EXAM PL E.

What we know, and what we are,
and what we want to be, depend
largely on whom we know, or have
known. After all our studying and all
our thinking, our standards of wisdom,
and of goodness, and of nobility of
action, and of Worthiness of aim, are
largely conned to some personal Illus
tration of these ideals, in those who
have, at some time, won our honor and
our admiration. 1t is because one
who impressed us with a sense of his
great genius, Or of his exalted personal
character, or of his exceptional intel
lectual attainments, first brought be-
fore us some fundamental principle of
truth, that the principle has had on
rolling power with us in our lives from
that day to this, and our very studies
have been in the line of his pointing
out
1t is also because of our new ac-
quaintance with person of marked
refinement, or delicacy, or keen per-
ception, or lofty aspirations, that we
often have new indictments to well
doing and we'll being. Our highest i'm
pulse toward heroic daring or doing
for the right is always, most directly,
the effect of the courageous conduct
Of others. The depths of our spiritual
nature are stirred and quickened by
sympathy with and up reaching toward
one who is a true eXemplar of the
Christian character. We have practi-
cally no conceptions of standard
which has never been impersonated be-
fore us. This is in the very nature of
things, and it is useless for us to argue
against it.
For nothing, then, in the way of
helps toward virtue, have we greater
reason for thankfulness to God than
for friends who hold before us lofty
ideal And at no point ought we to
feel more heavily responsibility rest
ing upon us, than at the point where
we may present such an ideal, exam
pie or illustration to those who are
yet in the formation period of charac-
ter and life.

ZEAL FOR THE WORD OF GOD.


The more ST. Anthony of Padua en-
deavored to remain hidden and I'M
known, the more did God eXalt His
servant before his death. A noble
lady, richly dressed, was going to hear
one of the Lenten sermons preached
by the saint, accompanied by her
servants. Absorbed in her own
thoughts, she paid little attention to-
the road, and fell into a pool filled
with dirty water She naturally ex-
pected to be covered with mud, which,
to her great veXation, would have pre-
vented her from hearing the sermon
Strange to say, on her being assisted
out of the pool, not a speck of mud
was to be seen on her Clothes
The news of this miracle was soon
repeated from mouth to mouth, and
was universally attributed to the
prayers of st. Anthony.
A twofold lesson can be learned
from it. First, that extravaganza in
dress, even in the wealthy, is dis
pleasing to God, and secondly, that
the hearing of the word OF God is GER
tain to bring down blessing.

posters, who by sly tricks or ambigu-
Gus words can satisfy the curiosity OF
everybody and anybody. Consulta-
tions with fortune-tellers, or their
more fashionable duplicates, palmfsts
and clairvoyants, for the purpose of
ascertaining the future or absolutely
hidden things, will often fall short of
mortal sin, through not being taken
seriously. And though, in spite of
my not being serious, / may still sin
by cooperating with fortune-teller,
ETC., who seriously claims occult
knowledge, yet very commonly such
practitioners are no worse than char
latans who see their way to exc out
more or less honest livelihood at
the expense of the foolishly curious.
Such in brief are the principal sins
against religion, both by defect and by
tions should be a strict allegiance to
God, such as we promised at Baptism.
We should offer to Him our undivided
worship and always maintain the high
est reverence for all that is involved
in carrying out that worship We re-
nounced the devil with all his works
and pomps. Let us not tamper with
anything that might be even distant
ly connected with him. We are chill
dren of light; flee then whatever
smacks of the dark and devious.

A COSTLY Ex-VOTo.

The Franciscan architect, Father
Valentine, a native of Worms, who
built the magnificent church dedicated
to st. Anthony, at Padua, related the
following incident, which took place
in the year 1871:
A Portuguese prince had long been
wishing for son to inherit his vast
possessions. At last. after promising
a present of a silver statue of the holy
Child to the aforementioned church,
a son was born. Filled with graft
tude, he ordered statue Of solid sill
the infant prince. Fearing, on ac-
count of the persecution of religious
houses in Italy, it might not fall into
the right hands, he forwarded it to
Rome, by a special escort, where it
was delivered over to Pope Plus TX.
His Holiness Immediately sent for
Father Valentine, ordering him to
place it in the newly erected Church
of st. Anthony, at Padua, where it is
still to be seen.
Few among the rich or learned of
this age of incredulity and unbelief,
in the pride of their hearts, place any
faith in miracles. Let us not allow
ourselves to be ranked among their
number, but rather, like those believ-
ers in the Gospel, thank God He has
given such power to men, and more
especially to His faithful servant, st.
Anthony.

PARENTAL CARE.

Keep your eye on your children s
conduct at all times, as far as possible.
Let them never be far away from
you if you can help it, and make it
your business always to know where
they are. Insist that they shall come
straight home after school, and, then,
if they want to go anywhere, let them
ask permission. St. John Chrysostom,
speaking fifteen hundred years ago,
said: People take better care of
their COWS and horses than they do of
their children!" And is it not true
today? If you have horse or a COW
you always know pretty well where
they are to be found. Can you say
the same of your children? Even at
night, when they should all be in the
house, many of you do not know
where they are. They are running
the road somewhere and learning no
good, you may depend on that. That
is criminal carelessness on the part
of the parents who permit it. The
youngsters should never be allowed
out after dark, and even with the
grownup ones, you should insist that
they should be in at e. early hour.
There must be no go-ag to bed and
leaving the doors open for them to
come in. How any father or mother
can go to sleep with an easy con-
science while their boys or girls are
out, and they don't know where they
are, is something hard to understand.

