dence. We had been talking about
literatures debt to the Church and
about literary life in modern Rome,
and the Index Expurgatorius had been
mentioned The Apostolic Delegate
explained it's reason for existence in
the words l have quoted.
People exclaim against the Index"
said His Excellency, sand yet since
August, 1914, all the nations of the
world have been applying the princi-
pie of the Index. Their censorship ex-
tends not only to printed books, but
even to letters. | cannot be the first
one to read a letter from my old
mother in Italy; it must be opened
and scanned by government officials.
The various governments fear that
books, magazines and letters may con-
tain something that will harm their in
terests; therefore, they have estab-
lished. the censorship.
Now, the Church is an organiza-
ton that is constantly waging war
The Church is more keenly interested
in putting obstacles in the way of
things that harm the soul than the
nation is in putting obstacles in the
way of things that harm the body. In
times of war the nations establish
censorship; since the Church is al
ways at war, her censorship is per-
petual. 1t is due to her motherly de-
sire to keep her sons from being
harmed, just as the nation establishes
a censorship actually in the interests
of it's citizens.
$50 you see that the time has gone
by when any nation can criticize the
Church's example in establishing cen
sorships. And their censorships go
further than that of the Church; the
Church makes a moral prohibition, but
the nations make. it an official mat
ter, physical matter; they put into
prison those citizens who violate the
law regarding the censorship.
There certainly is nothing about
the Index" said His Excellency, ito
support the absurd contention that the
Church is opposed to modern litera-
ture. The Church is opposed to I'M
clean literature. But the Church to-
day, as in the ages past, fosters litera-
ture, as she fosters all the arts"

A SAINT FOR THE WEEK.
ST. HEpWIeE, WIDOW.

st. Hedwige, the wife of Henry,
Duke of Silesia, and the mother of his
six children, led humble, austere,
and most holy life amidst all the pomp
of royal state. From her girlhood she
wore no jewels nor rich dresses; and
when she married, her palace was
ruled with the exactness Of a cloister
Devotion to the Blessed Sacrament
was the keynote of her life. Her
valued privilege was to supply the
bread and wine for the Sacred Mys-
teries, and she would attend each
morning as many Masses as were
celebrated. Summer and winter she
walked barefooted to the church, leav-
ing the ground stained with her
wounds, and then, kneeling without
support or PROSTATE on the pavement,
spent whole hours in prayer. In
obediepce to her confessor she once
wore shoes for year; at the end of
that time she showed them to him as
fresh and unsoiled as when she had
received them. And he, convinced by
this miracle of her holiness, permitted
her to resume her penance. In honor
of Christ and His Apostles, she kept
always by her thirteen poor persons
suffering from incurable diseases. For
the last thirty years of her married
life she and her husband lived in holy
chastity, and after his death, she re-
tired to the Cistercian convent of
Trebnitz. There she lived under obe-
dience to her daughter Gertrude, grow
ing day by day in holiness, till God
called her to Himself, A. D. 1242.
st. Hedwige's devotion to the Holy
Mass communicated itself to her chill
dren. When her eldest and best loved
son, Duke Henry, surnamed ''the
Pious,' advanced against a horde of
Tartars, who were devastating Silesia,
his first action on the morning of; the
battle was to have Mass celebrated at
which he and every man in his army
received Holy Communion. After ex-
hibiting the most signal yalor, Henry
was slain; and when st. Hedwige
heard the. news, she thanked God for
having by such a death admitted him
to His kingdom of glory.

Under analogous restraint, any ma.
terial substance, as all physicists now
know, would grow hot and glow in
tensely. The laws of matter may we'll
have their analogue in the spirit
world. II this be so, the mere depart
from me must involve everlasting
fire. If this be so again, the wicked
spirit has made. its own hell, having
first rejected the God who now rejects
it. Also, if this be so, it becomes
transparency clear that as Heaven
means God, so hell means no God;
and no God is just what the obstinate
impenitent sinner has chosen to have
in this life, and consequently in the
next. This, however, is a speculation.
1t makes the fire Of hell very real
and very terrible. For what is terri
BILE in a fire is not the medium in
which you are placed, but how you
yourself burn.
There are two perfectly distinct
fires in hell, arising from quite dis
tinct causes. There is first what /
have called "a material environment"
some external objective environ
ment," producing in the soul plunged
into it pain which to us, with our
human experiences, is most properly
declared by calling it the pain of fire.
Of the nature of this material environ.
ment l have no idea, no theory, any
more than st. Augustine had. | accept
the fact of it simply because I wish
to keep my rank in the common herd
of Christian believers Secondly,
there is the loss of God; and about
that, what have to say comes to this,
that considering the relation in which
the soul stands to it's Last End, the
mere felt loss of God, apart from all
other agency, may, on an analogy
drawn from the physical to the spir.
itual, be enough to set the substance
of the soul vertically on fire. The
mighty constraining force" which |
have envoked for this theory is some
thing quite over and above the ma
terial environment" 1t is Gods re-
fusal of the soul, driving it away from
Him, refusal called force only by
analogy with things physical.

OUR LADY'S SHRINE.

Oft have l seen, at some cathedral
door,
A 1aborer, pausing in the dust and
heat,
Lay down his burden, and with rev.
erent feet,
Enter, and cross himself, and on the
floor
Kneel to repeat his "Pater Noster'
DER;
The loud vociferations of the street
Become an indistinguishable roar,
So, as 1 enter here, from day to day,
And leave my burden at this minister
gate,
Kneeling in prayer, and not ashamed
to pray,
The tumult of the times, disconso-
late
To inarticulate murmurs dies away,
While the eternal ages watch the
wait.

THE MODEST WOMAN THE SALT
OF EARTH.

Is there not danger that the Cath.
Ollie woman with her traditional love
for Mary may have nothing more vital
in that love than the pretty words
of an unbelieving poet? Prayers to
Mary, hymns in her honor are all
very well, but there is something
more important. 1t is the modelling
of the woman's life after the ideal.
Today there is a special need of aim
ing at that ideal. It needs no acute
observer today to note that women
are becoming less womanly. There
are fashions that shock even the man
that makes no pretense to virtue.
There is lot of talk about single
standard of morality, and the conclu-
sion reached by many is, that a
woman has as much right to be bad
as a man has, not-that man has as
much obligation to live pure as a
woman has. There is in this self
lowering of woman a danger for the
Catholic women even with all the
helps of her religion. Therefore, the
need to cling all the more closely to
that old reverence for the sinless
woman. The girl with tender love
for the Blessed Virgin does not
slavishly submit to fashion when
that fashion outrages decency. She
talks only as a real Child of Mary
should talk. She does not fear being
called old-fashioned, for in her heart
she knows that she has the respect
of even the abandoned. The salt OF
the earth is the modest gentlewoman
What world it would be if all sought
the womanly dignity of the handmade
of the Lord. Therein, if women only
knew it, is their truest emancipation
