THE ASsUMPTIoNISTs IN
GREECE.

ct is owing to the generosity of
American friends that our young
seminarians have been able to keep
on with their studies"
I These words were written by FIR L.
Gayraud, A. A., who has seen hard
times in Athens since the beginning
of the war. Greece has been torn with
internal disorder, and the seminary
conducted at Athens by the Assump-
tionists has had hard work to con-
tinue.

Turkey, where he has charge of the
Catholic enterprises, and also in Tur-
key are five other Assumptionists.

In Greece the Assumptionists found
refuge and have been given charge of
a college of the Latin rite. It is
greatly in need of help.

AN IDOL AT THE PRIESTS DOOR.

Our old people are a great consola-
ton to us. Last week, one of them
our good Odille-after receiving the
last sacraments left us for heaven,
where she will dntercede with God for
our little mission. i must tell you
something in connection with her,
that will prove to you once more how
superstitious are these negroes. Odille
had been a fetichest and when she
came to us she brought her idol The
Father who instructed her, after
speaking to her about God and
heaven, asked her to give up her IDOL
she consented rather willingly, saying
that she did not want to adore this
idol now that she was going to be a
child of God. The Father went away
shortly after. The good old woman
sent for the young man whose slave
she had been and begged him to take
her idol to the Father who had in
structed her; he consented. The good
priest not being at home when the
man reached his house, he put the
gourd containing the idol at the Fa-
theirs door, Very soon there was
great excitement among the negroes
of this mission; the first one who saw
the idol Immediately apprized his fell
lows and they all assembled 10
deliberate about the matter; they
came to the conclusion that the Fa-
Their must have harmed somebody as
the idol had been delivered to him.
So they made up their minds what
they must do; the cook said he would
leave-he would not cook for the
Father; 1--WE are all going to be
poisoned" The boys whom the
Father was instructing and who lived
with him, also wanted to run away,
believing that some great misfortune
was to come upon them. At the
height of the excitement the good
Father arrived on the scene; he ex-
planned the whole affair to them; and
all were treasured.

SHAM AND TRUE MoDEsTY.

Christian modesty is one of the
minor virtues, but in it's bearing on
personal purity and social morality ii
is most important. Christian modesty
1 is the natural guardian of personal
purity. 1t may be made UP of trifles
but in its aggregate result it. is no
trife.
Christian modesty has to do with
outward behavior and appearances,
but, if it is merely superficial and not
prompted by the desire for personal
purity, it is hypocrisy.
True Christian modesty is sincere.
1t is based on sef-restraint and hui
mility. 1t does not aim at mere out
ward effect, and yet it produces it un-
mistakably. A truly modest person is
recognized readily.
Some persons observe certain social
conventions punctiliously, but they
dress and dance and act in a manner
that reveals animal lust and lewdness.
There is sham sort of modesty
that regards anything as proper if
only lot of people do it. Unfortu-
nately everybody sins, but that fact
does not make sin less revolving be-
fore God.
1t is sham modesty that causes a
woman to excuse lewd dress or rather
undress on the score of style or
fashion. Some women dress in such
bad taste as to attract the lust of men
rather than their love and respect.
Christian modesty goes farther than
worldly etiquette. 1t does not show
Off in order to win the attention of
others. 1t does not make vulgar dis
play of more value than personal
worth and character.
Christian modesty does not seek un-
deserved honor or honor grounded only
on self-praise. It is a characteristical-
ly American folly to- regard mere big
ness as true greatness, or mere wealth
as social nobility.
Finally, Christian modesty is a
moderating influence affecting even
our pleasures and relaxations. Change
and relaxation are necessary to every
one and the true Christian is no long
faced apostle of gloom. He knows
his duty, to add not only to the wealth
of the world but also to it's beauty
and to it's joy. But he avoids both
the extreme of combining every minute
of his life to nervous labor and the
extreme of spending the greater por-
ton of his time in frivolous pleasures.

Another plea comes from the Solo,
mon Islands. Rev. E. M. Babonneau,
s. NJ, states that the mission of Wa
noni, founded seven years ago, now
has 430 adherents cared for by two
European apostles. AT the principal
school there are thirty boys who are
learning reading, writing and Chris
tian Doctrine. When they are suffi-
GENTLY taught they will return to their
homes to act as auxiliary catechists.
The newly converted, when coming to
church for the first time, receive
gift of a piece of calico. The poor
creatures are SO wretchedly clothed
that they are not fit to appear in a
place of worship. Offerings to FIR.
Babonneau will help to educate the
boys and to clothe new Christians.

