A SAINT FOR THE WEEK.
ST. PAscHAL BABYLON.

From child Paschal seems to have
been marked out for the service of
God and amidst his daily labors he
found time to instruct and evangelize
the rude herdsmen who kept their
flocks on the hills of the Aragon. At
the age of ,twenty-four he entered the
Franciscan Order. in which, however,
he remained, from humility, a simple
lay-brother, and occupied himself, by
preference, with the toughest and
most servile tasks. He was dis
tinguished by an ardent love and devo-
ton to the Blessed Sacrament He
would spend hours on his knees be-
fore the tabernacle-often he was
raised from the ground in the fer
YOUR of his prayer-and there, from
the very and eternal Truth, he drew
such stores of wisdom, that, unletter.
ed as he was, he was counted by
all master in theology and spiritual
science. Shortly after his profession
he was called to Paris on business
connected with his Order. The
journey was full of peril, owing to
the hostility of the Huguenots, who
were numerous at the time in the
south of France; and on four sepa-
rate occasions Paschal was in immi-
nent danger of death at the hands of
the heretics. But it was not God S
will that His servant should obtain
the crown OF martyrdom which,
though judging himself all unworthy
of it, he so earnestly desired, and he
returned in safety to his convent,
where he died in the odour of sane
tity May Is, 1892.
AS Paschal was watching his sheep
on the mountain-side, he heard the
conservation bell ring from a church
in the valley below, where the vii
layers were assembled for Mass. The
Saint fell on his knees, where
suddenly there stood before him an
angel of God, bearing in his hands the
Sacred Host, and Offering it for his
alteration. Learn from this how
pleasing to Jesus Christ are those
who honor Him in this great mystery
CT His love; and how to them espe-
cially this promise is fulfilled will
not leave you orphans; | will come
unto you" John xiv, 49,.

THE MONTH OF MARY.

May is with us once again, with
all it's joyousness and all its beauty.
1t brings us the first sight of new
summer, with it's sunny skies, its soft
green trees and, towering meadows,
and it leads us to the thought of
Mary. There is no other month SO
aptly linked with the devotion to
which it is consecrated, for in every
way this month is emblematic of her
who was the fairest of all creatures.
Mary was the light that shone in the
world after long winter of sin and
darkness, she was the fair flower that
blossomed in the desert of sin and
diffused the fragrance of great hope.
And as Moses of old led the Israelites
through the desert and thence into
the Promised Land SO Mary was the
lovely guide who led the way to the
midsummer glory of Redemption pur-
chased by the Blood of her Divine Son
Jesus Christ. May is the fairest
among months, with a fresh, sweet
beauty that is entirely its own: it
is the best we have to offer. and we
give it to our Mother Mary. To every
Catholic its advent brings holy
thoughts. In short, it is Our Lady S
month.
1t is not however, enough that the
month should be consecrated by the
usage of the Church to its heavenly
Queen. it must also be the endeavor
of every true client of Mary to make,
this month, personal Offering by
some special devotion and service in
her honor The Church helps us in
this 1t indicates to us suitable ways
of honoring the Blessed Virgin in this
month, and invites Us 10 make i

are we to explain our indifference to
the unimaginable benefits to be de-
rived from a loving alteration of His
Divinity in the Blessed Sacrament?
We should be devoted to our Lord
in the Eucharist. He is our only hope.
We all sincerely trust that one day,
sooner or later we shall be His eter-
nal friend and companion in Heaven.
Can we promise ourselves everlasting
acquaintance with Him above, if
we treat Him as an absolute stranger
here below? The heart and soul of
our faith and worship is Jesus Christ
in the tabernacle of our affairs. We
should and must visit Him publicly
and privately. He is waiting for us
to come to Him,

Use Care in Starting

Most all of us have gone along
the street at some time or other,
and heard a motor churn and churn
under the power Of an electric
starter without any apparent re-
suits.
This is one of the most frequent
causes of storage battery trouble
according to a service representa-
tive of the Willard Storage Battery
Co. He explained that very few
motorists seemed to realize the
immense amount OF electrical pow
er which is required to turn a mo-

amount OF driving at charging
speed is necessary to restore same
amount OF current to the battery.
A little care in operating the

last innings and last night the Sand

ELECTRIC AND RAIN STORM
Rainfall Totaled 2 500 Inches Early
This Morning

Abilene's heaviest rain and most
severe electrical storm this season
started last night about one o'clock
and continued until seven o'clock
this morning. The rain poured down
steadily and the fall totaled 2 3-20
inches according to the Farmers
National bank gauge. Fears of high
water and floods we're uppermost in.
the minds of the people living in
the flood affected regions. The
creek rose 10 feet, coming out of it's
first banks, and the river rose to
the 1870 foot mark with the heavy
rain in this and the head water
sections.
All storm sewers were taxed to
capacity and some of the crops are
down as result of the beating rain.
The abundant moisture was not
badly needed by the wheat and corn
as there is enough in the ground to
mature the wheat and the corn
fields need working.
Back water from the river caus-
ed Turkey creek to overflow its
banks and some of the crops on the
bottoms southwest of town were
'uined. Surrounding towns report as
much and more rain as fell here.
'hree inches was recorded at Tall

is thrown before attempting to
operate the self-sttarter. Sometimes
the gasoline tank is empty and
under such conditions no amount
of cranking would start the motor.
The ignition button should al
ways be pressed in firmly and all

Occasionally the gasoline mixture
is too weak and on most cars this

WHIRLWIND HOTEL CAMPAIGN
BEGINS THURSDAY
Five Appointed to Direct Contest to
Secure Stock Subscriptions
for Abilene's New Hotel

With Fred Coulson, chairman
and the committee composed Of E.
H. Forney, DR.. E. L. Garrett, Frank
Geoffroy and c. H. Brooks, at the
helm, a whirlwind ten day cam
paign to raise the remaining stock

inaugurated Thursday morning. The
details are yet to be worked out by
the committee, but it promises to
get the money in the limited time as

will be sold in 500 shares payable
in monthly installments Fifty
thousand of preferred stock with

elers, who boost for Abilene IN
