water cannot reach the body of the
child. When, however, this seems i'm
possible, even with the aid of an in
strument, Benedict XIV (Syn. Dioec.,
vii, 81 declares that midwives should
be instructed to confer conditional
baptism. The Ritual further says that
when the water can flow upon the
head of the infant the sacrament is
to be administered absolutely; but II
it can be poured only on some other
part of the body, baptism is indeed
to be conferred, but it must be con-
ditionally repeated in case the child
survives it's birth. 1t is to be noted
that in these last two cases, the
rubric of the Ritual supposes that the
infant has partly emerged from the
womb. For if the foetus was entirely
enclosed, baptism is to be repeated
conditionally in all cases Uehmkuhl,

ed, the foetus may be conditionally
baptized before extraction, if possible;
if the sacrament is administered
after it's removal from the womb the
baptism is to be absolute, provided
it is certain that life remains. If
after extraction it is doubtful whether

under the condition: IF thou art

wives ought to be reminded of the
grave obligation of administering bap-
tism under those circumstances (Cop-

INFANT BAPTISM.

In case of necessity, not only a
priest or deacon, but even layman
or woman, nay even a pagan or here
tic may confer baptism. The main
reason for this extension of power as
to the administration of baptism is,
of course, that the Church has under
stood from the beginning that this
was the will of Christ. st. Thomas
UII, Q. Xvii, a. 81 says that owing to
the absolute necessity of baptism for
the salvation of souls, it is in accord
ance with the mercy of God, Who
wishes all to be saved, that the
means of obtaining this sacrament
should be put, as far as possible,
within the reach of all; and as for
that reason the matter of the sacra-
ment was made of common water,
which can most easily be had, so in
like manner it was only proper that
every man should be made it's min
lister.
1t is true that the Council of Neo-
caesarea (can. viz declares that an in
FAINT cannot be baptized in its mothers
womb, but it was teaching only that
neither the baptism of the mother nor
her faith is common to her and the
infant in her womb, but are acts pecu-
liar to the mother alone.
This leads to the baptism of infants
in cases of difficult parturition. When

THE CRUCIFIx.

Ever since our Lord and Savior died
on the cross the image of the crucified
Christ has been an object of great
reverence, especially among Catho-
lies. In our churches, next to the
Blessed Sacrament, the blessed cruel
fix holds the highest place of honor.
The crucifiX must, by positive law Of
the Church, be on or over the altar
during the celebration of the Holy
Mass, to show us that that sacred rite
is the unbloody renewal of Calvary's
bloody sacrifice.
The statues and paintings of the
Blessed Virgin, of the angels and
saints are properly honored, but in
relation to the crucifix they hold a
secondary place. In every truly Cath
Ollie home the crucifx is esteemed and
loved. Sculptors, carvers and painters
in all ages and countries, have gladly
given of their talent and labor to ex-
press in marble, stone, bronze, ivory
or on canvas their ideal of Christ
crucified.

plish great results. When the great
st. Bonaventure was teaching the
ology in Paris and attracting general
esteem and admiration by his works,
st. Thomas Aquinas went one day to
see him, and requested him to show
him what books he used in his studies.
Then st. Bonaventure, conduct
ing him to his little chamber, showed
him some very common books that
were on his table. But st. Thomas
gave him to understand that he de-
sired to see the other books from
which he derived so many marvellous
things The saint then showed him
a small oratory, with nothing in it
but a crucifix. There, Father" said
he, "are all my other books; this is
the principal one from which l draw
all l teach and all l write. Yes, it
is by throwing myself at the foot of
that crucifix and begging of Him
Whose image it bears the enlighten-
ment of my doubts. and assisting at
Mass, that | have made more progress
in the sciences and have gained more
true light than l would have done by
the reading of any books whatso'
ever"
We do not realize this, that while
men study much and know but com
paratively little, the saints content
themselves with the crucifix, and
attain to the most sublime perfec
ton, not that they, especially those
among them whose duty or Office il
was to instruct others or to defend
the faith, neglected or despised the
acquisition of human knowledge, bu
they gave the preference to divine
knowledge, and esteemed, with st
Paul, the knowledge of the cross ant
of Him crucified on it above all mere
human science and knowledge. We
with them, must first seek God ant
His holy will, then all things else will
be given unto us. We should dali!
pray that the last object our dyin,
eyes shall behold may be the blessed
crucifix.

A SAINT FOR THE WEEK
ST. HENRY, EMPEROR.

Henry, Duke of Bavaria, saw in
vision his guardian st. Wolfgang
pointing to the words after six"
This moved him to prepare for death,
and for six years he continued to
watch and pray, when at the end of
the sixth year he found the warning
verified in his election as emperor
Thus trained in the fear of God, he
assembled the throne with but one
thought-to reign for His greater
glory. The pagan Slavs were then de-
spelling the empire. Henry attacked
them with a small force; but Angels
and Saints were seen leading his
troops, and the heathens fed in de-
spair. Poland and Bohemia, Moravia
and Burgundy, we're in turn annexed
to his kingdom: Pannonia and Hun
gary won to the Church. With the
faith secured in Germany. Henry pass
ed into Italy, drove out the Antipope
Gregory, brought Benedict VIII back
to Rome, and was crowned in st.
Peters by that Pontiff in 1914. Like
holy David, Henry employed the fruits
or his conquests in the service of the
temple. The forests and mines of the
empire, the best that his treasury
could produce, we're consecrated to
the sanctuary. Stately cathedrals,
noble monasteries, churches innumer-
able, enlightened and sanctified the
once heather lands. In 1922 Henry
lay on his bed of death. He gave back
to her parents his wife, St Cunegunda,
"a virgin still, as a virgin he had re-
ceived her from Christ" and surren-
dered his own pure soul to God.
1t was Henry's custom on arriving
in any town to spend his first night
in watching in some church dedicated
to our Blessed Lady. AS he was thus
praying in st. Mary Majors, the first
night Of his arrival in Rome: saw

What is the chief reason for the superi- ority of Royal Baking Powder?
 There are several good reasons, but there is one which distinguishes Royal from other baking powders.
 This reason, which every woman should know, is that Royal Baking Powder is made from cream of tartar, which comes from grapes. This means heathful fruit origin It means natural food as distinguished from mineral substitutes used in other baking powders
 There is no alum nor phosphate in Royal Baking Powder.
