BISHOPS DESCRIPTION OF
CATHOLIC HOME.

Bishop Kelley, in a recent pastoral
letter, describes a true Catholic home.
How comparatively few are the Cath
Ollie homes that correspond to his de-
scription! He says:
What makes a home Catholic
one? 1t is not merely the fact that all
are Catholics, because, unfortunately,
there are homes where only Catholics
are found, and very decidedly they are
not Catholic homes. I should expect
to find in Catholic home these
things: Catholic pictures of the Sa-
cred Heart, our Blessed Lady, and
some OF the saints; Catholic papers
and books on the table, showing evil
dence that they are read; conversation
on Catholic topics at table and in the
living room; rosaries and scapulars
worn by all; attendance at Sunday
Mass; frequent approach to the sacra-
ments. A peep in the nursery would
find the little children at mothers
knees saying their night and morning
prayers; night and morning prayers
reVerently said by all; the sound OF
the Angelus bell recognized; firm
conviction on the part of all the chill
dren that they had the best mother
and the best home in the world; manly
boys, and womanly girls, all desiring
to help mother in any way they could:
loving Difference to the words of IA
Their and mother, and happy union in
the family life.''
