THE HOLY EUCHARIST.

In the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass
the miracle performed at the Last
Supper is renewed. At the words of
Conservation, Our Lord comes down
on the altar under the appearance of
Bread and Wine. For proof of this
we have only TO read the words of
the four great narratOrs of the Gospel.
They relate the words of the Institu-
ton. And while there might be
change of word here and there, the
meaning conveyed by all is without
doubt exactly the same, that Our
Lord Jesus Christ, true God and true
Man, is really and substantially con-
tanned under the species of Bread and
Wine
All the Sacramento, it is true, con-
fer grace and therefore charity. The
Blessed Eucharist has the power of
increasing and Strengthening our
friendship with God. 1t brings one
nearer to God, which is shown by a
certain fervor in His affairs. 1t in
creases sanctifying grace, which
means that our affections may be
more strongly and constantly con-
formed to those of Our Divine Lord.
1t dispels certain disgust for prayer,
for prayer, like work, is a penance,
and instills a lively desire to seek
graces through the medium of this
devout exercise. Our inclination
towards evil is weakened, and our
temptations become less violent. We
feel. more fervent and are infamed
with the love of God and zeal for our
own salvation The soul that is nour-
ished with this heavenly food cannot
be separated from God by the most
violent passions. 1t was this which
gave strength and courage to the mar
tyrs, who in many different ways Of
fered their lives for Gods sake. The
life of self or qualification of self,
which is not passing temptations, but
a natural instinct, is great hindrance
to our union with God, but it's con-
stantly occurring impulses of nature
are also allayed by the healing power
of the Holy Eucharist. 1t begets hui
mility; humility, obedience; and obedi-
ence, charity. What more noble sight
than the soul imbued with and forti-
fed by all these virtues?

ever the worst. When persecution
comes, or even the possibility of dis
favor, they sell Christ for their pro-
lection. The cry of patriotism" or
civic righteousness" is on their lips,
as their justification, but they are
towards to the last fiber of their
craven hearts, and are no more loyal
to their country than they are to
their God. They will follow Christ
into the city, when all are Christ's
friends, but they want no fellowship
with Christ Who has no place to lay
His weary head, Christ Who is sur
rounded by the poor and the ignorant,
a Christ Who must be scourged, and
crucified with thieves. They will
never be found on Calvary, except in
company with the Scribes and Phari-
sees, or trying to steal His one poor
garment, as the soldiers, more honest
than they, cast lots to see whose it
shall be.
God is patient. Until He separates
the wheat from the cookie, Catholics
who are trying to serve Him in pow
erty and suffering must likewise be
patient. These false brethren who
sell Christ for social or financial adj
vantages make a mockery of the
Faith, yet by the disposition of God,
drawing good out of evil, testify to
the Divine origin of the Church. No
purely human organization could have
survived after centuries of their weak
ening influence. Christ is in the
Church: her life is as His life. The
great tragedy that began when Judas
went out into the darkness, and
seemed contaminated when they laid
the Lord of all in the tomb, ended in
His complete triumph over the pow
ers of death and hell.

HONOR THE CRUCIFlx.

