Gunboats were originally de-

But some folks wear them or
their feet.
The gunboat Is a bad thing TO
get mixed up with. either on

A WRONG NOTION OF GOD.

A great many good people live in con
slant disquiet of heart because they
have wrong notion of God, says
Rev. Edward f. Garesce, S. j., in the
Queens Work. From reading and
hearing of Gods justice and the ter
rors of His wrath, they picture Him
to themselves as forever offended at
them, sort of severe and eXacting
Father, hard to please and easy to
offend, with Whom it is almost i'm
possible to keep altogether on good
terms, and Who is rather on the look
out to find an opportunity of calling
us to order and giving us what we
deserve to-wit, thrashing of one sort
or another.
This is putting it rather badly OF
course. No one says these things to
himself in so many words but taking
into account the actions of men and
estimating their mental attitude, it toe
often comes to this, that they fea1
God much more than they love Him
and feel as though He had it in fol-
them in one way or another.
1t is enough to put this unconscious
attitude into words for us to see how
wrong and foolish it really is, and
what an injustice it does to our most
kind and loving Father Who is in
heaven. And yet, even after we have
confessed the folly of it and have
disowned it in word, it is no easy
matter to put it quite out of our heart
We are. so made up that we find it
much harder to believe in Gods love
than in His justice, and we realize
much more keenly that He is ready
to punish our offenses than we dc
that He is ready to forgive them, to
take us to His loving and fatherly
heart.

PRACTICE CONFESSION

The Catholic doctrine concerning
the sacrament of confession must be
full of consolation to those who can
believe it! Can believe it! Why, my
friend, do you not see that it requires
a greater stretch of faith to hope fol
pardon of your sins without confession
than with it? The one has in its
favor the plain words of the gospel
and the express authority of Christ
and the other has no ground at all tc
stand upon!
Net only do the 500,000,000 (whon

and practice confession, but the 100,
100000 Greeks, high-church Episco
palians, and all the Christian sects il

same. Until 400 years ago all Chris

WHEN THE BLESSED EUCHARIST
ENTERS YOUR HOME.

What every Catholic should know
in regard to the reception of the
Blessed Sacrament by sick person in
his own home:
First: The sick room ought to be
clean and well ventilated, the bed
provided with clean covering and the
patient made presentable
Second: A table ought to be placed
in the sick room near the bed in
such way that it may be seen by
the patient. Let the table be covered
with immaculate linen and upon it
placed crucifix between two wax
candles. There should be vessel of
holy water
Third: Let the candles be lit be-
fore the entrance of the priest into
the dwelling.
Fourth: The family should be pres
ent as far as possible during the adj
ministration of the sacrament and Of
fer their prayers for the sick person.
Fifth: Let there be placed on the
table glass of pure water and piece
of clean linen, and spoon. The
linen is to be put under the chin of
the sick person before he receives
The water may be given after the
reception.
Sixth: AS soon as the priest arrives
in the sick room with the Blessed
Sacrament, every one should kneel
until the sacred act is closed, unless
the patient has not yet gone to Con
fession. In this event the family
should, of course, leave the room, until
absolution is given.
Seventh: If time and the condition
of the patient permit, the preparatory
prayers for Holy Communion may be
recited by one of the attendants be-
fore the arrival of the priest.

A SAINT FOR THE WEEK.
ST. FELIX OF cANTALIcE.

st. Felix was born in 1913. His
boyhood and youth were spent in
keeping cattle and in the labors of
the fields. In these occupations he
was able to lead nearly solitary life,
and by continual prayer and much
penance reached a high degree of
contemplation. His greatest Joy was
to visit the Blessed Sacrament; and
often when he left his fiocks to go to
Mass, angels watched them till his
return. At the age Of thirty years,
hearing of the lives of the Desert
Fathers, he longed to initiate them,
and asked admittance as lay-brother
into the Capuchin Order He re-
doubled his prayers and thanksgiv-
ings, and added many austerities be-
yond the rule, walking barefoot and
wearing a shirt of iron links studded
night in prayer, but took little rest
wi1.l2 the Fathers recited Mathis, say
ing Jesus was not then alone. For
forty years he daily collected aims in
Rome, but his recollection was so I'M
broken that he often knew not who
had been his companion on his
rounds. st. Philip greatly loved
Felix, and when the two saints met
they would wish each other great SUI
ferings for God, or remain speeches.
with interior joy, and part again with
out word. 1t was by the advice OF
ST. Philip that st. Charles Borromec
induced Felix to revise the rules he
had drawn up for his Oblate Fathers
Felix expired, full of joy, in 1887.
ST. Felix always greeted others with
the words, 'Deo gratias;" he taught
the children he met to repeat them
and when they saw him they would
joyously cry, 'Deo gratias." He was
more generally known as the Brother
Dec Gratias than by his own name
He once perceived TWO gentlemen
fighting a duel; he called to them
from afar, "DeO gratias, my brothers;
say, both Of you, Dec gratias.' Ir
the heat of their quarrel they stopped
short, and, making the holy brothel
arbitrate' between them, sheathet
their swords and became excellent
friends. His last wish on his death
bed was that others should say Dec
gratias" for him when he could M
longer speak.

