FORTY.

Forty is number that has always,
among Christians, been regarded as
having a special significance, because
of it's use in the Scriptures. Thus
Moses was 40 days on the Mount
Elijah was 40 days fed by the ravens !;
the rain of the flood fell 40 days and
another 40 days expired before Noah
opened the windows of the ark; 40
days was the period of embalming;
Jonah gave Nineveh 40 days to repent;
our Lord tasted 40 days.
st. Swithin betokens 40 days rain
or dry weather; quarantine extends
to 40 days; 40 days in the old English
law was the limit of the payment of
the fine for man-slaughter; the priv
ilege of sanctuary was for 40 days :;
the widow was allowed to remain in
her husbands house for 40 days after
his decease; a knight enjoyed 40 days
service of his tenant; a stranger at
the expiration of 40 days was COM
PEELED to be enrolled in some tithing;
members of Parliament were protected
from arrest for 40 days after the House
was convened, and the ancient physi-
clans ascribed many strange changes
to the period of 40 days; the alchem-
lists looked on 40 days as the charmed
period when the philosophers stone
and the elixir of life were to appear.

CHEERING SOMEONE ON.

Don't you mind about the triumphs,
Don't you worry about fame;
Don't you grieve about succeeding,
Let the future guard your name.
All the best in life's the simplest,
Love will last when wealth is gone;
Just be glad that you are living,
And keep cheering someone on.
Let your neighbors have the bios
SONS,
Let your comrades wear the crown
Never mind the little setbacks
Nor the blows that knock you
down.
You'll be there when they're forgot.
You'll be glad with youth and dawn
If you just forget your troubles
And keep cheering someone on.
There's lot of sorrow round you,
Lots of lonesomeness and tears;
Lots of heartaches and of worry
Through the shadows of the years !;
And the world needs more than tri.
umphs.
More than all the swords we've
drawn.
1t is hungering for the fellow
Who keeps cheering others on.

TRIBUTE TO THE CATHOLIC
CHAPLAIN.

Sir Philip Gibbs in his recent book,
"Now It Can Be Told" writes as fol-
lows of the impression he received
from the Catholic chaplain's work at
the front:
Catholic soldiers had simpler,
stronger faith than men of Protestant
denominations, whose faith depended
more on ethical arguments and intel
lectual reasonings. Catholic chaplains
had an easier task. Leaving aside all
argument, they. heard the confessions
of the soldiers, gave them absolution
for their sins, said Mass for them in
wayside barns, administered the Sac
raments, held the Cross to their lips
when they fell mortally wounded,
anointed them when the surgeons
knife was at work, called the names
of Jesus and Mary into dying ears.
There was no need of argument here,
The old Faith which has survived
many wars, many plaques, and the old
wickedness of men was still full of
consolation to those who accepted it
as little children, and by their own
agony hoped for favor from the Man
of Sorrows who was hanged upon
cross, and found mother-love in the
vision of Mary, which came to them
when they were in fear and pain and
the struggle of death. The padre had
a definite job to do in the trenches
and for that reason was allowed more
liberty in the line than other chap
lains. Battalion officers, surgeons, and
| nurses were patient with mysterious
rites which they did not understand,
| but which gave comfort, as they saw,
to wounded men; and the heroism
| with which many of those priests
! worked under fire, careless of their own
| lives, exalted by spiritual fervor yet
| for the most part human and humble,
and large-hearted and tolerant, aroused
a general admiration throughout the
army. Many of the Protestant clergy
| were equally devoted, but they were
handicapped by having to rely more
| upon providing physical comfort for
the men than upon spiritual acts, such
as amounting and absolution, which
were accepted without question by
| Catholic soldiers.

WHY SHOULD BE MORAL?

A correspondent of the Bombay Ex-
aminer asks the editor to answer in
one or two sentences, the question:
'Why should I be moral?" Father
Hull admits that the shortest answer
which he has ever heard to that ques-
tion was that of a laconic American,
although some might accuse him of ir-
reverence, put it, crudely yet sincere
ly thus: eff l didn't believe in the
Boss upstairs, l should jest do as l
darn please!" The American reply,
was equivalent to saying: God is
our maker and our master. He has
the right to command, and we have
the right to obey"
In academic form, the noted writer
gives his correspondent the following
answer, in which clearness is not sac
rificed to brevity: Morality consists
in doing what is right as a duty;
that is, because | ought. A duty
means something due to somebody,
and that somebody is God. God, be-
ing our maker and master, has a
right to command; and it is there
fore our duty to obey. From God
we receive all that we are and all
that we can do; and therefore we
owe it to Him to be what He wills
us to be, and to do what He wills
us to do. And this is morality" 4.
Does not the chief explanation of
the widespread and altogether deplor-
able lack of morality in the world to
day, lie in the fact that men and
women forget the existence of God,
and reckon nothing of the obligations
they have to Him? Where there is
such a growing spirit of irreligion, it
is not surprising that immortality
grows apace.

DERIVATION OF CATHOLIC
NAMES.

