I A O8800IATION OF THE APOSTLE.
SHIP OF PRAEB.R
"Io Association of the Apostleship is a
as league, having for its object to pro
the glory of God, the triumph of the
iib, and the salvation of souls through
Lthe world. Its weapon is prayer er- I
ed with that peculiar strength which t
aeds from union, and that still greater I
strength which proceeds from the centre
sad bond of the league, the Sacred Heart
of Jesus. As this Association is free fromn
all pecuniary contribution, so it imposes
asootber obligation than that of an intention
by wblhh our thoughts, words and actioub
are offered up to God, as so many acts of
supplication, and which thus easily makes
our life one of continual prayer. Conse- s
quently, this Association does not interfere
with other obligations or devotions which
any one may embrace, or may be bound to
practice; nor does it burden its members
with additional devotions. Its specific feat
are consists in the spirit with which it ani
mates the actions of its members, a spirit t
immensely beneficial to themselves and to
othersa
The Associates of this Apostleship enjoy, f
besides the privilege of the copious indul
genees mentioned in the tickets of admis
sion, a special participation in the merits
of several religions orders, that is, a parti
cular share in the merits of the good works,
prayers, mortifications, apostolic labors, c
ete.i performed by the members of those a
religious orders.

Summary of Oraces Recorded During The Past the
Year.
At the opening of the New Year, we fan
submit to your notice, kind readers, a tog
summary of the graces which the bMessen- me
ger of the Sacred Heart of Jesus has
chronicled during the past twelve months.
If you but read the record you will learn
a two-fold lesson and arrive at a twofold V
csanclusion. First, it is a truth and oh, Eai
how consoling! that in all their wants and reg,
woes, afflictions and miseries, the friends of as a
Jesus do not apply in vain to the riches of "F(
His Divine Heart for succor and relief, pap
redress and consolation. But secondly the
how sad is the fact, that few, very few are imp
they, who are acquainted with the benea- eqo
olence of the Heart of Jesus, the extent of sine
Its power, Its goodness and compassion. is
We know, that many and great are the Eno
miseries that hover over the earth ; that it ble
is full of failure and disaster, of disappoint- E ir
ment and dissatisfaction, of battle and Imp
strife. And yet we can only repeat what tory
we have so often declared before, there is beer
a sure remedy for every ill, a solace for bete
every woe, in the devout, unremitting snot
appeal to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus. that
In Its recesses the trembling prince may hani
fnd an asylum, and the sullen masses that that
threaten rain and disorder learn peace and. Kinj
contentment; there boiling passions are the I
tempered and wrongs are righted; there spre
sufferings cease asd joys prevail. The Con
poor become rich, and the rich, renowned; sion
and all, in a word, finm that in the Sacred to of
Heart, they are filed with good things. omy
We have but one wish, that of seeing the In I
Sacred Heart's treasures more largely 1323
distributed, and if this desire be granted, for
we shall next year be enabled to record a from
ichoer harvest of graces. four
VOCATION TO TIIE FAIThI. ride
Most heartfelt thanks have been return
ed to the Sacred Heart for the conversion
to the faith of seventy-nine icdividlua'e tra
and three families, recommended to the mar
association of the Apo-tleship, besides a
number of others whose names have not bagg
been sent us. Of the seventy-nine the stein
uajority were Protestants, some were bag
infidels, and one was a Jewees whoses con- s
verslon was granted almost miraculously 13
hortly after she had beee recommended. ar
ome of these conversions were accompsan
ad by remarkable circumstances; as, for ct t
lstance, a happy death following their eng
aptism; or the advanced age of the con- thin
erts. Of the latter we would mention a the I
•utheran woman who received the gift of in li
aith at the age of seventy-four, a colored froz
an at the age of eighty and a Scottish of I
obleman of one hundred and two. To the
hese we must add the frequent cases of cold
nversions of individuals on their death- and i
ad followed by a happy death. Intt

weeks after prayers had been offered for it.

