Lack Faculty Of Repose.

Professor Eustace 81. Miles, former
ly lecturer at Cambridge university,
England, and the head authority on
athletics in that institution, contrib
utes to the Saturday Evening Post, n
leading article ON the "Fallacies About
Training" In the course of it he
writes:
ga serious evil in the modern, training
system is the constant tension of the
nerves and muscles. At Cambridge 1
used to watch my athletic pupils and
none of them seemed to have acquired
the power of repose. They were al
ways on the stretch. When the time
came near. for instance, for the uni
versity boat race or the football match,
the tension reached an extreme, and
the men seemed quite unable to be at
their ease. 1t is strange that while
the trainers perpetually teach their men
to exercise, and try to teach them how
to exercise, they never teach them to
rest. The whole of nature seems to
work on the principle of alterations;
first work, then rest. We see it in the
day and night; in breathing out and
breathing in. need not give other
instances, many Of which can be found
in one of Emerson's essays. What I
wish to insist on here is that, while we
teach men to exert themselves and to
strive and to tie themselves up in knots
We seldom or never teach them to re-
lax themselves, to be at rest and undo
their nerves and muscles. It is Amer
leans especially who need to relax, to
smooth themselves out, and, for exam
pie, to let their arms and hands hang
limp and heavy. If the business man
were to give up only three minutes
each day to standing with his knees
bent, and with his arms hanging down
quite loose and limp and with con-
tented smile on his face, and with his
mind empty as possible, the difference
in his state Of feeling during the day
would be almost beyond belief

Shakopee, Minn.-The recital at the
opera house Tuesday, Nov. 6, under
the auspices of st. Mary's church, was
one OF the leading social events of the
season, and the success which attend
ed every detail reflects great credit on
the tact and enterprise of Rev. Father
O'Connor. who had all, the arrange
ments under personal supervision; and
1t is also gratifying to all to note that
Shakopee responds so readily and gen.
erously to an invitation to support a
metropolitan and up-to-date venture.
Father O'Connor was the pioneer in
establishing the combined concert and
election returns entertainment for
election night in Shakopee, and it
needed only the sight Of the hall crowd
ed to standing room to show how much
his efforts were appreciated. At con-
siderable expense he arranged to have
all returns from the wires brought to
the hall by messenger boys, and james
Sullivan read these from the stage at
intervals from early in the evening I'M
til 2 o'clock ut night. None the less
interesting was the program rendered
by the far-famed Rosa d'Erina, pia-
mist and vocalist, and her husband, G.
II. Vontom, vocalist and elocutionist.
The Rosa d'Erina concert left in the
minds Of its hundreds of patrons an
abundance of pleasant and lasting
memories.

New Years xidnigh, Mass.

~ SS A1uAsVA VI tAe AElbu 0L60U8rO:
With the first of next January tho
beginning, as most persons reckon, OF
the twentieth century, will open fol
the Catholics of the world the great
jubilee, the holy year. As one contri
button towards the new and specia]
fervor wherewith the Holy Father de.
sires that all Catholics should start the
new century he has given the extraor.
binary permission, and more. than Der.
mission, recommendation, to have
Mass celebrated in every church at
midnight on New Years eve. Surely.
such an innovation on the ordinary
procedure of the church cannot fail to
work strong influence towards moral
Innovation, towards arousing, and
strengthening in the souls Of multi
tudes new thoughts, and resolves of a
new and better life.
Numbers that would otherwise ig.
more the church's services on New
Years day will be struck and drawn
by the novelty of a midnight Mass.
They will be brought to think of God
and His law, of Christ and His suffer
ings and His plenteous redemption.
They will be recalled to see the value
of life, and urged, at once by pulpit
utterances and the Spirits promptings,
to begin to live it right. 1t is to be hoped
that no bar will be put to the clear
and only beneficent results of the New
Years midnight Mass by conjuring
up of fears where there is no fear, by
a DOGGY array Of possible old-time
abuses. Public opinion, the law, the
police, are superabundant guarantees
against the possibility of ''people COM
ing into church drunk" !"people crowd:
ing from the church into the Saloons
and all that. The people who could
he expected to act so on their way to
or from the midnight Mass are of the
kind that would, If there were no
Mass, add the time they would spend
Mt 1t to the rest Of their drinking. And
is it not most desirable thing if
such unfOrtunates have halt called
on their reckless ways, and the mes
sage and means of salvation sprung on
them? Was It not precisely sinners
that Christ came to call to penance?
The rigors Of our northern climate
should cut no figure here. They cut
none in stopping people, old and young,
from going as far. and staying longer,
and being more exposed to the danger
of cold, in other ways Of celebrating
the opening of the New Year. The
young people, those that IRE the most
neglectful, and in most need of coming
to church, would go there at mid
night with good deal Of the relish
with which on many a night, including
especially New Years eve, they go to
dances, balls, and rafties. The older
folks would find it really less distress
ing and dangerous than getting up in
time to go to the early 5 o'clock Mass
that would be the sure alternative.
The midnight Mass would enable all,
with very little discomfort or danger,
to open the year with watching and
prayer, and a good, unbroken, restful
sleep. such as the Lord giveth His
beloved. All hands up for the Mid
night Mass!
