STORY or A cRuclFIx.

A few years ago there lived an
though brought up as Catholic, was
a sworn enemy to religion and never
said prayer. He had servant who,
unlike his master, had not belied his
early training, but every day said his
prayers devoutly before a crucifix
the little room where he slept. When
the officer saw the crucifix he ordered
it to be instantly taken down. Not
long after he became dangerously ILL.,,
and grew rapidly worse, so that the
doctor declared that the case was
hopeless, and in fact he had but a
few hours to live. Then his pious
servant resolved to make an earnest
attempt to save his masters soul. Go
ing close up to him, he said:
Sir, there is some one waiting out
side, no other than your best friend.
He is most DESTROYS to come in and
be reconciled to you. May l admit
him."
The sick man was much surprised;
he wondered who it could be who
wanted to see him, and told his man
to show the stranger in. Then the
servant fastened to fetch his crucifix,
which used to hang on the wall, and,
bringing it to his master, he held it
up before him, saying:
"Oh, dear sir, here is your best
friend, one who your whole life long
has shown you so much kindness and
bestowed so many benefits upon you,
and who you nevertheless have hither-
to only repulsed and prosecuted. He
is infinitely merciful; He longs to be
reconciled to you before your death
Do not turn Him away this time
And now behold miracle of grace;
the dying man took the crucifix in his
hand, kissed it with tears in his eyes
and told the servant to go at once
and bring a priest. The priest came
without delay, the officer made hum
BILE and contrite confession of the sins
of his past life and expired in the
best dispositions. How we'll it is
when impenitent sinners upon their
deathbeds are openly exhorted by
their friends or attendants to repent
and be converted. Those who refrain
from speaking through false delicacy
or fear of giving offense, are no true
friends to the sick person.

PRIVATE JUDGMENT.

I turned first to Scripture, and tried
to read it without prejudice, as if it
were direct message from God to me,
writes Mgr. Benson in Beyond the
Road to Rome" l knew it was much
more than this; but at least it was
this. had already read all the con-
troVersialists | could find on either
side;. but like the woman in the Gospel
who had spent all her substance upon
physicians, / grew worse. tried,
therefore, to set all these aside, and to
come to Christ so far as He showed
Himself to me in the garments of
Scripture.
Now my Private Judgment upon
Scripture told me that the simplest in
depreciation of Christ's words, as re-
garded the authority by which Chris
tianity must be interpreted, was that
He appointed Peter to be the Head of
His Church and that He intended the
Office of Peter to be the permanent
foundation of that Church. The Good
Shepherd" babe Peter feed His sheep;
the "One Foundation" named Cephas
as the Rock on which the Church
should be built; the Door gave Peter
the Keys. These, and twenty-six other
less significant texts, appeared to my
Private Judgment, therefore, to sup
port the Roman Catholic claims.
But how was l to test the soundness
of my view? The only other guide /
had was, as has been said, History.
So l turned to History in its broadcast
aspect; and there l became aware of
startling confederation of my view.
For | found, roughly speaking, that
those Christians who based their re-
| ligion upon that view, were remarkable
throughout the whole world, and
through the whole course of it, for
complete unanimity upon all other
points of doctrine; that they produced
Saints such as no other body pro,
duced; and that those signs and mar
vels accompanied them which Christ
said should accompany His disciples
And, on the other side, found that
those who rejected the Petrine claims
were VIGOROUSLY disunited on points
of doctrine, that they were beginning
to give up even belief in that kind
of supernatural intervention which is
called miraculous.
History, then, seemed to me to cor
roborate that which appeared to be
the evident meaning of Scripture, and
4 the record of God in His dealings with
men in general 1t ratified the record
of that particular and unique dealing
of God with men which we call Revela
! ton.

THE THEOLOGICAL VIRTUES.

Man, on account of the gift of rea-
son, on account of his understanding,
is said to be only little less than
the angels, says writer in the Cath
Ollie Universe" This great endow-
ment raises him above every other
creature on earth. This faculty is one
of immense power and it may be and
frequently is the source of immense
pride.
Man wishes to increase the circle
of his knowledge, and hence is loathe
to confess himself baffled and unable
to comprehend. Hence, when he must
admit that there is much beyond the
scope of his understanding, he has to
accept many things, on faith and to
own superior. Faith may be called
the worship of the understanding.
When we accept and believe all that
God teaches us in humble submission
to His word we exercise the virtue of
faith.
If men refuse to practice this virtue
or to make this sacrifice all others
are insufficient to satisfy our Creator,
as without faith it is impossible to
please God" The simplicity and char
acter of our faith is pointed out in the
words OF Our Lord: Unless You be.
come as little children you shall not
enter into the kingdom of Cod
We also worship God by the virtue
of hope. BY it we make the promises
of God and God Himself the object oil
our desires. Where thy treasure is
there is thy heart also.' If we set our
hearts too much upon the things of
this world and place them before God
and do not make God the ultimate OBJ.
ject of our desires it is useless for us
to say that we really worship God.
| God must be above all and in us
all. He must not only be the object
of the understanding and of the de
sires, but also of the affections. The
virtue of charity requires this. God
wants our affections: My son, give
Me thy heart. IF deliver my body
to be. burned and have not charity, il
profiteth me nothing. Nothing else
will supply the place of this Worship
of the affections. You may be lavish
Of your time and of your money and
of your labor in the cause of religion
but all viii be in vain If you do not
add to them the gift and the worship
of your heart. Faith. hope and charity

CHRISTIANITY AND WOMAN.

