THE CHRISTIAN FAMILY IS THE
BULWARk OF SOCIETY.

When Archbishop Glennon pointed
out in recent sermon that the pass
ing of the home menaced the national
life of America, he sounded a timely
warning. In placing emphasis on the
Importance of home life, ne reiter-
ated a doctrine as old as the Church
itself-the need of modelling family
life on the lines of the humble home
of Nazareth.
But the singular aact is that the
world, whose present ways lead to
the destruction of the home, recog-
nizes, and always has recognized, the
Importance of the home as the KEY
stone OF the nation. Deprived by self
will of the sustaining grace of a sac
ramental state of matrimony, it has
never been able entirely to deny the
dignity of the married state.
1t has always accorded special
recognition to the married man. It
has granted him certain privileges.
considered him entitled to special
consideration in business affairs and
IN social life.
There was reason, and it is fit
ting that good Catholics, whose boast
is that they are good Americans,
should consider this reason.
The Difference paid to the young
married couple by their neighbors in
the world, is based upon the assump-
ton that they will become neads OF
families-that they will give citizens
to the State as the Catholic husband
and wife gives SONS to serve it and
souls to glorify God. Moreover, as
heads of families they are expect
ed to typify authority, law and
order.
The husband and wife who by their
acts deliberately ignore these obli-
cations, obtain community respect
and consideration under false pre-
lenses.
In these days Of lowered standards
the Catholic home must be beyond
suspicion. To the warnings of mis-
sioners and confessors may be added
the instinct of enlightened patriotism
urging every Catholic husband and
wife to stand proudly before their
fellows, confident in the knowledge
that, in avoiding the wrath of God,
they have fairly won the respect &C.
corded them.

Father was smoking his deep bowled
pipe and he was saying:

I haven't had a chance to run I'D to

THE CORDS OF ADAM.

Through the long, open oblong and
the branches of the huge camphor
tree, Father Neacy could look across
the low gray roofs of his village,
broken by the higher structure of the
Shinto temple, with it's golden cigar
shaped beams, and beyond to the pink
ish haze of myriad cherry blossoms
and the smiling blue plain of the In
land Sea. A cluster of white square
specks brilliant against the western
sun, showed the Homecoming fishing
sampans. And away to the eastward,
where the steep, emerald islands merg-
ed to give landlocked look to the Sea,
was the smudge of smoke of the T.
K. K. liner, that had been abeam a
half an hour ago, the Shinyu Maru,
San Francisco bound. 49,.
Father Neacy sighed contentedly,
and then he opened again the gilt
edged Scriptures he had been reading.
His eyes rested on a verse. He read
it. Then he reread it slowly, as though
it had started a pleasant chain OF
memories. A faint smile ventured
around the corners of his mouth. He
closed the big black book and lay back
in the steamer chair.
Away fell Shimbashi, his Maryknoll
mission village; away fell the high
volcanic peaks of Japan. The still
blue Pacific world, that the fast steam
ing Shinyu Maru would take fifteen
days to crawl across, was spanned in
flash. Up came brown Diamond Head
and the fair bow of Waikiki Beach.
And Father Neacy had a picture of
the Honolulu Cathedral compounded
with it's gray, "Frenchy" statue of Our
Lady, her hair done up" Then he
was on the Pacific again and in a
twinkling up came the jagged Seal
Rocks and the yellow overhanging
Cliff House," it's many windows dazz-
ling in the low sun, and the green
and golden glory of the Gate. A wild,
almost continental leap, with its blur
of smiling California, the frosted
Rockies, the lonely, sealike prairies,
the broad Mississippi, fiat Illinois, and,
plump, he was back in his boyhood
Chicago.
Two decades, three decades dropped
away, and Father Neacy had shrunk
to Genie" and he was standing at a
parlor bay window, looking out at the
iron picket fence. Just beyond, by the
black lamp-post, cab had stopped
The driver, sitting precariously att,

residence, pointed, Gene thought, d.

Out Of the cab got stout man, low
and swarthy, with a curious bag, green
and yellow, in each hand. Then Gene
saw a tiny boy peep timidly out At
shout from the man with the bags, he
gave leap and landed easily behind
the carriage step. After the cabby

