THE LITTLE FLOWER.


Sometimes I find myself saying to
the Holy Virgin: do you know, o
cherished Mother, that l think myself
more fortunate than you? I have you
for Mother, and you have not, like me,
the Blessed Virgin to love You
are, it is true, the Mother of Jesus,
but you have given Him to me, and
He, from the cross, gave you to us
as our Mother, SO we are richer than
you. Of old it was your desire that
you might be the little handmaiden of
the Mother of God; and I, poor little
creature, l am not your servant, but
your child; you are the Mother of
Jesus and you are my Mother"

The POPE AS EXECUTOR OF
cHRlsT's WILL.

The Pope is the executor of the last
will and testament of Christ That is
his exclusive occupation. He stands in
the place of Christ to explain for us
the will of Christ.
No executor in the world can change
a syllable of the last will and tesla
ment of testator. He can neither add
to it, nor subtract from it, nor change
its meaning. It must stand for all
time just as the testator made it.
So also the Pope cannot add one
syllable to the doctrines contained in

ever after they wore white ring

charmed life that they were forever

IN.rHE FIELDS WITH GOD.

The little cares that fretted me,
4 lost them yesterday
Out in the fields above the sea,
Among the winds at play.
Among the lowing of the herds,
And rustling of the trees,
Among the singing of the birds,
And humming of the bees.
The foolish fears of what might pass,
/ cast them all away
Among the clover-scented grass,
Among the new-mown hay,
Among the husking of the corn,
Where Growsy peoples nod.
Where i'll thoughts die and good are
Out in the fields with God.
