THE SCHOOL OF SORROW.


i sat in the school of sorrow
The Master was teaching there;
But my eyes were dim with weeping
And my heart was full of care.
Instead of looking upward
And seeing His face Divine,
So full of the tenderest pity .
For weary hearts like mine,
l only thought of the burdens,
The cross that before me lay,
So hard and heavy to carry,
That it darkened the light of day.
So, l could not learn my lesson,
And say, Thy will be DONE"
And the Master came not near me
AS the weary hours went on. -
At last, in my weary sorrow,
| looked upon the cross above;
And saw the Master watching
With a glance of tender love.
He turned to the cross before me
/ And l thought | heard Him say:
;fMy child thou must bear thy burden
And learn thy task today.
q may not tell the reason, ....
'Tis enough for thee to know
That |, the Master, am teaching,
And give this cup Of Woe"
So l stopped to that weary sorrow
One look at that face Divine
Had given me power to trust him,
And say, THY will, not NINE"
And thus l learnt my lesson
Taught by the Master alone;
He only knows the tears / shed,
But He has Wept His own.
And from them comes a brightness
Straight from the Home above,
Where the school of life will be ended
And the cross will show His love.

GODS LOVE THE ANSWER.

In his Meditation for Layfolk,"
the Rev Bede Jarrett, o. P, says that
cit has been made a taunt against the
Catholic Church that she has" made
christianity nothing else than the re-
ligion OF the CrucifiX,"i and in a sense,
continues Father Jarrett, this is per-
;fectly true. Our thoughts move more
Swiftly to the Passion, because, IN a
quite definite sense, the Passion is of
more value in itself to us than the
rest of the crowded moments of Our
.Saviour's life on earth. Why is this
true? The learned Dominican answers
lin the following passages, the truths
of which we should all bring home to
ourselves.
Because it is through the Passion
that we have been redeemed. But,
surely, we make answer, He could
have redeemed us without any of that
agony? He had no need to die, since
every single action of His life could
have made atonement for the sins Of
all the world Yes, truly, He had no
need to suffer: we could, of course,
have been saved by the simple decree
of His divine will. There is but one
answer to all this questioning as to
why He died There is but one word
that can explain the tenderness Of
/ the ,Crucified; God SO Loved the
| world, Christ also hath loved us;
/ having loved His sewF who were in
the weEldy-I lie loved. thena.ta. tia. eRd,..
greater love than this no man hath
than that he lay down his own life

A SAINT FOR THE WEEK.
ST. GREGORY NAzIANzEN.

Gregory was born of sanity parents,
and was the chosen friend of ST. Basil
They studied together at Athens,
turned at the same time from the fair
est worldly prospects, and for some
years lived together in seclusion, self
discipline, and toll. Gregory was
raised, almost by force, to the priest
hood; and was in time made Bishop
of Nazianzum by St. Basil, who had
become Archbishop Of Caesarea.
When he was fifty years old he was
chosen, for his rare gifts and his con-
ciliatory disposition, to be Patriarch
of !Constantinople, then distracted and
laid waste by Arian and other here
tics. In that city he labored with
wonderful success. st. Jerome boasts
that he had there sat at his feet, and
calls him his master and his cate
chist in Holy Scripture. But his low
Illness, his austerities, the insignif-
canoe OF his person, and, above all,
his very success, drew down on him
| the hatred of the enemies OF his
Faith. He was prosecuted by the
magistrates, stoned by the rabble, and
thWarted and deserted even by his
brother bishops. During the second
| General Council he resigned his See,
hoping thus to restore peace to the
tormented city, and retired to his ma
| tive town, where he died A. D. 800.
He was graceful poet, a preacher
at once eloquent and solid and as a
champion Of the Faith so well
| equipped, SO strenuous, and so exact,
that he is called ST. Gregory the
| TheOlogian.
| The Arians were SO irritated at the
| decay Of their heresy that they pur-
sued the Saint with outrage, calumny,
and violence, and at length resolved
to take away his life. For this pur-
pose they chose a resolute young man,
| who readily undertook the sacrilegious
| commission. But God did not allow
| him to carry it out. He was touched
with remorse, and cast himself at the
Saints feet, avOwing his sinful intent
| st. Gregory at once fOrgaVe him
| treated him with all kindness, and re,
ceived him amongst his friends, to
] the wonder and edifcation OF the
! whole city, and to the confusion OF
| the hereticS, whose crime had served
! only as a foil to the virtue of the
1 Saint.

