the obstacles that threaten to block
our way.
Let us not forget also that we shall
need to ''stone our fields more than
once. In sections of our country the
farmer knows that he has need of
frequent examinations of the soil, for
every year the ground seems to grow
a new crop of stones. Every time the
ploW-share passes through it new peb-
bles are thrown to the surface, and
sometimes they are bulky enough to
cause serious damage to the pillow. We
shall need to go over our fields again
and again, but let the Master go with
us, or some good spiritual adviser
whom He shall designate. Seeing
with his eyes and feeling with his
hands, all casting out will be the easy
obedience of charity, and there will
be no pride left behind to make a
new and troublesome growth in our
spiritual fields. Thus cleansed will
the Catholics life blossom with new
beauty, and bear fruit in. strange
abundance.

Many little courtesies are to be OBJ

are to look people in the face when
talking or listening, not to let the at
tention or mind wander, not to show
impatience in listening, but to try to
be interested in what others are say

Good manners are the outward sign

DIFFERENTIATION.

During the milder days of the win
ter Farmer Thrifty has been "ston-
ing" his fields; he has been gathering
into piles the stones that not only
disfigure his broad fields, but hinder
the growth of the crops. There they
lie, and they will do no harm now that
they are gathered up. The autumn
months will fringe their LONELINESS
with a halo of golden rod or sumach.
Farmer Thrifty takes a peculiar salts
faction in contemplating his work "A
man ought to go over his fields now
and them" he says; ''his crops will
have better chance"
Stoning the fields! How is it with
us in our spiritual husbandry? Have
we gone over our lands? Have we
searched the field of our soul for the
stones of sin which disfigure it, and
hinder its growth in spirituality?
The farmer of the far West may
boast of his rich soil. He may smile
at the stony heaps dotting New Eng
land fields, and rising up in New Eng
land orchards. But in our spiritual
husbandry, who can boast of soil
without stones? Is any one exempt
from hesetting sins, little annoying
''infirmities," petty peculiarities that
not only disfigure character now, but
hurt the sources of spiritual growth
hereafter? If we do not think our
selves deficient, what if we let our
neighbors try their hands at "stoning
our fields?" They would certainly
find some rock harvest, though we
trust it would be scanty; and we ought
to be as quick to see, as ready to
find.
Individual deficiencies demand indi
vidual attention. Let us look honest
ly at ourselves, and see if our fields
may not need ''stoning." One may
pride himself on his good nature, and
yet it may veil selfishness that Goo
abhors. There may be a smiling
easy-going disposition simply because
we do not trouble ourselves to gel
down from our complacency, put oul
shoulders to the wheel, and push owe

THE cHILDREN's PRAYER.

A little boy, who had attended
children's party, was describing the
event to his mother, the next day
Everybody had to do something
mamma" said the five-year-old.
Harold said a piece, and Mary sang,
and John played his new piece on
Gertie's piano, and Alice made pic
lures ON the WALL And you, poor
little boy! could do nothing" said
the mother. ooh, yes, mamma,
stood up and said my prayers" an
swered the child.
This story is going the rounds of
the press, in the wit and humor col
umns, in which we find too many
tales of children and their devotions.
Adults are too apt to laugh at the
and recite their simple prayers.
Frank had not been laughed at He
had been taught that it was pleasing
and good to pray, and he knew of no
reason why he should not say his
prayers even at party. No doubt
among the elders who listened to him
there was an increased respect for
his mother She had not neglected
her duty. Too many mothers do
neglect their sacred duty. How
familiar are the excuses: He is only
a baby, he will have lots of time to
learn" THE Sisters can teach him
so much better than can that
shall let him alone till he goes to
school," Il haven't time to fuss with
the children's prayers, what with get.

dressed" Fired tries my patience So
just can't bother with him." Whats
the use of teaching Mary words that
she can't understand"
But she can find time perhaps to
TEACH. Mary ragtime song or SO
teach John to declaim smart
slangy piece, or both together to dc
a dance. She wants the children to
be popular rather than pious, and
she does not begrudge the time spent
in this futile teaching. How much
better to fill their young hearts with
the spirit of prayer, and to train
their lips to speak with love the
names of Jesus and Mary! These
should be household words, familiar
and dear to the Catholic child whose
parents know their duty.
Fathers, generally, place their re
sponsibility on the mothers. Il hard

THE CHILDREN'S HOUR.
AN OBJECT LESSON.

The Minturn family were seated at
their breakfast table one beautiful
spring morning when Teddy, the
youngest member, exclaimed, Eve
must be later than usual this morning,
for here comes the postman!"
Run and get the letters, son." said
Mr.. Minturn, Il am expecting some
thing important
Teddy ran to the door, and presently
came back with the mail BY an odd
coincidence there was letter for each
member of the family.
Mr.. Minturn finished his letter first,
and was about to express his dissatis-
faction with it's contents when he
glanced at the rest of the family, who
were all deep in their letters. AS one
by one they laid them down, their
mood seemed so exactly like his own
that he laughed heartily.
What's the joker" everyone ex
claimed
why don't you ask instead. What's
the trouble?'" said Mr.. Minturn. ''You
all loke as if you'd had the worst OF
news"
