Instead of holding to one good book,
and trying to regulate their lives and
actions by its teachings, most people
wander aimlessly from book to book
never finding one to suit them. The
unquenchable thirst for variety on the
part of the Catholic public has result
ed in the production of countless

are weak and watery to the last de

satisfy any one, and it is not regret

ST. Matthew V, %. The Council of
Trent has said that sins of thought
sometimes wound the soul more griev-
ously in outer acts. Why so? Be-
cause they are committed with great
er facility and less fear; committed
oftener and in greater number, and
are generally more difficult to avoid.
At the idea of doing an act, the con-
science becomes at once uneasy; and
therefore the devil always precedes
his temptations to impure conduct by
tempting to impure thoughts. every

SOLID SPIRITUAL READING.

It would seem that natural result
of the abundance and variety of devo-
tional literature now circulated among
Catholics should be a more ardent
spirit of piety and more vigorous re-
igious life. Such, however, is not the
case, says Father Hudson in the Ave
Maria. There was a quality in the
piety of our forefathers which is very
much lacking in our own, and their
lives were unquestionably less worldly.
The reason for this, so far as books
are concerned, is not far to seek. The
old-fashioned works of meditation and
spiritual reading were more solid and
they were more constantly used
Books whose authors names began
with an S were always preferred; and
they became the life companions of
their owners, exercising an enduring
influence on character and conduct.
Nowadays standard works of piety are
not the fashion. "The Spiritual Com
bat which ST. Francis de Sales al
ways carried with him, reading some
portion of it every day, is little known
to the present generation of Catholics;

THE SPIRIT OF GREAT JOAN.

Back of each soldier who fights for
France,
Ave. back of each woman and man
Who tolls and prays through these
long, tense days,
Is the spirit of Great Joan;
For the love she gave and the life
she gave,
In the eyes of God sufficed
To crown her with light and power
and might,
In her embassy from Christ.
And so in that hour at the Marine she
came
To the seeing eyes of men,
And the blind of view still felt and
knew
That her spirit had come again.
And she will come in each crucial hour
And joy shall follow despair,
For Joan sees her France on it's knees
And she hears the voice of it's prayer.
There is no hate in the heart of
France,
No passion of brutal force;
She takes her stand for her wor-
shipped land
And cannot be swerved from her
course.
For this is the way with France al
ways
Her courage comes from faith;
And she bends her knee ere she
straightens her arm
In her forward rush toward death.
A jungle of beasts in many land,
War to the world laid bare;
And war has revealed that France con,
cealed
Only the lions lair
A lioness fighting to save her own,
She fights as the lioness can;
And strength to the end shall the I'm
seen send
In the spirit of Great Joan.

INTRODUCED TO YOURSELF.

Some of US need an introduction to
ourselves. Often the self of our
imagination is about as much like the
real article as light is like darkness.
What we call sensitiveness, our plain
spoken acquaintance regard as bad
temper; and so with countless other
qualities which we designate by agree
able names to which they have no
shadow of right. While it is true that
others do not always judge us fairly,
an outside opinion is less likely to be
prejudiced than our own; and, if the
majority of our acquaintances are
agreed in thinking us selfish and IN
lovable, there is every reason to sup
pose that they are right. 1t is a good
thing to stand off now and then and
look at ourselves through others eyes,
for, in so doing, we become acquaint-
ed, not with the idealized self of our
dreams, but with the real self which
daily manifests it's true characteris-
tics in dealing with other people.

How refreshing and pleasing it is to
see occasionally a young lady who
dresses sensibly and modestly. Such
a lady commands respect and is not
liable to be stared at or made target
for ungentlemanly remarks by young
men who smoke cigarettes and whose
morals are pretty badly blunted.
Catholic mothers should do all in
their power towards overcoming the
craze for freakish, ridiculous styles in
dress. BY so doing they will render
a service to their daughters that will
be appreciated by them in after years
and by the community in which they
live also.
The thoughtful young man who is
seriously contemplating matrimony, is
not very liable to choose for a wife, a
young lady who exposes her charms
for the gaze of men, young or middle
aged, who have no respect for her
and who frequently drop remarks in
her hearing that are coarse and vile
The National League of Catholic
Women's Clubs and all other organi
cations composed of Catholic women
should take a decided stand against
immodesty in dress; it is to say the
least, demoraliZing.