The cross is the sign of our re-
salute it, and whilst generating it we
adore our Blessed Lord who died on
it for our salvation. The cross tops
our steeples, surmounts our affairs,
adorns the Christian royal diadem.
The Bishop wears it as a breastplate;
it is the insignia of his dignity and
power, and of the obligations to his
flock. All good Catholics wear it,
priests, nuns, and lay people, and
many for no other, reason than to
atone for the insults SO frequently
offered to the crucitix. We should
honor it highly, show our esteem for
it; we should form the habit of wear
ing it, either as a small cross inside
or ostensibly as watch guard, or
suspended about the neck, a lady's
most suitable ornament.
The crucifix has the place of honor
in our churches, and how beautiful it
looks when given the prominent place
in the Christian home. But, too often
we miss the cross from where it has
right to be; it's place, alas! is given
to a portrait, and profane paintings
or engravings are substituted for re-
ligious pictures.
To bless oneself with the sign of
the cross is profession of faith in
Jesus Crucified. The demons tremble
at it's very name or sign. Our Lord
~ fIn lyo1 of
all; if we but use it according to it's
meaning, reverence and venerate it's
rights, it will open for us the celes-
tial portals.
Holy Church has set aside special
feastS in honor of the cross of Christ
She prays to God that her children
may conquer and carry off place of
triumph in our heavenly home by the
virtue of the beautiful sign of the
| cross thus protesting and teaching
us that our salvation is wrought by
the holy cross. In baptism salvation
comes to the child by this holy sign:
Il baptiZe thee in the name of the
Father and of the Son and of the
Holy Ghost" again in confirmation
when the Bishop confirms him in
these words: Il mark thee with the
sign of the cross" and the one con-
firmed promises allegiance and fealty
to his God even at the price of his
life. And what is it that consoles the
dying Christian but the last blessing
of the priest, the last glimpse of the
cross, the last kiss of his crueifix
After death the cross seals his coffin
and marks his resting place in con-
secrated grounds. And on the last
day, the cross of Christ shall be the
flaming sign of salvation when it shall
appear in the heavens, luminous, com.
forting indeed for the elect, but ter
rifying for the damned. On that great
day the cross will be the rallying sign
for those who shall have stood, fought
and conquered by it. They will then
be blessed by this wonderful sign, and
their hearts will be filled with JOY.

HAVE YOU A VOCATION2

We are now enjoying the beautiful
month CT May, consecrated to the
honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary. 1t
is during this month that many a
young boy is studying harder than
ever preparing for his final eXamina-
lions either in grammar school or in
high school. No doubt, boys, you are
all very anxious to succeed in those
exams, and am sure that you do not
forget to place them under the protec-
ton of your heavenly Mother, being
convinced that if Mary be with you,
nothing will prevent you from sue
ceeding. Then will come the long
looked-for vacation, during which you
will rest from your long studies and
amuse yourselves to your hearts con-
tent but, like all good things, vacation
will have an end, and then what will
you do? Have you thought of it yet?
You must now decide what part you
are going to play in the great drama
of life, and as it is choice upon
which your whole future depends, do
not think that it is too soon to start
right now and consider it we'll. Tell
me, did you never feel the desire of
being a priest? When you assist at
Mass, are you never inclined to say:
How l would like to be like the priest
at the altar" Consider what it is to
be priest; what powers priest has.
He is far nobler and more powerful
than tho anoplS Themselves for no an
gel can command God and be obeyed.
But 10, every time you assist at Mass
you witness a great miracle-the
priest commands God to come down
upon the altar, and instantly God is
there, really present under the spe-
cies of bread and wine. Can you
doubt at this sight, what holy, noble
character the priesthood confers upon
a man?

CATHOLICS FOR REVENUE ONLY.

You know them, lineal descendants
of Judas. Every city has them, but
some cities are more afflicted than
others. They hover over carrion, and
in large cities there is much to their
taste. 1t must needs be that scan
dals come; the words of Our Blessed
Lord have known fulfillment in every
Church. Nero did not weaken
Christ's Mystical Body, nor did Henry
VIII; nor does Viviani, nor any puny
blasphemer who raises his hand
against God and His Amounted. The
most dangerous foes of the Church
and women who pose as Catholics,
when the pose is profitable, and sell
Christ when the chink of silver falls
pleasantly on their ears. They are
not true Catholics; but Catholics for
revenue only, says America.
Sometimes they huckster Him for
less than thirty pieces of silver. They
sell Him when they send their neg
lected children to non-Catholic
schools, hoping that daily actual con-
tact with heresy, and exposure to the
immortality that fiourishes in the rank
soil of indifferentism, will buy them a
place among gilded FOOLS Often they
drive poor bargain, and, like Judas,
the end is suicide. They have bar
tered the Christ in the heart of the
child. and have gained nothing but a
son or daughter at whom even a
sophisticated world looks with aver
sion. The corruption of the best is

