flour" (found in -four weeks and in
-four" thousand years. were the very
heart of the symbolism. On the one
hand, the number of millenniums pre-
oeding Christ is variously estimated
by Catholic scholars. The too pre-
else figures Of "4,004 years." which we
often find given, is only one COM
putation or guess, despite its appear
ance of minute accuracy, and is most
probably erroneous. Other estimates
run up into many more thousands
of years. On the other hand, the
Church in olden times assigned five
weeks to this season, and even made
the period one Of forty days. perhaps
in imitation of the Lenten season.
In the eleventh century, Pope st.
Gregory reduced the Sundays to four,
and this prescription continues to the
present time. The detailed symbolism
fails, therefore, in two respects; first,
in assuming just four millenniums;
secondly, in assuming that the Church
always assigned just four weeks to
Advent.
The first of these four Sundays is
the one which falls nearest to the
feast of st. Andrew the Apostle Nov
ember 30) and its date may accord
ingly be-as in the present year-as
early as November q, giving us four
complete weeks, or twenty-eigllt days,
before Christmas; or it may be as
late as December 3, in which case we
should have only twenty-one days.
Always, however, there will be four
Sundays in Advent.
\ 1t is a season of penitence. AS in
Lent, the Church, except on feasts,
uses violet vestments; omits the re

Gloria in EAcelsis from the Mass; for

riage, the playing of the church-organ
at liturgical functions, the decking of
the altar with flowers. On the third
Sunday, styled Gaudete ("Reioice")
however, rose vestments may be used,
the organ may be played, and flowers
may be placed on the altar. In many
dioceses of the United States, the Fri
days used to be fast days, but are no
longer so. The only fast days in AID
vent now are the Ember Days and
the vigil of Christmas.
1t is also a season of commemora-
tive longing for the coming of Christ.
We are reminded daily of this in the
Divine Office by the verse at Prime,
"Qui yenturus es in mundum' ("Who
art to come into the worldly. This
longing is most beautifully expressed
in the celebrated 20 Antiphons" to
the Magnifcat which are sung sever.
ally on the seven days preceding the
vigil of Christmas. All begin with
the exclamation, CO." The initials of
the second words, taken in reversed
order (Thus: Emmanuel, Rex, Oriens,
Claws, Radix, Adonai, Sapientia)
give use an acrostic ERO CRAS ('I
shall be-or come-tomorrow") which
scholars think may have some value
in solving certain historical and liter.
airy problems. Read the article on
the O Antiphons in the Catholic En-
encyclopedia.

/ The battle was raging across the
valley beyond the little town of Do
yer, and the Colonel was in the midst
of it, and Robert, who was never far
off when his father was under fire,
was in the midst of it, too. The men
looked upon him as only a boy, though
he went with the regiment in all its
marches and lived with it in all it's
Fencampments and many times he
could be seen close to the Colonel, in
the thick of the fight, until the Colonel
would give peremptory orders to the
young soldier to withdraw to the rear,

"You are all right, Bob" said Pri-
waite Randall, one of the men for whom
Robert had great respect. The two
were standing together in the rear
just then, but Robert had made him
self rather CONSPICUOUS lately in the
heat of the fight, and Randall was
proud of him. But the boy did not
notice his friends approving remark;
he was watching his father with eyes
of love.

Robert had spurred his horse and was

Randall was not far behind. The en-

firing grew fast and hot; the battle
waged fiercely on both sides.

COURAGE UNDER FIRE.

