SPONSORS AT BAPTISM.

''Who shall stand sponsor for the
baby?" This is an important question.
It is earnestly considered by the Rev.
Reynold Kuehnel in his conference to
mothers, in the Homiletic Monthly.
Zone consideration alone should bear
weight with you, says Father Kueh-
mel, land that one is: To whom
would you wish to entrust your chill
dren, for both their temporal and spir-
itual welfare, if God should call you
from this life before they are able to
take care of themselves? Answer
that one question to your satisfaction
and you have solved the problem"
The duty of a sponsor is not merely
to be present at the baptism. Those
who act as sponsors assume grave
responsibility, and therefore devout,
practical Catholics should be chosen
for the office. Some parents try to
select sponsors from whom temporal
favors may be expected. Their de-
sire is that they should be wealthy
so that the children will receive hand
some birthday presents" remarks this
director of souls. Suppose that such
sponsors do give the infant a hand
some present every year, what of it?
AS rule, wealth and piety do not go
hand in hand. There are, thanks be
to God, exceptions, but they are only
exceptions after all. Into the ears of
such misguided parents l would like
to pour constantly the words of our
dear Lord, What shall it profit a man
to gain the whole world and lose his
own soul?' and that other command of
Christ, Seek We first the kingdom of
heaven and it's justice and all things
else will be added unto you.'

morning prayers, upon grace before
and after meals, upon daily lessons in
Christian doctrine, upon sound Chris
tian principles to govern conduct.
Read all you can yourself, so as to be
able to teach intelligently; and when
your children ask questions you can
not answer, as they inevitably will,
read further or ask your pastor.
Above all things, set good ex-
ample. Actions speak louder than
words. No parent who is missing
Mass, swearing, drunken, can ever
teach his children properly. If you
wish them to~be religious, you must
first be so before them. Like father,
like son, is a very true proverb.
Know your own religion, practice
your religion, keep Gods law, and
give time to the training of your
children; then you will not be of

WHAT PRAYER DOES.

Prayer creates Christian character.
It's constant practice soothes the ruff
filings. of an irascible temper, writes
Walter Elliott, in 'The Spiritual
Life" 1t also overcomes the hard in
fuence of a rude environment. ST.
Athanasius knew st. Anthony after
he had been in the desert wilderness
alone for thirty years, and he said
that this long era of solitary prayer
made the great hermit anything but
a rude, sullen man; it endowed him
rather with a most obliging and
sociable air." Inward peace makes
outward kindness. You behold the
effects of prayerful habits in mingled
gravity and gentleness of manner,
the quick response of sympathy, the
ready trustfulness of ones fellowmen
these and other beautiful traits are
seen in addition to the sublimer ones
of love of God and charity to the
poor.

IA SAINT FOR THE WEEK,
3. COLUMBIA OF RlETI.

From infancy Columbia led a super-
natural life. She strewed her little
bed with thorns, and from an old
sieve plated hair shirt. At ten she
made vow of virginity, and when
her parents tried to change her re-
solve, and chose a husband for her.
she proved her determination by cut
ting off her hair and casting it at
their feet. The Holy Eucharist
formed her one desire and almost
her sole nourishment. Hunger. thirst.
sleep, and the other needs of nature
not only never tormented her, but
she lived unconscious of them. At
nineteen she entered the Third Order
of st. Dominic, though continuing to
dwell in her fathers house. Being
warned in sleep to- leave Rieti, she
one night found herself, how she
knew not, travelling on an unknown
road. She finally stopped at Perugia,
in which she recognized the city of
her dream. The inhabitants received
her as a Saint, and built for her the
convent of ST. Catherine, in which
she gathered under one roof all the
Tertiary nuns. When a great plague
was raging, she offered herself as a
victim, and the plague was stayed;
but COLUMBIA was struck down by the
scourge. She only recovered to find
herself assailed by the vilest calum-
MES, and treated as an impostor.
Alexander VI. ordered an inquiry.
Nor was it till after many trials, and
being deposed from her Office of prior
ess, that her innocence was proved.

a height that he felt it impossible to

CATHEDRAL AT SPIRES.

