WHY A CATHOLIC SHOULD NOT
JOIN THE MAsoNs.

There are two reasons why Cath
Ollie may not join the Masons; one is
that the Masons do not want him to
join, and the second is that the Cath
olie Church forbids him to join. These
two reasons should be sufficient for
any sensible, loyal Catholic. A Cath
Ollie cannot be true, intelligent
Catholic and a true, intelligent Ma
son. The Catholic Church has a creed
and Masonry has a philosophy, and
the creed and the philosophy mutually
exclude each other One might pre-
tend to join the Masons merely for
social purposes; but, by that very fact,
he becomes a member of an organiza-
ton that has a philosophy, whether
the member is aware of it or not. Ma
sonry in many countries has been and
is today an enemy of the Catholic
Church; the experience of the Church
has been that when Catholic became
a Mason he ceased to practice his re-
ligion. The Church protects her chill
dren by forbidding them to become as
sociated with Masonry. The Tyuth.

A WORD AND A SMILE.

Don't hurry through life with a frown
on your face,
And never a moment to spare
For the word and the smile are al
ways worth while
In a world full of trouble and care.
There are others with burdens as
heavy as yours,
Hearts weary with aching and pain,
That are longing to hear just word
of good cheer,
Will you let them be pleading in
vain?
Don't feel that misfortune has singled
~ you out
And made you her own special prey,
For you may be sure there's no home
so secure
way,
There is sunshine for all in this work
aday world,
But you'll have to go after your
share,
And you'll miss it, of course, if you're
hurried and cross,
With never moment to spare.
And if you have sunshine and love in
your home,
| If pleasure and plenty abound,
Don't hoard up your store, you'll en-
joy it the more
If you scatter it freely around
For the light of your smile can be
seen from afar
And heaven records its full worth;
Though you whisper your word, yet
its echo is heard
To the farthermost ends of the
earth.

THE CHILDREN'S HOUR.
THE BOY WHO oBEYED ORDERS

-
It was on a wet, cold November
evening that a boy trudged YEARLY
into the seaport town of Chatham,
England. He was. covered with mud,
and from under the long black locks
that fell on his forehead, two big eyes
stared out at the world, and his thin
cheeks. were pinched with cold and
wet with rain. He met sailor as
he entered the town outskirts, and,
stopping him, said: If you please,
which way to the docks?''
The sailor directed him, and he
went forward down the narrow streets
till he came to the Waterside. There
he wandered around for a time; but
presently he came upon an old man,
and asked: Are those ships out there
warships %
AYE" replied the man, they be,
sure enough, my lad. Be We a-goin'
to the wars?'' And he grinned
Eyes, but 1 don't know how to get
on board said the puzzled boy.
Where do the boats Iand?'
Right here" and the old man
waved his pipe at the landing stage
before them. See! yon is one a'com-
in now"
Sure enough, a boat was rowing
swiftly in. 1t drew up to the landing
stage and an officer stepped out. The
boy approached the officer, and touch
ing his cap, said, Please, sir, can
you tell me how to get on board the
frigate Reasonable
The officer looked down, and staring
at the thin, pale face with it's big
eyes and firm mouth, replied: why,
that is my ship. But what do you
want on board of herr"
Please, sir, l want to Join. Her
commander, Captain Sucking, is my

TEN PIERS.

Tempers are queer things anyway.
We snap, and growl, and scold, and
fume, and fret for ne cause under the
sun, that we know of, and when
trouble really comes we smile and take
it as unconcernedly as though it was
the most commonplace affair We
will sulk for week over a slight that
was all in our imagination, and grow
all the madden because we know that
the whole matter is an invention of
our own. The fact is when we feel
good a cyclone can't spoil our equan-
unity, but if we chance to be out of
sorts and have the blues we are going
to get mad and stay mad, and if we
don't find any provocation we will
make one. The man who gets the
blues-and who is there who doesn't
get them-is a most unfortunate per-
son. Ten minutes after the attack
begins he has concluded that he is the
most abused man on the face of the
earth. Every person in the town is
working against him; he knows it and
it is no use to deny the fact If the
unfortunate man is married he wreaks
disgust upon his wife and boy and
cow

HOW LATIN HELPED.

8 <
When General Lafayette first came
to this country he knew no English,
and as French was, little spoken at
that time, he often had great difficulty
in making himself understood. It is
related of him that, going once on duty
for General Washington from Brandy
wine to New York, he stopped over
night in Sussex county, New Jersey,
and was robbed by a fellow traveller
of his jewels and his wife's miniature.
He could not stop to recover his prop
serty, nor could he make the people
understand what he had lost.
On reaching another village he was
introduced to Rev. Father Kerr, and
tried to talk to him in French. Father
Kerr couldn't understand him nor
could he talk in Father Kerr's English.
Father Kerr. as matter Of course,
was a good Latin scholar, and it oc-

HOW CATHOLIC NUNS IMPRESS
HIM..

Whenever I see them, two INNS, in
veil and habit, walking together, a
feeling of peace, OF calm, steals over
me-
Whether it be in busy bank, teem-
ing with people, at noon on Satur-
day, that | see them, or on the public
square, or on street car, or in a
merchants shop, invariably am bet
ter for the sight Their presence re-
calls me from the troubled consider
alton Of petty workaday problems and
earthly cares, and reminds me that
all is not prosaic, humdrum, harsh and
cold. | remember that far from the
merciIess din OF the city there are
places of retirement-ah. how restful
is the thOught-sequestere corners
of this old world of ours, where, in
convent gardens and monastic halls,
one can live in quiet and peace with
God.
In fancy I hear the slow, perpetual
ticking of the clock in the clOiSter
chapel, beating in unison, l like to
think, with the throbbing Heart be-
hind the satin curtains of the taber-
nacle door. l hear the measured
chanting of the vesper service; the
soft, melodious responses of the Ave
Maria the clear and resonant tolling
of the Angelus bell.
l see the clean, immaculate CORR
doris, the small, bare rooms and the
IoW-ceilinged dining room Of the re-
ligious community houses. And the
inmates; I see them moving alertly
about, performing willingly their many
duties, and in their recreational mo-
ments engaged in the interchange Of
wholesome and elevating thought.
see them, morning, noon and night,
however tried may be their souls or
wearied their bodies. always wearing
an expression of benign contentment
and repose.
And these things I hear and see, in
one fleeting, happy moment, when two
nuns, in veil and habit, quietly pass
me by.
Yes, down through the vistas of the
ages have walked these holy women,
serene and beautiful, their eyes cast
low in maiden modesty, and on their
faces an impress of the divine.

Then you are chaplain, father"
he questioned.
Yes And after a short time he
made his confession. But he was still
disconsolate.
You believe in God and in your
country?'
Yes, but I left an old mother at
home and I am so afraid that I will
be killed tomorrow and she will be
left alone, the soldier answered.
Let us then kneel down and say
prayer to the Mother of God, who
will console your mother in your alb
