FIRST NUNS IN AMERICA.

The first body of nuns to establish
themselves in America were the Ur-
sulines, who, under the superiOrship Of
Madame de Ia PeltTie, established the
Hotel Dieu at Quebec in May of the
year 1859. The first body of religious
women to establish a convent in the
United States was also the Ursulines,
at New Orleans, in 1927.
The royal patent authorizing the Ur-
sulines to establish a convent in Lou
isiana was issued September Is, 1926,
by King Louis XIV. Mother Marie
Tranchepain de St. Augustine, with
seven profossed nuns from ROuen, LIE
Havre, Vannes, Ploermel, Hennebon
and Elbouf, and novice, Madeline
blanchard, and two seCulars, met at
the infirmary at HennebOn, and on
January II, 1927, accompanied by
Fathers Tartarin and DOutreleau, set
sail for Louisiana. They we're over
six months at sea, and it was not I'M
til August g. 1927, that they reached
the embryo city of New Orleans. They
were received with every honor by
BiGnyille, who gave up his own home
TO them as a temporary residence
pending the erection of their convent
On August 7, 1927, UTSulines began
in Louisiana the great work of edu
cation which has continued without
interruption to the present day.

her great patience and suffering, were
the means of converting her husband.
That was, after ALL what she had
prayed for so ardently-to save the
soul of him who made her life so mis-
erable-but whom she loved in spite
of all. Such is a woman's love!
1t is the lot of women-especially
the mother = to suffer. Innumerable
are her sufferings and trials, of which
her husband knows little or nothing.
Even if the husband seeks to tighten
her task, to cheer and console her, her
life is hard enough. 1t is made i'm
measurably more difficult, however, if
she is unfortunate. enough to have a
husband who shows no sympathy, no
mercy, who has no thought Of her
happiness and well-being.
Small wonder that such a woman
soon loses the bloom of youth, that her
face reveals the sorrow which she is
compelled to endure. Her life is de,
void of all happiness, and the future
is dismal and dark.
These women, then, are martyrs OF
patience. The world knows nothing OF
their sufferings, but theirs is the con
ISOLATION that must come to those who
suffer in silence in the hope of. accom-
plishing some great spiritual good
They are modern st. Elizabeths!

THE VALUE OF TEMPTATION.

Lead us not into temptation with,
of course, it's correct transcription
into Suffer us not to be led into
temptation" Temptation always turks
just one footStep beyond where we in
tended to go. Very frequently it is a
smile furtiVely featured on lips. Quite
as often it is a brazen thing mixed
over a bar.
And we love to be there-Where
temptation is. And we love the thing
that is just beyond temptation as its
fulfillment. In other words, we wish
to be tempted. We must make that
acknowledgement how small the
admission makes our Will!
But-eyen our infirmities become
stepping stones to greatness. And
temptations are not sins at all, but
only opportunities for heroic gran
deur.
For God takes the weakness that is
ours and Weds to it His own strength
and we are thus enabled to smooth
our way into rough-shodding it over
the militants whose temptations are
less because greater than ours.

RELICS OF CALVARY.

A French writer locates the relics
of the Cross and Crucifxion as fol
lows:
The wood of the Cross-the largest
portions are in the Basilica of the
Holy Cross of Jerusalem in Rome,
and in the Cathedral of Paris.
The title of the Cross-the tablet on
which is the well known inscription,
Il. N. R. |. Jesus of Nazareth, King of
the jews, is preserved in the Basilica
of the Holy Cross of Jerusalem, Rome.
The Crown of Thorns-It forms part
of the treasure of Our Lady of Paris,
but is devoid of thorns, which have
been granted to a great many churches.
This relic, with the fragments of the
Cross, is borne in triumph by twelve
canons or cures of Paris in the solemn
procession which is held at o'clock
on Good Friday night in the Cathedral
of Notre Dame.
The Church of ST. Sernin, in Tou-
louise, has fragment of the Crown,
which was given it by st. Louis,
through his brother Alphonse, Count
of Poiters and Toulouse.
The Nails-One, history relates, was
thrown by st. Helena into the Adriatie
to calm a storm; the second is in the
famous iron crown of the ancient LON
bard kings fused by Napoleon | in his

