Madrid's Famous Promenade MONUMENTS WHICH ADORN THE PRADO In the records of modernity one page will be found lacking the self-expression of cities. Or mayhap the Champs-Elysees in Paris, with its showy Arc de Triomphe at one end, Hyde Park Gate in London, Macquariestreet, Sydney, are that self-exPressin • • In that case we might say that nowhere do they attain to an expression of spiritual interest. The typical modern yul. garities: show, commercialism, and imitation, are always there. The mediaeval towns had their Cathedral squares; but such affirmation is denied us. An exception must be made in the case of Madrid. in the Prado we have the complete selfrealisation of a city, a city with s omething to say. Leisure is the note of Spanish life. Leisure is at its intensest in Madrid, and ideally manifested in its chief urban thoroughfare. This long walk consists of three parts: the Paseo del Prado, the "Salon" del Prado, and the Paseo de Recoletos. On either side stretch the Jardin Botanic°, the Muse() del Prado, the Ministermo de la Marina, the Ministerio de la Guerra (bosomed high in trees), the great Post Office and the Bank of Spain, the Arab villa. the National Library, and the Palaces of the celi and other Duke of Medina nobles. Practically every sign of commercialism Is absent, and .laving their State departments place here bear no label, and Miniature wear the air of palaces. ray and woods leave a central another Toad on either side, The three sections are separated by the fountains of \ eptune and Cibele.

There, we are told (in "Greatnesses and Memorable Things of Spain, 1543") were five curious and sumptuous fountains, rose bushes twined round the trunks

of the poplars growing in three rows, and finely dressed ladies and gentlemen came to enjoy the sun in winter and the shade in summer. "Adieu!" sings Cervantes. "Adieu, Madrid, thy Prado and thy fountains, Where gushes nectar, flows ambrosia." •

M ADRID'S GREAT POST OFFICE.

The prestige of the Prado was further added to when the nobles began to give festivals in the palaces that bordered it. The first of these, inaugurated in the reign of Philip IV., was in the Palace of the Buen Retiro, to the left of the Prado Museum. Romance and elegance had shone for a century on the Paseo when Charles III., at the end of the 18th. ceutury, determined to level out the three parts of it and formalise the walk. This was done. and the Jardin Botanico transferred from .Aranjuez to the present place. The Museum ot Natural Sciences, also planned by Charles. was carried out by Fernando VIT., and being fortunately dedicated to art instead of science, became the most miraculous art museum in the world. The Banco de Espana, Post Office. and Hotel Ritz are modern creations, as also the Arab villa in Moorish style, and the Natirmal Library. They har monise with all that has preceded them.

Fronting the famous Prado. this fine building, though modcrn in design. harmonises with the historic piles that surround it.

A handsome pile. dating from the reign of Charles III., it contain masterpieces of nearly all the schools of painting and sculpture in Europe. In addition to specimens of the early Spanish schok-- :, Ribera, Murillo and Velasgnez are represented (the latter in a pecial "sala"). Among the Italian masters are canvases by Raffaele. Tintoretto and Titian. There are, too, examples of Van Eyck and Holbein, while Rubens has no less than 60 paintings.

He has also been tolerant to the idea, propounded by Cardinal Mercier and a delegation of Belgian Catholics a number of years ago, of allowing Catholics to celebrate a Mass in Upsala Cathedral, in honour of the memory of .Archbishop Ulfsson. Ulfsson was the last Catholic Archbishop of Sweden (he died in 1522), and he founded the new great university. But this idea of Mercier's, so relevant to the brotherhood of both mankind and all its sects, was overborne. since Luther still rules the public conscience of religious Sweden.

