Inthefinalanalysis,thebestcourse ofactionseemstometobe:(1)The reductionofthealcoholiccontentof intoxicatingliquor,and(2),thereductionoftheoutputofthebreweries.

ItiswithhumilitythatIspeakasone calledtothatdivinevocation,andI knowIambutechoingtheopinionsof myfellowpriestswhenIsaythat, whileweareconsciousofthesublime privilegethatisours,weareequallyconsciousofourgreatunworthiness.

Timeandcircumstancesshapethe destiniesandvocationsofothermen, butthehandofGodselectsHispriests.

"YouhavenotchosenMe,"saidChrist. "ItisI,yourGod,whohavechosen you."Ofhowgreatimportancethen intheeyesofGodmustbethepriesthood;and,ifyouwouldobjectthat Godhaschosenattimesunwisely,I wouldanswer,inthewordsofSacred Scripture,that"thefoolishthingsofthe worldhastheLordchosenthatHe mayconfoundthewiseandtheweak thatHemayconfoundthestrong."The powerofGodthenshinesfortheven inthisallthemorebrightlyinthat weakinstrumentshandlesuchpower. Thevocationtothepriesthoodisa God-givendestiny,andso,worthyof allthereverenceandhonourweshould paytoallthingsthatcomefromthe handsoftheAlmighty.Reflect,too, thatonceapriest,apriestforeveroncethesealofOrdersimpressesthe soulofaman,whetherforgoodorevil, hepossessesthatpowertothedayhe goestomeethisGod-apowerwhich noearthlyauthoritycanevertearfrom hishands.Letusconsiderthispower throughwhichwewillcometorealise alittleofthesurpassingdignityand grandeuroftheChristianPriesthood. Thefirstandessentialdignityofthe priesthoodisthepowertoofferthe

ButwhatifthatcreaturebeinsinevensodoesGodhumblyobeythe sacrilegiousfiatofhisunworthyminister.BythelightofFaithweknow thesethingstobetrue,andtheyshould servetogiveusadeepandabiding reverenceforthatgreatestofhuman dignities-theSacredPriesthood.The saints,thosefavouredchildrenofGod, haveunitedinonegloriouschorusof praiseofit,andSt.FrancisofAssisi, whofollowedChristliterally,hadthe mostastoundingreverence,aswitness hisfamousremarkthatwerehetomeet apriestandanangelwalkingtogether, hewouldsalutethepriestfirst.This opinionheboreoutinhisactions.If theseholysoulswhoknewsowellthe mindofChristactedthus,surelyit mustbeasignposttousordinary mortalsofthepriestlydignity. Aswellasthistremendouspower. Christhaslefttohisprieststhepower toforgivesins-apowerwhichhas challengedthemindsofmenfromthe momentwhenChristwasaskedbythe Pharisees:"Whocanforgivesinsbut Godalone"?Christ'sreplywasamiraclesealingforalltimeshisauthority andHispowerinthisparticularway. ThenwithHissojournonearthnearly over,Hegavethatself-samepowerto hisApostles.GodHimselfisobliged toabidebythejudgmentofhiscreature,asSt.JohnChrysostomhassaid, "theSovereignMasteroftheuniverse onlyfollowstheservantbyconfirming inHeavenallthatthelatterdecides uponearth."WereChristHimselfin theConfessional,Hecoulddonotmore andsaynomorethanHispriest.God's ownMothercanonlyprayforus-His heavenlyhostscanonlyshieldus,but Hispriestalone,Hisweakhumancreature,canutterthosewordsofessentiallydivineandeverlastingeffect: "Thysinsareforgiventhee."Greatis theworkofthesurgeonwhorebuildsa shatteredbody,greattheworkofa mansuchasPasteur,whohasbrought lifeandhappinesstomillions,great theworkofsocialreformers,greatthe workofanengineer,whoraisesamonumenttohisowngeniusandaworkof lastingbenefittoothers;'butwhatare thesepassingthingscomparedwiththe workofgivinglifeeternaltoahuman soulwhichhascostthebloodandsweat oftheincarnateGod.

THENRYII.ofEnglandlistenedto theArchbishop'swords.The officeofChancellorwasvacant atthetime,andTheobaldofCanterburywastellinghimoftheyounga' Becket.Thirty-eight,hehadalready beenintheserviceofTheobaldfor twelveyears.Hehadaquickmind, saidtheArchbishop,andastrong memory.Hadunusualability,wasa winningconversationalist,too,though hestutteredalittle.He'dstudied CivilandCanonLawatBologna,had beenordainedadeacon.Yes,the Archbishophadknownhisparentsin Franceyearsago.Asaboy,young a'Beckethadbeensentacrosstofinish hisstudiesattheUniversityofParis. Hewasemployedasalawclerkwhen theArchbishophadfirstbeguntotake aninterestinhim.

