REVERENCE IN CHURCH.

One of the distinguished marks be-
tween Catholics and our separated
brethren is the reverence which we
show in church. Not only is the Cath
olic church a place wherein to wor-
ship God, it is the abiding place of
Jesus Christ in the sacrament of love-
When, therefore, we enter a church,
however humble and unpretentious it
may be, we forget it's poverty and re-
member only that within it's taberna-
Gle dwells the sovereign Lord of
heaven and earth, the God who made
all things out of nothing, the Re-
deemer, Who offered up His awful
sufferings and death to save our souls
from eternal damnation. Yet, some
times in church we act as if we forgot
in whose presence we are. 1t is not
an uncommon thing to witness people
indulging in gossip, smiles, and other
indications of levity. In all our
churches these regrettable incidents
may be witnessed Ladies in leaving
church after Holy Mass gossip and
nod to friends while walking down the
aisles, and recently in local church
an usher might have been observed
chewing gum while taking up the col
lection. Actions like these display
gross disrespect for the house of God,
where only the greatest reverence
should be manifested. In the church,
friends and acquaintance should be
ignored. We should come with but
one purpose, to adore and glorify God
in the sacrament of the holy euchar-
list, and all persons and worldly affairs
should be blotted from the mind. An
other unseemly sight may be frequent
ly observed at the termination of the
Mass. A number of people are invari-
ably on their feet, ready to rush out
of church even before the priest has
left the sanctuary. 1t would seem as
if such people begrudged to God the
one hour in the week in which they
are bound to serve Him under pain of
mortal sin. No Catholic should leave
his seat till the priest has departed
from the sanctuary. This unseemly
haste is not matter of urgency, for
the hurried ones may be later found
on the sidewalk, pipe in mouth and
deep in baseball or other gossip. Let
every Catholic show by his or her rev.
erent demeanor in church that there
is a strong realization of the presence
of Jesus on the altar. Let them all
wait till the celebrant has left the
sanctuary before rushing out from the
house of God.

WORTH REMEMBERING.

1t is fraud to conceal fraud.
By falling before God, we rise to-
wards Him.
Think more of giving than of get
ting, and give.
Sympathize with suffering, and seek
to relieve it.
Do not notice all you see, nor heed
all you hear.
Recall the hasty word before it
passes the lips, and keep it.
Assume there is a pathway of God
to every heart, and seek to find it.
mo prayer" says st. Augustine, lis
more beautiful than Dec Gratias."
He who gives too much attention
to the business Of other people is
surely neglecting his own.
The darkest shadows of life are
those which man makes himself
when he stands in his own light
Sometimes mans failures do more
good to the world and his own cause
than his best successes.
There are three things which never
return, time, spoken word, and a
neglected opportunity.
Strive to live in a perpetual readi-
ness to die, and this you will attain
if you learn to love Our Lords Pres
ence now.-Cardinal Manning.
No man need ever expect to reach
any degree of perfection save by
means of the action of the Holy Eu-
charist on his soul-St. Denis.
Maintain a holy simplicity of mind,
and do not smother yourself with a
host of cares, wishes and longings,
under any preteXt.-St. Francis de
Sales.
Decision never becomes easier by
postponement, while habit grows
stronger every day. Common sense
as we'll as conscience says choose
this day."

THE SIGN AND THE PROOF.

The only way to make any good i'm
preston in the world is by practicing
those winning virtues that are signs
and proofs of our genuine religion.
No man need pretend to be Catholic
who does not love his neighbor; no
man need pretend to be Christian
who is not kind and helpful to his
neighbor; no man need pretend to love
God supremely who is not humble OF
heart and modest of demeanor
There is the sign; there is the proof
And the reason why the Church is not
more loved is because she has so many
counterfeit children; SO many children
who pretend to love God, and who are
not genuinely charitable, who are not
humble, who are not modest, who are
not kind.

WHAT THE PARROT SAID.

