THE BLESSED SACRAMENT.

A very beautiful illustration of love
and veneration for the Blessed Sacra-
ment is given in the biography of the
late Bishop Curtis, Wilmington, Del.
After the Bishop had voluntarily re-
tired from the administration of the
see-owing to broken health and adj
vancing years-he became a member
of Cardinal Gibbons household. Sc
lecting room just under the roof the
Bishop spent there part of his lei
sure hours reading, writing, studying
and praying. But to visit the Blessed
Sacrament was the dearest of all his
occupations. Often he rose during the
night, crossed the yard that separ-
ated the house from the Cathedral,
and, entering the sanctuary, remained
there for hours. One bitterly cold
night, when freezing sleet made walk.
ing difficult, the Bishop crawled on
hands and knees along the icy path.
Being asked how he passed the time
in the sanctuary, he replied, "Oh, /
stay there like a dog at the feet of
my Master"
The humility of this lover of the
Blessed Sacrament made him willing
to fill the lowliest place. What mat
tered if he could only be in the Pres
ence? His heart and soul were salts
fed.

Al SAINT FOR THE WEEK.
ST. cALLIsTus, POPE, MARTYR.

+ Z
EARLY in the third century Callistus,
then deacon, was Entrusted by Pope
st. Zephyrinus with the rule of the
clergy, and set by him over the GENE
teries of the Christians at Rome. The
charge was no light one. He who I'M
dertook it became, in sense, the
guardian and Judge of his brethren,
with an authority only second to that
of the bishop; and, at the death of
.Zephyrinus, Callistus, according to the
Roman usage, succeeded to the Apos-
tolic See. "A decree is ascribed to him
appointing the four fasts of the Ember
seasons, but his name is best known
i'm connection with the old cemetery on
the Appian Way, which was enlarged
and adorned by. him, and is called to
this day the Catacomb of st. Callistus.
In it were laid SIS. Sebastian, Cor
nelius, Damascus, and, as the legend
over the entrance tells us, 100000 mar
tyrs end 46 Popes, whose bodies are
buried in peace; who came out of
great tribulation, having endured for
the name of Christ the pains of death,
that they might obtain an inheritance
in the house of the Lord Callistus
added another name to the list of
those grand silent Pontiffs who fed
and governed the flock of Christ, and
at last, after the example of the Good
Shepherd, whose worthy Wears they
were, gave their lives for the sheep
He was martyred October 14th, 223.
During the persecution under the
Emperor Severus, st. Callistus was
driven to take shelter in the poor and
populous quarters of the city; yet, in
spite of these troubles, and of the care
of the church, which pressed so heav-
lily upon him, he made diilgent search
for the body of Calipodius, one of his
clergy who had suffered martyrdom
shortly before. When he had found it
he was full of joy, and buried it, with
hymns of praise, in the cemetery
which was afterwards called by his
name.

POPULAR APoLocETlcs.
Adapted from the German of Rev.
Peter Mikes, S. j., by Rev.
James Watcher.

Section a.. God and the World.
N. B. We have thus far considered
objections to Religion; we will now
consider about an equal number un-
der the heading "God and the World"
XIV. God Can't BE Found.
Objections: With the gigantic
strides of modern science all nature
has been explored and no God has
been found in it. There is no God.
Answer: l have examined my
watch with the greatest care but have
found no watch maker in it. But !
know that there is watch maker,
even though l have never seen him.
Goethe says we'll: rs there after all
such great mystery, what God and
man and the world are? No, but no
one likes to hear it, and therefore it
remains a mystery"
XVI. A False Conclusion.
Objections: You draw the above
conclusion from experiences, from
similar cases. But we have no expe-
rience, no similar case of creation.
Hence your conclusion is false
Answer: | do not conclude this
from experience or similar cases;
conclude it from the law of logical
thinking, from the law of causation,
that is, that every being must have a
sufficient cause for its existence. If
had never seen a watch before, ex-
aiming it's artistic arrangement, |
would know that it's maker must be an
intelligent being, and hence it did
not come into existence by mere
chance.
In similar way we conclude from
the existence of the great world-clock
that it owes it's existence to an intel
ligent maker, creator, and not to
mere chance.
XVII. The Belief In Coda Product
of Fear.
Objections: The fear of thunder
and lightning and similar natural phe-
nomena produced in the wild first man
the belief in God.
Answer: %. The oldest history
of mankind knows nothing of wild
first man." but on the contrary history
shows us the first man in a high state
of mental culture, from which he sank
later into a state of barbarism.
(2). Also in heathenism the high.
est gods were considered as beneyo
lent beings from whom man expected
more good than evil.
60. 1t is more correct to say
Fear has not produced the belief in
God, but rather the denial of His ex-
istence, that is, the fear of an eternal
and just judge. Sir Francis Bacon
we'll says: "Deum esse memo negat,
nisi cui Deum non esse expedit," that
is, mo one denies God except he for
whom it is expedient if there were NO
God" There is no God means in
plain language: 1 wish there were nc
God, for have reasons to fear Him.
q. Schmitz, Kleine Apologetik, p. 81
The wish is father of the thought.

FEES FOR MASSES.

The rendering of such pecuniary of,
ferings seems at times to excite sur
prise, and even to scandalize. Why any
Catholic should take offense it is diff
cult to say, says writer in the Cleve.
land Universe" Certainly non-Cath-
olics have no ground for scandal, see
ing that precisely the same system is
recognized and practiced among them
Anglican clergymen and other non
Catholic ministers receive fees for
baptisms, marriages and burials. There
is absolutely no essential difference
between this and the giving of a
stipend to a Catholic priest for q Mass
to be said by him for IAN intention
of the donor. e., to obtain from
Almighty God some spiritual or tenn
poral favor, either for himself or
others in whom he is interested. OF
course, there is no comparison be-
tween burial, for example, and the
Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. But the
difference is merely one of degree. not
of principle. Both are, as far as con-
Germs the service performed, spiritual
things, and in consideration of that
performance money is given by those
asking for the rite.
OF course, the reason why people
take exception to the system of sti.
ponds for spiritual functions is pretty
evident. They fancy that a degrad
ing commercial bargain takes place
and that the priest practically barriers
away things of God for filthy lucre.
Such q bargain would indeed be wick
ed 1t would constitute the vile sin
The Catholic bulletin. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1911-1995, 1915-10-16

graver forms, especially in connection
with Masses, benefices and indulgen-
ces. Even where proceeding is not
truly simoniacal, but might appear so
to less discriminating or i'll disposed
minds, she forbids the transaction.
Thus, for example, Rome, in her
official capacity, returned an uncon-
ditional negative reply to the follow
ing question sent up for settlement:
May a person who has bought
crosses, medals, etc., for the purpose
of distributing them after they have
been blessed and had indulgences
attached, ask without sin for the price
of them, or do this without mourning
the forfeiture of the indulgence?"
Let it be noticed that such person
might merely be seeking to recover
the cost price of the material of the
objects mentioned, and not dream Of
remuneration for the spiritual i'm
provements And, in fact, such a
course is intrinsically free from the
stain of simony. But Rome will have
none of it, so anxious is she to re-
move the very semblance of this
hideous blemish from her scored
ministry.
To conclude. There is nothing that
the Church provides which is more
highly valued by the genuine Catholic
than Holy Mass. In the dark days
of Tudor tyranny our Catholic fore
fathers lost whole fortunes as a pen
atty for preferring Mass in a garnet
to attendance at the multilated rite,
by law established, in desecrated
churches.