men of European reputation-but it
has filled every district of the coun-
try with capable and educated men,
men who understand Catholic princi-
pies and know how to defend them.
Louvain was the first place in the
world to found a school at the com
mand of Pope Leo XIII, in which the
course would be devoted fully and
Loyalty to the philosophy of Saint
Thomas. This was the institute which
came to an end when Prussian kultur
burned the library of the place and
the home of the philosophy of the An
gel of the Schools.
BY their fruits you shall know them.
Louvain produced no Kant, Nietsche
nor Bernhard, because she loved the
truth and had respect for the best ira
ditions of the centuries. 1t was Plato
and Aristotle, arrayed in Christian
dress by Aquinas and Augustine and
Albertus Magnus, that engaged the
minds of the students Of the institute
and the deluge of German material
ism that had been pouring over Eu
rope since Kant, never flooded those
schools set apart to preserve to thell
students the mind of Saint Thomas.

AN EXPRESSION OF FAITH.

What is the name of that beauti-
full Cathedral?" asked a Protestant,
pausing in front of massive stone
church.
THAT isn't the cathedral" said the
boy to whom the question was put.
That's our parish church, Saint
C-'S"
With a word of thanks the stranger
went on his way, possibly wondering
why Catholics in an evidently poor
locality had such a fine church.
Indeed this question frequently
arises, and the critic of Catholic do
ings has not hesitated to charge
Bishops and priests with levying
heavily on their people to erect beau
tiful churches. Only the Catholic can
understand why the House of God is
made so fair
1t is because the Catholic Church is
truly the House of God, the abode of
His Majesty, that they give so gen
erously to make a fitting residence for
the King of kings.
An eminent authority, dwelling on
this way of expressing faith and de-
votiOn, says:
The edifiCG which is constructed to
be for a congregation of the faithful,
the House of God and the gate of
Heaven the chosen place for the Di-
vine Sacrifice, the permanent abode
of Christ, really present under the
sacramento species in the sacred
tabernacle, the audience hall in which
is erected the mercy throne of the
King of glory, should, of course, be
the finest structure in any location
and be Furnished with the richest or
naments that the loving worshippers
can procure.
The Temple of Solomon was such
by the direct order of God Himself,
and the Catholics have always under
stood, and understand today, all over
the earth that such should be, to the
best of our power, places of sacred
worship. A poetic inscription, written
by FOrtunatus, about A. d. $50, for
church built by Saint Felix in Nan
ties, France, bears witness to this con-
NtCCloH III Tue early ages, ana the mas
terpieces of architecture since erected
all over the Christian lands testify to
it in every subsequent century,
If rulers and other men of eminence
have costly dwellings,, beautifully fur
nished and adorned, why should the
Lord of All be denied a fitting abid-
ing place? 1t is a joy to the Catholic
heart to give to the church. Nothing
is too good for God,' is the motive
back of the giving. So, in city, town
or remote country region, the Catho-
lie Church is an expression of the
worshippers' faith in and devotion to
the Blessed Sacrament

THE BIBLE IN OUR SERVICES.

The Catholic mass begins with a
psalm; the Introit is generally pas
sage of Scripture; the Gloria in EX-
celsisi is a Bible passage swelling into
the grandest sublimity of prayer; the
Gospel of the day is taken from one
of four evangelists; the Epistle is
selection from some other part of the
Scripture; the Offertory is from the
Bible: the Lavabo is another OF the
Psalms; the words of conservation are
taken from the Gospels; the Our Fa-
Their is from the Bible and the. service
closes with the opening of the Gospel
according to ST. John, says the Inter
mountain Catholic. From the begin
ming to end the Mass is scriptural
service.
Vespers is q series of psalms. The
breviary, containing the daily office,
is mainly composed of psalms and
other extracts from Scripture. There
is not an office of the Church for the
living or the dead which does not con-
tain large extracts from the Bible.

THE NEXT WORLD.

Five minutes after death you will be
exactly the same person as five min
utes before. AS a matter of fact, death
makes no difference whatever to a
person. What a comfort to know that
that dear friend is the same on the
other side, still loving us, still caring
for us, still praying for us, still the
same to us! The happy land is not
'far, far away" You young men and
women of today have most eXtraor-
binary help in your belief to what we
had. We had to hold tight against
science; now you have the world of
science on your side today; and all the
professors Of the universities are tell
ing us that 1.-The things that are I'M
seen" are the real ones, and the things
that are seen are the temporal ones.

