A SAINT FOR THE WEEK
ST. GUY OF ANDERLEcHT.

As child Guy had two loves. the
Church and the poor The love of
prayer growing more and more, he
left his poor home in Brussels to seek
greater poverty and closer union with
God. He arrived at Laeken near
Brussels, and there showed such de-
yotion before our Lady's shrine that
the priest besought him to stay and
serve the church. Theneeforth. like
another. Samuel, Guy dwelt, in the
house of the Lord, often spending
whole nights before Jesus in the
tabernacle. BY day he still found
time and means to befriend the poor,
so that his almsgiving became famous
in all those parts. A merchant of
Brussels, hearing of the generosity of
this poor sacriStan, came to Laeken
and offered him share in his bust
ness. THUS" he said, You will be
enabled to help all and to refuse
none'' Guy could not bear to leave
the church; but the offer seemed pro-
vidential, and he at last closed with
it. Their ship, however, was lost on
the first voyage; and on returning to
Laeken, Guy found his place filed
The rest of his life was one long
penance for his inconsistency. He
was twice at Rome, twice at Jerusa-
lem and for seven years visited the
chief shrines of the Saints, implor-
ing their intercession. About the
year 1893, finding his end at hand, he
returned to Anderlecht, in his coun-
try. AS he died a light shone round
him, and voice was heard proclaim-
ing his eternal reward.
While Guy was sacristan at Laeken
his great joy was to be always in the
church, sweeping the floor and cell
ing, polishing the affairs, and cleans
ing the sacred vessels. On holidays
he would wreath the altar rails with
garlands of fresh flowers, and hang
green branches here and there, SO
that the very walls might keep the
feast. And he did all with the same
recollectedness which had been re-
marked in him at this first coming.
So that men were attracted to the
service of God, not only by the beauty
of the church, but still more by the
loving reverence of him who adorned

oLD-TIME CUSTOMS.

The respect of Catholics for the
house of God and their. exact observ-
ance of pious customs is. traditional.
But the spirit of Indifference that is
today rampant seems to be exerting a
pernicious influence on the lives and
fervor of some Catholics, among whom
the old-time reverence for things
sacred is waning. While at heart they
may be loyal and sincere, the external
expression of their love and devotion
is too often lacking.
Formerly no Catholic. man would
think of passing a church without lift
ing his hat as a sign of respect to the
Blessed Sacrament. So naturally did
men show their reverence for the
Divine Presence that even those of
other beliefs became accustomed to
this loving mark of respect and
esteemed them the more for it.
But today Catholic men frequently
pass our churches without giving: the
slightest sign Of recognition. Utterly

Frances went worrying about my soul
as soon as she knew that she had my
heart. That's trick of women, isn't
it? She wanted me to study her re-
ligion.
Il couldn't see why I should, but /
didn't want to hurt her feelings, and /
simply showed off the issue, agreeing
with relief to all the conditions that
her church imposed rather than have
to study anything as alien to my in
terests as Catholicity. Somehow
Frances seemed grateful beyond rea-
son that | was going to accede to her
conditions. 1t was out of her graft
tude that she made her sacrifice for
me. We are going to live in Japan,
she told me one night when l talked
of finding the cottage in the suburbs
sShe held to the plan in spite of my
perfunctory protests. 1t was she who
drove me into making arrangements
with syndicates and magazines so that
I would be assured of a market for
my work. 1t was she who forced me
to buy steamer tickets instead of the
cottage. 1t was she who engineered
the plan from start to finish. You
may imagine that l adored her more
than ever for it.

you ever come into the heart of a
dream?" he said. Did you ever find
love, and beauty, and aspiration all in
one? Did you ever discover, in one
place, all that you had ever wanted in
all your life? Did you ever feel, after
having lived in desert, that you had
come home into land of loneliness?
That was Japan for me.
Il had the feeling, on the day we
landed at Nagaski, that I had come
home Little things that saw on the
streets, voices that I heard, all came
to me as if out of my recollection of
another existence. Something in me
deeper than aught else responded to
the association. From the very first
moment I was Japanese. And 1 was
utterly, unquestionably happy in the
realization.

FROM "THE ROBE OF CHRIST"

At the foot of the Cross on Calvary
Three soldiers sat and diced,
And one Of them was the Devil
And ne won the Robe of Christ.
When the Devil comes in his proper
form
To the chamber where I dwell,
/ know him and make the Sign of the
Cross,
Which drives him back to hell.
/ saw him through thousand wells,
And has not this sufficed
Now, must I look on the Devil robed
In the radiant Robe of Christ?
He comes, and his face is sad and mild
With thorns his head is crowned,
There are great bleeding wounds in
his feet
And in each hand a wound.
How can tell, who am a fool,
If this be Christ or not?
Those bleeding hands eutstretched tc
me!
Those eyes that love me so!
| see the Robe-I look-I hope
fear-but there is one
Who will direct my troubled mind:
Christ's Mother knows her Son.
o Mother of Good Counsel, lend
Intelligence to me!
Encompass me with wisdom,
Thou Tower of Ivory!
This is the Man of Lies" she says
Disguised with fearful art;
He has the wounded hands and feet,
/ But not the wounded heart z
Beside the Cross on Calvary
She watched them as they diced.s
She saw the Devil join the game
And win the, Robe of Christ.

