strengthens the recipient in bearing

A priest is the only minister of Elk
IRENE Unction. The matter of the
Sacrament is oil of olives, blessed by
the bishop. The form of the Sacra-
ment is the words spoken by the
priest, BY this holy amounting. and of

Many foolishly regard the reception
of Extreme Unction as almost GER
tain prelude to death, and conse-
quently they postpone the administra-
ton of it until the last moment. This
is blameworthy practice. In many
instances an earlier reception of the
Sacrament might have effected bodily

EXTREME JUNCTION..

Extreme JUNCTION, 'the anpinting of
the sick with holy oil, accompanied
with prayer is a true and real Sac
rament possessing the three requisites
of a Sacrament, i. e., an outward sign,
the amounting with oil; promise of
grace, expressed in the words of st.
James, rs any many sick among
you? let him bring in the priests of
the Church; and let them pray over
him, amounting him with oil in the
name of the Lord; and the prayer oil
faith shall save the sick man; and
the Lord shall raise him up; and if
he be in sins, they shall be forgiven
him." and institution by Christ for
none but God could unite to an out
ward sign the power of imparting in
ward grace.
The subject of Extreme Unction is
one who is in danger of death by sick
ness. Such a one must be baptized
and must have at some time in his life
enjoyed the use of reason. The dam
ger of death must be real danger
though death need not be Immediately
proximate nor should the administra-
ton of the Sacrament be deferred I'M
til the last moment of life. The dan
ger of death must be from sickness,
hence soldiers going into battle, Grim
nails being led to execution, or sail
ors about to embark on a perilous voy-
age cannot receive Extreme Unction
if they be free of fatal sickness.
As Extreme Unction is a Sacrament
of the living, it should be received in
the state of grace. Confession, if it
is possible, should be made. and if i'm
possible, the recipient should prepare
himself for the reception of the Sacra-
ment by eliciting an act of perfect con
triton.
Extreme JUNCTION cleanses the soul
from venial sin, and also from I'M
known mortal sins, provided the one
receiving it be truly penitent. The
Sacrament also removes the remains
of sin, i. e., any hidden guilt existing
in the soul; the evil dispositions left
by sins already forgiven; the temporal
punishment due to Sin. AS the other

PURGAToRY.

In the Utmost secrecy and sacred
ness of our consciousness we all feel
that life is fatally carrying us into a
common port called Death, says a
writer in the "Inter-Mountain Cath
olic." This conviction, however, does
not sooth our probing and gnawing
anxieties. We can at best affect cool
ness for the time being. But, whether
in the stiffness of reflection, or under
the narrowing teeth of distress, nay,
in flashes, like the flashes of a coming
storm, and the exhilarating clinking
of joy, we must revert to the fact, or
to the apprehension that death is only
ware sailing. And consequently our
chances of wreck, in our sea voyage
of life, do not so forcibly bear upon
death itself as upon the real part to
which death is only the common,
unimportant entrance.
In the presence of this dire uncer-
tainty, and under the threatening tone
of the sentence that many are called
but few are chosen by which we are
warned that whilst the multitudes are
chosen for salvation, few only shall
reach the goal Yet there is one
dogma of Catholic faith which cheers
and encourages into the hope of
eternal salvation. Situated as we are
in an atmosphere of sinfulnesS and
consequently of retribution or expia-
ton, in condition of Indebtedness
towards the eternal and infinite
sanctity and justice of God, who could
reasonably claim for the hour being,
and even for the hour to come, the
choicest privilege of being counted
among the elect for eternity? Who
could hold up his hands for the pres
ent, and for the future as we'll and
reception among the blessed? Nobody
knows whether he is worthy of love
or hatred These inquiries are
prompted and animated by the most
elementary contemplation of the holt
ness of God, Who is infinite, and our
acknowledged unworthiness to be
associated with Him, accepted by Him,
observed by and ldent1t1ed with Him
for all eternity. This represents the
ideal delineated to us by faith with re-
gard to our future state-to be with
God or to be without God for all
eternity-and in this stormy life at
tended and visited by so many partial
wrecks and losses, we surely cannot
see how we shall ever be worthy of
the admission into the bosom of the
God of goodness, of purity, of charity,
of holiness.
gThe last moment of our human lives
is the one especially which will decide
our eternities. For in our religion,
namely, in our transactions between
God and our free will, "all is well that
ends we'll" SO that a soul, at the

A SAINT FOR THE WEEK
ST. VERONICA GlULIANI.

