ROME AND THE MARoNITEs.

The romantic history of the Maron-
ties was reviewed by Reverend T. F.
Cullen of Providence, Rhode Island, in
a lecture which he delivered few
weeks ago for the benefit of St.
Georges Church of that city.
The Maronites belong to the Syrian
race. In the East they number about
100000 and are located principally
around Mount Lebanon, though they
are also found in other parts of Syria,
in Palestine, Cyprus and Egypt. The
liturgical language is the ancient Syr-
lac and the Maronites take especial
pride in the fact that they celebrate
Mass in the very language which
Christ spoke while He was on earth,
as evidenced by some fragments of
His very words still preserved in the
text of the Gospels in Matt. XVII, 46,
and Mark V, Al. The Syriac is a
Semetic language closely related to
the Hebrew. AS the use of ancient
Hebrew died out after the Babylonian
captivity, the Syriac took it's place,
very much as Italian has supplement-
ed Latin through the Italian PENN
sula.
This was the situation at the time
of Christ's teaching and the foundation
of the Holy Church. Though in Syria
they are surrounded by Mohamme-
dams and Schismatics, they glory in
calling themselves Roman Catholics,
and the nation as whole has never
erred in faith or strayed in schism.
They call themselves Maronites, from
st. Maron, their patron, who settled
in Mount Lebanon, and in whose mem
DRY the monastery of st. Maron was
founded about the fifth century.
Clement XII, in his Bull of April Is,
1874, gave plenary indulgence to the
faithful who, on the ninth day of Feb.

the danger drew nearer and nearer
the poor mother drew her boy and
girl into her arms and prayed, "Oh,
Lord" she cried aloud, "be a wall
unto us, even as the waters of the
Red Sea were wall unto Thy people
on their right hand and on their left. "
She constantly repeated this prayer;
but her children, though sharing in
her danger, did not share in her
faith.
what do you mean, mother" they
said, "by a prayer such as that? 1t
seems absurd! How can God be a
wall to us?"
81 cannot tell you how, my chill
dren," the widow replied, "but I know
it is true! He was wall to His peo-
pie in the olden time, and He can be
so still; Oh, my children, mean to
trust in Him and to pray to Him con-
tinually," and so she did.
One evening the intense frost which
had prevailed seemed to moderate;
heavy clouds darkened the sky, and
snow began to fall. Thick and fast
did it descend all that night and the
next day, during which the widow
heard no sound but the snappings of
twigs and branches in the forest as
they gave way under the weight of
the snow. Again night fell, and again
the little family, after the usual pray
er, retired to rest. But during that
night they could not sleep; over and
above the swapping of snow-laden
branches they seemed to hear heavy
tramping sound-heavy, yet dull and
muffled What could it be? Tramp,
tramp, the whole night long, till as the
faint light of morning began to strug-
gle through the gray clouds the tramp
ing sound seemed to die away in the
distance.
The widow rose and opened her
door, but what was this? The door
way was blocked with snow, she could
see nothing. The snow had drifted
up and up, till it had covered the
humble dwelling to the very roof.
Protected by this wall of snow she
and her children had remained safely
all night, while on the other side of
the snowy defense fierce men had
marched past with hatred in their
hearts, ready to kill them if they had
known of the cottage. Ere that wall
of snow had melted away all danger
was over, and the enemy had passed.

THE WIDOWS FAITH.

When, in 1912, the army of Ma
poleon L was compelled to retreat
from Moscow, its march was marked
by terrible sufferings from hunger
and cold, and the hearts of the men
were very bitter within them.
1t happened that on the roadside in
the line of retreat there stood small
cottage inhabited by a poor widow
with her young son and daughter
All three were much alarmed when it
became known to them that the enc
my were not many miles away, and
that daily and hourly they were draw
ing nearer.
But nevertheless this poor woman
believed that the great God of heaven
had it in His power to save those who
trusted in him, however desperate
their position might seem to be. AS