re PIaITUAL ORACEl AND OTHER FAVORS.
To give a detailed account of the favors
conta'ned under this heading would take
too much space. It will be enough for us
to state that sincere thanks have been ren
of dered to the Sacred Heart and to the mem
bers of the Association for many favors,i
over eight hundred of which have been
e specified; fort. -cue times thanks were
returned for many favors, especially spir
itual. Of the tavors soecified eleven
referred to removal of difiiultles of vari
one kinds; eleven to the finding of lost
children; eight to reconciliation among
it the members of a family and other persons;
five to obtaining situations; five more
referring to preservation from danger; ten
to happy and edifying deaths; three to
safe voyages; two to successful missions.
Favors also have been acknowledged by
six Sodalities, four Congregations, one
Academy and by some Communities, It is
worthy of note that the mouth of the Ss
cred Heart (June) is the one in which more
abundant graces are recieved than in any
other of the year. To this general state*
ment we shall add some more noteworthy .
particulars. In[a one of our correspondence
we have thanks for favors granted to two I
families and for hundreds of special favors, t
spiritual and temporal, received after they C
h.td been recommended in the Messenger.
Another asks thanks for the establishment
of the Apostleship in all the Societies and c
schools of a parish, and another acknow
u ledgel a signal favor suppo3nd to be a!m st t
s unattainable, and granted ahority after it
was reconimeade1l.

*. SEVERE WINTERS IN EUROPE. de

ll What passes in England and Continental hi
J, Europe for "a severe winter" would be as
d regarded in the Northern States and Canada ar
of as a comparatively mild and open season. wi

it ble severe winters there have been in Oc
- E irope, not a few of which have had their bo
d importance as well as their interest in his- the
t tory. In 401 the Brack Sea is said to have Ja
a bees frozen over for twenty days, and sni
r between Octoher 763, and February 764, at
Ssnoch a frost prevailed at Constantinople off
I. that the seas are-spoken of as frozen for a a l

D In 1291 the Categat was frozen over; in
r 1323 the Baltio was passable to travellers I
for six weeks; again in 14102 it was frozon sea

and in 1691 the winter brought the welves there
into the streets of Vienna, where they poin
attacked horses and even men. thirt
The cold seasons of modern England on I
have been most carefully noted, with an "Q t4
abundance of interesting details. On sans
Midsummer Day, 1035, it is said that the want
frost destroyed all the fruits of the earth; than
in 1076-7-after the period of forty-one lica
years that the writer ir the Gardener's forbi
Ohronicle has been figuring out-there (that
were dreadful frosts from November to hold
April, and in 1407 all the small birds per- draw
ished. The Thames was frozen from Lon- Ca
don Bridge tV Gravesend from November nnivi
24, 1434, till February 10, 1435, and in 1515 Sorel
-after the long cycle of eigh'y years had step
been faltilled-it was again crossed by that
vehicles between Lambeth and Westm!u- atten
ster. In 1564 and 1697 the river was the grapl
wo scene of bonfir and diversions, elabo.
it. rately described on later occasions by
c- writers whose passages are as familiar to
1l, English readers of this day as the stories
r; of the Great Plague and Great Fire. Some
g- Shakepearean commentators think that
es they halve found in this unwonted scene of
ir- fre upon ice the source of the inspiration
tat of some of the Bard of Avon's images, and
ag would use this as evidence to settle the
ka date of the composition of a play. The
r- winter of 1683-4 was terribly cold. "The
m. forest trees and even the oaks split by the
frost; most of the hollies were killed;
the Thames was covered with ice eleven
inches thick, and nearly all the birds per
r isbed." "The frost," according to a citi
re sen's diary, "began in the middle of
's December. The people kept trades on the
2 Thames as in a fair till February 4, 1694
I About forty coaches daily plied on the
Sl Thames as on dry land. Banght this book
an t a shop upon the ice in the middle of the

