Activity, Presa9ln9 Big
Battle.

The British in the Somme region
Of France are keeping up their new
offensive against the Germans in
their efforts to push forward toward
Bapaume. Southeast Of Bapaume
along the Bapaume-Peronne road,
they have taken the highest point Of
Sailly-Saillesel hill and captured a
considerable number Of Germans and
ono machine gun. Along both sides
of the Ancre river west Of Bapaume
further progress has been made in
Guiding the capture of trench near
Grandcourt, where gain was made
Wednesday.
On the other parts of the front
in France and Belgium, the fighting
continues by means of artillery and
small attacks by raiding parties.
The Teutonic Allies in Macedonia
have shown activity along the entire
'front.' according to the latest French
official communication. This prob.
ably means that the intensive fight
ing Of some time ago will shortly be
resumed in this theatre.
On the eastern front comparative
calm prevails from The Balti" to the
line in Rumania. In the Carpathians

CITIZEN OF THE WORLD.

No longer of Him be it said
He hath no place to lay His head
In every land constant lamp
Flames by His small and mighty camp
There is no strange and distant place
That is not gladdened by His face.
And every nation kneels to hail
The Splendor shining through It's veil
Clustered beside the shouting street
Silent, He calls me to His feet.
Imprisoned for His love of me
He makes my spirit greatly free.
And through my lips that uttered sin
The king of Glory enters in.

A SAINT FOR THE WEEK,
ST. EPHREM, DEACON.

st. Ephrem is the light and glory of
the Syriac Church. A mere youth,
ne entered on the religious life at
Nlslbls, his native place. Long years
OF retirement taught him the science
or the Saints, and then God called
him to Odessa, there to teach what
ne had learned SO well. He defended
the Faith against heresies, in books
which have made him known as the
Prophet of the Syrians. Crowds hung
upon his words. His hymns won the
hearts of the people, drove out the
hymns of the Gnostic heretics, and
gained for him the title which he
bears in the Syriac Liturgy to this
day-"The Harp of the Holy Ghost"
passionate as he was by nature, from
the time he entered religion no one
ever saw him angry. Astounding in
labors till the last, he toiled for the
suffering poor at Odessa in the famine
OF 27S, and there lay down to die in
extreme old age. What was the Sc
cret OF success SO various and so COM
plete? Humility, which made him
distrust himself and trust God. Till
his death he wept for the slight sins
committed in the thoughtlessness of
boyhood He refused the dignity of
the priesthood. 81" he told st. Basil.
whom he went to see at the bidding
OF the Holy Ghost,-'I am that
Ephrem who have wandered from the
path OF heaven" Then bursting into
tears, he cried out, 20 my father,
have pity on sinful wretch, and
lead me on the narrow way"
Tears used to stop st. Ephrem's
voice when he preached. He trem-
bled and made his hearers tremble
at the thought of Gods judgments:
but he found in conjunction and
humility the way to peace, and he
rested with mistaken confidence in
the mercy of the Blessed Lord. 81 am
setting out he says, speaking of his
own death,-"I am setting out on a
Journey hard and dangerous. Thee,
o Son Of God, l have taken for nv
Vlaticum. When | am hungry | will
feed on Thee. The Internal fire will
not venture near me, for it cannot
bear the fragrancy of Thy Body and
Thy Blood"

lated many of them into Gaelic from
Latin books, containing the lore of the
great leeches of Greece and Rome.
These are sweet and profitable things
which have been often tested by us
and by our instructors.
Il pray God to bless those doctors
who will use the book; and lay it
as an injunction on their souls, that
they extract knowledge from it not by
any means sparingly, and that they
do not neglect the practical rules here
in contained. More especially do /
charge them that they do their duty
devotedly in cases where they re-
ceived no payment on account of the
poverty of their patients.
Let every physician before he be-
gins his treatment, offer up a secret
praper for the sick person, and i'm
plore the Heavenly Father, the Physi-
clan and Balm-Giver of all mankind,
to prosper the work he is entering
upon and to save himself and the pa
tient from failure"
Nothing better illustrates the atti-
tude of the medical profession in Ire
land towards the sick than the fore
going quotation. The beautiful Chris
| tan spirit of faith and of service
shows in the words of the worthy doc
tor of long ago.
There were hospitals all over the
country in ancient Ireland, under
Christian times, some managed by lay
Physicians and nurses attended these
hospitals. The old Brehon laws cover
the question of hospitals as we'll as
the other details Of Irish life. The
hospital had to have four doors for
ventilation. A stream of clear, pure
| water must run through the middle
of the floor Patients must be placed
| only in the beds designated for them
| by the physician. Noisy, talkative per-
sons must be kept away from the sick.
Those who could pay for service were
| expected to do so. Those who were
poor were treated free.
The present Workmen's compensa-
| ton law had a counterpart in ancient
Ireland The law provided that if one
wounded or made another i'll unlaw-
| fully, the responsible person had to
pay for the care and treatment of the
wounded or i'll person in the hospital,
including the fees of the physician
| and one or more nurses.
From these brief references to an
cient Irish medicine, one sees that the
profession of medicine in the Isle of
Destiny was an honorable one, that its
| noble spirit that has ever distinguish
ed the true physician, and that the
| doctors themselves were worthy men,
| to whom the present generation Of
physicians can look back with rever-
| ence and respect.

THE ROSARY IN IRELAND,

To my memory idly roaming comes a
vista of the cleaning
Comes breathing from the meadows
of the shamrock and the peat;
With the mellow freight cleaning, ]
am sitting now and dreaming
Of my lost and vanished youthtime
with its fancies fond and sweet
To my raptured ears come wooing ten
der notes like wooddoves cooling
I've a sense of fingers straying over
harp-strings sweet and low
All. the music that came winging was
far sWeeter than singing
When my mother said the rosary in
Ireland long ago,
Oh, how we'll do | remember when by
cracking log and ember,
And the family all were gathered from
the highland and the sea,
With her eyes appraised to heaven, in
a cadence low and even,
She called each decade, with it's sad
or joyful mystery,
L mere 'Nclc ClICl JUS Ill IUC SlOdIllIlg
and the childish eyes went
roaming
Through the shadows for the shapes
of angels moving to and fro
And ah! the fadeless beauty of that
scene of love and duty
When my mother said the rosary in
Ireland long ago,
| remember how in boybood, just a
bit advanced from childhood,
How | loved to clasp the beads her
gracious lips had pressed;
They were made Of Irish berries, they
were carven like to cherries,
There was healing in their starry
spheres and loneliness and rest,
When the curfews all were hiding and
the swans and waves were rid
ing,
And the stormWinds in the darkness
made a sound of grief and woe
All! the comfort that came creeping
ere the children fell to sleeping
When my mother said the rosary in
Ireland long ago!

EVERYBODY HAS A CROSS.

Everybody in this world has cross
of some kind to bear. 1t may be one
lying unseen in the silence of the
hearts profoundest depths; or it
may be one that is painfully visible
to all. To some God gives but one
great cross to bear; on others He
showers what seems like a multi
tude of smaller ones. But, great or
small, or one or many, the cross is
there, and must be carried.
Some bearers wreathe their crosses
with the sharp thorns of repining and
discontent others with the soft
blossoms of patience and hope. 1t
is largely matter of choice, resting
with the bearer; but it is the revela-
ton Of our experience that he finds
his cross lightest who has learned
bitter though the lesson is-to smile
with others at his own miseries.
