THE AUTHORITY OF THE
CHURCH.

Jesus Christ instituted the Church
to continue the work of Redemption
which He, Himself, had begun, says
the Brooklyn Tablet. He consti:
tuted it as religious society through
which the merits of His passion and
death were to be applied to the souls
of mankind. And in order that this
divinely founded organization might
the better accomplish the end for
which it was instituted, He CON
ferred upon his Church certain
powers and privileges which it was to
enjoy under His sanction and approx
al. He Commissioned the Apostles
and their successors to fulfill the
threshold Office which He Himself had
executed: namely, to teach, to sancti-
fly and to govern all men.
Go We, therefore, and teach all ma
tons, was the divine command spok.
en- by Our Lord when He gave His
disciples the whole world as a field
for their future labors. He sent them
to instruct men in all that pertained
to God and the kingdom of God. He
promised that He would never cease
to direct and assist them in their di-
vine mission. Aud as the Redemption
was not only for those who CHANGED
to live at the time Our Saviour suf.
fered and died; as it was to extend to
all men at all times, SO that Church.

THE HOLY INFANT JESUS.

And the Word was made flesh, and
dwelt amongst u.s." This coming in
the flesh of the Eternal Word is for
us prodigy of Gods mercy and love.
In it we contemplate the Son of God,
not creating worlds, nor appearing
with the dazzling glory of the God
head, but clothed in the infirmities of
mortal flesh, in the form of a helpless
infant, and in utter restitution
PROSTATE in humble alteration at His
feet we pour out to Him the tribute
of our grateful hope.
We should remember that the Eter-
nal Son of God became flesh and dwelt
among us, not merely to redeem us
from sin, but also to instruct us in
the way of salvation by His own
example. By His death He opened
the gates of heaven which sin had
closed against us, and by His life has
taught us the way that leads to its
possession. Let us, then, consider
just few Of the many lessons we may
learn from the contemplation of our
Infant Saviour.
Man was created to be happy. The
desire of happiness is inseparable
from his nature, and is placed there
by the Creator of all things Himself
AS long as man was in a state of in
nocence he found his happiness in
God. Free from the disorderly pas
sions engendered in his heart by sin,
his aspirations tended naturally
toward the contemplation of that In
finite Being for Whom alone he was
created and Who alone could fully
satisfy the eager yearning of his soul
But beneath the blighting influence
of sin, mans reason became over
Clouded by the binding mists of pas
sion resulting from the corruption of
his fallen nature. His heart, instead
of raising its affections spontaneously
TO Him Who is its sovereign and only
good, bends downwards to the earth,
to seek in its delusive joys the happi-
ness that he no longer finds in God.
Honor, wealth, the pleasures of this
world are henceforth the goal of his
endeavor. He seeks his happiness in
them, and poverty and suffering and
humiliation are as things hateful and
most abhorrent to him. II is against
these disorderly desires that the In
FAINT Jesus conbats by giving us an
example of the very opposite virtues.
Let us begin with pride the most
dangerous of all the passions. It's
raYages are most extensive, because
While other passions have particular
vices for their object pride aims at
injecting all our actions. The ramifi-
cations of this dangerous passion are
innumerable, but its malign influence
consists principally in the inordinate
opinion it leads us to form of our own
worth, whereby we claim a right to
honor and distinction as just tributes
to our fancied excellence. s'Incurable, Z
says st. Augustine, must be this
deepest wound of the human heart il
it finds not remedy in the unspeak-
able humiliations of the Eternal
Word
God enters this world with every
prestige Of His divine origin bIotted
out, and takes His rank among the
last and lowest of men, On the eve
Of His birth we find His Blessed
Mother wandering through the streets
Of Bethlehem with every human habi,

xxx. Philosophy in Discredit.

Objections: Since the natural
sciences have attained such high
degree Of perfection, philosophy is
very much in diseredit, so much so
that in scientific circles they have
only pitiful smile for it; it's very
name fills one with disgust.
Answer: 1t is no wonder, for the
true, genuine, old, Aristotelian-scho-
lastic philosophy is unknown in such
circles; the modern sham philosophy
brought this discredit on itself.
Since the days of Descartes Ct 1850
and Kant (f 1900 the so-called mod
ern philosophy has lost more and more
the solid foundation of reality and
sinks deeper and more hopelessly into
the marshes of skepticism and ideal
ism.
In Germany it was Kant who tore
philosophy from reality and began that
skepticism which, in spite of the nice
title, "Critique of Pure Reason" be-
gins and ends in pure unreason. Kant
begins by doubling the reliability of
the human intellect; then he exam
ines it; but with what? With his own
intellect which, according to him, is
not reliable. Can we expect reliable
result? If you would measure some
distance with an unreliable instru-
ment you would not place much con-
fidence i'll the result of your measure
ment.

ject to transcendental appearance and
that it is impossible to know whether
there is any reality behind this APP
pearance. But how can he expect
that we accept his views as true? He
has to admit that he may be subject
to illusions and can not know whether
he speaks the truth or is deceived
whether he explains truly or falsely
the human power Of acquiring knowl
edge.
He denies the objective reality OF
the world and declares that the thing
in itself" is an unknown quantity
and still, contradicting himself he
maintains that there exists such an
unknown thing. According to his sys
tenn, if followed to its logical conclu
sion, everything is only subjective
only imaginary, at least we are not
certain of any really existing thing

Won Hartmann Ct 1906) satirically re-
marks: Kant has the self conceit
to leave the contradictions in his sys.

