"A SAINT FOR THE WEEK.
ST. CLEMENT OF ROME.

ST. Clement is said to have been a
convert of noble birth. The early
Fathers identified him with the Gle
ment whose name st. Paul declares
to the Philippians was written I'M the
Book of Life; and Tertullian assures
us that Clement was consecrated
bishop by st. Peter himself. Be that
as it may, it is certain thatshe has
seen the Apostles and conversed with
them. With their divine words still
ringing in his ears, he began to rule
the Church of God; and thus he was
among the first, as he was among the
most illustrious, in the long line of
those who have. held the place and
power of Peter. Clement entered on
his high Office in evil days. He lived
at the same time and in the same city
with Domitian, the prosecutor of the
Church; and besides external foes he
had to contend with schis1n and re-
bellion from within. The Corinthian
Church was torn by internal strife,
and its members set the authority of
their clergy at defiance. 1t was then
that st. Clement interfered I'M the
plentitude Of his apostolic authority,
and sent his famous ,epistle to the Cor
inthians. He urged the duties Of char
ity, and above all of submission to the
clergy. He did not speak in vain;
peace and order was restored. st.
Clement had done. his work on earth,
and shortly after sealed with his own
blood the faith which he had learned
from Peter and taught to the nations.
Would you learn how to. venerate
the teaching Of the Church and of the
Pope: Then look to the first days of
the Church and to the disciples of the
Apostles. Although the Corinthians
had sinned by schism and rebellion,
they were appeased when once the
Pope had spoken, and they received
Clements letter almost as if it had
been inspired. Not long after the
middle of the second century, st. Di,
onysius tells us that in his time the
epistle of Clement was still read pub
licly from time to time in the Corinth
ian Church, as they also read another
letter recently received from one oil
st. Clements successors; and long
after we know that other Churches
showed like reverence to st. Gle
ment and his epistle.

CONSIDER OF THE AFFLIcT Ed.

Preaching on the occasion of the
feast of Our Lady of Sorrows a Lon
don priest, Father hampton, S. j.,
showed the sweet reasonableness of
the devotion Catholics practise to the
Mother of Sorrows. In the course of
his sermon the preacher said:
u believe it is simple truth to
say that one of the chief functions in
the world for women is to comfort
men. Man has a courage of his own,
proper to himself Mans courage is
physical. And the courage proper to
woman is moral courage, which gives
her often the spirituality in times
of trial which enables her to comfort
him and even give to him the strength
he needs. 80. But if she is to- do
SO to the full she must be good
woman, virtuous woman, and, more.
over, must be a woman who has her
self suffered. Such a one has felt the
need of comfort herself, she knows
what comfort rings true in sorrow and
what rings false. And knowing this,
she knows best how to impart it. The
good woman, the sorrow-stricken
woman, she is the one who can often
be veritable 'consolatrix afflictorum,
and there is one woman who in her
womanhood stands alone and un
rivaled and unchallenged, one supreme
in her womanhood, in her goodness,
and in her sorrows, too, supreme.
Supreme in her womanhood, for she
is the blessed among women SUI
preme in her motherhood, for she is
the Mother of God made Man. SUI
preme in her maidenhood, for she is
His Virgin Mother. Supreme in
grace, in faith, in hope, in charity.
Supreme in geRtleness, meekness and
tenderness, and supreme, above all, in
her Unreasonable purity. And in her
sorrows, too, supreme. for she is the
woman whose soul the sword of sor-
row pierced right through. If woman
can comfort man, and it is the good
woman, and the suffering woman, who
can comfort man the most, then sure
~ here is the woman who is above all.
others 'consolatrix afflictorum
"And so it is to our Blessed Mother
Mary that we Catholics turn in our
hour of trouble. And do we by this do
wrong to God2 Do we do wrong to-
His love and His pity for us? 1t is
not as of we doubted them; we are
sure of them both. But it is God Him
self Who comforts us through Mary
That is one of His ways of imparting
His own divine comfort to us. He
has given us the Sacred Heart of His
Son to represent the strong side of
His love for us all, the love of One
Who gave His life for His friends;
and God has given us Mary, the
Mother of His Son to represent to us
another side of His love for us, the
tender love of mother for her child.

A TEST OF LIFE.

If you desire to have a. test where

of the Resurrection in you, see how

you believe to bear, ill-will to you,

It's Consequences" They are among
your best friends. The friends that

suns light which come down on the
leaves and on the earth, here and
there, broken and scattered, little; it
may be, but still the sun is there; so
In the worst of men, unless they be
reprobate, there are still some traces
of God. Look and find them; if you
have charity, you will have eyes to
see that suns light; and though you
cannot be blind to their sin--fer you
must see it, il you have light and dis

ertheless, in your conduct towards
those who are sinful, and in your
treatment Of sinners, you will be as
IF you were blind, you will be even as
our Lord is to you, WHO, although He
sees every sin in you bears with you
with an immutable patience never
sharpens His voice, never makes ges-

fax is not yet quenched and the reed
not yet broken, He bears with you
with a divine pity, So bear with your
enemies. And this charity of our
heart will overflow to all the works
of God. All the creation of God is a
mirror in which Gods. glory, pity,
sweetness, and goodness are reflected;
and all the creatures are, as it were, a
ladder of ascent whereby to 60 up into
the heart of God. 1t is through His
creatures that He speaks to us. We
shall love everything that He has
made: the trees of the forest and
the flowers of the field and the dumb
creatures they all will be the objects
of love and Kindness because they are
loved by their Maker, and their
Makers hand is seen upon them.

