 Saints of the Church and Politics.
 To St Lucian is this day, January s. ded- icated in the calendar of the church. This saint seems to have had a troubled career upon the earth, and died a. martyr. He was born about the year 25O of our era. at Samo- sata in Upper Syria, and early ir life he became q Christian teacher at Edessa and at the Antioch of the Bible intoxicating d uOClflHt SllIllldT to lflal dlleTWdTuS hllOW1 in theology Aranism. the theory or Arius that Christ was created being. in- ferior to God the Father. For such Of lenses he was three times excommunicat- ed a herstic. Ultimately he retracted hls heterodox doctrines, and was accredited with the performance of miracles in the name of the Holy Mother Church. At Nico- demia in the persecution of Maximin, in 3l2 A. D., he perished as a martyr. He was a man of great learning well piety, and was the author of revision of the Septuagint, still much valued by the East ern Church.
 ''To St Jackson is this day. January s, dedicated in the calendar of politics, and it is of great historic interest apart from pol itics, for eighty-ive years ago precisely, that Is ito say on the Sth day of January, 1915, was fought Ile battle of New Dr. leans between the British troops on the one side and the Americans under Andrew Jackson on the other" said lounger. "The history of the United States from 1797, when he elected to the United States Sem ate, urtil 1915, when he died, eight years after his retirement, was very largely the life story of Andrew Jackson; and ito this good year of the new century, a hundred and three and thirty years after his birth, and five and fifty years after his death, his is a name to conjure with.
 'The battle of New Orleans, which was a comparative trife in war and fought after peace had been agreed upon, was of even less material consequence than Deweys sk.rmish at Manila; but it gave Jackson prestige and the Presidency, en- abling him to do much good and much mis- chief.
 Nowadays Jackson shares with Jefferson the distinction of ile godship of the Dem- ocratic party in the partisan sense. This glamor about the name of Jackson is likely to brighten with the passing of time. Of late years the newspapers have been giv- ing increasing space to the Saint Jackson day banquests in the greater cities, festiv- ities which take place on the night of Jam uary the Sth in commemoration of the most masterful man who was ever President of the United States. It is we'll for the youth and men alike that the strong traits of that strong man be brought out, and that his weaknesses be forgotten. He ranks with Washington, Lincoln and Cleveland as one of the greatest of the Presidents.
 But imagine a politician a saint to be.'