The derivation of first names given
to children in Catholic countries, and
elsewhere, furnishes an interesting
study. 1t affords chance to trace
to Catholic sources some names of
which the Catholic meaning might not
easily appear at first sight.
Take the name of Carmen" for in
stance. or "Carmencita." How many
are there who realize that is is be-
slowed in honor of Our Lady of Mt
Carmel? In Italy it is used in it's
masculine form of "Carmelo," and
there are also "Carmela," "Carmine'
and "Carmelita."
Dolores" is name which is prom
inent with some people. 1t is given
in honor of the Seven Dolors of the
Blessed Virgin. Mercedes is name
which to some English-speaking peo-
pie probably would not carry its deri-
vation very obviously. 1t is given to
girls in honor of Our Lady of Mercy.
In Catholic countries, especially
Spain, many such names are given in
honor of the Blessed Virgin. Il
Then there are foreign names less
familiar to American ears. There is
"Annonciade," in honor of the Annun
citation; "Purificacion, which is clear
ly enough in honor of the Purifica
ton and "Assunta" in honor of the
Assumption.
It is easy enough to realize that

THE CATHOLIC CHURCH THE
MOST FORMIDABLE FOE
OF EOLSHEVISM.

The worldwide organization which
is going on among the Catholic clergy
and laity for the overthrow of Boil
shevism and Socialism is attracting
the attention of leading secular jour-
nails, which declare that they recognize
in it the most powerful influence that
has yet been put forward for the sup
preston of these evils which threaten
the destruction Of all law, authority
and social order.
The Literary Digest in a recent is
sue, under the caption, catholic
Union Against the 'Reds,'" says edi-
torially:
ITO fight the '"Red" International ;
Catholic parties of European countries
are organizing into a Catholic Inter-
NATIONAL which the Boston Transcript
is inclined to think may we'll prove
the most formidable of the foes Of
Bolshevism In an editorial based on
a recent news dispatch from Geneva,
the Boston daily tells of plans being
formed for putting the organization on
working basis this summer. Details
have yet to be worked out, but the
purpose is clear-'to combat the So
cial anarchy of Bolshevism by pro-
gram of social reform We read fur
ther:

ization of Catholics is in spirit con-
servative. 1t demands the preserva-

THE HURST METHOD AND
. MOTHERHOOD,

The matrimonial program advocated,
after experiment, by one of our lead
ing feminine fictionists is further elu-
cidated by her in it's bearing upon
the rather important question of moth

Miss Fannie Hurst-her husband
calls her "Miss"-is thus quoted: 81
can see no reason at all why woman
with a profession of her own cannot
raise her child more efficiently by in
trusting it's upbringing, properly super
vised, to woman who is a profes-
sional in that way. That certainly
seems to me to be the wiser way, at
least while children are in the young
er stage, unfolding like little buds
growing into flowers"
The woman who can talk about chill
dren unfolding like little buds grow
ing into flowers and in the same
breath speak of relegating her own
little bud to the care of some other
woman during the most beautiful, most
interesting, most important stage of
it's development, simply does not know
what motherhood means, and we are
sorry for her.
In its demands upon all that is best
and finest in the creative powers of
the human mind and Imagination,
there is no task more exigent, more alb.
sorbing, more satisfying than that of
nurturing a little new life into the ex-
preston of its richest and fairest pos.

enough to believe that any profession
to which a woman may devote herself
should be interrupted when she be-
comes a mother in order to do this big.

THEIRS is A SACRIFICE.

Speaking at the recent reception of
the Visitation nuns, the Rev. John
F. Sullivan, S. j., lauded the generous
spirit of those Catholic parents who
contribute so generously to the serv-
ice of the Church by furnishing work

"The sacrifice which fathers and
mothers made when they gave up
their sons for the service of their
country was a noble and heroic one"
he remarked, "but this is a sacrifice
which Catholc fathers and mothers
have been making to God all through
the centuries, fathers and mothers
who have given up their sons and
daughters willingly, yet with: bleeding
hearts, to. follow. the standard of
Christ, to serve in the noble cause
of Catholic education. They are con-
tent to see the fair daughter who
was the sunshine of their lives, whose
voice was music to their ears, leave
their home desolate to enter the
House of God and dwell there forever,

The girl in the darkened room, with
bandage over her eyes,, founced
angrily on the bed on which she lay,
the springs creaking protestingly
under her weight Her sister, who
had asked the question, looked little
startled, but not at all puzzled.
"Do anything for me? guess if
you had to be shut up in the dark with
your eyes bandaged, and nobody came
near you for hours and hours"
ooh, HiIda," the sister remonstrat-
ed, "it is only half an hour since
was here BEFORE"
"Well, if it's such sacrifice, you
don't need to come at all! l suppose
l shall live through this, though
really don't see how I'm going to stand
it much longer"
The sister was almost in tears.
"Hilda, I was sorry to leave you
alone SO much this morning. But you
know there's lot of work to be done

Hilda. Go off and leave me to my
self. Want anything, did you say? Q

herself and made several attempts tc

outstanding events in contemporary
Italian history. A few years ago the
Catholic Party in Italy numbered but
a score of members in the Chamber
of Deputies at Rome. In the elections
of last November it sent 102 repre-
sentatives to the Chamber of Deputies
and now ranks as regards numbers as
the second political part in Italy,
yielding only to the Italian Socialists
in membership. The Italian Catholic
Party is pledged to the defense of the
existing social order against Bolshe-
vik onslaughts. 1t aims at the eco
nomic reconstruction of the country
by sane and rational methods. 1t has
adopted a comprehensive platform of
social progress in order that the peo-
pie may enjoy better standard of
living. The party stands for law and
order, against the excesses of reyo-
lutionary Socialism. And because it
stands for these things it has won to
it's allegiance host of followers from
all elements of italian life. So strong,
indeed, has the Catholic Peoples S