non-handling, for it has often been ex-
amined and has even made Journeys
as far as California and into the noun
tains in suitcase. AS everybody
knows, a suitcase was certainly well
equipped to put the stick-together
qualities of the flower to a supreme
test. The rose, while dried, has not
lost any of its original shapeliness.
Mrs. Weckbaugh to determine what
caused the flower to remain together,
has frequently tried to preserve other
roses in the same way, but without
success. Her experience with the
flower has made her prize it as highly
as one would the relic of canonized
saint.
By using the flower, and praying to
Father Leo, cures, she said, have been
brought about in several instances in
the family. Her young son, Hartford,
after having been given up as hope
lessly ill by several doctors, is now
recovering to such an extent that he
is able to play like other boys and
seems on the road to perfect health
This is only one case that can be
cited, however. These facts have not
been officially investigated, but they
are worthy of remembering, for we
all hope to see the movement set we'll
under way to gain for Father Leo the
highest honors that can be accorded
him by the Church. To have prayers

I'm just as scared as | can be.

For folks, he says, that stay out late,
When l pass by, he gives a roar
And drags me in behind the door
And, oh, we make such noises when

And then the big bear laughs and then
He's just my own papa again!

ROSE FROM CASkET OF DENVER
MARTYR REMAINS TOGETHER
FOR II YEARS.

The article we had recently about
the strange preservation of a rose
that was placed in front of pic
ture of the Little Flower of Jesus
at the home of Miss Alice Quinn,
in Denver, has brought out an
other peculiar and similar instance,
more wonderful than even the flower
described, for this other rose is now
over eleven years old. 1t was taken
from the casket of Father Leo Helm
richs, who was shot and killed while
giving out Communion at ST. Eliza
beths Church, Denver, in February,
1908. The flower, a well-developed
bud, is owned by Mrs. Ed. Week
baugh, 63S Corona street, that city.
While dried, it has retained its per-
feet shape and still has delightful
odor. For six months after it was
taken from the martyrs casket, it was
kept in vase at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Weckbaugh and, despite the dry
climate of Colorado, where moisture
evaporates far quicker than in East
ern climates, none of the water eyap.
GRATED. This fact and the fact that
the rose remained together, retaining
its original softness, made the family
marvel, and the rose has been care
fully treasured. The writer pre-
sents these facts, not with the claim
that supernatural powers have been
at work, for the rose has not been Off
cially investigated by the Church au-
thorities or by scientists. But some
occurrences in connection with the
rose are certainly worthy of investi
cation if steps are ever taken by the
Order of Friars Minor for the canoni-
cation of Father Leo. Some prelimi-
nary steps have been taken in this
case, but it is not known yet whether
the cause will be pushed. NJ

BLESSING THE FIELDS.

A beautiful custom, of ancient
origin, called the blessing of Fields"
is practiced in Brittany. On the first
pleasant day after Easter, the village
priests and their parishioners march
in procession through the wide
stretch of arabic land, reciting pray
ers and singing hymns. An uplifted
cross borne by some tall boy, accom-
panied by. thurifers, who keep little
clouds of incense floating in the air,
leads the procession, the object of
which is to invoke the blessing of
Almighty God on the fields and crops.

In installing General Pershing's war
map In the old National Museum build
ing in Washington, the commanders
room at the front just as it looked
when the map was in actual use, is
being reproduced as setting. Here
will be the chairs used by the general
and his aids while they studied the
map, which changed hourly, night and
day, as reports came in and were re-
corded. The table ut which the officers
looked over documents will stand as 1t
used to at one side, and the walls Will
be covered with the identical lineoleum
that was a background for the map.
The map was brought over in pieces
now Joined together, and the conven-
tional design OF the lineoleum is said
to give an odd kitchenlike domesticlty
to the room in which General Pershing
watched history writing itself in a
very literal sense on the wall.
