MATER DoLoRosA.

And there is nothing about our Lady
which stimulates our love more eff
fectually than her dolours, says Father
Faber. In delight and fear we shade
our eyes when the bright light of her
Immaculate Conception bursts upon
us in its heavenly effulgence. We
fathom with awe and wonder the
depths of her Divine Maternity. The
yastness of her science, the sublimities
of her holiness, the singularity of her
prerogatives fill us with joyful admir-
ton united with reverential fear. 1t
is jubilee to us that all these things
belong to our own Mother, whose fond
ness for us knows no bounds. But
somehow we get tired of always look
ing up into the bright face of heaven.

grass of the earth. The moon is beau.

A SAINT FOR THE WEEK
ST. WILLIAM OF YORK.


William was the son of Earl Herbert
and Emma, sister of King Stephen. He
was elected Archbishop of York at the
time when the great struggle concern
ing the election of Bishops was going
on between the Holy See and princes.
King Stephen favored his nephew's
election st. Bernard complained of it
as uncanonical, and st. William was
deprived of his See by Pope Eugenius
LII. The Kings party and the people
Of York took up his cause. Henry, abb
bot of Fountains, had been elected in
made an attempt on Henry's life, and
burned the abbey, and for years the
people of York refused to admit him
within the walls. While the desperate
passions of sinful men were thus rag
ing on his account, st. William, who
had ever looked on the episcopate with
trembling, retired peacefully to Win
chester, where he remained buried in
solitude, by supplication and penance
sco'-ing to avert the anger of God. His
prayers were heard, and peace was at
length restored. On the death of
Henry, William was again elected, and,
journeying to Rome, presented himself
to Anastasius, who had succeeded Eu-
genius, and from him he received the
pallium. Then the old man, worn with
austerities, came back to his people,
who had been led astray by their love;
and thirty days after his return, on
June s, 1854, he went to join st. Ber-
nard in the brightness of that Pres
ence where zeal and love are never
mistaken.
When St. William came to Winches-
ter, after he had been deprived of his
See, the Bishop, Henry of Blois, who
was his uncle, offered him place in
his palace, and wished him to live with
all his former state. st. William was
conscious of his innocence, but pre-
ferred to appear as penitent; and by
| the life which he led he silently
preached obedience to his rebellious
adherents.

strain. o, how, after long meditation
on the Immaculate Conception, love
gushes out of every pore of our hearts
when we think of that almost more
than mortal Queen, heart broken, and
with blood-stains on her hand, beneath
the cross! o Mother! We have been
craving for more human thoughts of
thee; we have wanted to feel thee
nearer to us; we can weep for joy at
the greatness of thy throne, but they
are not such tears as we can shed with
thee on Calvary; they do not rest us
so. But when once we see thy sweet
sad face of maternal sorrow, the tears
streaming down thy cheeks, the quiet
ness of thy great woe, and the blue
mantle we have known so long, it
seems as if we had found thee after
losing thee, and that thou vert another
Mary from that glorious portent in the
heavens, or at least filter Mother for
us on the low summit of Calvary, than
scaling those unapproachable noun
tain-heights of heaven.

THE REAL PRESENCE.

st. Jane Chantal when child one

do not" he replied. Christ has
declared that He is, and the Church
teaches that He is. So you mean to
say that our Lord is a liar? Well,
if you said that to the king in my
fathers house, he, perhaps, would kill
you, and will not God punish you for
calling His Son a liar, and for not
believing what he tells you?" The
Calvinist was COMPOUNDED, and to
pacify the child, gave her some pres
ents, but she threw them in the fire
and said, so will they burn in hell,
who refuse to believe Jesus Christ and
His Church.
At all times. says the Catholic
Universe" whether in peace or in
strife, whether under the dome of St
Peter, or in the poorest shed used for
the celebration of Mass, the Holy
Eucharist, the Blessed Sacrament, has
been the treasure of the Church-a
treasure which the world did not give
and which the world cannot take
away. Around the Blessed Sacrament
has grown up the whole worship oil

to honor it; her ceremonial is grouped
around it. If her temples are sc

DESCRIPTION OF OUR BLESSED
MOTHER.

