BLESSED ASHES.

Ashes are sign of repentance and
humiliation. They have been used in
nearly all ages as an outward mani
festation of true humility of heart and
sorrow for sin.
The custom of sprinkling them on
the heads or foreheads of the people
at the beginning of Lent is indicative
of the nature of the penitential sea-
son.
In the early centuries they were
given only to public penitents who
were driven out of the Church on &C
count of their sins. They presented
themselves at the church door at the
beginning of the Lenten season with
view of being taken back on Holy
Thursday. But in course of time 9th
ers who were not public penitents
stood with them and received the
ashes through a spirit of humility and
self-denial, and as their number grad
ually increased the rule of sprinkling
all with ashes became customary.
The ashes are blessed Immediately
before the Mass said on the first day
of Lent, and are distributed to the peo-
pie in attendance. AS the first day
of Lent always falls on Wednesday,
the blessing and distribution of the
ashes have given it the name of Ash
Wednesday,
When received with the proper
spirit, they are wonderful means of
reminding us of our last end and the
necessity of being humble and peni-
tent in the sight of God. Every one,
therefore, should be present on Ash
Wednesday either at the morning or
evening service to receive them,
though the obligation to do so does
not bind under the pain of sin.
To receive the ashes, go up to the
altar railing devoutly and slowly with
hands Joined. AS the priest places
the ashes on your forehead in the
form of a cross, he says: "Remem-
Der, man, that thou art dust, and
unto dust thou shalt return" We
have to be reminded again and again
of this great truth.
Do not brush the ashes off unless
they are very noticeable or uncom-
Portable. To carry them home either
for the sick or those who cannot
come to the church or for any other
purpose is forbidden.

THE BETTER LAND.

"I hear thee speak of the better land;
Thou calPst it's children happy band;
Mother! oh, where is that radiant
shore?
Shall we not seek it, and weep no
more?
Is it where the flower of the orange
blows,
And the fire-fies glance through the
myrtle boughs?"
mot there, not there, my child"
"Is it where the feathery palm-trees
rise,
And the date grows ripe under sunny
skies?
Or midst the green islands of glitter
ing seas,
Where fragrant forests perfume the
breeze;
And strange bright birds, on their
starry wings?
Clean mid the groves of the tropic
springs?
mot there, not there, my child"
us is far away, in some region old,
Where the rivers wander DER sands of
gold?
Where the burning rays of the ruby
shine,
And the diamond lights up the secret
mine,
And the pearl CLEANS forth from the
coral strand
Is it there, sweet mother, that better
land?"
Not there, not there, my child"
Eye hath not seen it, my gentle boy,
Ear hath not heard its deep songs of
joy
Dreams cannot picture a world so
fair
Sorrow and death may not enter there;
Time doth not breathe on it's fadeless
bloom;
For beyond the clouds, and beyond the
tomb"
'It is there, it is there, my child"

THE CATHOLIC ALTAR.

The ancient Jewish synagogue was
replete with ornament, and heather
temples blazed with rarest gems, the
most perfectly wrought metal work,
the most wonderful carvings to be OBJ
tanned from all the treasures of
heathendom. What wonder is it, then,
if we, to whom is vouchsafed the
miracle of the bread of life upon the
high altar of our churches, should
seek to dignity the resting place of
such blessing? asks an exchange.
The affairs of the Catholic Church
are ever the especial care of devout
and loving hands, decked with snowy
linens of sheerest tissues; exquisite
embroideries array the priests who
serve thereat, while upon the vessels
and appurtenances of the altar is Law
ished all that artistic devotion can
expend
Snowy statues CLEAN aloft in carven
inches of the Sacred Heart pleading
with men, or the gentle Mother of God
crowned as queen of men and angels
or holding her Divine Child in her
arms; or Of good st. Joseph, or of
shadowy angels, exquisitely allurings
pointing men heavenward.
Upon every altar rises the crucifiX,
holy symbol of holy faith, and upon
the forms of Christ on the cross what
depths of artistic expression have been
expended.
Nearly every material has been used
to fashion these altar crucifixes, wood,
marble, ebony, ivory, pearl, gold, sill
yer or brass. Among the metal work
ers of the middle ages no one was
considered an artist until he had fash
toned crucifx worthy of place in
some cathedral shrine.

A SAINT FOR THE WEEK.
ST. JOHN THE ALMoNER.

