pines that crowned both hill and
vale-how thine evergreen branches
were tossed so high in the heavens
rs mad flames darted hither and
thither, and mighty thunders roared
in d storm-laden sky--only to- emerge
with a renewed beauty Of color that
has never been excelled!
A century and Il quarter and five
generations have passed and gone
since this neighborhood was first
settled; and, as the text says of our
fathers. Where are they? Behold,
we do not live always"
1t is the better part Of wisdom and
a true knowledge Of self-interest that
Il man seek the Lord with a sincere
heart-even to press closely after
Him during the brief sojourn here.
When life's sun has finally set be-
hind the western hills, and the dark
and ghostly shadows of night ap-
pear, then the spirit means within,
and trains Of thought come wheeling
by-Oh, that l had lived better
life! Why were those hands so
strong toward mischief and so weak
in doing good? Why spent l my
life at outs and open enmity with
my Creator only to know all the
while that l was fighting a losing
battle? Why crept | out of church
once in while, only to embrace the
filthy and degraded illegitimate, to
join the blue Gummed Club" and
help profane the Sabbath, pollute
and defame the church and BIAS
pheme the God Of Heaven? Since
wickedness is catching, if man
loses out in the next world, it is
mighty apt to be caused by keeping
vile and degraded company in this
world.
Perhaps our forefathers Thought
on these things and desired to flee
the wrath to come. They went out
and built Pleasant Hill and Holly
Springs churches, and on meeting
days how those primitive log
churches vibrated with melody!
Services began with song and prayer.
Later came the song of all songs
which has brought tears to many an
eye:
There is fountain filled with
blood,
Drawn from Emmanuel's veins,
And sinners plunged beneath that
food
Lose all their guilty stains.
Dear, dying Lamb, thy precious
blood
Shall never lose it's power,
Till all the ransomd church of God
BE sav'd to sin no more.
'Ih"u 10 ID noliNr. awecrcr song,

The good minister then dropped
tender words in those hearts. which
came like minute rain-drops falling
upon thirsty flowers

"GOD BLESS YOU"

People who are polite will at least
say thank you," when a. service is
done them or a favor granted or OBJ
tanned for them; there are different
forms of expressing thanks or graft
tude, but most of them have not so
sweet a sound as the God bless you,"
falling from the lips of Irish people
from Ireland, usually old people, who
learned to say those three words in
the old country. We do not often
hear them in this country-now.
To say God bless you, my child"
was habit with, for example, the late
Most Rev. P. ]. Ryan, Archbishop of
Philadelphia. If you remember read
ing about his last hours, you know
they were his parting words to the
persons who were present when he
died. But he was simply practicing
his customary way of saying goodbye.
In The Missionary for February there
is an article entitled "a Convert of
Many Years." written by Countess
Spottiswood Mackin, president of the
Alumnae of Nazareth Academy, Ken
lucky. The first paragraph is this:
when child | lived in St. Louis
in the neighhorhood of the Catholic
Church of which the late Monsignor
Ryan, Archbishop of Philadelphia,
then simple priest, was the pastor.
Every afternoon Father Ryan was in
the habit of taking constitutional.
When he passed my home, impelled
by certain sympathy, which l now
ascribe to the grace of God, | ran out
of the grounds in disobedience to my
nurse, and caught his hand, and would
run along by his side for little way.
Upon leaving him, he would say:
God bless you, my child and per-
haps he said little prayer for my
conversion"
1t is a prayer to say, God bless
you, my child Anyhow, the child
in the case was converted and says
she is happier every year since she
became a Catholic. There must be
many people who could tell a similar
story about that God bless you, my
child of Archbishop Ryan, and of SO
many other priests who learned the
little prayer from the old people they
knew when children themselves in
Catholic Ireland.
The name of God is not so fire.
quently heard, reveren1y spoken, in
the everyday lives of people in Ameri-
ca, not even in the homes of Catho-
lies. If one should often say, God
bless you, my child he or she would
probably be considered queer" in
this smart land and day. ..