THE CHILDREN'S HOUR.
HON E-HELPING

Anna May came home from the
kindergarten and showed her mother
the things that she had made. A
darning basket that was full of stock
ings stood between the two, and upon
this basket Anna May spread her
treasures. Mother paused in her
mending to look at them.
st like to do this BEST" Anna May
said, as she unfolded pink and green
paper mat woven in basket work.
"That is just the work am doing"
said mother.
Anna Mays eyes opened wide.
'Why, mother" she cried, you're
darning!"
"Yes," mother agreed. 'But see!"
She held a mended stocking close
beside the woven paper mat. Anna
May could see that the soft thread
that mother used was woven in and
out cross the worn place in the stock
ing just as her paper slips were WOW
en-; the tiny black squares showed in
mothers pattern just as the pink and
green squares showed in the paper
mat.
A lovely thought popped into Anna
Mays head! She had three brothers,
and there was only one mother to
darn for them all!
Mother" she begged, may learn
to darn? And then we could do
weaving together!"
That was the beginning of what
Anna May called her new kind of
kindergarten work, but what mother
declared was the best kind of home
helping

OUR PLACE HERE.

1t is important that each of us
should be convinced that he is just
where Providence has placed him. If
he has come to the place where he is
by the play of accidental forces, then
he may be haunted with the fear that
the next turn of those forces will car
ry him over the precipice of some
disaster and render his life meaning
less, and fate may laugh at his high
hopes of making himself worth while
to himself and the world. He breathes
his confidence in the words:
Thou com'st not to thy place by &C
cident,
1t is the very place God meant for
thee;
And shouldst thou there small scope
for action see,
Do not for this give room to discon-
tent"
He may be in very narrow field; the
world has a great many such, as con-
ventionally estimated. If the work he
is doing does not fit into some large
plan, he may be wasting his time in
giving attention to it. But there is
a sense in which each small brick in
a building carries in itself the respon-
sibility for the whole superstructure
above it. If it does not faithfully fill
it's little place, the great building is
impossible.
Faith gives man just such an es-
innate of his own life. 1t is little
place, but it is a part of large en-
terprise. God has divided up the tasks
and apportioned them around In the
total project one place is as essen
tial as another, just as in the links
of chain. Faith has the vision of
the whole chain, and requires fidelity
of each link. 1t shows that there is
nothing great except the chain and
the mind that planned it, and the
faithfulness that holds it together
The responsibility for the whole pro.
gram of Gods kingdom comes upon
the shoulders of the man of faith, and
he gathers himself together for a
mighty effort to sustain the little part
of it that is committed to him. His
fidelity in his small task is as mag
nificent in it's proportions as that OF
him who seems to be in. the large
place. Thus obedience, patience, hui
mility, fidelity and honest effort are
the product of the faith of him whose
resource is great principle.

LESSON XVI.
BREAD.

Remember thy bread and bake it
well, for he will not be kept we'll who
eateth his bread as dough-"
General Directions
For bread that requires no knead-
ing.
The liquids used may be water, po-
tato-water, rice-water, milk, or milk
and water. The water should be
boiled; the milk should be scalded.
The hot liquids should be added to
the salt, sweetening and shortening.
This should be cooled before the yeast
mixture is added.
One-Quarter yeast cake is allowed to
one pint of liquid if mixture is to rise
over night.
One-half yeast cake to one pint
liquid if mixture is set in the morn
ing.
One yeast cake to one pint liquid if
mixture is set in the morning and a
quick process is required. The mix
ture should be beaten thoroughly to
mix the ingredients and to enclose
air. 1t should be covered to prevent
a crust from forming. 1t should be
put into a warm place about 20 de-
grees until enough gas is formed to
make it rise to double its bulk. 1t
should be beaten the second time to
distribute the gas bubbles evenly, and
to make a fine-grained loaf. Well
creased pans sould be half filled with
the mixture.
The mixture should rise to double
it's bulk and no more, and then baked
in a hot oven As minutes or until
brown on all sides, and until hollow
sound can be produced when the loaf
is tapped with the finger.
When baked loaves should be placed
so that air can circulate freely around
them until cooled. They should be
put away unwrapped in a tin box OF
stone Jar.

Like all Your other little girls and
boys.
Goodnight! But ere my sleepy eyes

To keep me safe through the long
hours of sleep
Goodnight, dear Lord! -good-nigh
Goodnight! And when the shining
morn shall break
I'll know that You are standing in

Ready to take my hand and lead me
Through the long hours of another

Until white morning lights the world
