FOG MAKES DRIVING DANGER
OILS

Even those who have imbibed Christ
mas spirits too freely have had a good
abb for landing in strange places the
past few nights because Of dense fogs.
The famous London fogs have nothing
on those which have lowered over this
community and made motoring during
the day or night dangerous. So thick
have been the clouds, machine lights
only seemed to intensity the confusion
50 that not few cars have been
brought to an abrupt stop against
buildings or other distractions.
The usual holiday travel from house
to house has been greatly curtailed
by the unfavorable weather.

BROTHER DEC GRATlAs.

Over three hundred years ago there
was a humble Capuchin lay-Brother,
Felix of Cantalice, who spent his days
in Rome begging aims and food for
his monastery. He was known by the
little children as Brother Dec Graf,
ias,'' because that prayer was ever on
his lips. He loved to see the little
ones at play in the street, and when
he saw them merry and happy he
raised his eyes to heaven and thanked
God for their innocent enjoyment.
When aims were given him his reply
invariably was "Deo Gratias!" He
was of lowly stock, and had for many
years worked on his. parents farm at
the foot of the Apennines, and there
he learned to love the beauties of ma
ture; the fresh spring flowers, the
green trees, the blue OF the heavens
These sights throughout all the rest
of his life raised his heart to the God
of nature, and he murmured reyer
emily when he saw them: Dec
Gratiasi"
Soon after his profession as Q Capu
chin In 1916. he was appointed to &c

A FORGOTTEN DUTY.

Among Christian duties that are
less frequently than is advisable
brought to the notice of ordinary
Catholics. there is one which, while
rather OF negligible concern to the
poor, is of very practical import to
the rich. Bishop Drumm recently en-
phasized this duty in the following
fortnight statement:
Every Catholic man or woman who
makes will ought to leave something
proportional to the estate to build up
| the living Church-for a college, the
priesthood, missions, or the orphans.
Otherwise they are not dealing hon

EARLY MARRIAGES LIKELY TIC
PROVE A BLESSING TO
YOUNG MEN.

The sooner a young man meets the
girl he respects and loves, and mar
ries her, the better, generally speak
ing, says Father Martin J. Scott, S. j.
An early marriage well made is a
great blessing to a young man. But
never keep constant company with a
girl whom you do not hope to marry.
1t is wrong for many reasons.
First of all, it is not fair to a good
girl; and that is the only kind of girl
you will associate with, I know 1t
gives her false hopes and keeps her
from other prospects. Suppose some
one should act thus with your sister!
In the second place, company keeping
is dangerous unless it is inspired by
the reverence and true love which
leads to marriage. Protracted COM
pany keeping is the source of great
evils. If, after honorable association
with a girl for reasonable time, you
realize she will not make you good
lifes companion, cease your atten-
tions to her Otherwise you raise ex-
pectations of marriage in her, and
YOU incur, moreover, the danger of
undue familiarity by your long drawn,
out company keeping.
Look for something more than
looks in the girl whom you hope to
make your wife Observe her traits,
her disposition, and, above all, her
normal and ordinary conduct. When
you meet a girl who conforms to your
character and whose love you may
win, the sooner you marry her the
better.
Marriage steadies a young man.
gives him ambition, and removes him
from the temptations which beset the
path of the average youth. Unless
you have family obligations which
stand in the way of marriage or in
tend to embrace life which requires
celibacy, your normal career will be
safeguarded by a good marriage.

Lady, who with tender word
Didst keep the house of Christ the

Before the Living Wheat and Vine,
Reverently didst make the bed
Whereon was laid the holy Head
That such a cruel pillow prest

About my labors to and fro.
Speed the wheel and speed the loom
Guide the needle and the broom,

Make my cheese, come foamy white,
Yellow may my butter be

Homely though my tasks and small,

SISTER CURED OF TUBERCULOSIS

Inourishment but milk and soft food.
In 1919 the symptoms became worse,
and the intestines ceased to function.
An operation for appendicitis was
performed at the hospital at Laval on
May 4, 1919. Both the Laval surgeon
and the doctor called in consultation
from Mayenne told the nun who ac-
companied the patient that Sister
Marie Gertrude was suffering from a
serious case of tuberculosis of the in
testines, that her condition was very
grave and a cure very improbable.

The easy roads are crowded;
And the level roads are damned,
The pleasant little rivers
With the drifting folks are crammed
But off yonder where it's rocky,
Where you get a better view,
You will find the ranks are thinning
And the travellers are few.
Where the going's smooth and pleas

You will always find the throng,
For the many, more's the pity,
Seem to like to drift along.

And the task that's hard to do
In the end result in glory

founded in 1877 by Father Bonald, an
Oblate Father, who received the hospi-
tally of the Hudson Bay Company till
he was able to build modest habita-

alone in holy poverty. He travelled
by canoe in summer and in winter
used a dog team. He saw the Indians
of Lake Pelican, Churchill and Fort

There are now about six hundred and
