A LESSON FOR CATHOLICS.

We may sometimes learn q valuable
lesson from our separated brethren.
It is announced in the secular papers
that a young Chicago millionaire has
turned from the Injuries his wealth
would secure to devote his life to the
apostolate of his church.
The young man has entered on a
course of study in a Protestant semi
nary to prepare himself for the task
he has set before him. He intends to
bestow his labors on the missionary
field in China after completing several
years of preparation. This example
on the part of one outside the fold
can serve as a stimulus to those with
in. 1t is an illustration of the depth
of sentiment for foreign missions in
many non-Catholic homes.
Would that our Catholic parents en-
couraged in their sons a vocation for
foreign mission work. Just now there
is splendid harvest and few laborers
in that portion of the Lords vineyard.

rob them of their affairs or their
schools, as in the sixteenth century;
and they come forth only refreshed,
regenerated, unbroken in spirit, capa-
Bile of renewed effort and boundless
devotion.
For proof look around Art, paint
ing and sculpture; law, literature,
even love; architecture-each shall
find in Him it's newest and most gor-
geous form, highest impulse and ulti-
mate measure.
Not only men but also nations pass
away and are forgotten On merely
human grounds no one can account
for one born in manger and dying
on a cross ruling time, people eter-
nifty, raising UP a spiritual kingdom to
bring comfort and consolation to hon
est toll, directing leisure and refine
ment to the service of mankind.
Not only thousands but also mil
lions in every age, in every condition,
in every cline invoke His name and
blessing at marriage, birth and death
to conserve the sanctity of the home,
the honor of woman and the lasting
good of man.
Dead men build no such kingdoms
as His. Only a Risen Saviour can
give explanation-complete and salts
factory-for the Church He founded
and the civilization His life and teach
ing have inspired.
From the fourth to the thirteenth
century it is the Church which al
ways marches in the front rank of
civilization. / must call your atten-
ton to fact which stands at the head
of all others, and characterizes the
Christian Church in general fact
which, SO to speak, has decided its
destiny. This fact is the unity of the
Church, the unity of the Christian So
ciety, irrespectively of all diversities
of science, of place, of power, of Ian,
guage, or origin. Wonderful phe-
nomenon 1t is just at the moment
when the Roman Empire is breaking
up and disappearing that the Chris
tian Church gathers itself up and
takes its definite form. Political unity
perishes, religious unity energies.
Populations endlessly different in orr
gin, habits, speech, destiny, rush upon
the scene; all becomes local and par
tial; every enlarged idea, every great
local arrangement is lost sight Of;
and in this moment this Christian
Church proclaims most loudly the
unity of it's teaching, the universally
of its law. And from the bosom of
the most frightful disorder the world
has ever seen has arisen the largest
and purest idea, perhaps, which ever
drew men together-the idea of spir-
itual society.

THE CROSS IN WINDoW-LIGHTs.

An eloquent cross can be made in
the face of great building if all its
windows are darkened but those in
one vertical and one transverse row.
The use of this evening display, made
in recognition of the great festivals
OF Christianity, is becoming frequent
in the cities of the East. The Curtis
Building and others in Philadelphia.
We're so Illuminated on the evening
of Good Friday, and the Cross shone
from the windows of the North
American Building on Easter night.
In New York it appeared in Park
Row, in Madison Square, and on Fifth
avenue. The New York Tribune
claims to have begun the display last
Christmas, and sees a great appropri-
ateness in the thought that now, ..at
a time when the nation stands on the
threshold of unimagined things, the
symbol of sacrifice. fidelity, love OF
humanity, will shine above it's greatest
city. 1t may be that an entire land
arming for righteous war, may bear
upon it's bosom the Cross of its faith
fashioned in light.

A PRIESTS SLOW MARTYRDoM.

