism, it's
driving force, it's irresistible uplift, its
salt and light, it's sweet odor, it's irwin
chile proof, it's solid guarantee, at once
it's author, life and contamination.
Even as the clean oblation of His
Body and Blood is offered up the world
over and through all time, from the
rising of the sun to the going down
thereof, so does that other clean obla-
ton of charitable works go up for
ever from countless millions of pure
and loving hearts, itself, in His own
words, holy and immaculate work OF
religion.
The life of charity is, indeed, the
highest approach to Him. Indeed
were it not for Catholic faith in the
Divinity of Jesus Christ, that hard.
won benefcent persuasion of our uni.
versaI brotherhood would soon disap-
pear, for it arose only through Him
and has no other efficient cause than
a strong faith in Him as the divine all
compassionate Head of the human
race. Could that persuasion disap
pear, we should soon relapse into the
moral ignorance and spiritual helpless
ness that preceded the Redemption.

WHAT DAILY MASS MEANS.

Creature of God, do you not owe
your Creator alteration? 1t is impos-
sible to give God all the praise His
Infinite projections merit except by
the Mass. In the Mass, Jesus, the Son
of God, mandates Himself for the
glory of His Father. We can, there.
fore, unite our homage with the In
finite glory He renders unto Him.
Every day you receive fresh blessings
from God, and you feel desire to
thank Him for them. No thanksgiving
is equal to that offered in the Mass
In return to God for His gifts you
offer the Infinite merits of His Son.
Every day you commit some faults
You do not know how to offer sufi
cient expiation for your own sins. and
those that you see committed around
you.
Go to Mass and you viii pay on all
your debt with the Precious Blood

EPISTLE: To one indeed, by
the Spirit, is given the word Of
wisdom; and to another, the
word of knowledge, according to
the same Spirit; to another,
faith in the same Spirit; to an
other, the grace of healing in
one Spirit; to another, the work
ing of miracles; to another,
prophecy; to another, the dis
corning Of spirits; to another,
divers kinds of tongues; to an
other, Interpretation of speeches.
GOSPEL: TWO men went up
into the Temple to pray; the
one a Pharisee, and the other
Publican. The Pharisee stand
ing, prayed thus with himself:
o God, | give thee thanks that
am not as the rest, of men, ex-
tortioners, unjust, adulterers;
as also is this Publican. fast
twice in the week; give tithes of

much as lift up his eyes towards
heaven, but struck his breast,
saying, o God, be mercifuI to me

A SAINT FOR THE WEEK.
ST. swlTHlN, BISHOP.

Swithin was born of noble parents
and at an early age became a monk
at Winchester. There, we are told, he
devoted himself to God so manfully
and humbly, that he became pattern
of every virtue. King Egbert made
him his chaplain, and intrusted to him
the education of his son, Ethelwolf
the father of Alfred the Great. When
EthelWolf became King st. Swithin
was made Bishop of Winchester and
adviser to the King in all matters
pertaining to the Church. We trace
his influence in the laws about tithes
in the exemption of the Church from
civil taxes, in the institution of Peters
pence, and in the provision that every
ten families should maintain one poor
person AS Bishop he was noted fol
manly firmness and vigilance, and
for humility and modification of self
His tender sympathy with the poor
was even more remarkable than his
profuse almsgiving. He died A. D.
1862, and was, by his own order, buried
at the door of the Church, that all who
entered might trample on his grave
One hundred years afterwards his
relics were translated into the re
stored cathedral; his hand, the instru
ment of so great charity, was found
incorrupt, and innumerable miracles
of healing were wrought at his shrine
In 1879 William of Wickham, Chan
cellor of England, and a devoted client
of the Saint, built the nave and front
of the existing cathedral.
AS an instance of the Saints care fol
the poor, even in the smallest things
it is related that, when he was build
ing bridge at Winchester, some Of
the workmen insulted poor woman
who passed by, and in mischief broke
the eggs she was carrying for sale
She complained to st. Swithin of the
insult and wrong; and the Saint
touched with compassion, took from
her the basket in which the broken
eggs were, made the Sign of the Cross
over it, and gave it back to her with
the eggs whole as before.