PRAYERS GOOD EFFECTS.

The value and necessity of prayer
in the spiritual life are well known
to every instructed Catholic, says the
Catholic Union and Times. They are
better known from experience to those
who have a well-developed habit Of
prayer. Even the psychological or
therapeutic value of prayer is we'll
understood by Catholics, although this
aspect of it is seldom accentuated
by us.
The natural and the supernatural
are so interviewer in human life that it
is not always possible to dissociate
them, even in our thoughts. But that
prayer when said with fervor has a
most soothing effect upon the mind
no one will deny.
Even in highly abnormal states of
mind prayer may have this salutary
influence, as appears from the follow
ing opinion of a prominent member of
the British Medical Association:
las an alienist and one whose life
has been concerned with the suffering
of the mind, | would state that of all
hygienic measures to counterfeit dis
turbed sleep, depressed spirits and all
of the miserable sequels of a dis
tressed mind, | would undoubtedly
give the first place to the simple habit
Of prayer. Such a habit does
more to calm the spirit and strength
en- the soul to overcome more Incl
dental emotionalism than any other
therapeutic agent known to me-
These words are quoted from DR..
James Walsh in his scholarly work,
THE Popes and Science" If some Of
our so-called aIienists would prescribe
more prayer and less dope for their
patients our insane asylums would
have fewer inmates and the world at
large fewer suicides.

MARTYRS OF PATIENCE"

Martyrs of Patience" is a term
lives are made miserable by base and
cruel husbands, says The Echo. I'm
fortunately, there are many women
and they are not found alone among
the working Classes-whOse cup OF
bitterness is filled to overfoWing by
the men who promise to love and
protect them throughout their lives
A great measure of Christian fOrtitude
indeed, is required of a woman whose
husband not only neglects, but also
abuses her. Yet there are those who
endure such suffering, without muir
muir or complaint, hoping almost
against hope that sometime, perhaps,
the man will realize his grievous
wrong and mend his evil ways Such
women are heroines in the full sense
of the word.
The sacrifices that such women make
are not always in vain, however, and
occasionally, at least, they are re-
warded in unexpected ways.
A parish priest relates an expert
ence that he had some years ago.
The priest was called to the bedside of
a dying man, who had lost his faith
in God and let wretched life.
Father" the man said, you were
surely surprised to have me send for
you. | must tell you that God placed
an angel at my side, who has wrought
this great change in me. The angel
is my Wife
Thank Cod the priest replied,
that you have listened to her adj
vice.
"She did not advise me, Father" the
man continued. Years ago | had for
hidden her to speak of religion to me.
threatened to abuse her if she did.
We are married thirty years now, and
during most of that time | abused her
shamefully. But she never complain
ed. realize now how miserable |
made her existence. How bravely she
bore it all! She never told a soul
about my conduct, said nothing of my
treatment of her. She was even kind
to me in spite of the misery that |
caused her, but | know now that her
heart must have been broken.
That is the reason why sent for
you. Her example has convinced me
OF the value of a religion such as hers.
never fully realized the enormity of
my wrongs until now. | can't atone
for them, but | hope to make my
peace with God"
This mans wife was no saint in the
eyes of the world, the priest ex-
planned. She was just an ordinary
woman such as you would meet al,
most any day in life, But her courage,

REMORSE"

He watched for me when hills of dawn
Were monuments of flame;
He touched my arm, but | went on,
| heard Him speak my name.
Yea, He-the Living Sign of Truth
He knew me for my shame.
He passed me when the moons white
crown
Was tipped with rosy fire;
His eyes met mine, but looked down
My feet were in the mire.
I'd drunk full deep of the Scarlet Cup,
And Sin was my desire.
His path crossed mine when Nights
blue field
Was sown with silver stars;
With outstretched hands He babe me
yield,
And let Him break Deaths bars.
And though they cut and scared my
soul,
fled Him with my scars.
He waited for me when the Night
Was black, and choked with rain;
His glance was tender as the light
From eyes that look on pain.
And, though my seething soul crayed
rest,
| let Him wait in vain.
But now, as through Times hour glass,
Life's final sand grains pour;
| pray that He shall once more pass,
And greet me as before
Could l but fall down at His feet!
| ask but thiS-no more.
