sizes or visions rose to the height OF
great sanctity. The Little Flower of
Lisieux also followed st. Teresa's ex-
ample of. folding the choir cloaks for
the nuns when they left the monas-
terry chapel, and she tells us that her
favorite prayer was the Our
Father She wrote that when she
felt in a state of spiritual dryness she
recited every slowly" the Our Fa-
Their" and Hail Mary" and that these
prayers took her out of herself and
wonderfully refreshed her. The fol-
lowing words on prayer are very
similar to those Of st. Teresa-"I
simply tell Our Lord all that l want
and He understands"
A certain priest came to st. Teresa
one day asking her to admit to one
of her converts a very pious girl in
whom he was much interested. He
told the saint about the girls piety
and spirit of prayer. ST. Teresa re-
piled: IF she comes to us we shall
teach her how to pray, and God will
give her the gift of piety, but il she
has not common sense we shall not
be able to give it to her" There is
as much room for the exercise of COM
mon sense among religious people as
elsewhere. Let lis ask st. Teresa to
obtain this faculty for us.

A CONVERTS REASONS.

The late Monsignor Robert II. Ben
son sums up the reasons that helped
him to become Catholic, as follows:
Il studied the Gospels, and through
them | was led to the conviction that
the Roman Catholic Church was the
Church of Christ. My studies result
ed in the gathering of three impress
sions:
"First-The Catholic Church inter
prets the Bible more simply than any
other church, and, surely, the words
of Christ on important points are
clear, if words mean anything at all
| had heard that priests kept the
Bible away from their people, but as
read l discovered that nothing could
be more foolish, and / could not CON
ceive of a priest so stupid as to do
such a thing, for it is in the Gospels
that found the substantiatfon of the
Church.
"Second--T found that the Catholic
Church believed the Bible more than
those who claimed that it was the sole
rule of faith.
Third found that the Catholic
Church fulfilled what Christ has said
of His Church, that it would be un
popular, for it had ever been my ex
perience that in questions of contro
versy all others generally agreed to
disagree with Rome.
FINALLY came to the last argu
ment that fixed my decision, and fin
ished my struggle. Christ had spok
en- to st. Peter, telling him that He

FOR A CITIZEN.
It is the Correct Thing:-

It is the Correct Thing:-
For a citizen to remember that he
owes a duty to the community in
which he lives.
To know the difference between
craftsmanship and political wire-pull-

To remember that a trickster hold

the community which permitted his
election.
Before saying too much about the
State to have a fair idea of the men
who happen, for all practical purposes,
to be "the State"
To remember that parents and citi-
zens as individuals have certain func-
tons as individuals which can not be
thrown off upon the State.
To let love of country be second
only to love of God.
To know that the very least loyal
son of his country can do is to cast
his vote for good men and to help

To remember that q reputable citi-

To imagine that it is unworthy of a
man to take an interest in politics.
To think that a man entitled to the

To forget that in some instances
the State,' which few would have

far as real power is concerned, of
many political tricksters who use pub

their personal and party ends.
To talk about political corruption

A SAINT FOR THE WEEK.
ST. SYLVESTER, POPE.

Sylvester was born in Rome towards
the close of the third century. He
was a young priest when the last but
most bloody persecution of the Chris
tians broke ont under the tyrant Dio
cletian. Idols were erected at the
corners of the streets, in the market
places, and over the public fountains
so that it was scarcely possible for q
Christian to go abroad without being
put to the test Of Offering sacrifice
with the alternative of apostasy OF
death. During this fiery trial Sylves
ter strengthened the confessors and
martyrs, God preserving his life from
many dangers. In 312 new era set
in. Constantine having triumphed
under the standard of the Cross" de,
clared himself the protector of the
Christians, built them splendid
churches, amongst others the Lateran
Basilica, the Mother Church of Rome
and the world, with palace for the
Pope who had been the object of the
heather hate. At this juncture Syl-
Y6SlCE was CICCICu " IlIC ClIdll III
Peter, and was thus the first of the
Roman Pontiffs to rule the flock of
Christ in security and peace. He
proflted by these blessings to renew
the discipline of the Church, and in
two great Councils confirmed her
sacred truths. In the Council of Aries
he condemned the schism of the Don.
atists; and in that of Nicaea, the first
General Council of the Church, he
dealt Arianism its death-blow by de.
claring that Jesus Christ is the true
God. Sylvester died A. D. 1856.
st. Sylvester witnessed, indeed, the
end of the heather persecution, yet
other trials soon came upon the rulers
of Christ's Church. Barbarian hordes
Arian Lombards, German emperors
turbulent Italian mobiles, foreign usurp
ers, have in turn assailed the Holy
| City of Rome. OF the $50 Pontiffs
who have sat in Peters chair, besides
the thirty martyred in the first three
centuries, thirty Popes were compelled
| to go into exile, four were imprisoned
four were unable to set foot in the
Eternal City, seven reigned in Danish
ment at Avignon. Thus the condition
| of the Wears of Christ is to live as
their Master did, in state of suffer
ing, contradictions, and conflicts; but
like their Master again, they speal
/ in every age the words of eterna
truth, and outliVe the. prosecutions Of
men and Satan with a vitality which
comes from God.

