PUBLISHING THE BANNs.

Numerous remedies for the ever
increasing disregard for the sanctity
of the marriage-tie have been sug-
gested. 1t has been generally con-
coded that a great number of our
present-day divorces are the result of
hasty and secret marriage.
From the beginning the Church has
followed a practice which goes far to
remove this one cause of divorce.
Very early in her history the mem
bers of the Church were obliged to
report proposed marriage dates to the
Bishop. AS the Church grew these
matters were attended to by the
parish priest. In France the custom
of publishing the names of those in
tending to marry was introduced in the
twelfth century.
In the United States the First
Plenary Council of Baltimore, in 1852,
decreed that the law of publication of
banns should be observed throughout
the country and that dispensation be
granted only for very grave reasons.
This law, first made general by the
Council of Lateran in 1915, and three
centuries and a half later confirmed
by the Council of Trent, decreed that
before the celebration of any marriage,
the names of the contracting parties
should be announced publicly three
times in their respective parish
churches during the solemnization of
the Mass by their own parish priest
upon three consecutive holy days.
Originally, it was necessary to- make
the announcement at the principal
Mass, but at present not only can it
be made at any. Mass on the prescribed
day, but publication at only one Mass
is required.
THAT publication of the banns is a
safeguard against an invalid marriage
can readily be seen. Upon hearing of
a proposed marriage, any person who
/ is morally certain of an impeachment
| to the intended marriage has an oppor-
tunity to report such information to
Che parish priest, who, thus warned,
delays the marriage until proper in
Vestigation has been made.
In some parts of Europe publication
of the banns is required by civil law.
| In Austria the civil code declares a
| marriage invalid unless at least one
| publication of the banns has been
made. The same practice obtains in
England and France. In Switzerland
even promise of marriage does not
become valid until reported at the
town hall, and the marriage cannot
take place until three weeks after.
The betrothal is placarded outside
the building.
From many parts of the United
States we. hear demands for just such
a law. 1t is recognized by the thought.
full as a death blow to the marrying
parson," and the hasty and ill-advised
marriage.

SOLVES EVERY PROBLEM.

1t can not be said of the Catholic
Church, at least that she is more
concerned with the sweet by-and-by
than about the bitter here-and-now,
says Rev. Doctor Downey in The Cath
olic Times, London. There is no
problem of life SO ephemeral, no scru-
pie of morals so personal, but she is
ready with her solution or her relief.
Unfortunately, many, even of her chill
dren, are ignorant of the full extent
of the treasures that she has to offer.
AS every problem Of mathematics is
worked out by correct manipulation of
the figures from one to ten, so, too,
every problem affecting the soul of
man is soluble on Christian principles.
To plead for more figures to work out
a sum would be to plead for an alb.
surdity. If we can not work the sum,
the fault is not in the figures, but in
our ignorance of their application.
And if we can not see our way clear
through the problems that disturb our
souls, the fault is not in the principles
of Christianity but in our ignorance
of their application.

CHILDHOOD sANcTIFIED.

Our Lord, Himself, in His infinite
mercy wished to be born a small
child in order to sanctify and to con-
secrate childhood, says Bishop Cant

Hike benediction upon all Christian
children.
The Holy Ghost hovers over the
years of childhood and breathes upon
tender age. its ,attraetiveness, it's glad
someness and it's, innocence He be-
slows upon the infant soul that won
derful radiance which so plainly in
dieates the peace and the grace that
dwell therein.
Our SaViour's words so full of love
and tender care for the little chill
dren have been imprinted, for now
two thousand years upon the heart of
the Catholic Church and have been
an inspiration unto parents and
teachers. In the strength of Christ's
example great things have been done
for the little ones
It is to parents that the words of
Christ were especially spoken; to
them has God confided His children
who are the creation of His love,
the parents being but the instruments
of their existence. The faithful full
fillment of the duty incumbent upon
Christian fathers and Christian moth.
ers to look after the temporal and
spiritual welfare of their children is
of such Importance that on the day OF
accounting it will be a matter upon
which their salvation shall largely
depend.
Parents, therefore, have the grave
and conscientious duty of preparing
a solid foundation in the hearts OF
their children upon which to erect
in maturer years a strong Christian
character.

In contrast to these ephemeral

Law were written under her eye and
were preserved unadulterated by her

DEVOTION OF THE NINE TUES
DAYS.

The beginning of this devotion may
be traced to ST. Anthony himself, in
whose honor it is practiced. A lady of
Bologna appealed to the saint in 1917
and the saint appeared to her and
spoke these words go on nine con-
secutiye Tuesdays and visit the chapel
of Friars Minor; there receive the
Holy Communion and thy prayers
shall be granted This novena may
begin at any time, and be made for
nine Tuesdays There are no in
dulgences attached to the nine con-
secutive Tuesdays, but a plenary in
diligence is gained every Tuesday in
all Franciscan chapels in which the
Blessed Sacrament is exposed and
prayers said to the saint, provided the
faithful receive the Sacraments, visit
the church during the time of EXPOSE
ton and pray for the intentions of
the Holy Father. No special prayers
are prescribed. A plenary Indulgence
each day for thirteen consecutive
Tuesdays or Sundays, to begin at any
time has been granted for all churches
by Pope Leo XIII of blessed memory
to those who receive the Sacraments
and perform some pious works or say
some prayers to our Lord and st. An

"oLD MAIDS"

A prominent priest has forwarded
to the Ecclesiastical Review" letter
sent to him by a parishioner pro-
testing against the expression "old
maid" in the pulpit.
The writer of the letter says of the
practice:
1t is not only un-Christian, but
rather coarse don't you think?
While the clergymen may have no old
maids in their families, other clergy
men may have unmarried sisters or
aunts. I heard a preacher recently
make the astonishing statement that
old maids are a curse, I don't sup
pose our Saviour ever said anything
similar. 1t hurt me and others very
much indeed, but afforded amusement
to a number of the congregation.
