DISSERTATIONS.

The Catholic Church sometimes,
and for good reasons, grants dis,
pensation from the ecclesiastical law
forbidding mixed marriages, because
she hopes in certain particular cases
that these evils may be obyiated. She
lays down three conditions: LIST. Both
parties must promise that all the chill
dren be reared in the Catholic faith
End. The non-C Catholic must promise
not to interfere in any way with the
religious life of the Catholic. Cd. The
Catholic must promise to do every
thing POSSIBILITY prayer, good ex
ample, and persuasion--to bring the
non Catholic to the true faith.
Dispensations are never granted fol

or sinful, or against the divine law
They cannot be bought, hut the sti
ponds paid are simply fines imposed
only on those who can readily pay
them for the exception to the ordinary
law of the Church. The money OBJ
tanned in this way is devoted to the
support of religion and to charitable
purposes; the poor are granted dis
pensations gratis.

THE ALTAR LAMP.

All day from dawn to dusk it glows,
And through the quiet hours of night
The darkness wears it like rose
Upon her mantle blooming bright.
A star of Bethlehem that shows,
Dear Lord, where thou art housed
within,
Thy easement lamp is set for those
That sanctuary seek from sin.
1t guides alike to .mercy's goal
Each prodigai, home-bound once more
And friends that for thy gracious dole
Wear smooth the threshold of thy
door.
It steads us for thine aureole,
Since here thy splendors all are furl
ed;
The flame unquenched from pole tt
pole,
A type of thee, Light of the world!
My Lord, for this one boon I plead:
Mid summers warmth or winters
snow,
In pain or pleasure, wealth or need,
Through happiness serene or woe,
Still may thy grace within me feed
A lamp of love to burn for thee;
In which my ey'ry thought and deed
A taper newly-lit may be.

DIVORCED CATHOLICS?

There is absolutely no truth to the
wild statement sometimes heard that
divorce is sometimes granted to Cath
olics. As matter of fact we chal-
lenge any one to point out one divorce
ever granted under the sanction of the
Church after the consummation of a
valid marriage. The firm stand of the
Popes in this matter is evidenced in
the protest against divorce by Mich.
olas I. against Lothian, by Urban II.
and Paschal II. against Philip I. OF
France, by Celestine III. and Innocent
III, against Philip II. of France, by
Clement VII. and Paul III. against Hen.
rry VIII, and, lastly by Plus VII
against Napoleon /. (cf. Leo Kill, En-.
cyclical Arcanum). In our own day
the Church has refused to grant de
cree of divorce to Count de Castellane
who married Anna Gould of New York

IRISH SAINTS LOVED ANIMALS.

DR.. Douglas Hyde recently delivered
a series of lectures-the Margaret
Stokes Lectures-in the Alexandra
College. Dublin, dealing with mediae-
val Irish lore. He told anecdotes
about the Irish saints and their love
OF birds and beasts. He traced the
love OF animals by people in different
periods and in different countries.
Even the lrsih pagans had their pet
animals.
He took the three Irish saints. st.
Patrick, St. -Brigid and st. COlum-
kille. and spoke of their affections for
their pet animals. st. Patrick's kind
ness to the fawn was we'll authenticat.
ed, and the fawn returned the love to
his master.
St. Brigid had her pet dog. a most
faithful animal She also loved birds
and the birds. especially domestic
fowls, loved her in a remarkable man
ner.
The crane was st. Columkiile's pet
although his love for all dumb animals
surpassed that of the other saints. II
was recorded in the life of the saint
that dumb animals, too, were in love
with him, especially birds, and thai
some of the latter followed him from
Ireland to the island of Iona. There
| was, in proof of the love of animals
for the saint, the story of how the
horse wept on the bosom of the saint
the night before he died.

FIGHT IT THROUGH.

In your work and in your play,
Fight it through!
Hang right on like yellow clay,
Fight it through!
When a job you once begin,
Through the thick and through tht
thin,
Set your mind and heart to win!
Fight it through,
What if others may have failed,
Fight it through!
Though by powerful odds assailed,
Fight it through!
Refuse to be an "also-ran,"
Square your shoulders like man,
Grit your teeth and say Il CAM"
Fight it through!
Well, suppose things do look bad,
Fight it through!
Show a little pep, get mad!
Fight it through!
When you know you're in the right,
It's your, duty, boy, to fight,
So go in with all your might!
Fight it through!

a friend to share our joy doubles 1t for
us, and having one in whom we may
confide our sorrow, halves its bitter
pang. If any great happiness, success
or prosperity overtakes us, the very
thought that there is q friend who will
be delighted with our success In
creases our own Joy immensely. On
the other hand, if we have tasted Of
the bitter fruits of life and some trou-
Bile or adversely, great or small, has
come like cloud to darken the hither-
to bright horizon of our hopes, and to
threatens to overshadow the sunshine
of our whole life; but our friend comes
to US, unlimited if he is a true friend.
for true friends visit us in prosperity
only when invited, but in adversely
they come without invitation, and
point out to us the silver lining to that
cloud of sorrow, and instantly the
trouble seems deprived of half its bit
terness, not that it is any less hard
but because friend has come to bear
half the burden on his own shoulders.
A true friend is one who unbosoms
freely, advises justly, assists readily,
adventures boldly, takes all patiently,
defends courageously and remains a
friend. unchangeably. What a great
| blessing is friend in whom We may
safely confide all secrets, who can re-
lieve our cares by his conversation
our doubts by his counsels, our sad
| ness by his good humor, and whose
very looks give comfort to us.
! Commend me to that generous heart
Which like the fire on high
| Uplifts the same unvarying brow
To every change of sky.
| Whose friendship does not fade away
When wintry tempests blow,
But like the winters icy crown
Looks greener through the snow
He is the true friend then who is
with us in sunshine and storm and
that unchanging fidelity is really what
is meant by friendship. II it were ex
/ pediency that cemented friendships
expediency when changed would dis
solve them, but because ones nature
can never change, therefore true
friendships are enduring.
Much, certainly, of the happiness
and purity of our lives depends or
our making wise choice of our com
| panions and friends. If our friends
are badly chosen they will inevitably
drag US down; if chosen well, they
cannot fail to have an ennobling, ele
waiting influence on us and consequent
ly on our lives. And yet the strange
thing about it is how few people ex
ercise even a little Judgment or take
friends, and how many seem to trust
blindly to chance to make the selec
| ton for them. Why, they exercise
1 much greater care in the choice of ar
office boy than in selecting friends b,
whom their whole life will be more o,
less influenced for good Or evil. In the
case of friends tits always well to re
member that zone should never judgt
a book by it's cover" and choose ou
friends for what they are and not To-
what they look or have. 1t is sigl
of gentleness to treat everyone with
out distinction, with couresty and con
sideration, but to treat them as friend
betrays a foolish mind.

1. Accurate observation.

3. Energetic action.
Accurate observation naturally de-

lead to correct Judgment. The level

Of right and wrong that produces the
most energetic persistency in any line
of conduct. What finer result can edu.
cation attain than the strong, ener-
getic character whose judgment can
be relied upon and whose facts will
stand all testings?
And yet we leave our little children
in a hazy world of confused sense

them to use any judgment; and often
times not satisfy their eager question

4. To spend your income rightly is

Until you do this, your prayers and

When the quantity of food taken is

stomach may result and especially so
if YOU are constipated. Eat slowly,
masticate your food thoroughly, eat

take one of Chamberlain's Tablets, and
in most cases sour stomach may be
avoided.
