sire buy cards for given sum; num-
bers are called by chance drawing and

ESSENTIALS OF a HAPPY AND
COMMENTED MARRIED LIFE,

A writer in French periodical
gives some sound advise to married
people, pointing out how husband and
wife may live together in amity. He
emphasizes the essentials of a happy
married life; the sense Of duty; for
bearance with each others weakness;
a good understanding between hus-
hand and wife; willingness to give up
something of ones taste and inclina.
tons to make the other happy, to get
along without wounding each others
feelings. "The young wife," he says,
fought not to be too sad or too much
surprised at the absence of some
qualities in her husband which she
expected; she would do better to seek
out the better aspects of the man she
has taken for better or for worse"
The man who seemed to her an angel
in the days of the engagement is the
same man; she saw him less accu-
rately; that's all. Too much arguing
should be avoided in the home. There
are times when silence is golden; and
it is never more precious than when
it closes domestic quarrel or pre-
vents one. To preserve harmony, con-
cessions are necessary Neither part
ner can have always his or her own
way. If one loves staying at home
more than the other, the other ought

aid. Take this, for instance: Not long
ago in a Cape Cod town the Catholics
enlarged their church. When the
process was completed there was need
for more seats. Through some mis-
take, the pews ordered did not arrive
on time: Whereupon the local Ma
sonic lodge, learning of this, offered
to lend, without money or price, sew

pastor to accommodate his people.

day to tell his people about it, speak
ing in the highest terms of the kind
ness and generosity of the non-Cath-
olics who had thus come to the aid
of the congregation.
1t is my firm belief that there ex-
lists great deal more of this spirit
of helpfulness than we are likely to
think, from reading about Ku Klux
Khan and similar activities. Indeed,
it must be so, or society would not
get along at all. 1t is the abnorma al
things that get into the press, but
the daily deeds of kindness and neigh
borliness are passed over without
chronicle or comment.

PROPHETS FROM ABROAD.

1t is often very diyerting (says
America) to watch our Catholics flock
to hear the sermons of a convert
priest, especially if he comes from
abroad, deserving for him the more
eloquent but unromantic prophets in
the pulpits of their own parish church
es. By certain types of Catholics the
convert is always assumed to be of
finer clay than their hereditary CO.
religionists, his social position more
enviable, his books more readable, etc.
Though the converts themselves, as
rule, are the very last to entertain any
sentiment but that of the humblest
gratitude for receiving the gift of
faith, some of those who welcome
them into the Church seem to act as
if she, and not the converts, had won
thereby signal honor and distinction.
1t is, of course, the earnest prayer of
all good Catholics, as it was that of
Our Divine Lord, that every single
member of the human family, from
now until the end of time, should gain
the grace of dying in the true Church.
But God is no respecter of persons.
The redemption of poor slaves soul
cost Him as much as did that of an
emperor. Every new fish, fortunate
enough to be caught in Peters net,
deserves the hearty congratulations of
all Catholics. But we nowhere read
in Holy Writ that the death-bed con-
version of wealthy and distinguish
ed public man gives more joy to the
Angels of God than does that of a
wretched and obscure sinner. where
as the fact that the poor had the Cos
lei preached to them was expressly
cited by Him as the strongest proof
that Our Savior was the Messiah when
the, Baptist's disciples came for His
credentials. "And blessed is he that
is not scandalized" at the Church's
love for the poor
