TIM MURPHY'S LEGACY

Mrs. Grant looked up from her
prosaic work of Smelling peas and
drank in the beauty of the scene be-
fore her. Somewhere deep inside her
was a strain of poetry which many
busy years on farm had failed to
deaden. Stretching to the westward
was a stretch of meadowland and
then a gently wooded hillside crown
ed with dark masses of pine. She
could smell the fragrance of the frs
on the summer wind, and, as she
drew a deep breath, she said:
81 don't believe I'll ever tire of
that smell. Seems as if it holds all
the sweetness of summer and winter
both. Well, I certainly am thankful
for it, I've got lots to be thankful for. =
But even as she spoke her eyes
took on a troubled look. Nesting in
a natural hollow to the south was a
cottage, the sight of which interrupted
her musing and caused a shadow tc
cross her face.

leading from the orchard and as he
passed the cottage he walked slowly

PASSlONTIDE.

The time between Passion Sunday
and Easter Sunday is called Passion
tide. 1t is the most solemn part of
the lenten season. The Crucifx and
all the images in the church are COW
cred to remind us of the bitterness
with which the enemies of Christ per-
secuted Him during the time imme-
diately preceding His death. The
gospel of Passion Sunday relates how
Christ hid Himself from the Jews
whose hatred and jealousy had be-
come deadly. The Church during the
next two weeks strives in every way
to have us occupy our minds and
hearts more particularly with the Pas
sion of our Lord. She urges us to
increase our penances, and so the veil
with which the images are covered
is purple-the color of penance and
sorrow.
The Church like her Divine Spouse
will always have enemies to oppose
and hate and persecute her. The in
dividual Christian, too, if he is faith
full, will meet with opposition, ill-will,
ridicule, and insult. During Passion
tide more particularly let him unite
his sufferings with the sufferings of
Christ and bear them in the spirit of
penance. Let him withdraw into his
own soul as Christ withdrew from His
enemies, and in the secret chambers
of his heart mediate upon the passion
of Him Who was Sin1QSS vet suffered

A SAINT FOR THE WEEK.
ST. IRENAEUs OF sIRMIUM.

Irenaeus was still young when he
was made Bishop of Sirmium. But
we know that his virtues fitted him
for this high Office, and in his death
he proved himself detached from all
save the service of God, minister
When brought before the President of
Pannonia, during the persecution of
Diocletian, he refused to offer sacri-
fee, and to the threat of torments he
replied, Il will bear them with joy,
that may partake in the Passion of
the Lord" But another trial awaited
him after his torture. His friends and
his relations surrounded him, bewail-
ing his youth, and beseeching him to
take pity on himself. To all this
Irenaeus paid no heed. He was has
tening on to the prize of his heavenly
calling: neither the tears of his friends
nor Imprisonment and fresh torture
could impede him in his course or
cool the fervour of his desire to die
for Christ.
He hurried on his executioners, and
babe the judge pass sentence at once,
and see how Christ would make His
servant victorious over death. AS he
reached the bridge where he was to be
beheaded he stripped off his clothes,
raised his hands to heaven, and pray
ed Christ to receive His servant, who
suffered for His name and for the
people of the Catholic Church.

His mind on His promise, he despised
everything else, and declared that
none was present with him except

FAMILY PRAYER.

The good old custom of family
prayers seems to be dying out in the
cities at least, says the London Rec
ord.
Theaters, clubs and other attrac-
tons outside the home keep members
of the family away until late in the
evening, and, arriving home at vari-
Gus hours, they think they are doing
well if each individual can rush
through a few short prayers before re-
firing. Modern city life has almost, if
not altogether, destroyed one of the
most beautiful practices of former
generation. We believe great many
of the best men of the present day
owe their strong faith and their stead
fastness in religion to family prayers
when they were young. 1t impressed
upon them the Importance of prayer
and taught them the beauty of union
in the worship of God Private devo-
lions are all very well, but if devotion
is left to the choice of the individual
the young will soon grow careless, and
one who is careless in prayer soon
grows careless about other duties of
religion. On the other hand, family
prayers in common are form of pub
lie worship and naturally lead to at
tendance at mass-the great act of
public worship-on Sundays. We hope
that Catholic families will revive the
good old practice-if it has been al
lowed to lapse of reciting the Rosary
in common. The Rosary is prayer
that unites the family as no other

LENT.

The Church means what it says
when it orders those of its members
who can do so, to fast from Ash We'd
nesday to Holy Saturday. This is no
idle command. 1t is not one to be
set aside by whatsoever prefers to eat
three full meals a day. He who can
fast, must fast; otherwise he disobeys
the Church, and thereby commits sin.
In the case where there is doubt of a
persons ability to do this penance, the
doctor and the confessor SHOULD be
consulted, and on their opinion, not on
that alone of the interested party, the
decision should be made This fast

BLESSED CANDLE IN THE HOUSE

No Catholic home should be without
it's blessed candle. The prayers of the
Church have assembled to God that "He
would bless and sanctify them for
the service of men and for the good
of their bodies and souls in all
places" Pious Catholics light them
during thunder storms that God, in
consideration of Christ, Whom they
represent, may reign to protect His
servants. Let us light them whenever
we are threatened with calamity and,
if we do so in spirit of faith, we
will experience signal proof of Gods
fatherly care of us. But, above all,
let the holy candle burn by the bed
side of the sick and dying, dispelling,
by it's blessed light, the shades of
trouble and despair which the prince
of darkness strives to cast around the
Christian soul in the hour of its dis
solution, and illumining the dark road
through the valley of death to the
mountain whose light is God.

