Legislative and executive functions in
one person, in the Pope for the whole
Church and in the Bishop for the do
cese. Each, therefore, may dispense
in his own purely ecclesiastical law
and may delegate in definite matters
his dispensing power to others. We
say in purely ecclesiastical law When
the law of God is involved the condi-
tons of dispensation are not verified.
The legislative and the executive func-
tons are not fully united in one per-
son, neither does the executive in
clude virtually the legislative, nor is
there divine delegation even to the
Supreme Pontiff to dispense in such
matter.
Much of the matrimonial law is
purely ecclesiastical
AS for the fees paid by those who
get dispensations it seems strange
that while they are lawful everywhere
else, people should be offended at
finding them in the material ad.
ministration of ecclesiastical affairs.
Dispensations must mean the
existence of officials, who have a
right to live by their work, and why
should hundred Catholics, who ask
for no dispensations, support them for
the benefit of some one who does!
That those who get dispensations
should support the chancery that
gives them is from the man of the
worlds practical point of view, we will
not say common justice, but plain
common sense. Moreover, such fees
are very moderate Many dispense
ton is given gratis, especially in cases
of urgent need where the applicant ID
poor; and when the extremely light
expenses of the chancery have been
betrayed, the money left over goes to
works for the general good Of the
Christian people.
Lastly, the fee, whatever it may be
is no more the price Of the dispense
ton than fees paid in a secular cOurt
are the price of justice. Price in
cludes necessarily equivalence II
value. Therefore the thing bought and
its price must be capable OF being est
mated in the same order. This cannot
be either as regards justice or as re
CARDS dispensations. Moreover, wheI
things are for sale, he who has thu
price can demand what he would buy
and the motive of the seller to give
/ it is the offering of the fixed price
One might walk into any ecclesiastical
chancery with two dollars, or twt
hundred or two thousand, and demand
a dispensation in vain. One must Civ,
reasons enthusiastically valid, not ;
roll of bills. before his request win b
listened to.

A SAINT FOR THE WEEK.
ST. ATHANAsIUs. BISHOP.

Athanasius was born in Egypt to-
wards the end of the third century,
and from his youth pious, learned, and
deeply versed in the sacred writings,
as befitted one whom God had chosen.
to be the champion and defender of
His Church against the Arian heresy.
Though only a deacon, he was chosen
by his Bishop to go with him to the
Council of Nicea, A. ID. 325 There he
attracted the attention of all by the
learning and ability with which he de-
Tended the Faith. A few months later
he became Patriarch of Alexandria,
and for forty-six years he bore, often
well-nigh alone, the whole brunt of the
Arian assault He stood unmoved
against four Roman emperors; was
banished five times; was the butt of
every insult, calumny, and wrong the
Arians could devise, and lived in con-
slant peril of death. Though firm as
adamant in defence of the Faith, he
was meek and humble, pleasant and
winning in converse, beloved by his
flock, unwearied in labors, in prayer,
in notifications, and in zeal for souls
In the year 373 his stormy life closed
in peace, rather that his people would
have it so than that his enemies were
weary of prosecuting him. He left to
the Church the whole and ancient
Faith, defended and explained in writ
ings rich in thought and learning,
clear, keen and stately in expression.
He is honored as one of the greatest
of the Doctors of the Church.
On the refusal of the Saint to re-
store Arius to Catholic communion,
the Emperor ordered the Patriarch of
Constantinople to do so. The wretched
heresiarch took an oath that he had
always believed as the Church be-
lieves; and the patriarch, after vainly
using every effort to move the EN-
peror, had recourse to fasting and
prayer, that God would avert from the
Church the frightful sacrilege. The
day came for the solemn entrance of
Arius into the Church of Sancta
Sophia. The heresiarch and his party
set out glad and in triumph. But be-
fore he reached the church death
smote him swiftly and awfully, and
the dreaded sacrilege was averted

