A CHRISTIANS REVENGE.

Some years ago business of q legal
nature called me to b 1t was a
good ten hours ride by rail from the
city where 1 lived, and the prospect
of so long and tiresome III journey was
not pleasant. However, with an air
of grin and bear it, I boarded the
train, making bee line for the
smoker, pulled out a good cigar from
a supply I had secured to while away
dull time; bought morning paper;
and sat back in my seat determined to
make the best of it: After an hours
reading l put down my paper and
looked around me for some friendly
face. All strangers "Just my luck"
thought I. Here I'll have to hump
along this way for the rest of the day
without so much as a How dye do

My wandering look was suddenly

wealthy man vowed to. spend con-
siderable sum of money in charities
every year, if he became poor, his
vow would no longer bind him. And
generally a vow, like any other prom
Use, will cease to bind if circumstances
supervene which at the outset would
have prevented the VOW from being
taken. A VOW ceases to bind extrin-
sically if it is annulled, or dispensed
or committed. ....
The annulment of vow may be di-
rect or indirect By, direct annulment
the obligation of a, VOW is altogether
removed by one who has the author
ity over the will of the person who
took the VOW. For those who are
placed in such state of dependency
on their superiors cannot undertake
any absolute obligation; they can
only bind themselves conditionally,
supposing that their superior consents.
If he does not consent the obligation
falls to the ground.
By indirect annulment the obliga,
ton is suspended by one who has
authority over the matter of the VOW.
For it is not just that an obligation
should be undertaken which interferes
with the rights of someone else. And
so if a servant took a VOW to hear
Mass every morning, her mistress,
whose rights are infringed thereby,
might suspend the obligation of the
VOW as long as the servant remains
with her, for no service is rendered
to God by injuring, a fellow creature.
When the term of service expired the
obligation of the vow would revive.
The annulment of vow will be
valid even when it is done without
just cause and against the will of the
subject, for even then a aeondition is
wanting on which the validity Of the
vow depended @ ~
1t will be lawful as well, if there be
a reasonable cause, which need not
necessarily be a. very serious one.

VOWS.

A vow is a promise made to God
about something which is good, pos
sible and better than it's omission,
writes Rev. w. j. Nc in the Provi-
dence Visitor
1t is then promise, contract with
God, a deliberate taking on ones self
of new obligation which binds the
conscience; and in this it differs from
a mere contract to do better, which
imposes no new and special obliga,
ton. Such an act must be perfectly
human, performed with full knowledge
and with complete use of reason, so
that vow taken by man who was
half drunk, or who had not the full
use of reason, would not be valid. A
vow, however, does not require actual
and implicit consent when the obliga-
ton is assumed; it will be sufficient
if there is virtual and implicit con.
sent.
A vow in the strict sense is an act
of divine worship offered to God alone
and so we cannot take VOW to the
Blessed Virgin and the saints.
The matter of VOW must be some
thing which is lawful and good; it
would be an insult to God to promise
Him to do something wrong. 1t must
be something which is possible, both
physically and morally, for there can
be no obligation to do what is impos.
sible. A VOW, then, to avoid all sin,
even the slightest, would be invalid,
for without special privilege of God,
it is impossible. The matter of VOW
must not only be good, but better than
its omission or its opposite For what
is promised to God in a special man.
ner and under fresh obligation must
be something that win be pleasing to

A SAINT FOR THE WEEK.
ST. PoEMEN, ABBOT.

The sanctityfo of ST. Poemen was so
eminent that he had been called the
fellow-citizen of the angels, the chief
of solitaries, and the prince of the
desert. He was an Egyptian, and
about the age of fifteen he entered the
desert and persuaded his six young
brothers to do the same. They en-
braced life of prayer, labor, and ex-
IRENE modification, often passing
many days without tasting food. Al
though so severe towards himself, Poe
mems spirit was one Of marvellous ten
derness towards others. He would
say, IF monk wishes to taste true
peace, he must learn never to judge
another, and be convinced Of his own
nothingness." A solitary once said to
him, my father, when receive visit
from one of the brethren whom know
to be guilty of considerable fault,
refuse to admit him; but if I know him
to be a good religious, l receive him
with ioy." ST. Poemen answered, IF
you are kind to him who is good, you
should be doubly so to him who is all
ing" He also said: God came down
to earth to see the guilt of Sodom be-
fore Furnishing it, to teach us never to
believe the evil we hear of another"
And again: "A just man who subdues
his passions may give lessons to
other; but if he is subject to them he
is like one who pulls down his own
house to build that of another" Poe
men died at a great age, about the
year 451. .r
st. Poemen greatly disapproved that
bitter zeal which blames every little
fault without consideration for the
weakness of human nature, and which
is ever prone to judge and condemn
our neighhor Some solitaries said to
him, my father, when we see any of
the brethren asleep as the hour of
prayer, ought we not to awaken them?"
But Poemen answered, when see a
brother thus overcome by sleep, only
wish could pillow his head upon my
knees, that he might rest the better. !"

Houses In Raadad. i.

A Bagdad house in the summer is a fiery furnace, and no one, unless his name be Shad.ach or Meshach or Abednego, could live within its four walls with comfort. and yet the natives have made brave attempt to over come the difficulties of their situation. Deep in the ground tscy have built eel lars, or serdabs. and these serve as cooling chambers. The cellars are kept pretty dark. 'The light enters" says one who has lived there, through small windows, or openings, where. in- sfAad of glass, is placed a lattice of palm filled with n prickly camePs thorn. Several times a day the occu- pants sprinkle water on these thorns, and the moisture cools the hot wind as it passes through the rooms and gives a comparatively refreshing breeze. But toward night these cellars become unbearably close. and then the entire city mounts to the fiat roofs, where it dimes and sleeps. ."-Boston Transcript.

The Title "Enqineer.u

It is unfortunate, according to the Engineering Record, that in America most people associate the word len. gineer" with a man who runs an en- zine or a boiler. Even the man who operates the boilers of an apartment building Is called an engineer" al- though the name is entirely a mis- homer when applied to him. He may be good mechanic, but he Is not an engineer. The gray haired man who drives the locomotive of a transconti- mental limited and who holds the lives of hundreds of human beings in. his care belongs to the very highest type of mechanic, but he is not an engineer, except in the United States and Cana da. All foreign languages have words that properly designate the work these men are doing. In our country there is no word to distinguish them from the bridge builder, the sanitary expert, etc.
