 The elder Mrs. Fisher has been spend- ing some weeks with Alabama relatives,

 one of the early pioneers of the Sun shine state, having left her native state of Louisiana during the days of the fla nous Forty niners," long before a l transcontinental railroad was built or

THE WORLD AND THE NUN.

The world cannot understand the
nun. She is for it mystery which
it is unable to solve. 1t cannot con-
ceive why she left her home, nor how
she can be contented in the cloister.
1t marvels at the conduct of her par
ents, her brothers and sisters in allow
ing her to be "immured," says the
Catholic Columbian. 1t looks upon
her life as failure. 1t pictures her as
morbid, melancholy being, fitting
ghost-like through a gloomy. building,
and looking for death to deliver her
from her Indebtedness. 1t has the
DRY that all the inmates of nunneries
were either disappointed in love, or
are of such harsh natures as to have
no affection themselves and to be in
capable of arousing it in others. Oc-
casionally it hears of some beautiful,
wealthy, cultured young woman en-
tering a convent, and it can hardly
credit the news Its preconceptions
of what a nun should be are shocked:
and it can find no excuse for her in
turning her back on what it holds
dear 1t can see no charm in life of
sacrifice. 1t cannot appreciate virgin
ity. 1t will not be persuaded that a
woman may abandon all hope of moth
erhood to devote herself to the suffer.
ing, the ignorant, the fallen. 1t can
not forgive her for refusing to accept
its maxims. She is to be despised
when she is not pitied.
"By their fruits We shall know
them" Our daughters and sisters
whom we love most dearly, and who
as poor and chaste and obedient Sis
tiers are the jewels of the Church, are
the happiest women on earth. Freely
they have chosen the life they lead
and in it they find that peace which
the world cannot give, and which is
foretaste of the bliss of Heaven.

you read or attempt to look off into

vision. The safest course for you to
pursue is to consult with DR.. H. J

Lady, today when summer airs
Are rich with toll of grain and fruit,
Our song it's freight of tribute bears
Though bird-songs faint have grown
or mute;
And constant as the quail, whose flute
Pipes one fond call where'er he strays,
Each heart a singing pilgrim fares
One name the Mecca of it's praise
Thine, Mary, Virgin-Mother, full of
grace.
No stored name rings sWeeter
In any rhyme or meter,
Nor loneliness cOmpleter
Was e'er by poet sung.
o deathless flower of our race
Thy bloom is ever young.
This boast is by thy lovers borne
Down country lane and city street;
Through valleys green with growing
corn,
Ger rolling prairies hazed with heat
Where stand the golden shocks OF
wheat;
The olive and the vine among;
Round ruined shrines that stand for
lOrn
In lands from thy dominion wrung:
Sin never held thee slave, nor charne
earth.
Deaths portals opened to thee,
But Thrall he never knew thee;
Gods eager angels drew thee
Triumphant to His throne;
For she that Heavens King gave
birth.
None other lord might own.

PRIMITIVE MAN AND HIS RELIC.
ION.

The ideas of a certain school of evo-
lutiOnists, quite frequently featured in
our Sunday papers by sO-called Scien-
fists, received a decided setback at the
hands of a distinguished n-CathOlic
eSsayist recently. In particular, that
religion is not a revelation, but a thing
which grew from scattered elements
in human experience, is riddled by
Gilbert k Chesterton in an article in
the New Witness, London, in which
he suggests that the old idea of tradi-
tion is much more convincing to com
mon sense.
Discussing the recent World His
tory by H. G. Wells, Chesterton ridi-
culeS the idea that religion was slow
growth from scattered experiences.
THAT motley material accidents,
Chesterton says, should make up an
ultimately indivisible idea seems
much less likely than the old story
that a mystical tradition fingered long
after some mystical event.
Il might be surprised to learn that
our distant descendants will develop
some entirely new emotion, inconceiv
able to us, but so urgent to them that
they will break their hearts as for a
love affair or fall fighting as for a
flag. But | should not only be sur
prised, but somewhat skeptical, if
were told that this simple enthusiasm
will be developed by combining com
monplace and utterly different things
of our own day; that it will be mix
ture of the hurry to catch train, the
pleasure of smoking a good cigar, the
difficulty of learning the fox trot and
the difference between butter and mar
garine. | do not see why these things
should combine into one emotion; and
/ do not think they will.
Arguments Prove Nothing.
But the point that took my atten
ton was this: That in connection
with this general idea of the slow
growth of religion Mr.. Wells suggests
that. the primitive men for whose