COMMON SENSE PIETY.

st. Teresa, who, with all her mys-
ticism and holiness, was particularly
woman of common sense, says in
regard to prayer:
'It is so simple to pray. don't
ask of you high-fown thoughts or con-
siderations, but / do ask one thing of
you, and that is, to look at God:
Without a word being spoken or a
sign made, persons united in strong
affection have a mutual understand
ing by glance one from the other.
There is no question of many words
or long meditations, but there is a
question of much love. Prayer is a
loving intercourse with God. In
prayer we must treat God as father,
brother, or spouse"
A spiritual writer, Monsignor Ian
driot, says in comment on these
words of st. Teresa: Prayer is a
loving converse with Almighty God,
and not one of constraint or fear.
Does q child tremble when he greets
his mother in the early morning? If
he has displeased her he tells her he
he is repentant, and then he is trust
full of her forgiveness and leaves her
presence happy, with the assurance
of pardon, and hopeful of future i'm
provement." If souls would only fol
low the advice of St. Teresa, and in
prayer speak to God "as father, a
brother or a spouse how easily they
would reach to the heights of con-
temptation.
In this way st. Teresa's piety is
imitable, as it makes evident that
perfection did not consist for her in
the extraordinary graces with which
she was favored, but in the joyous
practise of every virtue, in the con-
slant and trustfuI raising of her heart
to God Today, again, so many cen.
turtles after the death of this great
saint, we also find the same thought
put before us in the life of one OF
her spiritual children, Sister Teresa
of the Infant Jesus. This, pure, holy,
and courageous soul, without costa

THE NEW YEAR FESTIVALS-THE
CIRCUMCISION AND THE
EPIPHANY.

Two great festivals appropriately
mark the beginning of the New Year;
the Circumcision of our Divine Lord
and the Epiphany or Manifestation of
the newborn Saviour to the Gentle
Nations, represented by the Magi or
Wise Men from the East.
st. Luke says: after eight days
were accomplished, that the Child
should be circumcised, His name was
called Jesus, which was called by the
angel before He was conceived st.
Luke III, 81. In order to fulfill all
Justice, Jesus submitted to this hunifl-
iating rite and thus began to bear
the stigma Of the sins of the world
which He had taken upon Himself.
He began to suffer for us, as mere
child. He underwent Circumcision
that He might set us free from it's
bondage, by substituting for it puri-
fieation more elevated, more spiritual
that of the heart and of the hearts

BENEDlCTION.


Without, the sullen noises of the
street!
The voice of London, inarticulate,
Hoarse and disappearing, surges in to
meet
The silent blessing of the Immacu-
late.
Dark is the church, and dim the wor-
shippers,
flushed with bowed heads as though
by some old spell,
While through the incense-laden air
there stirs
The admonition of a silver bell.
Dark is the church, save where the al
tar stands,
Dressed like bride, illustrious with
light,
Where one old priest exalts with
tremulous hands
The one true Solace of mans fallen
plight.
Strange silence here: without, the
sounding street
Heralds the worlds swift passage to
the fire;
o Benediction, perfect and complete!
When shall men cease to suffer and
desire?

Shepherd. The Door had said to Peter
KNOCK, and it shall be opened unto
you The Foundation had said, Thou
art Peter, and upon this rock I shall
build my Church. The Shepherd had
said, Feed my lambs, feed my sheep.

it in the Church Of Rome"

FIGHTING AT THE DARDANELLES FILLS TURKISH
HEARTS WITH FEAR

Athens, June 1.-Two Turkish
aeroplanes that recently few over
Constantinople were mistaken for
Russian by the Turks, who opened up
brisk gunfre that brought down
both machines and killed two of the
army's best aviators.
According to other accounts brought
to Athens by travellers, the people of
Constantinople are in an excited state
of mind. At the beginning of the war
they were entirely confident. But
the arrival of the first wounded from
the Dardanelles proved a painful sur
prise The people had gathered at
the docks to see ,as they expected,
bands of British and French prison
ers landed. Instead, they saw thou
sands of their own wounded. A dem
onstration against the war, led large
ly by women, followed in front of the
war Office, but was dispersed.
Constantinople's hospitals are now
crowded with wounded, who receive
scant care. The Turks lack doctors,
nurses, gauze, bandages and medical
supplies and the hospitals are prim-
tive in their arrangements and sani-
tation.

PROGRESS MADE BY
MARION COLORED PEOPLE

The Tribune has several times call
ed editorial attention to the splendid
record being made by the negroes Of
Ocala and Marion county, in the line
of constructive and progressive en-
terprises. Sometime ago, the Tri-
bune spoke of the negro bank at
Ocala and it is now a pleasure to re-
cord the success of a manufacturing
enterprise inaugurated and being con-
Quoted by colored men of that city.
A stock company of negroes has
established a knitting factory at
Ocala which is pointing the way to
Floridians, not only negroes but
whites as well, toward commercial
independence and industrial supre-
macy. The need of diversified manu-
featuring enterprises In this state
has long been stressed by the press.
These Ocala negroes have gone ahead
with a practical illustration of the
possibilities. of small manufacturing
concerns. Their knitting mill is turn
ing out excellent garments, the out
put, so far, being limited to under
wear. 1t has a capacity of sixty doz-
en- garments daily and operates four
large knitting machines and many
smaller machines for making union
suits and other varieties of under
garments. 1t gives employment to a
number of girls and men and is de-
veloping a demand for its goods. The
company has received many letters
of encouragement from prominent
Floridians. w. A. McRae, state com
missioner of agriculture, writes: "The
building of this factory is a step in
the right direction for Florida's de-
velopment. We must quit telling the
people what-we can do in Florida. We
must be able to show them. No state
has so much to show"
The example of the Ocala negroes
who are conducting this knitting mil
ought to be followed by others, unit
this state reaches the point of manu-
featuring a considerable portion OF
the products demanded by its owr
people.-Tampa Tribune.
