ADVANCE.


(By D. e. Doran, in San Francisco Call)
Advance! At last the order comes: Advance!
Advance! For it's the long-waited day
When side by side, America and France
Shall loose their stainless legions for the fray
Advance! Aye, far along that battle land,
Where stern and grim the hosts of Freedom wait
On wings of joy is borne the stern command
That seals forevermore the Despots fate!
The hour has struck! The die is cast!
The weary waiting all is past
And feet as longleashed hounds set free
The host sweeps for Victory.
Now shall our thunderS blast away
The memry of each bitter day.
OF wrong, of lust, of infamy,
OF crime on land, of crime on sea;
The memry of each pllaged town.
OF clean, sweet women striker down,
or children's cries, of mothers tears
OF all the doubts and breads and fears
That only striker hearts may know
That writhe beneath brutal foe
Advance! Thank God, the order comes: Advance!
And clean and fair there dawns the fateful day:
When Truth shall risk its might in battle chance
To wipe each blod-stained memory away
Advance! Thank God, the day has dawned at last
To loose our legions the plains of France:
Thank God! The hour has struck! The die ia cast
For Freedom and Humanity! Advance

Such the words of that grand old man, Cardinal
Gibbons delivered on his Saith birthday anniversary.
Reason, knowledge; belief faith Such is the align

maintain that while the Cardinal may believe he

not actually knowledge, far human knowledge is
possible How comes he to know that prayers for
victory will be answered?
All knowledge is founded belief. We only

FEAST OF THE ASSUMPTION.

On Thursday last celebrated the principal feast Of
the Blessed Virgin Mary in the ecclesiastical year,
memorating the happy departure of Mary from this life
and the corporeal assumption of her body into heaven
This reuniting body ordinary

of the mother of God, when her tomb opened
the of ST. Thomas, found to be empty
The apostles therefore concluded that the body

her death there is little certainty, the
assumption of her body into heaven we'll established
by divine tradition and universal observation among
early churches that Catholics bound to accept
doctrine sanctioned by the earliest usages practices
of apostolic times.
St. Thomas and St. Bonaventure in the thirteenth
tury of the greatest teogians time subscribed
to the general belief in the Assumption Of Lady
This follows naturally from the dogma Immaculate
Conception which declared by this Since
Blessed Mother knew nothing of original sin con-
tracted debt with DEATH which is the punishment
sin. She freely chose to die that she might conform
her Divine Son. AS the Holy One of God could suffer

holy of His Christ should corruption In the
ancient calendar the death of Mary is spoken of
sleep and the Creeks Syrians Chadeans, Copts

ning have celebrated this Feast of the Assumption We
read in the Lber Ponfcas of the seventh century that
the Feast of the Assumption of the Mother of God
celebrated in Rome for indefinite length of time
authors far to that the Assumption has
kept from Apostolic times but find documents in
primitive Liturgies to support this opinion.
