So urgent was your heart to make
it known. t
Though years have passed since then,
do not despair;
The Lord will answer you sometime,
somewhere.
Unanswered yet? nay, do not say I'M
granted,
Perhaps your part is not yet wholly
done.
The work began when first your
prayer was uttered,
And God will finish what He has
begun.
If you will keep your incense burn
ing there,
His glory you shall see, sometime,
somewhere.
Unanswered yet? Faith can not be
unanswered;
Her feet were firmly planted on the
rock. 81
Amid the widest storms she stands
undaunted,
Nor quails before the loudest
thunder shock.
She knows Omnipotence has heard
her prayer,
And hopes it will be done, sometime,
somewhere.

CONFESSION AND CHASTITY.

The late Colonel Higginson, in
some of his writings, has this pass
age:
1.-The Rev. Horatio Wood, who was
for more than half century city
missionary at Lowell, and who
watched the whole change from
American to Irish factory girls, told
me that in one respect it brought
distinct moral improvement; the
ignorant Irish girls were more uni
formly chaste than the Protestant
farmers daughter whom they super
seeded. Now the French Canadians
have replaced the Irish; but a Protes-
tant physician of great experience,
whose practice included several
large manufacturing villages, almost
wholly French, told me that he had
never known an illegitimate birth to
occur there"
Experienced observers among Cath
olics concur in the opinion that the
influence of the confessional has
much to do with the purity of the
Irish and the French Canadians.
Though they are religious people
they are probably not without the
natural temptations of other races
and creeds; but this moral institu
ton of the Church safeguards them
from danger. If a people, in whose
religious life the confessional is sc
| large a factor, thus evince superior
| purity and chastity, how absurd are
the anti Catholic stories about priests
nuns and the confessional. The very
people who cherish this institution
and who support converts would be
| the first to be shocked if their insti
tutions were anything but good ant
! wholesome. Here we have case il
l which we can apply the Biblical say
ing: by their fruits We shall know
| them" ,@

HISTORY OF MEXICO.
BY Eber Cole Byam.
PART XIV.


What is Mexican CONCESSION" and
who are the "pernicious spectators ?"
Easy enough. Right away you raise
your hand, for here is question on
which you have been more or less in
formed on high authority-although
the authority traces it's utterances to
socialistic sources.
The Mexican ''concession,' you per-
haps will say is a monopoly, special
privilege, sold by some venal Mexican
official-of the opposing faction of
course-for a money consideration,
and the ''pernicious Speculation" is the
horrid American capitalist who.
makes the purchase, and therefrom
enjoys an ill-gotten profit on his
nefarious investment, to the grievous
hurt of the poor Mexican masses, y
who are thereby made poems or
Slaves" etc., etc. Perhaps your an
swer would not be stated in just these
words, but you will doubtless agree
that they express your understanding
of the matter more or less accurately.
1t is, Furthermore, taken for granted
that these "pernicious spectators" are
ever seeking to embroil the United
States in war with Mexico, that they
may be protected in their reprehensi-
BILE enterprises. The very fact that an
owner of property should want law
and order is suspicious, and the
further fact that the value of his prop
erty would be automatically increased
with the enforcement of law and order
| is evidence ipso facto of the base
Interior motive in wanting protection
to life and property. The Americans
all went to Mexico anyway for no good
to Mexico and they should be driven
out of Mexico and back into the United
States, from which they never should
have gone in the first place. They
were all Capitalist adventurers, who
sought to enslave the Mexioans and
rob them of their mines, their oil, etc.
That's about the idea, is it not You
will doubt less say ssEes,' and your an

A SAINT FOR THE WEEK
ST. LUKE.

