BAPTISM BY LAY PERSONS.

Well informed Catholics understand
how absolutely necessary is Baptism,
in order to obtain entrance into
Heaven
1t may be conceded as morally GER
tain, that unbaptized infants suffer no
sensible pain, such as is inflicted upon
those condemned for actual sin. 1t
may, also, be held as probable that
infants, dying without having passed
through the saving waters, exist dur
ing eternity, blessed with a certain
share of natural felicity. But, on the
other hand, they surely are deprived
forever of that ecstatic bliss, which
belongs to the regenerate, who alone
shall eternally see God face to face
in all His majesty, grandeur and
beauty.
No amount of mere natural happi-
ness can repair an injury so very
great as the loss of the Beatific
Vision. Therefore it is that infants
should be shielded from so grievous a
calamity, and to allow, through neg
ligence, a child to pass away without
receiving this saving sacrament is a
grievous offence.
The priest, under normal conditions,
is the proper minister for the ad-
ministration of baptism. But, in
cases where there is danger of death
before priest can be had, it is a
matter of duty for some bystander,
even child, if necessary, to perform,
on behalf of an unbaptized infant, or
of an unbaptized adult DESTROYS of re-
ceiving it, the sacred ceremony. Every
Catholic, young as we'll as old, should
learn how to baptize. There is no
telling at what moment occasion may
arise, demanding the employment of
such knowledge.
Water, of course, must be used; and
where at hand it should be conse-
Grated or blessed. But, in case of
emergency, any water that is pure
sufices, and there should be no dan
gerous delay in order merely to send
for holy water.
| We reproduce from the columns OF
the Little Crusader the following ex-
plicit statement of the requirements
for the certain administration Of this
saving sacrament.
'That a person may be really bap-
tized, and baptism be validity admin
istered, it is absolutely necessary that
the words constituting the form of
baptism should be accurately repeated,
whilst the water is being poured on
the head of the person to be baptized
If one important word of the form be

THE FEAST OF ST. ANTONY.

Extol with joyful melody
The mighty patron of our race,
Who to the Realms of jubilee
Ascends on high to Gods embrace.
Among the Seraph's chivalry
He bears, with heart unknown to
fight,
The badge of Lady Poverty,
Her truest love and valiant knight.
To save what Jesus blood redeemed,
He was resolved to shed his own;
For this how light each labor seemed,
In this no rest to him was known.
He raised his voice amid the throng,
And led to peace contending parts;
He smote with fear of God so strong
To fruitful penance sinful hearts.
Blest Antony, now reapest thou
Thy labor's harvest, joy and rest:
Defend the Church, set on her brow
A crown of saints, her children
blessed.
" H., o. F. M.

of vermin. If heart-cleaning could be
done up once, for all, then the Chris
tian might discharge all his graces,
and have an easy time of it. And just
because the assaults of subtle tempta-
tons are so constant, and the upris-
ings of sinful passions are so fire.
quent, and the task of keeping the
inward man what it ought to be is
so different, many one who begins
a religious life gets discouraged and
makes a wretched failure. The ques-
ton with every Christian is: Shall
these accursed Amalekites of tempta-
ton burn up all my spiritual posses
sions and overrun my soul? Shall
outward assaults or inward weakness
drive me to encouragement and dis
grace me before my Master and be-
fore the world? Or shall they drive
me to Jesus Christ, Who will give me
the victory?

THE OFFICIAL BOOKS OF THE
CHURCH.

