MARYs REAL SIN.


From life of regularity in going
to confession weekly, Mary Morgan
grew accustomed to count her sins on
the fingers en- one hand, and these sins
were as punctual as her confessions
were regular. None of them was
very serious; they were chiefly the
little provocations and omissions of
a busy housewife.
Mary Morgan never confessed her
real sin. Poor woman she never
realized what it was; and yet it had
driven Tom Morgan to drink. 1t
characterized the Morgan home. Mrs.
Morgan was good enough wife, but
an unpleasant woman. Her voice
had become habitually querulous and
her face picture of sour self
righteousness.
Sitting one day in the woodshed for
his after dinner smoke, Tom Morgan
wondered how he came to marry her.
But in the courtship days he could do
nothing to displease her. If he was
a trifie awkward, she smiled. If he
was late for visit, she accepted
pleasantly his excuse of extra work
at the shop. If he arranged little
treat like going to concert, she
was full of appreciation. But now
Tom never did anything right And
he was always in the way. His home
coming was the signal for tiff or a
scold or fit of brooding silence. The
household meals were staged for fam
lily ill-feelings.
So Tom absented himself from
home, and the two older boys spent
their evenings elsewhere. Tom met
companions that were not helpful.
Tom contributed less of his wages to
the house and Toms wages were later
cut down because alcohol does not
add to efficiency.
Mrs. Morgan continues to go to
confession every week and her five
little sins are regularly detailed. But
she never tells of her nagging or VIC
lent scolding, although these go on
from morning till night; and the Nor
gan home is going down steadily, and
her marriage is, in consequence, a
failure; although, as yet, an un-
divorced failure.

cRITIcIzINe THE PRIEST.


Why is it that some Catholics will
rather criticize the priest than pray
for him? To this question the follow
ing excellent answer is given:
Reverence for the priestly Office
and for the priest is an Unborn instinct
in real Catholics. In some of the
saints this reverence has been sc
great that they never dared to receive
the Sacrament of Holy Orders. Fran
els of Assist, genius of sanctity
declared himself unworthy of so great
an honor. The Council OF Trent says
that nowhere. on earth may be found
a power equal to the power possessed
by the humblest priest of consecrat
ing the. Body of Christ and of remit
ting sins.
And yet A
Father So-and-So is stuck up, OF
Father So-and-So makes himself toe
common. Or he's too friendly, OF
he's too cold, or he mixes too much
with the people, or he's never seer
outside the rectory."

Poor man! his creditors talk a gooi

doing in the parish beyond the

He's too strict in the box. or he
never says word to you in the box

little thoughtless. At their entrance
into this world some good priest was
waiting to make them children of God,
heirs of heaven, by administering the
Sacrament of Baptism. Later in life
priest was anxious to nourish them
with the Bread of Angels. Perhaps
like the Good Shepherd he brought
them back when they had strayed far
off into the desert of sin. And when
death draws near all the horror of
its coming will be lost, please God, in
the consoling presence of a priest at
their side. They forgot this-those
critics of the priest
And they forgot that when sorrow
comes to the priest, like the Master,
SO His disciple, the priest, is alone
in his agony. He has renounced all
that the world values. No human
love is there to tighten his burden
He has given up all to take on
Christ, to be man consecrated to the
work of helping others, doubly con-
secrated to God. He does not COM
plain-he wishes to be like his Mas
ter-but he is only human, and the
trial is often bitter. The world can
give him nothing-not love, not even
a home. Few of the many human in
terests with which other men may
lawfully engage themselves are open
to him. He is a man apart And
he knows that when he dies, he will
in all probability be very quickly for
gotten by those for whom he has
given his life, unmourned, very often
unprayed for.
Oh, it is easy to criticize Gods
ministers, and many there are to
throw stones. But how many Catho-
lies ever pray for their priests that
God may give them the graces they
need? Do you ever offer Communion
for them? Did you ever in all your
life make a Novena for the priests of
your parish?
Don't criticize your priests. Say
a prayer for them now and then in
stead.

AT THE eleventh HOUR.

