THE SILENT PREACHER.

The mission of the sacred picture IN
the home is thus described by the
Rev. w. Roche, S. j., in his inspiring
book, "The House and Table of God.
1--WE get tired, perhaps, of being
talked at, but pictures use no words
They do not scold or f1dget or drive
us. They are silent sermons and
often are like painted prayers. And
they make us who look at them pray
in an easy and most pleasant way
Even your pleasure in holy picture
your love of it, is often the best OF
prayers. Your heart has gone out tC
God. 1t has found satisfaction in
Him. You have admired His good
ness, or felt confidence in His provi
dence, or wondered with reveren
humility at the mysteries of His life
Your mind and affections have beer
carried by the picture away from sci
to God; and under this influence, hope
and faith and charity have of thei,
own accord blossomed into flower il
the garden of your soul, as daisies il
a sunlit field"

THE DOMINICAN THIRD ORDER

The spiritual family of st. Dominic
is composed of three distinct orders.
The first are the priests and brothers;
the second consists of nuns strictly
clustered; the third has two great
branches, the one living in communi-
ties, known as conventual tertiaries;
the other living in the world, called
private tertiaries.
By their rule, the latter are safely
protected from the delusions of the
devil, and from the dangers to which
self-love and self-judgment often lead
the unwary. We earnestly beg the de
vout reader to consider the great ad
vantages which the Third Order at.
fords it's members. First, it presents
to all a mode of living more perfect
than that of merely keeping the Com
mandments; secondly, it makes them
canonical members of one of the
great religious orders, which has
adorned the Church with countless
martyrs, confessors and virgins, and
which has ranked among its sons some
of the Church's greatest theologians
doctors and Pontiffs; thirdly, the
members share in special manner IL
the intercession of Dominican saints
and in all the masses, prayers, and
good works of the Franciscan, Car
melite, Augustinian and other Mendi
cant Orders.

A SAINT FOR THE WEEK.
ST. RAYMuNp OF PENNAFoRr.

Born A. d. 1175, of Spanish noble
family, Raymund, at the age of twenty,
taught philosophy at Barcelona with
marvellous success. Ten years later,
his rare abilities won for him the de-
gree of Doctor in the University of
Bologna, and many high dignities. A
tender devotion to our Blessed Lady,
which had grown up with him from
childhood, determined him in middle
life to renounce all his honors and to
enter her Order of st. Dominic. There
again vision of the Mother of Mercy
instructed him to cooperate with his
penitent St. Peter Nolasco, and with
James, King of Arragon, in founding
the Order Of Our Lady of Ransom
for the Redemption of Captives. He
began this great work by preaching
a crusade against the Moors, and rous-
ing to penance the Christians, en-
shaved in both soul and body by the
infidel. In 1880, Gregory TX. sum-
moned him to Rome, and made him
his confessor and grand penitentiary,
and directed him to compile "The De-
cretals," a collection of the scattered
decisions of the Popes and Councils.
Having refused the Archbishopric of
Tarragona, Raymund found himself
in 1888 chosen third general of his
Order; which post he again succeeded
in resigning, on the score of his ad-
vanced age. His first act, when set
free, was to resume his labors among
the infidels, and in 1856, Raymund,
then eighty-one, was able to report
that ten thousand Saracens had re-
ceived baptism. He died A. D. 1875.
King James of Arragon, man of
great qualities, but held in bondage
by ruling passion, was hidden by the
Saint, to put away the cause of his
sin. On his delay, Raymund asked
for leave to depart from Majorca,
since he could not live with sin. The
King refused, and forbade under pain
of death, his conveyance by others.
Full of faith, Raymund spread his
cloak upon the waters, and tying one
end to his staff as sail, made the
sign of the CAoss, and fearlessly
stepped upon it. In six hours he was
borne to Barcelona, where, gathering
up his cloak dry, he stole into his
monastery. The King, overcome by
this miracle, became sincere peni-
tent, and the disciple of the Saint till
his death.

CHOOSING HIS CROSS.

Once, according to an old Bavarian
legend, there was a man who COM
planned to his guardian angel that the
cross he was given to bear along life's
highway was beyond his strength.
81 am we'll aware" he said, ''that in
this world of sorrow every man must
bear cross, and at that I do not
murmur. But the special cross that
has been assigned to me is, without
doubt, utterly unsuited to my capabi-
lities; the shape, the weight, the
balance, all are wrong. Could I but
choose my own cross, though per-
chance it might prove heavy one, !
would carry it uncomplaininglY, and
even cheerfully; but saddled as l am
with so unwieldy a burden, how can
1 be expected to persevere and wend
my painful way on to the journeys
end?"
So hearing this his guardian angel
took the man to the place where all
the crosses destined for mankind
were stacked, waiting their bearers
Choose" quoth the angel, "and take
whichever cross thou willest in ex.
change for thine"
Thereupon the man quickly cast his
own cross aside and set to work tc
find one more suited to his strength
But it was no easy task, for one was
too heavy, one too long, this one toe
rough and jagged to the touch, that
one was badly adjusted, the weight Of
the cross beam too heavy for the
perpendicular beam, and therefore
impossible to balance on his shoulder
In fact, after trying some hundreds
of the crosses and finding fresh diff
ficulties and pains connected with
each the man was fain to pray his
angel to assist him in the choice.
Just then, however, his eyes fell OF
cross lying little apart from the
others, and he lifted it to his shoulder
for a trial. 1t seemed to fit at once
The weight was right, the size wa!
right. Although heavy, it was per
fectly balanced, and although large
he could adjust it to his stride. There
was no doubt about it; he knew i'm
mediately that it was the one of al
those crosses that was exactly sulte'
to his strength.
''This is the cross for me" he cried
81 can bear this one without mur
muir, for 1 feel it is made for me
there is even a sort of buoyancy il
the substance of it that seems to bea
me up, and after all those others tina
l made trial of, this one seems almos
as dear companion, SO easily
stride along beneath it's weight"
Even so,' replied the angel, 10
it is thine own, the cross that tho
hast borne these many years, tina
was fashioned specially for thee, an
: that just now thou didst petulantl
cast aside Take it now and bear
J patiently, for only in company wit
it shalt thou reach the journeys end
And the man looked again, and b.
! hold it was even as the angel said.

