AN ITALIAN PRIESTS HERoIsM.

death a priest bravely met while
Padua was being bombarded from the
sky:
Il moved on to where building
just opposite the church had been hit
so that the back had crumbled in COM
pletely, while the front seemed ready
to fall if good-sized splinter were
pulled out from one of the prop beams.
Beneath the wreckage man was
pinned, face downward, the weight on
his legs and spine The agony which
he suffered almost drove him mad and
his shrieks cut me like saws and
knives. A fireman was about to at
tempt to crawl through to him with
a glass of water, when a priest came
across from the church, took the glass
of water. explained that he was going
to crawl through to give the last rites
to the doomed man, and turned

HOLY COMMUNION.

While at the sanctuary rail, hold
still during the moment the priest ex-
tends the Blessed Sacrament toward
you. Do not move the face an inch
forward to- meet the priests hand
half way, as too many do, A showing
face worries the priest terribly, lest
he may drop the Host. The more
You keep, your head as still as a statue
the more respectfully you receive.
Open the mouth moderately. Extend
the tongue so as to cover the lower
lip completely. The priest does not
wish to push the Sacred Host into the
open mouth. He wishes to lay it fat
on the tongue, and press it down
gently with his thumb, lest it may fall
off when you draw it in.
After he has placed the Host on the
tongue do not instantly bow the head
and hit his hand with your hat. as
many girls and women do. Give him
time to pass to the next communi-
cant before you do any bowling. AS
bad as moving faces are, hats with
big brims or feathers are worse.
Remember the priest stands high
above your head. In his position
wide-brimmed hat completely hides
your face. Wear narrow hat, or
tilt it back while at the rail. After
receiving, draw the tongue in slowly,
allow the Host to moisten, and swal-
low it devoutly. If you have received
two or more particles, it makes no
difference. DO not stay at the altar
rail too long If others are waiting
for the place you occupy retire with
eyes cast down modestly and freely, or
at least not swinging awkWardly.
Our Lord may not care how the
hands are if the heart is all right. He
may not care if the clothes are soiled,
once the soul is clean. And yet we
owe Him all possible respect in neat
ness of soul, neatness OF body and
neatness of attire. In this regard.

TRUE COURTESY.


do not say that you did not think
If you forget, it is because you do not
care. If people care, they will re-
member" So spoke mother long
ago to thoughtless child, who plead
ed, as an excuse for a rude act that
she had forgotten. The keynote of
life was touched by. the answering adj
monishing voice. Forgetfulness is sell
fishness, and lis, shown nowhere more
plainly than in the trifing, hourly
happenings which cause gladness or
pain. ~.r ~
Courtesy, real courtesy, is so holy
an attribute that one wonders why
all true Christians are not polite.
When we picture the tender gentle
ness with which our fancy always in
vests our Blessed Lord, how can we
go about causing Inconvenience by
the breaking of an engagement, fail
ing to withhold the word that will
give comfort: neglecting with care
less disdain the promised visit which
would have carried sunshine into a
darkened life; trampling upon peo-
pies most sacred feelings, like ele-
plants upon harp forgetting, for
getting, forgetting! Our Lord did not
forget He cared SO much that He
could not forget, and if He cared
ever so little, we, too, would perforce
remember.
The courteous deeds which live in

day, have been performed because self
was forgotten. Sir Philip Sidney
cared, and so remembered, when he
gave the cup of water to the soldier
whose necessity was greater than his
own. And our own General Washing
ton lifted his hat to a poor negro
through simple kindness of heart.
1t is painful to see how many would
be gentle folk go to work the most
clumsy way; adorning the outward
man with expensive trappings, culti-
waiting the prevailing gait, consulting
the latest manuals of etiquette, and
ending in complete and surprised dis
comfiture through self-lOve and self
consciousness. No one is so poor that
he cannot be gentle and polite; for
| courtesy is but another name for love-
Love is gentleness writ" large

