Christ Presbyter Rufinus, in his
treatise on this creed, written during
the fourth century, assures us that the
faithful OF his day held it as a tradi-,

fathers in the faith that the apostles,
after the descent of the Holy Ghost
and before they dispersed to preach
the gospel throughout the world, met
and composed the creed to serve as a
summary of the faith among the ma.

In confirmation of this statement il
may be added that "fhe Apostles

apostolic origin The influence OF st.
Peter in drawing UP the creed, al,-

pies developed in his speeches, as
recorded in the acts of the apostles,
are found in no uncertain tone in the
creed. 1.-The Apostles Creed" bears
internal evidence of having been COM
posed in Judea shortly after the cruci-
fixion of Christ. For, in order to fix
the date of the crucifixion, it says

had the creed under consideration

Roman empire, or at later date, it
would have fixed the date Of the cruel

book
Manzoni is honored in Italy not
only as a classic writer, but likewise
as patriot. In his day he was one
of the leaders Of italian nationalism.
Pensioned BY Government.
Manzoni's life covered a span of
SO years. Born in 1885, he lived to
see Italy pass through many phases
of national development. He died in
1873, and in his lifetime had produced
"a large number of works. having be-
gun writing when only Is years old.
Nevertheless his last days would have
been spent in the greatest. poverty,
SO meager were the returns for liter
airy work in those times, had not the
italian government conferred a pen
sion on him in recognition of his serv-
ices to the country. For his most
famous work, "Promessi Sposi." Man.
zoni received only few hundred lire.
Nothing came to him for the various
translations of the novel, of which
literally millions of copies have been
printed and sold.
Manzoni's life was singnlarly pure
and exemplary. In his writings he
was. the champion of purity and liber
ty, and from the day of his conversion
he remained a faithful and deyout
Catholic. His marriage, which re
suited in his entry into the Church
was one of his most fruitful inspira
tons. His wife was an ideal of Chris
ton w0manhood who inspired him tC

MANzoNi, lTALY's G REATEsT
CATHOLIC NOVELIST.

Besides the sixth: centenary of
Dante's death, Italy recently celebrat-
ed the memory OF her most famous
Catholic novelist, Alesandro. Manzoni.
One hundred years ago Manzoni be-
gan the writing of ''Promessi Sposi,"
the first great historical romance to
appear in the Italian language and
one of the greatest OF Catholic novels.
/, 'Promessi Sposi'' is we'll known in
America, not only as library classic
but also in the press. For many years
it has periodically appeared in serial
form in various Catholic newspapers
in the United States. A translation
of the book was made into English in
1927, within q year after it's original
appearance. So great was the success
of the story that in eighteen months
after the first Italian edition, nine diff
ferent translations had been made and
eighteen editions sold out.
The life story of the author of PRO
messi Sposi' is unusually interesting.
Although he ranks today among the
great Catholic writer's of the world, he
was not, as has generally been as
sumed, a Catholic throughout his life.
He was the grandson of Beccaria, the
famous Italian economist, and in the
early years of his manhood was more
or less of freethinker. In his boy
hood his father and mother separated,
and most of the earliest influences Of
n fn ~:
His education. however, after the first
years of home tutoring, was begun
under the Barnabites, at the Collegio
Longone, and in their atmosphere his
naturally spiritual nature began to de-
velop. Nevertheless, Manzoni did not
actually become Catholic until after
his marriage, and then, strange to
say, not through his wife's original
Catholicity-fo for he married a Protes-
tant--but through her conversion. She
preceded him into the Church.
Some Sublime Poems.
From the time of his conversion,
Manzoni's writings became distinctly
Catholic. His best known poems, the
''Inni,' which rank among the first
literary productions of Italy, appeared
at this time. The "Inni," in which are
celebrated the feasts of the Church,
include Manzoni's masterpieces, The
Nativity" THE Resurrection" "The
Passion, "Pentecost,' and finally "The
Name of Mary" These poems are
numbered by Italian critics among the
Sublime" works of their national
| literature.
Next to- .Promessi Sposi," Manzeni's
most celebrated work is one of apollo
lgetics, Observations on Catholic
Morals" which, like many other such
works in various countries, was writ.

REVOLUTIONARY HERo's CON.

the patrician young daughter of Yer

day, under the grace of God, and

Father ManniX. After the war, the
leader of the famous Green Mountain
Boys sought an educational institution
worthy of bis talented and handsome
young daughter, Frances, more popu-
larly known as Fannie.
In the then unsettled condition of
the new republic no such school, he
judged, could be found The best the
land afforded was in Montreal, Can
ada, under the Sisters of Notre Dame.
Thither the general, though an atheist
himself, sent his beloved child

Blessed Sacrament, to forgive her past
hardness of heart and her refusal up
to that time, to believe in Him.
When, few months later, she in
formed her astonished father of her
intention not only to live by the faith
(which has been so openly manifested
to her, but to live as a nun in the

They drew their chairs round to
where they could see her and waited
for her to begin. Her mothers face
was wet with tears, and the old farm
er put his hand to his mouth and
coughed. She sat at the organ for
several minutes in silence, her hands
resting on the keys, wondering if dis
appointment had not ruined all the
voice she had ever had And then it
seemed that the spirit of that home,
that little country home where there
was love and peace, wrapped her
round as with a mantle.
She raised up her head, and her
voice, sweet and tender, carried out
into the old room, to the two faithful
hearts the beautiful, never-old words:
Mid pleasures and palaces though we
may roam,
Be it ever SO humble, there's no place
like home.
A charm from the skies seems to hal,
low us there,
Which, sought through the world, is
ne'er met with elsewhere"

gratitude and loye-singing out her
hearts thankfulness for this refuge