The Blessed Virgin Is. thus described
by Epiphanius, who lived in the fourth
century, and who derived the particu-
lars from his predecessors: "She was
of middle stature; her face oval; her
eyes brilliant and of an olive tint; her
eyebrows arched and black; her hair
vas of a pale brown; her complexion
fair as wheat. She spoke little, but
she spoke frankly and affably; she was
not troubledein her speech, but grave,
courteous, tranquil. Her dress was
witlIoht armament, and in her deport-
meft was nothing lax or feeble
Holy Scripture tells us nothing of
the personal appearance of the Blessed
Virgin, and even the Oldest accounts
contained in tradition do not agree
perfectly. Artists, therefore, have not
followed slavisHly the description
given by Epiphanius, but have en-
bodied their ideal of motherly beauty
in their pictures. This accounts for
the surprising variety of Madonnas
to be found in all the great picture
SdIIeF10S. bcSAuC0, III the ages I'll
Faith the planting of Madennas was
a religious work for which the artist
often prepared by prayer and fasting;
and most of the famous painters pro-
duced a great many. However, Mrs.
Jameson, the celebrated art critic,
says that Raphael's. Madonna di San
Sisto'' in the Dresden Gallery is
greatest glory comes nearest to- her
notion Of the Virgin Mother Of Our
Lord.

The Star is not joining in the
chorus of congratulation about the
Mexicon trouble being settled. We do
not see any ground for any such be-
lief. 1t is conceded that, in case of
Carranza's wishes being acceded to,
that strong forces will be lined up
along the border, even if our troops
in Mexico are withdrawn. The reason
for this disposition of troops will be
to prevent border raids, it being sup
posed that when bandits cross from
one side to the other the soldiers on
each side will treat them as common
enemies. Anyone who has watches
the course of events for the last half
a dozen years can understand how this
will be. There are no raids from
America into Mexico and not in the
least likely to be. The border line is
1900 miles long and the greatest force
the American can put on it cannot
prevent Mexicans from raiding across
Il. When they cross and are chased
/ by our troops, unless the Americans
follow them across the line, they will
find safety on the Mexican side. Car
ranza's men will be their friends, and

often their accomplices. There will
be constant friction between the SOL
diers of the opposing countries-trou-
bic in which the hands of the Ameri-
cans viii always be tied by their
government. Meantime the country
viii be kept in fever by the constant
irritation on the border. There will
never be any peace in Mexico until
the United States enforces it. To do
Mr.. Wilson justice, the Star believes
that he understands this and is wait
ing until the country is in better
shape to take action. If he sets him
self to work to get things in better
shape for the inevitable day, he will
be doing his duty. If he accepts Car
ranza's promises at the face value,
withdraws the regulars from Mexico,
sends the national guard home and
allows the former state of affairs to
recommence, the entire country will
disapprove of his action and put him
and his party out of office, in the hope
that the republicans will do better and
the certainty that they can't do worse

A. M. Cushman, for many years
one of the most prominent lodge men
in the state, is now serving sentence
at the state prison farm, at Raiford
Cushman was highly trusted by his
brethren, and for years was grand
secretary of the Odd Fellows of Flor
ida, holding also positions of trust
with the Gainesville lodges of Odd
Fellows and Masons. He took advan-
tage OF his position to embezzle thou
sands of dollars. His speculations
might have been going on yet, but
when Marion Little of Ocala was
elected grand master of the Odd Eel
lows two years ago, he suspected that
something was wrong and demanded
that the accounts be examined. The
result wa5 that Cushman was found
to be thog sands C dollars short. The
Odd Fellows did not prosecute Cush-
man, but the security company in
which he was bonded did so, and in
consequence he is now serving time
at the prison farm. Cushman is an
old man and the authorities are easy
on him. His work is that of book
keeper, which, as he is an expert ac-
countant, be is well qualified to per-
form.

The extreme propaganda for pre-
paredness consists in shouting to
Uncle Sam that he is being insulted
and broWbeaten and is going to get
licked; Germany is about to lombard
New York; Japan is ready to land in
California; he will be. slapped in the
face, have his goods stolen and his
throat cut. 1t consists, in fine, in in
culcating raw-sore spirit of true
ulent suspicion of his neighbors. Get
that thoroughly inculcated and war
follows as matter of course. Take
your peaceably inclined man; tell him
day by day that his neighbors are
circulating insults and threats; that
they are going to thrash him and
sack his house. When you have net

out looking for insults he will be
quite sure to find one. Saturday Ev-

workers against prohibition and who
are in mourning over the result. The
great majority, however, worked on
the dry side, and in case of another
election would be found of the same
mind. 1t is generally conceded that
business in Ocala is better than it was
year ago. With the exception of the
saloons, there are fewer closed store
rooms than there were a year ago,
and even the saloon stands are filling
up, there being big grocery business
in one and a fourishing fruit stand in
another. We guess the Star man
picked up wrong font. Outside of
the strictly interested parties, there is
no weeping and wailing over closed
saloons in Ocala.

It is very likely that the German
high seas fleet will soon come out for
pitched battle with the British
grand fleet. The result of the battle
of Jutland greatly encouraged the
German seamen. They proved that
they were able to stand up to the
British in an open-sea fight, and of
ficers and men are anxious fer a full
trial of strength and skill with their
