DEVOTED LIFE TO. EDUCATION OF
 WOMEN

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 13-A record of century and a half devoted to the education of women on two con tinents was closed with the death of Miss Clara J. Armstrong on Septem Der 13, at the age of seventy. Since she was twenty years old Miss Arm strong had been a teacher in various schools in the United States and in Argentine.
 Early in life she displayed an un- usual attitude for learning. At the age of four she could read and 1t was said by those who knew her as a girl in her native town in Alden. N. r., that at the age of nine she had ac- quired all the fundamentals of her ed ucaton. Graduated from the State Normal School at Oswego. N. Y. she first became principal of the State Normal School at Indianapolis, Ind, where the Clara J. Armstrong club still exists as a testimonial to her force of character and her influence as an educator.
 While serving in this capacity she attracted the attention of Dr. Sarmien to, then Argentine minister to the United States. but later president o the republic, who invited her to gC to his country to aid in the develop ment of education of women there For ten years Miss Armstrong was fl charge of government school fo women at Catamarca. at a point ove a thousand miles inland and far iron any railroad.

YOUR VOCATION.

Il beseech you that you walk wor-
thy of the vocation in which you are
called"
Each one has vocation, calling,
from God A strong attraction to par
enthood may be just as real mes
sage from the Father of all, of Jesus
Christ from Whom all paternity is
named, as the most evident and direct
vocation for the priesthood. God
has something in mind for each one
of us to do, and unless we find out
what that is and do it we are not &C
complishing His will.
Apart, however, from the special
vocation that each one has, he has an
other general calling as Christian.
st. Paul was writing to the Christians
at Ephesus as Il whole, not to the
clergy or the deaconesses. 1t was
not special class whom He was adj
dressing. And so we know that He
meant that each one had vocation in
which he should walk worthily.
What that vocation is, the general
vocation of a Christian, we are told
precisely in the Gospel. Christ sums
up the whole law and the Prophets in
two commandments: to love God with
our whole heart, and mind, and soul,
and strength; and to love cur neigh
Dor as ourselves. Every man by the
mere fact of processing belief in Chris
tianity acknowledges that God has
called him to the practice of these
two commandments. He need not sep
arate himself from the world, he need
not shut himself UP in a monastery,
he need not take any special VOWS OF
poverty or chastity in order to &C
complish this vocation, and the fact

A SAINT FOR THE WEEK.
ST. FRUcruosUs, MARTYR.

st. Fructuosus was Bishop of Tar
ragona in the reign of Valerian and
Gallienus. Little is known of his
episcopal life. But we are told that
he was reVered as a great example
of the virtues which st. Paul requires
in a Bishop, and that he won the
love of the heathens as well as Chris
tians. He was summoned for the
name of Christ before the president,
and when he heard the soldiers at
the door he rose calmly, with the
words, Arise, let us go" and en-
tered his prison, accompanied by two
deacons. He spent his time there in
continual prayer. The Christians of
his flock visited him in prison, and
begged his intercession.
After five days, when brought be-
fore the president, he declared that
he worshipped one God, and would
worship no other His deacons show
ed the same constancy, and all three
wore condemned to be burned alive.
Ga is way he was offered a cup OF
wine, which he refused, because it
was Friday, a day on which the Cath
olics, according to the custom of that
time, did not eat or drink before
three o'clock. At the place of his
martyrdom he prayed for the whole
Catholic Church, consoled his spirit
ual children, and then was bound to
the stake. When the fire loosed his
bond he knelt in prayer, with his
arms extended like cross; and in
this customary attitude of prayer he
breathed forth his soul.
Prayer made Fructuosus strong and
tranquil in martyrdom. Leave me,
my son. he said to one of his clergy,
who came wishing to take off the
Bishops shoes at the stake. Il will
do that Office for myself, strong and
rejoicing, and assured of our Lord S
promise" And our Lord was indeed
faithful to His promise. Fructuosus
began Friday with the fast and
prayer of the Church Militant, and
finished it in the joy of the Church
Triumphant. For two Christians be-
held the heavens opened, and saw
Fructuosus and his deacons enter
there with crowns upon their heads.