entire glory of this greatest Of men is
in doing and thinking and praying
most nightly and most silently.
1t behooves us to worship. that kind
OF holiness, and to consider our own
opportunities in practicing it, says
writer. We are, however, to guard
against an unholy silence. There is
a sullen silence, showing bitter
spirit; there is a cowardly silence,
Sinking the defense of ones neighbor
from biting tongues; there is vicious
silence, mutely consenting to evil.
There is holy silence which is
Joseph's, the silence of love in the
presence of the Beloved, when speech
would profane the sacredness of Ones
feelings-prayerful thoughts broken
only by occasional calculations. No
one can hope to be a spiritual man
till he has learned the value of that
silence
If you would see deep down into the
waters of pond, the surface must be
still, so with the study of the heart.

motives have been, stop still for a few
days and look inWards. Blessed are

Jesus goes quietly down to Nazareth,
and is subject to Mary and Joseph for

most absolute. After that three years
of alternating prayer and work and
suffering were enough to redeem the

Origen says of St. John the Baptist

open, and God more formular, so that

come, he might employ himself in
prayer in the company of angels. y"

81. Harnack's Explanation of
Miracles.

objection: Harnack, the foremost
Protestant historian of Germany,
forms FIVE groups of miracles of Jesus:
l. Wonder reports which arose
from exaggerations of natural, impress
sslve happenings:
2 Wonder reports which arose from
sayings and parallels, or from the pro-
jections of inward processes into the
outer world;
3. Those which arose from the de-
sire to see the Old Testament prophe-
cies fulfilled;
4. Surprising cures which the spir-
itual power of Jesus wrought;
Inscrutable events. ("Wesen des
Christentums-Ess of Christian
ity, p. 10. English translation: What
is Christianity?")
Answer: "Inscrutable events are
evidently events that cannot be ex-
planned naturally, such as the raising
of Lazarus. This admission is valu-
able; it is sufficient for us. In his
calculation his quotient evidently does
not come out even, and instead of cor
Tecting his example, he keeps on figur-
ing.
But the surprising cures" under
number four speak against Harnack.
How can Jesus without miracle by
a mere spiritual power" make the
blind and those born blind see, the
lame walk, cleanse the lepers, and
make the. dumb speak? Certainly,
even Harnack's spiritual power"
could not effect such cures. 1t takes
divine power for that.
Or will Harnack follow Renan? (Cf
No. CD. 1t we're a pity for Harnack.
Repelling is the attempted eXplana-
ton of 1-3 in which the Evangelists
are put under suspicion and it is in
simulated that they exaggerated or de-
ceived purposely or involuntarily. The
projections of inward processes into
the outer world can hardly mean any
thing else than that the Evangelists
either considered Authorizations (men-
proposed their hallucinations and
dreamings as true history.
And still Harnack takes them other
wise as authentic and creditable writ
ers. They are therefore reliable when
they suit Harnack, and unreliable
when they do not suit him. Is such
double-dealing honest?
Harnack is guilty of real falsifica-
ton of the text when he says (p. 49,:
Christ could not work any miracles
in Nazareth because the people were
unbelieving" We read Matthew 10:
So: HE wrought not many miracles
there, because of their unbelief'; not
many but some; and st. Mark says
60: HE could not do many mir
acles there, only that he cured few
that were sick, laying his hands upon
them"
The miracle is the seal of divine
truthfulness and sanctity. Christ
called Himself the true Son of God
and in proof of this worked miracles,
which even the infdel has to admit
Hence He has proved His divinity to
our satisfaction.
The most striking miracle is the
resurrection of Christ.

THE MASS HELPS MEN IN SERV.
ICE.