The New Zealand Tablet repro
duces the following touching story OF
a faithful Polish priest observing the
seal of the confessional
An old Spanish proverb has it that
"A secret known to two persons is
Gods secret; secret among three is
all mems property The saying is
singularly appropriate in so far as it
applies to the confessional. 1t is in
very truth Gods secret" The editor
then cites ''the story of Father Koblo-
wicz, told in 1873 by the Reich
zeitung' of Bonn. He was parish
priest of Oranon, in Kiev (Russian
Poland(, and bore high reputation
for piety and zeal. A murder was
committed in his parish and his gun,
recently discharged, was found con-
cealed under the altar He was tried,
found guilty, and condemned to penal
servitude for life in the mines of
Siberia. Twenty years later-1873-
the organist of the church at Oranon
lay dying. He summoned the authori
ties, and confessed that he was the
murderer. He had used the priests
gun, hastily concealed it beneath the
altar, and in the search which ensued
had contrived to cast suspicion on
Father Koblowicz. In a remorseful
mood he soon afterwards confessed to
the priest, but had not the courage to
surrender himself to the hands of JUS
tice After his diving confession, or
ders were sent to Siberia for the i'm
mediate release of Father Koblowicz.
He had died short time previously,
He had endured the slow martyrdom
of Siberian mines for twenty years.
He had borne that far keener agony
the fearful ceremony of public degrad
alton at Zhitomeer. He bore his
heavy cross in silence with him to the
grave"

A SAINT FOR THE WEEK.
ST. JOHN OF ST. FAcuNDUs.

st. John was born at st. Fagondez
in Spain. At an early age he held
several benefces in the diocese of
Burgos, till the reproaches of his con-
science formed him to resign them all
except one chapel, where he daily said
Mass, preached, and catechized. After
this he studied theology at Salamanca,
and then labored for some time as a
most devoted missionary priest. u
timately he became hermit of the
}Augustinian Order in the same city
There his life was marked by a singu-
lar devotion to the Holy Mass. Each
night after Mathis he remained in
prayer till the hour of ceiebration,
when he offered the Adorable Sacri-
flee with the most tender piety, often
enjoying the sight of Jesus in glory,
and holding sweet colloquies with Him.
The power of his personal holiness
was seen in his preaching, which pro-
duced complete reformation in Sala-
manca. He had special gift of re-
conciling differences, and was enabled
to put an end to the quarrels and
feuds among noblemen, at that period
very common and fatal. He was also
most jealous in denouncing those hide
Gus vices which are a fruitful source
of strife, and it was indefence of holy
purity that he met his death. A lady
of noble birth, but evil life, whose
companion in sin ST. John had con-
verted, contrived to administer to him
fatal poison. After several months
of terrible suffering borne with I'M
varying patience, st. John went to his
reward on June II, 1879.
The boldness shown by st. John in
reproving vice, which in the end
caused his death, had on previous
occasion endangered his life. A pow
erful noble, having been corrected by
the Saint for depressing his vassals,
sent two assassins to Stay him. The
holiness of the Saints aspect how
ever, caused by that peace which con-
tinually reigned in his soul, struck
such awe into their minds that they
could not execute their purpose, but
humbly besought his forgiveness.
And the noblemen himself, falling
sick, was brought to repentance, and
recovered his health by the prayers of
the Saint whom he had endeavored to
murder.

OUR DESTINY.

We are not sent into this world for
nothing; we are not born at random;
we are not here to sin when we have a
mind, and reform when we are tired
of SHINING. God sees every one of us;
He. creates every soul; He lodges it in
the body one by one for a purpose.
He needs-He deigns to need-every
one of us. He has an end for each of
US; we are all equal in His sight, and
we are placed in our different ranks
and stations, not to get what we can
out of them for ourselves, but to labor
in them for Him. As Christ has His
work, we, too, have ours; as He re
joiced to do His work, we must re-
joice in ours also. The end of the
things is the test.
It was our Lords rejoicing in His
last solemn hour that He had done
the work for which He was sent. 81
have glorifed Thee on EARTH, He saws
in His prayer; Il have finished the
work which Thou gavest me to do
1t was ST. Pauls consolation also: Il
have fought the good fight; have fin.
ished the course; have kept the
faith"
We We're created that we might
serve God; if we have His gifts, it is
that we may glorify Him; if we have
a conscience, it is that we may obey
it; if we have the prospect of heaven
It is that we may keep it before US;
II we. have Light, that we may follow
Il; II we have grace. that We may save
ourselves by means of il. Alas alas!
for those who die without fulfilling

