XII. BUCHNER's AFTER-DINNER
NAP

Objections: "a direct proof for the
annihilation thence of the material
ityl Of the soul is furnished by sleep.
In consequence of the corporal con-
ditions the function Of the organ of
thought (the brain) is stopped in
sleep, and thus in the true sense of
the word the soul is annihilated.
The spiritual being has fled, and only
the body continues to exist and vege-
tate On awakening the soul
finds itself exactly where it forgot
itself when going to death; the long
interval did not exist for it; it was
a condition of spiritual sleep {.
At the moment of doing off an I'M
easy feeling creeps upon one at the
approaching spiritual humiliation
and the uncertainty whether it will
be temporal or eternal" (Buchner,
Kraft und Stoff, p. 236-Force and
Matter.)
Answer: I appeal first of all to
everyone who is in the habit of talk
ing AN after-dinner nap whether he
experiences that uneasy feeling of
spiritual humiliation creep upon
him." One sits in the easy-chair in a
coy corner of the warm room, reads
the paper, feels drOwsy-and falls
into a slumber. Where is that ''un-
easy feeling of spiritual annihila-
tion?" Such reveries may do for a
poet, but never for a scientist and
philosopher. Here evidently Buechner
died" in his sleep as a philosopher
and as scientist was "annihilated,"
Moreover, we must look wondering
ly at materialists, who believe this,
as queer spectors, for every day at
least once they rise literally from
the dead, and all this as a reward
that by going to sleep they become
habitual suicides! - A wholesale
murderer would be the materialistic
professor whose lectures, especially
on materialstic philosophy would
be so dry and tedious that his hearers
fell asleep!
But all joking apart This non
sense is the logical consequence of
Materialism. If the soul is not
spiritual and a self-eXisting being,
then, as Buechner must necessarily
admit, it is annihilated in sleep. What
nonsense!
But more still! On awakening
there are unlooked-for difficulties.
The soul of yesterday is annihilated;
the soul of this morning can not be
the seIf-same, and still is knows all
that the soul of yesterday knew, be-
sides those Of the day Before yester-
day and the year before. How is
that? 1t also believes positively to be
identical with former souls. Why is
that? This is the innermOst con-
seriousness and conviction of all men.
Now | ask any reasonable being: Is
all this conviction an error or is
materialism an error?

Why look with such dread upon the
receiving of your Easter Communion,
even though you have been away for
a long time? A little real earnestness
on your part and Gods ever-present
grace are all that are required. AS
you we'll know you may go to con-
fession to any duly authorized priest
in the entire diocese, and thus prepare
for your Easter Communion.
One word in conclusion. If, Chris
tian Reader, this pamphlet should fall
into your hands even after the close
of the Easter Season, let it's words
pleading be not the less needed. If
you have neglected your Easter Duty,
do your best to make amends by ap-
preaching the Holy Table without
further delay.

A SAINT FOR THE WEEK.
SAINT STEPHEN HARDING.

After pious education at Sherr
borne Abbey in Dorsetshire, Stephen
entered the Benedictine house at
Molesme in Burgundy, then in all the
fervour of new foundation But
with the increase of aims the observ-
ance relaxed; and Stephen, having in
vain protested against the growing
remissness, followed St. Robert with
twenty-one monks to Citeaux. There
he became abbot, and strictly carried
out the rule of manual labor and
poverty. No. industry of the monks,
however, could supply the. necessary
food. When only threepence re-
NAMED, Stephen babe a brother go
and buy three wagons laden with
provisions. His faith was rewarded.
The monks starved looks moved a
dying man to give the required sum-.
and henceforth aims flowed in. Still
novices shrank from so severe a life.
A pestilence carried off monk after
monk, and Stephen fearing that his
strictness was displeasing to God,
babe one, who was dying, return if
possible to enlighten him. A vision
treasured him, and before long there
stood at the gate of the convent the
young Saint Bernard and thirty noble
youths, begging admittance as novices.
The trials of CiteauX were now over;
affiliations went out far and near, and
Stephen became; with Saint Robert,
co-founded of the great Cistercian
Order. He died A. D. 1884.
In the Cistercian abbeys nothing
was allowed to interfere with the
allotted portion of manual labour. The
priest on finishing Mass exchanged
his chasuble and stole for the pick
axe and spade. Saint Bernard broke
off one of his sermons on the Can
ticles because because the monks
must go to work The choir-monks
cultivated the lands near the church,
and the lay-brothers the distant
farms. When the bell rang for the
Office, the latter knelt down in the
fields, and said such vocal prayers
as they knew. by heart. So acceptable
to God was their lowly service that,
as Saint Bernard was preaching on
the Feast of the Assumption, angels
brought him tidings of the humble
lay-brother who in lonely farm was
repeating the Ave Maria with extra
ordinary devotion.