FROM CHRISTMAS TO CANDLE.
MAS.

The name Christmas" is applied to
the whole of the six weeks which be-
gin with the birth of Christ (Decem,
Der 25), and end with the feast of the
Publication of His ever-blessed
Mother February %; and the custom
of celebrating this glorious event by
a solemn commemoration lasting for
forty days is founded, as we know,
upon the Holy Gospel itself, says the
Ave Maria.
Many festivals of different saints
occur during this season; often, too
the time of Septuagesima begins be-
fore the Christmas season is over
Yet, as a pious writer truly says
Nothing seems able to distract our
Mother Church from the immense joy
of which she received the good It'd
ings' from the angels on that glorious
night for which the world had been
longing for four thousand years" In
deed, in the Latin liturgy heartfelt
rejoicing at the appearance on earth
of the Word made Flesh, and admira
ton of the stainless Virgin, Cause OF
our JOY" are so inextricably inter
woven that we can not think of the
one without the other Our Infant
God and His Immaculate Mother
what prayer or rite at this glad sea
son does not tenderly recall them
both!

MINER AND MISSIONARY WITHIN
THE ARCTIC CIRCLE.

On a recent Sunday evening the pull
pit in St. Mary's Church, Winnipeg,
Canada, was occupied by Rev. Father
Donnelly, o. M. l., the intrepid mis-
sionary who had just returned from a
trip which took him to the vicinity of
the Arctic circle, that region of per-
petual snow. The struggle of the
missionaries to keep the lamp of re-
ligion lighted in that remote region
and their battle with the elements
were graphically depicted, taking as
his text the assurance given the Ro-
mans by ST. Paul, This is the victory
which overCOmeth the world-your
faith he said in part:
If there is anywhere that we see
the spirit of the world and the spirit
of Christ working in antagonism it
is in those great lone lands west and
northwest of this great city where
the citizens are trying to gather
wealth and in their hurry forget God
In Alaska the great nameless noun
tains and valleys speak of God, and
where those great lone lands are more
fascinating than the halls of kings the
works of God are glorious.
The Gold Stampede.
Out there Gods work went on un
interruptedly and the scenery resem
bled the earth before God created
man. And then, about twenty years
ago, there was cry of gold in the
North, and the struggle began. Wher

WHY I'm THANKFUL TODAY.
| am thankful today


Because l am I
The offspring of infinite love.
I'm thankful for night
With it's star-sprinkled sky
For day with the great sun above.
For summers green grasses,
For winters white SHOWS,
The perfume of lilies,
The blush of the rose,
The laughter of children,
The murmur of brooks,
For friends that speak to me
'Twixt covers Of books.
The music of raindrops
On meadow and park,
The call of the night bird
The whirr of the lark,
For the dancing of waves
Over broad summer seas,
For voices that sigh
Through the whispering trees,
For hearts that are loyal
For friends that are true,
For grace to be cheerful,
For the good I can do,
For the love that surrounds
And protects me each hour,
For the courage, the patience,
The strength and the power
That are mine-as my birthright-
Everlasting and true.
And I'm thankful that all these
Are your blessings, too.

GIFTS OF THE WISE MEN.

Three gifts the Wise Men gave of old
From out their stores the best
Of myrrh, and frankincense, and gold
Brought with them in their quest.
Yet brought they Faith, that sought
the King,
And Love, that wrapped Him round
And Peace, that made their hearts to
sing,
All PROSTATE on the ground.
We bring no gifts of value rare,
Who seek the King today.
Rather with us the dross of care
That stings us while we pray.
Yet is there gold for others needs,
And myrrh in hearts that bring
The frankincense of gentle deeds
Unto their Lord, the King.

first had a military character It was
composed of devout Catholic men,
whom ST. Dominic appointed to guard
the temporal interests of the Church
against those who were robbing her
of her patrimony. He gave these men
a distinct garb, marked with the Cross,
and appointed certain prayers which
they were to say daily as their Office.
When peace was restored to the
Church, these men continued in the
life they had embraced, the military
character giving place to a penitential
spirit. Afterwards entrance to the
Order was also open to women, both
married and single.

OH.
Arthur Bowen sat contemplating
the darkened landscape. He lit a
cigar, and said to himself: "The rich
we're always blaming the rich; we
never blame ourselves. And yet we
have all the time there is, too. The
rich make a thousand artificial cares
for themselves, and we, too" He
drifted off into a reverie, for his cigar
was good; and then he said: I'VE
make useless cares for ourselves, and
we have got into the habit of imagin-
| ing luxuries to be necessities
After a time Mrs Bowen came
down, and they went into the sitting
room-,'the garden-room'' they liked
to call it, because the apple trees OF
the old orchard and the tall hollyhocks
waved constant greetings to the win
dows.
"Do you know it quite went to my
heart when Sara Fallon said that /
had no idea what seventy-five cents
meant to persons in her position? |
wish we had something to give
eve have" said the husband,
throwing a bit of driftwood in the
CRATE.
ooh, my DEAR" answered his wife,
"you mean that you could give up
something! But you can't. Why, no
body but an angel like you would wear
that evening suit. It's almost green;
you certainly need a new one. And

spair.
"No," he answered; 81 mean that We
