cost Cycle. The Christmas Cycle
comprises the time from the first
Sunday of Advent to Septuagesima
Sunday; the Easter Cycle, the time
from Septnagesirna Sunday to the AS
cension Of Christ; the Pentecost Cy-
Gle, the time from the Ascension to
Advent. Each cycle is subdivided
into three parts: the preparation for
the feast, the celebration of the feast,
and the after-celebration of the feast.
The preparation for the feast is re-
mote and proximate. The remote
preparation is the time before the.
vigil of the feast; the proximate
preparation is the vigil. The after
celebration is proyimate and remote.
The proximate characterization is the
rest of the Octave: the remote after
celebration is the time after the
Octave.
We should, year by year, study the
Church Year, and strive to live in the
spirit of the seasons and feasts of it.
1t affords, week by week, much mat
ter for earnest thought; it is, in fact,
the meditation book for most Chris
tians.

ANCIENT SHRINE
RELICS OF SAINTS BROUGHT
FROM PALESTINE IN FRENCH
CHURCH.

At Duravel, France, there is an
ancient shrine containing the relics
of Saints Hilarion, Agathon, and
Piammon, which were brought to
France from Palestine during the reign
of Charlemagne. Some time ago
these relics, as it is usual every five
years, were exposed for public venera-
ton during. one week. This ceremony
always attracts a great number OF
visitors. st. Piammon was Abbot of
the Monastery of Diaclos, which was
situated in one of the islands in the
delta of the Nile. st. Agathon was
Abbot of the Monks of Scete, a desert
near to Memphis. st. Hilarion was
one Of the most illustrious disciples
of ST. Anthony the Hermit, and he
was the founder of the eremitical life
in Palestine, which was his birthplace,
st. Jerome records that wherever this
great and holy thaumaturgus went
miracles proclaimed his presence.

$34,OOO.OOO BEQUEST
LEFT TO CHARITABLE AND RE-
LlGloUs PURPOSES BY VEAL
THY SOUTH AMERICAN.

A gigantic bequest of $34,0O0,000 is
causing sleepless nights to anti-cleri-
cal schemers in South America and
Spain. The Argentine multi-million-
aire, Eduardo Romaguera, who passed
away recently in Madrid, left his en-
tire fortune to the Bishops Of Madrid,
Buenos Aires, and Barcelona, to be
applied to charitable and benevolent
purposes. Mr.. Romaguera owned sew
eral thousand acres of land in Argen-
tine and entire blocks of houses in the
best sections of Buenos Aires. His
widow is given the use of the family
fortune for the rest Of her days. Mr.
Romaguera leaves no children or poor
relatives; and, hence, there is no rea-
son for alarm or protest. Still the
anti-clerical press RACES about a
catch" made by the Church and de-
mands that the State interfere, If
the deceased had left one-tenth of his
fortune to some of the ranting anti
clericals, they would probably have
been silent.

OLDEST PAPER IN THE WORLD
GAZETTE DE FRANCE, FOUNDED
2s4 YEARS AGO, WILL SUSPEND
PUBLICATION FOR A TIME.

The oldest newspaper in France,
probably the oldest in the world, has
just announced that it will suspend
publication until the end of the war.
This paper is the Gazette de France,
which was founded 284 years ago!
This paper, which had its beginning
in 1884,. appeared at first weekly, with
only four small pages, but in the sec
ond year of it's existence doubled the
number of it's pages, emitting the first
four pages La Gazette" and the other
four News from Divers Places" The
first sheets were devoted to foreign
news and the second chronicled af-
fairs of the court of France. This
paper was protected by the great Car
dinal Richelieu, who sent it such in.
formation as he desired should be
known to the public. Louis XIII also
served the paper with news. The
paper, however, was through tho
nearly three centuries of its exist.
ence merely an official agency for the
publication of government news.

