HERoD's RESISTANCE TO GRACE.

After considering the rich rewards
of the Magi for their correspondence
with divine grace, Father Chaignon in
his "Meditations" turns our eyes to
the darker side of the picture, con-
sidering the punishment for resistance
to divine grace as illustrated in the
career of Herod.
BY following the celestial light, the
Wise Men acquired virtue after virtue,
he writes; they came to the intimate
knowledge and finally to the ever
blessed possession of God. Herod, in
needing not the same light, commits
crime after crime; from one abyss he
falls into another, until he reaches the
last of all by final impenitance. The
demon of jealousy leads him on to
measures of excessive cruelty. He is
told that the one he pursues is the
Messias, the promised Redeemer of
Israel The world must go without
Redeemer if He be Herod's rival. He
has recourse to cunning and deceit in
order to find Him. He says he wishes
to adore Him; in his heart he means
to kill Him. No sooner has he found
out that the Wise Men have deceived
him than he throws off the mask of
hypocrisy, the last vestige of human
ity, and INDUCES his mad fury: He
orders the slaughter of all the little
ones; he does not spare his own. A
whole country is reeking with blood,
so is his own palace. Nothing matters
provided he does not lose his scepter.
A cruel disappointment awaits him
the King whom he wishes to destroy
is the only one saved. Herod him.
self, before the year is over, dies by
the hand of God in the widest despair.
John viii 21.) Thus spoke the Lord
for those people who shut their eyes
against manifest truths, and to such
an end do those come who abuse the
grace of God. But what is the cause
of ones abusing the grace OF God?
An evil inclination which at the be-
ginning is not corrected with firmness
and perseverance. How important,
then, it is to practise interior NORTH
cation. Give way to our passions, and
all is lost No consideration what
ever, neither of God nor of man,
neither the multiplicity nor the
enormity of sin not even the terrible
punishment which is in store for him,
will deter such man from his evil
way. Let us, therefore, wage war
against ourselves. The fight may be
hard, but when it is over we shall
have peace. Let us not be afraid.
After all it must be short-only a few
brief years of struggle, and then
eternal rest

ARMoR OF THE INNOCENT CHILD

Cardinal O'Connell, in his recent
pastoral, urges that the Watchful care
of parents for their children be sup
plemented by the example of frequent
Communion. He writes:
If Catholic parents are to keep their
children from being contaminated by
false principles and corrupted by bad
example, they must conscientiously
watch over the reading and above all
over the associations of their children.
Christian fathers and mothers, in
nocence is the strongest armor for
your children. Protect that at all
costs. Like the angel with the fam
ing sword at the gate of Eden's Gar
den, you must stand at your thresh-
old to keep far from it any influence
which could stain the purity of the
hearts of your children. blessed are
the clean of heart, for they shall see
God" Not minute knowledge of the
evil and it's consequences, but love
of God and of that virtue which brings
the soul near to God will carry them
safely through the difficulties and
temptations of life.
Let them not walk with their eyes
fixed upon the slime of earth, but as
becomes the children of the Light,
with their eyes raised to the heavens
where dwells the King Whom they
serve, Who will one day be their re-
ward.
Frequent HOLY Communion.
And because such purity is the
natural virtue of angels rather than
of men, bring your children often
to feed upon the Bread of Angels.
Suffer the little children to come
unto me, and forbid them not" Ere
quent Holy Communion is the divine
preservative which will keep your in
nocent lambs from the contamination
of the worlds corruption. He Who
was born of a Virgin mother, Who
feedeth among the lilies, Who out of
the filth of a pagan world drew genera
lions of chaste souls, knows how to
inspire in the young heart love of
purity and He has the power to keep
it pure
That you may encourage your chill
dren to frequent Communion, Chris
tian parents, first set the example
yourselves. Give your children the
example of sincere and earnest prep.
aration for the Banquet of Divine
Love- Let frequent Holy Communion
be family practice. Nothing will SO
surely or so quickly create in your
homes the atmosphere OF the home OF
! Nazareth.

