firmed by archaeological discoveries,
The nature of which had for centuries
not been so much as dreamed Of.
We have a science of apologetics,
which proves that no natural cause
can explain the vast, overwhelming
conquests of Christianity; that it is i'm
possible to attribute to fanaticism the
bloody testimony of the martyrs, slain,
not for theories or systems, but for. "a
fact, the divine fact of the redeeming
death and resurrection OF God made
man; that the imperishable life OF the
Church cannot be explained except by
the supernatural assistance of God,
who promised her immortality. In a
word, we came to see, through this
science, that the living fact of Christ's
existence as the Incarnate Word of
God persists in spite of all opposition
and resistance, and with it all the
truths of Christianity.
And still, all this ensemble OF proofs
does not cause faith, as we were taught
to distinguish. It's efficacy reaches to
the extent of a rational, amply ground
ed conviction which but prepares the
soul for the great gift of God. 1t but
proclaims the fact to a rightly dispos-
ed mind that God has spoken-a con-
clusion whose light is as of the dawn,
ushering in the glorious, full orbed sun
of divine revelation.

We bowed low in humble, trustful &C

Thence forward we lived our super.

Gods speaking. 1t was possible for
us to realize that our God, in essential
necessary possession of all truth by
the pure radiance of His infinitely
holy essence, and pouring into all
truth the unfathomable oceans OF
His infinite love, can neither de-
ceive nor be deceived. We had
our Faith increased. If there is
life and energy in it today, it is the
grace of God, tremendously enlarging
every power of our soul, rounding out

urging us to believe in God the Father

THE FAITH IN THE HOLY LAND

Secular papers have been describ-

existing in the Holy Lands and Sister
Josephine, who has been fifty years
in Jerusalem, adds her testimony to
the general story that the Church had
never so insecure position there as
now. She says:
"The Catholic Faith in the Holy
Land stands in the greatest danger.
Our foundations are so poor that they
can hardly be continued and are
threatened on all sides by Protestant
works that with plenty of money are
crowding the Catholic institutions with
the aim of replacing them if possible.
Our schools are menaced in par
ticular manner and should have inn

schools, newly built with every mod

A HOPE AND A PRAYER.

The following poem was written by
Very Rev. James E. Coyle, Birming-
ham, Ala, who was killed recently by
a Methodist minister:
Is this, dear Lord, this CLEAN of light
That brightens up the dull dark sky,
Is this the end of Ireland's night,
Is the long-dreamedof day-dawn
nigh?
Shall end forever Erin's woe?
Shall all her future see glad years
Shall she at last the harvest know
Of all her blood, of all her tears?
o God! deep sorrow did she sup
That long, long night of sorrows
pail,
Drained to the dregs the bitter cup,
Drank to the dregs the draught of
gall.
Yet, slaughtered though her children
lay,
Her courage, faith, trust, did not
fail;
She sensed the Dawning Of the Day
Serene and calm; her soul was Gael
Gael, with the Gaelic hope and trust
She looked to God with streaming
eyes,
In knowledge that her God was just
And that her day-dawn must arise
So all the night she carried on
The fight in hope, nor ceased to pray
That night might pass and day might
dawn,
And freedom come in Gods own way
And now, Gear Lord, there is gleam
The darkness lessons; can it be
That realized will be the dream
That breaks in dawn of liberty?
God grant it; yet if Englands might
That light shall quench and night
falls drear,
And still be waged the centuried
fight;
God, grant her grace to persevere.
