work for Thee;
My road is Marked | know to Thee

Because l feel Thy guarding Love
for me!
But I am weak before the fires of pain,
And little hurts with me most griev-
Gus grow;
l would that | were of nobler strain,
And calm beneath the trifiing
wounds I know.

speech;

Thou dost give;
see the height which Thou wouldst
have me reach,
And worthy of Thy love I want to
live!
Shape Thou my will in harmony with
Thine;
If what l seek be not the best for
me,
Content am l it never should be mine,
Deny me all, but keep me close to
Thee.

GOOD AND BAD CATHOLICS.

Here is what a convert has to say

Converts who expect to find all
Catholics holy, or even good Chris
tians, are certain to be disillusioned.
have known many disedifying Catho-
lies and had a part in some tragedies
of lost vocations. But I can say that
the absolute truth of all that the Cath
Ollie Church (authoritatively) believes
and teaches and the vast prepOnder-
ance of sanctity among her members,
is burned into my consciousness in
characters of fire that can never be
eradicated. After twelve years | more

which is not directly traceable to the
absence of Catholic truth"

THE VIRGINS SOLlLOQUY.

1t is enough to bear
This image still and fair;
This Holier in sleep
Than saint at prayer;
This aspect of a Child
Who never sinned, or smiled;
This Presence in an Infants face;
This Sadness most like love,
This Love than love more deep,
This meekness like omnipotence-
1t is so strong to move.
Awful is this watching place;
Awful what | see from hence
A King without regalia,
A God without the thunder,
A Child, without the heart Of play;
Aye, a Creator rent asunder
From his first glory, and cast away
On his own wOrld-for me alone
To hold in hands, created, cryine

PROFANITY AMONG AMERICANS.

Text: Swear not at ALL" Matt.
$50.
Reverence is not a leading charac-
teristic of the United States or of the
twentieth century. Profanity is our
national sin. An American traveller in
Russia was asked if he were a clergy
man. He replied mo" and inquired
why" The Russian said: Il thought
you must be, because all other Ameri-
cans swear.
Speech distinguishes man from the
brute creation, yet it is the same
speech that embrutes us. We swear
profanely, continuously and unblush-
ingly. Gods name is kicked about
like a football, Christ is cursed, the
Bible blasphemed. Heaven hooted
and hell made hotel to which we in
vite everybody to take up lodgings.
While Socrates swore, by the dog, >
the Turks, by Allah the Romans,
Prob Jupiter" and the French say,
Mon Dieu," and the Germans, Zach
Gott," we damn" everybody and
everything of masculine, feminine and
neuter gender.
Americans damn it" by the day
and night, when it is hot or cold and
wet or dry; damn" their breakfast,
paper, street car, auto, clerk and
stenographer. The politician damns
the government and everybody in it
from the president to the dog catcher;
hi1lio nd Golf
races, ball, wrestling and boxing
bouts; the clerk damns his employer
and the employer damns his clerk;
the citizens damn the mayor and the
streets, the ashman and the rough
roads; the traveller damns the boat,
the train, the hotel, the people, the
scenery, the nation and every other
nation. From farm, village, city,
state, country, world, air and aero
plane, land and mine, sea and sub
marine, a great blast of profanity
floats the face of Him Who says:
Thou shalt not take the name of the
Lord thy God in vain.
There are laws against profane
swearing, just as there are statutes
against theft, murder and arson, yet
there are not pious people enough to
enforce them. If an attack is made
on a man, have him arrested. If the
insult is offered God, it doesn't seem
to make much difference.
Sometimes the profane swearer is a
man of education, society, money and
Efamilya generous-handed and good
hearted fellow who swears thought
lessly with no intention Of wrong ol

THE HOLY NAME OF JESUS.

Blessed be the Name of Jesus,
Jehovah, helper, Saviour, King;
Once announced by radiant angel
To Maiden-Mary, wondering.
Blessed be the Name of Jesus,
For no other Name is given;
Under Heaven, for mans salvation,
Sorrowing souls by it forgiven.
The enemy of souls pursues US,
AS we falter on the way
Calling on the Name of Jesus,
Sin and death, release their prey.
A mighty tower is His Name,
He the Rock, and sure foundation;
In that fortress we are safe,
In that shelter, our salvation.
Blessed be Thy Name, o Jesus,
Worthy of all alteration!
Yelled angels bow before Thee,
Earth and Heaven with all creation
Loudly sing in sweet accord,
Holy, holy, holy Lord

