THE ORIGIN OF THE FORTY
HOURS DEVOTION.

The Alteration of Quarantore, or
Forty Hours Exposition of the
Blessed Sacrament, in cOmmemora-
ton of the forty hours during which
our Lords body lay in the tomb, was
first instituted in Milan about the
year 1884.
Somewhat later, it happened that a
troupe of actors came to Loretto at
the carnival time, with the purpose
of performing highly Objectionable
play. A pious Jesuit Father who was
there did his utmost to prevent the
acting of this play, but he failed in
his object. He then determined to
pie, to present them with spectacle
of very fine character, one calcu-
lated to raise the heart and soul to
God. Having obtained permission
from the Bishop, he caused the church
of his college to be most beautifully
with countless tapers, and the Blessed
Sacrament exposed during forty
hours. Meanwhile at intervals, hymns
and anthems were sung; there were
spiritual readings and two or three
short sermons each day. The people
were moreover eXhorted to approach
the Sacraments.'
This plan proved most successful;
the sacred entertainment, if it may
be so called, found more favor with
the inha bitantS of I,OrettO than the
performance of the comedians. AL.
most the whole population repaired
to the church, and the gain to souls
was immense. From Loretto this de-
votion spread to the whole Church; il
was approved by the Holy See, and
enriched with indulgences by several
Popes, pre-eminently by Paul V.

all sane people to shun Spiritism was
that it might drive them insane. He
himself had had most unfortunate ex-
periences of people of both sexes who
had been driven silly or mad by the
Vaccinations of the very spirits who
had first Of all posed as friends OF
comfort, but finally revealed them
selves to be friends of destruction.
Could there be anything more fool
ish than to hand ones will power over
to forces about which one had no
knowledge, and over which one had no
control? To put your head into a
moose and then to hand over the end
of the rope to some unfamiliar freak
or force was to invite that force to
late you discovered yourself to be
even a bigger fool than you thought.
No doubt it was contended by dab
blers in SSpiritisfn that, like motor
driving or aeroplane-fying, spirit in
terviewing was not without some
risks. Yes. But Spiritism was on
quite another plane. There the risks
were not so much physical as moral.
Necromancy, like cocaine, gripped
and crushed out your life. Quite
lately he had read that Spiritism was
as quick a way to the lunatic asylum
as drugs or drink. He thought there
were quite a few whose arrival was
overdue. Perhaps it was not gener'
ally known that throughout the Cath
olic world every priest at the end OF
his daily Mass PRAYED to St Michael
the Archangel to safeguard mankind
against the wickedness and snares of
the devil, and to thrust down to hell
Satan and all wicked spirits who wan
dered through the world for the ruin
of souls. The Catholic Church, con
demned Spiritism not because it was
| a new revelation for the help OF
| souls, but because it was a satanic
| device for their ruin.

WOMANHOOp'S BEAUTIFUL
.t MODEL.

She wrote no books; she painted
10 pictures; she thrilled no audiences
with her eloquence; she inaugurated
no great reform. She spent her life
N none of the brilliant spheres for
" hich many of our girls sigh today.
She simply lulled little babe ON her
breast; she pressed its face close TO
her mother-heart; she went about her
nuties: she filled her water pitcher at
he well, lighted her fires, ana pre-
pared her frugal meals, unwaited up
on, unattended by any, save the an
gels that lowered unseen. Yet
through all ages rast, and throughout
all ages to come, her name Is ana
ever will remain the most blessed
among women.
Artists may paint, writer's may
write. singers may sing right to the
end of time, but none can ever nope
to rival in amending love and rever'
cnce the wife of an humble carpenter
of Galilee. They are all but as earths
tiniest candle to heavens brightest
star. Earth's greatest woman was
great by virtue of her motherhood.
4 maiden of Judea went up 50 close
10 the throne of God; she kept the
chamber of her heart so pure that the
Lord of Hosts entered in and laid up
on her breast the Saviour OF men
Earth has nothing greater than the
loving devotion of woman who Is
pure in heart. We need Marys from
Nazareth yet. Let our girls aspire
by all means. Let them be ambitious
but let them not forget amid life's
feverish rush to sit often at the fee
of the Master. to learn His touch
to get the Madonnas secret.

Why Bar Supervisors?

DEGARDLESS of the character of the Judges and clerks
N named for the Democratic primary this county next
Saturday. the petition Of the independent candidates for
supervisors of their selection cannot justly be denied
by the county executive committee
The judges and clerks carry the election The super
visors do than look on and protest If they
have To deprive the independent candidates Of
representation at the polls would be exhibition Of
faconalsm and rng tactics that would be resented
by good many Democrats who have no special interest in
the candidates presenting the petition.
Such policy Of exclusion would be positive evidence
that the organization dominant in the party fears for its
political life It would be confession Of weakness and
would be so regarded by all.
If the election to be conducted fairly organization
can have no valid objection to permitting independent
supervisors to look If the election to be conducted
unaybut Of the organization would not stoop
to that.
The sheriff would not sign the petition because he said
he did not want to reflect the executive committee
It seems as If the merest suspicion of unfairness IA
reflection than would be the signing petition to
give the Independent candidates chance watch the
balloting, through supervisors.
It is matter Of discretion with the committee PEI
haps but the common rules Of fair play would to
outweigh every other consideration matter so vital to
the safeguarding Of popular faith in the validity of cleo
tons.
If all independent candidates are to be barred from
representation at the polls it looks as If such scheme
devised to perpetuate faction in power regardless
Of the right and wrong Of the issue That sort Of thing
is rather out Of keeping with the traditional Democratic
protests Of square deal and free choice.
If the organization is OF winning clean victory
BY fair vote and honest count, wouldn't it greatly
strengthen its subsequent position before the people If it
could be shown that the opposition had supervisors present
at the polls?
far no reason has been given why the independent
candidates should not have their supervisors The pre-
sumption is all in their favor until eogent argument
