feast and season of the ecclesiastical
year. 1t always expresses the funda
mental thought of the days celebra
ton. The faithful all stand at the
reading of the gospel to show their
profound reverence for the life and
teachings of Jesus Christ. ~
The Symbolism.
At solemn high Mass the reading
of the gospel is marked by the splen
dor of lighted candles and the sweet
odor of incense. During the singing
of the gospel two acolytes hold light
ed torches and stand on each side OF
the book. The light symbolizes Jesus
Christ, ''the sun that knows no set
ting Christ the light of the world
leading men from the darkness of su
perstition to the brightness of grace
and truth. The psalmist exclaims
Thy word is a lamp of my feet and q
light to my path" The lighted candies
admonish us of the words of Christ:
Let your light shine, before men, that
they may see your good works and
glorify your father who is in heaven
The faithful here are admonished te
be not only hearers Of the word but
doors as well. p"
The incensing at the gospel has
also very special meaning. The book
is incensed at the gospel to signify the
profound reverence due to the word Of
God. The clouds which encircle the
book call to our mind how BY the an
nouncement of the gospel is spread
the good odor of Jesus Christ. The
sweet smell of incense reminds us Of
how pure and virtuous every Chris
tian should be. si
After the reading of the gospel, the
acolyte answers in the name of the
people, praise be to thee, o Christ
The priest then kisses the first words
of the gospel, saying, "By virtue oi
the word of the gospel may our sins
be blotted out The priest here
means venial sins, for the remission
of which attrition is sufficient. This
sorrow for sin may easily be evoked
by the reading of the. gospel. The
kissing of the gospel symbolizes the
love and reverence. of the priest fol
the teachings of the Master.
In conclusion, let us thank God fol
His holy doctrine, and let us always
show ourselves worthy followers Of
our Divine Teacher, Jesus Christ.

GAME OF LEARNING TO SWIM.

Vacation days are swimming days.
Last year more than $4,000 persons
learned to swim through the aid of
Red Cross instructors, and among them
were hundreds of boys and girls of the
Junior American Red Cross, who
proudly took the Learn to SWIM
pledge-"Resolved, will no longer be
a sink-easy."
Swimming is a game every boy and
girl can play, but in learning to swim
you must become accustomed to the
water. First, try to initiate duck. 1t
thrusts it's head under the water and
looks about for food. If it can see, So
can you. Sure enough, you can see!
Now try again before you forget. 1t
will not hurt either your eyes or your
ears.
The next step in our game is to imi-
tate a motor boat. The motor boat
takes the air into one valve of the car
buretor and lets it out through the I'M
derwater exhaust pipe. Adapt that
idea to yourself. Take in a big breath,
close your mouth, rest your face in the
water and force the air out through
your nostrils. This is the swimmers
method of breathing.
Now, pretend you are sled. Lie
face down on the water, keeping the
chin drawn in and the arms parallel
with your body, the fingers slightly
lifted to serve as the front runners of
the imaginary sled. A good push with
your feet against the bank and you
go coasting ten or fifteen feet. If you
throw your head back your feet sink;
too much weight in the air.
The next imitation in our game is
that of a sternwhee1 steamboat. After
you have pushed off from the bank
raise your feet alternately clear of the
water and strike back into the water,
getting a push from the ankle to the
toes. The whole leg works and does
not bend very much at the knee.
We are now going to initiate wind
mill, so you must keep your right hand
the same distance back of the left
hand all the time. Start off with a
push as before, one hand resting on
the surface of the water and the other
behind you. AS soon as you glide on
the water-hand you are floating; then
a sweeping stroke down and back
brings the other hand in it's circular
sweep. Your arms revolve as the
windmill arms do,N padding you
through the water. Each time you roll
up for air, glance ahead and see where
you are going.
Now for the final act of our game.
Just imagine, as the windmill is pad
ding along, a steamboat coming UP
stuck together. They can't be sepa-
rated, so for evermore the windmill
arms pull on the front end while the
steamboat paddles push on the other
end as the air is taken into the car
buretor and let out through the under
water exhaust pipe Here you have an
imaginary picture of the movements
of your body as you swim in the water,
and yolf cruising radius will depend
largely Upon practice.

Brownson found American Catholics
composed chiefly of immigrants who
had suffered persecution for their faith,
and who, in their new country, still
felt themselves a down-trodden people
excluded from full national rights.
The awellto-do-C Catholics were afraid
to make their religion prominent. The
Know:Nothing movement was gaining
strength. f
Fearless and powerful, he immedi-
ately cried out against the soft and
apologize manner in which Catholics
as a rule defended their faith and by
his trenchant writings merited letter
of appreciation from the Plenary
CounciI of Baltimore in 1S49 and
another from Pope Plus in 1854. He
continued the publication of the
Quarterly Review, except for an inter.
ruption of seven years after the Civil
War, from 1874 to 1875. This was
his chief medium of expression
During the Know-Nothing agitation
he spoke out boldly against the Native
American Party, declaring it is not a
party against admitting foreigners to
the rights of citizenship, but simply
against admitting a certain class OF
foreigners. 1t does not oppose Prot
estant Germans, Protestant English
men, Protestant Scotchmen or even
Protestant Irishmen. :. The party
is truly an anti-Catholic party because
a majority of the Immigrants to this
country are probably from Ireland and
the greater part of these are NCatho
lies" " ~
Brownson was a frequent con
tributor to Ave Maria, The Catholic
World, the New York Tablet and
other publications. He also wrote
Conversations on Liberalism and the
Church." and "The American Repub
lie; It's Constitution, Tendencies and
Destinies.'' His last article was con
tributed to the American Catholic
Quarterly Review in. January, 1876
He died in April of the same year in

THE eENTLEsT OF SAINTS.

1t is stated that st. Francis of Sales
converted 1900 Calvinists. He was
then compelled by the Pope to be-
come Coadjutor Bishop of Geneva,
and succeeded to the See in 1902. At
times the exceeding gentleness with
which he received heretics and sin
ners almost scandalized his friends,
and one of them said to him, Francis
de Sales will go to paradise, of course,
but am not so sure of the Bishop
of Geneva; I am almost afraid his
gentleness will play a shrewd turn"
All said the Saint, Il would rather
account to God for. too great gentle.
ness than for too great severity. Is
not God all love? God the Father is
the Father of mercy; God the Son is a
Lamb; God the Holy Ghost is Dove
that is, gentleness itself. And are
you wiser than God?"
