OUR LADYs, MONTH.

All the months and all the years be-
long to God, and some of these are
more especially his, in human regard,
by reason of the beautifully mystic
happenings related to them. May
and October are peculiarly dear to the
Catholic heart because they are dedi-
Gated to the Virgin Mother of God,
and June to st. Joseph, her chaste
spouse and temporal protector and
provider. November is mournfully
priced, too, for the reason that so
flfahy OF The Holy Soils await our
pious pleadings to Mary that she may
obtain from her Divine Son their
early Acknowledgement.
1t is very difficult to fathom the
reasoning which sees in Catholic ven
Grafton of the Blessed Virgin a fact
derogatory to the SURPRISING dignity
of God. Such DIRECTORS appear to be
unable to grasp the full meaning of
the mystery of the Incarnation. This
mystery, they seem to forget, was a
union-a hypostatic union, as it is
rightly termed-of the Divine nature
with the human nature; and If they
were able to realize the true import of
that tremendous fact, they then would
not have the least difficulty in COM
| pretending also the other mystery of
the Immaculate Comprehensive it
must follow as heat from fire that the
God of all holiness, purity and truth
could never be united, hypostatically
or in any other PERSONAL sense, with
nature sullied by the Inheritance of
| disobedience.
This particular age is one in which
the lesson of Mary's sweet humility
is invaluable as lesson for those
men of goodwin who are really de-
sirous of bringing about harmonious
ion. True science is modest; presump-
tuous science demands from God an
answer as to why, how and for what
purpose He created, if He did create,
the visible universe. When Mary, the
white-souled and ingenious, demanded
of the Angel Ambassador how could
the fact which he foreshadowed be
brought about, under the conditions of
her holy life, she did not question as
to the process which he intimated. 1t
was enough for her to be assured that
the power of God was to do it. This
was all-sufficient. She was able at
once to realize the awful grandeur
and glory of the distinction which
was to be hers and prophetically in
spired to proclaim aloud her sublime
eestacy of soul over the tidings, in the
words of eternal truth, Behold, ali
generations shall call me. blessed .
The Handmade of the Lord was to be
blessed ON earth and blessed forever
| in Heaven as well--as the only NOR
tai being that ever was so honoured.
Similar was the faith of the Dis
ciples when our Divine Lord instituted
that greatest Of all mysterious ties
1 between Creator and creature-the
mystery of the Eucharist. When He
gave them the amazing assurance
that the bread He offered them was
His body and the wine His blood
they knew that He, stated what was

had nearly all been made clear by

to be the cement for His Church, to
