were completed before the Reforma-

the Renaissance had falsified the Cath
olic tradition by trying to produce
buildings classic in appearance, but
having no organic relationship to their
form of construction. This was the
period when the individual architect
appeared upon the scene, and as the
ancient Christians forgetting Christ,
declared themselves followers of Pet

builders of the 18th Century declared
themselves followers Of Michael An

A MOTHERS MoNITORY MODEL

The devotion of st. Anne, whose
feast the Church celebrates on July
&c, is one that finds an echo above
all in the heart Of every true Christian
mother. She and her husband Joa-
chin were both of the royal house of
David, not a mixed marriage-and
their lives were wholly occupied in
prayer and good works. One thing
only was wanting to their union, they
were childless and this was consid-
cred a bitter misfortune among the
Jews.-In modern times such misfor-
tune is very frequently brought on
purpOsely even by Catholic husbands
and wives; sometimes also by condi-
tons for which owners of apartment
houses are responsible before man
and Code!
At last, when ST. Anne was an aged
woman, Mary was born, the fruit of
grace and prayer rather than of ma
ture And this child was destined to
be the Mother of God, our own sweet
Mother Mary. st. Anne took special
care of her; she watched her every
movement with solicitous tenderness
and at the age of three years conse-
Grated her to the Lord in His holy
temple. Hence, st. Anne is glorious
among the Saints, not only as the
mother of Mary, but because she gave
her child back to God. May Christian
parents, especially mothers, learn
from her to reverence a divine voca-
ton as the highest privilege, and to
sacrifice every natural tie, however
holy, at the call of God.

FOR THE SPREAD
OF THE FAITH IN WALES.

The present condition of religion in
Wales offers great opportunity for
Catholics to carry on propaganda
work in behalf of the true faith there,
in the opinion of a correspondent.
Now that the Welsh Church has
ceased to be state church, and the
non-Anglicans have work cut out for
them to see that the Episcopal Church
does not become too national, the
time is looked upon by this writer as
extremely opportune for the unIim.
bering of Catholic apologize guns.
In this connection the correspond
ent points out one great deficiency
among many Catholics which greatly
retards the spread of the faith among
even well-disposed non Catholics.
Nom onformists and Anglicans, he
says, are ready to listen to the Cath
Ollie case if Catholics will only cour-
ageously go out and present it to
them. But non-Catholics complain
that when they breach the subject of
the Catholic religion to many Catho-
lies, the latter refuse to discuss it, on
the ground that their belief is "per-
sonal matter"
This, the correspondent suggests, is
unfortunate. He urges that Welsh
Catholics should spread the light of
truth among non-Catholics. It is in
the factory and the workshop, in the
mine and in the field, he suggests,
that conversions are likely to take
place.

THE LOVE OF GOD.

Those who have learned to love
the Divine Heart are taught day by
day to appreciate more and more
the wondrous love that was mani
tested towards the human race when
Our Lord instituted the Holy
Eucharist They learn, too, to form
a right estimate of the GOODNESS and
Indifference with which Our Lord is
treated in this Sacrament of His
love, and they are inspired with a
desire not merely to cultivate a
tender affection in their own hearts,
but to spread the devotion to all
mankind.
Attendance at daily Mass, and
Communion, if possible, or a daily
visit to the Blessed Sacrament, read
ing spiritual books, are means by
which we may foster devotion to the
Blessed Sacrament, and by the influ-
ence of our example bring others to
a closer union with God. To num-
berless Catholics in our day the
reproach of Our Lord might truth
fully be repeated: There hath
stood One in the midst of you whom
you know not So many act as if
they were unaware of the Sacred
Presence patiently waiting in the
tabernacle to receive the homage and
love of His children
His return to us on our affairs at
Mass, at Communion, is not simply
that we might worship, but that the
need we have of sweetness, in re-
ligion might be amply supplied We
must approach His presence, gather
about Him. for the refreshment of

HUMOROUS SIDE OF sPlRITIsM.

