September Days. i v Perhaps there has been a turn of drizzling rain , and grav skies following a period of dry weather: I after that things are never quite the same summer sum-mer rcalJv said good-bye to us then, though few of I us recognized it.

Those are the days of opening of seed pods, of full ripening of fruits, and, anion: insects, of that silent and mysterious change from larva to pupa raid the construction f cocoon and hibernaculum. Then also occurs that almost equally silent slipping away of many birds, as well as the passage over our heads ot hAsts of migrants to their v.inter resorts. Still all of this work is going forward so un- ' ostentatiously and quietly that, to the casual observer ob-server who walks abroad at tins reason there seems to be a lull. The cricket's chirp is far less constant, the loud and lazy trill of the cicada is rarelv heard, katydids arc getting tired of their arguments, and bird songs where arc they ( On approaching the woods it may be noticed that there is an older, more worn aspect, a duller coloring of leaf and a little more droop ct branch-let branch-let and stem. It is all this and much more, almost unconsciously absorbed, which causes the. feeling that there is a September lull in the busy out-of-door life around us, and it means sharpened senses, alert eves and ears to detect that instead there is ' a strong, steady pushing on to the fullness of the end. September !Men and Women. The Priest's Vestments. How many of our boys and girls know the names of the" vestments the priest wears at Mass, and that each one has a special significance I Baste this in your scrap book, or better still, tlx it in your memory: The vestments worn by the priest in celebrating llass are six. , 1. The Amice is a white linen veil, which the priest puts over his head and shoulders. It represents repre-sents the veil with which the Jews covered the face i of Jesus when they struck Him. o Tjie Alb is a long white linen garment which reaches to the feet of the priot. It represents the white robe that Herod in mockery, put upon Our Lord. - - 3. The Cincture or Girdle is the cord tied around the waist to hold up the Alb. It represents the cords with which Christ was bound. 4. The Maniple, worn on the left arm, repre- sents the chains put upon Our Lord, and also the handkerchief with which Veronica wiped His face. 5. The Stole is a narrow band which hangs down i from the neck and is crossed on the priest's breast. It represents the. cords with which Our Lord's neck was bound after His condemnation. It is also the distinct sign of the priestly office and is used in man;.- other ceremonies and blessings. G. The Chasuble, or outer vestment, covers the outer body of the celebrant and represents the garment with which Christ was clothed in Pilate's court. The large Cross upon the Chasuble reminds re-minds us of the Cross placed upon Christ's shoulders. shoul-ders. At Solemn Mass, the Deacon and Sub-Deacon wear vestments called Dalmatics, which resemble re-semble the Chasuble woni bv the celebrant of the Mass. September. The beljs of S:ptember are calling, Are calling all over the land, And riding down f;ist from the mountains. And hurrying back from the sand. Come the children with hands full of nosegays, And cheeks which the sunshine has tanned. The bells of September are calling. And these are the words that they say: "Come back, oh, my children, the school rooms j Have waited for many a day; Now the blackboards and fractions are ready, j And spelling books crowd in the way." j The b:lls of September are calling, I The children they answer, "We hear '. I' We're saying good-by to the country; ' Vacation is over oh, dear! Don't you think, O you bells of September, ! That you're ringing too early this year'.'" |
