THE BLESSED VIRGIN.

st. Ambrose wrote of the Blessed
Virgin Mary:
AS the modesty of Mary is a pattern
for the imitation of all maidens, so
also is her humility.
She went to see Elizabeth, like one
cousin going to visit another, and as
the younger to the elder Not only
did she first go, but she first saluted
Elizabeth. Now the purer a virgin is,
the humber she ough! to be- She will
know how to submit herself to her
elders. She that professeth chastity
ought to be a very mistress Of humil-
ity.
Lowry mindedness is at once the
very ground in which devotion grow
eth and the first and principal rule of
it's teaching.
In this act we see the greater going
to visit and assist the lesser-Mary to
Elizabeth, Christ to John.
What shall l say about the rest of
her great qualities? She was vir-
gin not in body only but in mind also;
the purity of her thoughts had been
defiowered by no evil suggestion; she
was lowly in heart, serious in words,
wise in head; she spoke little and took
great delight in reading; she placed
her hopes not in uncertain riches, but
in the prayers of the poor; she was
earnest in her work, and modest in
her conversation; she was used to con-
slider not what men might think of
her, but what God might think; she
hurt none, and wished well to all; she
shrank from Boosting, she followed
reason; she loved what was best.

MADONNA MIA.

An open Rose, full fragrant of the
May,
A bud of beauty nesting to it's
heart:
SO did the vision of Madonna dart
Into a painters soul. His brush, in
Majestic, circling into moon-curves
gray,
Rose-tinted, delicate, on lips apart
And rounded cheek-eyes soft with
tears that start
In tenderness for all who weep and
pray.
Nay, more than this. With stronger
yearning still
Those eyes look out on souls that
have no love
For her and none for Him of Calvary.
Father, forgive them!" once He
cried; that thrill
Of plying anguish rent the realms
abovei
Dear Jesus, it is still thy Mothers
plea.

SHE LOVED HER NEIGHBoR.

Sister Alcantara died in Hartwell,
n. Y, last week. Who is Sister AL
cantara? Well, first she was for sew
enty-five years sojourner on this
earth, fifty-three of which had been
passed mainly in begging for the sick
poor. Begging, so that the harrassed
father whose wage barely bought his
family's daily needs would not have
to face in despair the sudden or grave
illness Of one of his flock
But Sister Alcantara used not alone
the ordinary means of getting charity
for her sick poor. So alert was she
in their service that she would turn
even her own discontinue into com
fort for them. One delightful instance
of this occurred early in her relig-
loss life. We give it in another Sis.
ter's quaint words:
In the beginning of her career
Sister Alcantara and a companion
were suspected to be imposters and
were led by an officer to the police
station where they had to answer
many questions. The captain found
out his mistake. He begged pardon
for it and wanted to dismiss Sister
She, in her mild and childlike way
said: oh, these kind gentlemen here
will surely give me something for my
lost time All officers present gave
Sister very acceptable aims. With
the captains invitation to call for a
collection every month, Sister left
overjoyed to have been arrested in
the service of the poor. This was the
start of our present monthly collec.
ton at the police station houses"

PRACTICAL CATHOLIC.

''One must have the heart of child
toward God, of a mother toward ones
neighbor, and of judge toward one
self"
This was the counsel Pere Henri
/ Joyard, distinguished Jesuit preach
er who died dozen years ago, used
to give his hearers. The words ad
| mirably describe, says a writer in
America, practical Catholic who
lives his religion. Little children's
virtues are the very ones that best
| become Gods servants. Their affec
ton, innocence, lowliness, gratitude
| docility, trustfulness and simplicity
| are what make children so dear tc
parents, and these are likewise the
qualities the Heavenly Father loves
| to find characterizing His older chill
| dren in all their relations with Him
practical hold of amiable childrens
virtues can be made the measure OF
Gods love for him.
Being mother toward one's
| neighbor" is the second mark of the
practical Catholic. 1t means a readi.
ness to overlook in others, as does a
mother in her children, defects and
shortcomings, to interpret words and
deeds charitably, to be as tender of a
neighbours fair name and to be as kind
to him as mother is toward her
little ones. Just as mothers, more

service, have ready for them when
ever it is needed word of counsel
or comfort, and are glad to make
sacrifices for them, in like manner
our ideal Catholics relations with his
neighbor will be characterized by the
motherly virtues of kindness, patience
and self-sacrifice.
The third mark of the practical
Catholic, according to Pere Joyard, is
the virtue of being fair Judge to-
ward oneself" That is difficult, be-
cause this judge, as rule, is biased.
He always enters court predisposed to
favor the defendant For that liti-
gant'S crimes and misdemeanors he
easily finds thousand extenuating
circumstances, SO conscience, the
plaintiff, generally loses his case and
has to pay the costs. Well has it
been said, nevertheless, that There
is only one person in the world to
whom | may always be severe, there
is only one who richly deserves it,
and that person is myself" But the
Catholic whom self-will, self-seeking
or self-loVe never keeps from prac-
ticing this salutary judicial severity
toward himself is practical Catholic
indeed. who is he and we will
praise him? for he has done wonder
full things in his life"