These are chiefly five: the Missal,
the PoRtifical, the Ritual, the Bre-
wary, and the Psalmody. These con-
tain all the principal liturgical direc-
tions for divine services. The Missal
is used in the celebration of Mass,
the PoRtifical by Bishops in their
episcopal functions; the Ritual, by
priests in the administration of
Sacramento and the blessing of
SacrameRtals, the Breviary by Pope,
Bishops and priests, both secular and
regular, for the daily recital of divine
praises, and the Psalmody for the
chanters of the public and solemn
services of the Church. All these are
the most precious books, after the
Bible, which we have in the Church
of God. Hundreds of years were
needed to bring them to the perfec-
ton and comprehensiveness in which
we possess them today. All are
characterized by superhuman wisdom,
most elevated conceptions and choic-
est expressions for addressing, honor
ing and petitioning the Deity. All
are founded upon Holy Writ, on de-
crees of Popes and decisions of
Councils. All are published and used
in the Latin language for the sake of
uniformity and for preservation from
alterations.
Often has the remark been made,
why does the Church employ dead
language in her ceremonies and
divine services? If the Prayers and
the Ceremonies ordered by the
Church are so beautiful and so ele-
waiting, why not use the vernacular
that worshippers may hear and under
stand them? If all worshippers were
of one tongue this might be done.
Amongst the diversity of languages
it was necessary to choose one that
was fixed and not liable to change as
living languages do. A dead language
therefore suits the purpose better, and
such is the Latin language. Various
attempts have been made at times to
have the Mass said in the vernacular
but it never gained favor with the
devout and never could obtain the
sanction of the Church. The highest
and most solemn acts of worship.
such as the Mass will ever be con

STATUS OF DEVOTION TO THE
SACRED HEART.

Ia answer to several questions about
the cultus of the Sacred Heart a
writer in the current number of the
Ecclesiastical Review has the follow
ing to say:
The positive legislation of the
Church relative to public devotion in
homer of the Sacred Heart of Jesus
is embodied in her institution of the
feast of the Sacred Heart, in her pre-
scribing a canonical Office or prayer
for the use of the clergy, and in her
approval of certain pious exercises in
honor of the Sacred Heart, such as
visiting the Sacred Heart exposed for
public generation, visiting a church
or oratory where the feast of the
Sacred Heart is being celebrated,
novenas to the Sacred Heart, special
public services during the month of
June, solemn acts of conservation to
the Sacred Heart, the devotions of
the First Friday of each month, etc.
All these pious practices have her
official sanction in the indulgences
attacked to them by successive
Sovereign Pontiffs (Pius vi, VII, TX,
Lee XIII, Plus X).
The attitude of the Church towards
the devotion known as "the Nine Fri.
days in so far as this devotion is
based ON the Promises" recorded in
the biography of Blessed Margaret
Mary AlacoQue, is one of absolute re.
serve; that is to say, the Church.
while making no explicit declaration
in favor of the Promises" has not
rejected the claim of their authen-
ITCHY as a testimony of her beatifica-
ton. But only to the ordinary Friday
devotions in honor of the Sacred Heart
does the Church attach special in
dulgeAees.
We know of no ecclesiastical ruling
or privilege which definitely author
ICES the substitution of the first Sun
day for the first Friday in such a way
as to commute the gaining of the
regular iAdulgences for that day. But
since there are very many indulgencea
attached to devotions in honor of the
Sacred Heart, and as those devotions
are recommended for Sundays where
it is impossible to observe them on
Fridays, it appears desirable to en-
courage their observance on Sunday
This is especially true, when we re
call that there are no special in
dulgeRces attached to the observance
of the nine first Fridays, any more
than to the nine first Sundays
whether one belong to the League Of
the Sacred Heart or not.

A SAINT FOR THE WEEK
ST. ANTONY OF PADUA.

In 1921 st. Francis held a general
chapter of his Order at Assist; when
the others dispersed, there fingered
behind, unknown and neglected, a
poor Portuguese friar, resolved to ask
for and refuse nothing. Nine months
later, Fra Antonio rose under obedi-
ence to preach to the religious as
sembled at Forli, when, as the dis
course proceeded, the Hammer of
Heretics,' "the Ark of the Tesla
ment," "the eldest son of St. Francis y
stood revealed in all his sanctity,
learning, and eloquence before his
rapt and astonished brethren. De
voted from earliest youth to prayer
and study among the canons regular,
Ferdinand de Bulloens, as his name
was in the world, had been stirred by
the spirit and example of the first five
Franciscan martyrs to put on their
habit, and preach the Faith to the
Moors in Africa. Denied martyrs
palm, and enfeebled by sickness, at
the age of twenty-seven he was TAX
ing silent but merciless revenge upon
himself in the humblest Offices of his
community. From this obscurity he
was now called forth, and for nine
years France, Italy and Sicily heard
his voice, saw his miracles, and mems
hearts turned to God. Suddenly, in
1921, this brief apostolate was closed,
and the voices of children were heard
crying along the streets of Padua,
"Our father, ST. Antony, is dead" The
following year the church bells of Lis
bon rang without ringers, while at
Rome one of it's sons was inscribed
among the Saints of God.
One night, when ST. Antony was
staying with a friend in the city of
Padua, his host saw brilliant rays
streaming under the door of the
Saints room, and on looking through
the keyhole he beheld a little Child
of marvellous beauty standing upon a
book which lay open upon the table.
and clinging with both arms round
Antony's neck With an ineffable
sweetness he watched the tender ca.
resses of the Saint and his wondrous
Visitor. At last the Child vanished
and Fra Antonio, opening the door
charged his friend, by the love of Him
whom he had seen, to tell the vision
to no man. as long as he was alive.