A MOTHERS LOVE.

The most beautiful thing in life is a
mothers love. 1t begins with stitches
on q tiny garment and it outlasts the
grave. Some mothers may be unkind,
but rarely. These are the exceptions.
The love that the mother bears for her
son follows him through babyhood,
school days, young manhood and faith
erhood, through all his successes and
defeats. In honor or disgrace, it utter
ly owns him. A stain can never attach
itself to him; for always it is he who
is wronged by the world. To his
mother he can confidently turn On any
occasion under any circumstances. In
her he finds always the same tender
parent who sought dawning light In
his baby face, and the secret Of his
greatness has lain hidden in her heart
as she has pondered over it's promise.
FAIL for she sees its fruition beyond
the end of life ITSELF The mother OF
the condemned criminal with the hal.
ter about his neck knows he is pure
knows he is innocent, knows he has
never in his life told her lie. 1t
is not blindness; it is revelation, pro
phetic of something not yet attained
in racial development. "
The mother has this power of vision
She can see in shapeless bit of life
the, lives of an amending succession OF
men. She has also the strength OF
faith that is unshakable. 1t ap
proaches the divine. If heaven may
be found at all on earth it is in the
heart of mother. There is no life a
woman will not live, no death she
will not die for her children. She
makes a home what it is and, while
maintaining unbrolxen relations with
| the home she loves, builds a family
circle of her own. In all the complex
relationships of life she nobly bears
her part. Mans life may be diverse
and all-absorbing and difficult, but il
is as nothing to the experience of the
mother who has borne and laid away
and lived all that life has to offer.

AN INDULGENCE OF SEVEN
YEARS.

We have been asked the meaning OF
this and similar terms found in the
various grants of indulgences The fol
lowing explanations are found in Maui
rels standard work on indulgences:
In thus granting an Indulgence OF
certain defined number of days
weeks or years, the Holy See does not
thereby intend a corresponding
abridgment of the pains of purgatory
Such phraseology has reference mere
ly to the penance enjoined by the an
cient rules or canons of the Church
All are agreed in this Wherefore an
indulgence of a hundred days or a
year, for example, is the remission OF
as much temporal punishment as
would have been formerly atoned for,
before God, by canonical penance OF
a hundred days or a year. Hence it
would be useless to try to ascertain
the amount of purgatorial sufferings
redeemed or RENTED by such a
penance. God alone knows this, and
we accordingly ought to leave it to
His infinite mercy.
ITO indulgences of years in length,
the Holy Father often adds an equal
number of guarantees. The quaran-
tines have reference to the Lenten
fast. Accordingly, an Indulgence of
seven years and as many guarantees,
e. g., means the remission of a tenn
poral penalty corresponding to seven
years of canonical penance, joined to
the special austerities of seven Lents. -
Ordinary Christians do not trouble
themselves about the precise meaning
of such terms as we have explained
and so you will probably find few
Catholics who can at once give an
explanation when requested. At the
same time there is no possibility to
the Catholic of any such misunder-
standing as that the grant means any
license for the term mentioned. That
would be inconsistent, as every Cath
Ollie understands, with the gaining of
an indulgence at ALL The faithful
know the indulgence to mean a re-
mission of part of the temporal suf-
fering due for sin, and that knowledge
is sufficient to inspire zeal to fulfill
the conditions required for these
favors.

quickly as ! did. For little time she
seemed almost frightened by my joy
BUSINESS of appreciation. After a lit
tie, though, she accepted my belief
with tolerant amusement. 1t was her
gift of adaptability that made possible
our happiness together. She herself
never assimilated the feeling Of Nip
pom. She was always alien, but she
managed to keep me happy in my own
illusions. She made her own life, too,
when we settled in Tokyo. She found
her friends in the foreign quarters
there, as / found mine among the ma
tives. 1t was due to her that my work
found the market it did back in the
United States. She was the one who
wrote to publishers and agents, who
managed our banking and our house
hold arrangements. She was one of
those remarkable American girls who
need only opportunity to develop into
efficient, capable women of the world.
You may think" he parenthesized his
panegyric-' that I'm talking too much
of my wife. I couldn't.
IF we had stayed in Tokyo, we
should, fancy, have drifted apart in
the gradual way of people who have
no common supernatural bond. We
were heading that way, becoming very
excellent friends, when l felt that my
work called me to Kasuh. Do you
know Kasuki, the little mountain vii
lage of the Thousand Gods? 1t is, they
say, the most beautiful place in the
world. l thought it was when we went
there. Never had I been so contented
with life as was on the day when we
entered our own house in the shadow
of the great temple.
do you believe that there are
haunting influences that leave their
spell on house? l have come to be-
lieve that There was something, |
know, under the roof of that house,
that entered into our souls when we
took up our abode. For my own part,
felt it in a quickened inspiration to
work that set me producing such pic
lures as | had never believed myself
capable of making. So engrossed was
I in my own emotions, my own inten-
sity of being Japanese-for had come
to the place where l believed that 1
was one of the people among whom I
lived-that | paid little heed to Fran
ces.
"Only the sight of a Catholic mis-
sionary on the road one day reminded
me that she no longer went to church.

