Consress Meets and Discusses Meas
ure, and Big Sister and Brother
Movement.

The monthly meeting of the District
Congress OF Mothers was held yesterday
afternoon at the Raleigh Hotel. The
meeting was given over TO the legisla-
ton committee and was conducted by its
chairman. Mrs. Fred T. Dubois.
Bills now before Congress providing
for the use of public school buildings
and grounds, for teachers retirement
fund. for the regulation of moving pic
lures and theaters, and for liquor regu-
latiop were discussed and acted on by
the congress. In addition to the legisla-
tive work enthusiastic consideration was
given to the big sister and big brother
movement. to which Mrs. Dubois has
given much Of her time. and OF which
she told most interestingly.
The meeting was we'll attended. Social
workers of many years experience
talked - their work, and the bearing
of the bills under consideration on such
work. and their enthusiasm was matched
by that of the women anxious to take
up such activities and to lend their in
fiuence to secure improved legislation on
the matters vttaily affecting the life OF
the community.
Mrs. Dubois told Of the big sister and
big rother work in Washington and
and boys guilty OF some minor offense
make under the sympathetic friendship OF
an older member OF their sex. Some Of
the work Is done among the children
who have passed through the Juvenile
Court. Mrs. Dubois has lists Of the pa
rolled children made daily. and is anxious
to interest enough women and men In
the work to provide for each of the un-
fortunate children a friend and adviser.
So great was the interest shown in the
movement that at the conclusion Of the
meetinC mapy Of the woman present
gave their names to Mrs. Dubois and
announced themselves willing to become
q zig sister to one OF the children.

HOW THE GREAT PATRON OF
FOREIGN MISSIONS DIED.

St Francis Xavier died at the age
of forty-six years, on barren island
called Saucien, near the coast OF
China. His Portuguese companions
buried his body near the spot where
he expired, and great was their sur
prise to think that the passing OF
their heroic companion was unac-
companied by any miracle.
The reason for this wonderment
was that they had often seen the
saint perform miracles during their
daily intercourse with him. He died,
however, after twelve days fever
with the words, "In Thee, o Lord,
have 1 hoped" upon his lips, and no
unusual event accompanied his sdisso-
luton. It was not necessary. Al
most three months later the captain
of the ship sent to exhume the re-
mains, found the body of st. Francis
not only totally incorrupt, but flexible,
fresh and fair as if in sleep, and
exhaling a sweet perfume. This was
more remarkable as the Portuguese
had cast a quantity of quick lime into
the casket at the time of interment
A second miracle was shortly to be
witnessed by the bearers OF this
precious burden. The vessel set sail
for Malacca where a plague had been
raging for some time, and no sooner
had the craft touched the shore than
the scourge ceased to afflict the
wretched inhabitants.
Goa, a town in Hindustan, became
the ultimate resting place for the
holy remains. The present shrine
over the great apostles tomb is con
sidered the most costly in the world
and is all the result of voluntary Of
ferings from the faithful.

THE CIRCUMCISION.

The week succeeding the birth of
her Son had been to Mary week of
exquisite joy, one long ecstacy of
heavenly delight, with no sorrow to
mar the brightness of the sunshine of
His presence. But on the octave of
His nativity all was changed. She
began to realize the fact that Jesus
had come to suffer-that He who was
infinitely dearer to her than the whole
world was to be the Man of Sorrows
and Mary's joy was changed to
bitter sorrow. Thus it is for all those
who love God, writes Rev. r. S. Clark,
S. ]. The times when earth seems
unable to contain the greatness OF
their joy are sure to be followed by
sorrow and by pain.
1t seemed but a trifie which thus
changed the complexion of Mary's
life. The pain that Jesus had to suffer
had but passing smart Why should
she thus grieve over it? It was be
cause it betokened the indignities
] that He would have to suffer, the
The Catholic bulletin. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1911-1995, 1913-01-11

