REFLECTIONSONTHETOMBSOFNAPOLEONANDST.IGNATRYS.

(BytheRev.GarrettPierse,D.D.)

OnthelastdayofJulywefindthe word"glory"intheprayeroftheMass andOfficeforSt.Iignattui.Ithasa specialfittingness.St.Ignatiuswasa soldier.Asoldierandglory;such wasthedreamofhislife-thegloryof theSpanishname.Itwasaname withagreattradition.

Thereisthememoryofthisnoble nation'sgiantarmadasandflotillas. Thereistheglamourofherconquests ofvastcountriestheIndies,theMexicos.Spainandgloryareinseparable; LoGloirewastheidea]ofSpainas muchasofFrance.Honourand gloryweretheveryatmospherein whichtheboyIgnatiusmoved.

ButthegloryoftheSpanishname wasnottheonlyglorytheboyambitioned.TherewasalsotobeasprinklingoffameforIgnatius.Hewould onedaybeagreatofficerwithaname inscribedontherollofhiscountry's valour;perhapsageneral.

ThenthisPaul,breathingfireagainst hisenemies,wasstruckdownonhis waytoDamascus.Hefoundhimself inblindness.Hedidnotseetheglory -thetrulyimmortalglory-ofanother army:theSaints.TheAnaniasto whomthisSaulwassenttobecured wasthe"LivesoftheSaints."Through theiragencythescalesfellfromhis eyes;hecouldnowseethehigher glory.

TheNewBattle.

Itwasnolongertobeafightforthe gloryoftheSpanishname.Itwasto beabattleforaninfinitelygreater one-theaugustnameoftheMost HolyTrinity.Hewouldfightnolongerforthegloryofself,butforthe gloryofanimmeasurablysweeter name,thenameofJesus.

Hewouldnotfightfortheadvance ofthearmsofGod.Whatriskshave notmenundertakenforasmalladvanceinconquest,andincidentallyfor alittlegainofglory?Theyhavefordedwell-nighimpassableriverstocarry adispatchfromtheirgeneral.They havelaughedatabroilingtropical sun.TheyhavescoffedatArctic snows.Asoldieronetimeundertook, withoutaquestion,tocarrythrougha hostilearmyandhostilecountryadispatchfromthePresidentoftheUnited StatestothePresidentofCuba.

St.Ignatiusnowistakingadispatch -theGospel-fromtheKingofKings, Andtoahostilecountry-theworld. liewilltakeittoSpain,toFrance,to Italy.Andhisintrepidsonswilltake ittoIndia,toChina,toCuba,tothe endsoftheearth.

Allheasksforitalittlemoreglory forthecauseofGod.Justthinkofit. AnadditionalGlorytotheFatherand totheSonandtotheHolyGhost meansinfinitelymoretohimnow,and toallcreation,thanthesuccessoften Spanishbattlesorofahundredarmadas.AlittlemoreglorytoGodthat iswithinthebeggar'sreachbysaying afewGlorybetotheFathers.Its valueisincalculable-toaddtothe gloryofcreation.Thesongofarobin addsaglorytothematerialworld;the prayerofaconvertedsinneraddsto thegloryoftheangels.

Trueglory-hasSt.Ignatiusfound it?Whenwethinkofgreatmilitary glory,werecallthetombofNapoleon. ItisthereintheHoteldesInvaldies inParis.Thecasketholdinghisashes issoplaced,andthechamberinwhich itisfoundissodesigned,astoradiate glory.Andyetitisasadglory.We cannotforbearasighforthefateof loveliestandgreatesthumanthings; fortheirspeedypassingaway.The flagsofmanybattlessurroundingthat casket,arenowdrooping.Itisa sombrefunerealgrandeur;likedark pallsandplumesandothertrappings ofwoe.TheflagofAusterlitzisfaded.

ThearmyofNapoleondoesnotexist.

TheOldGuardwhoseexploitswere neveranythingbutworthyofrenown, isnownomore.Theconquestsand organisationsandempireofNapoleon arelost.

TheOtherTomb.

TheOldGuardofNapoleonisdead. ButtheGuardofHonourofIgnatius, theSocietyofJesus,whichhefounded,isnotdeadordecrepit;itcontinuestofightthebattlesoftheMasteronafar-flungfront.

TheconquestofNapoleonislost. 'B'uttheconquestofIgnatius,forwhich hewasraisedbyGodtoopposethe Lutheranrevoltinfaithandmorals,is notfruitless.IftheChurchisnow betterorganisedandfreefromabuses, itisduetoIgnatiusandtheotherlead ersoftheCounter"Reformation."And thechildrenofIgnatiuscontinueto consolidatethepositionswon,when theyaidthefaithbytheirnumerous hooksaswellasbytheirdailyApostolateofthePress.

TheDreamRealised.

St.Ignatius'dreamwas,inthebeginning,thegloryofSpainand,incidentally,ofhimself.Intheendhe obtainedhisdream-sotrueisitthat, ifmenseekfirsttheKingdomofGod andHisglory,alltheotherthingswill beadded.Butheobtaineditina different,higherrealisation.Itwas notthemilitarygloryofSpainthat wassodesirableintheeternalcounselsofGod;theearthlygloryofa littleelevationordepressioninthis smallglobeofours,whatdoes.itmatter?
