A person in confession confesses an
occasion of sin, and firmly resolves
never to commit that sin again, but
does not make a resolution TO avoid
the occasion. Was that confession sac
religious?
We are obliged in conscience to
avoid the proximate occasions of NOR
tai sin. If l know from repeated eX-
periences that certain person, place.
or thing is the proximate occasion of
grave sin for me, and if, notwithstand-
ing my resolutions, fall back into
the same sin in the presence of that
occasion, am obliged in conscience
TO put that person, place or thing out
of my life. l cannot firmly resolve to
avoid a sin unless | am determined
to remove the proXimate occasion of
that sin. These are the general prin-
ciples governing your case. Their APP
plication to your confessions should
be decided by the advice of your con-
fessor, Consult him and abide by his
decision.

A l|ARRIAGE BUREAU
CIVIL MARRIAGE MADE EASIER
FOR POOR OF FRANcE-RESULT
LARGELY OF WORK OF ST.
FRANCIS REGIS sociETY-A
FLouRIsHING ORGANIZATION.
(By N. C. w. C. News Service. J

Great satisfaction is felt in France
over the recent laws simplifying the
formalities of civil marriages, which
are much more complicated than those
of the religious marriages
A Catholic society, the Society of
st. Francis Regis, was founded in
France some years ago to remedy the
trouble caused by the numerous for,
malities as result of which many
poor people, for lack of time, money
and sometimes, lack of instruction,
lived together in irregular unions.
Through the moral influence of it's
members, the st. Francis Regis Socie.
ty obtained the consent of these people
to the civil and religious ceremonies;
the society then took upon itself all
the necessary formalities and pro.
cured all the papers required.
In the year before the war, the So
ciety obtained in this way the regular
ization of 105,34O unions; it brought
about the legitimizing of ALBA chill
dren born out of wedlock and facili-
tated S5,762 marriages.
The society has been in existence
a hundred years. 1t was founded by
M. Jules Gossin, very charitable man,
who lived at Troyes during the nine
teenth century. Deeply grieved to see
how many people, especially among
the working classes, lived together ir.
regularly, he resolved to remedy such
a grave situation, and offered to help
the poor to regularize their unions.
He was judge and had many faciii.
ties for carrying out his plan.
He was later appointed president of
the tribunal of the Seine, in Paris, and
councillor of the Royal Court, but he
did not abandon his work. Later,
when he was forced by serious ILL
ness to leave Paris, he made VOW
that if he regained his health he would
found a society to regularize the
unions of poor people, and place it
under the patronage of st. Francis
Regis, who had evangelical M. Cos
sins native country.
He recovered his health and return

he founded the st. Francis Regis So
ciety.
The results, which were most en-
couraging from the start, included the
law of December 10, 1885, which au.
thorized the writing of statements OH
unstamped paper and the writing of
all certificates without registration
taxes in the case of the marriage OF
indigents.
In spite of many formalities, the re.
suits obtained by the society have
been most successful The society is
supported entirely by charitable COD.
tributions, and the workers are all
volunteers.
The society also collects clothing,
shoes, ETC., in order that the poor may
be properly clothed on their wedding
day.

Brief Reviews and Notices

Mile. Louise Human. BY Madame
Paul Fliche. Published by Pierre
Tequi, Paris. Price 8 francs.
The history of France abounds in
records of women of superior gifts and
attainments who have left deep i'm
press upon their time In this book
Nine. Fliche presents the life of a
French lady of Alsace, Mile. Human,
whose family name is written large in
the pages of French history. Like
Nine. Swetchine, who was tower Of
strength in their doubts to such men
as Montalembert and Lacordaire, the
subject of this work also gathered
about her coterie of brilliant minds
saturated in pagan ideals and false
science, and she gradually led them
to see the truth and to embrace it.
Such were the famous Able Bantam,
Pere Ratisbonne, Level, Goschler, and
host of others who, tinder the in
tluence of this noble woman, laid aside
their pagan philosophy and became
fervent defenders of the Church.
Mile Human was born in Stras-
bourg in 1855. At the age of twenty
two she entered the Congregation of
Notre Dame, but was forced to leave
on account of ill health. During the
stormy period of the terrible revolu-
ton she suffered much and was often
in danger of death. About this time
Louise came under theEinfluence of
the Able Colmar. one gsof the giant
figures of the Churchsg during the
prosecutions of the revolution. To
gether with Nine. .Breck, Louise open
ed school for girls, and this institute
soon became the gathering place for
many of the most brilliant minds of
the day. This extraordinary woman
remained power for good, especially
among the intellectual classes, until
her death which occurred in 1885.
The life of this splendid woman
throws an interesting light on many
phases of Church history in France
during her time.
