CONSCIENCE IN WORK.

The policy of right doing cannot be
doubted. Every intelligent man and
woman must see. that in nearly every
instance it pays richly and fully for
whatever labor or self-sacrifice it may
involve, and in the few cases where
they cannot see this result most of
them have sufficient faith in the law
to trust it. Yet, if this be the only
motive in action, it cannot be called
right doing in the best sense. That
which is done solely from the hope of
gain or advantage cannot be of the
highest type.
The habit of doing what we have to
do as well, as thoroughly, and as
speedily as possible, without imme-
date reference to it's probable or pos
sible effects upon ourselves, is one
which would of itself secure at once
the best success for ourselves and the
greatest good of the community. 1t
would settle many vexed questions
and solve many knotty problems. In
stead of this, the common course is
to consider closely the comparative
benefit that is likely to accrue to us
in return. There are all degrees of
this calculation, from the strictly just
to the grossly selfish. One man tries
to estimate the true worth of his
labor and performs it accordingly;
another gives as little work and
secures as large returns as possible,
and between these there is every
shade. But in all such reckonings
there is one important element left
out. No one can count up the value
of the labor which is both generous
and conscientious. Even it's money
value can never be calculated.
The youth who enters business de-
termined to do all that comes to his
hands as well and as quickly as he
can, who is anxious to learn and
anxious to please, who never measures
his labor by his wages, but freely
gives all the work and the best work
in his power, is vastly more valuable
than the one who is always bearing
and fearing that he should give too
much in return. So the mechanic or
the clerk who, beyond his stated sal
airy, beyond even his obligations to
his employer or the demands which
public opinion could make upon him,
eXerts himself to make his work as
perfect as he can, and delights in it's
thoroughness and excellence, apart
from any private benefit it can render
him, has value which can never be
computed. 1t matters not what the
work be, whether it be done with the
spade of the laborer, the pen of the
clerk, the brush of the artist, or the
voice of the statesman. Such people
are. sought far and wide; there are
places always open to them.

the practice of family reading was

were old enough to read and, indeed,
even earlier, for both father and

literature by reading to the little ones
stories and poems. Later the chill

their father and mother, and in this
way a delightful family pastime made
the evenings very happy for all.

from the beginning. 1t was an indis-

HUMAN SIDE OF THE PRIEST.

In her recent volume of reminis-
cences, 'The Middle Years. Kathar
inc lyman writes thus of her clerical
friends:
There is no such everlasting boy
as the priest. He gives up the things
that sweeten life for other men. He
has the loneliness as the old saints
used to put livery often a heart
breaking malady. On the other hand,
he keeps the heart of a boy. There
is no such place for jests and laugh
ter as the community rooms of the
orders, and the diocesan colleges to
which their students return from time
to time like happy school boys. They
are always laughing at each other,
playing FRANKS on each other, telling
sly stories of each other. If you are
lucky enough to be in their confidence
you enjoy golden humor, a humor
without malice. One of my hap
piest memories of my English life is
of the priests and our friendships
with them. In England, that land of
converts, the priest suffers from be-
ing placed on a pedestal, where he is
most uncomfortable. He is always
the Father and treated as though
he were the Grand Llama. Those
good people never understand the
human side ofthe priest. =. think
no greater kindness can be done than
to receive a lonely priest into the
family life in which he can be per-
fectly at his ease. A priests friend
ship is a deeply touching thing
Where he bestows it he gives of
necessity-he, the man of no ties
more than those with many ties can
return him.
/ There are people in this country
who do not understand "the human
side of the priest either but for quite
another reason. A mission priest re-
ports that the population of a certain
portion of our Southland, on seeing
him for the first time, actually looked
for the historic hoofs and horns.

IN THE CHRISTIAN HOME.


5 At a mission to married men an
eloquent preacher recently took the
Christian home as the theme of his
sermon. eff you and are good men
today, wly?" he asked his audience.
Because we had good fathers. They
had their defects, shortcomings, fail
ings, weaknesses, but withal,. they
were sterling men. They were men
of honor, they were men of high char
acter, men of kindness and considera-
ton. men of endearing love. You
carry their memory wherever you go.
Now, is your home as it ought to be?"
1t is not enough for the head of a
family to supply shelter and food
and furniture. Material things do
not make home. The word means
vastly more, as this preacher proceed
ed to show:
Home means the union of man and
woman where the hottest of natural
affections dwell. What the priest is

THE ROSARY OF LIFE.