THE MARCH OF THE HOLY NAME

A burst of melody sounds in the air,
Banners are waving high,
And the sound Of many passing feet
AS the throng goes marching by;
All! now we see with our hearts
afame,
IT'S the march of the men of the
Holy Name!
o soldiers Of Christ, ye loyal and
true,
Praise to We loud and long.
Ages of heroes yet unborn
Shall swell your triumphant song.
Ye have sworn to honour the King Of
kings.
Before whom the angels fold their
wings
And the trembling pillars Of heaven
proclaim:
Hail. all hail, to the Holy Name!
A Holy Name that we learned to love
And lisp at our mothers knee,

above
To burn in our hearts for Thee!
To gain the crown, to win the prize,
We will live without sin or shame.
For no other name beneath the skies
Can save but the Holy Name!
Oh! send forth children in earliest
youth,
From valley and hill and plain;
Oh. sound the glad tidings of beauty
and truth
OF the love Of the Holy Name!
And when death and it's terrors are
lowering near,
Hear us, sweet Lord, again;
We have lived to adore and we die
without fear
Through the love of Thy Holy
Name!

WHY WOMEN ARE MORE RELIC
IoUS THAN MEN.

The real reason why women are
more religious than men today is be-
cause they are more human than men,
1t is not by nature that they are so.
Social conditions have made them so.
AS we have divided the labor of the
world between the sexes, the work of
men is almost entirely concerned with
the production and distribution of
things; the work of women almost en-

Some twenty or more clergymen from

as to the noble work and life of the

GERMANS BURN
TOWNS BEHIND
PRESENT LINES

NEW YORK, May 18.-(Compiled by
the Associated Press from European
cables during the day.)-With all of
Bullecourt in British hands today, the
whole of the DrOcourt-Queant line,
recognized key to the vast Lens coal
region in northern France, appears
doomed The capture of Bullecourt
puts the British to point within two
miles of Qeant, while their heavy guns
already practically enclrcie the town.
This fact taken in connection with the
information that the Germans are
burning many villages behind theil,
lines gives color to reports that Won
Eindenburg is contemplating another
strategic retreat on the French front.
The Germans continue their attacks
along the line held by the French, but
Paris reports a series of German as
saults last night near Craonne were
repulsed.
have halted the Italian offensive, but
the Italians are holding tenaciously to
the positions recently gained by them.
That Great Britain is at last ear
nestly at work to eradicate submarine
attacks is reflected in the statement
that Japanese warships have arrived
in European waters to aid in the cam
paign against u-boats. The presence
of this craft reflects also the cordiality
! CT understanding which exists between
Japan and other Entente nations, and
actually puts United States and Japan
ese naval forces into active co-opera-
tion in the war against Germany, thus
effectually dissipating all fear of Ger
nam Acknowledgements intrigue against
the United States.

READ Of RUSSIAN
CABINET PLEASED
WITH SITUATION

PETROGRAD May 1S.-The forma-
tion of cabinet in which six social
lists are included has been completed,
and the Russian provisional govern
ment stands today upon a more firm
foundation than even the Romanoft
autocracy rested during the declining
years of it's authority.
The coalition premier, Prince Lvoff,
who has been one of the outstanding
figures of the present Russian revolu-
tionary movement since its inception.
told the correspondent of the Asso-
ciated Press to transmit to the Ameri-
can people his satisfaction over the
solution of the cabinet crisis, and to
express to the world his confidence in
the future of the Russian nation and
their existing government.
He said: 1T is my impression the
new coalition cabipet will receive the
hearty support of all reasonable Rus
sian people, and now for the first time
we have prospect of government which
will combine both moral and material
power.
AS result of meetin in Petrograd
of the commanders-in-chie from ali
the fronts, except the Caucasus, Gems.
Brussiloff and Gurko have withdrawn
their designations and reports of fur
s., ther designations are refuted by the
definite announcement that all the COM
manders have decided to, remain at
their posts. Thus the crisis in the army
which formed an alarming accompani-
ment to the political crisis has been
averted.
Discussing with the temporary gov
nent the serious condition of affairs
at the front the commanders declared
that the unfortunate phrase, Peace
without annexations," had found its
wav into the army and was there trans
lated into an argument against Of
fensive warfare This and other harm
fUl doctrines pervading the army and
the inability of the officers satisfacto-
rily to explain them, had ruined dis
cipline and destroyed the authority and
prestige of the officers. The discord
in Petrograd had naturally found an
echo everywhere at the front, but the
Tirit of the soldiers is slowly recoy-
ering, and the power of the Russian
army is by no means lost.