HOW "SILENT NIGHT" ORIG
MATED.

On the holy eve of Christmas of
the year 1918, as the last rays of the
sinking sun were fading away over
the Bavarian hills, and deep shadows
were beginning to fall over the beau
tiful valley, on the small footpath
high up on the hill, leading out be-
tween two cliffs as it were, came a
wanderer 1t was the assistant priest
of Oberdorf at Arnsdorf, Rev. Joseph
Mohr.
He took particular delight in this
lonesome walk over the high hills on
this solemn evening, for his soul was
filled with holy thoughts of the In
carnation and the songs and melodies
of Christmas joys and Christmas
peace were runnig through his mind.
He was in no hurry, but on the con-
trary leisurely walked on while the
night shades we're spreading out more
and more until finally they covered
even the highest peaks. One star
after the other began to make it's ap-
pearance until the entire armament
was covered with the little stars vie
ing with each other on this holy night
to shine with greater energy and
illumine the way for those who would
be called to adore the newborn
Saviour.
A turn in the road brought the wan
derer to slight elevation, where he
sat down on the stump of tree for
a few moments reflection. A large
pasture field lay before him; the
Pickering of the lights of the village
of Arnsdorf could be seen down in
the valley, while still farther away
those of the huts of Oberdorf Be
hind the deep pine forest the moon
was rising in her silent glory, reflect
ing herself in the deep lake just at
the foot of the hill 1t was a wonder

WHAT ENGLAND LOST AT THE
REFORMATION"
Previous Centuries an Era When Re-
liqion and Education Went Hand
in Hand.

Rev. E. Come, M. A., Of st. Bede's
College, England, writing of "The
Catholic Church, the Foundress Of
Universities" said among other
things:
"The Catholic Church founded
schools all over Europe in connection
with her cathedrals and monasteries,
and here were gathered together men,
bers of the various religious orders,
the Benedictines in particular. The
Benedictines had always been body
of learned men, and even today they
numbered among the members of
their fold some of the brightest in
tellects of the day.
The tenth, eleventh, and twelfth
centuries was an era of great intel
lectual glory, and it was an era when
Christians, tired of fighting in the
crusades, turned to the pursuit of
knowledge. The universities, from
the earliest days, sprang up in a nat
ural way, and each was founded
either directly by the Pope himself
or his Bishops, or else, shortly after
the foundation, had the appreciation
of the Holy See, fact that showed
the zeal of the Church for learning in
those early days.
"The second feature was the relig-
ious character of the whole tone and
moral of the universities. The stu
dents had, first of all, their collegiate
or university church built for them.
Religion and learning went hand-in-
hand. The third characteristic was
the presence of
Great Religious Orders
namely, the Augustinians, the Bene-
dictians, the Dominicans and the Fran
ciscans. They gave the hallmark to
the learning of that day.
The two great orders who raised
the learning of Europe to wonder
full height were the Dominicans and
the Franciscans, and they ought to
be thrilled and filled with pride over
the fact that those great orders Of the
twelfth century were still in their
midst-a glorious tribute to the con
tinuity of the Church, glorious
tribute to the Rock of Peter, upon
which the Church was built.

VERTICAL COMPASS

one of the most important steps re-
Gently made in the field of science was
the perfection of a vertical compass
by Captain T. Q. Creagh- Osborne, sup
erintendent of compasses for the Brit
ish admiralty. Ever since the compass IS
came into existence the instrument has
been made with the face IN a hori-
zontal position. 1t had been believed
that vertical compass never could
be used, because of the peculiar fune-
tions of this instrument. Many at
tempts have been made along that
line, none of which was successful.
But this new compass is said to be
wholly satisfactory and has obvious
advantages over the older type. 1t will
now be possible to mount a compass
so that it will be level with the steers
mans eyes.