This story is about girl, but it will
do boys quite as much good to read it.
The Parrots remarks would apply
quite correctly to one or two boys
know.
Minna and Lena were twins, but you
would scarcely have thought them
even sisters-they were so little alike
Minna had bright, happy expression;
but Lena's face, though it was the
prettier of the two really, always had
disconnected scowl upon it, which
made nobody want to look at her a
second time.
"Why are you looking SO miserable,
Lena?" asked her governess, coming
into the school room one holiday, and
finding her sitting by herself with her
elbows on the table, and looking very
dismal.
Because nobody loves me-" answer
ed Lena gloomily; everybody likes
Minna and wants to play with her,
but nobody cares for me-"
Nonsense said her governess
briskly; put on your hat and go out
into the fresh air. l do not wish you
to stay indoors"
So very sulkily Lena was obliged to
obey, and went out into the big gar
den where the other girls were play
ing.
Come and have a swing" called
Minna
do come and play at being rob-
bers: we have such a good cave in
the shrubbery," cried another. But
Lena pretended not to hear, and went
gloomily out into the meadow beyond
the garden.
An old man sat there under tree
making baskets. He had a large
black box beside him, and grey Par
rot sat perched on the lid and cooked
its head on one side, looking inquisi-
lively at Lena as the little girl drew
near.
She stood for a minute looking at
them, when suddenly the Parrot said,
sharply:
Dear! dear! What a black cloud
between me and the sunshine"
what does it mean?" asked Lena,
forgetting her sulks in her surprise.
ASK the Parrot" answered the old
man, going on with his work.
What do you mean?" asked Lena,
then, looking at the Parrot.
Something sulky and ill-tempered
has just come along" answered that
wise bird; land it gave me cold
SILVER all down my back to the very
topmost tip of my longest tail
feather"
81 suppose you mean ME-" ex-
claimed Lena angrily, with very red
face.
Your supposition is absolutely cor
rect; I do replied the Parrot with
much politeness.
'Then you are very rude bird!"
said Lena Indignantly.
.Ha! ha! ha! What an excellent
joke!" laughed the Parrot.
why don't you teach your bird
better manners?'' inquired Lena, turn
ing to the old man, but he only
laughed and looked at the Parrot, and
the Parrot looked at him, and then
went off into a regular fit of laugh
ing that made Lena feel quite furious.
81 wish cat would come along!"
she said quite spitefully.
Really" observed the Parrot; 81
wonder why?"
But Lena was not going to explain.
Il have quite enough to make me
look miserable went on Lena. 'sYou
would be miserable and feel unhappy
If nobody loved you"

A HEALTHY HABIT.

One of our noted educators recent
ly declared: "Of all the curious traits
which we observe in the young people
given to our care l would draw atten-
ton to the passing of strict honesty.
We may not close our eyes to the I'M
pleasant fact that in 25 years smart
ness which is so often but impudent
trickery, has ousted certain fine things
from youths ideals. l do not mean
that all our boys are actively dishon-
est but they are less punctilious about
honesty than they should be-
No other virtue is of more intrinsic
moral worth than that of absolute
honesty. Upon it rests the great
force, Character, and without Char
acter no race of men or code of
thought may live. Honesty means
soundness through and through, an
absence of pretence, a wholesome,
healthy condition that renders impos-
sible the telling of falsehoods, the
pilfering in hundred small ways of
things or honors that do not belong
to one.
Thou shalt not steaP-so runs one
of the commandments that Moses re-
ceived for us. Thou shalt not steal'
yet many who obey that law to the
letter break it in the spirit. For
though they would not touch neigh
boris purse nor property, they have
no hesitation about stealing other
things from him, his ideas, his am
billions, his honor and reputation.
We all know the anecdotes that fly

tive smiles and a cold silence or two

ton and set innocent men upon the

do unto others as We would that
they should do unto you," is a part of
the old and golden rule and every
time we break it we lose something
of moral wholesomeness since truth
and love depend for perfection upon
honesty. A striking instance is told
relative to the sterling honesty of a
Detroit workingman.
Late one Saturday night as he left
the store where he had been "shop
ping for his wife he stepped upo1
a rolled-up handkerchief in which 6
$40 bill was pinned. No one saw him
pick up the treasure, there were ne
marks on the handkerchief and NJ

place certain little extras" before his
sick wife. But he went straight t.
a news Office, paid for full advertise
ment and five days later turned the
handkerchief and bill over to theil
original owner, poor old Polish
woman. In one of the ways in which
stories of such things get around sew
eral of his fellow-workers heard Of