teries and uttering word of thanks
giving for the graces given them by
the lncarnate God.
Again the time-honored custom OF
bowling the head at the name of Jesus
appears to be passing. And yet this
is one of the most glorious customs
that centuries of devotion has given
us.
But today vast congregations otter
give scant, if any, sign of reverence
when the name of Jesus is mentioned
even in places hallowed by His
Presence.
Why this apparent coldness? Why
this seeming apathy toward the most
sacred practices? Is it that we nc
longer care to preserve the pious
usages of the bright ages of faith
Or is the spirit of modern indifference
creeping gradually into the lives OF
some Of our Catholics?
This apparent lack of devotion is
due to thoughtlessness which pro
duces a bad effect upon Catholics and
the outside world. From Catholics
most particularly are expected all
those external manifestations of de
votion that their religion calls for
When they are present they afford
abundant edifcation, but when absent
they beget surprise and classification
Every Catholic should take a pride
in keeping alive the oldtime customs
in showing clearly and Enthusiastically
that the beautiful practices of past
years are yet alive and vigorous
among the people. Neither thought
lessness, business nor human respect
should deter him from lifting his hat
on passing the sanctuary of the Most
High. Indifference is utterly foreign
to the spirit of faith.
Catholic congregations should never
forget to bow the head at the mention
of the Holy Name. 1t is an act of
faith. 1t imports an act of loving re-
memhrance. And if God demands
from His people internal love and
gratitude. faithful people will be
quick to respond with external mani
festations.

High thoughts were filling thei
bosoms
With feelings akin to awe.
Said she: My children, tell us
OF the Holy Spirits touch,
What. would We do for the Master
Who loveth us all so much?"
Then the glorious eyes of Constance
Flashed back her full hearts fire.
ooh! Mother, if truly could we
Be what our hearts desire,
I would wish to be more than Seraph
In love!-in love divine!
l would dare to wish, for His honor,
AS a glorious light to shine!
To shine through the earth's sad path
ways,
To burn in the human breast,
To fill the world with His love,-His
love!
Fen little-He'd do the reGt!"
Child" said the tender Mother,
only the humble may shine;
Rare and costly the gems that hide
In the deepest depths of the mine.
The raving blast may extinguish
The brightest, steadiest light,
And woe is the bitter darkness
Of the terrible desolate night"
Then her eye sought the gentle fea
lures
OF the novice Antoinette.
What is the thought of your sister?
She has not spoken yet
The blue-gray eyes were lifted,
Deep musings haunted there,
And the face was the face of an ange
Disturbed from adoring prayer.
My sister Constance has chosen
So grandly noble part,
IT'S truly fitting mission
For her lofty, generous heart!
I''-and the eyes dropped quickly
To the grass and tender leaves
Il, like a sweet wood violet,
Would be but an odor that breathes,
CLOSE to His feet, l should murmur
All day long my prayer,
And the sweetness He shoWered upon
me
Would spread far off from there;
| should not dare to leave Him,
I'd surely falter and die,
But the fragrance would gather others
To love Him better than T."
Silence fell on the cluster
Of white-veiled maidens there;
The Vesper bell was Ginning,
And they softly glided to prayer,
But each was bordering deeply,
Down in her inner heart,
"A Light that shines!" "An Odor that
breathes!"
Which is the higher part?

THE TWO NoVIcEs.
San Francisco Examiner.

In the shade of the Convent gardens,
At the foot of our Lady's Shrine,
Sat cluster of white-veiled maidens
Waiting the Vesper chime.
The wealth of the golden summer
Lay on the painting earth
Sunshine, and bursting flowers,
And birds with songs of mirth.
Like doves, with folded pinions,
They sat in the peaceful shade;
Music was murmuring near them
Where the ripping fountain played,
Their young souls brimmed with glad
ness
That boon to the pure heart given
And their far-off looks were telling
Their thoughts were resting in
Heaven!
Close to the fountains margin
Two faces, wondrousIy fair,
Lay on the silver waters,
Mirrored perfectly there;
Alike in the wistful glances
That upward were ever set,
But still most strikingly different
Constance and Antoinette!
Slender and tall and stately
The novice Constance moved.
A queen, unconscious of beauty,
In that peaceful solitude;
The deep, bright eyes were shining
{. With the great heart speaking there,
And the light on the perfect features
Lifted ones soul to prayer!
Pale and fragile and childlike
Was her sister, Antoinette.
One rarely saw the gray eyes
Meath the long brown lashes set;
But the crimson waves passing over
The delicate features told
The love that had brought her hither
Was more than her heart could hold
Today they sat at the fountain,
And the Mother-mistres saw