of the world. But God can not be
bound to such an action which goes
beyond or even against the nature
and demands of the creature.
To mere natural man suffering
must always remain dismal darkness
Only Revelation can throw light or
this problem. From it we know that
according to the original plan of GOO
evil was not to affect man, that the
cause of physical evil in this world
is the moral evil, sin, sprung from
the abuse of the creatures will, moth
ing but the echo of the great dis
sonance of sin, in the first line pun
ishment and eXpiation for guilt, the
bitter fruit of sin ITSELF (Bishol
Keppler, Das Problem des Uebels-
The Problem of Evil. p. 49,.
The full solution of the problem OF
evil We find first in Christianity
where Christ did not only throw
light into the depths of suffering but
descended Himself, and through His
innocent passion and death conquered
and removed the cause, sin. Through
Him suffering as consequence OF
sin has been changed into means
to overcome sin; out of means OF
chastising justice it has become the
instrument of the highest mercy
Suffering innocently for another, He
has liberated the propitiatory powers
of suffering and raised it infinitely by
the dignity of His divine Person
For the redeemed suffering is nc
more hindrance but a means OF
sanctification. The apostle tells us:
Nov all chastisement for the pres
ent indeed seemeth not to bring with
it joy, but sorrow: but afterward 1t
will yield, to them that are eXer-
cised by it, the most peaceable fruit
of justice" QIeb. 12:1D. Suffering
love, for this reason the Wise Man
admonishes us: MY son, reject not
the correction of the Lord: and do
not faint when thou art chastised by
Him: for whom the Lord lOveth, he
chastiseth: and as father in the
son he pleaseth himself prov. 3:11,
12). Again the Apostle teaches that
the end and aim of suffering is for
our trial and preservation: I'VE
glory also in tribulations, knowing
that tribulation worketh patience;
and patience trial; and trial hope;
and hope confoundeth not" (Rom
$3.50. The picture of the Crucitied
stands forever in the centre of suf
fering humanity as symbol OF
divine love, perishing in suffering
offering itself and triumphing in
death; the Cross, therefore, as the
sign of victory is the sign of saliva
ton and the solution of the riddle OF
suffering: For l reckon that the
sufferings of this time are not worthy
to be compared with the glory to
come, that shall be revealed in us
(Rom. S:1S). (Cf. Keppler, |. C. p.

THE VIRGIN BIRTH
DISCUSSION OF SUBJECT DENIED
BY YALE PROFESSOR.

By reason of the prestige that is
supposed to hedge the university pro-
fessor a recent statement of Professor
Benjamin w. Bacon, of Yale Univer-
sity, regarding the virgin birth of
Christ may cause harm to the faith
of the unthinking Protestant. The
Catholic whose solid foundation of
faith is the Infallible Church of God
will not be disturbed, but Protestant
Christianity is so torn by dissension
among it's own spiritual leaders that
it is ready to accept any theological
vagary.
The opinion Of Professor Bacon was
given at a meeting of the Biblical Saw
ants at Harvard College on a re-
cent occasion He declared that the
original manuscript of the Bible con-
tanned no foundation for belief in the
virgin birth and that this belief came
about through desire of Biblical edi-
tors to write a good story" Profess
sor Bacon said that there were two
principal versions of the story, one
that Joseph as a natural father begot
Jesus, and the other, almost univer-
sally accepted, of the virgin birth. The
Bible, as now printed, he said, was the
result of much working over by Bibli-
cal editors, and through their various
interpretations of the original manu-
script they came into many Commissions.
In the first place the professor
should bear in mind that the belief in
the virgin birth is not a new thing
that sprung into popularity after the
Bible had been worked over by edi-
tors" From the earliest days the
Christian Church held most firmly to
the perpetual virginity of the Blessed
Virgin AS early as the fourth cen
fury Helvidius Jovinian and other her
etics were condemned by the Synods
of Rome and Capua. In the middle of
the seventh century the Council OF
Lateran voiced the infallible witness
of the Christian Church. Practically
all Biblical scholars, Protestant as
we'll as Catholic, today deny emphati-
cally that the Blessed Virgin had other
children. They insist that our Lord
would not have commended His
Mother to the care of the Beloved Dis
ciple if she had children of her own.
The Modernist.
The Modernist, adhering to the prin-
ciple of historical development and
denying the possibility of any mirac-
ulous intervening in the course of his
tory, consistently denies the histori-
cal actuality of the virgin birth. The
arguments of these
critics are based on pure assumption.
The contention that the first two chap
ters of the Gospel of ST. Luke are a
later addition was first advanced in
1904 by Wellhausen, German Bibli-
cal scholar. His theory was antici-
pated by Harnack. who shows that the
two chapters belong to the author of
the third Gospel and the Acts of the
Apostles. The arguments for the gen
uineness of the first two chapters of
St Luke are so conclusive that it is
lard to understand how they can be