Well,itseemedtotheyoungKing thatthiswastherightmanforthe Chancellorship.Canterburywascertainlyaschoolofpracticalpolitics. Theobaldwasnofool,either.Soit wasarranged.Thenandthere,at thirty-eight,a'Becketbecame,under theKinghimself,themostimportant maninEngland.

Henry,twenty-one,stillanimpulsive -boy,wascharmedwiththeclever youngChancellor.Often,whenthe huntingwasoverortheday'swork finished,thekingwouldcomeoverto hishouse,rideintohishall,drinkhis health,andawayagain.Hedevelopedakindofhabitofjumpingoverthe tabletotakeaseatbythesideofa' Becket.Thomas,thougholder,hada boy'scare-freeheart,anditwasn'tlong beforeachroniclercouldwrite,"Never weretwobetterfriendsinallChristendom."

TheChancellorwasagreathost.His housewasopentoallcomers,therewas seldomamealatwhichearlsand baronswerenotofthecompany.The greattableglitteredwithgoldengoblets,richwines,andraredishes.Not thatThomashimselfateordranklargely,itwasjusthisnaturaltasteforgorgeousdisplayandaninbornprodigalityofdisposition.

OnceHenrydeclaredwaronthe CountofToulouse.Thomas,athis ownexpense,broughttotheKing'said anarmyof1,200knightsandnearly 5,000footmen,andappearedhimselfat theirhead.Inhelmandcuirassheled thechargeswithallthedaringandresolutionthatmarkedhischaracter.He stormedtownsandcastles,andreturnedtoEnglandin1161inthefullblaze ofdiplomaticandmilitaryglory.

Then,Thedhalddied.Henrysent forThomas,toldhimhewantedto makehimArchbishopofCanterbury.

ThomasthoughttheKingwasjoking, discoveredhismistake,demurred,protested,warnedtheKingoftheinevitableconsequencesofhisdecision."If youdoasyousay,"hedeclared,"your mindwillbequicklyestrangedfrom me,andyouwillhatemethenasmuch asyoulovemenow;foryoutaketo yourself,andwillcontinuetotaketo yourself,anauthorityinChurchmatterstowhichIshouldnotconsent,and manypersonswillbeprompttostirup strifebetweenus."

ButHenryinsisted;ThomasresignedtheChancellorship,andwasordainedpriest.Athisconsecrationheig-

bishopofCanterbury.ThenHenry begantofearhehadgonetoofar,and begantogoback.ThatDecember, aftersixyearsofexile,ThomasreturnedtoEngland.

PreachingintheCathedralon ChristmasDay,hedenouncedhisenemies.Theysquirmed,playedonthe King'ssusceptibilities."Solongas Thomaslives,"oneofthemcomplained,"youwillhaveneithergooddays, norpeacefulrealm,norquietlife." Henry,workedupbythistimeintoa violentfitofpassion,shouted,"Will noonedelivermefromtheinsultsof thislow-bornandturbulentpriest?"

Bakerpublishedin1797herprophecies,togetherwiththoseoftheCheshire prophetNixon,andherewegatherthe followingcircumstantialdetails.Ursula ShiptonwasbornnearKnaresborough, inYorkshire,inJuly,1488,wasduly baptisedasUrsulaSouthielbythe AbbotofBeverley;attwenty-four marriedTonyShipton,abuilder,and departedthislifewithmuchserenity atoverseventyyearsofage.However,abook116841bythenotorious RichardHeadistherealsourceof mostofthefablesabouther.Here wearetoldhowAgathaShiptonwas carriedoffandmarriedbytheDevil, howsheborehimanuglyimpishchild, enjoyedpowerandknowledgebeyond themeasureofmortals,andleftmany propheciesbehindher.Ofthesethe earliestknownrecordisapamphletof 1641,containingformalpropheciesof thedeathofLordPercyandofWolsey. InW.Lilly's"Collectionof AncientandModernProphecies(1645)" occurs"Shipton'sprophecy,"andfrom itweseethatallherprophecieswere consideredasalreadyfulfilled. A prophecyindoggerelverseunderher namewasputintocirculationabout 1862byCharlesHindley,onhisown confession(NotesandQueries,1873). Thesewretchedlinesconcludedwitha prophecythattheworldwouldcome toanendin1881,whichcausedgreat anxietyamongstafewignorantpersonsincornersofEngland."

Inthe"DictionaryofNationalBiography,"however,SirSidneyLeedeclaresthatMotherShiptonherselfis probablya"mythicalpersonage."

"NATIONALNEURASTHENIA."

Thepresentpopularityofallsortsof bogus"prophecies"issimplyasymptomofthepsychologicaldiseasecaused bytheanxietyanddistressofwar;a diseasewhichArchbishopSimonds,of Hobart,hasveryaptlydefinedas"nationalNeurastenia.""Unfortunately," HisGracecontinued,"periodsofanxiety,suchasthis,areoftenexploited byclevercharlatanswhocapitalisethe superstitiousweaknessesofworried women.War-timeseemstobethe openseasonforsuperstitionmongers.
