CHRISTIAN SCIENCE.

Quotations taken quite at random
show very clearly the teaching of
Science" regarding Our Divine Re-
deemer, says Adrian Feverel, in the
December Catholic World. Once
separated from the verbal mist which
hangs over all of Mrs. Eddy's writ
ings, we begin to see what she is
really saying. Read in the textbook,
with a mass of hazy phrases, one
sometimes fails adequately to under
stand their real intent. For example,
consider the first quotation. "The
corporal Jesus was human" This we
all know and acknowledge. But we
also believe that the corporeal Jesus
was Divine. This Mrs. Eddy denies
entirely. She does not at all deny
that Jesus was born of virgin. And
it is interesting to note in this regard
that "The discoverer and founder of
Christian Science considers Our Lady
and her virginia. delivery precisely as
she would consider any other woman
who had sufficient science" to create
a child through mental generation.
Marys spiritual sense was illumined
with divine science or the Holy Ghost.
In other words. Our Lady caught a
CLEAN of Eddyism, and through this
understanding she brought forth her
child, putting to silence the material
order of generation, and demonstrate
ing God as the Father of men. To
put it in palmer words, with suf-
f1cient knowledge of science any
woman could become virginia.
mother. Just how Mrs. Eddy regards
Jesus as human, when according to
her theories the corporal form of
mankind is erroneous, and at the same
time a concept of the divine idea, it
is difficult to see. We must not,
however, look for consistency in Eddy
ism, that is gem that does not adorn
our authors "laborious publications. -

THE CRUSADERS CHRISTMAS.

In one of the stirring novels of the
late Marion Crawford is given vivid
picture of the Christian host en-
camped on the plains of Asia on Christ
mas Eve, 1147, during the Second
Crusade.
The camp was lit up with fires and
torches as far as one could see, and
all men we're out of doors, either
walking up and down, arm in arm, or
sitting on their saddles, or on packs
of baggage. The hundreds of thou
sands of little Christmas trees, stuck
into the earth amid circles of torches
before the newly whitened tents
made a great garden of boughs and
evergreens, and the yellow glare
shone everywhere through lacing
branches, and fell on rich colors and
cleaning arms, well polished for the
holiday, and lost itself suddenly in
the cold starlight overhead. The ali
smelled of evergreen and the aromatic
smoke of burning rosin.
The night rang with song also, anC

THE WAY OF THE SAINTS.

1t is a humble one; it does not lie
in doing great things. True, the
saints were heroes; but heroism is
oftenest found in hidden places, in
everyday life, at home, in the COM
monest circumstances of the world.
To be, as the Gospel tells us poor in
spirit" that is, not greedy for our
selves, not bent upon worldly success
at the cost of honor or charity, but
anxious first for Gods glory and the
good of others, counting all things but
loss that we may gain Christ; to be
meek, bearing injuries and SANDERS
with patience, loving to be unknown
and unnoticed, not standing up for our
rights eagerly or angrily; to mourn for
sin, even as David and Mary
mourned; to be hungry and thirsty
for Justice which is God; to be merci-
full, clean of heart, peaceable and max
ing peace; to count it JOY to be
allowed to suffer for Christ; by prac-
Using these things we shall be tread
ing the royal way, the way of the
saints.

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

ST. Sebastian was an officer in the
Roman army, esteemed even by the
heather as a good soldier, and hon
ored by the Church ever since as a
champion of Jesus Christ. st. Am
brose and st. Charles Borromeo were
specially devout to him. and it was
while he watched and prayed in the
catacombs of St. Sebastian that st.
Philip Neri received the miraculous
gifts of the Holy Ghost. Born at Mar
bonnie, Sebastian came to Rome about
the year 284, and entered the lists
with the powers of evil. He found the
twin brothers, Marcus and Marcel
linus, in prison for the faith, and when
they were near yielding to the en-
treaties of their relatives, encouraged
them to despise flesh and blood and
to die for Christ. God confirmed his
words by miracle: light shone around
him while he spoke; he cured the
sick by his prayers; and in this divine
strength he led multitudes to the faith,
and among them the Project of Rome,
with his son, Tiburtius. He saw his
disciples die before him, and one of
them came back from heaven to tell
him his own end was near. He was
led before Diocletian, and at the En-
peror's command pierced with arrows
and left for dead. But God raised
him up again, and of his own accord
he went before the Emperor, and con-
jured him to stay the persecution OF
the Church. Again sentenced, he was
at last beaten to death by clubs, and
crowned his labors by the merit of a
double martyrdom.
1t was in a contest of fervor and
charity that Sebastian found the occa.
sion of martyrdom. The Project OF
Rome, after his conversion, retired to
his estates in Campania, and took a
great number of his fellow-converts
with him to this place of safety. II
was question whether Polycarp the
priest or Sebastian should accompany
the neophytes. Each was eager tc
stay and face the danger at Rome
and at last the Pope decided that the
Roman Church could not spare the
services of Sebastian. He continued
to labor at the post of danger till he
was betrayed by false disciple
pierced by the arrows of the Moorish
archers, and finally beaten to death il
the circus.

