Build ye no churches to my praise Lift not the lofty fane, No clouds of smothering incense raise My honor to maintain. Within man's heart the house of prayer Reared by a Father's hands. And open to the healthful air, A wind-swept altar stands. But would ye build a house of earth In which I love to dwell, Where thoughts that own a heavenlv ' birth Like music rise and swell. Look where with chisel and with plant-Wrought plant-Wrought He, whose glory now Fills heaven, yet did that glory deign At man's command to bow. Obedient to a parent's word, True to a parent's claim. Checking the mighty hopes that stirred. Till the great summons came. Seek not My blessing to secure With steeple or with dome. Build ye the cottage of the poor-God's poor-God's temple is the home. E. D. Stone, in Spectator. Half of Their Religion. The Methodist brethren still seem to consider it a religious duty to denounce de-nounce the Catholic church whenever an opportunity presents itself. Their hatred for Rome is at least half of their religion, and without it their organization would soon disintegrate and decay. The True Voice. Rudder and Compass. For the Catholic family of today with an ocean of secular newspapers, periodicals, "large edition novels" and countless pamphlets about it the Catholic paper is the rudder and compass com-pass of all who would follow the true line and reach the right destination. Pittsburg Catholic. Should Be Removed. "Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable," which is found on the shelves of many of our public libraries, should be removed. It vilifies Catholics. Catholic Federation Bulletin. At 4 in the Morning. The hour of 4 a. m. has something mysterious about it. Cocks crow, people peo-ple on the brink of death give up the ghost, every one who is asleep sleeps sounder, and even the watchful -ceniry can't always keep his eyes open. At this hour people are in their weakest state, and if life is just on the nicker it is not surprising that it goes out. Many a man's life has been saved by a spoonful of ammonia administered just I when the clock strikes 4. The period of deepest sleep varies from 3 to 5 o'clock. An hour or two after going to bed j-ou sleep very soundly, then your slumber grows gradually lighter, and it is easy enough to waken you at 1 or 2 o'clock. But when 4 o'clock ccmes you are in such a state of somnolence som-nolence that you would take no notice of the end of the world. |
