What do you think of a high salared government employee who would "seIl out" his pub- lie trust for private gain-even if he did so in order to win hap. piness for the girl he loved? Isn't this country suffering right now from too much of just that sort of thing?

MARY'S NAME IN AMERICA.

But after all, this was but Our
Lady's discovery of North America,
as it -were-Was but planting of her
standard aTt--the act Of taking pos
session. The battle was still to be
fought, the hostile tribes we're to be
subdued; achievements of foes from
lands inimical to her cause were to
be expected, and we're only to be met
by reinforcements of friends from
lands that loved her.
Her conquests resemble those of
the world in this, that if they are to
succeed, the officers must be skillful,
fearless, diligent, prudent, unselfish
and prompt; the troops must be
steadfast, obedient, loyal and con-
slant. If they shall appear to have
been so, we will understand how her
honor has increased in the land; how
seven hundred churches bear her
name out of three thousand five hun
dred in every portion of the country !;
how the same sweet name is given
to river, lake, and mountain peak and
bay, north, south, and through the
center; and how more than two
million voices chant her praise, and
proclaim her Lady and Protectress.

ORIGIN ON MAY DEvoTloNs.

Some attribute the origin of May
devotions to st. Philip Neri, who
died on May 26, 1896. He was a
devout servant of Mary and espe-
cially solicitous for the salvation of
young people. Seeing many exposed
to dangerous amusements he tried to
lead them to Our Blessed Mother for
protection and induced many to visit
shrines of the Blessed Virgin to pray
and sing hymns in her honor every
day in May II was two centuries
after the death of st. Philip Neri, how
ever, that the devotion became gener-
ally observed with much solemnity.
The story is told of a little child, in
Rome, stopping to pray and sing a
hymn, on the first of May, at way
evening other children came to join
in the devotions, and the next evening
older people came, till there was quite
crowd; then the priest led them
into the church and conducted the
devotions with more solemnity. The
practise was approved by the Church
and, as if by a universal impulse,
spread throughout the city and, in a
few years. throughout the world.
Some attribute the origin of May
Deyotions to this event. 1t seems
probable, however, that it would be
more correct to attribute the origin
of the beautiful practise in honor OF
the Virgin Mother during the Month
of May, to an impulse of divine grace
moving pious souls and faithful
Christians to practice the devotion as
some compensation for the neglect
of those who refuse to honor the
Mother of God. The devotion is a
most beautiful expression of the filial
instinct of the human heart, humanity
appealing to thestQueen of Heaven
with childlike confidence, fondly
saluting her by the tender name OF
Mother.

man has, not-that man has as
much obligation to live pure as a
woman has. There is in this self-low-
ering of woman 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 a tender love
for the Blessed Virgin does not slav-
ishly 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.

PEELED by true principles. II not, the
action is bad and proceeds from false
principles.
Such test is not vicious in itself,
but it becomes SO the minute that one
would make it the exclusive test of
morality. In the hands of less skillful
theorists this test has suffered sadly.
We are asked to believe that the mere
enunciation of a law by conscience is
the all-suficient norm of determining
what is right and what is wrong. Be-
hind the voice of conscience proclaim
ing the law-nothing. In truth the
dignity of conscience and of man suf-
.fers in this treatment According to
the old system conscience was kind
.of legislative assembly where particu-
lar laws were enacted in accordance
Ito certain constitutional principles and
and where penalty was declared in
conformity with the same fundamental
code Conscience, too, proclaimed the
law to the individual and acted as
Judge when an act had been done.
But now the whole role of conscience
would be reduced to the functions Of
the village constable lacking up laws
and regulations where they could be
perceived by everybody, but knowing
nothing about the laws or their origin
except that 'the printer give EN-. to
me-" s

UNDoING THE PAST.

If we have done a wrong in the
past we may sometimes help to undo
it by going little farther in the
opposite direction than we would
naturally be expected to go. If we
have injured another, let us so a good
deal out of our way to do him good
turn. If we have made others miser-
able by our folly and our sin, let us
be more than ordinarily careful to
do everything we possibly can to make
them happy. If we have been on the
wrong side of the fence, let us not
only get clean over the fence, but
let us also get just as far over on the
opposite side as we possibly can. If
a man simply gets over the fence
and stays there hooking swistfufly back
wards, his repentance is a doubtful
quality.
Most of us, probably all of us, as
we look back over the years, are con-
scious of grievous blunders, which
involved the well-being of others, and
we cannot deny that others have
suffered, and perhaps are even now
suffering, because of our sins. Have
we done all that we can to undo the
past? This is a question which we
ought to face. 1t may mean much to
us to attempt to undo that past, but it
means much more if we do not at
tempt it. Restitution is one of the
cardinal doctrines of Christian moral
ity, and if we fail here we fail utterly.
The man who can stand up and de-
clare himself right with God when
in the not distant past looms the
shadow of someone whom he has
caused to suffer, and to whom he has
made no atonement whatever, is
surely sadly mistaken man. The
man who does not do his best to
right the wrongs he may have done
is surely not member of the king.
