The announcement in The Times that Al
non Sunday last Father HLeinan, of Manch vera

called 'miracle" on Mise (reth, of Read- Burp

he had been doped, caused gloat excite- garu,

Mass at Father lleinani's church was very and
large. After Mass the priest said that le in tl
bheld in his hand a letter from Archbishop out
Wood, which lie was commanded to read. polo
Without further comment he read as fol- cost

closed without further comment upon tile jrw

as a loyal churchman was never again to ,i

Father ounce's congregation was also an fire
eunsually large one, and he read the same can

Bunce added, "That is all that the Arch- the
bishop had to say about the matter, and he del
asks that no further comment be made Th
upon it by any one else." Later lie added eta
that it would not be unfair for him to say in

He speaks of tho people of Israel, He ase ;:
"I1 will be tlheir God; I will be in the
f midst of them. 1 wilt give them every
r grace and every gift," and He tells as that
He will crown His graces by putting His
I Name upon them-"and My Name aslall be
Samongst them." When the inspired Evan
s gelist wants to describe to us the glory of
heaven and the brightoess of God's saints,
he tells us that the highest glory in heaven
will be to have the name of God written
r upon our foreheads. "For I beheld a:,

u followed the Lamb, for they were the first
a fruits of the Lamb, ald they had His Name
and ilis Father's Name written upon their

