NEARING THE LAST GATE.

NEARING THE LAST GATE.
Oh, don't be sorrowful, darling!
And don't be sorrowful, pray!
Taking the year together, my dear,
There isn't more night than day.
IT'S rainy weather, my darling;
Times waves they heavily run;
But taking the year together, my dear,
There isn't more cloud than sun.
We are old folks now, my darling,
Our heads they are growing gray;
But taking the year all around, my
dear,
You will always find the May.
We have had our May. my darling,
And our roses, long ago;
And the time of year is coming, my
dear,
For the silent night and the snow.
And God is God, my darling,
OF night as we'll as of day:
And we feel and know that we can go
Where'er He leads the way.
Aye, God of the night, my darling
OF the night of death so grim;
The gale that leads out of life, good
wife,
Is the gate that leads to Him.

DON'T BE A FAULTFINDER.

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. It 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
a great deal of his time criticizing
the morals or manners of others is
almost sure to neglect his own to some
extent. At best, that is the only ex.
PLANTATION we have been able to find
for the well-known fact that most
strenuous and persistent fault finders
usually have as many and as serious
faults as ordinary people, with few
added. We have about concluded that
to find fault with other people help.

USES FOR LEMONS.

Two or three slices of lemon ir
cup OF strong tea will cure a nervous
headache.
Lemon juice, outward applications,
will allay the irritation caused by the
bites of insects.
A teaspoonful of lemon juice in u
small cup of black coffee will relieve
bilious headache.
Lemon juice is better than any
drug or complexion powder for giving
permanent clearness and beauty to
the skin.
The juice Of q lemon taken in hot
water on awakening in the morning
is an excellent liver corrective and
for stout women is better than any
anti-fat medicine ever invented.
A dash of lemon in plain water is
an excellent tooth wash. 1t not only
removes tartar, but sweetens the
breath.

SENATOR JOHNSON AND JOSHUA

The other day Senator Hiram John

in the Supreme Court. The tribunal
limits arguments to certain time, and
the rule is ironclad. On the dot, even
in the middle of sentence, no matter
how much he has been interrupted by
questions, the lawyer who is talking
must stop when time is up. Johnson
was speaking rapidly against the
clock, and folks were wondering
whether the court would stretch a
point for him.
He said his opponents clients want

THE HOLY SOULS,
lBy Father Eaber.l

(By rather Faber.)
Oh! it is sweet to think
OF those that are departed,
While murmured AYES sink
To silence tender-hearted;
While tears that have no pain
Are TRANQUILITY distilling,
And the dead live again
In the hearts that love is filling.
Yet, not as in the days
OF earthly ties we love them;
For they are touched with rays
From light that is above them;
Another sweetness shines
Around their well-known features
God with His glory signs
His dearly ransomed creatures.
All! they are moro our own
Since now they are Gods only;
And each one that has gone
Has left our hearts less lonely.
Ho mourns not seasons fled
Who now in Him possesses
Treasures Of many dead
In their dear Lords caresses.
o dearest dead! to Heaven
With grudging signs we give you
To Him-be doubts forgiven!-
Who took you there to save you;
Now get us grace to love
Your memories yet more kindly;
Pine for our homes above,
And trust to God more blindly

The ardinal-Primate, Archbishops

I'm the death of the Archbishop of
st. Paul our country mourns the loss
of an illustrious SON. His career as a
great Churchman, courageous states
man and an intrepid advocate of tenn
perance was eagerly followed in his
native land. Love of the country of
his birth mingled in him with love
of America; and the Archbishops and

assembled, tender their heartfelt con-
dolence to the clergy and laity of st.
Paul under the heavy load of sorrow
which the death of their great Arch

