less and without fruit, l venture to
say, says Lallemant, it is only for
want of preparation; for if we prepare
ourselves for them as we ought, we
should soon be holy. The reason of
it is that the causes act always &C
cording to the disposition of the SUBJ
ject upon which they operate. Thus
the Blessed Sacrament produces diff
ferent effects, because it does not find
the same disposition everywhere. If
you prepare yourself little, it will
produce little; if you bring much
preparation for it, it will produce
more. The larger the vessels are, the
more water they receive from the
fountain; nay, even more at a single
time than a shell would receive in a
hundred. So it is with this source
and fountain of graces The more
loving you are the better preparation
you will make, and the greater will
be your capacity for receiving.

"A SAINT FOR THE WEEK.
ST. GERMANUs, BISHOP.

In his youth Germanus gave little
sign of sanctity. He was of noble
birth, and at first practised the law
at Rome. After a time the Emperor
placed him high in the army. But
his one passion was the chase. He
was so carried away as even to re.
tain in his sports the superstitions of
the pagan huntsmen. Yet it was re
vealed to the Bishop Of Auxerre that
Germanus would be his successor, and
he gave him the tonsure almost by
main force. Forthwith Germanus be
came another man, and making over
his lands to the Church, adopted 2
life of humble penance.' At that time
the Pelagian heresy was laying Eng.
land waste and Germanus was chosen
by the reigning Pontiff to rescue the
'Britons from the snare of Satan. With
ST. Lupus he preached in the fields
and highways throughout the land
At last near Verulam he met the here
tics face to face, and overcame them
utterly with the Catholic and Roman
Faith. He ascribed this triumph tc
the intercession of St. Alban, and of.
fered public thanks at his shrine. To
wards the end of his stay, his old
skill in arms won over the Picts and
Scots the complete but bloodless

Saint, routed the enemy with the Pas.
chal cry. Germanus visited England a
second time with st. Severus, and
dealt the heresy it's death-blow. He
died A. D. 448, while intereceding with
the Emperor for the people of Brit
tany.
st. Germanus knew we'll that the
best means to protect the British
against heretical teachers would be q
sound and careful instruction in Cath
Ollie truth. On his second visit, there
fore, he established seminaries
throughout the land. These schools
soon became famous; those of Ross
and Hentlan ON the Wye in Hereford
shire alone contained one. thousand
scholars. Among the many Saints
educated by them were S. Maglorius
Malo and David. "By means of these
schools" says st. Bede, "the Church
continued ever afterwards pure in the
faith and free from heresy."

tain no slight knowledge of divine
beatitude. In the Scriptures, as in a
mirror, a man can see himself, and
what he is, and whittier he is going.
Regular reading of the Scriptures elu-
cidates all things, it instils fear of
hell, and lifts UP the hearts of the
devout reader to heavenly joys. He
who desires to be ever in the company

st. Anthony of the Desert was wont

Heaven, and st. Charles Borromeo

such as st. Cecilia, for instance, used
to carry a copy of the Gospel in their
bosoms and never allow anything but
death to part it from them.

A SCHOOL OF VIRTUE.

Holy Communion is more than a
remedy. 1t is, says Pere Eymard, a
strengthening power, aiding us to be-
come good, virtuous, and holy. 1t is,
indeed, difficult thing to acquire a
Christian virtue. A virtue is a quality
of Jesus with which. we must clothe
ourselves. 1t is divine education,
the manners of Jesus in us. Now, in
Holy Communion, Jesus forms Himself
in us, becomes our true Master. By
His loving inspirations, He awakens
the gratitude that we owe Him as to
our Benefactor, the desire to remem.
BILE Him, the thought of the happiness
there is in initiating Him, and living
of His life. What charms virtue has
in the school of Communion! How
easy is humility when we have com
municated, when we have seen the
God of Glory humbling Himself so fal
to enter heart so poor, a mind sc
ignorant, body so miserable. How
easy is gentleness under the action Of
the tender kindness of Jesus giving
Himself to us in the sweetness of His
Heart! How beautiful the dear neigh

CATHOLICS AND THE BIBLE.
Popes and Saints Have Urged tn,
Reading of the Scriptures.

Catholics are often puzzled what to
reply to the ever repeated charge that
their Church forbids them to read the
Word of God. 1T is so absurd, and it
is so false" That is what most Cath
olics will be prompt to answer. And
perhaps the mischievous SANDER de-
serves no more. Still it is a good and
serviceable to remember some facts
that prove how baseless this charge
is, Bishop John S. Vaughan has re-
minded us of some of them in letter
to the Universe. Catholics are not
only allowed to read the Bible, but
they are strongly urged to do so.
1t is a we'll known fact that one of
the most important efforts made by
Leo XIII. during his long reign was to
promote greater love and esteem of
the Holy Scriptures. Not only did he
urge upon ecclesiastical students and
professors the need of the profounder
and more critical and exhaustive
study of the Hebrew and Greek texts,
but he also strongly recommended the
Inspired Volume to the devout use
and attentive consideration of the
faithful in general
In earnest and loving words he ex-
horted his 250,000,0O0 of spiritual chill
dren, scattered throughout every land,
to familiarize themselves more and
more with the Written Word of God.
In fact, so anxious was he that his adj
vice should be laid to heart that he
granted to everyone who should spend
one quarter of an hour in reading or
meditating on the inspired page spe-
cial indulgence.
In his whole attitude towards the
Holy Book the Holy Father was, after
all, only initiating the greatest of the
saints. Listen, for example, to st.
Basil: There should be assiduous and
constant reading and meditating on
the Holy Scriptures, in order to bring
out and to impress upon the mind the
majesty of the hidden truths therein

We are too much in the habit of
looking at falsehood in it's darkest as
sociations and through the color of its
worst purposes. That indignation
which we profess to feel at deceit abb
solute, is indeed only at deceit mali
cious. We resent calumny, hypocrisy,
and treachery, because they harm us,
not because they are untrue. Take
the detraction and the mischief from
the untruth, and we are little offended
by it: turn it into praise, and. We may
be pleased with it.-RuskiRl
