BAPTIZED IN ExTREMls

The following was sent to the
Antidote for publication by R. M
L.. a young lady, who is an Israelite
by birth, a Catholic by conversion.
1t was in the East end of London
A young woman of Our Lords race lay
very i'll. She was in the spring time
of her life, it is true, yet she fel. that
her end was approaching. Calling the
Sister who was tending her so kindly
she said: Sister, want to be a Chris
tain at once; will you baptize me?'
The Sister astonished at this un
expected and sudden request, gently
replied: This is very sudden, we
must think of it and speak together
first before we undertake such q
solemn step. What makes you wish
to become a Christian"
1T is no sudden idea," the sick one
responded. For when l was a child
one of my little friends was Cath
Ollie and taking me to Church with
her. she told me she prayed for me
to enter the Church. always felt
that her prayer would one day be
answered" :. :"
81 will explain our beliefs to you
and bring priest, DEAR" the Sister
said joyfully.
mo, no, it will be too late," repli
ed the Jewish patient and then she
added: VIII it not be enough te
say. 20 Jesus, I believe that You
have died for me-"
NO, dear" the Sister made answer
cit is better to wait for the priest tt
baptize YOU
g, But there is no time. You mus,
baptize me, Sister" -
Although her end did not seem sc
near, seeing her eagerness fol
Baptism, the Sister poured over hel
head the Regenerating Waters. "
The Sister then left her patient
and returning an half hour later fount
her dead.

THE PRINTER.

The printer sits at his machine
For many hours each day.
And, with philosophy serene, i.
Sees time go on his way. :,
He reads the dog fights and tho teas,
The weddings and the wakes,
The doings here and over the seas,
The triumphs and mistakes. ra
The science of the universe,
The Drawing Of the street,
The reckless :financier's reverse.
The petty pilferers cheat. -.
The earnest thought, the flirpant joke,
The plash Of sorrows tear,
The merriment of careless folk,
The sermon and the sheer.
With ne'er smile and ne'er q fruwn,
A man of duty grim,
For each no puts his record down,
They're all the same to him.
What luck 1t Is to view the earth :.
AS he surveys 1t there,
And let things go for what they're
worth,
Unmoved by selfish care!

LOVE-.

S. To love is to wish well to. 1t i'm
plies a sincere interior act of will; ;
external manifestation of it as occa-
sion offers; and an actual bestowaI
Of benefits, when opportunity and
need arise. Such is the love we owe
to parents; the love of which ST. John
writes in his first Epistle, when he
says, my children, let US not love
in word; neither with the tongue. but
in truth and in deed" / It is not a
mere sentiment or feeling with which
love is so often COMPOUNDED, .independ.
ent of our choice, for. which we can
frequently assign no; satisfactory mo
tive or explanation. It is an exercise
of our free-will, for reasons which are
apprehended as sufficient; and which,
in the case of parents, are sufficient,
even though the feeling or attraction,
at times called love, be difficult to
arouse, perhaps impossible Parents
are not always such as to excite and
secure a sentiment or affection; the
influence they exercise may tend to
kill or deaden it but we can still. love
such parents, in the sense of the Com.
mandment; I'VE can wish them well
however unattractive. they may be.
We are to love our parents, then
firstly, because God loves them
wishes them all manner of good things
natural and supernatural, and calls on
MS to love them. We are to love them
for Gods sake; the highest and pur
est love. We are to love them also
for their own; in part requital for the
many and great blessings we have re
ceived from them. Repay in full we
never can; even though we should lay
down life itself for them. And this
love we may never renounce. What
ever a parents faults may be, how.
ever little entitled he may become to
reverence or obedience or respect, he
can never destroy the foundation on
which the child's duty of love is based
the gift of being, which he has be
slowed. Hence, too, when children
go out from the parents home, and
pass from under their authority, the
claim to love, the. duty of loving, per
sist unchanged. Hence, finally. the OBJ
legation, at all times, under all cir
cumstances, to render fitting assist
ance, in a parents need.

1t was dark within the room, but John
struck match and lit the lamp on
the table. The priest turned and saw
on the bed the aged woman, breath
ing heavily and moaning.
Il think she's had shock" he said.
You'd better go for the DOCTOR"
Father Hooley sat down by the bed
side and waited. She seemed uncon-
scious, and her eyes were closed. He
leaned over her and spoke loudly:
THE priest is here. Do you hear me ?
The priest"
Her eyes opened and she looked at
him. She tried to rise, but she was
too weak. Thank God" she whis-
peder, "the priest. knew that Jimmy
would not let me die without him.
The priest heard her confession,
gave her Viaticum and anointed her.
The poor souls thanksgiving was one
great ''Te Deum" that God had not
let her die without the Sacraments.
She had felt the attack coming early
in the night and was unable to get up,
and so she pounded on the wall with
all her strength trying to attract atten-
ton, until she became unconscious.
Gasping for breath, and growing Wis
IDLY weaker, she asked.

reward him"
"a young lad" answered the priest,
and he described the boy who gave
the call. Her eyes turned from his

was positively uncanny. that fixed
stare, and the priest turned, almost
expecting to see somebody. His eye
lit on an old-fashioned crayon drawing
of young boy.
"Why, there's the lad that came for
me-" he cried.
"My boy, my darling Jimmy" the
old lady was talking to herself, halt

years, and I'm going to meet him.
The priest turned again, amazed
1t was the boy. He would swear to
it-but no, the cruel diagonal scar
that had showed in the light was
missing. He leaned over the old
woman and said: "He had a scar on
his forehead"
She did not appear to hear, but kept
talking and talking, and finally the
priest made out what she was repeat

Bruised to death, they brought
home my beautiful boy-his forehead
torn by the cruel car-and on the day
of his first Communion"
The priest listened, spell bound
while she kept whispering to herself
as If it were some story she had told
herself a thousand times. She was
now altogether unconscious of the
priests presence.
"And asked him." she droned, land
what did you pray for on your first
Communion day-for those prayers
are always heard. And he says to

A few seconds later the door was
opened, the lights were put on, and
the gruff voice, now changed to a
very respectful one, said:

the trouble. Father Hooley was in
the midst Of his explanation when the
good woman of the house appeared
apologizing for her appearance They
were both as mystified as the priest
at the strange sick call, and they were
positive that they had not called him
and that there was no one sick in the
house.
How unfortunate" thought the
priest, that the lad did not wait for
me-"

threshold.

woman, there's old Mrs. Donohue

told the story that he had not walked
far away from the open door on the
roof but had remained waiting and
listening for the call from-he did not
know where.
He did not wait long. He heard
the bell ring out sharply in the still
ness Of the night, and going to his
room, he called down the speaking
tube: "Wi1l be down directly" He
did not even ask what the trouble
was, for he knew that someone was
calling him. Taking his oils. ritual
and stole, he hurried down the stairs,
switched on the electric light and
opened the door.
A young boy, about Ia years old, he
thought, stepped across the threshold.
He had a sweet and innocent face,
but the priest noticed in the light a
great scar running diagonally across
the forehead, disfiguring what other
wise would have been beautiful coun-
tenance.
Whats the trouble, sonny?' asked
the priest.

church and went up to the altar He
was accustomed, to do this as night
calls were common enough, but he
had never quite gotten over the thrill
he always experienced at seeing the

he was gone. Evidently in his excite