productive of true holiness of life and
purity of character. There
has probably not been an innocent
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 full
filment of the assured prophecy of the
Israelite maiden, He that is mighty
hath magnif1ed me, and holy is His
Name"
Nor is there any exaggeration here.
1t is almost impossible to exaggerate
either the influence of the Christian
woman upon her husband, her
brothers, and her sons; or again, of the
influence of Mary upon the Christian
woman. The mother is the first edu-
Gator of her children, and Mary is the
educator of the Catholic mother.
Among us Mary is held up as the
model of all womankind and of all the
phases of womanly life. Her career
is put before her sex as the young
girl in the Temple, as the spouse of
Joseph, the Mother of Jesus, the
Dolorous Mother, the Mother of the
Apostles and of the Church, the
Queen of angels and of men. Our
women reverence her as maiden,
mother, martyr, queen and protectress.
In all their own phases and circum-
stances and trials of life they are
encouraged to revere Mary, to have
recourse to her, to admire and, ac-
cording to their capacity, to initiate
her character and her actions. This
is the revelation of God to woman
woman who is at once the daughter
of Eve and of Mary.

HOW TO RESIST TEMPTATION.

Temptation is trial that all must
undergo, says writer in the Provi-
dence Visitor. One man says: am
too busy to be tempted. Agreed, if
prayer is your business; though even
in prayer one is not quite exempt.
Other occupations, one and all, are
easily hindrances to us in our conflict.
Foremost among our temptations
are the exhalations and the oozings
Apostle the concupiscence of the
flesh and the concupiscence of the
eyes," These come first in order
among our miseries. But next to the
sting of the flesh, the worst evil of
life is the encumbrance of self-in-
terest, which the Apostle in the same
text calls the worlds pride of life"
| q John ii 16). Thoughtful of God
and vigilant of ones surroundings
here is the mind and the hand that
either wards off or shakes off tempta-
ton of any kind whatsoever Among
the hermits, the Abbot Isaac said,
that not only does God follow up
temptations by the bestowal of favors,
but He goes beforehand with
abundant graces to enable us to re
iect them. The sage admonishes us:
LET thy eyes look straight on, and
let thy eyelids go before thy steps.
Make straight the paths of thy feet"
prov. iv %, 26). Straight onward
to God; eyes and hands and feet
straight forward to God; heart and
soul fixed unalterably on God. Herein
prayerful habit is rightly known
1t is not a mopish refuge from the
work of life, but the right hand OF
the courageous champion of the
Lord
For those who have made some
progress in religion, St. Teresa's
prayer is appropriate: Give us, C

JESUS APPEARS TO HIS MOTHER

The vision of our Lord in this ma
jestic splendor as He appeared to
His Mother is the theme of one of
Father Faber's beautiful hymns:
All me! what wondrous change is this:
What thrembling floods of noiseless
light:
Jesus before His Mother stands,
Jesus all beautiful and bright!
He comes. He comes: and will she
run
With freest love her Child to greet
He came! and she, His creature, fell
PROSTATE at her Creators Feet.
He raised her up; He pressed her
head
Gently against His wounded Side;
He gave her spirit strength to bear
The sight of Jesus Crucified.
From out His Eyes, from out His
Wounds
A power of awful beauty shown;
Oh, how the speeches. Mother gazed
Upon the glory of her Son!
His crimson Wounds, they shone
like suns,
His beaming Hand was raised tc
bless;
The sweetness of His voice hat
hushed
The angels into silentness.
Oh let not words be bold to tell
What in the Mothers heart wa'
done,
When for moment Mary saw
The unshrouded Godhead of he,
Son.

THE ASCENSION.

