VERY ELABORATE
Musical Programmes Being
Arranged For Christ
mas Day.

The Christmas music at all the Catho-
lie churches this year will be elaborate.
At every church in the city there will be
at least three masses. 1t must be remem-
bered that Christmas is the only day Of
the year when priest has the privilege
of celebrating three masses. So in
churches where there are two priests
six masses will be celebrated. Of course
at the Cathedral, St. Louis Bertrand's,
St. Patrick's, St. Bonifac's, St. Martins,
St. Anthony's, where there are many
priests, masses will be going on contin-
uously from o'clock in the morning
till noon.
Thus far only one musical programme
has been sent the Kentucky Irish Ameri-
can. 1t is for the first mass. O'Clock
Christmas morning. 1t will be solemn
high mass at St. Louis Bertrand's. Very
Rev Father Fowler will officiate.
The splendid choir will be assisted by
Professor Morbachs complete orchestra.
At the offertory 20 Holy Night" will be
given by Mr.. Philip Stark, Miss Gertrude
Thome and Mrs. Katie Newman. The
second offertory piece will be 80 Sing to
God" by Gounod, Mrs. Daniel Doherty,
soloist and chorus.
The singers will be ss follows:
Sopranos--Mrs. Philip A. Stalk, Mrs.
Daniel Doherty, Mrs. Katie Newman,
Misses NJ. Scally, Nellie Lincoln, Katie
Green, Josie Kelly, Katie Weterick,
Mrs. M. Finegan and Mrs. Will H.
Price.
Altos-Misses Gertrude Thome, Mary
Ramser, Ada Mccain and Mrs. A Mus
selman.
Tenors-Phil A. Stark, Henry Dohr-
man, Fred Zuerner, F. Lousburg, II.
Bigley and Charles Rogers.
Bassos-John Gruesser, Joe Ramser
and James J. Roche.
At the Church of Our Lady in Portland
the music will also be of a superior order.
The organ has been repaired and refined.
The sanctuary, the most attractive feature
of Our Lady's church, will be more
beautiful than ever. TO add to the
beauty of the scene the thirty-fve well
trained altar boys will be on hand at the
first mass at o'clock. There will be
other masses at 1880 and at 10 O'Clock.
At the O'Clock mass Rev. Father Con
milf will preach sermon full of mean
ing, as he did on the occasion of the st.
Vincent de Paul's Society's recent visit
to his church.

other men. He whose name was above
all others, for at the name of Jesus every
knee shall bow, whether in heaven or in
earth or in hell, and who alone had
power to inscribe the names of his elect
in the great book Of life, permitted his
obscure of the subjects of Caesar. None
paid homage to him unless simple and
ignorant shepherds, although every Gre
ated thing was dependent on him. In a
word, everything that was calculated to
confound human pride was exhibited at
his birth. Aud why was it that this babe
permitted himself to suffer such igno-
minies1 1t was because he wished on
account of his infinite love for man to
teach us from his cradle the love of
poverty, of modification, of humility, and
this being that true peace to man and
that true glory to God which was pro-
claimed by the angels to the shepherds,
"Glory to God on high and peace on
earth to men of good will" That glory
which proud and ignorant man had tried
to usurp for himself is now secured to
God through the infant Jesus, and that
peace which man had hitherto been a
stranger is now secured to him if he will
only use the means within his power to
acquire it, that is prayer and the sacra-
ments. This done, we may be sure that
God will bless us and make our Christmas
a merry one and our New Year one of
happiness.

course these generous corporations
ale exceptions rather than the rule. But
there are corporations and even combines
that go further. By accident a repre-
sentative of this paper heard that the
Brewers Exchange was preparing Christ
mas donations for number Of charitable
institutions. He investigated and found
out that not only were liberal donations
ready to be forwarded to all the Catholic
institutions like St. Anthony's Hos
pital, St. Vincent's and St. Joseph's
orphan asylums and the Little Sisters of
the Poor, but to every Protestant charit-
able institution and even to the Rescue
Mission and other places of similar
character. Now this is as it should be.
These institutions are all doing good
work and any help extended them will
be properly appreciated.
By the way, Col. John H. Whallen and
his brother, James p Whallen, every
year give away thousands of dollars
worth of Christmas presents. This year
their expense account for Christmas gifts
to various charitable institutions, friends
and employees amounts to 81 900, and it is
given cheerfully. "The Lord loveth
cheerful giver.''

GOOD TIDINGS
OF Great Joy Brought to Peo-
pie Not Able to Help
Themselves.

Even the infdel, if it is possible that
such a creature has ever existed, must
enter into himself at this joyous period
of the year, and say in his Utmost heart:
"There must be God and His promise
of peace on earth. good will towards men
is being fulfilled" Here, there and
everywhere people are hurryiug and
scurrying in search of presents for their
children and friends and kindred. This
custom has become so universal, in
America at least, that even the Jews send
presents to their Christian friends on
Christmas day.
Then there are the so-called soullesss
corporations who make presents of tur.
keys or money to their employees. OF
