HISTORY OF THE HOLY HOUR.

1t was a brother religious of Father
de la Colombiere, the first great apos-
tie, after Blessed Margaret Mary her
self, of devotion to the Sacred Heart,
who was destined in Gods providence
to be instrumental in the making
known to the world the devotion of
the Holy Hour. In 1913 the Fathers
of the Society of Jesus came back
once more to their ancient home in
Paray-le- Monial, from which they had
been driven by the revolution. The
superior of the residence was Father
Debrosse, a man of remarkable virtue
and holiness. The following year,
1929, he felt within himself a strong
attraction urging him to make the
Holy Hour in every spot where, we'll
nigh century and half before, it
had been made for the first time by
Blessed Margaret Mary Alacoque her.
self. Hitherto he had been in the hab-
it of making it once on the night of
Holy Thursday; he now began to make
it on the eve of each last Friday.
And as he knelt one night in vigil
before the silent tabernacle, a voice
within him spoke through the silence
of his lonely watch, and babe him go
forth and spread abroad the devotion
of the Holy Hour. Was it voice
from Heaven, or the prompting of his
own deep fervent piety? He knew
not, but from that day forth he stroye
with all his might to bring about the
establishment of confraternity of the
Holy Hour.
The project received the warm ap.
prevail of the Bishop of Autun, Mgr.
du Trousest d'Hericourt. Strengthen
ed and encouraged by the support of
this prelate, Father Debrosse sent a
petition to Pope Plus VIII, begging
for the establishment of confratern-
ity of the Holy Hour.
We may we'll imagine the JOY of
the holy priest when the Pope replied
by brief, dated December 20, 1929,
granting, moreover, a plenary indul-
gence to the members of the con-
fraternity every time they made the
Holy Hour.
AS yet the devotion was in it's earli-
est infancy. But once fairly started
it advanced with wonderful rapidity.
The very next year there came a sec
ond brief from Plus VIII, dated May
20, 1880, extending the indulgence of
the confra1ernity to all the faithful
of the diocese of Autun; and again
a third brief issued by Pope Gregory
XVI, July q, 1881, made the contra
ternity and it's privileges worldwide.
Thus three successive years mark
three great stages in its progress:
1t was first parochial, then diocesan,
lastly Catholic and universal.
Nor did its onward course stop
here. BY a rescript of October 10,
1866, Pope Plus IL allowed religious
communities to be registered col
lectively instead of individually as
had been hitherto the practice. On
May 13, 1875, that same ilIustrious
pontiff agreed that those who we're
associates of the League of the Sacred
Heart we're by that fact entitled to
gain the indulgence of the Holy Hour.
It was reserved for Leo XIII to
crown and perfect4tlle organized prac-
tice of the Holy Hour. Up to this Ii
had been a necessary condition for
the gaining of The Indulgence that the

OUR LADYS ROSARY AT THE
FRONT.

The important part played by the
rosary in the lives of the soldiers at
the front is beautifully described in
the Rosary Magazine. 1t is well,
established fact that Bavarian sol.
diers frequently recite the beads as
they march into action. "One who
was present writes that the process
sion seemed more like a pilgrimage
than an army on the way to battle"
A young reservist from Cologne, re-
fleeing in his letter upon the good
results of war, says: Here many a
one learns again to say his beads,
which he had in his hands for the
last time on the day of his First
Communion. 1t is precisely the
rosary which has become our in.

ing or had been lost the soldiers on
both sides often manufactured them,
using bits of wood or pebbles or
beans, or simply tying knots in cord,
since the Holy rather, Pope Benedict
XIV, granted to the soldiers the priyi-
lege of gaining the induIgences, dur
ing the continuance of the war, even
upon beads that are not blessed
"Rosaries are very popular here an

of every ten men that one meets wear

Catholics are found thus to carry
them in spirit of religious devotion.
A soldier going into the field, com.

able to tell you that every one of my
Catholic comrades carries his beads.

She believed it was impossible that
he should prefer no religion at all to
the Catholic Church, and she felt sure
that her power over him, his love for
her, would make it easy for her to be
his guide to that Truth which was in
itself the only complete, beautiful, all
satisfying thing in the world. Most
precious to her, perhaps, was the
changed conception of marriage she
now possessed. ALI fears of temper
mental differences had disappeared
when she had read in her catechism
that in the sacrament of marriage, God
gives sufficient graces to enable hus-
band and wife to live together in love,
and to bring up their children in the
fear and love of God. Where nature
unaided might fall God Himself would
sustain. In spite of present fears, a
great peace filled her heart.
In her letters, or in their first meet
ing after her return from the West,
she had given no hint to Frank of the
religious change that had come to her.
But tonight she had asked him to come
that she might tell him.

She felt uneasy, under his caresses.

been better to have appealed to his
mind. 1t had been a mistake to de-

That's simply beautiful, Bess!-
and beautifully simple too. 1t seems

"Of course, Frank, it didn't occur to-

quite possible. But the Baptist min

there is one God; and Jesus prayed
that His followers might be one as He
