THE IMMACULATE HEART
OF MARY.

The Intention recommended to
the members of the League Of the
Sacred Heart for the month Of
May is to spread a devotion to the
Immaculate Heart Of Mary. The
desire of the Holy Father is that
all Christians cultivate in a spe-
cial manner this Catholic devo-
ton.
Among all nations Of all times
the heart has ever been the SYM
Dol Of love. In the Blessed
Mother of God the heart was the
center Of all those emotions that
she experienced throughout her
life upon earth. Joy and sorrow
alternated continually In that
blessed heart, from the hour in
which an angel from heaven Wis
tied her to that sorroWful day
when the body of her dead Son
was once more clasped to her
bosom.
The wish Of the Holy Father,
however, seems to direct us to-
wards a devotion to the heart of
Mary in as much as it was immac-
ulate. Joy might exalt, sorrow
might rend that heart, but the
shadow of sin never drew nigh
to its Immaculate depths.
America has been dedicated to
the Immaculate Conception. Hence
the Intention for this month is
eminently suitable for our devo-
ton. At the present time, owing
to various conditions, the virtue of
purity seems in great danger of
I.shipwreck in many souls. The
causes for this lamentable condi-
ton are many. The prevalence
Of divorce, the absence Of religion,
uncleanness in social and public
life, all tend towards uprooting
that virtue which has ever been
prominently the heritage of
Catholic peoples. Many subjects,
that St. Paul placed in the cate
CORY Of those which should never
be mentioned among us, are today
glibly and brazenly discussed
from the platform, in the club,
and even within the confines of
the domestic circle.
Catholics, with their glorious
Christian tradition, cannot be too
much upon their guard in this
matter. Proximity to evil fire.
quently begets Indifference to its
ugliness, with the result that our
Catholic people often are in dan
ger Of being contaminated by the
vitiated atmosphere in which they
are obliged to live. Woe betide
them if they become not only wit
nesses to this moral filth, but also
promoters and disseminators
thereof. When the time arrives
that our boys and girls have lost
the power to blush at evil, the
death knell of purity has been
sounded in their hearts.
1t is, therefore, in order to urge
the cultivation of this angelic vir
tue in the hearts of all that oul
Holy Father presents to us the
image of Mary Immaculate. Emp
ty and vain are mere words o.
praise and admiration, unless they
are accompanied by sincere imi
tation in conduct.

The Denver knights Of ColuGl-
bus started a movement to abol-
ish the secular dissertation that is
marking Memorial day more and
more each year This holiday has
been set aside in memory of the
deceased men who have served
under the American flag, and it
will have a particular significance
this year because Of the number
of boys who have already given
their lives in the war. 1t was de-
termined to have a committee Sc
lected to call on Governor Julius
C. Gunter, for the purpose Of urg-
ing the people to forego secular
amusements, such as picnicS and
athletics on Memorial day, so that
the public mind would give the
proper attention to its heroic
dead.

According to some prophets,
there is to be after the war but
one religion that Of the service
of humanity without Church or
ritual. We need not be alarmed,
says the Pilot. Even in our own
time we have seen more than one
new religion disappear almost as
soon as discovered. This newest
of the the service Of human
ity, is good as far as it goes, but
it insists only on the command
ment, ''Thou shalt love thy neigh
Dor as thyself." 1t ignores the
first and greatest, "Thou shalt
love the Lord thy God" A re
ligion" that gives God the second
place or no place at all will not
last very long.

THE MONTH OF MARY.

One Of the oldest practices in
the Catholic Church is the devo-
ton to the Mother Of God.
Throughout the history Of the
race motherhood has ever been
the center Of honor and respect.
The great legacy left by Christ to
the Church was His Mother.
Speaking from the throne Of the
cross, He said to the whole human
family, in the person Of st. John,
Behold thy mother" This tes-
lament of the dying Saviour was
the precious heirloom which the
Church has preserved jealousy
and fearlessly throughout the
ages. Devotion to Mary began
with the Apostles themselves.
Like a vigorous tree it grew
apace and unfolded many
branches and fruits Of sanctity.
Every nation, nay, countless So
cieties have We'd with one another
in giving forth some new form Of
devotion towards the great Mother
Of God. The ages have arisen
and, in vast harmony, have called
her blessed.
When great saints were in dis
tress they went to Mary. When
countless sinners were threatened
with eternal perdition they called
upon Mary. When the Church
herself was overrun by enemies
from without and renegades from
within, the great Pope Gregory
VII, the immortal Hildebrand,
humbly Frustrated himself and
called upon Mary for protection.
Painters and poets, sculptors and
musicians, artists of every grade
have touched the summit Of indi-
vidual perfection by presenting
the world with the glories of
Mary.
The power Of this wondrous
Mother has been shown in every
age Of the Church. Shrines in
Vulnerable from Guadalupe to
Lourdes attested the efficacy of
her intercession. Devoted societies
Of men and Of women have organ
lied themselves under the banner
Of her name. Every church sings
her praises, every church invokes
her name. Truly, from the rising
Of the sun to the setting thereof
great is her name among all peo-
pies.
The month Of May, Spring s
harbinger to the splendors of the
year, has been set apart as fit
| ting time for intensified devotion
towards the Mother of our Lord.
Every Catholic, to whom religion
is a serious matter, fans into
brighter glow the flames OF love
towards the great Mother OF God
during this time. The badge OF
this love is the holy rosary. 10
practice the recital Of this sacred
chaplet is to become link in that
vast chain which reaches from
earth to the throne of Mary IN
heaven. The month of May
should be time in which the love
for Mary and her divine Son is
stirred to actions and conduct
conformable to the divine model.

Washington, Aug s. Within less
than twenty-four hours after the Dia-

teras, N. c., had been destroyed by
shell fire, the small unarmed Ameri-
can steamer Merak was shelled. tor
pedoed and sunk by a German sub.

Tuesday afternoon. Announcement of
the destruction Of the ship-the third

The Merak's crew of forty-three got
away in small boats and were landed
safely, twenty-three at Norfolk and
the remainder at Elizabeth City, n. G.
Complete details of the sinking of the
ship were lacking tonight but it was
assumed that as in other cases. the
submarine opened fire without first
giving the crew time to lower small
boats
Naval officials feel certain that the

QUAKER CITY TREES
HIT BY CAT ERPILLARS

Philadelphia, Aug. S.-Waging a
losing fight against an old and per-
sstent enemy. arborculturists in this
vicinity are sending out an IS. O. s.
call for the householder and the tree
lover to cooperate in combating the
caterpillar, whose scientific name is
the tussock moth 1t is said the war
is responsible for new inroads these
insects are making. Inability to OBJ
tain men for the tree cleaning squads
is the chief reason for the spread of
caterpillars.
Instead of cleaning up entire sec
tions of Philadelphia as heretofore
the little squad at the command OF
the arborculturist is able only to re-
spond to hurry calls.
OF the 10000 trees on this city's
streets it has been possible to clean
only about 10000. In some sections
the leaves already have been eaten
from the trees The second crop of
tussocks is at work. The size of a crop
can be judged by the fact that from
200 to 800 eggs may be contained in
one cocoon. and there may be from
| 200 to 800 cocoons on a tree Con-
tinued cool weather will check their
growth but a hot wave will produce
a bumper crop.