CATHOLIC RECONSTRUCTION
AFTER GREAT WORLD WAR

not reasonable, but were due to the
eXigencies of local circumstances. But
how they would have Jared under
the German Empire is another ques-
ton. Bismarck had no hesitation in
putting bishops and archbibshops into
Jail for performing their spiritual du-
ties even. We can hardly imagine a
Polish or Bavarian archbishop oppos-
ing the general staff!
The Catholic Church has a great
future in the areas of the British
Empire and many sins may be for
given the empire for her protection
of the Church in the uttermost parts
of the seas. She has only to do unto
the Irish as she has unto the Beers
to secure in Catholic eyes good will
and new lease of her world empire
after the war. 1t is obvious that a
world-empire and a world church must
enter into good, though independent,
relations with one another.
Doubtless, had Germany won her
world-empire the Church would have
had to make her peace with her as
she did with Bismarck, but that is
outside the future horizon. AS Prince
Lichuowslky, the Catholic ambassador
of Germany to England, wrote in his
frank and honorable revelations:
"And what must we expect as the
result of this war of nations? The
United States of Africa will be Brit
ish English speaking) like those Of
America, Australia and Oceania. And
the Latin states of Europe, as pre-
dicted years ago, will enter into the
same relations with the United King
dom that their Latin sisters in Amer
lea maintain with the United States.
The Anglo-Saxon English speaking
peoples, Saxon, Celtic and Americans)
will dominate them. France, exhaust
ed by the war, will only attach her
self still more closely to Great Britain.
Nor will Spain continue to resist long.
The world will belong to the Anglo
Saxons, Russians and Japanese, and
the German will remain alone with
Austria and Hungary. He made his
appearance too late and his last
chance of making good the past, that
of founding colonial empire, was an
initiated by world war"
+
This is interesting politically, but
it has. a wide significance for the re-
ligious world. A century ago De
Maistre, the greatest of lay writer's
in ecclesiastical politics, prophesied
that the possibilities open to an Eng
disappearing Catholicism were unlim-
tied. In the past Catholic progress
has been at different times associated
not with certain countries so much
as with certain languages. Once it
was Spanish, and at another time
French. Great tracts of the world
/missionized in both tongues. At
one time Spanish and Church policy
seemed identical. At another France
was the eldest daughter of the Church.
Perhaps the time has dawned when
English is going to be the speech of
Catholic progress, and considering
that the American Church is the most
vigorous and numerous of all English.

As TIE first presages of final VIC
tory greet the American arms,
thoughts of religious reconstruction
after the war must occur to the far
sighted. The Catholic Church and
Protestant denominations are divided
much as they were in the Civil War
across the war area. The Catholics
of North and South were able to join
together almost Immediately after the
Civil War, while other churches re-
NAMED out of communion with each
other for a generation.
What is likely to be the state of
affairs after this war? Is the break
between the belligerent Catholics like
~ to continue. Is it true that an
American Catholic will probably pre-
fer to buy a Breviary printed in Bel
GUM rather than in Germany for the
future? An English Catholic may
sign a pledge and refuse buying any
thing German forever. An interdict
for her foes may hang over Germany
for generations in all things commu-
nicable save one. Neither an English
nor American Catholic dying would
dream of refusing the last sacraments
from a German priest, even If he
were a Prussian, says Shane Leslie,
the brilliant young Irish Catholic
writer, in the November Extension
Magazine.
Divine Internationalism of Church.
It follows then that the Church,
owing to her divine institution, will
recover before any civil institutions,
from the dislocation and estrange-
ments caused by the war. But what
of the future of the Church. Will it
lie in the wake of the countries now
associated against the Central Powers,
or do any Missionaries still believe that
it is to be bound up with a Holy Ger
man Empire?
How overwhelmingly the Catholic
future is outside the zone of the Cen
trail Powers appears in the toughest
outline of church statistics, the sa-
cred College of Cardinals is an indi>
cation. The Central Powers can
count six members at most. The al
lied countries can reckon seventeen,
as follows: France, 8; British En-
pire, d; United States, q; Portugal, Q;
Belgium, 1.
Of the patriarchs, Alexandria, Jeru-
salem, Lisbon and Venice are in the
allied zone. Antioch and Cilicia of
the Armenians are under Turkish
dominance and presumably are endur-
ing German protection. In Rome her
self, of the twenty-three national col
leges ten are such as will be supply
ing the non-German world with priests
in the future, while two will minister
to Mittel-Europa.
Population is and will be for long
indeterminate. The European Catho-
lies have been decimated. However,
the sect remain, and a calculation
shows to what very large extent the
bishops Of the Catholic Church are
ranged against the Central Powers.