Several clergy attended the ceremony. Dr. Sidley, who relinquished his duties at the Horne in 1933, in favour of his son, Dr. Martin Sidley, was appointed a Knight of St. Sylvester in 1919 by the Pope. Ten years later his wife received the Cross Pro Ecclesia et Pontifice for diocesan services. The Very Rev. Canon P. Curtin, P.P., St. Joseph's, Maidenhead, for the past 32 years, celebrated the 40th. anniversary ot When his ordination recently. he came to Maidenhead nearly 33 years ago, there was only a handful of Catholics in the town and Mass was said in a tin building on a piece of waste ground, the present site of the church. Now there are approximately 400 parishioners. and the parish possesses a beautifui church, excellent schools. and a hall. Canon Curtin is greatly beloved by his parishioners. especially the children, on account of his genial kindliness, good humour. and unHis practice of failing tact. standing behind the door to greet his flock as they enter the church each Sunday has become quite an institution and one that is greatly appreciated by the people. • Collections in the Shrewsbury Diocese for Lenten alms amounted to £248 lOs 9d last year. • • Members of the Liverpool St. Patrick's Day Banquet and Ball Committee have formed a committee to raise funds on behalf of the Joseph Devlin Memorial Over £20 General Committee. has already been subscribed, including a donation of £5 from Archbishop Downey. • • The prevalence of anti-Catholic bias in the Farnworth Council led Father Cobb, P.P., of St. Gregory's, Farnworth, Lancs., to issue a strong appeal from the pulpit on behalf of Catholic candidates in the council elections which took place the following day. -Stating that only too often in the past, everything connected with St. Gregory's had been opposed by the council, in which non-Catholics predominated, and citing ill support of his statement the difficulty he had experienced in obtaining small grants fpr school repairs, he urged the necessity of having a Catholic councillor to plead the Catholic cause with the authorities. The first election of a Catholic to the Urban Disti-ict Council of Crowle, Lincolnshire. since the Reformation days, occurred last month when Father N. Ellis, C.R.P.. was successful in his candidature.

The resolution says that the Govcrtiment of Mexico "has perverted its stately function" by denying the guarantee of religious liberty and by making it impossible for the citizens to discharge their solemr obligation to worship their God.

This book is made up of a series of letters of a young Marist missionary in the Solomon Islands. Father Emmet McHardy died in New Zealand in 1933, after a hard and apostolic life on the mission fields of the Pacific. His letters reveal a simply, saintly and undaunted spirit, and give a graphic account of missionary life and work in the Solomons.

Examples of oppressive inea-, sures against Catholics in an atmosphere charged with animosity, are reported from Germany. Recently raids on monasteries and convents were carried ont by Customs officials, who, refusing to recognise the contemplative character of the houses, brusquely demanded full access.

A similar arrest was made at Thebnitz Convent, which has been closed by the police, and the Superior taken into custody. These are but isolated incidents which have been re-enactinstitutions Catholic in ed resulting Reich, throughout the numlarge of ension appreh the in bers of religious.

According to the morning press, the Moderator -General of t he Presbyterian Church recently made a scathing condemnation r f gambling in general, and of State lotteries in particular while it is apparent that gambling may develop into a passion diffi —cult to control, that it may engender idleness and uselessness, that it may lead to evil or potentially evilplaces and persons, still gambling in itself is not necessarily morally wrong, apart, of course, from eX. cess and scandal. It is no more evil to stake money on a chaiice issue than to insure one's property against risk or to speculate on the stock exchange. • The real danger that surrounds gambling is the liability to sin against the virtue of justice. Hence theologians require that in gambling the money should belong to the gambler and be at his free disposal, that he act freely and without compulsion, that th ere Le no fraud in the transaction, and that there be some sort of equality between the parties that the contract may be equitable, If any of these conditions be wanting, gambling becomes more or less wrong.

