what are called mixed marriages, -
the marriage namely of Catholics to
none Catholics, she yet will, if suffi-
Gent reason be present, grant dis
pensation for the lawful and binding
contracting of such marriages.
4. If for good and sufficient rea-
sons Catholics do not desire the
banns published they can, through
their own parish priest, obtain the
dispensation. The marriage can, then
take place quickly and as quietly as
can be desired Your priest will
even provide discreet witnesses.
5. Runaway couples must re-
member that priests of distant
places may not marry them without
letters from their pastor or the Arch
bishop. Snch letters will be freely
given when the occasion demands it..
6. In any and all matrimonial
difficulties consult your own pastor
or one of his assistants. The OBJ
servance of this rule would have
saved many girl heartbroken an
guish and lifelong regrets. The
priests OF your own parish will be
as sympathetic and can and will do
more than the priests of any other
parish. When no one else can aid
you in marriage doubts and difficult
ties your own priest can and will
help you. Again, we say, and would
to God we could blazon it in the
skies, see your own priest.

A FAITHFUL CONVERT.

The story of Eunice Williams has
a distinct place in New England his
tory, says The Catholic Historical
Review. At the massacre of Deer
field, Mass, on February %, 1904,
Rev. John Williams, with his wife
and children, were among those
captured by the Indians and forced
to make the long journey on foot to
Montreal. Mrs. Williams was toma-
hawked on the way, and her hus-
band was redeemed by Governor
Vaudreil and sent back to Deerfield,
in 1905. ..-r
His daughter, Eunice, who was
only eight years old at the time of
the massacre, was left behind with
the Indians who adopted her. She
subsequently forgot the English Ian
guage, became a Catholic and mar
ried an Indian named John de Rog-
ers. She adopted Indian habits, and
though she visited her relatives sew
eral times after her marriage, she
refused to return to English GUS
toms. The Legislature of Masschu-
setts offered her a tract of land if
she and her family would settle in
Deerfield, but she refused, saying
that it would endanger her faith.
Her conversion and loyalty to the
faith caused many bitter attacks
upon the Church, and some of the
early controversial literature can be
traced to her capture.

FOREVER.

Those we@fove truly never die,
Though year by year the sad me-
mortal wreath,
A ring and flowers, types of life and
death,
Are laid upon their graves. +
For death the pure life saves,
And life all pure is love; and love
can reach
From heaven to earth, and nobler
lessons teach
Than those by mortals read.
Well blest is he who has a dear
one dead;
A friend he has whose face will never
change
A dear communion that will not
grow strange;
The anchor of love is death.
The blessed sweetness of loving
breath
Will reach our cheek all fresh
through weary years.
For her who died long since, ah!
waste not tears,
She's thine unto the end.
Thank God for one dear friend,
With face still radiant with the light
of truth,
Whose love comes laden with the
scent of youth,
Through twenty years of death.
John BopIe O'ReiHD.

SOME HINTS ON MARRIAGE.

/. Marriage is a sacrament, a
sacrament of the living and there
fore should be received in the state
of grace.
2. The Church is opposed to
clandestine or secret marriages;
runaway matches" we call them
nowadays. You know the unenvia-
BILE reputation that attaches to a girl
who runs off to be married. So the
Church wishes the great sacrament
of martimony conferred lin facie
Ecclesiae," in the presence of the
Church. Hence in her wisdom she
has made certain regulations:
.(a) Only those marriages are
valid (true and binding) that are en-
tered into before the pastor of the
place and two witnesses. Hence for
Catholics to attempt marriage before
a civil magistrate or Protestant
minister is to enter into a sinful
union. Moreover, the Catholic who
attempts marriage before a Protes-
tant minister incurs excommunica-
tion by that very act.
(b) The banns of marriage must
be announced from the parish altar
of both the bride and bridegroom fol
three successive Sundays.

dom granted her by. the indwelling
Holy Spirit and confirmed by cen
Lturies-old experience, ia opposed K

RELIGIOUS INDlFFERENTIsM.

To hold, therefore, that there is no
difference in matters of religion be-
tween forms that are unlike each
other, are even contrary to each other,
most clearly leads in the end to the
rejection of all religion in both theory
and practise. And this is the same
thing as atheism, however it may
differ from it in name. Men who real
ly believe in the existence of God
must in order to be consistent with
themselves and avoid absurd conclu-
sions, understand that differing modes
of divine worship involving dissim-
ilarity and conflict even on most i'm
portant points, cannot all be equally
probable, equally good and equally ac-
ceptable to God.

HOW LITTLEIT cosTs.

How little it costs, if we give it a
thought,
To make happy some heart each
day!
Just one kind word or a tender smile,
AS we go on our daily way;
Perchance a look will suffice to clear
The cloud from a neighbor's face,
And the press of hand in sympathy
A sorroWful tear efface.
One walks in sunlight; apother goes
All weary in the shade;
One treads a path that is fair and
smooth,
Another must pray for aid.
1t costs so little! 1 wonder why
We give it so little thought;
A smile-kind words-a glance-a
touch
What magic with them is wrought!

CATHOLIC NATIONS PROSPEROUS
UNTIL IRRELIGION
BEGAN.

1t is frequently charged that Cathol-
icism is the cause of the impoveri-
cation of the Catholic masses and of
which it is the dominant creed, and
in proof of this assertion Spain, Italy
and some Latin-American countries
are cited, says THE Echo" The
Church's accusers, however, overlook
the fact that these countries were
prosperous and powerful when they
were most devoted to the Catholic
faith, and that their period of deca-
dence began with the exclusion of
religion from political life.
The same was the case with France;
it's people were mightiest and hap
piest in the days when their loyalty
to Catholic ideals was the firmest.
Catholic Spain was engaged for
centuries with the Moors, who had
gained a foothold on European soil and
threatened to subvert Christian civil
ization. In the thirteenth century the
Cortes, free parliament representing
all classes of people, was established
in the kingdom of CASTLE, and in
Aragon, which was also an important
Spanish State, the people received due
recognition in a representative assem-
bly, at an earlier date. After the dis
covery of the New World, SPANS po-
sition of power was second to none in
Europe.
In Italy, in the days of faith, the
cities of Florence, Pisa, Genoa and
Venice distinguished themselves for
their maritime prowess and their com
mercial enterprise.
Portugal, which today, under anti
clerical control, has become a con-
temptible little state, a mere appen-
dage to England, in the twelfth and
thirteenth centuries had entered upon
a brilliant career of geographical dis
covery. In the three succeeding cen
turtles Portugals dominion was eX-
tended to Africa and India.
The greatest European powers in
the age of Columbus were Spain, Por-
tugal, England and Holland.
Spain and Italy have declined con-
siderably in modern times when the

access to coal and iron mines are

England, Germany, France, and Bel
GUM recording industrial progress be-
cause they are in the iron and coal
belt Assuredly Catholicism is not to
be blamed for the absence of coal and
iron mines in Spain.
Among the geograp hically favored
nations is little Belgium, which in the
normal times before the war bore
favorable contrast with England in
the matter of actual prosperity. The
little kingdom had few or no multi
millionaires, but it also had exceed
ingly few poor people. In Protestant
England there was one pauper among
every thirty-eight inhabitants, where
as in Catholic Belgium you had to
examine eight thousand people before
you came upon a single pauper.
Germany is more than one-third
Catholic, and Austria is predominant
ly Catholic; however, the Catholic
sections in these two countries are not
less civilized nor less prosperous than
are the non-Catholic provinces.

be a return to the neglected art of

"the benefit of discipline, of instant