the Dresden Amen" and another
beautiful melody resembling the an
cient plain chant theme of the Alma
Redemptoris," and Sullivan in his
Golden Legend" has a setting of the
.'Nocte Surgentes," based on a Gre
gorian hymn of the Middle Ages.
But it is not of fragments of church
melody, incidentally introduced into
certain works, that it is the purpose
here to speak, but of whole oratorios
and such like works for which the
Catholic Church has formed the in
spiration. Such work is Gounod's
great oratorio, "The Redemption" in
which the story of the Divine Re-
deemer goes through all it's phases
till it eliminates in the charge to the
Apostles and the commission to go
forth into all the world and teach. In
order to properly illustrate his Won
drous theme Gounod uses the plain
chant melody of the ''Vexilla Regis"
and the old French tune usually sung
to the hymn, ''Stabat Mater Dolorosa,"
while the finale is an imitation of one
of the old proses SO long used in the
Church of France. +
One of the most notable figures in
the English-speaking musical world is
unquestionably the Catholic composer,
Edward Elgar. Since Purcell, Eng
land has produced no other great mu-
steal genius. The work which estab-
lished his fame was the Dream of
Gerontius," serving as it did for the
expression of his first developed ideas.
A great part of Cigars success in this
work is no doubt due to the COM
poser's complete sympathy with his
text, which arises in great part from
the possession of the same religious
faith as the poet.
The second great oratorio of Sir Ed
ward Elgar is the Apostles in some
ways his most remarkable work The
text-written by Elgar himself-is
concerned with the building of the
Catholic Church. Bits of old Hebrew
melodies are encrusted in the score,
and one of the finest portions of the
WOIh Is LuS SC6uc VI 1lC
of the Bread" Important themes are
introduced in this portion of the work
and in consequence of this and their
wondrous musical treatment, the awe
and solemnity of the scene is really
tremendous. The theme symbolizing
the Real Presence at the Breaking
of the Bread" is based on an Anti
phon, 20 Sacrum Convivium' GO Sa-
cred Feast'O, dating from the twelfth
or thirteenth century. The foregoing
illustrations will serve in some small
measure to show that the influence of
the Catholic Church and it's teaching
are having a gradually increasing and
widening influence upon the great mu-
steal works of today. The Holy Spirit
of God, dwelling within the Church,
| is sending forth His wisdom and I'm
| derstanding"' into the hearts of our
great composers, and inspiring them
to take part in the preaching of the
doctrines of Catholicism by the means
of their compositions.

THE TREASURE OF OUR CHURCH
MUSIC.

How tell with pen, portray on can
vas, chisel from marble the magic
and inspiring beauty of the effect
of music on the soul of the indi-
vidual? Of mans many and beaute-
Gus creations none SO inspire and
the strains. of some perfectly COM
posed instrumental harmony or some
vocal selection, as the notes or words
come like living Goals to fall on the
soul of the listener and kindle therein
aspirations that lose all earthly dross;
lift ones very being to mingle with
immortals in a realm that knows moth
ing of the smoothing shadows of a
transient human life.
The Catholic Church Celebrates and
enriches her sacred ceremonies with
the lofty music of the organ and the
mingled voices of the choir, observes
the Indiana Catholic. D just as Saint
Philip Neri spontaneously sang the
prayers of the last Mass which he
celebrated, SO is all true religious
music but. an exalted prayer-an ex-
ultant and perfect expression of re-
ligious emotion. AS man owes to God
that which is highest and most beau
tiful, music may employ on these oc-
casions her noblest and most effective
means
When studying the great musical
works of modern times, one cannot
fail to be impressed with the infiu-
ence of the Catholic Church on the
scheme of these compositions. There
are many works by modern composers
in which fragments of ancient church
melody form the, themes of choruses
and instrumental movements. Such
fragments of the old church themes
may be found in the Chandos An
thems of Handel, the 'Lauda Sion" Of
Mendelssohn, the symphonies of the
same composer, and IN many other
works of recent date. Wagner in the
Yorspiel ! to Parsifal has introduced

UNJUsTLY ACQUIRED PROPERTY.

