And holding the metaphor to a
greater length, even at price of Weari-
ness, for it is very fitting one, the
fruit you are laboring for being
strong character, it's cultivation. is as
its orchard which you have to watch
and care in order that the fruit will
be in abundance and sound And the
proper ridge is your surroundings,
your habits, and your companions;
your skilled laborers are your tenn
poral and spiritual advisors and your
own conscience.
1t is useless to attempt to acquire
character without that proper ridge
and those skilled laborers; even with
those you will have to, be ever watch
full over yourself, the places you fre-
quent, the friends you make, and
listen to the voice of God speaking
through the voice of conscience and
from the mouths of your superiors
before your life will be consonant with
all that is right and noble.

WHAT SANCTITY is.
Herald.

Some people nave about as precise
an idea of Saint as North Pole
Esquimo has of a dreadnaught. A
great many seem to think that saint
is a kind Of troublesome, annoying,
fault-finding, melancholy sort of per-
sonage, whose company is far from
being pleasant.
The reasons for this misconception
may be any or all of the following:
1. total ignorance of what the real
life of the saints is; 2. frequently the
statues and pictures of saints show
them to us in very unnatural positions,
or shock our sense of decency by their
of some devotees, who think that they
are very sanity and want to impress
others with the fact, but who in reality
resemble them about as much as a
will-o'-the-wisp in the swamp equals
the brightness of the MONDAY sun.
A real saint is far from being
gloomy or detected. On the contrary.
The peace that reigns in his heart is
reflected in his countenance He
radiates a calm, cheerful happiness
and his words bespeak the meekness
of his heart. He may be severe, but
only to himself; to all others, in &C.
cordance with the example of his
Divine Master, he is all gentleness,
goodness and mercy. This comes
from the fact that he has faithfully
copied the image of the Saviour in his
own heart. Far from repelling people
from him by a gloomy appearance, he
attracts them towards him so that he
may offer their hearts to the Lord and
unite them all with Him; for the
honor and glory of God and the saliva
ton of souls is the ideal of his whole
life.

BUILDING YOUR CHARACTER.


There appears, to many people, no
cause why the Creator should not
have orchards of ripe fruit at. their
back doors, SO that everybody, rich
and poor might feel that ali the fruit
they desired was there; and without
any task of planting the shoots, or
cultlvating, or pruning, or spraying,
pick the fruit off the tree, and pre-
serve as much as they required. But
Divine Providence does not dispense
its gifts in such manner. Certain
fruits are adapted to certain soils and
climates. You may study and toll
long and raise no fruit; you must
study and toll laboriously to raise
any.
And it is almost the same with the
upbullding of character. You, must
say to yourself: Am / willing to
study and toll as fruitgrower does /?
Have chosen the. proper ridge for.
my enterprise. and are my mules and
pillow in good condition, my nursery.

example, the nobler, higher and finer
will be ones culture.
~ For a proof of how deep with
out religion and Christianity the cul-
tivation of the good and beautiful
sinks, we need only look at our mod
ern times. In spite of many technical
triumphs, our modern literature and
art are sinking lower and lower.
The clever editor and writer Won
Grotthuss, a believing Protestant,
writes: ''The new, only-saving
naturalistic school has dethroned the
spirit and has raised the flesh in it's
stead. In fact the representatives of
butcher who-delivers the meat to his
customers on tray l confess
openly that l am still of the unmodern
opinion that it is the end and purpose
of art to elevate us above the every
day trivialities. /. . 1t is the pur-
pose of poetry to describe the spiritual
and not the corporal life of man"
(Probleme und Charakterkoepfe-
Problems and Character Heads-pp.
2O3-9.)
But because our modern art is
stepped in materialism and denies the
existence of spirit, hence its creations
are spiritless.
81 How unhappy this worship of
mere humanity makes man we can
gather from the sayings of it's
devotees. Goethe confesseS ICE
spraeche nit Eckermann Talks with
Eckermann-I. p. 76) that in his
''seventy-five years he did not have
four weeks of real qualification" and
still his life was spent under favor
able external circumstances. Schiller
complains that honors leave him cold
and unhappy, and that his incest
hopes collapse like soap bubbles Ode
Ideale-The Ideals). Alexander Won
Humboldt (f1S59), the great natur-
alist and traveller, signs: eff one
would only know wherefore one lives!
1t would have been best to have been
born shallow head"
No light, no happiness, no warmth
without Christ and Christianity! The
tree is known by it's fruit.