PERTH, SATURDAY, MAY 18, 1935.

of PoT ant._ The recent death of Marshal Pilsudski closed the career of of one of the most remarkable figures of modern times. The life interest. personal the Polish Dictator is not, however, of merely small His life was inextricably bound up with that of a nation, hunseven After past. tremendous a with but eographically, g the by asunder rent was dred years as a sovereign power, Poland were remains mangled poor her and 1795, hideous "partition" of In thrown to the three ravening wolves who had savaged her. indelis Poles the of treatment particular, the history of Russia's reibly stained, though her efforts to uproot their national culture, ligion, education, and liberty proved completely abortive. Though fetterPoland was in Russian chains, her national spirit was never hundred one over and traditions, their cherished Poles The ed. years of barbarous slavery and extermination served only as fuel which to feed the flame of liberty. At length the Great War, to hack gave devastation, and loss such world the brought to Poland her nationhood. • • Towards the close of the last century a great figure arose out e f the strife against Russia—the figure of Joseph Pilsudski. Falling a victim, in early manhood, to Russian persecution, he spent five years of servitude in the Siberian mines. On his liberation, he e spoused the cause of Poland and became the arch-conspirator against Russia. His chief work was the organisation and training of a secret Polish army which, when the war came, served under Austria. At the outbreak of the Russian Revolution, however, the Polish divisions joined forces with the counter-revolutionists- Pilsudski, meanwhile, had entered the political arena, conflicted with the Germans, suffered imprisonment, but was released to become the Chief of State in the new nation that emerged from the War. Together with Paderewski, he set out to rebuild Poland, and even found time to assist in the liberation of the Ukraine from Russian Bolshevism. •

•

But in that same moment when Poland was celebrating her victory, the forces of Revolutionary Russia were advancing northwards. and Poland had alienated Labour sympathies in Europe by Pilsudski, at first paralysed. was startled the Ukraine invasion. into action by the French General Weygand, and accomplished the "miracle of the Vistula." routing the Red troops in the north and finally compelling retreat in the south. Trotsky, the Russian Minister for War, had to acknowledge defeat and peace was signed This was followed by his ' etween Russia and Poland in 1920. quite unwarranted seizure of Vilna in Lituania. But by now that strange mixture of autocracy and democracy in his nature had begotten him enemies on all sides. Poland wanted a Constitution like the rest of Europe. Pilsudski retired, defeated and humiliated. But the ferment in Poland continued, and in 1926, bi the terrible means of a civil war, Pilsudski returned as Dictator. Since that time the Marshal has guided the destinies of Poland through many vicissitudes. • • • Whatever mistakes the late Marshal may have made, he will live long in world history as a true patriot and as the saviour of Europe. His victory over the Russians fifteen years ago saved not alone Poland, hut the whole of Western Europe. for without a doubt Lenin's objective was world revolution, and the open door *o that was Warsaw. With Pilsudski's death Poland faces a serious crisis, for despite the remarkable racial loyalty of its people ( which has been cemented by their faith) the years of the dispersion have affected the unity of their outlook. In Pilsudski's words, "Poland is a new-born babe among the nations," and now, in the Marshal's passing, an orphan. Moreover, on her two major borders are two great potential dangers.—the Bolshevism of Ruscia and the neo-heathenism of Germany, both militating against her culture and her faith. But, as in the past, Poland, through her ihtense Catholicism, has survived the ravages of persecution nd disintegration. so in the future the gallant little bulwark of Etrrope will survive the ravages of the spirit.

On the other hand, it seems rather extreme to take a completely prohibitionist attitude towards gambling while such gross ...nd pressing evils as divorce, secular educ,Ation, and birth-control are glossed over or condoned by all save the Catholic Church. To regard participation in the State lottery in the light of a serious moral lapse, approaches the absurd. It may be, and for the most, is, an innocent form of recreation, which by its very moderation cubs the tendency to excess while providing finance for the most corn. mendable work of caring for the sick and suffering. It would be far more appropriate to turn the finger of condemnation towards those unscrupulous individuals who juggle with the money market on the Exchange to the great detriment and often the ruin cf the small speculator.