The Cathedral at Spires is the
largest church in Germany. 1t was
built between the years 1915 and 1887.
It's length is four hundred and seven
ty-eight feet Like the Cathedrals of
Wodms, Bohn, and Mayence, it be-
longs to the family of double-apsed
hurches-magnifice products of the
early architecture of the Middle Ages,
which are rare in Europe, and found
mostly in the Rhine Valley. At
Spires, the two apses support cupolas
flanked each with a like number of
towers. The interior presents a some
what severe aspect. Prominent among
the decorations are twelve square pill
lars which separate the lofty nave
from the two aisles. In the middle of
the nave, upon the floor, are four
stone roses, which mark the place
where st. Bernard preached the Cru
SADIE in 1146. Under the nave of the
Kings Choir, in the imperial vault,
lie what is left of nine emperors. I'm
der the eastern part of the Cathedral
is a crypt supported by massive pill
lars, where are to be found baptismal
fonts of the eighth and ninth centu-
ries, and a tomb of Rudolph of Haps-
burg, with crowned statue.

YOUR CRUCIFiX A DAILY RE.
MlNDER.


Have you a crucifX? What do you
do with it? Keep it near you. Let
it be on your desk when you write,
or on your work table, that when
you raise your eyes they may fall
upon the image of Jesus. And when
you sleep hold the crucifiX in your
hand. 1t is true that nothing can
equal, as a means of sanctifying grace,
the practice of frequent Communion
and alteration of the Blessed Sacra-
ment, but one cannot always be in the
Divine Presence, nor can we receive
Jesus into our hearts as often as we
would desire. One can, however, al
ways wear His image, and this image
of Jesus speaks a language of its own
that will help the soul in many ways.
Why do you not, when you rise in the
morning, kiss the crucifiX with love,
and promise to carry the crosses He
sends you throughout the day?
-Pere d 'ALzon.

"AND | SENT HIM TO A CATHOLIC
SCHOOL,"

We sometimes hear parents say
Il don't know why my son is not more
pious. l did everything possible to
educate him in his religion, and sent
him to Catholic school"
Probably, however, everything pos
gests the author of the Paulist Five
Minute Sermons in The Southern Mes
senger. The chances are that, the
mother trusted everything to the
school. A great many parents at
least seem to think that they have
fulfilled their full duty towards their
children by sending them to Catho-
lie school. They may take great
pains to train their children in table
manners and the niceties of social in
tercourse, but they feel that they are
absolved from all effort by the mere
fact of delegating their religious
training to the Sisters.
1t is good to send children to Cath
Ollie schools. That is right and proper.
We could never advocate anything
else. But it is not enough. No mat
ter how perfect a school may be, it
cannot take the place of the home.
Parents must do their part or else
their children, ordinarily, will not be
as thoroughly religious as they should.
A day school has child for four or
five hours day, and parents have
him for twenty. Even if there was
no blood relationship entering in, yet
the home influence would necessarily
be more important than that of the
school.
Therefore, my friends, whatever
sacrifices are necessary to send your
children to Catholic schools, and to
provide Catholic schools for others,
yet at the same time do not think
that you have thereby done your
whole duty. You individually, as the
parent, must do your share in train
ing your child in ways of faith.
Pastor and Sisters can cooperate, but
they cannot take the whole burden.
Their influence, as being spread over
SO many more children, must neces-
sarily be more diffused. They can
not give the same individual attention
which you can give. And their love,
no matter how supernatural, cannot
rival the love of a good parent for
his children.
Remember, then, that no matter
how good the school and how deficient
your own education, you are obliged
to help in training your children in
the Catholic religion Provided you
can read, you can, do more than any
other teacher. Insist upon night and