I-',r it true Canltiolic, life is a long bettle
-ii tea'tle with hlii rltf. and a batlhle with
the world, with the old oneuly of C( d niad
manskinlld in the beckgronnd, directing the
movemlents and ordering the tight. It is
I true that by all mee, Catholics or not, the
f same battle has to be fought and the. same
a main inters its are at stake. IThe reIl dif
ference consists in the knowledaeemle Atan
le has of the nature of the tight, the cause for
which he is fighting, and of the enemies he
it has to encounter. On these ponl;t all
Catholics who know their religion are
it agreed. Men of other denominatious, or
is of none, are apt to slip through life more
to easily, to take things as they come, to be
as their neighbors are, or as they cioui:dcr
their neighbors would have them to be, and
to let the hereafter take care of itsedl. They
live tin and think life made for the present
nt chiefly ; and they rule their lives so as to
ud make the present pass as pleasantly as it
re ma'y.
ht Catholics cannot take- this easy view of
. , w h a t -ife i s = ni e n m 'nn
cd and its value, for what and b} whimn it was
e given, and to what and ti i whn it must
n itend. They know that they are redeemed
he children of God, whose mn'aion it i., each
&, one in his degree, to spread the kingdom
of God on earth, and the kingdom of God
is still very far from being spread on earth.
The earth, as represent-d by the govern
monts of the world and the religions of the
world, rejects the kingdom of God, refuses
fealty to it, and i-, a great measure denies
God alto.ether. Who are to change this
condition of manu's minds unless Castholics
And how can Catholics bring about so sto
pendous a change, unless they are zealous,
good in their lives, devoted to God's set
vice, and posseesed with the love, the fear
and the knowledge of God.
In tbhe world to-day,- the nations that
once composed the Christian family role;
and in those nations Catholics, though
oppressed by various governments and
thwarted in every way, are still very
strong-strong in numbers, strong in worth
and invincibly strong in faith and right
principles. Before the kingdom of God
can be spread over the earth, the powers
that rule tihe earth must be won back to
their old allegience. We-e what was
Christendom one to day-one in faith and
doctrine, and even moderately trune to that
faith and doctrine-who can doubt but
that the Gospel, whose progtreFs is now so
tardy and difficult, would, with t'te in
cteased means of iateorcomnitunieatiVn be
twreio men at`d nations, tahti the wings of
the eagle and fly to the utterma'st parts of
tho earth1
Nor does the hard battle that a trn
Catholic mnst undergo, at all imply that
tle must necessarily be hard, harsh, and
oriovely. Quite the contrary. The man,
srnd the wan alone, who lives a true Chris
tian life has a quiet conscience; and a
-quiet conscience alone can .,ring cot-fidence
and peace, "that peace which the world
annot eave, which passeth all human un
man nuderstar dig," and whlch was
"Chri-t's last legacy to them that believe in
Himn.
Loe,*.fillou. in his "Psalm of life," sogc
of "the rapture of the strife." Mecauley
wakes an olJ Roman ask:
" How oa. a man die brtter
1Ltha b; iaing fearfrl odds
Far the a-sbes olr his fathers
And the temples or his gods 1'"
The epectacle of a brave man strugg!ing
under adversity, was thought by the old
pagans to be the spectacle most pleasing
to the gods. Indeed, through all nature
and all timc.s and all peoples, rune the
thought that life without struggle is inglo
rior', vat', and not worth living. The
gloater the stake, the heavier the odds, the
nobler the cause, t'he more sublime and
more inspiriting the strugglc.
Even unobservant men cannot help notic
ing the change going ou to day in the
midst of civilized people. The d fl'rrences
that split up the Christian ca:.p three cen
tunrle ag,, have almost run their course.
They have exhausted themselves, wolt
theotselves cut, and there remaies ncothing
for men of saith or an inclination to faith,
to fall back upon but the old faith from
which t'aeir fathers parted and which has
st,,od one, 'wholly untouclhed, unchanged
and unchtngueable throughout. But men
do not change cherished convictions easily,
evuti if those ctnvi'bona nue r.3ug. iuey
mua, have the strongest of miotives to urge
them to do sn. 'Yon prettee to prteach and I
practice a higher form of religion than
ours," an can we.L imagine a reasoning
non-Catholic to say, "well let us see it.
Show it to as in your lives, in your works,
in your intelligence, I ackn;;wledge there
are very good U3atholice; out are there no
good Proteetots? Perhaps, if apro rata
eoumeratiuu were taken, thoe fatholice
woc:d make a better sbow than the Pro
tes:a.t4. lint is th:is enough ? I meet
Cathulics in bod;ness asn I find very little
d.lfereoce on the whole betwetn thee- and
on-Cathollice. They drive just as hard a
bargain ; they are joat as eager f.r gain;
some of them rto just na masciupulous
about mite means of attaining their end.
They love mousy as much as we do; they
love themselves ; they love pleasure.
Take them as a body, are they so very
manch hbtter than otherse Why, then,
should I change foy religion for one that
would leave me much as before 7"
We are here, of course, giving the pos
sible views of a fair minded Protestant,
and it is a very natural way of looking at
mattera. He goun on the theory, apnd he
has the beat authority for doing so, that
"by their fruits ye shall know them."
Still, it must not be forgotten, that even
granting his position, he is regarding,
after all, only what is really a side issue,
even though it be a very important one.
The question is what is the true religion 1
All other questions must yield to that in
primary importance. Even though all the
world, professing to hold and to follow
truth, were wrong, the man who in his
heart and soul, and after using all the
means that God has given him to find truth,
is convinced that he has found it, must em
brace it, let the world wag as it will ; must
preach it, at least in his own life and con
duct. To faith Christ promised that it
should move mountains; but faith means
much more than a mere intellectual assent.
The man who says in his heart: "I believe
in God," and says it every day, and feels
ita deep meafting, will live constantly in
the presence of God, nor feel his life dark
r ened, nor his faculties chilled, nor his every
day work less practical or real, for living
l ..i ,a .l-;no in th a-t nrem ene. iBrit h11

O' the day of his vlsctior to oc.upy the lobir
of St. P'etr, the late Pope wrote the follow:ig
letter to his brothers at inaigaglia:
"Jus 16, ir46.
Most Dearly Ino'oved Ilrothers:
God, the blessed one, who hLmbleth and ex
altoth, has been p!eaaed to raise me, who am so
b:se', to the highest dignity on earth. His
most holy will be evermore done. I know in
same measure the a'most bonadlesa weight of
such a charge, and know equally my poverty,
unot to speak of the itter cotbingness of my
spirit. Cuone prayers to be offered up, and
pray for me yourselves. The Conclave has last
ed 44 hours. If the city of Banigaglia should
like to go to some expenao in the way of demon
Strations, on this occasion. I request that you
will take measnres-indeed I desire that te
sim to be expended be all laid oat in things
nseful for the city, in the judgment of the
mayor and the council. As to ya2, n.y dea
tirotheit, I embrace you both heartily in Jesus
Christ. Far from exulting. rather compassion