THE SANCTUARY LAMP.

o ardent Flame! the livelong day,
Thou lov'st to cast thy gentle ray
On Him whose throne the heavens are,
Whose footstool earth, whose light a
star.
Dear little Flame, what happy hours
That ne'er were seen in Eden's bow
ers;
What chances, and what deep delights
Consume thy days, enchant thy nights!
Without the storm-king fiercely rides:
The breakers roar and swell the tides;
Within thy home alrs peace and calm,
For He reigns there whose word is
balm.
o happy Flame! whose lot it is
To shine before the throne of bliss:
Methinks when on thee do glance
A Seraph's heart thou might'st en-
trance.
With joys o'erfiowing thou dost leap,
Thou flickerest, dancest, yet ne'er
sleep
On thee doth steal, for in thy sight
There's lived a life that knows not
night.
o living Flame! so clear, so bright,
So fervid in thy souls delight;
Of love the emblem meet and true,
As flowers ope and kiss the dew.
Oh, would that l like thee might bide
Forever at my dear Lords side.
A Seraph's flame, or Cherub /,
To love and love, and ne'er to die.

You believe in purgatory. You know
that it is a place of expiration for grave
sins forgiven and for smaller offences
Now, by devoutly assisting at Mass
we can purify ourselves from venial
sin and obtain better than by any
other means remittance from our sins
in the past. You have, perhaps, dearly
loved a dead relative. His soul has
gone before God.
Go to Mass every morning, and each

THE APOSTLES CREED.
The Communion of Saints.

Marks of the Church, writes Rev. G.
NJ H., in the Pittsburg Observer, are
certain characters, sensible, exclu-
sive and permanent, by which the true
Church of Christ can be recognized
by all men in an easy and sure man
ner." Guided by the Nicene Greed,
we find four marks-namely, unity,
sanctity, catholicity, and apostolicity.
The Church of Christ must be one in
doctrine and by consequence in faith,
in worship, in government; must be
holy-that is, must not only have the
means of sanctifying, but must have
produced in all ages men and women
eminent for sanctity; must be Catho-
lic-that is, universal as to doctrine,
place and time; must be apostolic
that is. must not only date back to
the Apostles, and teach the doctrine
of the Apostles, but especially must
have rulers who are the lawful sue
cessors of the Apostles. These four
marks are not verified in any Church
other than the Roman Catholic. In
this instruction we shall speak of the
communion VI OdluJS. i uC SOAAhAUA
ion of Saints follows necessarily from
the idea of the Church, is develop
ment of the idea. AS our separated
brethren (Protestants) have an idea
of the Church different from that OF
the Catholic, we naturally must ex-
pect that their idea of the Communion
of Saints also differs from the teach
ing of the Catholic Church on this
point. And such is the case. 1t is,
therefore, very important to know the
exact teaching of the Church.
Who Are Called Saints.
Let us first try to understand who
are called saints The word has diff
ferent Specifications. We may say
in general way that the word "holy'
implies that person or thing has
been withdrawn from the common
state or use and dedicated to God
or His service. The Son of God came
into the world to redeem and sanctify
all men. st. Paul writes to the Thes
salonians CT. 4. 3D.: "This is the vii

WELCOMED AN OLD FRIEND

lark In Honolulu.

One Of my pleasant surprises In
Honolulu-one that gave the touch OF
nature which made me feel less q
stranger there, was learning that the
European skylark had been intro
duced and was thriving on the grassy
slopes back of the city. The nina,
a species of startling from India as
large as our robin and rather showiiy
dressed, with a loud, strident voice, I
had seen and heard everywhere both
In town and country, but he was a
stranger and did not appeal to me.
Yet the thought Of the skylark
brought Shelley and Wordsworth, and
English downs and meadows, near to-
me at once, and was eager to hear
1t. So. early one morning we left
Pleasanton, our tarrying place, and
climbed the long, pastoral slope above
the city, where cattle and horses were
grazing, and listened for this minstrel
from the motherland. We had not
long to wait. Sure enough, not far
from us there sprang from the turf
shelley's bird, and went climbing his
invisible spiral toward the sky, pour
ing out those hurried, ecstatic notes,
Just as / had heard him above the
South Downs of England. It was a
moment of keen delight to me. The
bird scared and lowered, drifting
about, as 1t we're, before the 1mpetu-
GUS current of his song, with all the
Joy and abandon with which the poets
have credited him. 1t was like a bit
of English literature vocal in the air
there above these alien scenes. Pres
emily another went up, and then an
other, the singers behaving in every
respect as they do by the Avon and
the Tweed, and for moment I
breathed the air that Wordsworth and
Shelley breathed.-From Holidays in

Courts martial are not infrequently

discouraged by the officers. Most at

aboard who does not realize this fact.
A sailor who was charged with
gambling had retained an attorney to
get him of. This attorney, who had
never had such a case before, went
briskly into the officers wardrobe,
where the court was sitting, and
without waiting on ceremony began
to address the court in a clustering
manner.