After the resurrection of Our Lord
from the dead, He remained on earth
for several weeks, appearing fire.
Quently to the apostles and disciples,
instructing them and strengthening
their faith in His divinity. At last
when He was about to ascend to His
heavenly Father He assembled many
of them together for His. last appear
ance in the flesh. The place where
he assembled them is not minutely re-
corded, but was on the Mount of
Olives, writes Geikie in his Life OF
Christ. 1t was the last time they were
to see Him. He had prepared them,
as far as their dulness made possible,
for His leaving them, and had fitted
them to receive the gift of the Spirit,
which, within a few days, would
illuminate their intellects and hearts.
He wished, however, to leave them
in such a way that they should not
think he had simply vanished from
them, and wait for his present reap
pearance. He would show them, as
far as it could be shown, that He re-
turned from the earth to His Father;
that God took Him to Himself as He
had taken Elijah. They would be
able to tell men, when they asked
where He now was, that they had
seen Him leave the world, and pass
through the skies to the eternal king
dom, in His human body, to sit down
at the right-hand of God. The thought
He lives: He is with the Father!
was henceforth, to be the stay and
10y of his followers in all ages.
We know not with what last part
ing words He let them see He was
now finally to leave them. All that is
told us is, that He gave them His
blessing, with uplifted hands. Step
by step, He had raised their concep-
tions nearer the unspeakable grandeur
of His true nature and work. At tirst
the Teacher, He had, after time, by
gradual disclosures, revealed Himself
as the Son of God, yelled in the form
of man; and now, since His cruel
fixion and resurrection, He had taught
them to see in Him the Messiah,
exalted to immortal and divine
majesty, as the conqueror of death
and the Lord Of all.
The transcendent miracle which
closed His earthly communion with
His chosen ones is most fully narrated
by ST. Luke:
when He had spoken these things,
while they were looking at Him, He
was taken up into heaven, and cloud
received Him out of their sight
that cloud which symbolized the
presence of God And as they were
gazing earnestly into the heavens, as
He assembled, behold two men stood
by them, in white apparel, and said
to them, "Ye men of Galilee, why
stand We gazing into the heavens?
This same Jesus, who is even now
taken from you into heaven, will
come, in the same way as We have
seen Him co.
Earth, thou grain of sand on the
shore of the Universe of God; thou
Bethlehem amongst the princely cities
of the heavens; thou art, and re-
mainest, the Loved One amongst ten
thousand suns and worlds, the Chosen
of God! Thee will He again visit, and
then thou wilt prepare throne for
Him, as thou gavest Him mange1
cradle; in His radiant glory wilt thou
rejoice, as thou didst one drink His
blood and His tears, and mourn His
death! On thee has the Lord great
work to completes"

A Model for All Women.

1t is almost universally agreed, even
by many who have not the full light
of Catholic faith, writes Canon Shee-
han in his volume, Mariae Corona,
that the Blessed Virgin occupies a
large part of the designs of God and
in the economy of His Church-and
that, quite apart from her ministry
and prerogatives as Mother of the
Redeemer, she holds very peculiar
and important place in the worldwide
organization that sprang from the
wounded side of her Son on Calvary.
The fact that she was the divinely-
appointed instrument of the Incarna-
ton in heaven; but it has also given
her (apart from the glory of the
divine maternity distinct vocation
and mission to the children of men.
And just as the Incarnation is, as it
were, repeated in the sacrifice Of the
Mass, never ceasing to be a fountain
of grace and mercy to the faithful so
the maternity of Mary is ever fruitful
in it's symbolism and far-reaching
influence in the realization of perfect
womanhood, which before her time
seemed to be but a half suppressed
revelation, or even the idle dream OF
ambitious weakness. Woman" says
very ancient author, "at any epoch
of her life was always considered as
a mirror before the establishment Of
that immortal code which has en-
franchised man, and placed the woman
and the slaves on terms of equality
with him" And, selling with divine
insight on his idea, the Church a
once adopted our Blessed Lady as he
type of all the perfection to which
it was desirable that woman shoulC
attain.
AS a witness to the admission o
Protestant thinkers on this subject,
may quote the words of John Ruskin
which are all the more remarkable, al
his mind, which was trained in thu
narrowest school of Scotch Calvinism
had little natural sympathy will
Catholic principles and ideals. HI
says: ITO the Protestant mind tn,

a FEW WORDS ON DIsPENsA-
TIoNs.

So far from being in it
self an abuse the dispensing power
is an essential function Of supreme
authority, writes Rev. Henry Woods,
s. J., in America" To be able to
make law and not to be able to ex-
cuse from its application under proper
and useful conditions is an evident
defect. Parents, heads of colleges
schools, etc, dispense continually
from their regulations, and no one
finds 1t unreasonable. On the con
trary, most of us remember the in
conveniences that arose from The
rigidity Of the laws OF the Modes and
