THE CULT OF THE SAINTS.

This is matter in which Catholics
and Protestants are at hopeless vari-
ance. For the veneratior and the in
tercession of the saints, as practiced
by the Catholic Church, are the logical
outcome of several fundamental
tenets, none of which can be admitted
by Professionalism without breaking
the very backbone of that system,
writes Rev. John R. Hagen, d. D., in
The Catholic Universe" ANY re-
hglous veneration shown the saints
seems, to Protestant eyes, to be op-
posed to the purity and the single
ness of worship which should be di-
rected to God alone. Any intercession
on their part for us appears to en-
croach upon the prerogative of Jesus
Christ, Who alone was ordained the
one mediator between God and men,"
Il Tim. ii:5) Any reliance upon
their merits to obtain grace or favors
Tor us seems to impugn the sufficiency
OF the redeeming work of Christ. The
avowed aim of Professionalism was to
re-establish the primitive simplicity of
the gospel and their contention has
always been that the cult of the saints
has been the result of slow process
of superstition which has parasitically
entwined itself around the majestic
oak of Christianity and threatened to
destroy it utterly. Add to this the
tact that only those are included in
the accepted catalogue of the saints
who were loyal adherents of the
Church which Professionalism rejects.
and that those have been carefully
excluded who were the prime movers
of the revolt of the sixteenth century,
and 1t is easy to understand how
irreconcilable are the two positions.
1t would be foolish to attempt
reputation of all these points in the
compass of single article. We will
merely sketch the history of the cult
of the saints and then briefly review
the positive Catholic teaching on the
subject.
Fortunately there are few portions
of history so we'll known as the early
history of the Church. more especially
as regards the devotion to the saints
The Acts of the Martyrs have been
preserved and these, purged of some
rather extravagant details 1.-THE result

she carried about a little broken
heart, for then one night, she had
been taken from the little low nursery
room where white petunias and mari
colds grewsin through the windows,
to big lonely place upstairs over
looking the dangerous heights of the
apple-trees. Big sister Peetche had
held a little sobbing child all night
and had been very anxious, thinking
it must have the collie, but it only
had the broken heart. And the next
morning they had little sister,
Maria. =
1t seemed to be plain case of
childish jealousy. But Dearie was no
more jealous than the dead man is
when the people cry, "The king is
dead; long live the king" AS they
grew UP Merrybabe claimed not only
Dearie's playthings, but the rose
bushes and perreniels which Jan had
given to Dearie for her very own, and
what was more, the kisses of her
mother. But Dearie said nothing at
these accomplishments because her
heart was broken, because she had
suffered loss of SO much more con-
sequence. She had lived for her place
in the family. A few years is long,
long time to child, and Dearie had
spent her best lifetime energy, not in
learning to walk and read her primer
and write her name and sail her boats
on the Minnesota river, but In fitting
herself to hold worthily her supreme
position in the family. And so sweet
ly and efficiently did she plan that
quite unconsciously the household
/ had made her law-giver and strong
comfort-support and very hearth-fire.
| If Merrybabe had possessed the mar
row, dark eyes and long, dark face
and straight black hair, which were
traits all the children had inherited
from their Flemish mother, Jacoba,
Dearie's fortunate place would never
have been disputed, but the Queen
herself must yield to the Fairy.
Merrybabe- had soft, yellow curtis, and
eyes like little, tender bluebells and
her face altogether like JAMS first
pink tulip. In Jacoba's country, only
the fairies have golden hair and blue
eyes, and their birthplace is in the
pink tulip. And so the mother adored
the child with love that had grown
ten times stronger than the proud
ecstasy she had wrapped around her
first son. and heir, and many more
times stronger because for the first
time she held to her bosom the image
of her loving Jan.
But Dearie spent long minutes
thinking about the whole world with

the pink and purple mists into the
great, dim blossoms every sun.lit,
rainy evening in spring. 1t also cast
blessing into Dearies heart. Merry
babes superstition was the night
blooming cereus, beautiful, white
fairy who disentangled herself at
night from the enchantment of the
big, ugly cactus and visited little sick
children and made them well.
Dearie and Merrybabe lived in an
old, rambling house on the top of a
hill. A most strangely behaving
house in Minnesota where the ener-
getic farmer, after an unusual crop of
corn and potatoes, sees everything in
a new light, tears down his old abode
and builds new one entirely differ
ent in style, location, and exposure.
But Jan was a Hollander He had
planted his apple-trees and his garden
of perenniels, and although you may
tear up the roots of your mansion,
you must respect those of your iris
bed And so the little house on the
hill to which Jan brought his young
wife Jacoba, began to ramble when
their first son and heir came and had
gone on rambling at the comings of
the ten sons and daughters born to
jan and Jacoba, until it had gone
neatly through the rose-bushes and
strawberry patch and had at last fin,
ished its rambles among the apple
trees
And it was a dear, loving family
that the old house sheltered as in
deed a family should be which has
warm, red roses clinging to it's house
walls and sweet, apple-blossom frag
rance stealing through it's rooms anC
robins singing on it's window-sills
Mother and father and each child Of
the ten had love-name. For after
the elders had taken the little babe
to church and given it suitable mum
Der of patron saints, it was brought
home only to be rechristianed by the
other children, which process, though
it took little longer time, was en-
tirely effective. Hilda Petronille be
came Peetche, and Lievke, which
means "Dearie," never knew till she
was quite grown up that she had any
other name. Her little sister, the
youngest in the family, was called
Merrybabe because the children hat
been charmed by the love-note in the
mothers voice when she held hel
babe quite hidden away in her breas
and murmured, my baby Maria"
Now, when Merrybabe came into
her own rights, strange calamity
fell over the fortunes of Dearie
From the time she was two years ole

MORNING AND NIGHT PRAYERS.

Prayer is the means ordained by
may communicate to his Maker an
acknowledgment of the honor due to
the One who made him; praise and
thanksgiving for favors and blessings
of the past, and petitions for graces
and benefits in the future, says the
Brooklyn Tablet We might call
prayer mans conversation with God.
In praying the creature talks with
his Creator, humbly beseeching Him
for a continuance and increase of
Divine goodness.
Prayer is not only an obligation, it
is privilege as we'll In the first
days of human existence God walked
with His creature: today the Almighty
is no longer directly visible to men,
but He permits His creatures to talk
to Him and answers their prayers and
petitions. AS God is the source of
everything man has or can hope for
it is evident that the privilege of
prayer is mans most precious prerog-
atiye. 1t is the great channel through
which Divine benefcence flows into
the life of the human creature 1t is
the supreme exercise of human in
telligence, for did man lift not his
heart in prayer to the God VINO made
him he would be no better than the
dumb beasts of animal creation.
We are obliged, then, and per-
mitted to pray to God Many times
during life, at the moment of death
and especially when temptations be-
set us, we should have recourse to
Him who alone can serve and save
us in our direst needs and necessi-
ties. 1t is impossible to define just
how often we are compelled to pray
under pain of sim 1t is unnecessary
for us to determine the. minimum of
compulsory prayer. Men do not
waste their time in deciding how little
