THE LAMP OF THE SANCTUARY.

When you enter a Catholic church
or chapel you at once notice the light
in the sanctuary giving token of the
presence of our Eucharistic Lord.
e may be no worshippers in the
peWs, no chanter in the choir, but the
little lamp must be there to give
honor to the Redeemer Who chooses
to dwell in temples erected by His
children.
This ever-burning lamp is one of
many features which distinguishes
otr churches from non-Catholic places
a worship. The Catholic instructive
" Looks for the bright light before
or near the tabernacle when he en-
tiers one of our churches. But he
ought not to be satisfied with seeing
the lamp. and finding it burning. 1t
should remind him of a holy and sub
lime duty.
The duty is to honor and reverence
the loving Saviour Who is really pres
ent. The rush and turmoil of the
city and its busy commerce flow IN
interruptedly, all day long, past the
church-door. So few Catholics even
though they have ample time, think
of entering for a brief spell to bend
the knee in homage to Him from
Whom all blessings proceed. They
would certainly, if they enter the sac,
red house of God with faith in their
hearts, leave the church uplifted and
with confidence in their souls. for
their little visit of alteration.
Many think how dark and
gloomy life. would become, we're all
our temples suddenly closed and the
Divine Master banished from our
midst. Let us pray that this will
never happen. But why not show
ourselves more appreciative of this
splendid gift of God-His continuous
presence on the altar of the Catholic
Church? Love demands love in re
turn. And greater love no one hath
shown than the Son of, God in taking
up His home among men.
You will now understand, perhaps,
why some members of certain relig,
ious communities spend many hours
in prayer and meditation, and chant.
ing our beautiful liturgical hymns, in
presence of the Blessed Sacrament,
You never realized what it meant
that silent and impressive scene-of
many white-robed Sisters coming and
going before the altar and taking
their places as. adorers of the Lord
of Heaven and earth. They are max.
ing up for the neglect and sad for:
g~etfulness of many souls, who never
think of spending any time in the
church, beyond that required fol
hearing the Sunday Mass. You will
mo; longer say that these devout wor
shippers. who come daily to the Altar
of God, are engaged In proftless du
ties. ~
Perhaps you may find a few min
utes to spare "for a visit to the
Blessed Sacrament" on your way tc
and from work, or while passing the
church during the day. Enter Their
and kneel before Him, Whose hell
you need in these trying days; Gods
r hand is not shortened, and you will
receive inspiration and courage to &C
through your days work more gladly
and in a Christian spirit.

BY Fred Ferguson, With the Amer

Americans have found the grave of
Lieut.. Quentin Roosevelt at the edge
OF Chameray wood. marked with
wooden cross.
Late yesterday afternoon the Yanks
crossed the Vesle river on foot bridges
improvised from the trunks of trees
lashed together. They waded through
the marshes along the south bank and
charged up the steep northern bank
in the face of heavy machine gun fire.
The germans rallied and attempted
a counter attack, but were repulsed.
The advance made yesterday was
in the midst of heavy rain, but when
the attack was renewed this morning
on a larger scale the weather cleared.
Heavy fighting is in progress on a
wide front north of the Vesle river

aviation requires a type of aviator

must have mutual feeling of con-

TELLS OF LIFE AND
EXPERIENCES OF A "GIMPER'

Lieutenant Eddie Rickenbacker, the
famous American ace and former
auto speed king, tells the story of the
life and adventures of the American
aviators at the front in series of ten
articles to be published in The Inde-
pendent beginning this week.
The American aviators in France
have evolved a brand new language
to fit the new life of the air fighters
in this most romantic phase of the
great war.
" Rickenbacker is Americas head
gimper," writes Frank ]. Taylor, Unit
ed Press Staff Correspondent. "Gim-