the silver bells are tinkling again in

goes on, the Divine Host is constant

there is offered in My name a clean

FAMILY PRAYER.

The good old-fashioned custom of
family prayer seems to be growing
rarer. There was time when the
whole family gathered at the appoint
ed hour to recite the Rosary. But
modern distractions have made inroads
into this most Christian devotion, so
that it is honored more in the breach
than the practice today, says the
Catholic Advance.
Family prayers used to be a COM
mon practice in good Catholic families
some years ago and the Rosary was a
familiar prayer. In our times parents
are so taken up with clubs, theaters,
teas, dances, etc, that they are fire.

lost it's attraction for them. The word
of the parents is scorned. If we seek

PARENTS WHO APOLOGIZE TO
THEIR CHILDREN.

Recently there have appeared in
papers in various parts of the coun-
try stories of children who ran away
from home, or who misbehaved in one
way or another, and before they would
consent to- return to the parental
roof insisted upon an apology from
their parents. Here, for instance is
a telegram from Portland In which a
young high school girl leaves home
and demands public apology from
her mother.

Maria Angelica, or the Life
Story Of a True Child
Of Mary.

Spain is beautiful country with
Vineclad hills and mighty rivers, with
palm and olive trees, and inhabited by
a noble race of men who combine the
traits Of several peoples in their ma
tiOnal character
Far down in sunny Andalusia, on
the banks of the Quadalquivir, stands
the beautiful old city of Seville, of
which travellers speak with the same
enthusiasm as they do of Naples:
See Seville, and die"
Not far from the old cathedral
which after ST. Peters, is the largest
church in the world, stands the
palace Of the dukes of T'serclaes. In
this palace was born about so years
ago the child whose short but beauti-
full life will be told in the following.
Like her mother, Donna Teresa, and
nearly all Spanish women, Maria had
dark black hair, dark eyes, and a
dark complexion. She was very
gOod-natured child, born, it would
seem, with spirit of meekneSs which
made her the natural peacemaker in
the little circle of her friends and
playmates. Among her brothers AL
fonso, three years her senior, was her
favorite and almost inseparable com.
paniOn. According to vow the
mother had made, the child was never
seen dressed in any colors but those
of the Blessed Virgin, white and blue
cip icot
ened the charm of her modest and
kindly appearance.
The most important event of hel
childhood was the reception of heI
First Holy Communion. With all the
zeal of her innocent heart she pre-
pared for the great day. On the eve
of the day she begged forgiveness
from every member of her family fol
anything that might ever have hurt
them. The father, who was a serious
man in all his ways, was SO touched
by the request that tears choked his
voice when he stopped to kiss his lit
tie girl and said: mo, Maria, yol
have never grieVed me; pray for me
child"
The morning of the happy day
daWned. For the first time Maria die
not wear white and blue, but only
snowy white, beginning with the white
silk shoes and ending with the white
wreath On her dark hair. The whole
family was present in the chapel OF
the palace when the little girl received
for the first time her Lord and Goo
in that holy joy and love which al
through her life never diminished.
Maria spent the day in quiet hap
piness. Several times she stole away
from the circle of her guests and went
back to the chapel in order to poul
out her grateful heart once more be
fore the tabernacle. Donna Teresa
more than anyone else, shared the
happiness of her daughter. She gave
her as a souvenir a pair of beads anG
a little prayer book, on the first page
of which she wrote the following
verses which denote both her love anC
her piety:
To Maria on the Day of Her First
Holy Communion.
How fair my child, you look today,
Your cheeks both red and white,
So like blooming rose of May,
So full of fragrance and of light.
Each beaming eye still like a star,
That shines from midnight sky;
Oh, may their brightness never mar
For sin the throbbing sigh.
