time passing him the letter.
"Some tot, who haa faith such ae

Well, I guess St. Joaeph knows

The gentleman read the letter,

WORK TO BE DONE BY
THE CATHOLIC LAITY.
In view of the present trouble
which has come upon the Church
in France, every word which
serves as an inspiration to the
Catholic laity in thia country to
be alert in the defense of Church
intereats should have a respect-
ful hearing. For we in America
can not wrap ourselves up in a
mantel of aelf-righteouanees and
pretend there is no hint or warn-
ing to us In the events that are
transpiring in France. Biflhop
Conaty had something to say
recently before the Loe Angeles
branches of the Catholic Federa-
tion which is worthy of attention.
He said in part:—
“The Catholic layman has al-
ways contributed an element to
the strength of the Church or-
ganization and has always been
recognized as one of the forces
leading to religious results. While,

St. Sebastian, the layman, an of- |
ficer of the army, was an in- ’
a true tor in religion, a defender of
the Church and its doctrine, al-
ways realizing that he owed a
duty to the faith which was in
him. Fabiola, whose beautiful
life is immortalized by Cardinal
Wiseman’s classic novel, Fabiola,
the noble lady of Rome, is a type
of womanhood in those early
Cb-istian days; interested in the
development of the Church, zeal-
ous in defense of the faith and
ever in her social circles ardent
in her teaching of Christianity.
Exemplars of Lay Effort
“The glories of the Church in
the days of Constantine, the
progress of the Church among
the barbarian nations, the de-
velopment of Christianity in early
European life, are associated not
only with the zeal and devoted-
ness of the priesthood, but with
the equally great zeal and devot-
ednose of the laity. The days of
the Crusades were full of the i
zeal and love of laymen who,
hearing the appeal of Peter the
Hermit, and St. Bernard, accept-
ed sacrifice and even death in
their attempt to wrest the Holy !

more than a
ands of distinguished laymen,
who in more modern days have
exemplified in themselves their
conscientious appreciation of the
laymen's duty to the Church and
to society. Columbus, the father
of the new world, stands beside
Las Casas, the monk—layman
and priest, equally entitled to the
rank of apostolic men whose
lives were actuated by the noble
desire of promoting the glory of
God and extending the Kingdom:
of Christ; Sir Thomas More in I
his not)Io dt&nd tho f
passions of Henry VIIL, Daniel
O'Connell leading millions of
Irish people in the name of Faith
and Fatherland, winning from a
hostile Parliament the emancipa-
tion of the Catholics of the king-
dom; Frederick Ozanam, the or-
ganizer of the lay apostolate of
charity; Windthorst, establish-
ing the Center party in Germany,
and, by it, forcing the repeal of
the Falk laws; Charles Carroll of
Carrollton, the tower of strength
to the Church and Republic in
the days of the Revolution;
Orestes A. Brownson, in later
days, by the strength of his irre-
sistible logic winning minds
and hearts to God; Louis Pas-
teur, in his laboratory uniting
religion and science; Frederick
Lucas, William George Ward,
James A. McMaster, John Boyle
O’Reilly,and John Gil a ary Shea,
aa journalists and historians, re-
futing falsehood and expounding

names of distinguished laymen

chief request—remained unan-

some wanting several things, St.

confused, and no doubt in this

About this time Frank Ivers I of the Revolution in France, and
- of to-day. When the layman is
made to feel that the Church
depends upon the priest and not
upon the priest and the layman,
when the layman Is deceived by
the false teaching of those who
would create an antagonism be-
tween the ecclesiastic and the
layman, when the faults of the
clergy are magnified and their
virtues minimized, when, in fact
religion is made to appear as
dependent upon every individual,
then, indeed, the tie that binds
che layman to the Church is
weakened, the ground is practi-
cally taken from under his feet
and religion loses its hold upon
him.
Lay Defender* of the Faith.
“The history of the Church is
filled with the deeds of laymen
who at different times in its his-
tory have stood in the front rank
as exemplars and defenders of
Catholic faith. From the days

Frank took the paper and read:
“Dear St. Joseph, I am one of
' the girls who have just made a
novena to you. There were so
many of us asking all at once
that I am afraid you did not un-
derstand all of us very well.
You did not give me what I want-
ed, so here I tell you again and
put this letter where you cannot
forget it. I want a situation for
my brother Frank, he is twenty
and he is through going to col-

away, just as soon aa you can