In the recent rawlings of Spiritism
one phase of it seems to have been
largely lost sight of by both sides to
the controversy over it. That is it's
humorous side, says the Pilot.
In the midst of the emotional craze
to taste of the novelty of the new
religion its supporters seem largely
side of it. And in their much needed
zeal to save men from the horrible
consequences of Spiritism, it's oppo-
nentS also seem too much to have
missed the comedy element in it. Per
haps they were wise in so doing, for
even scorching satire is probably pow
erless to cure for many people evils
which enticingly tempt them.
Still the fact remains that Spiritism
has it's comic side. What can be
more comic than some of the phenom-
ena of Heavenly bliss" described by
some of Spiritism's alleged CORE
spondents in-well, in what is the
Spiritist equivalent of Bedlam, per-
haps? Is it not mildly diverting to be
told that the dear departed So-and-So
is still smoking some particular brand
of cigarettes, or quaffing some up-to-
date brand of soda water, or whatever
may be the very earthly-sounding
brand of bliss to which the spirit is
addicted?
AS Myles E. Connolly says in an ar
,1Jo - - :.:4
the Catholic Weekly "America";
Once, if man declared that his dead
grandfather had made the library ia
BILE dance for him, or that he was chat
ting with the soul of Bobbie Burns Gas
a medium told the writer) and Bobbie
had said that they have beers and
light wines in heaven, he would have
been complimented for his imagina-
ton and command over the incongru-
Gus by a hearty laugh. Today, he is
complimented for his sincerity and
sanity by a profound attention and a
serious and prolonged debate"
Or was the person who thus spoke
of the beers and light wines uttering
a high brand of comedy, or satirizing
the present condition of the dry
United States? Very likely the hui
NOR was unconscious, but therefore
all the more laughable.
The serious opponents of Spiritism
have, of course, done a world of good.
They have done more good, probably,
than all the humor and satire on the
subject might do. Yet there is a
great power in humor and satire, for
those who understand it. And Spirit
ism would seem to be an excellent
field for them

NIGHTINGALE AND
THE CHURCH.

The debt which Florence Nightin-
gale, the famous Nurse of the Crimea
owed to Catholic nuns seems to have
been largely overlooked in references
to her work in, connection with the
recent centenary of her birth. Yet it
stands out as one of the most impress
sive features of her accomplishments,
says a writer in The Pilot.
The inspiration which she drew
from nuns and the help she received
from them was we'll admitted by her.

Irish nuns is a thing which should not
be forgotten. When she went to the
Crimea she was accompanied by Sis
tiers of Mercy. Though she was nom

inally their leader, she was really
learning from them. They taught her
many things.
1t is interesting to the Catholic to
be reminded that, during what has
been termed her starved young wo-
manhood" she wondered whether she
could be received into Catholic con-
vent without being Catholic.
In connection with her Crimean
work, it is related that when some of
the Bermondsey nuns returned home.
Florence Nightingale wrote 10 the
Mother Superior, saying that she (the
Superior) had been far above herself
in fitness for the general superintend
ency, both in worldly talent of ad
ministration and, of course far more
SO, in spiritual qualifications.
Dearest Reverend Mother" she
wrote, what you have done for the
work no one can ever say. My love
and gratitude will be yours wherever
you co.
These words ought to be enough -
assure students of Florence Nightin-
gale of what a great debt the work
owed to Catholic religious. 1t is re-
markable tribute to their ability, their
readiness to serve, and their capacity
for teaching others secrets of their
accomplishments The place which
Catholic nuns held in this far famed
sphere of merciful activity is his
toric monument to them And what
better recognition could it have than
in the words to which reference has
just been made?
Indeed, the work of the Catholic
nuns in the Florence Nightingale
activity makes story which adds an
other chapter to the long history of
Catholic benevolent work. Seemingly
it ought to be an inseparable part of
the story of the Nightingale achieve
ments.

