THE SIGN OF THE CROSS.

The sign of the Cross has been the
great Christian salute from the days
of the Apostles, says Rev. Henry c.
Hengel. 1t is more than probable that
our Lord Himself taught it to them.
The priest offers this salute about fifty
times when he offers Mass and many
times when he recites the official
prayers of the Church during the Di-
vine Office to which he is strictly
bound every day. The sign of the
Cross is used in all blessings by
Bishops and priests and in the admin
istrations of the Sacraments. 1t is
used fourteen times in solemn Bap-
tism and seventeen times in Extreme
Unction, 1t is used on everything
blessed for the service of God, such
as affairs, chalices, vestments, candles
and holy water. The Catholic people
use the sign of the Cross, constantly
beginning and ending prayers, arising
and retiring, before and after meals
and in all dangers of soul and body

COURTESY TO THEIR HOST.

The Western Catholic reads les
be found in every parish when it says:
Timeliness may well dispute with
cleanliness its proximity to goodness.
The one who comes late to social
function is ready with an excuse or
apology. He knows that it is eX-
pected as a matter of ordinary cour-
tesy to his host.
There is one class who have not
the slightest regard for their fellow
guests nor do they recognize the cour-
tesy due their Host We speak of
those who habitually and without just
cause are late for Sunday Mass. They
are wanting in the common courtesies
when dealing with Almighty God.
On Sunday morning the Lord is
their Host. He is entertaining them
at the great Banquet of His Body and
Blood They are the honored guests,
yet their sense of the tremendous
honor that their Host is paying them
is so blunted that they will not show
Him the courtesy they show their
fellow men in society.
They do not seem to care that it is
disrespectful to God, distraction to
the priest at the altar and a scandal
to the rest of the, congregation. They
saunter into church with an indiffer
ent air. One would imagine that they
were doing a favor to Almighty God
by coming at all.

DON'T BE A PATHFINDER.

Because you are able to point out
real faults and shortcomings in the
life and actions of your friend or
neighbor is no sure proof that you
are profitably or helpfully engaged
when you are doing so. 1t may be,
for instance, that he knows as much
about them as you do, and is even
more concerned for their elimination
or improvement than you can possibly
be. You are not therefore helping
yourself greatly. For instance, we
have found that the man who spends
great deal of time criticizing the
morals or manners of others is almost
sure to neglect his own to some ex.
tent. At best, that is the only eX.
PLANTATION we have been able to find
for the well-known fact that the most
strenuous and persistent fault-fnders
usually have as many and as serious
faults as ordinary people, with few
added. We have abouot concluded
! that to find fault with other people
helpfully and without neglecting our
selves or getting into the habit of {

plaeently upon such system of edu-
cation for the children. The children
of today will be the men and women
of tomorrow. Will not the state be
irreligious or pagan if it's citizens are
to be recruited from such system of
schools?
Catholic parents in the fulfllmeAt
of their sacred stewardship must en-
deavor with all their, power to return
to God the children entrusted. to their
care. AS men cannot gather grapes
of thorns or figs of thistles, children
cannot be brought up as Christians
if their education be not positively
religious. So the religious school, the
Catholic school, is a necessity for the
Catholic. children. ''Thes Judge Of
Faith''-the Church herself--po sitiye
ly insists upon the necessity of re
ligion in education. Such being the
case, how can Catholic parents who
have the opportunity send their chill
dren with a, safe, conscience to any
other than a Catholic school? .-.s#
The parochial schools give more, t.

least as much as the, public schools
do in secular education. We wonlt
not be satisfied unless they gave mucl

THE CATHOLIC SCHOOL.

The Catholic school is as essential
for the Catholic child as the parochia1
church is for the Catholic parent.
Were Catholic parents able to employ.
private governesses or Catholic teach
ers at home or had the time them
selves to instruct their children, the
Catholic school might be dispensed
with. But as a rule this is an impos-
sibility.
The Church is the ambassador. Of
God on earth He has said of the
Church: He that hears you hears
Me- The Church in fulfllment of the
divine command, Feed My lambs"
has established the Catholic school
and insists on the necessity of relig-
ious instruction for the children.
Suffer little children to come unto
Me and forbid them not" is His en-
phatic injunction.
When school requires and bars
religion from its curriculum and will
not permit God to have place or a
mention within its precincts, the chill
dren are virtually forbidden to recog-
nize or to acknowledge God during the
sessions The tendency and the asFagiF