WHO CAN GIVE EXTREME uNc-

The priest only is the minister of
the Sacrament of Extreme Unction.

the contrary opinion: IF any one
says that the elders of the Church,
whom Blessed James wishes to be
called to anoint the sick, are. not the
priests ordained by the Bishop, but
the more advanced in age in the COM
munity, and that, therefore, the proper
minister of Extreme JUNCTION is not
the priest only, let him me anathema."
The word used by St. James means,
in the Greek version and the Latin
Vulgate, according to the constant
Interpretation of the Church and of
the sacred writer's, priests, although
the word in itself means also elder
or more advanced in age. A similar
word was used by st. Paul in his first
letter to Timothy, and is applied by
our adversaries not to lay elders, but
to ecclesiastical ministers. Besides,
as the priest is the only minister of
penance, SO he must also be of Ex-
IRENE JUNCTION, because the latter, as
the Council of Trent teaches, is the
complement of the former. Every
priest can validity confer this Sacra-
ment even if he were excommuni-
Gated, suspended or interdicted, be-
cause, as this Sacrament has not been

authority than that conferred by or.
dination for it's valid administration
For the licit or lawful administra-
ton, however, except in the case of
necessity, the proper minister is the
pastor or the priest to whom he has
entrusted the charge. In a case of
necessity, If the pastor cannot be
found or his consent obtained, any
and every priest can licitly administer
Extreme Unction.
Priests having charge of souls are
obliged by justice and under pain of
mortal sin to administer Extreme
Unction to their subjects either by
themselves or by another priest at
their request. They would be guilty
of mortal sin if, through their culpable
negligence, a parishioner of theirs
would not be anointed when in danger
of death. The good shepherd must
provide for his flock, not only that
which is absolutely necessary but also
that which is very useful to salvation.
If the sick person be in real need of
his services, because it may be sup
posed that he is in mortal sin, the
pastor is obliged to administer Elk
treme Unction, even with certain
danger to his own life.
Priests not having charge of souls
are not obliged to this by justice, but
by charity, and should there be rea-
son to suppose that in a certain case
this Sacrament would be a necessary
means of salvation for the sick per-
son, they would be obliged under pain
of mortal sin, to administer it to him
even at the certain risk of their lives.

THE LIFE or MARY.

Mary's life of expectation was a
life of the highest spiritual perfec-
tions, occupied with divine mysteries
and anticipating celestial bliss, says
Father Faber. 1t was life which was
raising her sanctity hourly to greater
heights of wonderful attainment. TWAS
a life of unearthly grandeur, absorbed
in God, and drawing its waters out of
the deepest wells in eternal things. 1t
was life without precedent, life
inimitabIe, life to which only silent
thought can do justice, and that in
a most inadequate degree. Yet
wlthal it was a life of extremely
natural beauty, life exceedingly
human. 1t was as il grace had
become nature, rather than supersed-
ed it. The earthly element seemed
to be that which held it together and
gave it unity. 1t was feminine as
we'll as sanity. 1t was precisely
it's sanctity which appeared to make
it SO exquisitely feminine. It was
possibility of beautiful nature
realized by Him Who is the Author
both of nature and of grace. 1t was
the canonisation of mothers love,
in the light of which we see for mo-
ment that deep tenderness in God
out of which maternal love proceeds,
and whose pure delights it adum-
brates. Thus her life, while it was
contemporary with the life of the
Word in her bosom, was a thorough
ly human life, altogether a created
life, and as Enthusiastically "a
created life as the life of the Father.
with the Eternal Son in His bosom,
was as uncreated life. OF a truth
it was often thus said with Mary,
that, when she was most wonderful,
she was then most human. It was
SO now; it was so at the end of the
twelve years in the temple of
jerusalem: it was SO beneath the
cross, with the dead body lying on
her lap. Her royal womanly nature
lent grace to the very graces
which adorned her, and it was in the
light of earth, which was round her
brow, that the jewels of her heavenly
crown shone with the sweetest and
even with the divinest radiance. He.
Who left heaven in quest of an earth
~ nature, has enhanced. not over
whelmed. by His excess of glory, the
earthly beauty of His Mother. Mary
is not thing, a splendor, marvel,
a trophy; she is living person; and
therefore it is her nature as womanj
which crowns her unspeakable
maternity. God has not overpowered
her with His magnifcence. Rather

THE HOLY GHOST AND THE SUI.
FERlNG SOULS.

The Holy Ghost, by His Divine
Revelation, has made known to us
the state and condition of the suffer
ing souls. He has, moreover, placed
ut our disposal means whereby we
can assist them, and we who on earth
have both time and opportunity to
show them this mark of charity, in
proportion to our devotion to the same
Holy Spirit of God, will feel ourselves
moved and impelled so to do; for the
more a soul is filled with the charity
of God, possessed of the Holy Ghost,
Who is Infinite Charity, the greater is
its zeal on behalf of those who are
suffering in Plrgatory. and thus does
the Holy Ghost console the suffering
souls.
Holy Church comprises not only the
faithful on earth, and those who are
in Heaven, but also those in Pur-
gatory. Upon earth the faithful are
fighting the good fight against sin and
hell; those who are already in Heaven
now rest from their labor, crowned
with victory; but in Purgatory they
are suffering for certain time, that
they may become entirely purified be-
fore being admitted into Heaven,
there to see God face to face, and love
and enjoy Him for ever; for nothing
detiled can enter Heaven.
Purgatory is a passing state which
ends in life of everlasting happiness.
Yet for those who suffer therein, the
duration of their pains seem almost
intending, so great and so intense are
they; and Holy Church places on their
lips these words of holy Job: Have
pity on me, have pity on me, at least.
