GreatDistinction.

Dr.Korosecholdshispostinthe MinistryofPremierVukitchevich.This Ministry,incidentally,hasbeenmalignedbyitsenemiesindispatchessentto America.Forinstance,someweeks agothepressoftheUnitedStates carriedanarticlesayingthattheVukitchevichCabinethadfallenafter beinginpoweronly48hours,thatthe PremierhadquarrelledwiththeCoalitionCabinet,andthattheKinghad Areatenedtomakeanarmygeneral glictator.

inalmostallrespects,thisstory wasfalse.TheVukitchevichMinistryhadbeeninpowersincetheSeptemberelections,thequarrelwasan internalpartyaffair.notwiththe Cabinet;andfarfrommakingathreat ofadictatorship,theKing,whois greatlybeloved,hadflatlyrefusedthis plan.Moreover,theanti-Catholicphaseof theincidentwascompletelyignored inthedispatchtoAmerica.Thesituation,whichhasadistinctCatholic bearing.maywellberecountedhere. Itwasthis:

Vukitchevich,oneofthetwostrong leadersoftheSerbianRadicalParty, hadformedhisGovernmentbyjoininghandswithDr.Korosecandthe CatholicSlovenianParty:WithatwothirdsmajorityinParliamenit,this Governmentgrewstrongerandstronger,andwasmakingrapidprogressin settlingvariousquestionsvexingthe country-Ithaddoneawaywiththe centraliseciasystemofgovernmentand returnedcertainlibertiestoprovinces whichhadbeencryingoutforthem.

Thesechangesfollowedingeneral theprinciplesoftheCatholicParty.

ButVukitchevichcouldnotgain thesupportoftheCroatiangroup, Radic,itsleader,wentintotheopposition,andPribicevic,theotherCroat strong,man,likewisewasoutside.Pribicevicisthemanwho,wheninpower someyearsago,formedananti-CatholiccoalitionandpersecutedtheChurch violently.HeclosedCatholicschools andotherinstitutions,andhadalaw passedwhichregulatedpreachingin Catholicchurchesandorganisedthe Orjuna,asortofKuKluxKlan,which harassedCatholics.Laterhewas sweepinglyd6featedatthepols.

Pribicevic,animatedbyhatredof Catholics,nowworkedunceasinglyto ousttheVukitchevichMinistry.After afutilefightinParliamenthisgroup turnedtointernalplots,andfinally succeededincausingabreachbetween VukitchevichhimselfandDavidovic, hisfellow-leaderoftheSerbianRadicalParty.Thedeclarationwasmade thatonlybytheremovalofVukitche. vichcouldtheco-operationofthe Croatsbegainedandthecountryunified.

Finally,theplotterssucceededin obtainingresignationsfromtheCabinetwhichforcedVukitchevichalsoto resign.Thereupontheking,wishing togiveafairtrialtotheplotters'contentions,firstnamedRadicPremier.

ItwasaSundayafternoonofMarch sunshine,andIhadleftthebattleship whichcarriedmeaschaplainoutin thebeautifulbay,andfoundmyway upthenarrowearthenstreetthatled tothefortress.Atoncethecavedwellingstookmyeyeandfancy.

Inthissimpleandprimitiveway thehousingproblemofwhite,scatteredAlmeriahadbeensolved.These cavehousesboastednowindow.

THOUGHTSONTHEBLESSEDBACRAMEZIT.

(ByRev.C.C.Martindale,S.J.)

Apriest'slifecontainsmanyworries,anxieties,monotonies,sorrows; alsoencouragements,inspirations, gratitudes,andsomeverydeepjoys indeed.RecentlyIwroteoftheintensejoyduetoknowingyouhave beengranted"healinghands,"andare permittedtoabsolve.

Whenyoupreach,organise,suggest, visit,youmaymakeeverykindof mistakeandevenfault-youmaybe dull,tactless,rough,easy-going,crotchety,shy,lazyandathousandother things,andfailtodogood,and,even, doharm.ButwhentheSacraments areinquestiontheirdivineresultdoes not'dependuponthepoorhuman priest,andhehastheintensejoyof knowingthatChristisalwaysChrist, andthatHisBloodalwayssaves,and thatHisPresencealwayssanctifies.

Hencehowprofoundthejoyof knowingthatChristusesyourhands tohealwith;thatHeliterally"hands Himselfover"bymeansofyoutoHis lovedonesatHisTable.

"Behold,God's.Lambl"

"EnterMyHouse!"

Yetmoreastoundingfact-words spokennolesslongagobyasoldier, yetbutapagan,havebeenplaced bytheChurchuponthelipsofallher children.WedogiveHimHischance -"Lord,IknowIamnotworthy.But justbecauseIamsounworthyIneed TheemorethanThypureArchangels needThee,whoareeverinThyhouse. Entermyhouse." Thepetitionerdidnotdaretosay quitethat-hemadeasthoughhe wouldexemptOurLordfromentering hishouse:"Justspeak!Justissue yourcommandfromwhereyouare: yourhealingmiraclewillbeworked." Andsoindeeditwas;butwhoshall

supposethatthatpooranxiousman didnothope,inhissecretheart,that Christwouldcomeunderhisroof-andsoindeedHedid.

ThereforeHe,trueman,savesus.And wemustnotbesoawe-struckby,so worshipfulof,HisDivinity,astoforgetfor_onemomentthatHeistruly man.

AndtheBlessedSacramentwas fashionedtoassistus,precisely,inour manhood.Itiswithourlips,andnot inthoughtalone,thatwereceiveIt. Wecannotbut,itseemstome,rememberwhenwetakeit,thatHehas come"allthewaydown";thatHe hadeyesandearsaswehave;wasa littleboy,agrowinglad,aworking man-hadHisfriends(andbyway ofthemHis'saddestheart-breaks); knewhungerandfatigue;disappointments,exultations,fearandtedium, agonyandjoy.

"ThusetVital*"

SoHe,inHismanhood,notonly "lives,"but"giveslife.""Asthe Fatherliveth,andbathlifeinHimself,sototheSontoohathHegiven tohavelifeinHimself."And,"whom Hewills,themmakethHealive."So thismosthumanChrist,amanaswe aremen,comestous,andappoints Himselfourguardian.Guardianof thewholeofus;chiefly,inonesense, ofthatsoulofourswhichwilloutlast thisbodythatsorapidlywearsitself away:but,inthislife,guardianjustof ourselves,whicharebody-soul,one person,eachpfusoneman.

"God'sHoney."

St.Augustine,inoneofthoseaudaciousrealistphrasesthathishotAfri cansouldelightedin,saysthatour soulsare"God'shoney"-evensosweet toHimashoneytoourlips.So thatChristgoestoCommunionwith us,justaswedowithHim.Indeed, whatelseisCommunion?Itcannot beaone-sidedthing.Itisnotthe meetingandlinkingoftwothingsof whichoneisinanimate,asthough aringwereplacedabdlitafinger,a coatuponaback.Wearealive; andChristassurdlyisalive.

When,eighteenyearsago,the"ModernChurchman"cameintoexistence, wearetold:-
