lips were these three calculations:
Il believe in God! l hope in God!
1 love God!" Over and over he would
repeat the words and the monks
smiled indulgently as they heard his
voice chanting over his three simple
prayers while he lay beneath tree
on the hillside watching his sheep, or
toiled, as he loved to toll, among the
flowers in the walled garden.
But one day an unusual stiffness
was noted, and going out to inquire
the cause they found the body Of the
lad lying amid the roses, with a
strangely wise smile on his still lips.
The monastery seemed very empty
and lonely to the monks when the
boy was laid to rest in the bare little
cemetery, and often one or the other
would steal away to pray beside the
grass-covered mound, SO no one Won
dered when they saw a lily growing
tall and stately. Each one thought
that one of the other brethren had
planted the flowers and so paid no
special heed until, the blossoms open
ing, they saw in golden letters clear
on the petals. Il believe. I hope
I love-" Then they knew that it was
indeed a flower of Paradise springing
from the innocent heart of the lad
and bearing for all to see and learn
the simple prayer with which he had
earned his place in the everlasting
garden of God.

LOYAL "SONNY."

Sonny" was very little lad the
first time that his mother led him up
the steps and into the great gray
church. He had watched the spar
rows in the ivy and the pigeons strut
ting on the broad stone lodges. 1t
was all very big and wonderful, but
it was Gods house and that explained
everything to Sonny. His mother had
said so, and she knew. The inside of
the church was even bigger and more
wonderful than the outside, Sonny de-
cided, as his mother took off his cap
and, dipping her fingers in the font,
signed his white brow with the sacred
sign. BLESS yourself, Sonny" she
whispered The boy raised a clumsy
little hand to forehead and shoulders,
and humping his breast heartily
looked at his mother for approval.
That was right. He was a good boy.
Well pleased, Sonny stared at the
beautiful things in Gods house-the
angels and the lovely Lady high above
the altar with such little boy as
Sonny in her arms. The lights and
the flowers chught his eye and the
masses of color pouring down from
the tall arch ed window above the
altar. And yes-there in the middle

to the world the knowledge that Utah
existed.
A movement is now on foot to give
more attention to the achievements of
Escalante and Anastasio Dominguez,
his first lieutenant. Catholic organiZa-
tons, notably the Knights of Column
bus, are exhibiting more interest in
the early history of Utah and Califor-
MIA.
That settlements were not made in
the many rich districts discovered in
Utah by the early priests is generally
attributed to the lack of priests and
men to make permanent communities
and the difficulties Of transportation
and communication

Nanny, nanny sobbed the child,
but a comforting hand pressed him
close and his glance fell on the taber-

through such very little door. And
even as he wondered he fell asleep.
The next thing he knew his mother
was leading him down the aisle and
stopped once more at the font to sign
him with the sacred sign. Nanny,

IN much evidence of the spiral charac-
ter OF other nebulae that the conclu-
sion seems forced upon us that practi-
cally all are in a state of rotation
and are hence supplying the centrifu-
gal force to throw off the rings which
roll themselves up into planets revolv-
ing about central suns.
When opportunity is given to look
directly down upon a nebula there re-
suits startling evidence of it's being
in rotation. There is no other way of
explaining it's remarkable details Of
structure. Some look like the propeller
blades of a motorboat; some are actu-
rings which are seen condensing at
certain centers, rolling themselves into
planets, henceforth to travel around
their suns. The great nebula in An
dromeda gives striking evidence that
it is working out another and great
er solar system than our own.
In short, it seems that in studying
the nebulae we are being admitted to
the very workshop of the universe and
are permitted to watch the actual proc
ess of turning out worlds. Nothing
in the heavens is better fitted to fill
the very soul with awe. AS in case of
the fixed stars our lives are too
brief, too feeble our eyes, to detect the
actual motion.

THE CHILDREN'S HOUR.
THE LILY IN LEGEND.