MASS OFFERINGS.

Those who are not Catholics often
feel shocked that in regard to Masses
there should ID be any recognition
of a money equivalent for the offering
of the Holy Sacrifice; (2) that there
should exist a difference i'll the price
of saying Masses in various countries,
and (3) that the poor are always at a
disadvantage as compared with the
wealthy in the matter of having
Masses said, writes Rev. III. Thurston,
S. j., in America /"
In regard to the first issue, much
of the repugnanee felt at remunera-
ton of the priest, for the saying of
Masses (by those who do not believe
in them and consequently do not have
them said. is due quite as much to
the artificialitys of modern life as to
any deep spiritual instinct. On the
other hand, the lawfulness of some
exchange of material support against
spiritual service has been upheld
from the very beginning of Chris
tianity.
The teaching of st. Paul is particu-
larry explicit: Who serveth as sol
der at any time at his own charges
Who planteth a vineyard and eateth
not of the fruit thereof? Who feedeth
flock and partaketh not of the milk
of the flock? IL we have sown unto
you spiritual things, is it greater mat
tiers. il we reap your carna1 things r

"a SAINT FOR THE WEEK.
ST. VERONICA or MILAN.

q 4
Verenicas parents were peasants
of village near Milan. From her
childhood she toiled hard in the house
and the field, and accomplished cheer
fully every mental task. Gradually
the desire for perfection grew within
her; she became deaf to the jokes
and songs of her companions, and
sometimes, when reaping and hoeing,
would hide her face and weep. Know
ing no letters she began to be anx-
ious about her learning, and rose
secretly at night to teach herself to
read. Our Lady told her that other
things were necessary, but not this.
Our Lady showed Veronica three
mystical letters, which would teach
her more than books. The first
signified purity of intention; the sec
ond adherence of murmuring or
criticism; the third, daily mediation
of the Passion. BY the first she
learnt to begin her daily duties for no
human motive, but for God alone. BY
the second, to carry out what she had
thus begun by attending to her own
affairs, never judging her neighbor,
but praying for those who manifestly
erred. BY the third, she was enabled
to forget her own pains and sorrows
in those of her Lord, and to weep
hourly but silently over her memory
Of His wrongs. She had constant
ecstasies, and saw in successive
visions the whole life Of Jesus, and
many other mysteries. Yet, by a
special grace, neither her raptures,
nor her tears ever interrupted her
Iabors which ended only with death.
After three years patient waiting,
she was received as lay sister in the
Convent of st. Martha at Milan. The
community was extremely poor, and
Veronicas duty was to beg through
| the city for their daily food. Three
years after receiving the habit, she
was afflicted with secret but constant
| bodily pains, yet never would con
sent to be relieved of any OF her
labors, or to omit one of her prayers.
BY exact obedience she became liv-
| ing copy of the Rule, and obeyed with

most hard and humbling occupations
and in their performance enjoyed

human souls, was to reach out to the
very confines of future time, and teach
all nations the truths of eternal lie.
This Injunction to teach and preach
must, therefore, still be incumbent Oh
the Church and Christ must be with
the Church in the execution OF the
commission He imposed upon Ills
Apostles and their successors.
Not only did He command them to
teach; He also enioined His Apostles
to sanctify the SOILS of men, by Of
fering sacrifcegfor them, administer
ing. the Sacraments to them, etc. 1t
is not enough that we should be
taught the doctrines of Christ's relig-
ion. knowledge will not save us IL
sanctity be absent from our lives. We
need sanctifying agent to make our
souls holy and pleasing in Gods sight.
This spiritual influence Christ entrust-
ed to His Church and apart from it,
and by ourselves, we cannot realize
that sanctity which, as Christ intend
ed, should dignity and ennoble US.
The third Office of the Church is to
govern the faithful. If Christ gave
His Apostles and their successors the
prerogatiye of teaching and sanctify-
ing men. it is necessary that men
should be subject to the direction Of
the Church. else our Lords commits
sion would be futile and nugatory. If
the society, instituted by Jesus Christ,
has the right to instruct us in our re-
ligious duties. there must be CORE
sponding obligation upon us to heed
and observe that teaching. If it rest
ed with rs to accept or refuse what
we are taught the original commits
sion of our Redeener to His Apostles,
would not. could not, ever be fulfilled.
IT must have divine sanction, other
wise If cannot realize the purpose Of
the God who gave it. Inasmuch as
there is an obligation upon tile sue

tion unon rs to be docile and obedient