St. John was married, but when his
wife and two children died, he con-
sidered it a call from God to lead a
perfect life. He began to give away
all he possessed in aims, and became
known throughout the East as the
AlmoHer. He was appointed Patriarch
of Alexandria; but before he would
take possession of his See he told his
servants to go over the town and
bring him a list of his lords-mean-
ing the poor. They brought word there
was seven thousand five hundred of
them, and these he undertook to feed
every day. He would not suffer an
unjust weight or measure in all the
city. On Wednesday and Friday in
every week he sat on a bench before
the church, to hear the complaints of
the needy and aggrieved nor would he
til their wrongs we're redressed. Such
was his kindness of heart, that he
saw no one weep without joining his
tears with theirs. The fear of death
was ever before him, and he never
spoke an idle word. He turned those
out of church whom he saw talking,
and forbade all detractors to enter his
house. He left seventy churches in
Alexandria, where he had found but
seven. He spent untold sums upon
the poor, and God blessed his aims
giving by multiplying his gold and by
many other striking miracles. He died
in Cyprus, his native place, about the
year 619.
A merchant received from st. John
five pounds weight of gold to buy
merchandise. Having suffered ship
wreck, and lost all, he had again re-
course to John, who said, Some of
your merchandise was ill-gotten," and
gave him ten pounds more; but the
next voyage he lost ship as well as
goods. John then said, "The ship was
wrongly acquired. Take fifteen pounds
of gold, buy corn with it, and put it
on one of my ships" This time he
was carried by the winds without his
own knowledge to England, where
there was a famine; and he sold the
corn for it's weight in tin, and on his
return he found the tin changed to
finest silver.

vows.

Among the obligations of the Second
Commandment is that of keeping
ones VOWS; to violate them is to sin
against the commandment A vow
is a promise voluntarily made to God
by which we pledge to Him some good
greater than that to which we are
bound. 1t is called a promise rather
than a simple resolution, which one
makes with himself and which is not
of obligation. A promise is made to an
other and consequently binds toward
the person to whom it is made.
You take resolution to go to Rome,
but there is nothing to oblige you
to go to the city, and you may decline
to gos without violating any obliga-
ton, but if you promise friend to go
and see him, you are bound to go
and you cannot dispense yourself from
it without violating the obligation
which you have contracted. In our mo-
ments of fervor we resolve on many
things, and they are, after all, but
resolutions, and the violation of them
is not a sin, but if we promise to do
some work of religion which has for
effect the honor and glory of God, there
is in it a promise which binds US
toward God, and its violation is a sin.
The fact of its being promise does
not make it a vow, but every vow is
a promise. 1t is, however, promise
which is made to God and it binds
the conscience because it has in it
the intention of doing that which is
vowed, in other words, interiorily
promising something to God. A vow
is an act of religion, consequently it
is a promise made to God and made
to God alone, according to the word
of the Psalmist, "Vow We, and do to
the Lord your God" The object of
VOW must be something not only
good in itself but better than that
which is opposed to it; thus, fast,
an aims deed, a pilgrimage, may be
the material of a VOW because it is
more project to do these things than
not to do them. There are three clas-
sifications of vows-absolute and con-
ditional, personal, simple and solemn.
The absolute vow is that which has
no condition, a conditional VOW being
that to which condition is attached;

llshed church. In others the supreme
authority rests with the presbytery,
the synod or some other gathering of
representatives of individual churches.
Christ appointed one head, whom the
Catholics call the Pope. Therefore
unity applies to the Catholic Church
only.
Holiness.
No founder of any but the Catholic
Church is holy. The Catholic Church
has no other founder than Jesus
Christ. Luther, the sacrilegious
priest, unfaithful to his vow, assured
ly was no saint; Calvin, branded for
his immortality, was no saint; Henry
VIII, the murderer of his wives, was
no saint There may be and there
actually are a great many good honest
people in non-Catholic denominations,
people who try to serve the Lord the
best way they can, but this is not
owing to the doctrine taught by their
churches. That some are created for
hell, that the grossest sins do not

of sin, that faith alone justifies, that
man is totally depraved and that all
his works are sinful, that it is mat
ter of Indifference which Christian re-
ligion you profess, all these tenets
are not holy doctrines, and yet they
are the foundations of the principal
sects. If one were to live up to the
fundamental tenets of these sects, he
would be the reverse of saint. The
teaching of the Catholic Church, both
in faith and in morals, is holy, insplr-
ing her children with a love of per-
lection. It leads them to holiness of
life, to practice all virtues, to abhor
sin and to observe faithfully the COM
mandments of God. 1t invites them
all to a holy life and provides them
all with plentiful means of protection
in their endeavors to become holy.
Eminent holiness, the fulfilling of the
evangelical counsels is practiced only
by the children of the Catholic
Church; there are no brotherhoods or
sisterhoods binding themselves to
Christ by poverty, chastity and obedi-
ence in any but the Catholic Church.
Of those who tried in Anglicanism to
live as religious, most of them failed
in so doing, and others have become
Catholics. Besides that great mark
of eminent holiness, the gift of mir
acles is absent in all the other
churches; the first miracle has yet
to be wrought in any of them. The
Catholic Church has never been with
out that gift.
The Catholic bulletin. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1911-1995, 1914-02-21