was a three months frost with heavy snow,
and in 1716 a fair was held on the Thames
and oxen were roasted whole upon the ice.
it '"Caches plied from Westmicster to the
*g Temple, and from other stairs to and fro
; as in the streets, as that it seemed to ime a
7 Bacchanalian triumph, or carnival on the
" water, while .t was a severe judgment on
0 the land." Again,. in the famous "hard
s winter of 1741i, there, was another Frost
y Fair on the Thames which lasted for nine
e weeks, during which period coaches plied
is regularly on the frozen surface and the
a usual amusements were enjoyed. It was
e in this winter that the famous ice palace
y with all its furniture of nature's crystal 1
was built on the ice at St. Petersburg.
y December, 170., was remarkably cold;
e on Christmas Day the thermometer in
0 London marked 16 degrees below zero,
, the greatest cold registered up to thatitime.
Y On the thirteenth of January, 1810, the
quicksilver was frozen solid at M.,scow. I
t T'he winter of 1812, during which N polo
d on's armyv struggled home from Russia, I
leaving 4130,000 dead men to mark the
track it had taken, was a very cold one.
The saldiers were literally frozen stiff in
circles as they lay or sat round their
bivouac fires. In 1814 England endurttd a
winter of ezcoptional severity. The pr
treeve of Taviayeck sot out to taite t!!
oath of office at the quarter sessions, tiil, ly,
two miles away, arid, Ias the "Annuvl t
r Register" records, was & rnri-d by snow I
f and ice after proceeding twenty-one lIles I
and imprisoned in a little ham!et for a
twenty -six days without communication 8
with the outer world. Soldiers marching a
from town to town were frozen to death on
the road. The snow drifted in the streets a
to such a height that all the shops were a
closed; by the middle of January Lindon t
Bridge was blocked, but that made no
difference, for the Thames was completely o
frozen over a few days later, when a Frost b
Fair was opened on the river and a bal- t0
lock roasted whole. For many days there o
were no mails, though the post-office put SI
forth all its powers to compel oveeseers
and parochial authorities to clear the high- fi
ways, and sent agents down into the 0
counfryr to dig roads along which toiled L
mail coaches drawn by ten horses. No t
coal could get to London, and when the a
householder's supply of fuel gave out there h
was nothing for him to do but to shiver a:d b
wait. It was difficult even to reach thlo t
butcher shop where there were neither ci
fowls nor vegetables to be had. In 1860 I
England experienced probably her coldest w
weather. From the 233 to the 30.h of P
December the cold was intense. At Tor- b
quay the mercury went down to 20 degrees Iii
below zero. In Hyde Park it was at 17
degrees, and a letter in the Times recorded Pi
that a horse had been seen "with icicles at at
his nose three inches in length and as thick 5l
as three fingers," a sight by no means 8a
uncommon in Lower Canada. The Thames el
was partially frozen in its tidal reaches, as
and from Teddington Lock to its most re- eq
mote sources was covered with ice from six bh
to ten or even twelve inches in thickness. gr
Skating parties were arranged for journeys th
from Oxford to London and back, and the as
year in question will always be memorable ar
among skaters as the one in which round- Si!
heeled irons finally, superseded all others. gr
On the 9sh of January, 1861, there were rel
bonfires and grand displays of fireworks on lo
the ice in St. James'e and the other parks. Im
January, 1867, was another cold month, sol
snow and ice practically suspending tradle i
at London for several days, though people the
offered cabmen fares of 15 and 20 shillings cot
a mile. It was on the 15th that the ice in cul
Regent's Park gave way beneath some 500 an

E THE ANTI-CATHOLIC OATH IN CANA IDA
Canada's new Governor was called upon
to take an oath, aimed specially at Catho
lice, to the effect that no foreigner has a
right to have any jurispletion, spiritual or
ecolesiastical, in the realm ; and one would
suppose from its wording ttat the Catholic
Church had no recognizedr-tooting in the
Dominion.
Such a formula is wholly absurd in a
country in which the Catholic Church has
a million and a half adherents; outnum
bering the Church of England by more
than three to one; in which the Governor
General has constantly received Catholic
Bishops as esoch, honoring the late Apos
tulie Delegate as a representative of the
Holy See; and in no part of which a royal
exeqfuatur is necessary to enrable a Bishop
to eater into full possession of the tempo
ral and spiritual prerogatives of his c,.e.
In a large portion of Canada, says the St.
John Freeman, the Catholic iseoeuntialiy
an established Cinorc,.
The absurdity of the oath was made
evident by the course of the new Govern
or himself in the recognition shown to t!,o
Archbishop of Halifax, during the festivi
ties of his installation as Governor, and in
the visits made by the vice-regal party to
Catholic institutions.
As a relic of past intolerance, the oath
is a bald anachronism ; as a statement of
fact, it is a plain falsehood ; and as an oath
proscribing the faith which gave the DJ
minion its Christianity and civilization,
it is an insult to tho majority of the popu
latioun.

reason and so great exaggeration are so
frequently brought.
