The question is asked-who is he?
What the first aid we must bestowo
The beads is with you; there is no
doubt that you are the Catholic and
that the priest Of the church must be
quickly hidden nigh unto you. Carry
with you the heads, even if you do
not repeat the prayers which its use
calls for. Carry with you the beads:
it is the livery of Mary, by itself a
claim to her love and intercession.
Carry with you the beads; in it is the
invitation, which You will not always
repel, to take it into your fingers and
say, Hail Mary, fun of grace, the
Lord. is with thee"
Oft and oft care and sorrow weigh
heavily on us: why not seek to tighten
the burthen by securing to ourselves
the intercession of Mary? Oft and
oft the remembrance of our sins
frightens us: why not ask through
Mary that for her sake, if not for
ours, those sins be forgiven? Oft
and oft in our journey through the

THE TEMPLE or The LORD.

.s
The church edifce means some,
thing to the Catholic. people. Out
siders note that fact as we find in
their writings and conversations.
Says the Atlantic Monthly: 1T is
certainly. true that the Catholic
Church as a Whole is in touch with
her children during every hour Of
the day-not only through the many
stated services, but more significantly
when NO bell rings an invitation, when
altar and choir are deserted by the
chanting priests. These silent inter-
walls between Masses and Benediction
are more fruitful of love and convic-
ton q to the traveller than anything
else.,. For never does he; enter "a
.church-no matter how obscure, how
remote, how unadvertised-77that he

why not walk with the thought of
Mary In our mind, with the name of
Mary on our lips, with the hand OF
Mary fondly resting upon our fore
head? This, for the day that is. But
let us not forget that the moment is
coming-sure to come for all-when
perhaps we shall be too feeble to
pray, when, nevertheless, there is the
need of prayer as never before-the
hour OF our death Then we may not
be able to pray; yet how much we
should wish that then we could say
Holy Mary, pray for us" While now
our lips may move and our hearts
may throb, let us say, again and
again, the sweet words--"Holy Mary,
pray for us now and at the hour of
our DEATH" And so when the hour, of
death does come, whether we our
selves pray or not, whether those
around us pray or not, the prayer of
days gone by win be remembered:
Mary will pray for us, and in answer
to the prayer of Mary, Jesus will be-
stow upon us in richly flowing streams
the mercies of Bethlehem and of Cal
vary.

attended daily Mass, winter and sum

ceived her God and theirs. But now
comes the parting of the ways, and
anxiety is there; but so is her unvary-
ing trust in God, her unwavering con-
fidence in His blessed Mother. Before
her child steps over the threshold the
good mother seeks the counsel of her
confessor who at once treasures her,
and to her JOY promises to call and
bless her home and her children-es-
pecially the one who is about to go
into q new world where oftentimes

Years glide past. Her boys and
girls are filling most creditably posi-
lions of important trust; but at home,
they are still children praying with
and reading for their parents going
daily to holy Mass and Communion; ;.
seeking nothing save the ambition of
being, first of all, devoted children of
holy Church, and secondly, loving
pious children of her who has by word
and example made them what they
are.
Thus is the ideal Catholic home
and mother the very nursery of Heav-
en-; thus do the ideal Catholic home
and mother gather in large harvest
of souls for God, and thus do the
ideal Catholic home and mother bring
Cross of Christ crucified, and JOY to
the Heart of Christ glorified. Such
homes people the cloister with low

earth to bless and preserve the world;
such homes, when the final summons
sounds, when the meek and gentle
Saviour becomes the just and terrible
Judge, when the Angels divide the

WHERE SUPERSTITION COMES. IN.

Is it superstition to carry vegetables
on the person for curative purposes?
A distinction must be made between
mere error of belief and superstition.
Thus some people believe that carry
ing a piece ofjasealing-wax. in the
pocket is a remedy against rheuma-
tism. They have heard it said, and
tried it,. and fancy that some henefit
has accrued. Supposipg this, belief is
without Foundation, this is merely an
error arising from want of scientific
knowledge. Again, some people be-
liexe.; that the moon has a. strange
effect; on the brain and prevents sleep.
Others again believe that lying in, the
direction north and South is better for
sleep than Lying. iii any other direction.
In such cases the idea is that there is
some natural cause at work producing
the alleged effects. This belief may
be wrong, but it is not superstition.
Superstition comes in as soon as you
attach to things 4 eansality which is
not natural and is in some way con-
Trajectory to nature-some kind of
uncanny causality mixed up with. the
idea of fate or the agency of evil
spirits, or the power of magic. Super
stition means therefore an erroneous
belief which clashes with sound views
concerning God or divine Providence,
or the action Of spiritual or tother
unseen agencies r.
From these principles the answer to
the case is clear If those vegetables
are worn under "a simple notion that
they work naturally as curatiVes by
mere attachment to the person, the
belief is no dolBta mistaken one, but
is. not guperstiti9f. Buff there turks
in the mind any inotioi or preternatu-
raj Influence, so that. the vegetables
have something Of the nature Of a
spell or tatlsman, there is not only
error, but superstition, which the
Church condemns,4+ Bombay Examiner.

The ideal Catholic home is the home
