made to the participation of the faith
full in all that is done by their Of
fetal representative. The terms "chal-
ice of salvation and ga sweet odor
for our salvation" clearly indicate that
the contents of the chalice are esti-
mated by the anticipation of the value
they will possess after the words or
conservation have been pronounced.
For 1t is only the chalice of Christ's
saving blood that may effectually be
presented as the purchase price of our
salvation. The SAVIOR of that blood
alone placates the divine Majesty. In
tercession is made not only for the
faithful, but "for the whole world"
Truly the hope of the world is center
ed in the altar of sacrifice. The Vic
tim of the holy sacrifice appeases the
divine wrath and draws down upon all
the blessings and graces of God. The
Apostle of the Gentiles explains this
so graphically when he says: "The
chalice of benediction which we bless,
is it not the Communion of the blood
of Christ" Il Cor. X, 16). This chal-
ice of salvation is, according to st.
John, 'the Precipitation for our sins,
and not for our sins only, but for those
also of the whole world" Q,I,20).
Prayer of Humility.
Before setting the chalice down ON
the altar, the priest makes with it the
sign of the cross, reminding us thereby
IF hn i1anfitx, 0f Lo
the bloody and unbloody one
Bowling in fervent entreaty, the
priest recites the following prayer in
the name of all assembled: 80 Lord,
accept us, animated with a spirit of
humility and contrition of heart; and
grant that this sacrifice we offer in
Thy sight this day may be pleasing to
Thee, o Lord God" Mindful of the
psalmist's assurance, 'a contrite and
humble heart, o God, Thou wilt not
despise," the members of Christ's
mystic body pray that they be made
an acceptable spiritual sacrifice.
Prayer to the Holy Ghost.
Now follows the invocation: "Come,
o Sanctifier, almighty, eternal God,
and bless this sacrifice prepared to
Thy name" Come" implores the
priest. His eyes and hands are raised
heavenward, expressing the earnest de-
sire that the fire of the Holy Ghost
may come down, consume the bread
and wine, and convert them into the
body and blood of Christ ''The Sane
tifier" is properly the title of the
Holy Ghost, since to Him is attributed
the work of dispensing the graces mer-
tied by Christ's sacrifice on the cross.
The Sanctifier, full participant in the
power and infiniteness of the God
head, is invoked to effect the mir
acle of the transubstantiation as He
effected that of the incarnation, be-
cause of their close analogy. Both
mysteries are works of special love.
1t is but proper that both be ascribed
to the Spirit whose particular note is
personal love. -8.
The Lesson Learned.
This, then, explains in a summary
way the prayers and ceremonies of
the offertory of holy Mass. From
it we can learn very much. The
whole oblation ceremony should spur
us on to purge our hearts of sin; to
adorn them with virtues whose radi-
ance will please Jesus in His Euchar
istic Coming to our affairs.

Agnes held out her hand to Ralph.
He touched it reverently.

Then they walked slowly back to

LACK, OF LEADERS.

Is America sowing solely for profits?
Is there an oyer-emphasis in this land
on greatness from a financial stand
point? Irving Bachelor says 50 and
he makes the point that, despite the
fact that We have multiplied our
schools and colleges, our great men
are either dead or very old, says the
Minneapolis Journal. He goes on:
In public life we have no great
outstanding fgures-no one like Web
ster or Calhoun or Clay or Lincoln or
Seward or Sumner or Conkling or
Blaine or Sherman. In journalism
there is no Greeley, no Grady, no Me-
dill, no Pulitzer. What are our au-
thors doing to stir the souls of men
as did Snow Bound and The Psalm of
Life and the Commemoration Ode and
Tom Sawyer and the Scarlet Letter?

WHY is THE CATHOLIC CHURCH
so OPPOSED TO DIVORCE?

1t should rather be asked why are
not the Protestant churches as much
opposed to divorce as the Catholic
Church, because if the Bible be their
authority, they cannot sanction abso-
lutte divorce in any case. Even if st.
Matthew (V, 80 and XIX, 81 author,
lied absolute divorce for the one cause
of unfaithfulness, how about the many
fiimsy reasons which the Protestant
churches condone? asks the Sunday
Visitor.
AS matter of fact, for fifteen hun,
dred years of the Christian era, these
two texts from Matthew were inter-
preted to authorize separation only
where one of the marriage partners
had proved unfaithful, but it was new
er understood that the innocent party
had right to remarry. So holds
three-fourths of Christendom even to-
day. The prohibition contained in
Mark tx, 9-12), Luke (XVI, 49, and
Paul q Cor. VII, 1O-11; Rom. VII, 2
3 is absolute; and Matthew, in the
two texts quoted in favor of separa-
ton, can easily be reconciled with the
other four in which no exception is
suggested.
St. Paul distinctly AYERS that death
alone dissolves the marriage tie, and
Luke says Everyone that putteth
away his wife and marrieth another,
committeth adultery" and declares
that he also committeth adultery who
marrieth her that is put away" Mark
is equally emphatic. He uses the word
"whosoever" where Luke uses the
word everyone" In fact, it is difficult
to understand now anybody can see an
exception permitted by Matthew, be-
cause, while he does justify the put
ting away" of wife for the cause of
fornication, he contends she that shall
marry her that is put away committeth
adultery" Mark and Luke speak of
the man marrying another after put
ting away his wife; but Matthew says
nothing of the man marrying another.
Hence mere separation was in Mat
thew's mind.
The state of New York allows abso-
lutte divorce only for the miscalled
Scriptural reason, yet the latest sta
tistics credit New York state with g.
269 divorces during 1916. Grant one
reason and dissatisfied people will
bring about the condition which will
enable them to become divorced.
It is true that many individuals must
suffer a hardship by being denied the
privilege of remarrying after separa-
ton, but laws are made for the general
good. Every law will work hardship
on some people. If people foreknew
that the marriage they were about to

DIR. La Motto and the Judge were
enjoying their evening cigars.
Ralph took the cigar which DR.. La
Motto offered, but did not smoke. He
was listening to Agnes as she told of
DIR. La Motto finding her; then of the
conversion of the Johnson family.

WILLIAM E. BURCH

Died at his residence near Hughes
vile on Thursday, July 81, at 10
O'Clock a. m, William f. Burch, aged
81 years.
Mr.. Burch was lifelong reSident
of ST. Mary's and during tho III four
score wears of his life made for him
self q place in the esteem and affection
OF all those with whom he came in con-
tact. He was a man OF generous Inn
pulses and exemplified the hospitality
for which Southern Maryland is justly
noted. In such death there is really
no cause for grief. His work is done
and we'll done. To lew men has been
given so great IAN opportunity to
demonstrate honest, clean living for
so long a time, and by few has the ad-
vantage been so successfully utilized.
He Is survived by q widow and four
sons. His pall-beareFs were his six
grand-sons, VIM. Johnson, Andrew,
Harry, Paul, Earl and Alton Burch.
Interment was in st. Mary's cemetery,
Bryantown. To his bereaved family
the BEACON extends its sympathy.
May he rest in peace
