Lady's life was," said the preacher,
'her love of her Son. Christ was
her God as well as her Son. Mary
was the daughter of the Most High.
She was the Spouse of the Holy Ghost
and the Mother of Christ. She, there
fore, directed to her Son every cur
rent Of affection which can spring in
a woman's heart. Christ had conferred
upon Him from His Mother the full
capacity of human love. This is
why Mary, according to the Gospel,
kept all these words, pondering
them in her heart" That was the
best Gospel, written by the best of
writer's. the Gospel written on the
leaves of a mothers heart by moth
er's love. Mary's character was lu-
minated and moulded by her master
passion. She grew up more than any
other into the stature of Christ"
Applying these principles to the
everyday life Of the Christian the
preacher urged that all should look
for Christ in their circumstances.
1.-THE good in the press is the word
Catholics must keep and ponder on,
carefully avoiding the evil that mars
the printed page. We are all, too,
children of one blood in Christ and
should have that family love one for
another which should lead us to see
and cherish the good that is in our
neighbor. Worry not about the
thoughts you have and do not wish
to have. but be concerned about the
thoughts you keep. They are the
friends of your souls and they will
make or mar your character.
Benediction of the Blessed Sacra-
ment was given in the Chapel at 1880
pm. After benediction the custom
ary family gathering was held in the
auditorium. The program consisted
of addresses by Mgr. M. j. Lavelle,
Hon. Thos. F. Churchill, president of
the board of education of New York
City; Rev. F. B. Doherty. U. S. A.,
of Fort Sam Houston, Texas, and

DIGNITY OF PAPAL FLAG UP.
HELD.

An interesting judgment has just
been reached in France regarding the
display of the Pontifical flag, which
has been forbidden to Catholics by
the government, on the ground that it
is not the flag of a sovereign. In
honor of the fetes of Jeanne D'Arc, six
notable inhabitants of Carcassone
decorated their houses with flags.
prominent among which was the Papal
banner. Amongst them were a mer-
chant, two bankers and u priopt, and
they were all hauled before the trib-
unal, but M. Castel, Judge of the
Peace, before whom the cases came,
gave judgment for the accused. He
said the Pope's flag is certainly that
of a sovereign. He enjoys all the
prerOgatives of sovereignty, COM
mands thousands, and is ruled by
none.

being inevitable, surely it is not for
energetic, quick-moving Americans to

1--WE who are of German birth but
now American citizens regret that
this great war was forced upon the
mother country. We regret that the
other great democratic nations, Eng
land and France, are standing side by
side with Russian autocracy. 1t seems
strange that us Americans do not see
that the only power able to checkmate
Russia is Germany, and that therefore
Germany is fighting the battle Of CIV
ilization and of progress against re-
action.
IF Germany is crushed in this war
Russia becomes the supreme world
power controlling half of Europe and
half of Asia. England and France are
fighting now to build up the Cossack
hegemony; If they succeed it will not
be many years before they are looking
everywhere for aid in striking it down
again.
Make the car the arbitrator Of the
affairs of Europe, as the democratic,
progressive peoples of England and
France are now trying to do, and 1t
will be generations before the bond
can be broken and the lost ground
can be recovered. There will be only
one great continental army, and that
will be the army of Russia. Strike
