Tin: li.viK pope. In exhorting the elders of the church, of whoni he was one, St. Peter says: Feed the lloek of Cod which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind; neither as being lords over Clod's heritage, hut being ensatuples to the flock. 1 1 there ever was a man who tried to measure up to this standard it was Pius X. In his will he said: I was horn a poor man, lived a poor man and wish to die a poor man. I beg the holy see to grant a pension ol $ 12 monthly to my sisters." These words, from the head of the most numerous body of Christians, and the most powerful church in tlie world, preach a much-needed sermon. They also afford another lofty proof of the exalted Christian character of th<* man who spoke them. He was not one of the "lords over Cod’s heritage.’’ There was nothing of that spirit in him. He belonged rather in the ranks of "Ihe holy and humble of heart.” We are quite unable to see why even the fiercest Protestant should not recognize the noble traits of this good man, and lie thankful that a great church had so worthy a head. ' Not. long before the pope died the Austrian ambassador to Italy asked him to bless Austria-Hungary and her armies. -His answer was: "1 bless peace.” And he died blessing peace, and praying for it. Is there a man in the world who would not rejoice to see the prayer answered, or one who does not. in his heart feel that peace is the most blessed thing that can come to men or nations? It was the psalmist who said: “The Lord shall give His people the blessing of peace.” The pope lived poor and died poor, lived a peasant and died a peasant,. And his last prayer ‘was, not for victory for any nation, but for peace for all nations. So he was not one of ‘‘the lords qv** God’s heritage,” but one of the ‘‘ensampies to the flock. - Indianapolis -Sews. 1