What was that, grandmother"
asked little Jack as he stood at the
open easement window of his grand
mothers cottage looking down the
crooked street of the little town of
Dover that was tucked away amid the
foothills of the Blue Ridge, but not
out of hearing Of the cannonade Of
the big guns, and almost of the battle
cries that rent the air of northern Vir-
ginia in 1860.
ut was an explosion, child; God
be praised if your father still lives,
and our Robert" and old Mother
Dering sank on her knees to pray God
to spare her own.
Jack looked wistfully through the
basement; his 10 years kept him from
the battle front, but they could not
keep down the high spirit that old
Pete Martin had said was part Of
every Dering that ever breathed, just
the same as his hands and his legs, y
and Peter Martin had known the Der
ings for five generations back.
Robert has gone" thought Jack.
why couldn't he?" And he wished. as
hard as he could that he might sud-
denly be as big as Robert.
Yes, Robert had gone and his grand
mother had buried her own grief to
help her grandson with his hearts
desire. She had loved and mothered
the two little orphans since their own
mother had died, and their father had
been called to the front to give his
life, if need be, for his country, and
from that day, Robert, the older boy,
longed to follow his father. 1t was no
more than the old woman had ex-
pected; she knew the boys love for
his father; she knew what he had
suffered from the day that the IA
Ether had hidden them farewell with
the parting words to the son as he
looked into the brave young face:
LIT is our country, Robert, in life or
DEATH and had turned away and left
Robert standing there, his heart too
full to answer.
The. days passed into months, the
boy had tried bravely and earnestly
| to take up the threads where his
father had left them, until he could
stand it no longer; he was 16, and
there were lads as young as that al
ready wearing the uniform, and his
fathers words were always present to
his mind, 1T is our country, in life or
DEATH"
Il must go, grandmother" he had
finally said to her. e have been ly-
ing awake night after night think
ing it all over; they will accept me
know, and want to enlist"
That was all; but his grandmother
knew that she was powerless to hold
him, so Robert had. enlisted, and the
old lady's heart was near breaking.
And so it was that little Jack had
so often seen her on her knees as
Fshe was today, asking God to keep
her Robert and his father safe. when
1.-THE distant sound of cannonading
reached her ears.

and "the mystery Of faith" were add
ed by the Church to the Biblical ac-
count of the Last Supper. The word
"chalice" here means the chalice with
the wine contained in it or the wine
contained in the chalice. Thus, as at
the conservation of the bread, it was
said that Jesus took the bread into
His hands, so now, by saying that Je-
sus took the chalice, it is meant that
Jesus took the wine. The chalice IL
called excellent" because of the pre-
cious blood of Christ. which it will
soon contain. "This is the chalice. of
my blood" means what is contained
in this chalice under the appearance
of wine is my blood" 1t is "MY
blood of the new and eternal tesla
ment" means this is my blood. by
which is ratified the new and eternal
testament promised of yore by God
through the prophets" As the Old
Testament. which was a figure of the
New, was confirmed by the blood of
victims sprinkled by Moses saying,
This is the blood Of the covenant
which the Lord hath made with you,''
(Exod. xiv, 81, so likewise, the New
Testament was sanctioned by the
blood of Christ, saying, This is My
blood of the New Testament" Matt.
XVI, %: HEIR. tx, 1920. The New
Testament is called eternal because
no other testament is to succeed it,
as it succeeded the old, but the New
Testament is to last forever. '"The
mystery of faith" means that the
presence of Christ in the blessed sac.
rament and our redemption by the
blood of Christ. are truths we cannot
fully understand, but which we must
accept on faith, on the authority of
Christ, the Goldman.
The chalice.
Which shall be shed for you and
for many" These words mean that
the blood of Christ shall be shed for
the apostles present with the Lord at
the table and for many Others. The
many in contrast with the one vic
tim, are all men, because the blood of
Christ was really shed for all. If
some do not benefit by the shedding
of His blood, they are to blame, not
Christ, Who died for all that He might
save all. Unto the remission of
SINS" The primary purpose of the
death of Christ was the remission of
sins, for, unless we first obtain a re.
mission of our sins, we, can in no way
become justified, adopted children OF
God and heirs of the kingdom of heav-
en-.
After the consecrating words have
been pronounced, the priest again puts
the chalice on the corporal, saving:
As often as you do these things, We
shall do them in remembrance of Me"
This means that ''as often as you do
these things, as often as you change
the bread and wine into My body and
blood, you shall do them in remem.
brance of Me, in remembrance of INV
dying for YOU" This Interpretation
harmonizes with the words of st. Paul,
"As often as you shall eat this bread,
and drink the chalice, you shall show
the death of the Lord until He come. u
q Cor. XII. 26.) After having uttered
these words, the priest proceeds to the
elevation of the chalice after the same
manner as that of the host. Whilst
the priest is raising the chalice, raise
your eyes to it and say again with St
Thomas, my Lord and my God" OF
pray with the Church, saying, eve
therefore beseech Thee to succor Thy
servants redeemed by Thy precious
blood"

THE MEANING OF ADVENT.