THE LAlTY SHOULD HELP IN
sTRUcT THE CONVERTS.

of the place of the laity in making
converts much has lately been writ
ten; and not too much. For as the
human frame must gradually perish if
the surface of the body be ill fed by
the little arteT IS, so must the Church's
propaganda a6e gradually enfeebled
and finally become extinct of life, if
the laity, who are the only distribu-
TORS of the truth of God in mems
homes and marts, are not BEAUTIFULLY
at work helping non-Catholics, into
the Church. But it is not of the activ-
tiles of jealous lay people for making
converts we intend here to speak.
Rather we would call attention to what
they can do when conversion has been
affected and the task of instruction for
actual reception only remains, says
the Missionary.
To illustrate our theme. Early this
summer we came across the pastor OF
q good sized city parish in the middle
west. Naturally especially as he was
an old and much esteemed friend), we
asked. him about conversions. He an
swered: During the year now
elapsed we have instructed and re-
ceiyed into the Church just seventy
converts"
But let the reader mark we'll that
every single one of our dear old
friends three score and ten converts
Of that previous twelve months had
been converted mainly by Catholic lay
people. And not a single atom of the
labor of the final preparation but had
The Catholic bulletin. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1911-1995, 1917-01-06

been borne by man or woman of the
laity. A lay friend has guided each
of them across a wasteful ocean of
miserable doubt, misgiving of the fu-
ture eternity, stormy disputes with
closest relatives, sometimes even des-
pair. And now when the harbOr OF
eternal truth and love at last is sight
ed-the pilot vanishes totally away
and his place taken by the priest.
This should not be so. 1t is a gro
tesque commentary on our Lords
words 1T is one who soweth and
another who reapeth" John iv, 36).
And yet multitudes of the laity are
perfectly competent. Without the
laity no Sunday School is possible;
yet what is taught to convert for his
reception is hardly 1.-THE of what is
usually taught little child in Sunday
School to prepare it for first Com
munion.
We do not advise that all converts
should be prepared by men and wom-
en- of the laity, for the pastor should
reserve to his own care those who
need more than a layman easily can
give them, either because they are
troubled by difficulties of more than
usual seriousness, or because their dis
positions are not beyond question. But
by far the greater number may be con-
fided to Jealous and we'll informed
members of the laity, such as are to
be had for the asking, and easily may
be organized Systematically for this
work. The case of our pastor is not
at all exceptional, thank God! Many
priests have more converts than they
can rightly manage. The harvest is
getting beyond us. Systematic aid on
the part of the laity is positively
needed if we are to cope with this
superabundance of souls seeking adj
mittance into the Church.

THREE MASSES.

The practice of celebrating three
Masses had it's origin at Rome. It.
was SO old at the beginning of the
sixth century that the Liber Pontifi-
calls, compiled at the time, referred it
to Pope Telesphorus, of the second
century. The very old Massbooks,
called the Gelasian and Gregorian
Sacramentaries, contain each three
Masses for the day. Anciently, they
were said at the time and in the order
in which they are prescribed in the
Missal, i. e., at midnight, before the
aurora, and, after sunrise. We know
that in the sixth century, and prob
ably earlier, the Pope was wont to say
these three Masses at st. Mary
Majors st. Anastasia's (whose feast
occurred that day., and at st. Peters.

A SAINT FOR THE WEEK.
ST. SIMEON sTYLITEs.

81. 4
One winters day, about the year
4O1, the snow lay thick round Sisan.
a little town in the Cilicia. A shepherd
boy, who could not lead his sheen to
the fields on account of the cold, went
to the church instead, and listened to
the eight beatitudes which were read
that morning. He asked how these
blessings were to be obtained, and
when he was told of the monastic
life, thirst for perfection arose with
in him. He became the wonder of the
world, the great st. Simeon Stylites.
He was warned perfection would cost
his death, and so it did, A mere
child, he began the monastic life, and
therein passed a dozen years in super
human austerity. He bound rope
round his waist till the flesh was putri-
fed. He ate but once in seven DAYS,
and when God led him to solitary
life, kept fasts of forty days. Thirty.
seven years he spent on the top of pill,
lars, exposed to heat and cold, day
and night adoring the majesty of God.
Cheerfulness, humility, and obedience
set their seal upon his austerities.
The words, which God put into his
mouth, brought crowds of heather
to baptism, and sinners to penance.
At last, in the year AGO, those who
watched below noticed he had been
motionless for three whole days.
They assembled, and found the old
mans body still bent in the attitude
OF prayer, but his soul was with God.
Perfection was all in all to st. Sim
con; the means nothing, except in so
far as God chose them for him. The
solitaries of Egypt were suspicious of
a life SO new and SO strange, and they
sent one ;of their number to bid ST.
Simeon come. down from his pillar and
return to the common life. In mo-
ment the Saint made ready to descend,
but the Egyptian religious was salts
fed with this proof of humility
