MARY, THE MOTHER OF CHRIST.
Irish Catholic.

What grace can accomplish in His
creatures, God has shown in the per-
son of her whom He chose to be His
mother, preserving her from all stain
and endowing her with such pureness
of heart that she is truly full of
grace" and blessed among women"
The unique privilege of Mary as CO.
operating in the Incarnation, entities
her to reverence and honor; but in
the Catholic mind it is love- that
prompts generation for the Mother of
Christ. 1t is, indeed, beyond compre-
hensiOn that any who sincerely love
Jesus should be cold or Indifferent in
regard to His mother. No honor that
we may pay her can ever equal that
which God himself has conferred, and
much less can it detract from the
honor that is due to Him, says the
Bishops Pastoral.
In keeping with her singular dignity
is the power of Mary's intercession
If the prayers of holy men avail to
obtain the divine assistance, the petit
tons of Mary in our behalf must be
far more efficacious. With good rea-
son, then, does the Church encourage
the faithful to cultivate a tender de-
votion for the Blessed Virgin. But if
all generations should call her blessed,
and if the peoples of earth should
glory in her protection, We in the
United States have a particular duty
to honor Mary Immaculate as the
heavenly Patroness of our country
Let her blessed influence preserve our
Catholic homes from all contagion Of
evil, and keep our children in pure
ness Of heart. Let us pay her the
tribute of public honor in a way that
will lead all people to a fuller appre-
citation Of Mary, the perfect woman
and the surprising model Of mother
hood. AS Pope Benedict has declared,
it is eminently fitting that the devo-
ton of American Catholics to the
Mother of God should find expression
in a temple worthy Of our Celestial
Patroness. May the day soon dawn
when we shall rejoice at the compile
ton of so grand an undertaking.; for,
as the Holy Father says in commend
ing the project of the National Shrine
of the Immaculate Conception, Our
human society has reached that stage
in which it stands in most urgent
need Of the aid Of Mary Immaculate,
no less than of the joint endeavOrs Of
all mankind.'

INDEPENDENT WOMANHOOD.

We see on every hand, now that we
are passing through the period Of re-
construction, numerous and varied ac-
tiVitieS, entered into for the moral
and temporal uplift of the people. But
are we going to disregard one subject,
generally conceded to be a menace to
public morals? The present Cay styles
Of WOmen's dress are indecent and dar-
jngly SO, notes the Catholic Tribune
That they have been tolerated as long
IS they have, is largely due to our
apathy and Indifference, or the lack
Of a full realization of their detri-
mental effect on the morals of society
In the drawing room, at the ban
luet, at the dance, where select peo-
pie gather, who is the most sought
after, the most popular? Is it the
Young lady Of quiet dress, careful of
speech and manner? Or is it the young
lady who boldly fiaunts her physical
sorm in sOciety's formal dress Cor the
lack Of it,, perhaps free of speech and
manner? Generally speaking, expert
enCe shows that it is the latter.
The gentle sex, Interpreting such
preference in their own individual
way, thoughtlessly adopt these man
neriSms Of dress and just as thought
lessly become the cause o. emotions
in others, whose far-reaching and sin
lister effects they may never know
say thoughtlessly, for it is incon-
ceivable that good women would de.
Iiberately cater to the prevailing
fashions, or permit their daughters
to do so, fully realizing the grave re-
7ponsibility they incur. 1t would be
unnatural. The motive of most
| women, in affecting certain styles OF
dress, differ very little, if a all, from
the motive which impelled our fore
| fathers to don gray wigs-custom
However, custom does not make q
thing right which is inherently drong

well. Thy enemies that are in thy
bosom shall be scattered and humil-
lated and rejected. AS low as thou
hast been crushed, thus high shall
thou be exalted. Thou shalt be re-
splendent as the sun, and thy glory
shall not pass. There will be peace
and abundance in thy confines, beauty
and strength in thy citadels."
Malachy paused for some time, then
cried out with a strong and glad
voice: Now dismiss thy servant,
Lord, in peace; it is enough! The
Church Of God in Ireland will not
fall. And, although it will be only
after a long delay, my land will have
its day of power and will be as fresh
in its beauty as the rose
Next day the two disciples of st.
Bernard conducted st. Malachy, with
his deacon, Virgilius, to the monas-
terry at ClairvauX, where he died in
the arms of st. Bernard, in the year
1143.

