John Henry Newman, afterward the
great Cardinal, was a passenger on

hoped to recovershis health. lie was
especially depressed ION that Gay
when the orange-boat was becalmed
and he sought to soothe his spirits by
composing a hymn. The result was
Lead, Kindly Light" The compost
ton occupied but few hours, and
the .boatman,5 who spoke English and
possessed a fine voice, was asked to
sing it. AS the day melted into dark

Gained voyagers were guided by the

shore into safe harbor
After Newman regained his health

A STRANGE CONVERSION,

One of the most unusual conversions
that has ever happened in Denver
brought q man into the Catholic
Church recently. If anybody asked
him how he happened to turn Catholic,
he would be compelled to answer:
BY accident" But the case shows
that many persons can be won by
getting over our timidity in talking
about religion. Father Joseph J. Gum,
G. IS. R., the missionary, was called
to a hospital to hear the Confession
of Catholic who had not received
the sacrament in years. The clergy
man misunderstood the directions and
got to the wrong bedside. He sat
down and began to talk earnestly to
a man about the necessity of repent
ance.
ut is 10 or Is years since you have
been to Confession, isn't it," he
asked.
Longer than that" said the patient.
perhaps 25 Or 80 years."
Longer than that
Maybe you have never been to
Confession"
no, l haven't
Then the priest realized that he
had made a mistake; that the man
was not the Catholic who had sent for
him. Are you baptized?" said the
priest.
No; I'm not" said the patient.
The priest apologized, told of the
mistake that had been made and went
to find the man who had sent for him.
Two weeks later, the non-Catholic
sent for the priest. 81 have been do
ing good deal Of thinking as result
Of what you said to me- declared the
patient. Il would like to look into
what your Church teaches"
The priest, surprised and delighted,
furnished the man with several good
popular treatises on Catholicity, in
Guiding Cardinal Gibbons Faith of
Our Fathers and a catechism.
A week later, he returned to see the
man. The patient had learned the
Catechism from cover to cover. The
priest could not puzzle him in any
question. The man was convinced that
Catholicity is the only true religion
OF Jesus Christ and was brought into
the Church
A rather odd thing about the con-
version was what most forcibly appeal
ed to the man as a mark of genuine
truth i'll Catholicity. 1t was not in
falllbility, the Real Presence, Comics
sion or one of the other deeper truths
that SO often swing people into tho
Church, but the:fact that Catholics adj
here to the doctrine Of st, Paul that
women cannot occupy our pulpits.

''Nor does the grave give up the
dead
So said they in their pride,
Mindful of new sealed tomb
Upon Golgatha's side,
Wherein was laid for His last sleep
The One they crucified. ~
Through the grey dawn murmur
crept
The mourners' dirge of woe;
The heralds of the coming day
Set all the East aglow,
Before the tomb the Roman guards
Paced, stately, to and fro.
Fen as they paced the measured space
A terror numbed them there,
The great grave-stone was set aside
The empty tomb laid bare.
Their eyes were held, they did not see
That Vision, wondrous, fair.
And none may break the bonds of
Death
So said they in their pride,
The while they sealed new-made
tomb
Upon Golgotlia' S side
And 10, the One they sent to death
IIalh risen gloritled.