The coming of Christianity into the
world constituted an d epoch in the
emancipation of woman from the
slavery to which paganism had de-
based her, says The Rosary Maya
zine." The three great blots of pagan
civilization were, the inequality of
rights and duties between man and
woman, man had no duties. he had
the child, and the complete subordina-
tion of the family to the State. In
relation to man, woman had no rights;
she had only duties. In relation TO
woman, man had no duties; he had
only rights. I'm the domestic life, Of
Rome says Denis, "the father, as
head of the family, had extraordinary
powers. The family was altogether
in his hands. He BAs king and Judge
of the domestic circle, and there was
no limit to the exercise of his power,
except, perhaps, the timidity of his
natural dispositions, or the fear of
public opinion The law permitted
the husband to put his wife to death
on the mere suspicion of infidelity,
while the law forbade her to institute
judicial proceedings against her
spouse.
Such was the position woman occu-
pied in the Roman world when Chris
tianity came to her rescue. To put an
end to the sad state of things that
existed, Christianity established the
indissoluble bond of matrimony. 1t
was the surest way to restore woman
to her dignity. Without this funda-
mental condition of stability it was
vain to talk of equality between man
and woman. 1t was on this condition
that the words of st. Paul we're based
when he said in his first Epistle to
| the Corinthians Let the husband
recognize his duties to his wife as the
wife to her husband" Henceforth
woman was to have a moral equality
with man, doctrine which Aristotle,
in his Politics, denied. Henceforth
man should respect woman, for he
knew, that, as St. Thomas says, she
was created by God and destined to
the same end as himself" Hence
forth, also, woman could, if man re.
fused, force him to concede her the
rights to which she had a just claim
Before Christianity appeared to better
her lot, man only recognized the law
of force where woman was concerned;
she had to be content with obedience
and dependence Christianity changed
all this and established as the bond
between them the law of love and
respect. ST. Paul promulgates this law
of love when he says in his Epistle to
the Ephesians: Husbands love your
wives as Christ loved His Church,
and, again: Let every one of you in
particular love his wife as himself
Woman had her rights and her duties
in relation to man, as man had his
rights and duties in relation to woman
Under the law of Christianity the
exaggeration hitherto accepted o.
woman's duties and mans rights dis
appeared and lost all the bitterness il
had brought to womans life.

must be united. The worship of the
understanding, the Worship of the de-
sires and the worship of the affections
must be joined together as in golden
chain to make service acceptable to
God. .1
If we are to let our light shine be.
fore Others there must be some ex-
ternal indication of our good actions.
Since we are composed of both body
and soul, it is but reasonable that both
body and soul should pay homage to
God. There never has been and we
cannot imagine a religion without
some external manifestation of wor-
ship. Moreover, since man is social
being, there must be some kind of SO.
cial or united worship given to God by
the society of men. HI
There are two texts of Scripture
that confront us. The one is: 1.-THE
Lord thy God shalt thou adore, and
Him only shalt thou serve" The other
is: Cursed is he who does the work
of the Lord negligently." How many
really give ungrudgingly to God that
worship and that obedience which be-
longs to- Him?
Possibly the complaint which God
made against the Jews through the
prophet jeremiah Jeremiah ii:20)
might be applied to many of us: "Of
old time thou hast broken my yoke.
thou hast burst my bands and thou
saidst, / will not serve"
Some men in their conceit care for
none of these things" They jauntily
say that religion is good for women
and for children" and treat the sub.
ject with more or less patronage and
condescension. Such persons are in
miserable spiritual condition. All
of us should realize that our first duty
is to worship God Who created us.
Some mean to be religious, and are
SO after a fashion. They will make
some sacrifices for religion and pro.
TESS to care much for it. but they put
religion in the second place. In mind.
ing what some call "the main chance"
they ignore the command: Seek first
the kingdom of God and His justice
and all these things will be added
unto you" Religion with them is a
convenience and not duty. The very
idea of God implies that His service
must necessarily come first-and be
the first in the hearts and minds of all
intelligent creatures. When we run
in the race for heaven we must so
run as to obtain The incorruptible
crown is worth all our endeayors.

so signal manner The church, in
order to help us fulfill these divine
orders, determines the days on which,
during the year, we shall give to God
that special tribute Of acknowledgment
and gratitude, which is His due from
us. God commands us to sanctify
by the works of religion and worship
the days that are sacred to Him; and
the Church, by her commandments.
prescribes that on the days commend
ed by the Lord, we shall render our
act of religious worship by assisting
at the Holy Sacrifice of the Body and
Blood of Christ. God commands us to
go show ourselves to the priests whom
He has invested with the power to
bind and forgive sins, in order that
we may obtain from them the pardon
which our sincere repentance and con-
fession may merit. Our Divine
Savior wishes us to be nourished with
His sacred Body and Blood and warns
us of the danger of exclusion from
eternal life if we disobey. The
Church, by her commandments, pre-
scribes the time when this important
duty shall be complied with, and
commands us to approach the Holy
Table of the Body of the Lord at least
during Easter time. The obligation
of penance is very clearly imposed
upon us by God for the modification
of our passions, the expiation of our
sins, and the satisfaction due to the
justice of God. In order to help us
fulfill this commandment, the Church
.prescribes, during the year, different
days for fasts and abstinence. Hence,
we see that the commandments of the
Church do not impose upon us any new
obligations, but simply show us how
we may fulfill the different precepts.
Thus the Church acts toward us like
a wise mother.