One day as good st. Julian
Knelt in his cell, there came
A leper foul, who asked for food,
In Christ's the Savior's name.
The good saint gave him welcom,
word
And opened wide his door;
"Who comes" he said, "in Jesus
name, ...,
May share my slender store"
The leper barred a shapeless face,
Most hideous to see,
And at the saints low table sat,
His honored guest to be.
And Julian gave him bread and meat
And spoke him kind and fair;
While odor of the dread disease
Hung heavy in the air.
And long the leper tarried there;
His words of thanks were few,
While of the viands he partook
AS though his hunger grew.
Yet still the saint in holiness
And patience all divine,
Waited upon his awful guest
And shared his bread and wine.
At last the leper turned to go,
But wheeling quickly, said
Embrace and kiss me in His name
BY whom you gave me bread"
In sweetness and humility
Was given the last embrace,
But at the kiss change divine
Came DER the leper's face!
All glorious and radiant
Became the features wan,
And like the stars for loneliness
The brooding eyes now shone!
A heavenly perfume filled the cell,
And strains of sweet accord;
Then Julian knew the Leper Guest
Was Christ, his dearest Lord!

doorbell, and he was with his father
when he opened the door and admitted
the two. The man spoke strange Eng
lish, ''as if he was feeling his way in
the dark" thought Gene. But the boy,
no taller than the mans hip, looked
at Gene with pleading, oval eyes. At
once those pleading eyes of the boy
fascinated Gene. He followed the
strangers into the green-walled parlor
and sat on the edge of chair, while
his father and the dark man talked
circus and mutual show acquaintances.
Gene saw the boy with the pleading,
slit eyes watching the long-limbed,
wooden monkey that hung from the
beady Japanese curtains, separating
the two parlors, and after while
Gene pointed silently to the trio of
carved monkeys upon the mantle, that
by gesture advertised they saw, heard
and spoke no evil. Gene impersonated
the trio smilingly, but the other boy
did not even smile. Then Gene went
and, stretching, reached down the
brown group. Crossing the carpet, he
put the statuette in this boys hand,
saying:
'Its mine, but I'll let you look at it.
1t came from Japan"
II come from Japan" said the boy
slowly, and then Genes father had
stopped talking to the man and had
said:
"See, Yoshiteru, the kids are friend
ly already"
And both boys sank back onto their
chairs, frozen silent.
Then when the men smoked and
talked again, Gene had whispered:
my names Gene, and what's
yours?'
Genes eyes had opened wide, when
the other had replied:
"Taro, but with the show they call
me Six Dollars You may call me
Six Dollars if you like. And I like
monkeys, don't you, too?"
Later that night Gene learned from
his mother that Yoshiteru and Taro
were to live at the house till spring,
when the Barnum show would go on

mother had just died in hospital, and
Gene should be very kind to him.
Then followed for Gene wonderful
winter. Every day, down in the stone
basement by the warm furnace, the
two spread their mat, and went
through their tumbling; for constant
practice is the price of tumbler's MIN
bleness. Gene used to stand, eyes front,
and watch the tiny boy in the yellow
tights roll up like a porcupine, and
then Yoshiteru, lying on the mat,
would turn six" with his feet Now,
slowly, now dizzily, now throwing him
up and down, like glass globe in the
jet Of fountain. There was one aft
ernoon, when something went wrong
and the yellow ball landed on the cruel
floor. And yet "Six" never whimpered,
though he walked lame for two weeks
after that, and there was no afternoon
practice.
At table Gene used to watch "Six
Dollars" as he would look at his ia.

Gene might hear just a zephyr of a
sigh from the tiny creature at his side.
Then when the green months came,
"Six Dollars" and his father left for
the White Tops, and Gene felt lonely
that spring.
Father Neacy half opened his eyes
and he saw the red temple tori"
through the pines, and he heard faint
ly the eternal booming of temple tom.

other memory was visualizing.
Country folk and their excited chill
dren, in overalls and whites, lined
either side of an Illinois town street.
Gene was sitting alongside of Sheep
the driver, looking down on the easy
reins above the dappled gray quarters
of the four horses that drew the float.
Behind him, so-called "Samurai," black
and golden warriors, grouped under
a swaying red tori" or arch, and at
the forward edge of this group stood
with folded arms little six" in his
blue-spangled tumbling tights. On the
side of the heavy float, in golden let
tiers, was the word Japan"
1857. Bulletin Ramsey Gal II
AS the circus parade numbered over
the rackety wooden bridge, Gene re-
called looking down into the clear
green water, and seeing shiny backed
turtle summing on a rock. He pointed
it out to six" and looked ahead.
Then something clutched at his hip,
as it pitched off the circus wagon and
under the heavy front wheels. The
float rose and bumped down. There
were shouting and screams, and a
breaking of the two parallel lines of
spectators. Sheep" at Genes side,
was straining at the reins, that had
suddenly become steel bars running
out over the dapple gray backs.
When they lifted little "Six" he was
just breathing, and Gene suddenly re-
Numbering, looked at the smooth Gid
ing water, showing at the bridge side.
Then he was dashing down the bank
and he returned with an old tin can
filed with water. Weighing through
the crowd he tugged at the elbow of
the pointed bearded stranger, who was
bending and feeling the crushed little
figure.

his eyes and giving that zephyr of a