"HOW SHALL | GO ABOUT BE-
COMING A CATHOLICW

Many non Catholics who attend
Catholic services or hear about them
feel at times an inexplicable inclina-
ton towards the Catholic Church.
How shall l go about it," they will
say to themselves. The first step to
take is to approach priest. Go to
the rectory in the parish you live in
and inquire for one of the fathers.
But l am not courageous enough to
do that" perhaps you will say. What
courage is required? The priest, like
his Divine Master, considers you lost
sheep. He rejoices, and accordingly
will receive you with all possible
kindness and consideration. How
ever, should you be so diffident as to
be unable to visit a priest personally,
make known your desire to Cath
Ollie friend. He will see the priest
for you and help you many ways to
overcome your timidity and take the
first step, that of being introduced to
priest. This done, all the rest is
easy.
The priest will consult your conven-
fence as best he can. He will name a
day and hour each week satisfactory
to you on which to meet him for in
struction. And what is the instruc.
ton? He will teach you the principal
truths revealed by God which every
Christian is bound to believe. He will
explain to you the moral laws as laid
down in the Ten Commandments. He
will tell you about the value OF
prayer; what the seven sacraments
are, and how necessary they are fol-
your souls welfare. He will teach
you what you must avoid and what
virtues you must practice to save
your soul. He will en1ighten your
mind on the ceremonies and devotions
of the Catholic Church. He is pre-
pared to answer all your difficulties
The more frank you are with him
in this matter, the more he is pleased
And then what will he do? Will he
presume upon friendship so as to force
me into the Catholic Church? Not
at all. That would be marring g
grand work already begun. He re
spects your free will more than eve1
by the explicit question, care yor
willing?" If you are, be prepared tt
make a profession of faith.
A word more to you, my deal
friends who are outside of the Roman
Catholic Church. If you feel a long
ing towards the Catholic Church, lei
nothing hinder you from studying it, bt
it fear or wealth or human respect
God has put that thought into YOU
mind. 1t is special grace. Do no
resist it. Remember, you have al
immortal soul. 1t is a spirit; it can
not die 1t is the most precious
jewel you possess, more precious
than the combined wealth of thi'
world. AS Incarnate Wisdom says
What shall it profit man if h

loss of his own soul?" Are you nov
convinced that your precious jewel il
in the proper safe?

 The loyal Britons of Vancouver have fought off for three months mere shipload of their emperor's Hindu sub- jects who yearned to settle among them and grow up with the country. They have confined the callers all this time to the ship they came in and now consign them by force to the set ting sun, at the risk of racial up heaval in his ma;esty's empire of h. dia.
 Yet these Hindus; albiet. somewhat off color, through countless ages of sun-baking, are blood brothers of our own Aryan race, sprung from our own stock-beyond the misty borders of human history, when We all lived to- gether in the wonder highlands of middle Asia. Our fathers moved west ward to the Mediterranean, the Baltic and Plymouth Rock. Theirs made the mistake of faring eastward, over the hot, dark plains between the Indus and the Ganges. That is the ONLY difference. Yet their loyal fellow Britons feed them at the end of a hawser and squirt the fre-hose on them to keep them from coming ashore.

DON'T TAKE CAL0MEL: HERE'S A BETTER
 REMEDY

Taking calomel is mighty risky and oftentimes-dangerous.
 You ought to get along without taking calomel yourself or giving it to your family, when you can get a remedy that takes it's place Dod- sons Liver Tone is an agreeable vegetable liquid that starts the liver to action just as surely as calomel does. But, unlike calomel, Dodson' s Liver Tone does not stimulate the liver too much. It gives relief gently. Calomel acts so strongly that it may leave you worse than you were at first, and calomel also sometimes causes salvation. bod sons Liver Tone works we'll and never harms.
 A large bottle Of Dodson's Liver Tone is sold for fifty cents by Hes terly Drug Store It always has given such perfect satisfaction that your money will be given back to you with a smile if you buy bottle and are not perfectly satisfied with it in every way.

Secretary McAdoo has made answer to Representative Goods charge that the secretary has been using revenue cutters for "joy riding. The secre- tary says he was never on a cutter not engaged in regular cruising under or ders, and that the orders do not ema- nate from him; that his purpose in being on cruisers is to famailiarize himself with the conditions of the service; that he has always paid any expense caused by his presence on board the cutters; and that he has never had any cutter come to any place to serve his personal conven- fence. No cutter has come from Bog- ton to Washington or gone from Washington to Boston as charged bv Representative Good, while Mr. Me Adoo has been secretary: and there is no cutter by the name of the Plai- rie, the misuse of which has been charged oy MT.