may, through stress of circumstances,

great part with many parents, who,
instead Of fostering the desire, so nat
,ural to the youthful heart, of dedi-
eating itself to the service of Gods
sanctuary, but too Often impart to
their children their own worldly
mindedness, and seek TO influence
their choice of state OF life by un-
duly exaggerating the difficulties and
dangers of the priestly calling, and
painting in too glowing colors the adj
vantages of a secular life. To such
parents we would most earnestly ap-
peal, imploring them not to interfere
with the designs Of God on their chill
dren, when they perceiv a in them a
growing disposition to attach them
selves to the service of the altar.
"If God rewards the youthful piety
of your sons by calling them to minis
ter in His sanctuary, the highest PRIV
ilege He confers on man, do not en-
deavor to give their thoughts another
direction. Do not present to your
children the priesthood in any other
light than as a sublime and holy state,
having, indeed, most SACRED duties and
most serious obligations but having
also the promise of Gods grace to
strengthen and sustain human weak
ness in their fulfillment and the di-
vine blessing, here and hereafter, as
their reward. To those whom God in

THE LAiTYs COOPERATION.

For whatever reason millions of
Catholics lost the faith during the
great religious upheaval of the six
teenth century, says the Pittsburgh
Catholic. Millions Of their descend
ants are today tired and wearied of
the caricature Of true religion, that
has been their heritage. Mere mega
ton cannot satisfy the cravings of the
human soul They clamor for some
thing pulsing and living. Catholicity
alone stands between them and athe-
ism. But Catholicity is a sealed book
to all except a favored few. With our
own eyes we see them daily drifting
farther and farther from all belief.
Shipwrecked in the great ocean of in
differentism, shall we make no effort
to bring them into the harbor of the
City of Peace? The blight of today
is not Professionalism, but Indifferent
ism. Men have lost faith in the
Church, because the Church could not
deliver the goods We who do
business at the old stand have the
goods. The question is how best to
advertise our wares. There is the
apostleship of the press, but nom
Catholics will not read a Catholic
paper.
There is the non Catholic mission,
but how few of the mighty multitude
will attend such a mission in a Cath
Ole, church. There is the Catholic
Truth Society, but it is handicapped
for want of resources. 1t needs an
army of willing helpers. There is
the Catholic laity, to our mind, the
most important avenue of approach
that will bear fruit when all else fails.
Let us name the Holy Name Society,
the Catholic Total Abstinence Union,
and we need not go much further.
Who can estimate the amount of
good that can be done by the educated
lay Catholic? Living side by side
with his non-Catholic neighbor, he
can exercise an influence potent for
good BY his truly Catholic life he
| illustrates the excellence of his faith.
He will find many opportunities Of en-
Tightening the inquiring mind. Many
a man who will not sit at the feet
of an accredited teacher will be glad
to learn from the lips Of layman.
The problem of the day is how to
reach the non-Catholic masses. In the
solution of the problem is the jealous
cooperation of the laity.

THE STORY OF LITTLE MARY.

It's scarcely eight years since a

in Lourdes. Many doctors had been
tried and much money spent, but the

and accordingly she also now was to
have her trial. A helpless little Grip
pie, little Mary lay in her cot at Lour-

carried to the sacred well and to her

the day was spent in prayer and pa

DEMOCRACY IN CHURCH.

the late Wendell Phillips entered st.
Peters. In the vast church a surprise
awaited him, which is thus related by
himself: Il listened to the music
and as it died away, standing as l
was, behind a massive pillar, which
obscured by view, l caught the words
of a sermon, pronounced in faultless
English, and moving forward, to catch
a view Of the speaker, to my astonish-
ment, | beheld there in the pulpit of
st. Peters a full-blooded Negro,
preaching the Gospel Of Christ; and

In exchange she gave a gold piece
of twenty francs. The happy nurse
bought the candle. 1t cost her five
francs. She brought it to the little
sufferer and at the same time brought
her the change. The very sight of it
brought tears of Joy to the eyes of lit

little Mary placed@it on the altar, but
before leaving she dropped the re-

ton box When the little patient was
once more in her bed the nurse could
not suppress her curiosity any longer.
She was determined to find out the
nature Of the favor that made the lit
tie one so generous. Now, Mary, |

prayer Of yours the good Mary has
answered. We'll, you see few days

her in bed near my own. She was
SO poor and suffered SO much that

a big candle for her altar. My prayer

Little Mary remained a cripple. A
few weeks after she returned. to her
home, and there after two more
months of patient suffering the good
God at last called her to her reward.
This is a true story of little French

could be no brighter example of unset
fish generosity. The heart of the Good
Lady of Lourdes could not but be
moved by such gratitude and devotion.