TIME FOR PRAYER.

Even in the midst Of war it is pos
sible for a people to observe sens
sible calm. There is no need or sense
in getting excited. There is a phase
in human expression that is character
lied lin America by the term "slop-
ming over'' 1t describes the condition
Of mind Of those who are honestly
oyerwrought by excess OF their own
feelings or are trying to work on the
feelings of, others. Some people can
pull crisis" out Of their pockets like
the conjurer extracts the rabbit.
In times. like the present there is
virtue in keeping cool. The singu-
lar men who seek the bubble reputa-
ton at the lannon's breech and not,
like Shakespeare man, at the mouth,
must needs both saw and split the
air with gestures that conform or may
not conform with their vociferous eX-
carnations. Hotspur was an excellent
soldier but rash and fell victim to
the cooler sword of that warrior
whose memorable words are: In
peace there's nothing so becomes q
man as modest worth and sweet hui
mility."
This suggests solemn duty on
those who form the public opinion of
America. Factors which cannot be
explained or traced create men and
women who influence the opinions Of
their fellow men. The remaining
boast of democracy is that if it cam
not give equality of power it does
guarantee equality Of liberty. Public
opinion is formed by those who think
most forcefully, sometimes by those
who express their views most as
sertively and most frequently. A very
few do the worlds thinking, The
great numerical rest is guided by any
one who has the dominating power to
drive his opinion home. 1t is given
to only a select few to recognize their
own limitations. Never before in our
history was there more solemn obi
cation laid on the molders of public
opinion.
This is no time for playing on the
feeling or prejudices of a people. We
have a tremendous responsibility and
God will demand a reckoning from us
as a nation. It is no time for brag
or buster but an hour when the mind,
and heart of every true patriot will
turn TO God for light to see the way
and for strength to follow the light.
We may we'll recall the answer of
Abraham Lincoln to the visitor who
suggested during the civil war that
we pray God be on our side: 'Rath-
err let us pray that we be on Gods
side"

RABBI LECTURES ON OUR LORD.

DIR. II. G. Enelow, Rabbi Of the
Temple Emmanuel, New York City,
delivered during the winter a course
of lectures on The Relation of Jesus
to the Jews Jewish interest in
Jesus should be aroused DR.. tEneloW
argued, by the fact that Jesus was
a Jew.
1T must mean something to the
Jews" he said, that Jew should
have had such incalculable influence
in the religious life of the human
race Whether Jesus was original or
not, whether He was right Or wrong,
the fact of His influence and the fact
that He was Jew cannot be ignored.
Modern Jews cannot shut themselves
in the silence of the centuries. What
do we think of Jesus? Be our answer
to the question what it may, we ought
to formulate an answer. The object
of this lecture course is to make some
contribution to those who want to
make an intelligent answer to the
question"
The fact that such a series of lee
lures should have been delivered in
New York by Jewish Rabbi and that
the lecture-hall was filled with He
brew listeners, is one of the straws
upon the surface of current Jewish
thought to indicate that the old-time
hatred and detestation of the NaZa-
rene, as the Jews of old called Our
Blessed Lord, is giving place to adj
miration and pride in One Whom they
are now Boosting was a Jew. May it
not be the entering wedge of Divine
Providence bursting through the wall
of Jewish prejudice and preparing the
way for the entrance into the Jewish
mind of the happy discovery that
after all Jesus was the Messias and
the Divine Saviour not only of the
Gentle, but of the Jew?

PREJUDICE.

