THE CONVENT GRADUATE AND
HER MISSION.

Apropos of the return home to the
realities of life of the convent school
graduate, it is of interest to consider
the work which is waiting for these
young people TODD. They have real
and very admirable mission, whatever
their home duties may be-and it is to
impress the effects of their careful re-
ligious training upon the world about
them.

A SAINT FOR THE WEEK
ST. MICHAEL OF THE SAINTS.

Michael was native of Spain.
While yet a mere child he made a vow
of chastity, and when his father, hear
ing of it, jestingly proposed marriage
to him, he ran sobbing to our Lady's
altar, and there, more fervently reiter-
ated his vow. At the age of six he
ran away from home to lead the life
of hermit. His father brought him
back, and apprenticed him to a mer-
chant, whom Michael served faithfully,
though he spent all his leisure time in
church, and was even then found in
ecstasy before the Blessed Sacrament.
When not yet twelve years old he
again stole away secretly, and this
time entered the Trinitarian Order of
Barcelona, and in due time was SOL
EMMY protested. A few months after
his profession a call from God led him
to exchange into the stricter dis
calced" branch of the same Order.
The VOW of virginity which he had
made in childhood, and now renewed
for life, was blessed by God. He never
had one temptation of the flesh, or
single impure thought. Still he
chastised his body with constant
austerities. For years he derived him
self of bed and pillow, and literally
had not where to lay his head. The
Blessed Sacrament was the aim of all
his devotions. For It ne stroye to
be mortified, fervent, chaste; and his
love at times forced him to rush into
the open air, and to act like one de-
mented. He spent his life in laboring
in the hospitals and prisons, and died,
aged thirty-three, A. D. 1886.
Many persons condemned St.
MichaeIs extraordinary devotion be-
fore the Blessed Sacrament, call
ing it eXaggeration and hypocrisy.
Among these was a careless priest
named Fernandez. One day, when St.
Michael was preaching on preparation
for Holy Communion, Fernandez sat
by listening with inward derisien
Suddenly he saw the Saint raised
above the pulpit, and heard him say

woe is mel These words, and the
rapture which accompanied them,
struck deep into the heart of Fernan-
DEE, for he felt that they expressed
his own state. He repented sincere
ly of all his irreverences towards our
Lord, and for the rest of his life was
fond of repeating the words which
had SO moved his soul.

parties, for instance, at which wine is

lead to deplorable results, even though

If the infidelity of partner is
proved, the Catholic Church allows a
separation, not divorce, on the an
pl1cation of the innocent party. With
this provision the claims of Justice
ana fairness are satisfied; for the in

to live with an unfaithful mate. New
ertheless, there are many marriages
in which the love of the one partner
sustains and lifts up the erring or fall

hundreds of such cases. A forgivine
spirit is one Of the most beautiful yir-
tues in husband or wife, which has it's
own reward in the consciousness that
the guilty party has seen the error of
his ways and repented Forgive and

"QUEEN OF PEACE"

Our Lady's new title becomes her
well, for all her ways are pleasant
ness and all her paths are peace. In
the Gospels, whenever we meet our
Saviour's Mother we find her promot-
ing harmony or bringing peace.
Behold the handmade of the Lord |!
Be it done unto me according to Thy
word" her noble answer to the
angelic ambassador of God, first
brought down to war-worn nations
the Prince of Peace Himself; over
the hills she sped, not long after, to
bear peace and joy to the heart of
Elizabeth; the whole world had to
be at peace before Mary brought
forth her first-born Son and laid Him
in a manger; some time later she re-
joiced to see the royal Magi return

Gods peace; rather than let single

LOVE AND JEALOUSY.

Some people regard a love without
jealousy as being only a half-hearted
attachment They are fools. They
have no conception of the destructive
force Of this passion. 'The most ter
rible among terrors,' says Schiller, lis
man in his crazed fancy" In most
cases the jealous person is the prey of
a distorted fancy produced by an ex-
aggeration of his own claims and a
misconception of the duties of the
other party.
Neither the husband nor the wife
has the right to covet the sole atten-
ton and exclusive interest of the
other. The share of each one is mar
ital love and fidelity, and all that they
include. For the rest, each partner
remains an Independent individual,
and as such has individual interests
also Independent social duties.
The man, owing to his chivalrous
natural aptitudes, will conduct him
self toward women with consideration
and readiness to oblige. The fact that
at times serious or ridiculous situa-
lions arise, only tends to prove the
existence of this natural propensity.
A wise woman will regard the chival-
rous conduct of her husband toward
other women as something lying in
the very nature of things, in the same
light that she regards the thoughtful
concern of other men toward herself.
Does not unfounded suspicion betray
bad conscience in the one so sus-
pecting?
On the other hand, motherliness is
woman's characteristic trait. Why
should a husbands jealousy be arous-
ed because this natural faculty is also
devoted to the welfare of others?
Charity is par excellence the hand
maid of motherliness. In a marriage
in which enthusiastically manly and
themselves in behalf of others, mat
rimonial love is narrow, egotistic, not
Christian.
If marriage involved the severance
of all relations with persons of the
opposite sex, then the Turkish GUS
toms would be the most moral The
character of the man and of the wom-
an is the ultimate determining factor.
A man of weak character or an I'M
faithful wife will follow his or her in
clinations despite all jealousy and all
jealous supervision.
Nevertheless, caution must always
be exercised by wife or husband in
friendly intercourse with others. 1t
would be playing with fire for mar

portunity makes difficulties, just as it

Whether in social or business way.
any freedom of conduct toward a
woman of weak character may become
dangerous for man. The deport-
ment OF women of approved virtue
does not allow a mans sensuous ma
ture to come into play. With a wom-
an of this kind a conscientious man is
safe, and even roue must toe the

Last evening Rev. c. N. Thomas,
pastor of the Union church of See
ley, delivered an illustrated lecture
on his travels in that interesting coun-
try. The lecture was delivered under
the auspices of the Seeley Farm Bu
reau.
Among other things, Mr.. Thomas
said that New Zealand for scenic
beauty is equal to Switzerland, with
many beautiful lakes, great mountains
and hundreds of waterfalls. In the
northern island there is a thermal
belt about twenty miles wide and
thirty miles long, where there are
geysers, extinct volcanoes and hot
seething mud lakes.
His remarks about the native Mao
rls were of peculiar interest. These
natives belong to the same race as
tie native Hawaiians and Samoans
They are large people physically

cities-Wellingtonx Dunedin, Christ

the smaller cities. He emphasized
the clean appearance of the cities and
