Italyhasbeenremindedagainand againthatherfutureisonthesea,and foreignPowershavebeenwarnedthat Italymustnotbebottledupinher ownnarrowwaters.

Oneofthemainjustificationsfora strongNavyisbaseduponthecalculationthatthree-quartters(24,500,C00 tonsayear)ofthesuppliesuponwhich theveryexistenceofthecountryde pendscomesfromoverseasalonglines ofcommunicationeasilycontrolled fromthenavalbasesofforeignPowers.Otherstatisticsgotoshowthat theMediterraneanaccountsforonly 14percent.ofItalianmaritimecommerce,whereas86percent.isoutside thatsea.Thus,sofarassuppliesare concerned,Italyis,amongthegreater nations,inapositioncomparableonly withthatofGreatBritainandJapan.

InhisRomanesLectureatOxford, Mr.WinstonChurchill,M.P.,whotook forhissubject,"Parliamentandthe EconomicProblem,"said,inthecourse ofhisspeech:Economicproblems,unlikepolitical issuescannotbesolvedbyanyexpression,howevervehement,ofthenationalwill,butonlybytakingtheright action.'Everyoneknowswhatthepeoplewish.Theywishformoreprosperity.Howtogetit?Thatisthe grimquestion,andneithertheelectors northeirrepresentativesarecompetent toanswerit.

Itwouldseemthat,ifnewlightis tobethrownuponthisgraveandclamantproblem,itmustinthefirstinstancereceiveexaminationfromanonpoliticalbody,freealtogetherfrom partyexingencies,andcomposedofpersonspossesingspecialqualificationsin economicmatters.Parliamentwould, therefore,bewelladvisedtocreate suchabodysubordinatetoitself,and toassititsdeliberationstotheutmost.

Inwhatmannerdoestheofferingof theMasstakeplace?Theofferingof ChristatMass,unlikeHisofferingon theCross,isnotmarkedbybloodshed. WhenOurLorddiedHispainfuldeath onthewoodoftheCross,HisSacred BodyandBloodwereseparatedwith greatpain.Hewassomuchdisfigured,hangingableedingvictim,that, accordingtoIsaias:"Therewasno beautyorsightlinessinHim."Now, theverysameseparationofBodyand BloodtakesplacemysticallyatMass bythewordsofconsecration.Bythe wordsuponthebread,thebodyof Christonlyispresent:thatis,these wordsdonotactupontheBloodof Christatall.Andbythewordsupon thewinetheBloodofChristonlyis present,andthesewordsdonoteither actupontheBodyofChrist.Henceit isthatthedoubleconsecrationislike atwo-edgedswordstrikingabloodless stroke,mysticallyseparatingtheBody ofJesusfromHisBlood,thusplacing OurLord,likeaVictim,inasacrificialstatetobeofferedup.Itistrue, ofcoursethatbyaninseparableun ionofbothsubstancesintheglorified Jesus,HisBloodisunitedtotheBody attheAltarandtheBodytothe Blood;yetthewordsofconsecration, oftheirownvirtue,aimattheseparationofbothsubstances,Bodyana Blood.

TheendoftheHolySacrificeofthe Crosswastheredemptionofmankind.

FATHERGUIDO-GEZELLEGETSASTATUE.

Thecentenaryofthebirthofthis greatDutchman,whoishailednow asoneofthegreatestpoetstheNetherlandshaseverproduced,hasbeenmarkedbyamonumentintheCityof Bruges-hisbirthplace."If,"writes FatherVanderHeyden,thegeniusof FatherGezellewentunappreciatedun.tilwithinafewyearsafterhisdeath, in1899,theceremonythatmarkedthe recentdedicationofhismonument wascharaCterisedbythemostlavish honours.ThemostdistinguishedleadersofChurchandStateattendedthe exercises.OneofthespeakerswasHis MajestyKingAlbertofBelgium,who wasaccompaniedbyhisgraciousQueen andwassurroundedbyabrilliantstaff ofgenerals.Oratory,musicandpoetry werewovenintoamagnificentprogrammethatdevelopedthethemeof theday:GuidoGezelle,themanthe poet,thepriest.

Asaman,thepriest-poetwaslaudedforhisloveofhisfellowmen,his loveofhisnativeland,andwashailed asamanwhomGodtriedinthecrucibleofsuffering,thathemightbethe morecaptivating,themorelovable.