Among the Christian legends of the
lily We find the origin of the tiger
or turncap lily. All lilies were in the
beginning white and all held their
fair heads proudly erect, but on the
night in which Christ suffered in the
garden of Gethsemane some fell
from grace. When the other flowers
became aware of his agony, they with
cred away with sorrow and pity. Only
one lily was Indifferent, and. when
those three bitter hours had passed,
still Haunted her spotless beauty in
the light of the moon. The soldiers
came and as Jesus was led out from
the garden of Olives he paused for a
moment beside the tall stem covered
with the white flowers; for a mo-
ment he gazed on them in plying re-
prOach for their blindness and their
hardness of heart, and touched by
the love and mercy in his eyes they
hung their heads and blushed; so, to
this hour, the descendants of this
proud plant look down, and shame
dyes their petals.
From the middle ages comes an
other religious legend of the lily
There was once, we read, great
monastery in the northern Pyrenees
where the monks devoted their lives
to study and to charity. And it came
to pass that one day they found a
woman dead on the slope of the hills,
with little baby boy clasped, still
sleeping, in her arms Filled with
pity, they took the child home to the
abbey and gave him the tenderest
care. Years went by and the baby
grew to be a big, strong boy, fair
of face and form, childlike, innocent
and sweet, but no labor, either on his
own part or his teachers, could en-.
able him to learn. Even the prayers
and psalms which he had heard from
his infancy seemed to make no i'm.

UTAH DISCOVERED BY PRIEST.

Who discovered Utah?
Ask the question of the first dozen
men you meet on the streets and it is
safe to say that eleven of them, if not
the entire dozen, would promptly an
swer, why Brigham Young"
But the statement is erroneous. 1t
was Brigham Young and the Mormon
pioneers who first settled in Utah, but
Father Siivestre Velez de Escalante, a
Franciscan priest, was the first white
man to set his eyes on Utah. And the
date was not 1S47, the year of the Nor
mon pioneers. 1t was on August %,
1875, a little more than a month after
our forefathers had signed that immor-
tai declaration, that he and his little
band of followers first saw the placid
waters of Utah Lake.
Until recently the inclination has
been to regard Brigham Young as the
states discoverer, but Father Esca-
lante is now being more generally rec
ogniZed and recently organized club
of Catholic men has been named in his
honor.
There is, however, but a meager
store of information obtainable as to
the Escalante expedition and it lacks
the wealth of detail and association
which surround, for instance, the ex-
petition of Brigham Young, with pre-
served reminis cences which make him
and his followers seem more like liv-
ing individuals than historical charac.
ters.
Of the Escalante expedition the late
Bishop Seaman said in his work on
1.-THE Catholic Church in Utah:
"Of these also were the Franciscan
priests, Silvestre Velez de Escalante
and Anastasio Dominguez, who left
Santa Fee July 20, 1776, for the purpose
of exploring the land and discovering
direct route to Monterey, in Alta
Cal.
"They explored portions of Colorado
entered Utah, and on the 23d day oil
August, first of white men, looked out
upon the placid waters of Utah Lake
They charted the newly explored land
described the tribes they had visited
the botany of the country, named the
rivers and mountains and bequeatheG
to us an accurate map of the country
as it then was.
"They did more. On their return tt
Santa Fe in January, TIT, they wrote
out a history of their expedition which
carried them to the Grand Canyon o.
Arizona and to the Zuni and Hopi vii
lagos. They described Salt Lake, gave
the names of the tribes living on its
shores, and left to the people of Utal
today an invaluable treatise on the
habits and manners of the Indians
around Utah and Salt Lake.
Considerable space is devoted to the
Escalante expedition in Bancroft's His
tory of Utah, and from that and the
| journal kept by Father Escalante cal
be gathered a fairly accurate account
of the expedition which first brough

WORLDS IN THE MAKING.

We look today on the things of a
century, millennium, ago. Light
travelling at the rate of 10000 miles
a second requires more than four
wears to come from the nearest star,
perhaps thousands and tens of thou
sands of years from the farthest;
hence in every case they are not
what is, but what was.
Thousands of nebulae have been dis
covered in the heavens; The spiral
pattern of some few nebulae has long
been confirmation of the theory that
they are the real beginners of solar
system. But there has recently come

when he walked up the aisle with her,
but he was still child at heart-still
loyal to the impressions of early
years.
''Tll come back to be married here,
mother" he said, when fortune beck
oned him to a distant city. There's
no other church in all the world like
the Church of the Sacred Heart
And nothing that he saw in great
cities made him take back his words.
Nor was he unworthy of his training.
John on the threshold of manhood was

made the sign of the Cross so clumsily
long ago. He took his place among
men, but the world could not spoil him.

had gone to a fairer sanctuary. His
STORY was soon told. He was one of
the few, "the salt of the EARTH rough

And thus it came to pass that one
morning the loyal parishioner was
borne through the doors of the great
gray church and down the aisle to
rest before the high altar where his
old pastor waited to offer up the Holy
Mass for the repose of his soul. There
among his friends of other years-the
saints and angels, the lovely Lady
with the Holy Child, and poor God"
he was at home i'm his Fathers house.

