Catholic Church under Queen Eli-

members of this sect undertook t<>
restore the ceremonies of their an-
cestors when they were mem hers
of the Catholic Church and began
to use the vestments and even the
ritual of Holy Mass. Thfa is car-
ried on to-day in many places of

those who love Catholic practices

Holy Eucharist and Penance, uponi^^,
which development ot tbe spiritual^

impossible without tbe Priesthood.
It is certain that Almighty God
wants the young men ot Texas'
Catholic homes to share in the dig-
nity and happiness which attaches
to the administration ot these sac-
raments, and the other ministries ot
the Sacred Priesthood. ThaJ. La
Porte has been doing a good work
for the Diocese and its people ia
clear from the fact that about
thirty-five priests, one-half ot those
now laboring here, were ordained
from St. Mary'a Seminary; and thir-
ty ot these •finished their studies un-
der the guidance ot those now in
charge.
And, so, adequate provision must
be made for the preparation of
those who have God’s call, and '
await only our - encouragement to
enter worthy and zealous laborers
Into tbe Lord's vineyard. Our very
name of Catholic forbids that our
religious interest be hound by
the limits, or the present needs of
our parish. The Diocese, not the :
perish, provides the priest; and tjie

We do not sufficiently study the
remarkable offices of Holy Church,
so redolent of spiritual fragrance,
sc bright with celestial loveliness.
What a gem of sparkling radiance
is the antiphon ’for the Candlemas
procession:
"Adorn thy chambers, O Sion,
and receive Christ the King; in
love consider Mary, who fa the gate ;
of heaven; for she bears the gjor- 1
ions King of ths new light; remain- 1
ing ever a Virgin, she brings in 1
her hands the Son begotten before !
the day-star.” <
Lot us, then, keep blessed can- 1
dies always In our homes, and glad- i
l<r do our share in providing those 1
to be used in church, at Mass and '
Benediction,
our Blessed Lord in the Sacrament
ot Hfa love, and surround ourselves
with thingB that have been sancti-
fied and made help-giving by the
blessing ot the Church.
Catholics, however, are not satfa-
ified with this alone. We should
make on this festival an ottering ot
readies for tbe service of the al-
tar. And these candles must be