A PRIESTS MASS FOR HIS DEAD
PARENTS.

I'm going to offer Mass for my good
parents soul.
They are with God, hope, for they
have won their goal.
They'll meet me in the Mass when l
pronounce the word
That God obeys, but seems to unbelief
absurd.
Purest bread and wine above me far
ascend
And enter Life Divine and with its
beauties blend.
Not blend, indeed, but change for sub
stance not their own
And in disguise my God is present,
but unknown
To sense of body and to grasp of
human mind.
But in my faith in Christ, my conf
fort do find.
His word is truth, His love exhausted
ne'er can be
But strange, indeed for this, that He
has chosen me
For conscious am of many faults
and sins
And by confessing them the Holy Mass
begins.

ST. SOPHlA'S PALlMPSEST.

Travellers who have visited the
great Mohammcdan Mosque of st. So
phia in Constantinople tell of the Wis
Utility of inscriptions made in the in
terror of the building when it was a
Christian church. These had been
painted over by the Moslem conquer
ofs, but time defeated their purpose
of total effacement. Over the en-
trance is the inscription in Latin: Il
am the door; by me if any man en-
ter in, he shall be saved, and~shall so
in and out, and he shall find pasture"
The bricks in the great dome in the
interior reveal this inscription: Deus
in medic eius; non commovebftur.
Adiuvabit cam Deus vultu suo." The
translation may be found in Psalm 4 4,

A SAINT FOR THE WEEK
{. 3. IPPoLITo eALANTINl.

B. Ippolito was born in Florence,
A. d. 1865. AS child he attracted
other children to him, and taught
them the words of eternal life. Al
ready he longed to leave the world
and serve. God in religion. But this
was not to be. He was the son of a
poor silk weaver, and had to work all
day to the end Of his life. God sent
him continually most grievous sick
nesses, which at last reduced him to
perjury. Before the foundation of his
own institute he was placed at the
head of seven confraternities, and
driven from each by the ingratitude
or malice of it's members. Holy and
learned men were set against him,
and publicly denounced his labors.
After this preparation his lifes work
began-the foundation of the Congre-
cation of Christian Doctrine. This
was an institute for the instruction of
the young on all festivals. Ippolito
laid down rules for his children much
like those which, ST.. Philip Neri was
framing for his brothers of the Ora
tory in Rome. The Congregation
changed the face of Florence; and Ip-
polite was sent for by many towns to
establish his institute in their. midst.
Still his prosecutions never ceased.
An attempt was even made on his life;
and he was accused of heresy to the
Holy Office. But the servant of God
prevailed and his work was establish.
ed. He died A. d. 1919. In 1924 the
Saints institute was re-examined, and
again solennly approved by Leo XII.
B. Ippolito labored only to remove
that ignorance which is the cause of
sin, and he never lost an opportunity
of enlightening soul. The innkeeper
at Siena, with whom he was staying,
was leading a profigate life Ippolito
spoke to him of the hideousness of
his life, and notwithstanding the mans
violent abuse, ended by attaining his
conversion. Some youths whom he
had reproved in the streets for i'm
modest language fell upon him with
their sticks and left him half dead,
but the servant of God only rejoiced
to suffer for the honor of God, and he
was often known to spend sixteen con-
secutive hours in instructing an ignor-
ant or obstinate sinner.

HOW ALL CAN HELP.

Scatter your kind words broadcast.
They are the best aims you will ever
be privileged ito give to anybody.
Speaking of some one who had said a
cordial word when he was downeast,
a young man gratefully said: Gle
didn't give me money, but what he
said somehow cheered me up SO that
i went right out aud struck a job. He
couldn't put his hand in. hts pocket for
me, and SO he put his hand in his
heart, and that's far and away the
best kind of helping.

SignOgraph Permits
the Making Of Five

graph" It is something new among the
hundreds of other "graphs" being an
arrangements of pens on frame so that
the, secretary who has in the neighbor-
hool of $4,000 warrants to sign each
year, can sign them five at time. The
warrants are printed in sheets of five
and the pens are arranged on bar
which permits their being arranged at
distances to suit. The secretary grasps
the first pen and when he writes that
q John Hancock signature of his that
appears so beautiful to creditors and
employees OF the state, the whole row OF
pens gets busy and duplicates the sig
nature. The Journal man was invited to
test it but as his signature is by all
printers considered misdemeanor, he