ten leads to embezzlement, larceny
and suicide, for these are the fruits of
speculation when it becomes disease
But l prefer to put my argument
against gambling upon the broader
ground that it is, in all cases. demon
alizing influence, whether the gambler
wins or loses"
Speculation makes but few rich and
many poor.
If persons who are so fond of get
ting something for nothing would only
stop and consider the matter carefully
they would realize that they can enjoy
the same sensation by saving money
and letting it earn compound interest,
because, in a way, that is getting some
thing for nothing. The money you
have worked for works for you, and
when you have enough of it at work
you can stop working yourself if you
want to do so.
The surest "sure thing is savings
bank account. 1t is better to have that
to fall back upon than to take chances
on something that probably will take
away all your resources. There is no
thrift in chance.
Don't gamble, save.

THE ABsuRDITY OF FRETTING.

There is one absurdity which is
everywhere underestimated, and too
much overlooked in valuation of char
acter. 1t is the absurdity of fretting.
1t is common as air, as speech-so
common that; unless it rises above
it's usual monotone, we do not even
observe it. Watch any ordinary COM
ing together of people, and see how
many minutes it will be before some
body frets-that is, makes more or less
complaining statements of something
or other, which probably everyone in
the room, or in the train, or at the
street corner, it may be, knew before
and probably nobody can help. Why
say anything about it? 1t is cold, it is
hot, it is dry, somebody has broken an
appointment, ill-cooked a meal;
stupidity or bad faith somewhere has
resulted in discomfort. There are
plenty Of things to fret about.

Nobody is likely to love you if you
go about with sulky face" returned
the Parrot, neatly combing out its
wing-feathers one by one with it's
curved beak Take my advice and
look pleasantly at people"
And / should like to know why
should look pleasantly at people?"
asked Lena scornfully; people don't
look pleasantly at me-
THAT is because they just reflect
your ill-tempered expression like so
many looking glasses, said the Parrot,
nodding its head sagely, and regard
ing her with sharp black eyes. "Try
looking amiable."
Anything else?" asked Lena, wish
ing to be what grown-ups call "sar-
CASTLE" but the Parrot didn't mind in
the very least.
Besides you know" went on that
sage bird, you'll me
but you have no idea-how ahem!-
downright ugly you look when you are
in a bad temper!"
ooh! you are rude bird! The very
rudest bird I've ever Scent" cried
Lena.
mo; I'm only remarkably truth
full one," replied the Parrot composed
ly; "but-poor thing-you have no
father or mother or sister to care for
you! No comfortable home, no nice
meals, no warm bed, no tidy clothes,
no holidays, no"
you are not truthful bird at ALL"
interrupted Lena in great indignation;
you know nothing whatever about me.
Why, I have every one of those very
things that you say I haven't got!"
Dear mel" said the Parrot; what
lot of blessings you have to make
yourself miserable about"
And somehow Lena couldn't find
anything to say.
Then the old man picked up the box
and the finished baskets; and as they
went away, the Parrot, sitting on the
old mans shoulder, looked back and
cried:
"You had better take my advice"
And, on thinking matters carefully
over, Lena came to the conclusion that
she would

"SCIENTIFIC"-AM MISLEADING AD
JECTIVE.

The Rev. Edmund T. Shanahan, S.
T. D., in a second paper on "Blindfold-
ing the Mind" the Catholic World,
May) warns his readers to beware of
the word scientific" which is so much
in favor. Writing of an exponent of
the theory of evolution, DR.. Shanahan
says
The gap in the scientific evidence,
between what is first and what is
only primitive, does not deter him in
the least. He proceeds to fill in the
gap with highly embroidered tale,
which he says, the scientific magma
ton" authorizes him to construct.
This adjective scientific" will bear
careful watching 1t lends false air
of worth and responsibility to the no.
toriously unreliable noun with which
it is thus made to associate; and ii
enables the author surreptitiously to
palm off on the unsuspecting and un
critical reader, in the name of science
an entire system of theoretical philoso
ply, for which the former affords nc
warrant or foundation.
The man, imagined and portrayed
by scientists of this class, never was
primitive creature at all, declares
| DR.. Shanahan:-
| He is modern of the moderns, made
in the image and likeness of his re
cent makers: his speech, lineament'
and limitations betray him. Not sucI
