THE. PRIESTS TELEPHONE.

The telephone may prove a blessing
or an unmitigated nuisance to its pos
SCISSOR. 1t penetrates the innermost
recesses of ones private rooms, and
interrupts private affairs. All of
which has it's drawbacks. The phone
in a church rectory is delicate prop
osition. If it be a genuine business
call of necessity no one objects, but
when one remembers that many of
the thousands in congregation, have
the telephone habit and practise it
for every whim, the results are dis
astrous. So great has been the abuse
of rectory phones that many have
been discontinued or put on private
numbers.
Many regard the parish phone as a
bureau of information for the public.
A rectory is. a busy place necessarily
A phone in it makes it a bedlam.
People seeking information on health,
law, income tax, Liberty Bonds, birth
certificates, marriages, deaths, fu-
lnerals, family quarrels and vital statis-
tics invariably rush to the phone and
insist on the clergy supplying the in
formation much of it is done thought
lessly or to cover. laziness. A little
consultation with persons, calendars
or books would give the same infor-
nation, but this is not done, and the
priest pays the penalty.
If he loses his temper, all is lost;

FATHERS AND SONS.

Many a. man has given up smoking,
or drinking, or swearing, or gambling,
as his sons began to emerge from
childhood and showed an ambition to
initiate him in, his bad habits as we'll
as In his good.
We all can remember some, older
person whose ways influenced us when
we were young.
The father of boys, therefore,
should take thought over his conduct
to, make sure that it will. edify them
and not mislead them into evil. They
have. right. to good example from
him. They have "a right to see him
practice his religions say his daily
prayers. keep his temper, go to his
work, abstain from meat on Fridays,
go to Mass on Sunday, receive. holy
communion, etc.. etc. I. They, have a
right to expect that they may model
their conduct on his. They have a
right to look !. to him. to guide them
in the way that will lead to eternal
life.

solemnlys called by her name; and the
bearers of her standard pushing west
ward, painfully, but with courage UNI
fiinching, and planting fort or a
chapel, a station Or a mission-hOuse
of st. Mary, to mark their toilsome but
triumphant way. Let us. follow it as
it leads through the limits, of the pres
ent British possessions; then through
the French claims; down the Valley of
the Mississippi, and so to it's progress
under the Spanish flag, and to the
settlement of the United. States. This
much will bring us to the year 1776,
and thus to, the present day.
The Huron learned quickly to love
the, name of Mary. Above all, the
women looked up, from their laborious
debasement, to the glorifed; model of
womanhood; and when they heard
from the Jesuit or the Sulpician that,
by initiating her virtues, they might
share in her glory; when they saw the
Ursuline, the Hospitaliere, and the
daughter of Notre Dame, treading this
sanctified path, they gave up their
very hearts to the Immaculate Queen,
and besought her followers on earth
to teach, them the way to her protec-
ton. Nor less did the tall warrior
swear himself to her banner; the
wisest spake her praises by the. coun-
Gil fires of his tribe; the bravest
crowned his dusky forehead with the
grains of her rosary. Mary of the In
carnation could count two hundred red
skins in her schools; Marguerite of
the Blessed Sacrament saw them de-
voted Sisters Of her order In their
country the. missionary placed his
headquarters, ST. Mary's ,on the
Matchedash or Wye. There, at the
humble house dedicated to the Virgin
in one. year, three thousand guests
from the cabins Of the red man re-
,ceived a frugal welcome" And thence
the early Jesuits went forth to dis
coVery, to spiritual conquest, or to
martyrdom. In the cabin of the
Huron they sat as fathers of the tribe;
side by side. with the Huron they re-
ceived the deadly arrow, or felt the
keen scalping-knife of the Iroquois.

PLATING

when her mother had refused her a
ruff in the fashion of the day-a ruff
on which she had set her heart-she
wrote to st. Francis, begging him to
persuade her mother to- let her have
it.
st. Francis honored her request at
once and joined with her in the cam
paign to soften the obdurate maternal
heart. Il think the child would be SO
pleased to have those laces and stand
up ruffles,' he wrote to Madame de
Chantal; you see, / know something
about these things! Let her have a
fine ruff for high days and holidays
with lace on it, too. 1t cannot be
helped; girls must be little fine. :"
FRANCHISE got her ruff. Saints are
not so stern and rigorous as they are
sometimes pictured.

THE SACRED HEART AND THE
SACRED PASSION.

