ROSE OF LIMA More than three hundred years ago there lived in Lima, which is far from here. in South America., a beautiful little girl whose name wasblsabella. Her parents were among the first white people who lived in this city: they came from Spain. They named their little daughter after the great Queen of Spain, who had befriended Columbus. One day a beautiful rose appeared in the air above her as she lay sleeping in her little bed: her mother's heart was filled with joy. From that day the child was not called Isabella, but Rose. Little Rose was unlike most children. If she fell and hurt herself she would not cry. If anyone was rude or cross to her she said nothing, but suffered in silence. Our dear Lord suffered far greater things'foi iiis, she would say. Often did she pray to be kept from the sin of pride, as she was wonder- fully beautiful, and she feared that she would become vain. Very holy and pure were the thoughts which filled the mind of this lovely maiden. Her one great wish was to please our Lord and His Blessed Motherg and while she tried at all times to do this, she was ever ready to help her parents and her friends, and even strangers who might be in need. She did her best at all times, making her tasks easy by praying while she worked. Rose of Lima lived on this earth only thirty-one years. All through her last long illness she kept in mind the sufferings of Our Divine Lord: and while uttering His holy name, Jesus, jesus! she went to meet Him, Whom she loved so much and had served so well. St. Rose of Lima is the Grst saint that America gave to the Church. l-ler feast is on the thirtieth day of August. MARGARET MULLIN, Sixth Grade. FEBRUARY BIRTHDAYS February is the month of birthdays. Not only Washington and Lincoln, whose birthdays are legal holidays in many places, and the good St. ,ValePntine. but several of our favorite authors were born in this month. Among these are Charles Dickens, Henry W. Longfellow. and James Russell Lowell. St. Valentine was a priest of Rome, who was martyred in the third century. He was a very kind man, who, during many years spent'his time calling on sick people and doing deeds of kindness. When he wastoo, old to make calls, he wrote letters to carry his messages. From this custom we keep St. Valentine's day as a time for sending a little card of greeting and cheer to our friends. . Like many other feast days, St. Valentine's Day is an adaptation of an old pagan festival. The early Christians selected the accustomed day of festival and filled it with Christian ideals to eradicate the pagan superstitions. They gave the old day a new, beautiful meaning.