st. Luke, physician at Antioch
became a convert of st. Paul,
and afterwards his fellow-labor-
er. He is best known to us as the
historian of the New Testament.
Though not an eyewitness of our
Lords life, the Evangelist diligently
gathered information from the lips
of the Apostles, and wrote, as he tells
aus, all things in order. 1t is the Cos
pei of mercy and redemption through
the Precious Blood; and as st.
Mark wrote under the influence of ST.
Peter, so st. Luke seems everywhere
to be animated by the mind and heart
of the Apostle of the Gentiles. The
Acts of the Apostles were written by
this Evangelist as a sequel to his
Gospel, bringing the history of the
Church down to the first imprison-
ment of ST. Paul at Rome. The hum
BILE historian never names himself,
but by his occasional use of 1--WE"
for "they" we are able to detect his
presence in the scenes which he de-
scribes.. We thus find that he sailed
with st. Paul and Silas from Troas
to Macedonia; stayed behind appar-
emily for seven years at Philippi,
watering where the Apostle had plant
ed and lastly, shared the shipwreck
and perils of the memorable voyage
to Rome. Here his own narrative
ends, but from st. Pauls Epistles we
learn that st. Luke, whom he affec-
tionately terms "the most dear ply
sician," was his faithful companion
to the end He died martyrs death
some time afterwards in Achaia.
The emblem of St.. Luke in the
vision of Ezechiel is the OK, the
animal of sacrifice. The Fathers of
the Church saw special fitness in
this, for in the fourfold picture of the
life of Christ, drawn by the Evange-
lists, it is the priesthood of Jesus
and His shedding Of blood for sinners
that characterize this Gospel The
opening scene is the sacrifice of the
priest Zachary, now about to make
way for the sacrifice of the new law.
st. Luke alone mentions the circum-
cision, the first blood-shedding He
alone describes the sweat of blood in
the agony of the garden. The para
bles which he has preserved breathe
the same spirit, and, like those of the
Prodigal Son and the Good Samaritan,
paint for us pictures of the wounds
inflicted by sin, and the tender heal
ing mercy of the Physician of our
souls.

UNDERTAKES


States, the United States geological
survey has speedily progressed with
this part of its work until topogra-
phic maps of 40 per cent of the coun-
try are now published, besides maps
for large areas in Alaska and Hawaii.
Extensive areas have also been COW
cred by geologic maps, and all the
work from the beginning of the field
survey to the printing of the finished
map is done by this government bu-
reau.
Other activities of the survey are the
classification of public lands, the an
nual collection of mineral statistics OF
the United States, and investigations
of the nations water resources, all in
volving the publication of scientific
technical reports containing over 20
900 pages annually.
During the last thirty years over
$15,000,0 900 has been spent by the geo
logical survey in geologic and topo
graphic surveys in the United States.

DO YOUR PART.

1t is said that once when Sir Mich
ael Costa was having a rehearsal with
a vast array of performers and hun
dreds of voices, as the mighty chorus
rang out with the thunder of the or
gan, and roll of drums, and ringing
horns, and cymbals clashing, some
one man who played the piccolo far
away up in some corner, said within
himself; I'm all that din it matters
not what / do" and so he ceased to
play. Suddenly the great conductor
stopped, flung up his hands and all
was still-and then he cried aloud:
Where is the piccolo?" The quick
ear missed it, and all was spoiled be-
cause it failed to take its part.
o my soul, do thy part with all thy
might! Little thou mayest be, insig,
pifcant and hidden, and yet God

GOOD LOSERS.

He who can lose and still retain
his courage is admired by the whole
world, but there are two kinds of
good losers. There is the venture
some sort of person who throws him
self into some business or enterprise,
with the zest of an adventurer, willing
to play the game" and take the con-
sequences. If he wins, he will be so
much ahead if he loses, he has had
the excitement at least, and there are
plenty more adventures awaiting him.
Then there is the sincere, earnest
person who stakes his all on the full
fillment of some great ambition, or
on the development of some worthy
enterprise. His whole soul is in the
work, and he is devoted to the sue
cess of his enterprise. But one of a
myriad possible changes of fortune
passes by, and sweeps away the visi-
bic and material evidences of under
taking. He is dazed and heWildered,
but the invisible foundations of the
enterprise, laid deep within himself,
remain, and with no word of bitter
ness he braYely begins the work over
again.

SEEING OURSELVES.

One of the few recorded prayers of
a famous Scotch poet was to the effect
that it would be good thing to see
ourselves as others see us. He, how
ever, admitted that the results would
not be conducive to devotion. Many
another good thing, too, besides devo-
ton, would go with this true reflection
of ourself dissatisfaction, glowing
aaitobiographies comforting assu1<