Have you ever-on your way home
from work-stepped into the church
to say your Rosary? How quiet it is.
). How easy it is to pray, to pour
out ones heart in supplication or
Thanksgiving. How much, alas!# in
supplication and how little in thanks
/ giving!
Has it ever occurred to you that
the Rosary is very much like life? The
mysteries, Joyful, Sorrowful and
Glorious, may be likened to youth,
maturity, and old age. In youth, all
things are bright and full of promise.
There is the Annunciation, the Visi-
tation, and the Nativity. The first
hint of sorrow is found in the presen-
tation; the prophecy of Simeon; and
the loss of the Child Jesus. Yet, as
in youth, the sorrow was soon for
gotten in the awe of the redemption
and in the joy of restoration.
In maturity we realize that the
world is battlefield and the cares of
life press heavily upon us. Each
heart has its own .Gethsemane, and
it prays that tho 'sChalice may
pass away" but how few of us say
with our dear Lord: Nevertheless,
not as will, but as Thou wilt" Are
we not scourged by passions and the
frailties of our poor human nature;
with the sting of everyday trifles
whose very smallness makes them
harder to bear? Does not conscience
crown us with thorns when it makes
us realize how sinful, weak and I'M
faithful we have been? Each one car
ries daily cross beneath which we
fall many times. And have we not
some small share in Mary's anguish
on Calvary when we kneel at the
deathbed of our young ones?
In our old age we find our recon-
pense. We rise above worldly things.
We have borne the heat and burden
of the day, but now evening has come
we put aside the garments of folly
and ascend to the state where we are
worthy to receive. the gifts of the Holy
Ghost. Purified and sanctified, our
souls, like Our Lady's body, will be
assumed in heaven; and-our crown.
The days and years slip by; we pass
through Joy and sorrow; sorrow and
joy, telling each bead in the Rosary
of life until the weary soul is realized
and goes to it's account.
o blessed Rosary! Thou are dear to
all the world because thou art Our
Lady's own.
Rich and poor, learned and ignorant,
saint and sinner, find comfort in thy
beautiful prayers.

A SAINT FOR THE WEEK
3. PETER FAvRE.

Born A. D. 1906 of poor, Savoyard
shepherds, Peter, at his earnest re-
quest, was sent to school, and in after
years to the University of Paris. His
college friends were st. Ignatius of
Loyola and St. Francis Xavier. Igna-
titus found the young mans heart
ready for his thoughts of apostolic
ZEAL Peter became his first COM
panion, and in the year of England's
revolt was ordained the first priest of
the new Society of Jesus. From that
day to the close of his life he was
ever in the van of the Churcll's strug-
gle with falsehood and sin. Boldly
facing heresy in Germany, he labored
not less diligently to rouse up the dor
mant faith and charity of Catholic
courts and Catholic lands. The odor
of Blessed Peters virtues drew after
him into religion the Duke of Gambia.
Francis Borgis, and young student
of Nimeguen, Peter Canisius, both to
become Saints like their master.
The Pope, Paul III, had chosen blessed
Favre to be his theologian at the
Council of Trent, and King John III.
of Portugal, wished to send him as
patriarch and apostle into Abyssinia.
Sick and worn with labor, but obedi-
ent unto death, the father shastened
back to Rome, where his last illness
came upon him. He turned his
thoughts at once away from all other
cares to get his. soul ready for it's de-
parture. He died, though hardly forty,
as one would wish to die, in the very
arms Of his best friend and spiritual
father, ST. Ignatius.
One day when the Saint was going.
to hear the Lenten sermon in the court
chapel at Valladolid, "the porter, not
knowing me-" he tells us, did not ad-
nit me, and so, remaining outside the
door, l called to mind how often had
given free entrance into my soul to
vain thoughts and bad spirits, and had
refused it to Jesus, Who was knocking
at the door, and how badly Jesus
Christ was received everywhere by the
world. l prayed for myself and for the
porter, that the Lord might not make
us wait very long in purgatory before
entering heaven. Many other good
thoughts then came into my mind;
and therefore felt great affection for
that porter, who had occasioned me so
much devotion.

MAGMA cHARTA WON IN cATHo
Lie DAYS.


