HER GOOD EXAMPLE
AND ITS EFFECT

A girl who was on her way to work
was overtaken by man employed at
the same place, and they walked along
together, chatting as they went They
had to pass a church on the way and
the girl was in the habit of making a
daily visit there.
AS they came near she began to be
tempted to pass by without going in.
What would her companion think?
She hated to be called a fanatic, a
devotee, or a little queer! Besides, it
sometimes injured one, in business
way, to be religious, particularly a
Catholic.
She would omit her accustomed visit
just this once. But grace prevailed,
and saying: q will leave you here;
good morning. she went in as usual.
The next morning the man was a
little later and said, in rather shame
faced way, that he had followed her
good example and had also gone into
the church on his way down.
"Oh! Then you are Catholic! |
am so glad" she said.
Some months later he said to her:
"Niss Blake, l owe you a great deal,
and l cannot feel satisfied until have
told you about it and thanked you"
you owe me a great deal? Why,
how can that be-"
WELL" he answered, "you remem-

less; in fact | had almost given up
the practice of my religion. But your
little act, so simply performed, awoke
in my heart a desire for better things,
and the next morning | also went into
the church. After that l made my
daily visit, like yourself, and soon re-
turned to my duties, and | need not
tell you the peace and JOY Of heart.
If every one were as courageous as
you, how soon the world would be
better"

MEANING OF THE TERM "PoPE.'

MEANING OF THE TERM "POPE."
The word "Pope," taken from the
Greek, originally was childish word
for father, and was first given as a
title of respect to ecclesiastics gen
orally. Among the Greeks at this
day it is used by all priests, and was
used as late at least as the Middle
Ages, of inferior clerics. In the West
it seems to have become very early a
special title Of Bishops. Gradually,
however, the title was limited to the
Bishops of Rome, and there is men
ton in the Synod of Pavia, held in
99S, of rebuke directed by those con-
shutting it against the Archbishop of
Milan for calling himelf Pope Greg
DRY VII, in a Roman Council of the
year 1913, formally prohibiting the
assumption of the title by any other
than the Roman Bishop.
1t is, of course, in the last and most
restrictive sense that this work is
used here. BY the Pope we mean the
Bishop of Rome, who is, according to
our Catholic doctrine, the successor
of st. Peter, and as such the Vicar of
Christ the Visible Head of the Church,
the Doctor and Teacher of the faith

THE ANGELUs IN THE SOUTH.

l7E AN0EIUS in IHE SUI II.
Every evening all church bells are
tolled in cities, towns, villages, and in
the most remote sections throughout
North Carolina while people offer up
a prayer for the success of the Allies.
This is done in accordance with a
proclamation issued several weeks
ago by Governor Thomas w. Beckett.
Governor Beckett strictly observes
the new custom. One afternoon he
was playing tennis with party of
friends at court near the city.
When he heard the sound of the toll
ing bells he raised his hands and said:
Hold on, boys, there is the Angelus"
The game was stopped while the
players joined the Governor in silent
prayer.

JOKE ON DESTROYER CAPTAIN
Spent Hours Searching for Convoy
Which II Turned Out Never Had
Been Lost.

Humorous stories as well as tragic
tales comes from the seas, even In war
time. A British naval officer was re-
lating with great glee to his friends at
the club a story about one OF his ma
jesty's destroyers which was detailed
to escort a transport filed with troops.
This transport, 1t seems, was COM
manded by a captain who, unlike most
of his class, was meek and mild. The
night was dark and dirty and naturally
no lights were showing. In the storm
and darkness the destroyer lost sight
Of her convoy. Her commander, who
was one of the nervous, peppery sort,
dashed up and down and around ana
about but could not pick her up. OF
course the naval officer blamed the cap
tain of the convoy for not keeping In
touch and said things about the sea

Finally after several hours valI