The Russion people cherish the tale that Czar Alexander I., who conquered Napoleon 1., deliberaely spread the news of his death at Taganrog, in southern Russia, near the Sea of Asov, and then retired into solitude to live and die as a commoner among the people, writes Baron Eric Fersen. in "The Christian Family."

A PAPAL DECORATION

RARE

AWARD.

( By Joscelyne Lechmere.) of seventy-two pounds' weight and adorned with sapphires to the value of 1,450 scudi, was sent by Pope Innocent XI. to Maryiensku, Consort of John Sobieski, King of Poland. The first foreign Prince to receive the Golden Rose was Fulk, Count of Anjou, in 10%, following the famous Council of Clermont. when on the urgent appeal of Pope Urban II. to join in the First Crusade, the assembled princes, barons and knights replied in unison, "Dieu le veult" ("God wills it.") In modern days the Golden Rose has exclusively been awarded to women of Royal rank, the one exception appearing to be the Rose given by Pius IX. to Baroness Vigier. formerly the great contralto Sophie Cruvelli, in 1874. . The Rose itself has varied in its fashioning from the single flower tinted red, as sent to Eugenie. Empress of the French. at the christening of her son the Prince Imperial. now in the possession of the Benedictines at Farnborough. to that ornate example of the goldsmith's art, with many flowering branches. conferred on Elizabeth. Queen of the Belgians. by the present reigning Pope. in 1925, this being the last time of its award. The making of the Golden Rose has become an appanage of the famous firm of Romen jewellers whose family for generations has been entrusted with this delicate work. In many cases its intrinsic value has been enhanced by the tradition of a ruby to the central blossom which contains a tiny cup with pierced cover.

Mediaeval days saw the Rost borne in great state through Rome's streets, being carried by the Pope himself on horseback as in the case of Nicholas V., whose coronation took place on Mid Lent Sunday, 1447, when he rode to Saint Peter's in full state, preceded by the Most Holy Sacrament and carrying the Rose in his left hand, whilst he blessed his kneeling people with the right. It is on Laetare Sunday, when the Church bids us suspend for one day the penitential atmosphere of the Lenten Fast, and enjoins the use of rose-colowed vestments and draperies, that the stately ceremonial of the Blessing of the Golden Rose annually takes place. In early times held in the Church of Santa Groce in Gerusalemme and later in the Vatican Hall of Vestments, the ceremony now takes place in the Sixtine Chapel, where the Rose reposes on the Altar during High Mass, succeeding which the Pope receiving a thurible from the Cardinal Deacon, incenses the Rose and sprinkles it with Holy Water, and pours into the centre cup powdered musk and balsam, thereafter reciting the traditional prayers. Great ceremony was in former times attached to the conveying of a Golden Rose to the fortunate recipient. and this duty was usually confided to a legate a latere. In recent times, however, the conveying of the Rose devolves on the Camcriere participante known as Bearer of the This is usually Golden Rose. • the Private Chamberlain of Cloak and Sword whose period of ser-

vice in the Papal Ante-Chamber happens to synchronise with an imminent bestowal of the Rose. Of the twelve or more Roses presented at various times to the great Roman Basilicas, all have now disappeared under the exigencies of political or civil disturbances. There is extant at least one historical instance in which this honour was accorded annually in perpetuity, when Pope Leo IX., in 1082, decreed that a Rose should be given each year to tile head of the Orsini family which shares with the Colonna the honour of Prince Assistant at the Pontifical Throne, in reward for the aid accorded by Prince Ludovico Orsini. The golden branches from which the flowers sprinc, are not without their thorns, and in this connection it may be mentioned that amongst the later recipients of this Papal honour were those t wo Queens of many sorrows, the Empress Charlotte of Mexico, whose husband the Emperor Maxmillian, was shot by his own subjects, and Queen Amelie of Portugal. who witnessed the assasination of King Carlos and his heir on that fatal winter's morning in Lisbon's Black Horse Square. The last Rose to be presented to'the Consort of a reigning English Sovereign was that given by Urban VIII. to his god-daughter Henrietta Maria of France, the wife of Charles the First, hut it was bestowed on the Queen of James the Second when in exile at Saint Germain. and Innocent XIII. sent it in 1722 to Clementina Sobieski, the Polish Princess, who had espoused the dispossesse7 monarch's heir, the Prince known to the Hanover;ans as the "Old Pretender" but to Legitimists as King Tames the Third.