general sense was, what can moth.
ers be thinking of when they send
their girls to college which requires
a first-hand acquaintance with vice."
1t is highly probable that some of
these girls were the children of Cath
Ollie mothers, for this college, which
has q reputation for fashion" al
tracted the attention of many ''climb-
ing" Catholic. But what can any
mother "be thinking Of when she
sends her daughter to any non-Cath-
Ollie college?
Perhaps it is easier to answer what
she is not thinking of. She is. not
thinking of the fact that at the best
of non-Catholic colleges her daughter
is subjected to subtle and appealing
non-Catholic and anti-Catholic int1u-
ences, tending to weaken faith and
morality; or that in the ordinary
course: Of study. her daughter will be
obliged to read books condemned by
the Church, or banned by the natural
law, as contrary to faith and morals;
or that frequently she will listen to
teachers to whom supernatural re-
ligion is at best but harmless senti-
ment, and to whom morality is a mat
ter of doing what most appeals, pro-
vided you can escape the censura of
law or convention. Last of all, she
is not thinking Of the indubitable truth
that at the great day of judgment, GOD
will require at her hands the soul of
this child.
ut must needs be that scandals
come, but woe to that man by whom
scandal cometh,' and a double pOr
ton of woe to the mother who thus
exposes her daughter. That trans
gression is not only scandal. 1t is
unnatural sin, for by the very law of
nature, mother is strictly bound to
protect her child. What, then, can
the mother allege in excuse, who has
actually exposed her daughter to loss
of faith and morality? Fashion? The
custom? Her social station? Better
for her that she had never been born.

AN EASTERN LEGEND

There's a tender Eastern legend
In a volume old and rare,
Of the Christ-Child in His garden
Walking with the children there
And it tells this strange, sweet story
(True or false. ali, who shall say?)
How a bird with broken pinion
Dying, in the garden lay.
And the children, cruel children,
Lifted it by shattered wing,
Shouting, Make us merry music,
Sing, YOU lazy fellow, sing"
But the Christ-Chi!d bent above it,
Took it in His gentle hand,
Full Of pity for the suffering,
He alone could understand.
Whispered to it-oh, so softly!
Laid His lips upon its throat,
And the sOng-life swift returning,
Sounded out in one glad note
Then away, on wing unWearied,
Joyously it sang and scared,
And the little children kneeiing,
Called the Christ-Child Master.

ST. MALACHYS PROPHECY.

Two of our monks, Theodore and Reg

CATHOLIC GIRLS IN NON-CATH-
OLIC SCHOOLS.

The district attorney in New York
recently announced that in order to
know that dirt existed, it was not nee
essary to explore the city sewers.
Rather obvious was the remark, but
it was needed, for it was addressed to
the professor of sociology in a college
for young women. This pundit had
decided that complete course in
social science required the presence
of these young girls in a court room,
during the examination of criminals
of particularly low and revolving
kind. The district attorney did not
concur in this decision. He could not
prevent their presence, since, as yet,
there are no Star Chamber trials in
this country. But he would do moth
ing to encourage them, and if he had
any special facilities for the study
of crime, he intended to reserve them
for students of maturer mind and
training.
This action aroused the hostility
not only of the professor, but of the
sensational press. That, however,
was to be expected, but somewhat
unexpected was the comment of a
New York policeman 1t cannot be
literally transcribed, for it was de-
Hvered in kind of dialect, but its

THUNDERSTORM CHRISTIANS.

Catholics whose faith and piety are
in evidence only at moments of great
peril, whether real OF fancied, may
be aptly termed Thunderstorm
Christians" AS long as no danger
threatens, they are careless Catho-
lies, who are not afraid to live in
mortal sin, or perhaps scarcely prac-
tice their religion at all. They refuse
or begrudge their Creator and Lord
the short half hour or SO Of worship
He requires of them each week. The
Fridays abstinence they find an in
supportable burden; all church dues
they consider an imposition; prayer
they regard as wasted time; Confess
sion a nuisance to be deferred as long
as possible, and Communion a luxury
they can we'll forego. Life, they say,
would be quite enjoyable if it were
not for the demands their religion
makes on them, says America.

BEAUTY OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN,

Nature would seem to have on her
conferr'd
Her choicest gifts. She must be
far more fair
Than Esther, Judith, or Rebecca was,
And yet her beauty, if we have not
err'd,
One could not with propriety COM
pare
With any type of beauty, that one
knows
Her face and form reflect the eter-
nal;
She's not like the sun, or what men
call beauty,
So proud and dangerous to look upon:
But like the morning star, so musi-
cal,
So soft and bright, inspiring purity,
With thoughts of heaven that now
/, the night is gone
The harbinger of day-that day may
Which prophets longed to see, and did
not see.
We might, indeed, describe her gentle
bearing,
Or the queenlike dignity, wherewith
she walks;
Or how her glance sustains the soul
despairing,
Or the gracious, unctuous way in
which she talks;s
But there is one thing which doth
words elude,
Which doth defy all arts of human
style
Which is with love fraught, and beati-
tude- u.
And that's the wondrous beauty of
her smile.
It's gentle as lily in stream;
1t glistens DER her cheeks and in
her eye;