LOYALTY, BIG MALAY VIRTUE.

The Malay cities of Malacca and
Singapore have grown away from their
birthright of old native ways and Gus
toms. They have taken on a charac-
ter peculiar to themselves that is
unique and interesting, but they are
not at all typical of the federated
states or of the peninsula as a whole.
An inland trip of some length is al
most necessity for anyone who
would get a glimpse of the Malay life
Such trip would take the traveller
to any one of a score of villages or
little cities, each as like the next as
one pea is like the other, save for
some detail of river, jungle or hill.
In such untraveled neighborhoods the
Malay remains very much as the Lord
and his environment have made him.
He is a different individual from
any one else in the Orient. He has
neither the servility nor the Difference
natives of the near East, nor the in
dustry and culture of China and Japan.
He is an independent, cratic, shift
less, proud, indolent individual, fig
ure that lends itself readily to ro-
nance, a victim of a thousand super
stitions, with little culture and a con-
siderable amount of poise and self
! possession.
The Malay is romantic because his
virtues are the virtues of feudal So
ciety. He is brave, enduring, courteous,
reserved and hospitable. He has a
real appetite for danger and adven-
ture; nothing lifts him out of his habit
ual sloth and dullness so quickly as
an undertaking that has spice of
peril about it. Under such circum
stances he will prove cool and faithful
as long as there is life in his body
Loyalty he counts as chief of the quail
tiles to be admired

No more on life's parade shall meet
That brave and fallen few;
On flames eternal camping ground
Their silent tents are spread,
And glory guards, with solemn round,
The bivouac of the dead.
No rumor of the foes advance
Now swells upon the wind;
No troubled thoughts of midnight
haunts
OF loved ones left behind;
No vision Of the morrOw's strife
The warriors dream alarms;
No braying horn nor screaming fife
At dawn shall call to arms.
Their shivered swords are red with
rust,
Their plumed heads are bowed;
Their naughty banner, trailed in dust,
Is now their martial shrOud.
And plenteous funeral tears have
washed
The red stains from each brow,
And the proud forms, by battle gashed,
Are free from anguish now.
The neighing troop, the flashing blade,
The bugles stirring blast;
The charge, the dreadful cannonade,
The din and shout, are passed.;
Nor wars wild note nor glorys peal
Shall thrill with fierce delight
Those breasts that nevermore may feel
Tho 10 Otura of tho fobt
Like the fierce northern hurricane
That sweeps his great plateau,
Flushed with the triumph yet to gain,
Came down the stirred foe.
Who heard the thunder of the fray
Break Ger the field beneath,
Knew we'll the watchword of that day
Was Victory or DEATH
Long had the doubtful conflict ragged
Ger all the stricken plain,
For never fiercer fight had waged
The vengeful blood of Spain:
And still the storm of battle blew,
Still sWelled the cory tide;
Not long our stout old chieftain knew
Twas in that hour his stern command
Called to martyrs grave
The flower of his beloved land,
The nations flag to save.
BY rivers of their fathers gore
His first-born laurels grew,
And we'll he deemed the sons would
pour
Their lives for glory, too.
Full many a norther's breath has
swept
Ger Angostura's plain
And long the plying sky has wept
Above it's mouldered slain.
The ravens scream or eagles flight,
Or shepherds pensive lay,
Alone awakes each sullen height
That frowned DER that dread fray.
Sons of the dark and bloody ground
Ye must not slumber there,
Where stranger steps and tongues re-
sound
Along the needless air.
Your own proud lands heroic soil
Shall be your filter grave;
She claims from war his richest spoil
The ashes OF her grave.
Thus meath their parent turf they
rest,
Far from the CORY field,
Borne to a Spartan mothers breast
On many bloody shield;
The sunshine of their native sky
Smiles sadly on them here,
And kindred eyes and hearts watch by
The heroes sepulchre.
Rest on, embalmed and sainted dead
Dear as the blood We gave;
No impious footsteps here shall trea(
The heritage of your grave;
Nor shall your glory be forgot
While fame her record keeps,
Or honor paints the hallowed spot,
Where valor proudly sleeps.
Yon marble minstrel's voiceless ston
In deathless song shall tell,
When many vanished age hath flow
The story how We fell.
Nor wreck, nor change, nor winter
blight,
Nor times remorseless doom,
Shall dim one ray of glorys light
That gilds your deathless tomb.