LAST COMMUNION DAY.

Will you go to the door, alanna,
And watch if the priest is near?
It's weary the hours are dragging
Till the, time he'll be coming here.
Sure, 1 never have slept the night
long,
But just to lie here and pray,
To think that the Lord is coming
To my humble home this day.
I've counted the years, alanna,
From my first Communion morn,
When was bit of colleen
In the land where l was born.
That's seventy years this summer,
And often my heart was sore,
But the monthly Duty blessed me,
And soothed the grief bore.
Thank God for that faith, alanna!
What mattered the work and strife
When there at the altar-railing
| could eat of the Bread of Life?
These seventy years, alanna,
l went to Him faithfully,
Seventy years, alanna,
And at last He's coming to me.
Look out of the window, daughter,
He's coming at last, you say,
Long life to the darling soggarth,
That brings me my God this day!

of the Blessed Sacrament

DAY BY DAY.

Let me be a little kinder,
Let me be little binder
To the faults of those about me;
Let me praise little more;
Let me be, when l am weary,
Just a little bit more CHEEKY,
Let me serve little better
Those that l am striving for.
Let me be a little Drawer
When temptation bids me waver,
Let me strive little harder
To be all that should be;
Let me be little meeker
With the brother that is weaker,
Let me think more of my neighbor
And little less of me.
Let me be a little sweeter,
Make my life bit completer,
By doing what I should do
Every minute of the day;
Let me toll without complaining,
Not a humble task disdaining;
Let me face the summons calmly
When Death beckons me away.

ment word, "Pentecost," Greek word
signifying "the fiftieth' day, and
applied to denote the festival kept by
the Jews fifty days after the Pasch.
In the Christian dispensation, of
course, Pentecost means Whitsunday,
the fiftieth day from Easter, that is, if
both the first and last Sunday of the
seven weeks are counted in. But from
it's strict meaning of the fiftieth day,
the term Pentecost was extended at a
very early period to denote the in
terval which lay between Easter and
the day of Pentecost, almost the whole,
in fact, of what we call paschal time.
Moreover the Greek word was trans
lated literally into Latin, and the ex-
preston Quinquagesima may, not un-
frequently, be found in the fourth and
fifth centuries in the sense OF the
paschal season. Dominica secunda or
tertia in Quinquagesima' was used to
designate the second or third Sunday
within the pentecostal, i. e., paschal
period; in other words, the second or
third Sunday after Easter. When this
use of words had become familiar, it
was most natural that the forty days
period of lenten fast should be styled
in Greek tessarakoste, and in Latin
uuadragesima (fortieth), which is the
exact equivalent of the Greek; and
as a matter of fact we find both terms
familiarly used in the meaning of Lent
before the time of st. Augustine and
st. Jerome But given Quadragesima
a forty days period, and Quinqua-
gesima-a fifty days period, the use
of Septuagesima and Sexagesima may
be considered fairly ineligible. None
the less the names seem to have
caused a difficulty to no less eminent
a student of liturgy than the Emperor
Charlemagne; for, as he plausibly OBJ
jected to Alciun, Sexagesima is not
sixty, nor Septuagesima seventy days
off Easter. We can hardly doubt, how
ever, that Alcuin's answer, which finds
a reason in analogy and in the popular
love of round numbers, is substantial
ly the true one. The term Quadra-
gesima was natural, and strictly &C
curate when computed from Good Fri
day. Quinquagesima was also natural,
having the analogy of Pentecost in it's
favour, and being really fifty days off
Easter. With these two terms already
fixed, it was only to be expected that
the preceding Sunday should be
designated as Dominica in SeXagesima
the Sunday within the Sexegesimal
PERIOD just as the various Sundays of
Lent were called Dominica "a, ga, ETC.,
in Quadragesima. When, therefore,
finally, after these names had become
sufficiently familiar, another Sunday
was added to the series, it was almost
necessity that it's style should be
chosen upon the same principle. How
| familiar this kind of nomenclature
had become may be seen from the
usage of Toledo, in which Mid-Lent
Sunday more than once appears under
the name Gin vicesima," while in an
other part of the world Sexagesima
Sunday is described as Dominica "a
in Septuagesima.