character of a victim for sin that He
had taken upon Himself. Often a
mere trifle destroys the brightness OF
our life. God uses matters seemingly
trivial to teach us our weakness.
Yet Mary would not have had it
otherwise. She knew it was the will
of God, and that was enough for her.
Would that 1 could learn this lesson
more perfectly! Then nothing would
destroy my peace, as nothing
destroyed Mary's.
1t seems strange that the spotless
Lamb of God should have been sub
iected to rite which was the occa-
sion on which Jewish boys were freed
from original sin. Was it not deroga-
tory to Jesus, and calculated to pro-
duce the false impression that He was
not the Son of God, born of virgin
mother, but a sinful son of Adam,
like those around? Sometimes it is
not only lawful, but duty, to do what
is calculated to mislead others, when
God enioins it or some higher motive
exists for it.
What was this high motive in the
case of the circumcision Of Jesus? 1t
was that He might become like us IN
all things, sin only excepted; that he
might be made sin for us, i. e.. might
bear all the consequences OF sin, and
the suffering that is the result OF sin
o merciful Saviour May my heart be
ever full of gratitude to Thee for this
Thy divine condescension!
Our Lord was circumcised also
because He came to fulfil all the
Jewish law, with all it's rites and
ceremonies. He exalted it by His
obedience and exact accomplishment
of all it's details. So I ought to love
and obey every enactment OF the
Church, every ceremony and every
detail of her ritual and discipline.

THE WISDOM OF THE WISE MEN.

The Wise Men, the Three Kings,
showed truest wisdom when they
asked: Where is He Who is born
king of the Jews?" For, Christ was
royal by birth, by human descent from
the Virgin Mother who gave Him birth
in the city of David. Though He as
cended not the throne of David, says
KeneIm Digby Best, that throne was
really His by the title of inheritance.
Christ is also King, in virtue of the
Hypostatic Union. In the eternal de-
cree of the Union, He is anointed with
Divinity, and appointed King" King
over both orders, the spiritual and ma
terial, the angelic and human. All
creation had groaned for His coming
Who was to wear the crown of all
creation. "AlI power is given Me in
heaven and on earth" He is also
Priest according to the Order of Mel
chisedec-King and Priest at once, the
Great Pontiff-King. By popular &C.
clamation He would not be King. When
He fed the multitude, and "they came
to make Him king" He fed away;
when they strewed palm branches and
garments and cried out: BLESSED be
the King that cometh in the name OF
the Lord" He wept. But, by His SUI
ferings, His purple garment, His
crown of thorns, His reed-sceptre; by
His passion and death upon the Cross
He won crown, and reigned from the
empurpled wood-"Therefore did God
exalt Him, and give Him name above
every name"

A SAINT FOR THE WEEK.
ST. THEoDosIUs THE cENo8I-
ARCH.

Theodosius was born in Cappadocia
in 423. The example of Abraham
urged him to leave his country, and
his desire to follow Jesus Christ at
tracted him to the religious life. He
placed himself under Longinus, very
holy hermit, who sent him to govern
a monastery near Bethlehem. Unable
to bring himself to command others,
he fed to a cavern, where he lived
in penance and prayer. His great
charity, however, forbade him to re-
fuse the charge of some disciples, who,
few at first, became in time vast
number, and Theodosius built large
monastery and three churches for
them. He became eventually Superior
of all the religious communities of
Palestine. Theodosius never refused
assistance to any in poverty or afflic-
ton; on some days the monks laid
more than a hundred tables for those
in want. In times of famine Theodo-
sius forbade the aims to be dimin-
ished, and often miraculously multi
piled the provisions. He also built five
hospitals, in which he lovingly served
the sick, while by assiduous spiritual
reading he maintained himself in per-
feet recollection He successfully op-
posed the Eutychian heresy in Jeru-
salem, and for this was banished by
the Emperor. He suffered long and
painful malady, and refused to pray
to be cured, calling it salutary pen
ance for his former success. He died
at the age of 106.
Theodosius accommodated himself
so carefully to the characters of his
subjects, that his reproofs were loved
rather than dreaded. But once he was
obliged to separate from the Com
munion of the others religious guilty
of a grave fault. Instead of humbly
accepting his sentence the monk was
arrogant enough to pretend to excom-
municate Theodosius in revenge.
Theodosius thought not of indignation,
nor Of his own position, but meekly
submitted to this false and unjust
excommunication. This so touched
the heart of his disciple that he sub
mitted at once, and acknowledged his
fault.

THE NUMBER OF THE SAVED.

In view of the fact that no man is
condemned to eternal punishment ex-
cent through his own fault, we may
ask what must be thought of the
chances of salvation in the case OF
millions of adults in Africa, China,
and so on? They have never heard OF
Christ have never had perhaps more
than the faintest glimmering of Gods
existence: vet they may not have sin
ned against the light. Have they no
hope of salvation?
Obviously, says writer in the New
Zealand Tablet, the great obstacle to
their salvation is want of faith, for at
the very least supernatural faith in
God as Remuneration is absolutely
necessary for salvation. But without
faith it is impossible to please God

THE SPIRIT WORLD.