In the second term College, by combination and good kicking, carried their score to seven goals. Two of these came from the foot of the centre half -forward, E. Benson. who was playing an excellent game. Piawaning only added another full-point er to their total. and at half time the scores were: College, 7.0; Piawaning. 2.1. During the third quarter. Piawaning attacked strongly, and gained some ground by their superior combination. At the end of the term the difference between the teams was four goals in the College favour, the scores being: College, 10.0: Piawaning. 5.6. The fourth quarter opened with renewed vigour, but Piawaning quickly w ent down under the systematic play of their opponents, who by some brilliant bursts and good play by the forwards. particularly F Kidd and Benson Bros. Carmody. in his new position as sneak, was marking splendidly and using his opportunities to the fullest advantage. A goal from P. Smith was Piawaning's only advance in the last term, and the score hoard at the final hell showed that College had run out easy victors, the scores being: College: 17 goals 3 behinds. Piawaning: 6 goals 6 behinds.

He was ably supported by the rucic man Knox, by the rover Wow! ard by McCaul, who at times shone brilliantly. G.

" 'She shone at the concert, she danc at the ball, Till she heard of the Daughters of Vincent de Paul.' Mrs. McKernan glanced quickly at her daughter, sitting at the writing table, pen in hand.

Thrilled to the soul, Kitty went to New York, to the stately home that had been held in her mother's family for three generations. But time had brought changes, and many of the children of the old neighbours had abandoned their places before the encroachment of the apartment district. And thus it happened that one day between the gay whirls of the life that had become hers, Kitty met a Parish Visitor of Mary Immaculate on her rounds of ministry, and learned of a new Community established Like the heroto meet new needs. ine of the poem she had wished to quote from in her letter to her favourite teacher at Rose Hill, dances and parties began to pall, fine clothes and jewels lost their attraction, and Kitty McKernan entered the novitiate of the Parish Visitors to prepare for her ministry to Christ in His poor. Vas, it was a mistake, agreed Mrs McKernan to her stricken heart, for a Protestant to marry a Catholic. Go back to the rose garden, to the village with its friendly people—oh! never, never now! The roses held her, however! They must not suffer. And Kitty —now Sister Mary Grace—to whaan she had woken on one of the novices visiting days—said she felt sure the Sisters could find a suitable person for her. Which they did. And when Mrs. Mc Kernan saw the old German and his thritty- wife installed as caretakers. she experienced that utter loneliness which comes when, a last duty performed, we shut the door on an irrevocable past. She bravely tried to carry on. But her partners at bridge found her lack ing in essential interest, the gossips at the table wearied of supplying all the conversation. When she discovered that something was also slipping away from her hus band, then she stopped resolutely and began to take stock of herself. Her study of the situation revealed to her that her husband was deriving solace for his sorrow, strength to bear his That source she knew loneliness. was in his religion—in his Church. That is was—that mysterious power in the Church—which was setting up this intangible barrier between her and her husband, and which, if not de stroyed, would leave her of all women the most miserable.