Frederick Soulle, the celebrated
French novelist, was dying. He had
been brought up without any religious
training and had never learned a
word of prayer. The unhappy man
was not thinking of his soul. A Sis
ter of Charity, who had come to nurse
him, was kneeling at the foot of his
bed, saying her rosary with all her
heart. Tears were in her eyes and
slowly rolled down her cheeks. The
dying man lifted his head.
What are you saying there, Sister?
Our Father, who art in heaven. That
is. very nice. Say it again for mel"
And the good Sister began again.
why, that is grand. I wish to
learn it from you.
And as a child learns his prayers
from the lips of his mother, so the
novelist on his deathbed learned word
by word the Lords Prayer from the
lips of an angel of charity, whose
prayers had touched the Heart of God.
This man had blasphemed and had
done his best to hinder the kingdom
of God on earth. But now he repeated
touchingly: 'Hallowed be Thy name,
Thy kingdom comet" He died in the
peace of repentance after being recon.
ciled with God and murmuring these
strong and comforting words.

APoLoGIZING FOR SUICIDE.

1t is melancholy sign of the times
that we cannot pick up a morning
paper these days, without finding the
record of some case of self-inf1icted
death. But that sad fact is not so dis
quoting to the conscientious and
thoughtful citizen as the growing
tendency, which we see evidence of
every day, to consider suicide as a
not unworthy manner of ending the
troubles of everyday existence. The
youth of many self-inficted murderers,
too, whose life history is usually told
in all the bold realism of the daily
news, deepens the sense of tragedy
and throws lurid light on the edu-
cation that gives so false an idea to
our young people of the tremendous
moral responsibility imposed with the
very gift of our existence.
The Nervousness OF such a crime
against the Author Of life is no longer
regarded as it was in our fathers day.
In no other particular does the deca-
dence of our modern neo-paganism OBJ
trude itself upon the attention of those
who have not wholly lost the old-time
Christian ideals and their grasp of
fundamental Christian truths more
than in this ugly tendency to condone
the GROWING cowardice of the sui
cide's death.
In the futile literature" of our
times; in the so-called "best sellers
we are presented with the idea of sui
eide as no longer repugnant to former
standards of right and wrong, but
rather, in certain cases, as praise
worthy Or heroic. We are therefore
obliged to take decided stand against
this recrudescence of ancient pagan
views of life and it's responsibilities.
Although in popular novel or in ap-
plauded theatrical representation the
cowardice of suicide be CLOSED over
and it's essential evil as violation of
Gods command, thou shalt not KILL
be concealed, it is our duty to protest,
and to make plain by our action that
we have no part or sympathy with the
standards or the morals that permit,
much less praise, the action of the self
murderer.

CONTROLLING ANGER.

The Roman Caesar had a good cure
for anger. Whenever a fit of anger
seized him, he counted up to twenty
before answering. This pausing be
came habit, SO that he did it without
counting, just as in practising on the
piano the beginner counts the stops
until he does it intuitively. In this
manner Caesar retained control OF
himself and never gave vent to in
cohsiderate speech.
A more effective precaution is. tt
place oneself in the position of those
who tend to arouse our anger. Il
would be well to consider calmly the
case of those who annoy you, to take
their part and weigh their good quail
ties. Perhaps anger would then yfele
to sympathy and good feeling.
Self-control and the cheerful bear
ing Of unpleasant occurrences, shut:

presents unpleasant things, and hi
who is. too lenient with himself will
have trough road to travel.
Self-eontrol cannot be taught by
parents or teachers, or even by pun
sishment; it must be self-imposed, stel
by step, by acquiring the proper
habits. Everyone must watch him

ST. NEoT AND THE THIEVES.


An old time legend of st. Neot, the
holy hermit who first suggested to
King Alfred the founding of the great
University of Oxford, tells that one
dark night came some thieves and
stole all the oxen belonging to the
monastery.
1t was a most i1opportune time,
too, for the monastery to be without
means of ploughing, for it was time
to SOW the seed. But how could the
ground be prepared when there were
no oxen to- draw the plough?
Down on his knees the holy St.
Neot went and prayed long and ear
nestIy that a way out of the difficulty
might be shown, and as he arose there
came from the thickets near by a
number of wild stays, that meekly
allowed themselves to be yoked even
as the oxen.
Faithfully all day the stays worked
and when night came they were re-
leased. away they bounded swiftly to
their forest home.
The next morning, however. they
came again to be yoked, and the next.
Indeed, every morning saw them come
ready for the days labor. 49,

A SAINT FOR THE WEEK
ST. PAcIFlcus OF SAN sEvERlNo.

