WHY DO THE MENDIcANT NUNS
DO WHAT THEY DO?

What is the secret of Catholic char
ity which reaches the very soul, as dis
tinguished from natural benevolence,
and unsectarian humanitarianism
which thinks only of bodily relief?''
This question has puzzled many, but
those who are best fitted to, answer
it are those women of the mendicant
orders whose institutions fill our land.
To many it has always seemed pre-
posterous that gently bred women
could give up all this life holds
family ties, pleasures and the refine
ments of good living-in order to be
one with the poor, the abject and de-
spised of this world There are Cath
olics even who fail to comprehend the
psychology of voeations such as these
Sisters possess. This is either from a
lack of interior living or spirituality,
or it is the result of ignorance of the
teachings of their Church.
To try to fathom what brings about
such sacrifices joyful1y and gladly
made and then to understand the
happy, peaceful thoughts these nuns
possess while engaged in their minis
trations is too great q task. BY fol
lowing them in their daily occupa-
tions, however, we may be able to
comprehend something of the motives
and forces which direct their thoughts.
Primarily, there must be an intense
love for God; secondly, an ardent de
sire to see Him in His poor, even in
the outcast; thirdly, life in one of
these communities is nearly a replica
of the household at Nazareth, and the
true disciple longs to initiate the Mas
ter in all things.
With these exalted ideas our Sis
tiers begin their days of collecting
aims, food, clothing from the chart
table public. It must be this alone
which sustains them in their work in
spite of rebuffs, humiliating insults
even. They go about our streets,
sometimes with basket. accepting
anything, no matter how small, some
times in wagon, when larger articles,
such as household effects, can be car
ried away, always giving the same
blessing for gifts. large or small, and
with never a question, never even a
suggestion OF personal interest. Or self

tears and with deep contrition :
From that hour Chopin was com
pletely changed. That same day he
entered into his agony, which lasted
four days and nights. He bore all his
pains with angelic patience, always
invoking the name of God and thank
ing Him.
Transported by divine love, he de-
sired to die for the sake of seeing
God sooner. To all friends who came
to bid him farewell he spoke of his
felicity. Once Chopin opened his eyes
and, seeing his room filled with peo-
pie, he said: What are all these peo-
pie doing? Why. are they not pray
ing% All these fell on their knees to
say the Litany of the Saints; even the
Protestants answered the responses.
During nearly the whole day and whole
night Chopin held my hand in his, say
ing, You won't leave me in the SUI
preme moment Finally, he who was
SO refined in his manner of speaking,
wishing to express strongly his graft
tude and the misfortune of those who
die without the sacraments, said:
"'Only for you | should have died
like a pig
AT last he pronounced again the
sweet names of Jesus, Mary and Jo-
seph, put the Crucifix to his lips, and
his final words were: i am already
at the fountain of happiness Then
he expired"

HOLY NAME SOCIETY.

At the dawn of the thirteenth GEN.
fury blatant heresy and culpable in
differentism ravaged the Church in
France and Spain of much supernat-
ural power and splendor and contain
mated the hearts and minds of great
percentage of the people to such an ex-
tent as to cause doubt and denial of
the Divinity of Christ and vilification
of His Holy Name. To-
The holy name of Jesus Christ was
constantly on the tongue of cursers
and blasphemers. 1t was used in en-
phasis of a story and repeatedly forced
into ever foolish and filthy converse
ton. The angry person cursed by the
name of Jesus Christ. The villain
told his knayish crimes by abusing
the holy name. On the streets and in
the field, in factories and farms, where
ever people would gather, our Saw
iour's holy name was profaned.
Where Christ's name was abused, the
devils name was used.
Seeing the havoc that was done to
the holy name by evil tongues, St.
Dominic preached on the Divinity Of
Jesus Christ, on the dignity of His
holy name and thus convinced the peo-
pie of their terrible sin of abusing the
name of Jesus Christ. He fought and
conquered the Albigensian heresy.
In 1874, Pope Gregory X, who pre-
sided at the Second Council of Lyons,
i'm a. special letter to the Sons of st.
Dominic, urged the faithful to bow
their heads whenever the holy name of
Jesus was mentioned
Upon receipt of said letter, the
Dominican General, Blessed John Of
Vercelli, obliged the entire Order to
comply conscientiously and without de-
lay with the urgent request of the
Holy Father. SO it was done; the de-
yotion to. the Holy Name began to
flourish throughout the country.
AS a specific society it was organ
lied by Bishop Diaz at Lisbon, Janu-
airy /, 1888. The Feast of the Cir
cumsion, the day on which Jesus re-
ceiyed His name, was made the prin-
cipal feast Of the Holy Name Society.
The Infant Jesus was its Patron.
Pope Plus ". in 1864, approved and
promoted the Society of the Holy
Name OF Jesus.
The purpose Of the Society of the
Holy Name of Jesus is plainly ex-
pressed in the obligations approved by
pope Plus TN. They are:
i. 10 labor individually for the
glory OF Gods Name. and to make It
known to those who are ignorant of It.