The Reunion Movement in India Striking Progress in

Malabar, Striking evidence of the_ pro, gress of the reunion movement among the Jacobite schismatics of Malabar, India, is given iu the report for 1934 of the Archdio, cese of Trivandrum. Mar Ivanios, the Archbishop, was formerly - Archbishop of the Jacobites. He was received into the Catholic Church in 1930, and many of his old flock have follow-ed him. In 1934 the Catholic population of his diocese increased to 18.725. compared with 10,186 in the previous year. Two seminaries were built, six churches erected and 28 chapels established. "Resides this external progress, there has been considerable internal progress too," writes Mar Tvanois. "Conferences for the laity, in which apologetic subjects have been particularly stressed upon, were conducted in the principal centres. Large numbers of Jacobites, too, attended these conferences. "Retreats for the laity were conducted in the various churches and mission stations. Pious Associations have been established in several places. Catho, t ic _Action Guilds have been established in some places. Retreats for the priests and catechists have been conducted. "All this progress has been due to the great support that the Holy See has so graciously rendered to me. "T am confident that the ardent desire of the Holy Father for the return of his erring children is being- fulfilled, and that sheltered by His Holiness's loving arms. the reunion movement will attain greater force and momentum in the near future."

Reading for the Home W ALKING WITH CHILDREN.

THE LOVE OF GOD.

Ilike to walk with children, for there's wonder in their eyes. And every little incident is lovely with surprise. They're always finding beauty in some unexpected spot, And nothing seems to bore them as they go at double trot; But the grown-up men and women are so burdened down with care They walk right by the splendours that are shining everywhere.

Lord, had we always treated You as You deserve, could You be more in love with our company? Surely, Your eagerness should drive away fear that our uncouthness and coldness will Love "is patient, disgust You. all things . . . beareth . . . is kind hopeth all things, endureth all 0 Lord things" (I Cor., xiii). disapnot will we Lover, and I like to go with twelve- year -olds and point You. conare You Since watch them race about, we And hear their shouts of gladness as tent to have us as we are, will draw near to You without they ferret marvels out. They seem to find enchantment and fear. "Behold we come to excitement all the way, Thou art the Lord our for Thee; As if this big and busy world were iii. —Mother Mary (Jer.

Jesus. Friend where others fail, Friend where others cannot help, would I could tell all men the story of Your gentle ways, and bring them, one and all, to love But that, alas, You in return. Yet, some were an idle wish. there are with whom I live my shortening days. some whom I have with me at home and some ‘vhom I shall meet in the busy ways ol life. These at least will I teach the gladness of Your friendship; these few at least will WITH SAINT AND SAGE. I bring to know Your priceless love and all Yorrr blessed gifts. They who forgive shall be most 0 Jesus, help me to make You forgiven.—Bailey. Friend to all my friends.---Francis P. Le Buffe. S.J. Sin may be clasped so close we cannot see its face.—Trench. THE SUFFERING OF JESUS.

I think there ought to be a law compelling every man To walk with children once a day, or often as he can. 'Twould du him good to see once more the countless charms they find; 'Twould rid of hate and prejudice his over -burdened mind. In spite of all the care he's known and wrongs he's had to bear. The little folks would prove to him that joy is everywhere. —Edgar A. Guest.

The souls who seek God find Him everywhere, but particularly in the, poor. Nu matter what price I have to pay, God must be pleased with me.—Blessed Claude de la Colombiere. A sign of true charity in a soul is its being able to put up with everything.—St. Louise de Mar iliac. True happiness never flows into a man, but always out of him.—Cardinal Newman. A soul to whom God' has given the grace of simplicity takes all from Him.. She sees all in God, and God in all.—Blessed Julie BiMart. Y ou and I have a burden ot If we had the riches of sin. Dives it would be all \veil spent to redeem its from the dregs of sin—to take away that awful burden. Beware of envy, and von will have avoided a great pitfall which engulfs too many good people For a secret envy in its thousand disguises is too apt to be the vice of the good.

The Redeemer has saved us on Calvary by suffering and love ; the more there be of love and suffering in a soul, the more is she coredemptrix of the world A soul who p,,swith I-Tim. esses in a very high degree love and suffering call, according to the saints, have the greatest influence for the salvation of a nation.--Very Rev. Andre rrevot, S.C.J.