From her birth in 1860, Veronica
was wonderfully devout to the Pas
sion of our Lord. In the cradle she
refused food thrice a W., on We'd
nesday, Friday and Saturday; and
when only three. years old, in imita-
tion of martyrs, she thrust her hands
into the fire, and kept them there till
the smell of the burning flesh brought
the inmates of the house to her side.
After she had taken the habit of st.
Glare, she underwent mysterious
ceremony of espousals with our Lord,
and ever afterwards there floated
continually before. her mystical, over
flowing chalice, of which she had to
drink, and which filled her with
anguish as she drank it, Our Lord
crowned her with a crown of thorns,
which seemed to pierce into her
brain, but of which naught was visible
but the scars. Lastly, in His love He
stamped her with the marks of His
five blessed wounds. Often in an
ecstasy she went through and suffered
Iu0 dSOuy VI -CHO GIUSO, AC1 UUuy
writhing and her bones cracking with
the fearful torments. Through all the
pain her only love was the Cross.
"Satiate me with the Cross" was her
cry; and she embraced the very
trees in the garden because they re-
minded her of it, An agony of three
hours closed her long but beloved
martyrdom, her very death being, like
her Lords, an act of obedience, for
she, could not die until her superiors
had given her leave.
Once after the Saint had carried
more than thirty pitchers of water up
two flights of steep steps, her feet
were dreadfully CALLED, and she was
quite exhausted and ready to faint.
Whilst she was III this state our Lord
appeared to her, bearing His Cross, and
said, Look at the Cross which am
bearing, see how Heavy it is At this
sight she felt her strength restored,
and her heart burned with eagerness
to suffer yet more for the love of
Jesus.

WHAT is DOGMA?

Most writer's of the day airly as
sumo that a dogma is philosophical
theory in no way connected with the
facts of the Gospel, writes Rev. Ed
mund T. Shanahan, S. T. D., in the
June Catholic World. They will tell
scarcely keeping their patience
the while, that Christianity is life,
not a credal utterance or body of doc
trine; and should you demur to this
falsest of false contracts now finding
its way into print from unnumbered
pens, you will promptly be told that
history has settled the matter and not
left it open to review. This dogmatic
assurance about the nature of dogma
has the courage of ignorance betimes.
The motley group now denouncing
dogmatic religion should acquaint
themselves with the subject of their
criticism, and let the fact sink into
their superficial consciousness, that
dogmas are primarily concepts-not
theories, not conclusions, not interpre-
tations, not explanations at all. Take
the statement THE Word was made
flesh and dwelt among us" You un-
derstand it on the utterance of the
terms. 1t contains a certain amount
of religious knowledge that has never
increased jot or title since the first
Pentecost, when the Holy Spirit in
tongues of fire descended upon the
apostles who were to preach it to the
world. 1t is knowledge about fact,
definite fact, than which none more
concerning exists, since time began.
The apostles had as much knowledge
of this fact as you, so far as powers
of experimenting go. Your knowledge
of it is no greater than theirs. If you
start to reason about it, to draw con-
illusions from it, or to offer eXplana-
lions of its nature-to do anything, in
fact, but analyze it's contents-it is no
longer dogma, it has become the
ology, which is quite another and dis
tinct thing; for dogmas are revealed
concepts, and theology consists of con-
cepts that are reasoned-a difference
that critics have failed to note, to their
credit, be it said. No intelligent reader
needs to be told twice that conclusions
deduced by reason from some revealed
premise or other stand on a different
footing altogether from truths not in
ferred, but Immediately apprehended

ance of the faithful. It's sources-the
places where we find it-are Scripture
and tradition-the latter living and
continuous belief and teaching, no dull
and lifeless record of the past. The
Catholic does not exhume his faith
merely out of documents, after the
fashion of his dissenting brethren to
whom the sole role of faith is Holy
Writ. The Church existed as a teach