Easy to create, it is hard to de-
stroy. Sinister of wit, it is weak of
wisdom. It's perceptions are false. 1t
sees in the darkness; it is blind in
the light. 1t nurtures lies and re-
jects truth. Breeding hatred, it blasts
sympathy. 1t rules those who give it
life. 1t is conjured Frankenstein,
dominating millions of men. !, It sits
beside the gates Of life and takes toll
of all that pass.

The newspaper has. become a veri-
table necessity, an indisputable por-
ton of our daily bread. 1t is with the
intellectual food as it is with the ma
terial food Our bodily health is de-
pendent upon the quality of our nour-

lected in conformity with the laws of
hygiene. In like manner the more
precious health of our soul is deeply
affected by the salutary or deleterious
influence of whatever constitutes our
habitual reading, that ''pabulum' of

ANGELS.

God hath sent His angels
To the earth again,
Bringing joyful tidings
To the sons Of men.
They who first at Christmas
Thropged the heavenly way,
Now beside the tomb door
Sit on Easter day.
Angels, sing His triumph
AS you sang His birth.
Christ the Lord is risen,
Peace, good will on earth"
In the dreadful desert
Where the Lord was tried,
There the faithful angels
Gathered at His side.
And when in the garden,
- Grief and pain and care
Bowed Him down with anguish,
They were with Him there.
Yet the Christ they honor
Is the same Christ still,
Who,'in light and darkness,
Did His. fathers will.
And the tomb, deserted,
Shineth like the sky,
Since He passed out from it
Into victory.
God has still His angels
Helping, at His word,
All His faithful children
Like their faithful Lord.
Soothing them in sorrow,
eArmings them in strife,
Opening wide the tomb doors
Leading into life o
Father, send Thine angels
Unto us, we pray"
Leave us not to wander
All along our way.
Let them guard and guide us
Whereso'er we be,
Till our resurrection
Brings us home to Thee.

sacred union. What children's hours
our churches witness when the little
ones snuggle to the Eucharistic en-
brace of the Children's Friend. Can
they be but better and purer and more
childlike? And is not the Kingdom
of Heaven of such?
What source of strength to the
just to be more just, to the sinner to
rise anew. No number of Social Wei
fare Leagues can accomplish SO much
for the reform of the erring as one
Holy Communion. The individual can
not be reformed by police regulation
any more than the state can by legis-

TO THE HEART OF JESUS.

o Pleading Heart of Jesus!
Thy wound is opened wide again;
The nations, see! are piercing Thee
AS flows the blood of slaughtered men.
The primal passions loose are set;
Fierce spirits stalk around our earth
Plunged in such woe as never yet
She mourned, since her eXultant birth.
Sweet Christ! unto the Father
Still raise for us Thy wounded hands:
Alas! we know in our deep woe
We have not needed His commands.
Thy Heart was broken on the Cross;
And loud and strong Thy bitter cry,
Foreseeing sin and pain and loss
To souls bought dear on Calvary
o Pleading Heart, love-wounded,
The sad world kneels in hope to Thee;
In our distress lean down to bless,
Uplift us from our misery.
Forget the thorny crown we gave;
Invest us with Thy burning rays;
And love shall conquer, Thou shalt
save,
And peace shall glorify our days!
O Glorious Heart of Jesus.
Amid the burning Seraphim,
Thy Heaven of rest the Father s
breast,
Pledge Thou our lives and loves to
Him.
Thy Kingdom come" in hearts of
men;
Thy Standard float the nations DER;
Thy Peace triumphant reign again
AS at Thy Birth forevermore!

The more the public sees of the
Republican Glibustcr to force a
pccial session, the meaucr it
looks. 1t is vastly partisan. Ii
wisdom and patriotism rested
with the Republican congress
sjonaI leaders, there would be some
Justice in the hlibuster. But the
Republican congressional leaders
aGc Il rather socdy lot; as between
them aud the president, the con
tract is rather dubious. They
have failed ON his weakest points.
Nud thciY contest with him is a
pot and kettle controversy.
Low tide in our national
straightrorwardncSs is marked 10y
this miserable scramble for parti
san advantage in a grave national
crisis. And ON the whole, the
national will turn rather to the
president for leadership than to
those who are pickering with him
for partisan advantage.
