A CHRISTMAS THOUGHT.

"A little Child with heart 50 large it takes the whole
world in
How beautifully these words remind us that the
Divine Babe of Bethlehem is God and Man; and
how powerfully they should excite US to new senti-
memts Of faith hope and charity
ST. Bernard tells US that God is great and ex-
ceedingly to be praised" then adds He is little,
exceedingly to be loved" SO great that angels IL
3umined that Christmas night of old with celes-
}a radiance and made the silence thrill with their
neodious song of praise: Gloria IN excelsis Deo"
So little that Mary and Joseph embraced Him, and
abe shepherds drew near and feared Him not Yes.
little that poor crib contained Him. and an
infants raiment was folded round the God who
clothes the lilies of the field"
All this we feel as we. echo the anthems of HOLY
Church: "Dem de Dec, Lumen de luminel" And
then we remember that His heart is large enough
to contain the whole world. 1t contains all sins
10 eypiate them. all sorrows to console them, in a
word every human heart whatever may be It's needs
MS aspirations. It's capacities. is folded in the en-
brace OF Jesus love: surely ought to have CON
tdence! What can He refuse us now! In union
with His first adorers, Mary, Joseph the holy
angels. the shepherds and the Magi, we pray that
tins Christmas may bring us the riches of grace
the precious gold of charity-of holy love.
Without charity" says ST. Thomas of Aqun
the highest and most estimable goods are without
,Unon or cohesion; charity unites them Without
III goods are fragile: charity gives them stability
" lthout charity goods of an inferior order tend
TO separation from the supreme good; charity ele-
Yates them, transforms them, and makes of all
goods one only good" above all things have
charity, says st. Paul; 1t is the bond of perfec-
ton.
The tide Of life flows onward towards the golden
shores where other virtues pass away. The wells
are Withdrawn from faith; hope rests in fruition;
humility. obedience, patience. modification are no
longer needed, but charity like its source in God
Who is love, reigns forever
TIo
erE. ~ubiection let us learn Of Him to be ''meel
and humble Of heart; to embrace all creatures
by charity. sympathy, zeal for souls. He is indeed
exceedingly to be praised" by our Christmas an
Ihems OF Joy. and exceedingly to be loved' as the
'aoe of Bethlehem, coming to us in the littleness
OF lis adorable Sacrament.
God of Cod o Light of Light
A little child Thou art:
And vet. all creatures are contained
Within Thy Sacred Heart.

1t is point of honor with good Catholics
to participate heartily in any public devotions, re-
spending audbly and clearly to the prayers ordered
by the Holy Father after the low masses, to the
Rosary, etc.
When congregational singing is established all
the faithful who sing should let their.voces re-
sound in the chants of the Church. 1t is a shame
for adult Catholics of fair education and intelli-
gence not to know the Gloria, the Credo, the Yes

Gus seasons, as the Alma Redemptors," the 'Salve
Reginao and the rest.-Katharine E. CONWAY.

THE RELIGIONS OF THE WORLD.

NOT A GREAT VICTORY.

The Kansas City Journal says that if
the preliminary injunction GRANTED by
Judge Grosscup in the beef trust case in
Chicago shall in the final hearing be
made permanent, the government will
have won the greatest victory it has ever
accomplished under the Sherman act
and that law will be shown to be a
powerful feature which can be effectively
resorted to at all times for the purpose
of preventing and destroying those
criminal and injurious agreements and
ordinations of capitalists of which the
people complain" 1t is we'll known to
the people that the first restraining
order issued by Judge Grosscup and the
preliminary injunction have not had any
effect in restraining the representatives
of the beef trust from continuing their
conspiracies in restraint Of trade. Have
we any reason to believe, therefore, that
when Judge Grosscup shall make this
injunction permanent, it will have any
more effective results? The charges
made by the attorneys for the govern
ment, upon which charges these injunc-
tions were issued, are sufficient as a
basis for criminal Indictment. If the
representatives OF the government really
desire to win great victory, why not
proceed against the beef trust under the
criminal clause OF the Sherman law?

DRAWING THE LINE.

The old democratic party of Tilden and
and south. In its place is populistic
and socialistic aggregation which is ami
mated by blind hatred OF property and
corporate wealth and by an unreasoning
discomfort with social conditions and
social order. This aggregation is a
menace to the financial and industrial
stability of the land, and SO long as it
exists every man OF sound ideas and
every man who owns property in any
form will ally himself with the republic
can party if for no other reason than the
instinct Of self-preservation.
The above, from the New York Com
mercial Advertiser, shows how the re.
publican papers ae drawing the line
between the protection of human rights
and the worship of Nammon, The
democratic party has never attacked
property. 1t is, on the contrary, the
best friend OF honestly acquired wealth
for it distinguishes between honest
wealth and predatory wealth. Republi-
can organs like the Commercial Adver-
tiscr are endangerng legitimate accu-
mutations by confusing them with the
enormous fortunes which are being Sc
cured by force, or cunning, or fav"ritism.
The democratic party as now orrapized
puts manhood before money, but it also
protects all wealth accumulated without
surrender of manhood. -Bryan's
COmmoner.

An organization known as the National
Economic League has started out to
educate the people on the trust question
and other economic questions from the
plutocr tic side. 1t has sent ont circu-
lar to banks throughout the country
announcing thatit is similar to the cam
paign urged against silver that enabled
the republican party to save the country
from bimetallism. There is no doubt
that the league will be amply supplied
with money, because the trusts can
afford to pay literally if they educate
the people to submission to the eyl.'s OF
private monopoly.

GIVING DUE CREDIT,

In the last issue of tic HERALD, under
the caption Of "siize Taem Up we
published the following:
"The average politician is scrvilc i'm
plement OF his party, and ii he has any
political aspiration his views are con-
venently adapted to conform to essential
requirements. They look first of all to
succ SIS at the polls, and will sacrifice
any principle to that end. They know
it is an easy matter to manufacture false
sentiment that the combined newspa-
pers of the United States could make
nine men out OF ten think it was right to
steal if it was party measure. This TO
them is valid excuse for dishonesty.
They prostitute their manhood and
aespoil their decenSy for the questona-
BILE honor of being elected, or for the
spoils office"
The reproduction OF this article in this
paper is of itself stamp of worthiness
but, we are unwilling to permit credit to
the wrong party. Yhe paragraph was
we'll written and pertinent, and we al
ways give the HERALD readers the best
thought available. In this instance, it is
claimed that the article, credited to the
Chchalis Bee-Nugget, was written by
DR.. S. G. Maker, of this city, and first
appeared in the Pessimist. At any rate,
it is good item; will bear re-reading,
and we are willing to give the brainy