A SAINT FOR THE WEEK
ST. JOSEPH cALAsANcTIUs.

st. Joseph Calasanctius was born in
Arragon, A. D. 1906. When only five
years old he led troop of children
through the streets to find the devil
and kill him. He became a priest,
and was engaged in various reforms,
when he heard voice saying, Go
to Rome and had vision of many
children who were being taught by
him and by company of angels
When he reached the Holy City, his
heart was moved by the vice and ig-
norance of the children of the poor
Their need mastered his humility,
and he founded the Order of Clerks
Regular of the Pious Schools. He
himself provided all that was neces-
sary for the education of the children,
receiving nothing from them in pay
ment, and there were soon above a
thousand scholars of every rank I'M
der his care. Each lesson began with
pra.sc- Every half hour devotion was
renewed by acts of Faith, Hope and
Charity, and towards the end of
school-time the children were instruct
ed in the Christian doctrine. They
were then escorted home by the mas
tiers, so as to escape all harm by the.
way. But enemies arose against
Joseph from among his own subjects.
They accused him to the Holy Office,
and at the age of eighty-six he was
led through the streets to prison. At
last the Order was reduced to sins
pie congregation. 1t was not restored
to it's former privileges till after the
Saints death. Yet he died full of
hope. my work." he said, was done
solely for the love of God"
Soon after the Pious Schools were
founded, a bishop was passing by a
garden in Rome when he heard the
voice of little child reciting an act
of contrition. He turned, and saw
the child's father hanging from tree
in imminent peril The attendants
rescued the father; and then the bish-
OPP asked the child where he had
learned the prayer. The boy said
that he went to the Pious Schools,
where he was taught in every danger
to make an act of contrition to, God.
Thus did his children console St.
Joseph amid the martyrdom which he
suffered for their sake.

miracles out of religion" says with
touching frankness the unbiased" in.
fidel enemy of Christ, David Strauss
(f1S74) in his infamous Life of
Jesus, p. 19:
The modern inidel considers it a
scientific passport if he shrugs his
shoulder at miracles or has a plying
smile for such superstition" If evil
dence of the wonderful becomes too
strong, he observes a solemn silence
or retreats behind the ignoramus eve
do not know palisade, or he takes
his refuge to such desperate "ex-
plantations" which an infidel gave to a
priest: Il suppose you have a double
consciousness: the scientific con-
seriousness forbids you to accept mira
cles, but the other one permits it,
Against such arguments all logic
is in vain!

THE SACRED HEART.

On the subject of devotion to the
Sacred Heart, Cardinal Manning
wrote: tssAFst&
IF you love the Blessed Sacrament,
the Blessed Sacrament by It's own
light will teach you to know and love
the Sacred Heart; and the Sacred
Heart will open Itself, and will teach
us to know It's own character. We
shall know all it's love7-the love
which is from eternity to eternity;
the love ineffable, divine fervor, of
unspeakable human tenderness; the
Love that died for us. We shall
know, too, the commandment of that
Love when He was about to die for
us. And we shall learn not only His
love-, but also His patience; for He
abids in the midst of us. Sinners as
we are-He still dwells in the midst
of us in His humility, yelled, out of
sight, sighted, and disbelieved, passed
without a sign of recognition by the
multitudes that go by Him. There
He is, in His generosity, giving
away grace after grace. We become
bankrupt through our own fault and
sin; we go back to Him; He restores
to us the grace that we have lost;
more than this, He pours down upon
us even more grace than we have
wasted; for His generosity is mex
haustible. He does not break the
bruised reed nor 'quench the smok-
ing flax He waits for you. He has
waited for you from childhood and
in your youth and in your manhood;
in all your wanderings He has been
waiting for you still, trying to draw
you toward Him, that some day, at
last, you may come, to true repent
ance, and that some day before you
die you may be His disciple. And in
all this I see what l may call His
unsuspiciousness. Friends suspect
one another, they form rash judy
ments of one another, they are always
harboring hard thoughts of each
other; they draw to themselves pic
lures and characters of other men
and seldom in their favor. How does
the Sacred Heart deal with us? He
knows everything that is in us, and
yet He speaks to us with the same
Interchangeable love and the same
unalterable patience as if we were
within altogether what we show our
selves without. What perfect love,
then, is this divine and human love
of our Master!s
z IS ~ 80
'sBut if we love Him, we must bear
fruits that are like Him. The fruit
of the Spirit is charity, joy, peace
(Gal. ". 22).$ These are thesfruits of
the Sacred Heart. The Heart He
bears to us we must bear to our
neighbors. Our whole mind must be
to our neighbor what His mind is to
us. And to this we must add a love
of the cross, for that was the crown
ing perfection of the Sacred Heart.
1t is not easy to love contradictions,
sights, sorrows, anxieties, failures,
vexations. We who murmur and
repine and strive and fret all the day
long, if anything goes wrong, call
ourselves disciples of the Sacred
Heart, and yet we have not as much
as the will to bear the cross, much
less to love it. We must learn to be
forgiving, to be patient, to be severe
against the least sin, not in others
we must bear with them in charity.