FIFTH SUNDAY AFTER
PENTEcosT.

EPISTLE: For he that will
love life, and see good days, let
him refrain his tongue from evil,
and his lips that they speak no
guile. Let him decline from
evil, and do good; let him seek
after peace, and pursue it; be-
cause the eyes of the Lord are
upon the just, and his ears unto
their prayers, but the counter
ance of the Lord upon them that
do evil things.
GOSPEL: At that time, Jesus
said to his disciples, Except
your justice abound more than
that of the Scribes and Phari-
sees, you shall not enter into the
kingdom of heaven.

HOW NEWMAN WISHED TO DIE

20 my Lord and Savior, support me
in nay last hour in the strong arms
of Thy Sacraments, and by the fresh
fragrance of Thy consultations. Let
the absofving words be said over me,
and the holy oil sign and seal me,
and Thine own Body be my food, and
Thy Blood my sprinkling; and let my
sweet mother Mary breathe on me,
and my Angel whisper peace to me,
and my glorious Saints smile
upon me, that in them all, and through

perseverance, and die, as 1 desire to

Thy service, and in Thy love. Amen

THE SITUATION UNCHANGED.
Washington Attitude Continues to be
One of Patient Waiting.

Washington, Nov. 27.-There were
no developments in the Mexican stu
alton today, official dispatches re-
ceived being of routine character.
The attitude of the Washington
government continues to be one of
patient waiting and, so far as is
known, no immediate steps are in
contemplation.
Sir William Tyrrell, private secre-
tary to Sir Edward Grey, the British
foreign secretary, said goodbye to
President Wilson today. He will
leave Sunday for London.
During his visit here Sir William
has seen the President and Secretary
Bryan frequently and has been on
cordial terms with high government
officials generally. He has maintain
ed silence about his presence, declar-
Ing only that he came in no official
capacity.
The view held by those familiar
with the nature of the exchanges be-
tween Great Britain and the United
States is that the relations between
the two governments have been con-
tinuously friendly and that which
has been referred to as an estrange-
ment of relations is characteristized
by them as merely having been mis-
apprehension Of the purposes of each
country during the kaleidoscope
changes which affairs in Mexico re-
Gently were undergoing. The two
governments, 1t may be said, are now
working in close harmony.

Won't Mix With Business.
Henderson Gold Leaf.

Henderson Gold Leaf.
Vice President w. L. Parks Of the
Illinois Central Railway, has made
a ruling against the practice some
trainmen have of carrying photo
graphs of their wives, sweethearts,
babies or other dear ones in their
pockets or watch cases while on duty,
fearing that the trainmen while dot
ing on the photographs will have
their minds diverted from attention to
duty, at least for the time being, with
possible i'll consequences to the
trains they are operating. Mr.. Parks
says that while it may seem like a
small matter, that after all it is the
little things that count. At first this
may seem like not only a small mat
ter, but also a silly ruling on a great
railway system and many may give
it the laugh. Trainmen occupy re-
sponsible positions, and the slightest
diversion of attention from duty
might cause the most serious conse-
quences. A very thoughtful man
was once heard to remark that he did
not feel exactly safe on a passenger
train If the gallant young conduc-
tors sweetheart happened to be
aboard. 1t is a fact that persons who
habitually take their affairs Of the
heart" and sentimental matters
along with them during business
hours cannot render the best service,
no matter what line of business or
employment they may be in.