Advent means coming" In this
season we prepare, through prayer
and penitence, for the commemorative
coming of Christ into the world,
writes Mgr. Henry.
Catechisms and books of piety
sometimes tell us that the four weeks
usually incomplete weeks of Adj
vent synbolize the four thousand
years from Adam to Our Lord. The
liturgy of Advent gives no basis for
this suggestion, although it is popu-
larly accepted and withal may have
some value as recalling the long cen
turtles during which mankind hoped
and prayed for a redeemer. But we
should not push the symbolism too
much into detail, as though the word

Colonel Dering gave orders to his
men to dismount, and as he sprung
from his own horse, bullet whizzed
past him; Robert reeled and stagger-
ed, but throwing his arm over his
horses neck and mastering what
strength he could, he called out with
a weakened voice, 'I'll hold your
horse, sir" The Colonel heard the
faint words, but in the gathering
denseness of powder and smoke, he
did not see that it was the pale face
of his own son that pressed so close
behind him. But Private Randall both
saw and heard.

said.
Il know l am, Randall, but I can
hold the reins when am dead" was
the brave reply. Then, stand by the
Colonel, Randall" he added.
There was time for no more. Ran
dali placed the bride in the boys
hand and went forward. Robert
twisted the reins tightly around his
wrist, and with moan of anguish,
sank unconscious to the ground. How
long he lay there he did not know,
but the sun was far in the west when
he woke again to consciousness.
The fight was over, and the battle
field was strewn with dead and dying
soldiers. The Colonel gazed sadly
around him.
Where is my horse?" he asked
finally, of young private standing
nearby.
The soldier saluted. 'He is yonder,
sir, by the tree; shall / bring him? ?"

tor from the waiting ambulance told
me as pushed my way through the
.inquisitive people, gathered about the
PROSTATE form Of the, injured young
truck driver. Look at the Sacred
Heart badge on his coat"
While the curious but silent crowd
moved back respectfully, knelt beside
the dying man and whispered into his
ear fervent act Of contrition. His
eyes opened; his hands moved slowly
to his breast; his lips tried feebly to
repeat my words. Then, his eyes
closed and pronounced over him the
sacred words of absoluticn.
Every Catholic should wear some
sign of our Holy Faith. Even non
Catholic doctors and nurses in the ac.
cident wards of our great hospitals
know that the seapular or the Sacred
Heart badge means: Call a Catholic

we fellows heard him say that he
would hold it if he was dying-he is
still there, SIR"
The Colonel smiled. ct was, in
deed, brave thing; take me to him."
he said.
The form of the young boy lay rest
ing on the ground close to the big
gray horse, the bride reins bound
firmly around his hand. Randall, who
had come to him as soon as the fir
ing ceased, had made pillow of his
coat, and placing it carefully under
the boys head, raised him slightly
from the ground. The Colonel APP
preached and gazed sadly for mo-
ment upon the almost 1ifeless form.
Suddenly an expression of terror came
it phantom? He stopped over the
boys body and peered into the still
young face-the color left his own.
30 Cod" he cried, falling on his knee
beside him, my son, my Robert, was
it your" he moaned. But the boy lay
still as death. Robert" he called
again. A faint expression of pain
spread over the pale features. Speak
to me, Robert, my SON."
The dying boy opened his eyes; this
last cry seemed to awaken him.
Father" he whispered. The Col
onel bent lower to catch the dying
words, For our country-in, life and
DEATH" The broken words came faint
lily, but the suffering had ceased. A
smile of love lit the dying eyes, And
for you," he gasped. His head sank
back-the boy was dead.
Great sobs of anguish shook the
Colonel's frame. Randall gently I'M
wound the rein from the firm grasp
f of the dead boys hand, and placing
Fit tenderly across his breast, walked
Esilently away.
The setting sun lit the battlefield
with it's last rays, when the Colonel
rested the boy softly on the fallen
leaves.
The story had gone the rounds OF
the men, and when taps sounded that
autumn evening through the Southern
camp, every head was barred and bow
ed in token of respect for the brave
boy who had served his father and
his country in life and in death.
