GREATEST EVENT OF LIFE.

A happy death is the seal of our
earthly. career, and no event of our
life can equal it. If you were to in.
herit million, yea, untold millions
if you had the fulfilment of all your
desires; if you could obtain a king.
dom; if you could live to be as old
as Methusalem and pass all these
years in undisturbed happiness. in the
enjoyment of perfect health, without
the least adversely of any kind, you
would say that life were worth living
And just what would all this amount
to if you should not die a happy
death? A happy death is therefore
the greatest event of your life, to
which you must look forward with
intense attention. 1t is the great prize
you must obtain: 80 rum" says ST.
Paul, that you may obtain it," e.
Cor. tx, 24.)
Who will guarantee this prize? Who
will assure you seat in the heavenly
kingdom, dwelling in the eternal
mansions?
If there were place in the world
where insurance for happy death
and tickets of admission into the king
dom of God were sold, people would
hurry there from the extremities of
the world and pay fabulous sums to
obtain them.
And yet the golden key to heaven is
within the, reach of everybody, the
poor as well as the rich, the ignorant
as well as the learned This golden
key is the CrucifiX, for the Crucified
is the fountain head of salvation.
If, therefore, you dread the coming
judgment; if your sins fill you with
terror and despair, look up to the
Crucified on Calvary. There is your
Judge, His arms stretched out to en-
brace you, His heart opened to re-
ceive you. Yet He is in your hands.
Appease His anger now, settle your
accounts and crave forgiveness of your
sins. Love Him who has loved you
with exceeding great love. Make the
vision of Calvary your daily practise,
the vision Of Christ's Calvary and of
your own.

IA SAINT FOR The WEEK.
SAINT ATHANAsIUs, BISHOP.

Athanasius was born in Egypt to-
wards the end of the third century,
and was from his youth pious, learned,
and deeply tersed in the sacred writ
ings, as beftted one whom God had
chosen to be the champion and de-
fender Of His Church against the
Arfan heresy. Though only deacon,
he was chosen by his Bishop to go
with him to the Council of Nicaea,
"A. D. 1926, and attracted the attention
of all by the learning and ability with
which he defended the Faith. A few
months later he became Patriarch of
and for forty-six years he
bore, often well-nigh alone, the whole
brunt of the Arian assault. He stood
unmoved against four Roman emper-
ors was banished five times was the
butt of every insult, calumny, and
wrong the Arians could devise, and
lived in. constant peril of death,
Though firm as adamant in defence Of
the Faith, he was meek and humble,
','cd@ant and winning in converse, be-
loved by his flock, unwearied in Ia
bours, in prayer, in notifications, ano
in zeal for souls. In the year 373 his
stormy life closed in peace, rather
that his people would have it so than
that his enemies we're weary of per-
scouting him. He left to the Church
the whole and ancient Faith, defended
and explained in writings rich in
thought and learning, clear, keen, and
stately in expression. He is honoured
as one of the greatest of the Doctors
of the Church.
On the refusal of the Saint to re-
store Arius to Catholic Communion,
the emperor ordered the Patriarch Of
Constantinople to do so. The wretch
ed heresiarch took an oath that he had
always'Fbelieved ass the Church be-
lieves; and the patriarch, after vainly
using every effort to move the en-
peror, .had recourse to fasting and
prayer, that God would avert from the
Church the frightful sacrilege. The
day came for the solemn entrance of
Arius into the great church of Sancta
Sophia The heresiarch and his party
set out glad and in triumph. But be-
fore he reached the church death
smote him swiftly and awfully, and
the dreaded sacrilege was averted.

The FAMILY ROSARY.