The vocation of st. Pacificus was
foreshadowed in his early infancy,
when he used to clothe himself in old
and course rags, declaring that he in
tended to be a Franciscan. At an
early age he was consigned to the
care of his uncle, a priest, who treat
ed him with great sternness This
severity, however, rapidly matured
his virtues, and while still a boy
his reputation for holiness was so
great that his mere presence was
check on sinful words and deeds.
When he was old enough he entered
the Order of Franciscan Observants
at San Severino, his native place. As
soon as he was ordained priest he
devoted his life to gaining souls for
God, and travelled about the country,
preaching and administering the Sac
raments. After some years of this
active life God called him into retire
ment by affecting him with painful
malady. in his legs, which almost
totally deprived him of their use.
From his beloved retreat he was
summoned by his superlors to act as
guardian of the convent Of San
Severino. His countrymen received
him as a Saint, nor could all his hui
mility prevent their homage. During
the last thirty-five years of his life he
suffered uninterruptedly; lameness
blindness, and deafness successfully
hindering, though they could not
stop, the various works he undertook
for Gods glory. For this same end
he worked untiringly until God called
him to his peace at an advanced age,
in 1868.
Humble st. Pacifcus has left no
mark on the great events of his cen
fury, as have many Saints. His
great perfection lay in doing perfect
ly the work, humble at it might be,
which lay before him. Though there
are few who attained to greater spirit
ual heights, or were more marked by
a supernatural absorption in God
still the one means he took to that
end was the closest observance of
the Franciscan rule. While travers-
ing the country, converting souls,
this was the theme of his discourses
and exhortations-a minute faithful
ness to the daily duties of life,
whether in or out of the world
During his whole life in religion he
was never known to infringe any one
precept of either poverty or obedience,
though he always interpreted the
the rule in the most severe and literal
manner.

admirable aspiration is to train under
the parental roof children who will be
intelligent, honorable and Industrious
and help safeguard the ideals of
American citizenship and leave their
mark on their times and communities
for the encouragement of future gen
erations.
Unfortunately there are today at
work influences whose tendency is to
weaken the. home as the social work.
shop, and to subVert or destroy the
institution of marriage. Some parents
seem to have Invested themselves of
all responsibility to the charges that
God has given into their care, being
bent apparently on qualification of self
to the exclusion of duty of any sort
Where formerly sacrifice on the part
of parents for the child's welfare was
considered as the privilege of parent
hood, such honorable self-sacrifice is
found irksome when personal salts
faction monopolizes the lives Of
parents.
The mothers proper sphere is the
home. Her first and principal duties
are there, not elsewhere. If she is a
successful mother she has rendered a
great duty to the community and to
society. She can make the home an
earthly paradise from which will en-
anate the true spirit of Nazareth.
The away-from-home movement
which is SO notable and so detestable
and characteristic of modern life in
certain quarters, and the blind and
selfish absorption in vain pleasure in
places Of amusement and outside ac-
tiyities that are by no means neces-
sary, are among the most dangerous
symptoms of the day. They are di-
rectly opposed to the essential inter-
ests of society.
The public records furnish all too
many instances and startling stats
ties of this decay of parental respon-
sibility. 1t is the direct fruit of a
gospel of stark selishness which is
constructive anarchy. If it became a
general practice it would menace the
existence of the State.
The family is a most glorious in
stitution 1t brings it's sacrifices with
it's joys, it's duties with it's peace, SO
indeed does every good work. They
who treat marriage lightly, are deter
mined to escape its obligations and
are willing to wreck the home on the
slightest occasion, and are to the ex-
tent of their ability enemies of the
community and society.
The crisis through which we are
passing, the spectacle of thousands of
young men found morally and physi-
cally sound by government tests and
sent forth to defend our land and its
liberties, bring home to us with
crushing force the necessity of keep
ing sacred the marriage tie, the care
full training Of children and the no
bility of the sacrifices without which
no home and no nation can endure.
Not in households rent by marital
strife and driven by divorce are
brought up the young men who defend
in stress their country's institutions,
but in real homes blessed by the
Creator and blessing the land that
nourished them.

HOMES; JUST WHAT PARENTS
MAKE THEM.


The home has well been defined as
the social workshop. 1t moulds the
character of the young. If domestic in
fiuences be good, there will go forth
from the home into the world men and
women who will be agents of vigor and
support to the State and to society at
large.
On this point, The Pilot says that
the majority of Christian parents,
realizing the sacred responsibilities of
marriage, exert themselves for the
spiritual and physical well-being of
their offspring. They cheerfully make
every sacrifice that their children may
enjoy the ever increasing opportuni-
ties OF this expanding nation, Their