"Rls TOMB SHALL BE GLORIOUS

1t is said that dead men tell no
tales. They surely influence no opin-
ions, cure no human sorrow, inspire
no great movements. The vigorous
march of the living bids them aside.
Impious men at their death often
provide that at least their ashes shall
be free from taunt. So they have
them scattered to the ocean and the
winds. This is vanity. not victory.
Soon even the most famous are for
gotten. The marble may indicate
their hiding place; but even friends
will forget them; their enemies exult
over them, and the clod make free
with them.
How different with the Master. De-
stroy His bodily temple, guard and
seal His tomb, make every provision
against His return, and, 10! at the ap-
pointed time the stone rolls away, cor
ruption is affrighted and Jesus is

God and man.
In His name and by His power mis-
cradle fishermen shall invade the halls
of learning, give a new turn to human
affairs, and transmit to posterity the
one only abiding impulse of faith and
hope and love. Il
Above all He shall possess the hui
man soul; for, the Saviour goes be-
yond mere intelligence. He reaches
to mans center-self; to demand of
tender years or sapless age the sacri-
fee. OF. every inclination; to convert
that self from evil to good, from pride
to humility. from lust to chastity,
from pleasure to modification. from

their mission; who were called to be
holy, and lived in sin; who were called
to worship Christ and who plunged
into this giddy and unbelieving' world;
who were called to fight, and who re-
manned idle.
Alas! for those who have had gifts
and talents, and have not used, or
have misused, or abused them; who
have had wealth, and have spent it on
themselves; who have had abilities,
and have advocated what was sinful,
or ridiculed what was true. Alas! for
those who never have attempted to
cleanse their hearts or to live in God S
sight.

Crusaders signalized this victory by
an indiscriminate massacre OF the
Moslem inhabitants, after which God
frey was elected king of Jerusalem.
In 1887, the city was taken by Sultan
Saladin, and from that day to this it
has remained in the hands OF the Mos
lens, with the exception of fifteen
years of Christian occupation, which
was ended in 1874 by its recapture by
wild Moslem tribes. In 1917 the
Turks obtained possession of Syria
and Egypt.

A CHRISTIAN HOME.

If you have a home, a Christian
home, where love is, thank God for it..
Thank Him every day you live and
every time you see the hopelessness
of. the multitude of men and women
in the world. Few indeed are the
causes for thankfulness that are
greater than real home. II God has
given you that, He has given you one
of His best gifts. Your praise to Him
for it should be coupled with the sort
of loving, helpful and considerate life
that makes home a happier place for
all its members.

TRY LOVE.

The weapons of love are stronger
than those of fear. Have you failed
by scolding? by chastisements? Try
love. If l think you want to scare
me, I am instantly on my mettle, and
/ resist. But if I so much as suspect
that you want to grasp my souls right
hand to lead me away from danger, !
am scared, indeed, but not by you or
your admonitions, rather by myself
and my sinfulness.

WANT SPACE AROUND
MIGRANTS KEPT CLEAR
Retailers at Meeting Take Steps TO
Have Ordinance on City
Statues Enforced.

Action to have autos keep away
from fire hydrants in the business
section was begun at a meeting of
the retailers bureau, held Tuesday
noon at the Oliver hotel. 1t was de-
cided TO request the police 20 see
that the present city ordinance
against this practice was enforced.
The dangers Of having machines
parked near the hydrants were
pointed out by several speakers.
1t was stated that valuable time
would be lost in removing these ma
chimes in case of fire and that the
present practice would likely result
in greater loss in case fire broke out
in the business section.
The bureau also decided 10 make
further use of the credit bureau Of
the Chamber Of Commerce. A large
number of the citizens of the city
are listed in the bureaus files and
it is proving a great aid in solving
the retailers credit problems.
