Father Hanieh and two ecclesiastics. It 'was an affecting scene when the rev' father descended the altar Steps and carried Holy Communion t6 his mothér. What a sublime re- turn on the part of a grateful sen fo a devoted mother! During the mass the convent choir sang. Thé appro- priate hymns rendered by the young voices proclaimed their appreciation _ of the honor and privilege conferred by this first mass celebration. At the conclusion. the assistants received-the young priest's blessing--a blessing from hands fresh and strong in the virtue of their anointing. With our thanks and hearty con- gratulations we mingle our wish that 'Father Coyle may live many years to labor in his holy vocation, and that his example may be followed by many of the Kingston boys~--Josephine Lawlor, form IIL 'What the Moon Saw. One night as I was gazing out' of my window I thought that the 'moon seemed to be shining more brightly than usual, so I glanced up at it. What was my surprise to see the moon smiling down at me, and say- ing: '"Good-night; my little friend, why are you looking at me, as if you could hardly believe your own eyes. You think it is strange that I can speak. Not only can I speak, but I can see, and many a wondrous sight 1 witness gach night as I go.6m\my journey around the world." Before +1 could reply, the moon began its story: "One night, in the course of my travels, I looked down upon a city where lights wero shining and: the river and lake sparkling in the light that I shed on them. Of course, the city was Kingston, a city I had pass- ed over many times before. Then [ saw the lonely farmhouse on the broad prairies of the Saskatchéwans and heard the rush of rivers and the roar of waterfalls of Western Can- ada. While among the frozen snows of the north I saw the cabin of the goldseeker, and. looked in through the window at the circle of hardy miners gathered round the cheerful fireplace. Then along the Mississippi I saw the merry darkies and heard the music of the banjo as they sang and dancéd in the moonligh it. "Having left the saw below me the lovely flower gar- dens of Japan, with the colored lanterns swinging 6 and fro, and the quaint throng which crowded them. Then I found myself looking into a Chinese , temple in Pekin, where a Chinese youth was burning incense and gold-ieaf before an image. Down in India the Hindus vere bathing in the sacred waters! of the Ganges, while around Calcutta the British soldiers were gathered in groups out- side their tents, talking of honie. Then I looked down on Melbourne in Australia, where all was wrapped in slumber. Not all for I saw one lone- ly operator sending and receiving telegrams to and from different parts of the earth. Across the bar- ren land of Arabia I sped, noticing the city of Mecca, where numerous Mohammedans had gathered together to visit the tomb of their founder, Mohammed. But I had no time to stop to wonder. "Up in cold Russia I saw the &ities and towns and a great many people and soldiers in every place. I pass- ed over central Europe, and saw the voice. "Tell us a true story." "Let me see--did I ever tell--wel] "11 guess I never did, so here goes," and Grandpa Opossum puffed hard on his pipe before he continued, "One bright moonlight night when your grandma and I were young and foolish," here Grandma Opossum *blushed and got so mervous she near-- ly dropped a stitch in her knitting. "She and I went out to a yawn party." course, Weedy wanted to know what a paw-paw party was, and Grandma Opposum laughed and told him that late in the fa when the frum on the paw-paw trees were ripe ums from far and near gather under the wide spread- ing nko and have a greit party cat- ing paw-paws.

I know there has been a war, for night after night I have watched the soldiers fighting, and I know all they did. Anyway, you shall read about the airplanes flying about over: Eu- vope. 1 think the airmen saw Just . 4s much of the war as I did. In England I saw the stately manors and many a magnificent gathering of the fords o¢f: England. In a little Highland village of Scotland I saw some people gathered around an old piper, and many a veieran who had marched proudly to war in the ranks of the | Highland regiments, were, there too. Then I sped across the * 'Emerald Isle,' and saw the billows of the Atlantie | dashing against the bleak rocks 'of' Connaught. On I went over the sea, and saw its cruel" "waves dashing and wretking a little fishing boat. I knew that many an anxious face in that Irish village would see their fishermen no/more. I, only I, saw the struggling men, and I heard the last faint cry as the ocean swallowed up its prey. "Leaving the sea, 1 looked down on thousands of sparkling lights, and on looking clgser.I saw that this city of lights was New York. I saw the merry throng of people, and saw Broadway shining like one broad diamond belt. But all was not gayety in New York. 1 looked through a window in ofthe of its towering buildings and saw man writing at his desk, On his face was a look of despair, as he stopped writ- ing, rose impatiently, and looked down on the gay avgnue below and wished to throw. aside his, cares and join ithe care-free ' people of Broad- way: Then I passed on to see the glgaming waters of the St. Lawrence. 11 ed down on shining streets, on crowds of people, stately churches, and gay theatres The place was familiar. Of course, it was Mont- real; how could 1 have forgotten it? Then looking up the St. Lawrence, I saw another group of lights and the shining waters of a large lake, and 1 knew I was over Kingston again." There was silence. I rubbed my' eyes, and looked at the moon, and while I was still wondering what had happened the clock struck one. i: thought it was time for me to be in bed, and it was not leng before I was lost 'again in thé "Land of Dreams.' I was so impressed by what the moon told me that I write down for*all to read, and I hope you have enjoyed it as 1 did.--L.

Jennie said, "yes", but she went back to bed.and fell asleep. An hour later when Jennie awoke she heard a noise in the yard 'and got out of bed and went to the window and saw the family drive off, they were going to grandmother's and had left Jen- nie at home alone, She was very much disappointed, and began to cry very bitterly. She had found out whose fault it 'was and always got up when she was called. When they came home and. found her crying they told her of all the fun they had had and hoped she would do what she was told afterwards.