Have you retained the good old Irish
custom of family Rosary? asks The
Magnificent" We had not, until a
young German Bishop shamed us into
it. His sermons we're always easily
understood and sure to be remem-
bered, for they were simple, direct
and short, but in his end-of- October
talk only one thought remained with
us, that Of his closing words: Thank
God, the Irish have kept up the beau
tiful custom of the family Rosary" =.
We were Irish and we had not re-
tanned the custom. Grandfather had
held to it to his dying day, and mother
had, too, while we were little children:
but one by one, as we grew into our
teens, company at home and in other
homes (mostly the latter, had pre-

Sacrament is frustrated, and no grace
can be communicated. One who APP.
proaches any of the Sacraments with
out the proper dispositions, not only
deprives himself of the grace of that
Sacrament, but renders himself liable
to sacrilege in the act, by profaning
On the other hand, the more worthy

generously will God communicate to
him His graces, for these treasure
houses of Divine Aid are in themselves
ineXhaustible, and convey, to every
soul as plentifully of their contents as
the capacity of that soul will permit.
Throughout the ages preceding the
coming of the Redeemer, those chosen
people of God who endeavored to
walk in the paths of righteousness
were comforted, indeed, with Sacra-
ments, but they were of a type very
different from these of the new law.
They, in themselves, did not cause
grace, but merely represented the
grace that was to be given them,
through the merits of the Messiah to
come. The Sacraments of the New
Testament, as we possess, them, do
in themselves give grace, and only fail
in their purpose when, as we saw, we
place an obstacle in their way.
There are two kinds of Sacramento,
called those of the living, and those of
the dead These latter are intended,
away from this earthly life, but for
those whose souls are dead, as the re-
suit of sin. We know that the grace
of God, which is the life of the soul,
is withdrawn just as soon as we fall
into deliberate, grievous sin: in that
moment our soul is rendered lifeless.
Through the worthy reception of Pen
ance, or Baptism, as the case may be,
the soul is raised from the death of sin,
and given the. life of justifying grace.
If a person be already living in the
state of grace, and receives properly
any Of the five other Sacramento, he
receives through them an increase of
the grace he already possesses, by
which his soul is made more pure and
holy, more beautiful in the sight of
God; these Sacramento are called Sac
raments of the living, therefore, since
only he can receive them worthily
whose soul is already alive in the pos
session of Divine Grace There are
circumstances, under which one who
is in the state of grace may participate
i'll the Sacramento of the dead, as in
the frequent case of those who APP
proach the Sacrament of Penance,
even though they be conscious of no
grieVous sin. Here further life is CIV
en,-a fresh amount of grace that adds
to the strength of the soul. In addi-
tion, moreover, to justifying grace,
there is sacramento grace,-that pc
culiar, actual help, proper to each in
diyidual Sacrament, which strengthens
the soul of the worthy recipient, and
enables him to perform those duties
and accomplish those ends for which
each particular Sacrament was intend
ed.

NO DEVOTION COMPARABLE
WITH MASS.

ct is the Mass that matters" AS
many of our readers know, says the
English Messenger, these are the
words of a non-Catholic statesman.
They are among the truest words he
ever wrote or spoke. Even he had a
deep sense of the all-importance to
Catholics of the Holy Sacrifice of the
altar.
We may hope that few of our read
eFs need to be reminded of the incom-
parable dignity of Holy Mass. Full
we'll we know that it is the one SUI
preme act of worship. 1t is essentially
the Divine service of the Church;
Divine in its institution, Divine in it's
effects. For the Divine Son of God
is at once its Victim and its Priest,
though He condescends to make use of
the ministry of mortal men. More
over. it offers to all who assist at it
nothing less than the body and blood
of Jesus Christ, His SOUL and Divinity.
No form of devotion can be COM
pared with Holy Mass. no method of
prayer can ever take.itsl place. Though
it is accompanied with petition and
praise and intercession, it is so sur
passingly more than these. 1t is a
great Act of Worship, and one that
brings down to this sinful earth the
Lord of Hosts Who is the King of
Glory.
When, through his own fault, a
Catholic loses Sunday Mass he not
only commits moral sin, but he loses
participation in the greatest act that
can be performed on earth, that show
ing forth of the Lords death in real
though painless mode of sacrifice.

that 'battlcfields are piled high with

There seems to be no way in which
that part of the world that is not
war maddened and consumed with
blood-lust can stop the slaughter in
the old world. Apparently the best
they can do is to determine that their
countries shall not be drawn into the
delirum of death.
But in Europe there is not only
wastage of human life. There is
great wastage of products of fields
and factories. including in this that
which might have been produced but
for the war. This country, more
than any other part of the world,
must supply the products that Europe

many years after the war. AS to this

factories are idle and lands untitled