In the midst of our war activities,
which are being prosecuted with such
admirable enthusiasm, credit must not
be denied the influence of our Catho-
lie leaders, to whom the debt of the
nations officials has more than once
been publicly acknowledged. The
faithful throughout the country have
a telling part to play in the nations
work. In their efforts, spiritual as
well as material, they cannot afford to
relax as the days go on. Especially
is this true of the almost limitless as
sistance which may be rendered
through the medium of prayer. One
of our Western bishops took occasion
not long ago to remind his flock that
Catholics have greater opportunities
of aiding the men in service than any
others in the world. They have the
Mass and prayer. The Church is open
at all times, inviting Catholics to come
before the Blessed Sacrament, and Of
fer little prayer for the loved ones
who are fighting the battles of right
eousness on the fields of France But
there is very little sacrifice, very
little prayer and very little hearing of
Mass. On afternoons when Catholics
should as often as possible drop in
and say prayer, the church is often
deserted. Although Mass is said daily
in the Cathedral at hours that are
within the convenience of all, there
are but very few who attend the
Masses" In common with the pre-
late here quoted, the chief pastors
throughout the land have called their
fiocks to a patriotic service that is
within the reach of all. Individual
Catholics who fail to hearken to this
call cannot feel that they are doing
their full duty, either to the cause of
the country, or to the men who are
battling for it, and who themselves
acknowledge, in every mail that
reaches us, that they want the help of
prayer.

He WOULD NOT INTERFERE.

An admirer of the late Joel Chandler
Harris recalls, for the benefit of the
readers of America, that the famous
writer, although not Catholic, was
quite content to entrust the education
of his children to Catholic teachers.
He placed his daughter in convent
school, and felt privileged to be able
to have them with those devoted Sis
ters, who have the art of developing
young minds" Nor did he interfere,
as so many parents seem inclined to
do, with the rules and discipline of
the institution that housed his chill
dren. In letter to one of his daugh-
ters he reminds her that 1--WE, as we'll
as you, must be governed by the rules.
If the Mother Superior decides that
this particular case is an infraction
of the rules -. then it would be
better not to correspond with C. You
see the question has a wider bearing
than your own personality, and the
Mother Superior must judge of it's i'm
portance." Those in charge of our
educational institutions would have far
more peace of mind, and their young
charges far better results were there
more parents of the Joel Chandler
Harris type.

THE WORD "cHRIsTIANlTY."

The most interesting paper in the
September Catholic World is Hilaire
Belloc's article "On the Word Chris
tianity'" He maintains that it is a
neologism that has come into cur
reney during the past $50 years and
that there was no word used any,
where until after the Reformation
which can be correctly translated as
christianity. Mr. Belloc's objection
to the term is this:
"The word Christianity connotes
the historic existence of an unreal
thing; of something which never did
exist, never will exist, and in the ma
ture of things never can have existed.
1t connoteS a common religion which
never was or could be. The word
Christianity connotes a general idea
of which the Catholic Church is but a
particular example, and that is bad
history. There is no general idea of
which the Catholic Church is a par
ticular example. The plain historical
fact is that the Catholic Church is a
certain thing or historical phenome-
non or institution from which other
things have broken away forming
sects or heresies, as the Catholic
Church calls them, but there is no
one thing in common both to this in
stitution and to the welter of those
who have been derived from but have
quarreled with it. -
There is such a thing, however,
as Catholicism, the idea to which the
institution called the Catholic Church
conforms, says America. But there
never has been real thing to which
the idea Christianity" could CORE
spond. The only real Christianity has
always been Catholicism.

HEART AND BRAINS.

There is a certain bird of prey that
eats nothing but the heart of the ami
mails it kills; there are others that
eat only the brains. The devil preys
on both heart and brains. He tries
increasingly to ensnare our souls. Our
heart is an object for his rage; and
he, tries to conquer by evil sugges-
tions, impure thoughts and imaginings.
He triumphs if he succeeds in Undue
ing the heart to entertain voluntarily
an impure desire. He also attacks
the brain; blinds the understanding;
suggests that not much harm is being
done. He has persuaded many people
that sins Of thought and desire are Of

DREAMED OF HIM LAST NIGHT

l dreamed of Him last night saw
His face
All paled with grief and fraught with
agony
heard His cry in grim Gethsemane,
And saw Him standing in the market

Wherein they scourged Him fore the
pOpulace;
Upon His bruised back l saw them lay
The Cross that crushed Him down
upon the way
The sign of degradation and disgrace;
saw the blows that did the brutal
deed,
And on GoIgotha's crest l saw Him
bleed;

And 10! He bowed His bleeding head
and died.
And in my dream stared-for-

With nails in hand-red with His