When an Englisfman thinks of lib
erty. he naturally thinks about the
Magma Charta.' That great charter
was the foundation of his liberty.
That charter was not the work of a
Protestant, or an atheist or a free
thinker It was won in Catholic days
when England was Catholic nation,
says the Catholic Record.
The first meeting held by the bar
ons to decide upon plan to secure
liberty from King John was held in
a Catholic church-St. Paul's Cathe-
dral in London, England. There was
no Anglican church in those days.
All over England there were Cath
Ollie churches, and the Holy Sacrifice
of the Mass was fact in the life of
every Englishmar. It was the Cath
olic Archbishop, Stephen Langton,
who addressed the barons at that
meeting. and produced before them
the charter of Henry |. It was this
same Catholic Archbishop who threat
ened King John with excommunica-
ton if he assailed his subjects by any
but due process of the law.

CATHOLICS IN SOCIETY.

The Catholic, moving in secular So
ciety should be as a breath of pine
or balsam in windy air, pervasive,
tonic, effectual, yet suggestive of it's
source rather than of itself. Just as
one is conscious at Bar Harbor or
in the Adirondacks of a sense of ply
steal refreshment which must be re-
ferred to the great trees and the
mountains, so one experiences, or
should experience in the presence of
a clear Catholic personality, a social
and spiritual influence, which, when
traced to it's source is found to spring
from Catholic belief and practice. No
other man conducts himself as does
the genuine Catholic, because no other
man is in possession of the full con-
text of Christian Revelation or the
complete code of Christian deport-
ment. Others enjoy at most only
some of the beautiful remnants of
these treasures.
There is not one dogma of the Cath
olic Church that does not react per-
fectly to the test of Teresa of the
Child Jesus, ito make Love more
loved" She prayed it, she advised it,
she went about singing it. Above all,
she flooded every act of her will and
body with it's supernatural sweetness.
She discovered, and would have
others discover in all her dogma of
the faith the source of that air of
pine and balsam which every truly
representative Catholic gives forth.
One may not be able to define this air
perhaps, but it peryades the true Cath
olics life like social perfume. A
simple example will illustrate how
true this is.
Practice of GentIeness.
Tourists frequently declare that
they have found the department of a
peasant nun or lay brother to sur
pass in actual correctness that of ex-
perienced attendance on courts. This
is not surprising. What Catholic
child is not instructed in court
etiquette? He has been a scholar in
the court of the Blessed Sacrament. To
be anything but reverent in the Royal
Presence with which he is so familiar
would be difficult to the point of en-
barrassment.
The habitual practice of gent1eness
in their places of worship becomes a
social asset in the lives of even very
lowly Catholics, and we often see what
is called a well-born child at dis
tinct disadvantage in this respect with
the orphan pupil of a Sisters school

self. 1t is suggested to young peo-
pie, for example, that loud and dis
orderly behavior is not so much vul-
gar as a sin against charity. It is an
infringement of the law binding us
to do all things with a view
to our neighbours comfort and con-
venience.

II. Human Faith-Divine Faith.

IL. Human Faith-Divine Faith.
y Objection 6 OF course we have to
depend on human faith; but we can
ascertain the truth of the assertion
made> But how can we ascertain di-
vine revelation? l have never seen
nor heard God; He never spoke to me-
Answer: But God has spoken to
Others and speaks to you through
them, his authorized organs. But of
the fact of Revelation and it's trust
Worthlness and it's unadulterated
transmission by this organ we can OBJ
tain full moral certainty. 1t is just
the end and aim of the science of
Apologetics, which does not rest so
much on truths of faith, but on logi-
cal and historical truths and proves
from reason the fact of Revelation and
the credibility of the divinely appoint
ed organs, especially of the Church.
From this follows that whatsoever
will not hear the Church, let him
be to thee as the heather and the
publican" (Matth. 1S:17).
That God has not spoken to YOU
in person should not surprise you, for
you will no doubt have experienced that
the ruler and law-giver of your coun-
try has not informed you in person
of the new laws he made and still
he expects you to keep them. He
has his magistrates and organs
through which he speaks to his sub
5ects. A common citizen would be
considered rather supplemented if he
would try to excuse transgression
by saying: THE laW-giver has not
personally informed me of this law"
IL. No Telegraph.
Objection: God can't speak at all
with us; there is no telegraph nor
telephone between heaven and earth
And how can we men obtain certain
ty that He speaks to us?
Answer: The matter is by far sim
pier than you think. The fact is that
God Himself came on earth in the
form of man, proved by evident mira
cles that He was God, spoke then to
man without telephone and wires and
took care that His teaching was de-
livered to us truthfully.
furthermore, God, as the supreme
spirit, who created all other spirits,
can communicate His ideas to others
either by internal enlightenment or
by means of pictures and visions.
Thus He did with the prophets and
then testified to their doctrines by
signs and wonders.
