BRUCES POSSESSES TREASURES

from their midst. They offered to the
great Count the priceless relic of the
Holy Blood, if in exchange for it, he
would leave them his noble wife. The
strange commerce was effected, and
the Countess of Alsaee, rejoicing as
she said, to have been twice bought by
the Blood of Christ, remained in the
city where that Blood had been shed,
and sought henceforth to fashion her
life after the Divine Model of Him,
Who came not to be ministered unto,
but to minister" Nobly she wore her
Red Cross, unfalteringly she trod the
self-sacrifcing path of charity, for the
Cross on her arm was but the out
ward symbol of the love of the CRU
cited within her own soul. And in
our days of sorrow and strife so too
may the outward shows be least
themselves" so, too, may the devoted
and heroic women who go forth into
the thick of the fight, hear beyond the
cry of common humanity the call
of Him Who has said: so long as
you did it to one of these, My least
brethren, you did it to Me- Thus
may their work be raised from out the
lower level of mere philanthropy to
the fair heights of the supernatural
wherein the sick and wounded are
tended not only because of their need
but because of the traces of Cod
that are found in them. And when
the weight of WEAKNESS is felt-and
who shall say how often and how long
that may be--let the women who
wear the Red Cross today remember
the Countess of Alsace and seek new
courage where she sought it, and find
new strength where she found it, in
the inexhaustible stream of love and
of grace that flows from the Cross of
Christ.
To Bruges, Thierry of Alsace
brought his priceless treasure; here
was the land of the Belgians, the
Chapel of the Holy Blood, which was
itself encased in rich reliquary of
silver gilt. From the day, April z,
1850, when the valiant Crusader re-
turned to his capital with the precious
relic, it has played an important part
in the religious life of the people of
Flanders

Institution of Procession.

In the month of nay, 1902, the citi-
Zens of Bruges, under the leadership
of their two brave compatriots Breidel
and De Coninck, VIGOROUSLY drove
the French from their city To COM
memorate this deliverance, the SOL
emn procession OF the Holy Blood was
instituted in 1903, and a promise was
made that the procession should take
place every year on the Monday fol-
lowing the first Sunday of May, and it
has become one of the great national
and religious celebrations of Flanders.
To assist at it thousands of Belgians
come from all parts of the country.
The quiet city is crowded On the day
appointed the Blessed Relic is carried
in triumphant procession surrounded
by multitudes in reverent prayer
From the belfry or Grand Tower the
famous bells of the city ring out, those
chimes of which Longfellow wrote:
Low and loud and rsweetly blended,
Low at times and loud at times,
And changing like a poets rhymes. y
These chimes are silent today, for
the iron hand of war encircles the
land of the Belgians, the land of the
Miraculous Blood. At the outbreak of
the great war the people of Bruges
sent to a place of safety the beauti-
full reliquary, work of art, but they
would not be parted from their treas
ured Relic, feeling that it's presence
in their midst was their surest pledge
of blessing and victory. May it be so
to them
But this Miraculous Blood is in one
place only. There is Divine Sacri-
flee of the Body and Blood of Christ
| offered daily, from the rising of the
sun to the going down thereof in all
parts of the earth. May the Precious
Blood, red in the chalice of eacn
mornings Mass and worthy of our
supremest worship, cry to heaven fol-
pardon for the world and obtain peace
for the warning nations of the earth
and the return of all men to Christ
our King.

The play is written in clear lucid Eng
lish and is simple in structure; yet
it is difficult of BETTING interpreta-
ton. This is due largely to the rev.
erence we have for many of the char
acters-the Blessed Virgin Mary, the
Angel Gabriel and st. Joseph especial
ly. The pre-eminent dignity of these
personages united tremendously with
the perfect humility and simplicity
that is theirs is combination of
qualities difficult to portray on the
stage. The author of the drama has
undertaken to do this, and on the feast
Of the Epiphany, Little Christmas"
he will give the story of the Incarna-
ton of Christ in the church dedicated
to that mystery. A program of music
in harmony with the three acts of the
play is being prepared. No admission
will be charged, but silver collection
will be made in' the course of the
program.
