Matrimonial Pointers In

an old book I ran across the
following excellent pointers on matrimony, says a writer Marrying for a home is a most tiresome way of getting a living. A marriage without love is a mockery that blushes to the skies. But money is the thing sought for. 'Matrimony is looked upon as a matter of money, and Cupid, having grown old, has (hanged his name to cupidity.

To build up a sense of family honis our around Catholic principles of one of the most certain ways keeping alive the Catholic spirit, wisely observes a writer in the Pilot. To impress upon the children the fact that they belong to a good family, which they must never disgrace by anything unworthy, gives a sense of responsibility which often remains. Too often the members of a family of evince a sore of sulking dislike their each other, as if ashamed of own blood. As they have no family honour to defend, they have no call to respectability or character. Teach the children by gentleness and a reto liance upon Catholic principle look up rather than down. Teach them all this by example-it is that Then the study of the which tells. catechism will not become the infren supportable bugbear it so the church will not assume Proves, gloomy proportions, prayer will have a meaning more than perfunctory.. Make home the hearthstone of Catholic life. Let its atmosphere be catholic, with memorials of Catholic history and devotion, teaching part upon its walls, and Catholic honks to with familiarise the young minds Catholic literature. Let the subjects turn themselves to Catholic subjects, .
and that sympathetically-not in an And offensive and carping spirit. above all, let there be at least
casional prayer together. rethings are all educative, while quiring little effort, and they serve will to raise up the children who not be ashamed of their home, who will live it wherever they go. It will make them good Catholic, honourable men and women, good citizens, and successful figures both in public and private life.
been The remark has frequently come made that the church must as dow4 to the people. It sounds strange to a Catholic as it would to say the human body must come With Cathodown to its members. lics it is impossible to separate the from the people, for the Church Church is a living body with its head, who is the Sovereign Pontiff. The spiritual life of the Church is the same in head and members, for does not enist for the the Church Pope, but the Pope for the Church, that he and the great governing body the hierarchy may give to the members altogether the treasures entrusIf coming ted to them by Christ. down to the people means entering into their ordinary life, again the Catholic Church needs not the advice, for the catholic identifies himself heart and soul in the action of the Church, since he is an integral Part of it as the hand is of the human body. In charity, she " comes great down to the People," as her institutions of beneficence demon,
the Orphans, foundlings, aged poor, the outcast, the sinner, the careless-all feel the warmth of her heart heating in sy mpathy with their own, aiding the deserving to comfort, and lifting up the fallen to newer and better lives. It is this heed between member and member in the Catholic Church that makes for her vitality and long life, for that bond is Christ our Lord Himself, who is with her all days.

that it does not cultivate the degree of accuracy that is' essential for sucwork. cess in almost every line of The merchant who employs a high school boy as bookkeeper, the man who engages a business girl as stenographer, the singer who calls on a conservatory girl for an accompaniment, all have the same complaint to Improved offer, a lack of accuracy. educational methods and more care the Part of teachers will help on some, but in the last analysis the remedy must lie with the atunents
