Bishop Ryan, of St. Louis, in his Len
ten Pastoral takes ground far above the
mere minutiae of bread and meat and
gives advice, the spirit of which may be
found profitable to the devout of other
communions as well as to those of his
own. lie says: "We also again remind
von that the season of Lent is sanctified
not only by fasting and abstenauce and
penitential observance, but a.so by a spir
it of prayer, by more frequent attend
ance at Divine worship and religious ser
vices. by more regular and lengthy fami
ly devotions, by avoiding worldly dissi
pation and all unnecessary idulgence. In
all the churches during Lent there will be
special instructions and devotional exer
cises, such as Stations of the Cross and
Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament,
and the clergy will a fiord all an opportu
nity of approaching the Sacraments. We
hope that no one will be found to neglect
t he I'aschal Communion, which is of strict
obligation within the Easter time, t!.e
first Sunday of Lent and Trinity Sunday,
and as each pastor, in the yearly account
of his mission, is required to report the
number of those who neglect their East
er duty, we will indulge the hope that the
number of those who are Catholics only
in name, who despise the gifts and gra
ces of Clod and forfeit all right and title to
and pribileges of membership in Clod's
Holy Church during life atul after death
will be shown to he very small and year
ly growing less. These holy Sacraments
are tile channels through which How unto
our souls from the Saviour's fountains
the water of life; they are by (I id's ap
pointment the sources of supernatural
grace; through them we jut made par
takers of the merits of Christ. Let no
one, then, through carelessness or neg
lect deprive himself of what our Blessed
Lord lias purchased for him at the price
of His very life, for 'you were not re
deemed with corruptible things as gold
or silver, but with the prescious blood of
Christ.' "
Spurgcon has been saying something
worth rcnmibering on publ c ptave:^which
he thinks is olLtn conducted ill it very
slovenly niiinncr. He says: --It is my
solemn conviction that the prayer is one
of the most weighty, useful and honora
ble parts of the sen ice and that it ought
to be even more considered than the ser-
mon. There must be no putting up any
bodies or nobodies to pray and then the
selection of the abler man to preach.
Appoint the ablest man to pray and let
the sermon he slurred, rather than the
approach to heaven." The Mrxsomjcr
adds: "The idea prevails that extempo
raneous prayers in public are necessarily
spiritual, because, as is alleged, they arc
sure to come fVsm the heart. This is not
however to be taken for granted. Leav
ing ;dl hypocrisy or self-deception out of
tliequestion, the oldest and best Christ
ians olten fiihl themselves so flurried al-
ter years of experience that their heart's
desires are distuibed. They find it hard
to get I'd of embarrassments which out-
Nvatvl Oppressions impose, and the most
pious nud learned divines have confessed
Ihe difficulty. In fact, the sense of this
difficulty has nearly always been in pro
portion to 1 the gift the men have had for
public prayer, and only self-sufficient per
sons have thought they could perform the
work to the satisfaction of God and man."
How is the difficulty to he got -over?
Some people would suggest the use of a
printed ritual a- an easy solution. This
meets part of tlie objection, but trot all.
Xi\en with a comprehensive form of pray
er it is not always parcticable to meet
every desire that the petitioner fishes
to put up to the Throne of Grace.
No man: ever fails on great occasions
who schools himself day by day in the
faithful and conscientious doing of life's
common duties.—/Vo/. Codditujton.

j FEW FACTS
in regard to the
[White
Sewing
Machine,
! It is an acknowledged fact that the
! White Sewing Machine now stances pre
; eminent among lirst-class machines, for
; its simplicity and light-running qualities.
It is a mechanical fact that the White
! Sewing Machine is made from the best
| material and of excellent workmanship,
; and all its wearing parts are adjustable,
l so that lost motion can be "taken up" in
| an instant.
i It is an undisputed fact that the dura
; bility of the White Sewing Machine is
j sustained by a written warranty for live
years.
It is a progressive fact that the White
embodies the most practical and useful
improvements of other sewing machines,
together witji advantages peculiarly its
own.
It is a money-making fact that th
i White is the easiest-selling selling ma
chine in the market, and therefore all
wide-awake dealers make it their specialty.
It is a gratifying fact that the White
gives universal satisfaction, and that it is
steadily and rapklly increasing In public
favor.
CAUTION,
Do wot be imposed upon by agents and parties
who are interested in the purchase and sale of other
machines. It has become a common trick for un
scrupulous competitors to get a White machine and
put it in bad order so that they might prejudice pur
chasers against it. and in favor of their own machines.
To guard against such contemptible trickery, we
advise all intending purchasers to correspond with
us direct, and we will take pleasure in giving them
the address of a regular authorized dealer for the
"White" in their county, or wo will offer to sell
them a machine direct at special prices, and guaran
tee satisfaction in every respect.