But they cannot make a lasting and
effectual stand (neither can any save
the infallible church, against such
infringements of Gods law as man by
custom or enactment chooses to sane
ton. For the children's sake and for
our own, it is good to embrace and to
hold fast by that religion which en-
mobiles and sanctifies love in every
relation, and which raises aloft the
standard of modesty, simplicity and
charity. The Catholic Church holds
the estate of virginity to be holier and
higher than the estate of marriage;
but none the less she holds the estate
of marriage higher and holier than
do any outside her communion who
profess and call themselves Chris
tians, or who aim at ethical perfec-
ton.

of Ireland's immortal liberator. He

WITH THE PASSING YEARS.

Madonna mine, the while the fleeting
years
In their swift courses come and
pass away,
And nearer bring the time when
we, like they,
Shall cease to be; when neither
hopes, nor fears,
Nor all the love which life to us en-
dears,
Within our bOsoms longer WELD
their sway,
And the stilled pulses of our hearts
obey
No more the voice of JOY, nor plant
of tears:
Bear with us if we lift our eyes to
thee,
Who felt the shortness and the
length of life
Who knew, albeit therefrom thou
vast free,
The many snares which in this
world are rife,
And ask thee, while our years are yet
to be,
For strength to conquer in their
ceaseless strife.
A little while, and 10, in flight as
swift
AS the old year, which faster still
and fast
Loses itself within the misty past
We, too, shall vanish from mems gaze,
and drift
Across that stream whose shadows
never lift,
Except to those who have it's waters
passed:
A few more days, and what we
have amassed
For heaven will be the measure OF
our thrift.
Teach us that wisdom, then, Madonna
which
Rates time Alright while time still
perseveres;
So that, when hence, from our allotted
niche,
Death comes to call us unto other
spheres,
The deeds which we have wrought
may make us rich
Through the whole length of Gods
eternal years.

MY ROAD TO THE TRUE CHURCH.

The need of trustworthy and au-
thoritative guide for oneself and for
ones children, in facing the daily
problems of life in all it's relations,
led me, at first by slow, unconscious
degrees, but later by rapid strides, to
the following conclusions, writes Mrs.
E. Scott Stokes, in Truth. Faulty
expressed 1 know them to be, but they
are the convictions by which hope to
stand and to be judged, not here
alone, but hereafter also. They are
these:
The Catholic Church has the longest
and widest experience in philosophical
and practical dealing with every prob
lem of human life, public and private.
To briefly substantiate this assertion
it needs only to be pointed out that
the theologians of the Church have for
centuries been occupied with the
philosophical aspects of faith and I'M
belief, of holiness and sin, as they
affect the intellect and as they in
f1uence the heart. The Catholic clergy,
regular and secular, undergo a severe
training, based on the teachings of
these centuries, for their duties in the
confessional-a training without
parallel elsewhere. These duties bring
them in contact with all the so-called
most modern problems of the day
the innumerable difficulties, for
instance, that beset the married life,
the celibate life, and the much trod-
den yet unmapped country that lies
between.
The uncompromising morality of
the Catholic Church, encompassed
and pervaded at all costs by the
broadcast and humblest charity, ap-
pears, in my judgment, to be nearer
to the spirit and teaching of Christ
in the gospel than that OF any other
Christian communion.
The truceless war with sin, the
lifelong endurance, shown perhaps
more often in sustaining dread siege
against temptation from without and
within, than in pitched and eager
battle against the invigorating foe
this on the one hand, and the meek
ness of charity to sinners, wellnigh
beyond and against all reason, on the
other-these are characteristics of the
men who have the care of Catholic
morals which can hardly be known
till the convert has spent some time
under their rule. But these become suf
ficiently discernible to make a mother
recognize that the hearts and minds
of little children may here best tint
both grace and discipline. And so |
is. The JOY of Christmas, the glory Q