THE WONDERFUL WAYS OF GOD

The Church teaches that even for
Judas there would have been forgive
ness had he sought it with a contrite
heart. The Sisters of Charity of
Chentingfoo have had an experience
recently which proves the wonderful
mercy and love of God for even the
meanest sinner The good Mother
tells us the story:
This week a man died in room
in our hospital in the most edifying
manner During the three or four
weeks that he was here he used to beg
in the most earnest, humble manner,
for the privilege of daily Communion,
which was granted him whenever he
was able to receive. He had, in other
days, been our porter and business
man and in 1897 had left us to start
a little shop. He prospered, but in
1900. at the time of the Boxer move
ment, fear made him turn traitor to
his God and to us. He put up a
placard outside his shop declaring that
he was a pagan and even offered to
show the Boxers way into our
premises. They consented TO go IL ne
would lead the way Providence pro-
tected us in the most wonderful man
ner, for they imagined they saw sol
diers' heads all around our walls and
feared to attack us. 1t was the son
of the apostate, boy of fifteen, VINO
finally shamed his father by asking
permission to go to the Bishop and
ask to be taken in, for he could not
bear to remain with an apostate.
after having yielded for a year to
the suggestions of the evil one the
poor man at length entered into better
sentiments and accepted most humbly
the penance imposed upon him. Fol
months he knelt at the door of the
church asking the prayers of the faith

be thou blessed for the immense glory
wherewith thou art crowned in heav-
en-! o We parents put those praises
of Mary on the pure lips of your chill
dren; teach them to bless and to love
her; you can do nothing more pleas
ing to heaven, nothing of greater adj
vantage to your family and to your
self.
And blessed is the fruit of thy
womb" Those words of st. Elizabeth
are congratulation addressed to the
Blessed Virgin, and a hymn in honor
of Jesus Christ. Mary is nothing save
through and in Jesus. Her divine
maternity is the focus whence eman-
ate the rays of glory which encircle
her. The Son is, therefore, the end
of all the honors bestowed upon the
Mother, as He is also the principle of
them. To Him alone relates all the
worship offered to the saints and to
cepts our praises solely in order to
return them to Jesus. If the Church
is so dear to her heart, it is because
Jesus, the fruit of her womb, is
blessed at all times and in every place
through the Church.
The Holy Mary.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray
for us sinners" Mary, Mother of
God; First motive of our confidence.
She has upon Jesus all the claims
that a mother has upon her son.
What could He refuse her? From
Him she had received real omnipo-
tence, not of command, but of inter-
cession:; Her credit has, therefore,
no limits But will she be willing to
use it in our behalf? We simply an
swer, she is our Mother. o Mary,
the most tender of mothers, pray for
children who have cost thee so many
sorrows! We have still another title
wherewith to secure thy compassion,
o Blessed Mother, for we are sinners.
Our misery is claim upon thy mercy.
Is there any misery greater than sin?
If thou art the Queen of mercy, it
must be that the most miserable of
sinners are the first of thy subjects.
Nov and at the hour of our death"
This now" for which we implore
the mercy and powerful intercession
of Mary, is the present moment of
our life. The past is ours no longer,
and it has left sins to be atoned for;
the future does not belong to us; the
present is all that we can use, and it
is escaping us rapidly. Oh, how frail
earth! But this moment, now, is the
time of trials and battle. Many are
the dangers which surround us; many
the enemies bent upon our destruc-
ton! o Mary, who will save us if
thou forsakest us?
Do then, o holy Virgin, pray for
us now, for on this day, on this hour,
on this moment, may depend our
eternity! There is, however, an hour
more critical still: the last hour which
will decide our fate, the hour of dark
ness and anguish for even the hottest
souls, the hour in which we may re-
pair everything and lose everything.
Then, especially, when our enemies
will attack us more fiercely, we shall
have need of a more powerful help.
o Mary, at the hour of our death, Gin
bora mortis nostrae;" be nigh unto us,
defend us, pray for us. Blessed is
he who expires within thy maternal
arms, with his eyes turned toward thy
image, thy blessed name on his lips.
He quietly falls asleep on earth to
wake up in heaven.

A KINGS LENT.

King Stanislaus of Poland was al
ways a faithful observer of the an
cient discipline of the Church. In
Lent he ate but one meal a day, not
even allowing himself collation. in
the evening. On Fridays he denied
himself the use of fish and eggs.
From Holy Thursday noon till the
following Saturday noon, he took no
nourishment, not even bread and
water. That interval, consecrated to
our Lords Passion, he devoted, as far
as his affairs permitted, to prayer and
almsgiving. Yet, Notwithstanding
these austerities, this good old king
lived to the grand old age of eighty
four years.