In a Pastoral Letter, Right Rev.
DR.. Cassartelli, Bishop of Stafford,
England, writes as follows OF the
origin, character, and dangers of what
is known as Spiritualism or Spiritism:
The Catholic Church at all times is
chiefly concerned with the spiritual
sides of man and his destiny, with the
future life beyond the grave, and with
the existence and operation of spiritual
beings, whether good or bad. Hence
we might justly say that the Catholic
Church beyond all other religious
systems is a 'spiritualist" organiza-
ton. But, as in the case of Modern
ism and Socialism, an otherwise un-
Objectionable or even desirable epithet
has been appropriated by an entirely
different and even hostile system of
teaching and practice, which is nova
days familiar to everybody under the
titles of "Spiritualism" or "Spiritism."
The history of this remarkable move
ment is interesting. The skepticism
engendered by the French philoso-
piers and encyclopedias at the close
of the eighteenth century, followed by
the hasty congratulations and AFRO
CANT assertions of SO many students
of physical science in the early part
of the eighteenth century, led to the
growth and wide diffusion of what is
known as "Materialism," which long
held sway in both scientific and popu-
lar literature, as well as in many of
the universities. There was time
when Materialism seemed to threaten
to absorb the whole world of science
and thought But the reaction inevi-
tably came Pure Materialism is so
essentially contrary to the profound
est instincts of the human race and
to the most venerable and persistent
traditional beliefs of every age and
race, that the conviction of the ex-
istence and power of spiritual agen-
cies forced it's way back into mems
minds.

External Control"

We are quite aware that a consid-
cradle part Of this modern Spiritism,
with it's mediums, seances, clairvoy-
ance, evocation of spirits, etc., is de-
monstrably made up of chicanery and
fraud. But such an admixture of mere
charlatanism does not preclude the
really preternatural, or even diabol-
ical, character of some of the pheno-
mena of more advanced Spiritism.
And whatever explanation, whether
natural or preternatural, be given of
such phenomena, there is no doubt
that the crucial evil, the specific
danger, of spiritualistic practices is
the eventual subsection Of the will
power to what is denominated "exter-
nal controT'-be that control diaboli-
cal or merely human. This control,
this surrender of the keys of the free
will, is the true source of the fright.
full evils to which Spiritualism in
evitably leads. You may ask with
some surprise why we should have
chosen such a subject as the present
upon which to address you in our
Pastoral. The reason is that it has
been borne in upon us by testimony
from many sides that the pernicious
cult of Spiritism is spreading to an
alarming extent in all classes of the
population, and even making head
way among Catholics. It has thus
appeared to us a timely and most
serious warning against the dangers
spiritual and even material, which
the adoption of spiritualistic beliefs
and practices involves. And this al
the more so, because the beginnings
are small and apparently harmless
A little dabbling, perhaps for amuse
ment, in some slight forms of occult
ism, leads to deeper interest and ar
ever-growing craving to know more
and see more, until the victim be
comes full adept and slave of the
cult.

SUNDAY AFTER EPIPHANY.

EPISTLE: For as In one
body we have many members,
but all the members have not
the same office: so we, being
many, are one body in Christ,
and every one members. one of
another in Christ Jesus our
Lord.
GOSPEL: And it came to
pass, that after three days they
found him in the temple sitting
in the midst of the doctors,
hearing them and asking them
questions. And all that heard
him were astonished at his wis
dom and his answers.

The Fallen Angels.

But the Church teaches us, not
only of their existence, but also of
their manifold activities, and of
their practical relations to and inter-
course with ourselves during our
mortal lives. In the first place, there
is no doubt that Almighty God makes
use of the vast hosts of those blessed
and happy spirits who share the felicity
of heaven, as His agents and mes
sengers in the government of Gre
alton. Hence they are properly
called angels" a Greek word signify
ing messengers" On the other hand,
there is no doubt that, according to
the mystery of Gods Providence, the
lost spirits, Lucifer and his host of
fallen angels, whom we call the devils
or demons, are allowed to exercise no
inconsiderabIe influence in the Gre
ation-perhaps, according to some of
the fathers, even over phenomena Of
nature but certainly in the spiritual,
and sometimes even the physical life