preach them. There are others who
refuse to hear sermons because they
do not admit the necessity of being
prepared to refute the. charges that
are written and spoken against the
Church. They pretend that it is be-
meath their dignity to notice attacks
on their faith. Why, they say, we
have heard those TRADES since our
childhood. They have been proved
false times without number. Nobody
believes them. Ny answer is that
there are millions who believe them.
The REPUTATION of such historical
falsehoods and misstatements of doc
trine will always be necessary. They
who tire of defending the doctrines
and practices Of the Church forget
that new generations are continuously
appearing on life's stage. The un-
truths and Misrepresentation which
may have but little weight with the
non-C Catholics who are passing away
are being presented perhaps for the
first time to millions upon millions OF
non-Catholic young men and young
women on whose minds they make a
lasting and baneful impression.
There are others who shun the light
of religious instruction because their
deeds are evil. There is a wound in
their hearts which they are afraid to
probe. Realizing that the word of
God which is "more penetrating than
any two-edged sword goes straight to
the quick of human wickedness, they
consequently avoid hearing it because
they desire to continue to indulge
their pet vices undisturbed.
Not so earnest and conscientious
Catholics. AS travellers on their way
to their true fatherland on high they
are always glad to hear from home
always glad to receive the good news
from heaven--the Gospel-their heav-
emily Fathers message to His children
on earth, no matter how severely it
may rebuke their shortcomings.
Rightly disposed Catholics do not
listen to sermons to be amused as at
a theater; nor to be flattered with
pleasant nothings as at reception;
IIOA " NC GLO a. 1CCGuLC'
but they go to hear the word of God
in order to nourish their souls with
spiritual truth: in order to increase
their stock of religious knowledge: in
order to catch some notes of that
blessed story so old yet ever new
the boundless mercy of Jesus Christ
by weak mortals: in order to hear of
the necessity of self-sacrifice; the
malice of sin; the need of grace; the
end of man; the love of God-eternity
all those important truths on which
depend human happiness here and
salvation hereafter
The Catholic sermon is not meant
to be literary production of rare
merit: nor a gem of oratory; nor a
recital Of things that please: but it
is intended to laud virtue and brand
vice--to make evildoers feel uncom-
Portable and displeased with them
selves--to encourage the good to rise
to heights of Righteousness reached
by the heroes and heroines of other
days; and to point all those who
have followed the mirage of sin back
to the pathway leading upward to
their heavenly Fathers home.

old CATHEDRAL BELL
DISCOVERED IN RUINS OF LIMA
CATHEDRAL BY TWO AMERI-
CAN DEALERs-IT Is 325 YEARS
OLD.

One of the most historic bells of the
South American church was discoy-
cred and brought to San Francisco by
two Oakland junk dealers, William
Rosenthal and Lewis Rothenberg, who
recently arrived from South America
on the steamer Cuzco. They were on
a buying trip in Peru and Chile for
two years.
The bell is S25 years old and hung
in the Cathedral of San Augustine at
Lima for more than two centuries. In
the revolution of 1895, the cathedral
was wrecked and the bell disappeared
The two Oaklanders bought the de-
bris of the cathedral and In excavat-
ing among the ruins found the bell.
1t was thought in Lima that it had
been stolen twenty years before.
Peruvians wished to buy the bell,
but the new owners thought it would
be worth more In this country, and re
fused to sell. The relic weighs 500
pounds and is of bronze, with inscrfp-
tons In gold.

THE CHURCH YEAR
CHRISTMAS, EASTER AND PEN
TEcosT CONSTITUTE THE PRIN-
ClPAL CYCLES OF THE EccLE-
SlASTICAL YEAR.

