THE ANGELUs HABIT.

II you are in the habit OF reciting
the Angelus, you are gaining a partial
Indulgence Of one hundred days with
each recital. Furthermore, you are
receiving plenary indulgence once a
month, if in addition to the habit of
saying the Angelus you receive the
sacraments monthly and comply with
the usual conditions of gaining a
plenary Indulgence.
To obtain these indulgences, how
ever, the prayers must be said kneel-
ing or standing as is prescribed, and
at the time the bell is rung, unless
good reasons prevent you from full
filing these conditions.
On Saturday evening in Lent also
on Saturday noon and on Sundays,
the Angelus is said standing, and at
other times the kneeling posture is
used. During the Easter season, that
is beginning with the Alleluia of the
Mass on Holy Saturday until the even
ing before Trinity Sunday, exclusive.
~, the anthem, Regina Coeli. is said
instead of the Angelus, standing.
All devout Catholics, deserving the
name, practice this devotion either al
the sound of the bell, if they are in
their homes or wherever they may
conveniently perform lit, or as soon
after as possible.
The AngeIus recalls the Tncarna-
ton of the Son of God and the re
demption of mankind. Are these
great mysteries by which you were
saved worthy Of being recollected az
least three times during your day?

LukEwARMNEss IN RELIGION.

Lukewarmness or spiritual sloth is
certain repugnance to do what our
spiritual life requires, says the Pitts
hurgh observer" Those addicted to
this vice imagine they are doing very
much if they keep their souls free
from mortal sin. OF venial sins, which
deserve only temporal punishment,
they make no account. 1t is not the
love of God, it is not the companion
ship of Christ, they hate to lose, but
it is only servile fear that actuates
them in their doings. This is the sad
disposition of the Christian soul adj
dicted to the vice of lukewarmness.
Lukewarmness has evil conse-
quences in its wake. First of all, it
darkens the spirit and hardens the
heart, and secondly it calls down
upon the offender Gods wrath and
His just punishments The tepid
person is blind as regards the condi-
ton of his. soul A person of this
kind may be compared to one afflicted
with the tuberculosis of the lungs, that
is bringing him slowly but surely to
an early grave. Such person seldom
admits that the body is fast wasting
away; he appears to belong to the
living and yet he is on the brink Of
the grave When he least expects it,
death overtakes him. This is good
picture of the lukewarm Christian.
Has not similar malady overtaken
our spiritual life? Is the spiritual life
of our soul being consumed with the
attachment. for worldly goods, is it
being consumed with negligence in
our religious duties, is it being con-
sumed with neglect of prayer? If such
is the case, it is time to amend our
ways.
This vice is common amongst
Christians. even amongst those who
think themselves perfect. TOO many
Christians are satisfied in doing what
is absolutely required of them They

ATTENDANCE AT MASS.

The Mass will keep mems faith
strong and vivid, and so in the name
of the risen Christ we appeal for a
greater appreciation of this invention

zation of the privilege, the glorious
privilege of having Mass in their
midst that they may come more fire.
quently and assist with more devotion;
that they may use the Mass as the
inspiration of their lives their sup
port in all their troubles; this, mem
bers of the Apostleship, is the object
of your prayers and Masses during
the Christmas time.
The following beautiful description
of the meaning of the Mass, given in
Cardinal Newman's Loss and CAIN
is very appropriate here. The Angli-
can convert, Willis, is speaking:
L declare to me nothing is so con-
soling, SO piercing, so thrilling, so
overcoming as the Mass, said as it is
among us. could attend Masses
forever and not be tired. 1t is not a
form of words--it is a great action,
the greatest action that can be on
earth. 1t is not the Invocation, mere.
ly, but if dare use the word, the
evocation of the Eternal. He becomes
present on the altar in flesh and blood
before Whom angels bow and devils
tremble: that is that awful event
which is the scope, and is the inter.
probation of every part of the sol.
emnity. Words are necessary, but as
means, not as ends; they are not
merely addresses to the throne of
grace; they are instruments of what
is far higher, of conservation, of sacri.
fee. They hurry on as if impatient to

parts of one integral action. Quickly
they go; for they are awful words Of

to delay upon, as when it was said
in the beginning, What thou doest

the Lord Jesus goes with them, as He
passed along the lake in the days OF
His flesh, quickly calling first one and
then another. Quickly they pass; be.

other, so is the coming of the Son of

BAPTISM.

Baptism, the first of the Seven Sac
raments, is defined for us in the
Catechism as .The Sacrament which
cleanses us from original sin, making
us children of God and heirs Of
Heaven" BaptisnB then, is cleans
ing of the soul from that stain, in
herited from Adam, which disfgures
the soul of every human creature born
into the world, says the Brooklyn
Tablet
AbIution and publications were
common in the ceremonials, not only
of the Jews, but of heather nations,
as well, before the coming of Christ.
The Egyptians, the Greeks and the
Romans religiously practiced them
as symbols and signs of interior and
spiritual cleansing: Much in the same
way, st. John the Baptist baptized in
the desert those who we're willing to
do penance for their sins, trusting in
the Messiah Who was promised But
these ablutfons we're but symbolical.
They merely sfgnifed externally the
cleanliness OF soul which resulted, not
from any intrinsic efficiency of the
ceremony itself, but solely from the
faith and repentance of those who re-
ceived it. The outward form and ac-
ton possessed no inherent power.
Baptizing, the Christian ceremony,
Instituted by Jesus Christ on the day
He Himself was baptized by st. John
the Baptist, and enjoined upon the
Apostles as necessity for all who
would be followers of the Redeemer,
is true Sacrament, of itself produc-
ing the effects that it signifies. Water
is poured upon the head Of the person
to be baptized, and at the same time
the words appointed by Our Lord are
repeated. AS a result, the one bap-
tized is thereby cfeansed from orig
inal sin, and all other sins of which
he may be guilty, provided he is truly
contrite for them; he is gifted with

districts of Scotland owe their first

zeal won to the faith pagan idolaters

a usurper of the throne of the North
Brftons compelled Kentigern to seek
refuge with st. David in North Wales.
There he built a monastery, and gath
cred round him nearly a thousand
monks, one of whom was st. Asaph,
who succeeded him as abbot when he
returned to his bishoDric. Many of
these religious, however, preferred to
remain with Kentigern. and formed
the nucleus Of a band offmissionaries,
whom he sent from Glasgow to the
Orkneys. TO Norway, and even to lee
land. The austerity of the Saint was
such that he had been called q second

lowed his notifications to interfere
with the duties of his state. Besides
the work Of the episcopate. he prac-
.tised constant manual labor, that he
might not eat the bread Of idleness.
He died at the age of eighty-flve, about
the year 500. His tomb at Glasgow

given to Thy servants a royal priest
hood, bless Thy priests. Let Thy
Almighty love surround them and pre-

o Heart of Jesus, they are the object

May they be one with Thee, and one
among themselves. Bless their labors

purpled with Thy Precious Blood.
Keep pure and unearthly a heart
sealed with the sublime marks Of Thy
glorious priesthood. Let Thy holy
love surround him, and shield him