and the individual was merged in his

and the individual was merged in his
work.
In speaking of the various styles
which flourished before the Renais-
sance | have said that in spite of
their variety they were fundamental
ly alike. BY that | mean that they
were created for the purposes of
Catholic worship. In those days men
looked to the Church as the fountain
of wisdom and authority, and the
Sacrament of the Eucharist as the
highest expression of human aspira-
ton and worship. The building prin-
ciple which the Church laid down
was the use always of the materials
at hand in each locality, and the type
of construction and labor available
for a truthful expression of the pur-
pose of each building. The carrying
out of this soundest of all architec-
tural principles caused the develop
ment of the different styles, and gave
to each country, and each locality, its
distinctive architecture.
Modern invention and modern life
with all the world in closest inter
communication make return to such
conditions impossible. but while GUS
toms and manners change, principles
do not, and l believe that by a return
to the fundamental principle laid
down by the Church when it was
Catholic, the one on architecture, can
be produced under modern conditions
which will express the modern world
and modern life as perfectly as Notre
Dame, or Chartres or Amiens ex'
press the life of the world at the time
in which they were built, and express
it Just as beautifully.

our lives, to break down the hideous
monotony of our work, to add the
brightness of love to the gray streets
and grayer skies. Not holiness
alone, but the beauty of holiness is
required to bind our hearts, our
whole souls to God. The child,
which with it's wistful trust demands
protection, asks for something more
than strong defense; it needs also
the warm welcome of love. And
in so far are we all children; we
need the gentleness and mercy of
God to be made manifest, else we
shall be too frightened to go on. If
religion is to mean much to me, l
must approach the altar of the
sweetness of God that giveth joy to
my youth.

VIRTUE AND KNOWLEDGE.

One may be a good critic in philos-
ophy and a very poor judge of re-
ligiOn or history, says Henri Didon.
Certain human sciences demand not
only the speculative mind but a long
experience.
Moral doctrines are much better
criticized even by the ignorant who
have experimental with virtue than
by the skeptic who doubts the austere
joys of sacrifice.
The saints who lived on the word
of Jesus will always understand Him
better than the exacting Pharisees
who repealed Him and knew not the
Saviour. A delicate taste distinguish
es shadings which escape the chem
list.

Apple Business
OF Washington
Volume 1.

Perhaps the developments that
are taking place in the fruit bust
ness of the northwest do not inter-
est you and then again perhaps
: you merely imagine that they do
not concern you.
Since 1926, when the first apple
trees were planted in the northwest
at what is now Vancouver, Wash,
the industry has grown until, at
the present time, in some of its
phases it touches each resident of
every city and town and section of
the country contributary to these
orchard lands.
It has grown by leaps and bounds
until the mere size of it compels
your interest.
The 1919 apple crop in Wash
ington, Oregon and Idaho was
more than twice the volume of the
California orange crop, and Wash
ington alone produced an apple
crop equaling one hundred and
fifty per cent Of Calfornia's orange
crop.
In 1919 there were grown and
shipped within the United States
in refrigerator cars alone, one mill
lion and seventy thousand carloads
Of perishable (not including pack
ing house) products.
This enormous tonnage, ever
increasing, emphasizes the need for
storage as well as vast increases
in railroad equipment.
Notwithstanding the fact that
the apple business is now great
national industry being conducted
along modern merchandising lines.
the ultimate success of the business
depends largely on organized, rath-
er than individual effort. The great
task Of organization among fruit
growers has only begun.
Merchants and manufacturers,
bankers and business men general
ly can aid those who are unselfish-
" giving their time to this work.
Apples are grown to eat as well

new our youth, as the ancients did,

When Mrs. Housewife comes to
the store now it is with ninety
degree in the shade basket, and it
is harder to find things to fill it
than it was last winter, when
fire felt good and you didn't mind
cooking. Now it is hot, and you
are looking for things you don't
have to cook.
One lady left our store this
morning with the following arti-
cles in her basket: A piece of
cheese, one loaf Of bread, a few
cookies, head Of lettuce and can
OF baked beans. Another lady
had the same assortment with two
cans of sardines. Safe to say, they
are not doing much cooking these
hot days.

had been asleep in the sunshine
awakened, raised his nose toward
the sky and howled most delorous-
ly and continuously.
The darby stopped ringing the
bell, scowled and yelled at him:
