THE POPE AND THE ROSARY.
Thorc are various signs of deep and tender feeling in the Encyclical on the Rosary which the Holy Father has ju>t published. It is quite evident he is anxious that the promotion of devotion to the Blessed Virgin through the Ro-ary should bo one of the most notable features cf his Pontificate. In language full of pathos he declares that whilst life las s he will never oease to oolebrute the praises of the Blessed Mother, and as his days are now fast drawing to a he desires to repeat to every G-itholic the touch'n* words which Our Lord addressed from the Cross to His beloved disciple, " Son, behold thy mother." His Holiness, it is stid, regards this Encyclical as his testament with roapeot to the Rosary. It certaiu'y is a worthy continuation of a noble series of document on this subject from the pen of Leo XIII., and whether the remainder of his reign be long or short, he will be mentionod in history as one of the Pontiffs who have been most successful in spreading amongst the faithful the pious practice of the Rosary. —Catholic 'limes.