a personal VOW has for matter our
person or our actions; simple vow
is that by which one binds himself in
dividually in public or in private,
either by word of mouth or the de-
sire of the heart to do certain things;
a solemn VOW is one which is made
by a religious profession in a religi-
Gus order, such are the vows of ODE
dience, poverty and chastity, taken by
religious for a definite term of years
or for life. When the young ecclesi-
astic receives the subdeaconship, he
too makes a VOW of chastity by which
he binds himself through life to that
sacred virtue. Dispensation from the
ordinary simple vows and also from
the solemn vows of poverty and obe-
dience may be obtained from the
Church for good and sufficient rea-
sons. In order that a vow be valid,
it must be free and the per-
son making it must perfectly know
the obligation which is contracted.
He must be familiar with the obliga-
ton which he contracts by the vow,
as well as with the substance of the
VOW itself. The Church binds no one
to VOWS until the individual has, with
full knowledge and liberty, made the
promise to God. To make a VOW is
most agreeable to God and advantage
GUS to ourselves. By VOW one offers
himself to God in order to give Him
most perfect service and this cannot
fail to glorify God and be agreeable
to Him. Once VOW is made we are
bound, under pain of sin, to fulfil it,
unless we are dispensed from it. The
Church has the authority to dispense
from vows. The full and complete
authority to dispense from vows
is lodged in the Holy Father who is
the vicar of Christ. In the different
dioceses the Bishop enjoys the privi-
lege of dispensing from the vows
with the exception of those that are
especially reserved to the Holy Father
such as solemn vows, the VOW of per-
petual chastity, and the vow to enter
religion Before making vow,
one should exercise prudence and seri-
GUS reflection, and earnestly pray to
God for direction and take advice
from those who are charged with His
spiritual direction.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

The answers to this little question
are diverse. The doctor answers, II
am visiting the sick" The lawyer, 81
am pleading cases. The milliner, 81
am making hats" The driver, 81 stand
on the footboard guiding the train. "
The telegrapher, Il am sending mes
sages."
Where is he who can answer! 81
am working out my salvation?"
To transact business, to cure fever,
to plead at the bar-these are the
means to an end; and the end is to
save our souls. Now, who does not
know numbers of people, who follow
their calling in life as if it were the
one thing necessary-and who only
occasionally, accidentally pay atten-
ton to the great business of saliva
ton But must not one live?" you
say. l answer: No one ever died of
hunger while attending to his saliva
ton. Seek first the Kingdom of God
and His justice, and all these things
shall be added unto you" No one has
ever been less successful, less hon.
ored, for having attended to his soul.
Whoever you are, you will not
lose by going to your duties.
Whatsoever your work may be, it will
not suffer by your prayers and Holy
Communions Take care! Take care,
that the little comedy we play here on
earth does not end in tragedy
death, for death will be followed by
judgment!
When we stand before the tribunal
where sits Justice without appeal, God
will not ask us! How many dollars
have you earned, how many patients
cured, how many accounts drawn up,
how many dresses made?" No, He
will say:
30, human creature, what have you
done for your God? What have you
done for your soul? What have you
done for your eternity?"
If you want to know how to answer
this question what have you done?"
reflect and without delay ask yourself:
What am 1 doing now for my God,
for my soul, for my salvation?

UNITY AND HOLINESS.

In no religious denomination other
than the Catholic Church is there
unity of faith. 1t is in itself impos-
sible, writes Reverend D. l.. Lanslots,
0. S. B., in the Los Angeles Tidings,
considering that the private interpre-
tation of the Bible is the rule of faith
of them all. This naturally leads to
immense and essential differences of
opinion among the members of the
same church, so much so that Luther,
in his day, said of his own followers,
that there were as many opinions as
there were heads. Men, even the
very ministers belonging to the same
sect or church, do not even agree
among themselves. For instance, in
the Church of England, some Bishops
believe in the Real Presence, Of which
others scorn the very idea. In the
Catholic Church the members are one
in faith; they all without any excep-
ton, believe what the Church pro-
poses to them to believe. In non
Catholic churches there is no unity
of cult 1t is only of late years that
the Church of England, to consider
herself and appear as branch of the
Catholic Church, realized the neces-
sity of sacrifice and of sacrificing
priests, but in vain; the chain of
validity ordained priests has long
been broken. All other churches abb
hor the idea of a sacrifice. And yet
there must be a sacrifice, as other
wise the prophecy of Malachy would
be false and the words of Christ at the
Last Supper would be meaningless.
In regard to the Sacraments of the
seven instituted by Christ the major
ity of the sects have kept only one,
Baptism; what they call the Lords
Supper is not sacrament. The Cath
Ollie Church alone believes in seven
sacraments, instituted, the one like
the other, by Christ, and in sacri-
fee of the New Law, Holy Mass. In
the Catholic Church alone is there
unity of government. In all others
there is plurality of heads: each in
dividual church or congregation very
often being independent and self-gov-
erned. In some the spiritual govern
ment of the Church is absorbed by the
temporal government of the state; in
England, for instance, the sovereign
is the spiritual head of the estab-