J esus suffered to sweeten the chalice for us, to drink all that is most bitter in our stead, to spare us the inevitable sufferings of life that we meet in temptation, in sorrow, in the practice of virtue, to encourage us by His example, to show us that suffering is not unbearable, but that it leads to glory.—St. Claude de la Columbiere. FAITH. Faith, a lively faith, would cure all our spiritual diseases and supply all our needs. It was the one thing Our Lord required in those who came to Him petitioning for favours when He was It is what He wants on earth. "He could not of us all now. do many miracles there because o f their unbelief," we are told, as if this evil disposition tied His hands and restricted Hi Omntpotence. On the other hand. He said to the father who implored Him to heal his lunatic son: "If thou canst believe, all things are possible to them that believe." He speaks as if the answer to our prayers was in our OWt1 hands rather than in His.— Mother Mary I.ovola. THE BLESSED SACRAMENT. God appears to do no less a cling when He deigns daily to descend from heaven upon our altars than He did when He came down from heaven and took upon Himself our human nature. Bonaventure. THE EXAMPLE OF DEEDS. Declaring to the intelligent . . . the commandments of the Lord by words: but to the hard-hearted and the simple-minded settitn2 forth the divine precepts by the e xample of deeds.—St. Benedict.

THOUGHTS IN SEPARATION. We never meet; yet we meet day by day Upon those hills of life, dim and immense— The good we love, and sleep, our innocence. 0 hills of life, high hills! And, higher than they. Our guardian spirits meet at prayer and play. Beyond pain, joy, and hope, and long suspense, Above the summits of our souls. far hence, An angel meets an angel on the way. Beyond all good I ever believed of thee Or thou of me, these always love and live, And though I fail of thy ideal of me, My angel falls not short. They greet each other. Who knows, they may exchange the kiss we give. Thou to thy crucifix, I to my mother. —Alice Meynell.

A BASUTO WOMAN'S FAITH A fter fasting almost 24 hours and walking 20 miles from her home near the Basutoland border, a Basuto woman of the Prefecture Apostolic .of Garip, Orange Free State, arrived at the Catholic mission of Zastron too late for Mass. but kept her fast until 4.30 in the afternoon, when she finally received Communion. She and several other natives. all fasting, arrived at the mission after all the Masses were finish: ed. There were no-Communion hosts reserved in the little mission-chapel at Zastron. but the lady waited until after Benediction in the afternoon and then begged the priest to give her part of the large Benediction Host. —Fides. THE WISDOM OF FATHER DEGEN. Whenever adversity in any shape or torm conie into your life, it is wise always to look fur the compensating consolatigus, Inch are rarely absent. If you play with mad dugs you will be bitten, and if you put your finger in the fire you will be So, if you dally with burnt. temptation you will get into trouble. It is better to be fearless and independent than rich. We should neither ignore public opinion nor allow ourselves to be completely controlled by it. Idle money is as great a handicap to prosperity as idle men. In trYing to work accocding to a daily time table, it is better to assign the more urgent. exacting, and unpleasant duties to the morning, when our faculties are freshest. and leave the easier duties. which require neither hard thinking nor courage for later on in the day. !There are mans' victims ot nervous disorders—mental . patients—whose condition is aggravated by the pathological solicitude, or over-anxious interest, of worrying relatives and friends.

Catholic News from Everywhere The ninety-year-old Mrs. Benoni Caillouette, of Willimantic, Conn., was an honoured guest of the Motherhouse of the Sisters of Charity, of Quebec; when her daughter, Sister Claire, celebrated her golden jubilee as a religious. Five other Sisters celebrated their golden and two their diamond jubilee.

Reminiscent of the days when Ku Klux Klan bigotry was at its height, a fiery cross was burned outside the office of the "Catholic Union and Times," Buffalo, N.Y., and a few hours later threats were received by anonymous telephone Calls in the newspaper's office.