THE IRON CROWN

Some months ago the Roman
dailies announced the arrival at Rome
of the Iron Crown of Monza, the most
historical of Europe's art treasures.
It was intended, they told us, to place
it in the museum which is being ar
ranged in the famous Palazzo Venezia
there.
Owing to the close associations of
the crown with the Holy Roman EN-
p1re it is of interest to give here the
history as given by the semi-official
organ of the Vatican. The Iron Crown
tof Monza is formed of band of iron
covered with six plates of gold united
by a clasp enamel1ed and jewe1led.
IA pious tradition holds the circle of
iron was made of one of the Holy
Nails of the Cross of Calvary.
+ A discussion arising as to the. cult
that ought to be paid to this venerable
relic, the Sacred Congregation of
Rites delegated the celebrated Cardi-
nal Lambertini, afterwards Pope Ben
edict the Fourteenth, out of respect
for whom Cardinal Della Chiesa took
the name Of Benedict in 1914,) to ex-
anime it.
Cardinal Lambertini decided veneer
alton might be shown it, and that it
might be, carried in procession.
The earliest traditions of the Crown
are these: st. Ambrose said in his
funeral Grafton over Emperor Theo-
dora, ! that the Empress st. Helena,
on finding. the Holy Nails at Jerusa-
lem had one of them fashioned into
a. dladem ornamented with gems and
sent to Emperor Constantine, her
son. This the. mighty conqueror
placed on his. helmet. st. Gregory the
Great obtained it as a gift later on.
P0pe Gregory presented it to Theo,
linda, Queen of the Lombards, who
donated>it to, the Basilica of ST. John
Which she had just erected at Mona.
It is said the Queen directed her
successors should be crowned with
+ this relic, and, that she herself
crowned with it. her husband, Agilu.
1ius.
/ Critics reject this tradition on the
| grounds that the Longobard kings as
cended the throne after the German
fashion, i. e., by raising them upon
their shields. Some hold that Charlie
magne was the first to be crowned
with it, while others say it was Ohio
but they have no documents to, prove
their statement.
The following were certainly
crowned with it.. Berengarius at Mi
Ian, 1889, Rudolphus, King of Bor
gogna, at Pavia, (921), Ohio III, al

GATHERER,s WISE PRAYERS,

Those who use the Breviary We're
reading last month in the responsories
to the lessons of Mathis the beautiful
prayer which Gatherer, in the thir-
tieth chapter of the Book of Proverbs,
offers to God: 1.-TWO things | have
asked of Thee" declared this most
foolish of men, as he humbly styles
himself, deny them not to me before
die. Remove far from me vanity
and lying words. Give me neither
beggary nor riches; give me only the
necessaries of life, lest perhaps being
filled, should be tempted to deny,
and say, who is the Lord? or being
compelled, by poverty, should steal
and forsWear the name of my God
AS the wise Gatherer prayed in
days of, old, so are thousands of cour-
ageous and clean-hearted youths and
maidens praying today, says. America.
On reaching the age when they can
think for themselves, many young
people are given to see, by light from
heaven, the emptiness and deceitful-
ness of the worlds promises, and look
ing about them they note what a
menace wealth often proves to the
faith and morals of those who possess
it, and they likewise observe how
restitution, on the other, hand, fire.
quently drives those suffering from it
to the commission of crimes. If these
young men and women also have the
wit to perceive that whatever is best
and most precious in life, such as. love,
faith, purity, honor, reverence and
kindness, all endure when material
things pass away, they will perhaps
be seized with desire to embrace a
state of life that will not only remove
them as far as possible from the
worlds vanity and lying words" that
will not only provide them all their
days with "the necessaries. of life, -
| and safeguard them from the perils
both of wealth and of poverty, but will
| also richly endoW their souls with
those fair: possessions which will re.
main, theirs forever.
! Such longing in the hearts OF
youths and maidens often mark the
beginning of Divine call to the re
ligious life and should be seriously
| needed. For in approving and bless
ing those Orders and Congregations in
which men or women, by taking the
three vows, bind themselves to, OBJ
serve the evangelical. counsels, the
Church, like loving, mother, aims tc
satisfy as fully as it can be. satisfied
in. this world, the longing of the human
heart for peace and security in the
midst of turbulence and change, anG
to provide within the walls of the
\ cloister fertile garden for the cult
walton of all those virtues that give
human life its greatest dignity ant
!, beauty. dt~4 e..