For some time past series of
articles on the Ten Commandments
has been running in the Hartford
Transcript. In the latest chapter the
writer comments on the seventh and
the tenth, in which there are laid
down certain obligations respecting
the means of life, those material
goods or possessions which are con-
sidered essential to human susie
nance.
The precept Thou shalt not steal"
in so far as it is negative COM
mand, prohibits every act by which |
might injure> my neighbours right to
his goods or fortune. Viewed in an
affirmative sense, the commandment
bids me render my neighbor his right
to those goods, whether they be
money or the possessions or property
usually convertible into money. And
not only must | refrain from any ex-
ternal act of injury against my neigh
boris goods, but also even from any
internal act, that is, from any desire
in that direction, according to the
Tenth Commandment, which, for con-
venience sake, we shall treat of con-
jointly with the seventh. The tenth
precept, as we know, reads, in es-
sence: Thou shalt not covet thy
neighbours goods
Both these commandments hinge Oh
that virtue which is known as COM
INITIATIVE justice, or the rights of men
in relation to one another For JUS
tice is said to obtain when we yield
to another what of right is his own.
1t is by justice, together with charity,
that mans intercourse with his neigh
Dor is regulated. Charity, however, is
manifested when, out of what belongs
to ourselves, we aid our neighbor in
his necessity; justice, on the other
hand, leads us to render to our neigh
Dor what is properly his own The
reason for it's importance among the
cardinal virtues is apparent
Our Rights.
We are all familiar with the term
rights We speak of "our rights.
OF respecting another's rights" etc.,
without, perhaps, clearly understand
ing what the words convey. Let us
see briefly what the term means.
First of all, mans dignity, and his
superiority oyer all the material and
| animal creatures that surround him,
| is consequent to his creation in the
image OF God, and the eternal end for
which God created him. In order that
he may work out his destiny in ac-
| cordance with the designs of his Gre
| ator. he is invested with rights"
| God-given and primordial, antecedent
to the state and Independent of it.
These are his natural rights, conse-
quent to his nature, sacred in their
origin, and inviolable. He may, in
addition, be given further rights.
either, for instance, from the Church.
or from the state. Or he may, by his
industry, by manual labor, toll or ex-
ertion, acquire further rights. And
/ all of these rights, from whatsoever
source they may have been obtained.
are the object of the virtue of justice.
That virtue requires that every person
/ should be left free to enjoy all the
rights that have properly become his.

FORTUNE TELLING CONDEMNED
BY THE CHURCH.

Father Hull, S. j., writes with his
usual clarity of thought and style
on subject curiously interesting to
many persons. He says in the Bonn
bay Examiner in reply to a query:
I'VE have often answered questions
on this subject; but can satisfy our
correspondent as follows:
The Church condemns palmistry
and astrology, not because its pro-
nouncements brighten people when
they are bad, but because they are
superstitious. rrs. ..,.
According to our theology, no hui
man mind can know the future, ex-
cept so far as it can be nationally
calculated from the present. For in
stance, can see that a barrel of pow
der will explode as soon as the burn
ing fuse reaches it. | can know, that
certain vices will undermine health
and bring disease. l can know that
the sun will rise tomorrow (unless
the last :. judgment intervenes), be-
cause nature works in certain regular
lines. "
But this is merely calculation
from cause to effect. / cannot fore
see anything future which is not
written in causes present before my
eyes. | cannot foresee that So-and-
SO will propose at the age of twenty
one and be refused; or that he will be
killed by lightning next year but one;
or that he will meet with financial
ruin at the age of forty 1.-TWO. If man
cannot foresee such purely future
events. neither can any created mind,
angel or devil, do SO either. God
alone with His infinite mind has the
power of knowing the future, because
the past, present, and future are
equally in His consciousness. 80
ANY claim contrary to this prin-
Iciple must be fraud or delusion, and
therefore superstition. There is no
conceivable way by which such future
events can be written in the stars,
or in the mans palm. Hence these
arts are condemned by the Church,
because they assert a form of knoWl-
edge which does not exist, and inter
pref the universe in terms contradic-
tory to those in which God has Gre
ated it.
IF anyone pretends to acquire this
knowledge by dealing with occult
spiritual beings, we answer: Such
things can only have that knowledge
sif God has revealed it to them 1t
is contrary to Gods ways to reveal
such knowledge, except to His own
accredited prophets-who must prove
that they are really sent by God: If
spirits pretend to have such aknewl-
edge, they must be evil spirits trying
to deceive mankind; and all dealings
with evil spirits is treason against
God, and forbidden by His Commands
ments. So
Therefore, if these arts pretend to
be purely scientific, they are to be dis
credited as frauds and delusions. If
they pretend to rest on communica-
ton of spirits they are not only fraud
ulent (since the spirits do not pos
sess. such knowledge but also crimi-
nal and offensive, to Cod