THE HARLEQUIN CABBAGE BUG
 By Geo. c. Becker, Entomologist.

This is the red and black bug about B inches in length which sucks the juice from the mustard, cabbage and turnip plants and causes them to fire"
 Control Measures: One of the first necessary measures in the control of this pest is clean culture. Wild mus tard, volunteer, cabbage, turnips and related plants should not be allowed to grow up on the place. Moreover such plants, when grown as crops, should be disposed of when the crop has been gathered. Cabbage plants, for instance, which are allowed to grow after the heads have been pull ed supply food for just such insects. The cleaning up of the fence rows and other places where the insects can spend the winter is another very nee essary step. Those fundamental prac- tices are absolutely necessary for the control of any insect and frequently it is the lack of them alone which is responsible for an insect trouble.
 Trap Crops: These can be used to advantage with this insect. Some time in advance of setting out cab bage plants or sowing turnip seeds, SOW some mustard seed. The mus tard plants, when they grow up, will serve to attract all the bugs to them. Before setting out or planting the main crop, the mustard plants which are now infested with the bugs can be destroyed. This can easily be done by scattering straw sprinkled with coal oi, over them and firing.
 Hand Picking: This practise, when done early in the season pays. It must be practised early in the season. As soon as the bugs appear begin picking them by hand and destroying them. Tn some cases this can be ac- complished by brushing the plants over a vessel of water having over it little film of coal oil. Hand pick

ing, if consistently practised for the first of the season, will prove to be an efficient means of keeping them in check. Later in the season the bugs are difficult to combat. They are rather to be combatted than controll
 ed. Usually when the first brood has been destroyed by a trap crop or by hand picking we find that the insect does not get to be a very serious pest.

The Alfalfa Obstacle.

Getting start in alfalfa, and sue ceding after a start, is a simple mat ter to understand, though many fail to master it. Graber of Wisconsin sums up the things which cause fail ure under ten heads, which are just IS valid in one part of the country az another. They are:
 1.SOUR LAND. Any land which will bring better crop of clover after inning should be lined as a prepar- ation for alfalfa.
 ?. WEEDS. Any field which is not practically free of weds should be made so before an attempt is made to establish a stand of alfalfG in it.
 3. Lack of inoculation. No field no matter how well prepared other wise, which does not contain in its soil the bacteria which live on the roots of alfalfa and sweet clover will not maintain a stand of alfalfa or pro duce healthy alfalfa plants.
 1. Flat and poorly drained land, Alfalfa will not grow with wet feet, nor will it survive a period of stand ing water.
 ,. Wrong time of sowing. This should be studied by every beginner with special reference to bis local con ditions. It is an easy thing to find out if one doesn't know.
 6. Poorly prepared seed bed The best conditions are those which any good gardener considers proper for lettuce and radishes beds.
 '. Too heavy nurse crop. AIfalfa will not do we'll if it has to struggle with a ful crop of the grains we are in the habit of using with timothy and clover. Half a stand of oats, rye, or barley is quite as much as the al falfa can live under, and many of the best alfalfa men prefer no nurse crop at all.
 8. Cutting to late in the fall A nice growth when frost comes is worth more in the field than in the now.
 9. Late pasturing. This injuries the crop in much the same way as late cutting.
 10. Low soil fertility. Alfalfa cannot grow on sterile soil. It gets it's own nitrogen from the air if the soil is inoculated, and it goes down deep for plant food, but the plant food must be there or it can't find it, Ere quently, however, if the soil is made fertile by manure or commercial Ter tiliers for the first season the alfalfa roots will find fertility in rather poor soil thereafter. The young alfalfa plant is a greedy feeder. It must be fed, if the surface soil is poor, until it can get it's roots down into the fer tility below.
 The principles are simple, but it takes good farming to apply them sue cessfully, especially in the rigorous conditions of the East, and by men who are not used to the work. But where it can be done successfully it pays.

MONEY VALUES OF ROADS


 Some very convincing argument is Psented in a recent report made by United States department of agri- ture on the value of good roads in lars and cents The report is the Sut of studies made by department cials in Srotsylvania county, Nir- ia, where the increase in value of ficultural wealth was surprising. report says:
