KEEP YOUR MIND FRESH.

You cannot have a fresh, vigorous,
alert mind unless you treat your mind
right and give it a chance to expand
If you keep it cooped up all the time
in one small spot it will gradually be-
come stale and uninterested. A mind
that is not interested must become
more or less inactive, and we all
know that the mind is very much
like the body-it needs exercise for
growth.
Often when we feel dull and have
no wish to exert either the mind or
the body we are in need of nothing
more serious than walk up the
street. Or a talk with a friend may
give us new mental life Even page
from a new book may help, though
when the mind is very tired it usual
ly- needs contact with real life. rather
than with that which lies between the
covers of a book.
There is nothing in the world so
deadly as getting into a rut We all
do this now and then, and we always
pay by doing work which is more or
less mediocre, besides missing the
real pleasure of effort.

PARENTS WHO HAVE SPUNk.

A high school principal of Sacra-

comments on the hue and cry about
new methods of education. He says:
Il do not hesitate to say that in my
opinion the children Of today do not
need vocational guides so much as
they need a new set of parents;
parents who have spunk enough to
crawl back upon the thrones in their
own households which they have alb
Dictated in favor of their children;
parents who have energy enough to
get their children out of bed in the
morning early enough for them to
wash their faces, comb their hair and
lace their shoes without schools be-
ing obliged to give promotion credits
for their doing SO; parents who when
the shades Of night begin to fall look
after their boys with the same degree
of care that they give to their bull
pup, which they chain up lest he as

UNDERWRITING THE MASS.

THE best manner and method of
saving ones time," said Frederick
Ozanam, lis to sacrifice a half hour
daily for the holy Mass We wonder
what he would think of those Catholic
young men who find that they cannot
spare a half hour on Sunday for this
purpose. Realizing that they must go
usually a short Mass and they
shorten the time still more by coming
in late, and leaving when the priest
begins the last gospel. To say moth
ing of the irreverence, it is an un-
mannerly sight to see young men, and
young women also, spring to theig feet
and hasten from the church while the
priest is still on the altar. 81
These young people cannot plead
ignorance. Many of them are parish
school graduates, and in their school
days were carefully drilled in revefent
attendance at the holy Sacrifice 1t
is another kind of ignorance that must
be responsible for their conduct. The
ignorance that comes of over-weening
self-importance and selfishness. Pos
sibly these offenders against rever-
ence and courtesy imagine that others
are impressed by their hurried exit,
indicating that time is SO precious.
We have seen young men whose usual
occupation before the war was lolling
on street corners, rush from the
church as if it were. on fire; they
couldn't wait for the closing prayers.
But the governor of the state waited,
and remained in prayer fifteen min
utes after the ceremonies were over.
1t may be taken for granted that
the Catholic who cannot give a half
hour OF his time on Sunday to hear
ing Mass, spends his days to little

PRAYER AS A HABIT.

There is no habit so necessary to
the power of the disciples life and
the effectiveness Of his work as that
of prayer. Not simply an occasional
half-hour supplication, however ear
nest, but habit Or frame of mind
which makes direct and definite petit
ton natural and spontaneous, at any
time and about anything; prayerful
contact with Gods life and power, so
that every touch on the part of others
brings on virtue from it and from
the Master. There is an attitude and
aptitude of mind and heart which is
prayer in spirit, like, electricity in
storage-only waiting for the occa-
sion to become prayer in action. Any
employment or enjoyment which
would be unfayorable to the prayer
spirit is, therefore, ineXpedient, if not
positively sinful.
Pray without ceasing." Does any
one say this is hard to do? Impossi-
BILE and impracticable? Hear the tes-
timony of that brave, soldier, Stone
wall Jackson.

THE GRAIL LEGEND IN MODERN
LITERATURE.

The Grail, or "Graal'-the latter is
undoubtedly the more correct orthog-
raphy-is the vessel into which our
Lords Precious Blood was gathered
and according to some accounts had
been used by Him at the Last Sup
per. And so around this central le-
gend grew up for the pious Catholic
a whole swarm of lesser traditions,
varying in their less important ele-
ments. but all alike in this-that they
were saturated, through and through,
with the intense belief Of their nara
tors in the doctrine of the Real
Presence.
That the sight OF the Grail there
fore, should impart an insight into
spiritual things; that it's touch should
convey healing; that it's mere pres
ence, even, when yelled and hidden
from the eyes of men, should be
hailed as one of the greatest of earth
ly blessings; all this, to the Catholic
is Of course perfectly Ineligible; but
to the Protestant critic, to whom the
doctrine underlying it is baseless
superstition, it naturally remains void
Of meaning. 1t is thus impossible to
avoid the conclusion that TennysOns
failure, in dealing with the Grail
quest, to rise to the height Of his SUBJ
ject was due, not to any lack Of moral
insight on the part of the poet but to
his rejection Of that Catholic doe
trine from which the most poetic of
medieval myths derived it's beauty
and it's force.
1t is curious to note that the one
English writer, besides Tennyson,
who has made the Grail legend the
subject Of a poem-HaWker of Nor
wenstow was received into the
Church on his deathbed. Had he
lived to complete his Quest of the
Cangraal, it is possible that we might
have gained a work which, however
inferior in literary power to that of
his great contemporary, would, by its
grasp OF the central element of the
tradition, have attained to a higher
spiritual plane.
For the very root and core of the
legend of the quest Of the Grail is
the doctrine Of our Lords Presence in
the Holy Eucharist

Righteousness exalteth a nation and

penance that she won a glorious vic

Finally, let us strengthen the ties
of friendship and mutual respect upon
which we must assist to build the new
structure of peace and good will
among the nations Instead of class
hatred and economic warfare let
there be recognition of our common
brotherhood, national and internal
tional arbitration of all great disputes
and a spirit of reasonableness and
fair-play. Secret diplomacy and
secret treaties, which heretofore have
caused so many misunderstanding
so much bitterness and so much in
justice, should be pilloried by interna-
tional law. Let there be league Of
nations dealing out justice to all peo-
pies, great and small alike, and COM
polling judicial settlement of inter
national differences. -.

Star SpangIed Banner.

In America where all the nations
of the world meet and enjoy the
blessings of equal liberty and oppor
tunity there is no room for racial
antipathies. &c pluribus unum' is
our motto, and never were our unity
and homogeneity more pronounced
than during the great war. The hy-
phen has disappeared in the melting
pot, and the national unity we demand
for all those living under the protec.
ton of our flag, we have won for all
the nations of the world. The red
flag of anarchy and l. w. W-ism is
out of place here now more than ever.
America will tolerate but one flag
and that is the Star Spangled Ban
ner Its stripes of red tell of the
blood our brave boys shed for the
liberty of America and of the world,
and which we and our descendants
will be willing to shed whenever that
liberty is attacked. It's stripes of
white proclaim the pure, unselfish mo-
tiyes for which we entered the war
and the spotlessness which should
ever characterize private and public
life in America. It's starry field of
blue reminds us of our home beyond
the stars and furnishes the strongest
motives for loyalty to our country.

THE THREE CROSSES.

Do you know the difference be-
tween the Latin, Greek and st. An
drews crosses? Many grown people
do not, and it is reasonable to as
sumo that the younger readers may
need the information. The Latin
cross is the one with which we are
all familiar. The lower limb is good
deal longer than the other three
limbs. The Greek cross, on the con-
trary, has all three limbs of equal
length-two pieces crossed in the
middle at right angles. st. Andrews
cross is in the form Of the letter Y.
The Greek cross is sometimes called
the Cross of St. George, and is
blended with that of St Andrew to
form the flag called the Union Jack.

Home is the result of learning how

Home is the best school for making

Home is Gods blessing to mankind,

Home is an inn where love is land

Home is corporation whose pre-

ize it against the forces of tyranny.
To make democracy safe for the
world we must make the people
strong enough to rule themselves.
For this they need both intelligence
and virtue, and they need them in a
higher degree than under any other
form Of government. Virtue without
intelligence would make the people
easy victims of tyranny and injustice,
and intelligence without virtue would
enable them more successfully to de-
feat the ends of liberty and justice.
The rule Of wise and benevolent
despot may do much to compensate
for the lack of intelligence or virtue
among the people, but in a democ-
racy a low degree Of intelligence or
virtue would inevitably wreck the
ship of state, rendering it unable to
weather the storms of license and
anarchy, or heading it for the rocks
of despotism and tyranny. A glance
at Russia's past history and her pres
ent condition will convince US of the
truth of this statement. s''.>

Objection: If Christianity were of
