Black and Death.

Black is the opposite of white
and the very absence of all color. 1t
is consequently symbolic of darkness,
which is the absence of light, of death,
which is the absence of life, and of
sorrow, which is the absence of joy.
Black vestments are fittingly used
on Good Friday and in Masses for the
dead. On Good Friday black is used
because on that day is commemorated
the death of Jesus Christ, the Son OF
God, the Light and the Life of the
world, at whose passing all nature
mourned. In Masses for the dead and
at funerals black vestments are worn
because the Church mourns her de
parted children, and prays that
cleansed of every defilement they may
have contracted through human
frailty, they may soon be admitted tt
eternal life, where all is light AND
rest and peace.
The Church then, dear brethren
has two purposes in the use Of the
many-colored vestments. The first is
to captivate the senses, to impress
them with the external beauty of hel
services that she may lead the mind
and heart to an appreciation of the
invisible things that these garments
symbolic. She is indeed the Queer

is within" Secondly, the Church
would assist us to arouse within oul
souls those sentiments of holy joy, O

Of Christian mourning, which the

the vestments symbolic. While you
eyes behold the splendor of the
Church's raiment, lift up your hearts
to the contemplation of the uncreatet
beauty of God, and stir up within
them the sentiments which art
symbolized by the various colors.

THE CHILDREN'S HOUR.
DREAMING.

From her bedroom window Jean sat
staring into the garden below. It had
been hot summers day, and she was
tired out with her various tasks, as
she was the only daughter of the Muir
ply family and the household duties
were dependent upon her.
She finally fled from the noisy kit
chen-in fact, from the whole world
itself Into the cool security of her
own room.
This room of Jeans, small and bare
though it was, was her only haven
of refuge at all these times. It was
here only that she dare dream her
dreams, commonly speaking, close her
eyes and ears to world all out of
tune with the songs Of her own soul.
All day long she had been working
at the hated tasks, such as buttermak-
ing, busting, darning and hundred
and one things mothers can find for
their daughters to do. But Jean, with
her sweet thoughts, tried to do them
with smile on her face.
Jeans head ached from the noon
day heat.
Jean! Jean!" trilled her mothers
voice through the hush of the after
noon Come down here and fix your
fathers SUPPER"
The slender form of the girl at the
window never moved nor indicated in
any way that she had heard the voice
calling.
Her dark eyes were gazing into
space, into some space which held
other worlds, other people, other
mountains than these accustomed ones
before her eyes, into some glorious
world where happy people accomplish
wonderful deeds, every hour, even as
Jean longed to do herself.
This dream of jeans was full of
hard, continuous work, and this was
the golden hour of the day when she
stole away from her unattractve sur.
roundings to keep in her mind her
dream-friends beyond the clouds.
Soothed by her thoughts she fell
into a deep sleep, curled up as she
was, with her head bowed on the over.

THE BEST POLICY.

Miss Caxton came up the shallow
steps that led to the open door Of the
old, red-brick house with its climbing
roses peeping IN at the many windows,
with an appearance not in keeping
with the popular conception of girl,
lowered with health and beauty,
whose engagement to a satisfactory
young man was only twenty-four
hours old.
She laid her hat and gardening
gloves on a table in the panelled hall,
and passed into a lsmall, cheerful
room, where the lady who had been
her governess sat placidly waiting her
coming. Miss Wilton laid down her
knitting, and, after a quick glance at

THE HOLY THORN AT, ANDRIA
ITALY.

The holy thorn preserved at Andria,
Italy, has on various occasions become
stained with blood when Good Friday
comedies with the 25th of March,
says the Irish Catholic. This Thorn is
believed to have been taken from the
crown which encircled the sacred brow
of Our Divine Lord. The Thorn is
about four fingers in length, and is of
cinder color. 1t has very sharp
point, and is preserved in handsome
reliquary which dates from 1888. The
magnificent beauty of this reliquary
tells of the love and veneration of the
people of Andria for this valued relic
which it encases. Some ancient Latin
verses inscribed on the reliquary con-
tanning the Holy Thorn describe the
miracle as follows: This is one of the
large thorns of the crown with which
cruel hands pierced the most merciful
brow of Jesus. When Good Friday
and the 25th of March coincide Gas
our fathers have affirmed orally
this thorn, always stained with blood,
then appears-oh, marvel!-as if it
| were bleeding"
In connection with this wondrous
fact, the "Osservatore Romano has
published information received from
Andria stating that the miracle has
again taken place this year in the
presence of a large number of people
and of the Medical Commission. The
emotion and joy in the town are
simply indescribable. There were
many Irish amongst those present
The manifestation of the miracle was
followed by an imposing manifesto
ton of faith. The entire town, with
several Bishops and the members Of
the three chapters, took part in the
procession of the Holy Thorn through
the town. The hymn, moi Vogliam,
was chanted by the clergy.
His Holiness, Pope Benedict XIV
sent telegram to the Bishop worde6
as follows:

Violet or purple is combination of
blue and red. Blue is the color of
depression. 1t, therefore, symbolizes
the humiliation which comes from the
consciousness of sin. When the red
is added to it, it takes on a brighter
hue. The red, therefore, symbolizes
the ray OF divine grace, which, pene-
trating our natural sorrow, raises it to
the heights of Christian penance.
Hence violet. blending the blue and
the red, signifies mot the sorrow of
the world that worketh death, but the
sorrow according to God that worketn
penance steadfast unto salvation. =
Gil Cor. z, 10). Violet, therefore, is
fittingly used during the penitential
seasons of Advent and Lent. II

PASTORS AND GOSSIP.

Very few of us in this critical day
are free~ from the slight propensity
to what is called gossip, wherefore the
following little story may teach a
necessary lesson:

famous old cloister of Ottobeuren a
very dear old priest. His name was
Father Magnus, and he was the ia.

incapable of speaking severely to any

One day he started to go to the

knew her as ,one Of the villagers and

COMMUNICATION WITH THE
DEAD.

When st. Augustine fully realized
that his mother was indeed dead. he
shed bitter tears for her who had
shed so many for him. She was ever
present in his memory, and daily he
remembered her at the altar. When
some one spoke of the dead return
ing he would say: "Ah, the dead dc
not return, for were it possible to dc
so, she would come back to me who
could not live away from me, and
who never left me in all my wander
ings. God forbid that in the higher
state of existence she should cease
to love, or that she SHOULD not if she
could, come to console me when

In the bright celestial choirs;
Blessed by little children singing
Hymns of thanks and fond desires;
Gracious with grace supernal,
Lovely as morn in May,
With grace that is eternal,
This the name you bear today.
