SHOWS HIS FAITH.

On the street or riding in the' car we happen to pass a Catholic church, and a man walking along or sitting in the seat near us lift his hat, says the Pittsburg Catholic, it is the mystic sign ! - Blank; stranger though he be, whom we.never laid eyes On before, with-

out speaking a word, without opening his ■ mouth or as much as glancing -our l way, even, he has conveyed a message to us; He, has -said he is one of us, a member of that Church spread; throughout the - world. B He has said he is a. Catholic. y V C S :■ To others beholding the action it may mean nothing. They think, perhaps, he raises his hat to replace it more comfortably or that it is but a little gesture of nervousness. But to one of the universal faith or to one who has ever belonged to , it the ' action ; means but one thing, has but one significance, is as- unmistakable as one’s hand—it proclaims that the person performing it believes in the Sacrament <of the Eucharist, is openly professing that belief-- and paying a tribute of adoration as he passes the church.