A SAINT FOR THE WEEK
ST. SIMON, INFANT MARTYR.

Hail flowers of the martyrs" the
Church sings in her Office of the Holy
Innocents, who were the first to die
for Christ; and in every age mere
children and infants have gloriously
confessed His name. In 1472, the
Jews in the city of Trent determined
to vent their hate against the Cruel
fed by Staying Christian child at
the coming Passover, and Tobias, one
Of their number, was deputed to en-
trap victim. He found bright
smiling boy named Simon playing out
side his home. with no one guarding
him. Tobias patted the little fellows
cheek and coaxed him to take his
hand. The boy, who was not two
years old, did so; but he began to call
and cry for his mother when he found
himself being led from home. Then
Tobias gave him bright coin to look
at, and with many hind caresses sill
enced his grief and conducted him
securely to his house. At midnight
on Holy Thursday the work of butch
cry began. Having gagged his mouth,
they held his arms in the form of a
cross, while they pierced his tender
body with avis and bodkins in bias
phemous mockery of the sufferings of
Jesus Christ. After an hours torture
the little martyr lifted his eyes ITO
heaven, and gave up his innocent soul.
The Jews cast his body into the river;
but their crime was discovered and
punished, while the holy relics were
enshrined in st. Peters Church at
Trent, where they have worked many
miracles.
The English William Norwich is an
other of these children martyrs. His
parents were simple country folk, but
his mother was taught by vision to
expect a saint in her son. AS a boy
he tasted thrice a week and prayed
constantly, and he was only an appren-
tice twelve years of age, at tanners
in Norwich, when he won his crown.
A little before Easter, a. ID. 1877, he
was enticed into a Jews house, and
was there gagged bound, and cruel
fed in hatred of Christ. Five years
passed before the body was found,
when it was buried as sanity relic
in the cathedral churchyard A rose
tree planted hard by lowered miracu-
lousy in mid-winter, and all manner
of sick persons were healed of their
disease at st. Williams shrine.

sELF-coNTRoL.

Prune thou thy words, the thoughts
control,
That DER thee swell and throng;
They will condense within thy soul
And change to purpose strong.
But he who lets his feelings run
In soft, luxurious flow
Shrinks when hard service must be
done,
And faints at every woe.
Faiths meanest deed more favor
bears,
Where hearts and wills are weighed,
Than brightest transports, choicest
prayers
Which bloom their hour and fade.

SOME FACTS ABOUT PoPEs.

The Pope need not be an Italian.
All Catholic Americans hope there
will some day be an American citizen
elected Pope.
The Pope need not be the most
learned man in the Church 1t is pos
sible that many priests, Bishops,
Archbishops and Cardinals are more
highly educated than he.
The Catholic bulletin. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1911-1995, 1916-12-30

1t is impossible for good man to
lose faith in his fellowmen, since to
lose faith in the goodness or trust
worthiness of others commits him to
the conclusion that God made an ex-
ception in creating him.