The year as arranged by the Church
is called the Church Year. The Church
arranges her year to suit her end and
purpose, namely, to glorify God and
to sanctify men, says the Pittsburgh
observer" In her year the Church
commentaries and renews the work
of our redemption, and makes avail
able for men the graces of redemp-
ton. To accomplish her end and
purpose, the Church celebrates
throughout her year feasts COM
memorative of the work of redemp-
ton, particularly feasts of our Lord,
and feasts of the Blessed Virgin and
the saints, to set forth and emphasize
how the graces of redemption have
been efficacious, and feasts OF the Holy
Angels to bring to mind their part in
the work of our redemption and
sanctification; she offers continuously
the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass; she
breaches the Word of God and adj
ministers the Sacramento instituted
by her Divine Founder and the Sacra-
mentals ordained by herself.
The Church Year begins with the
first Sunday of Advent. The Sunday
nearer the feast of st. Andrew the
Apostle (November 30) is the first
Sunday of Advent. The first Sunday
of Advent can fall anywhere from
November q to December 3, inclu.
sive
The principal facts in the work OF
our redemption and sanctifcation are:
l, the coming of the Redeemer; 2,
the work of redemption; 3, the work
of sanctifcation through the Holy
Ghost by applying the graces of re-
demption to the souls of men. Christ
mas commentaries the coming of the
Redeemer: Easter, the work of re-
demption; Pentecost, the work OF
sanctifcatien. These three feasts are
called the central feasts of the Church
Year, because around them all feasts
and seasons range.
The Church Year, then, is arranged
in three periods or cycles. Each cycle
is named from the central feast We
have therefore the division of the
Church Year into The Christmas Cy.

ST. MARY'S SEMINARY
BALTIMORE INSTITUTION MAY
BE REMOVED TO cAToNsvlLLE
ALMA MATER OF MANY DIS.
TINGUISHED CLERGYMEN.

Baltimore papers give currency to
the rumor that the famous old Mt
st. Mary's Seminary in that city
the alma mater of some of the most
distinguished men in the priesthood
in this country will shortly remove
to a new site at Gainesville, Nd. st.
Mary's is one of the country's most
venerable educational institutions and
has record that few American insti-
tutions can claim. Founded in 1891
by Bishop Carroll, who secured for the
institution the services of four Sulpi-
clans, the Seminary has since that
time been productive of the leading
lights of the Church in America. Dur
ing that time one Cardinal, six or
eight Archbishops, seven Bishops and
great number of Monsignors have
been educated within it's walls.

Excuses for Non-Attendance.


Worldly-minded Catholics are not
slow to find excuses for this neglect
of the word of God They sometimes
remark complacently that they do not
feel the need of hearing sermons be
cause they know beforehand the sub
stance of what will be preached to
them. That sounds plausible What
is the process by which such people
arrived at their abundant supply of
religious information? Perhaps they
got it by their extensive reading of
religious literature, but they show no
relish for spiritual books. Possibly
they cleaned it from the pages of their
Catechism in childhood days, but the
instruction impaired during those
years is very rudimentary and is
soon forgotten unless it be rec lled to
mind frequently. Even if Their claim
to sufficiency of religious knowledge
we're true they would still be wrong in
saying that it is useless to hear the
same great teachings of faith from the
lips Of those who are commissioned to

politan Council and two representa-
tives appointed by him. 1t was decided
that the business year begin October !
and end September 30, so as to enable
the Superior Council to prepare and
print it's report and have it in the
Office of the General Council before
the new year. The date of the next
meeting of the Superior Council will
coincide with that of the National
Conference of Catholic Charities in
September 1916.
The reports made at this meeting
showed conclusively that it is possible
wheresoever there are Catholics in
any reasonable number to not only
maintain societies in full accordance
with the rules, but to rival, almost
anywhere, the benevolent activities of
this great society in it's very best
days.
At the meeting there was repre-
scented 961 parish conferences and

was spent in charity. Employment
was found for 5000 persons; 2S8 700
visits were made to poor families
The Leading Societies.
New York City spends about $780,
900 each year in helping poor families,
and $4,000 in maintaining special
works of the society. About ten years
ago the New York council without a
dollar on hand purchased at cost of
| $4,000 few acres near New York, on
the Erie railway, and named it
Spring Valley. They have expended
on it to date more than 100000.