We are told Of Sister Madeleine
Orsini, by st. Alphonsus Liguori, that
during a time of great mental dis
ltress, when her heart was plunged
in a profound sadness, she heard our
Divine Lord exhorting her to resigna-
!tion from the Gross.
but, my Lord" she said in all her
simplicity, you hung upon the Cross
for three hours only, while l have
already endured this pain for many
years"
You understand but little of My
suffering" was His answer. From
the first moment of life in the womb
of My Mother, endured in My Heart
all that thereafter was to sufferlupon
the Cross
The beautiful and pious legend re-
veals to us a truth of which we our
selves may have thought but little in
the past. With Divine provision our
Lord foresaw, even from the first in
slant of His human existence, the
every detail of the unspeakable suffer
ings He was to welcome and endure
for love of us. Such was but one of
the many sufferings that constituted
the martyrdom Of the Heart Of Jesrs.
| He not merely foresaw all His Sa-
cr6 Passion, but longed for its ac-
complishment. Il have a BAPTISM .
He exclaimed, "wherewith i am to be
baptized and how am straitened UNI
It'll it be accomplished That baptism
was the baptism IN His own blood for
the redemption Of mankind.

He could not take up in His hands
the scroll of the Sacred Scriptures,
or hear them read aloud and expound-
ed to the people, or listen to them
as they were reverently recited by
Joseph and Mary, without probably
meeting with some reference to His
Own bitter Passion. All had been
foretold by the prophets and sung in
words of deepest pathos by the psalm
ist. In His sacred ears rang the very
words of mockery that should be cast
at Him as He was to hang upon the
Cross. Speaking in the name of the
suffering Messiah the prophet thus de-
scribed Him:
but am worm, and no man:
the reproach of men, and the outcast
of the people.
"All they that saw me have laughed
me to scorn: they have spoken with
the lips and have wagged the head.
"He hoped in the Lord, let him de-
liver him. let him save him"
For all those many years Christ
longed for the moment when He was
to give up His life for love of us; and
when that moment was come, He
would not then descend from the
Cross to save Himself, as His enc
mics invited Him to do in their satanic
mockery. He was to ascend it to
save, not Himself, but me. In His
Sacred Heart He had undergone that
crucifixion all His life, and how was
He straitened that He should suffer
it in all reality for our sake. Such is
the love of the Heart of Jesus.

Gus. The tabulated result of a close
study of S33 such marriages gave the
following figures regarding the chill
.dren sprung from these unions: 1871
were mentally defective, 262 were
idiots, 142 were deaf mutes, SO were
blind, SO were insane, 50 were epilep-
tic, "a were deformed, 299 were tuber4
:cular and S67 passed away very
young Only very few were normal
at the time of the Investigation. The
physical explanation offered is that
marriage between relatives permits
defects, which have been latent in the
family blood, to reappear in the chill
dren though the parents themselves
are not afflicted by them. This, how
ever; is presented as mere hypoth-

MOTHER.

God is good" she used to say
In her calm and gentle tone;
Dear old mother, worn and gray,
Sweetest face that l have known.
Childish grief that brought the tears
Passed when mother came and stood
Close beside to soothe my fears,
Whispering ever, God is good
Then, as time let down the bars,
And the world before me spread,
Shade and shine and gloom and stars
Alternating DER head,
Hope from out her smiling eyes
FLASHED across each heavy road,
Like an angel in disguise
Softly whispering, God is good"
Like an angel, did say?
Surely of the angels, she,
Ever faithful day by day,
Guardian angel unto me;
With the. angels now she dwells
And | fancy in the sky
This unto our Lord she tells,
Bless my boy. don't let him cry"

NATIVE PRiEsT1roF INDIA AN
AUTHOR.

Rev. S. Prakasar, o. M. l., is a mis-
sionary known to our readers. He is
a native priest of Ceylon, and has
added to the literature Of India by a
learned work on Philosophical Saliva
ism that has won some favorable cri-
ticism from the press. 1t serves also
to show the vain pretensions of the
theosophists who now form distinct
enemy to the spread of Christianity.
The London Tablet. says:
''This book, dealing with the relig-
ion of silva, has exceptional value
not only from the careful character
of it's research and, on the whole,
excellent style, but from the nation
atty of it's author. 1t is exactly what
we want; mind in tune by heredity
and national instinct with what it ex-
amines, yet consciously accepting the
Christian system, and capable of COM
pairing the two, will produce work OF
far greater value than any student
alien by birth and instinct, however
deliberately impartial Theosophists
would have us hold that below the
popular. forms of Eastern creeds lies
superb substratum of philosophical
and ethical material. That is not so;
and books like this should be multi
Iplied, to disilIusionize our hoodwink
ed Western enthusiasts.

THE HUMAN SIDE OF THE SAINT.

There was a great friendship be-
tween the family of st. Jane Frances
Chanta1, foundress of the Order of the
Visitation, especially between her
daughter FRANCHISE, and the gentle
Bishop, st. Francis de Sales. Fran
coise dearly loved fine clothes; she
was not at all of the mind of her
friend, st. Francis, who laughingly
told her that he only got things when
he had to have them not even once
a year. He had no objection, how
ever, to seeing her decked out in her
