ary Is. last. she gave the firm an order
to purchase 500 shares of Mexican
Petroleum stock at s114.25 a share. and
500 shares of the same stock at S114.37 "a

CHURCH FLoURisHEs IN PERSIA.

The work done by the various re-
ligious congregations of men and
women in Persia, especially along
educational lines, has elected much
favorable comment from French jour-
nails. The larger number of mission
aries laboring in this far field are of
French origin.
About twelve years ago Fathers of
the Lazarist Congregation opened the
College of st. Louis at Teheran, in
reality a superior primary school. So
phenomenal has it's growth been dur
ing this time that the pupils now num-
Der three hundred. Two sons of the
Prime Minister have been enrolled
among them, and such is the rating
Of the school in Persia that the gov
eminent has decreed an annual grant
for>its maintenance.
Orphanages and schools also exist
in fourishing condition in various
cities throughout the country. The
Daughters of Charity are doing noble
and Jealous work in rescuing and
preserving abandoned children, the
same time conducting classes for Per-
sian and Armenian girls. The French
language is universally used by the
sisters
Tauris, Mesopotamia and Mosul
boast schools and orphanages all in ex-
cellent condition. The Lazarists,
Carmelites, Marists and Dominicans
have entered this far field which is
white with the rich harvest of souls.
Mosul boasts a seminary under the
direction of the Dominican Fathers.
In this seminary which is famed
throughout the East, the Chaldean
clergy receive their education.
From these activities on the part
OF French missionaries, it will be
readily understood that the influence
OF this nation has manifested a
steady growth on affairs in the Far
East.

THE NINE FIRST FRIDAYS.

Our-Lord wished to win back men
to His love and showered still greater
love on the wanderer. Man was TAX
en- up with the toys of the world; his
passions spurred him away from Cod;
his head was lowered by the pressing
burden of flesh. Then it was that
Christ revealed to Saint Margaret
Mary that He was longing for the love
of His hayward children, and to win
them back He babe her establish the
devotion to His Sacred Heart. /.
Now, a special manifestation of this
devotion was the Communion of Rep
aration on the First Friday of each
month, and to anyone making this
PREPARATION, in nine successive months,
our Lord promised the tremendous
favor of the grace of final penitence.
"They shall not die in My disgrace
nor without their Sacraments; My
Divine Heart shall be their refuge in
this last moment"
Hence it is that the wonderful in
terest in making the Nine First Fri
SloNh up Ill tAO oAui Sh'
Oh, never let laziness or love of ease
hold you in bed on the morning of the
First Friday, when you can make a
sacrifice for the Sacred Heart and gain
His love especially in the hour of your
death. All the Associates of the
League have ever been DESTROYS of
making the First Friday Communions.
They are devoted to this practice that
they are spreading devotion to the
Sacred Heart practically and are at
the same time winning the bountiful
promises of our Lord. You know the
benefit of frequent Communion and
how dear to the Sacred Heart such
practice is. By making the Nine First
Fridays you add another Communion
TO your love-offering to Christ.

ALL ARE TEMPTED.

Every man possesses in himself all
the possibilities of badness. His
temptations do not make him weak;
they are his opportunities, and they
either reveal him or expose him.
There are weak and shallow, cynical
men who make light of their tempta-
tions, says the Tablet.
The man who laughs at his temp
tations is not safe, while the man
who SCOTS at his temptations which
he has accepted is profane. No
wrong can satisfy; it can only graf
ify the brief bitter bliss one has for
great sim" Temptation is an op-
portunity to work out an immortal
career-"sow a thought and you reap
an act, SOW an act and you reap a
habit, SOW a habit and you reap a
character. sow character and you
reap destiny"
To be Christian does not free a
man from temptations. 1t only sets
him free to meet and master them
Man. is lord of all below him and
witness to all above him. Its only
when he surrenders to his tempta
tions that he becomes a slave to ali
below him and false witness to all
above him. He has betrayed him
self, for in caricature OF himself he
