ARKANSAS TRAVELLER RESPONDED.

Got Back in Rhyme at Missouri Pc.
cific's General Passenger Agent.
II. G.. Townsend, general passenger
and ticket agent Of the Missouri Pa
cifc with headquarters at st. Louis,
sent out a novel holiday greeting to
patrons of the road and was surprised
TO receive a response in rhyme from
a man in Arkansas. Here is the greet
ing followed by the answer:
This is the train that runs so fast
Across the plains TO mountains vast;
This is the train that's never late,
And keeps it's service up to date.
This is the train that runs out West,
And takes you there for work or rest: ~:
This is the train that runs to the landN
OF mountains high and canons grand; %
This is a true hotel On wheels
IT serves to you the best of meals;
This is the train with lowest rate
st. Louis to the Golden Gate.
If you should wish to go that way,
See II. G. Townsend. G.. Il. n.
This is what the Arkansas traveller
wrote in response:

Turkey and the Vatican.

1t seems, says the Rome correspond

key has been On the alert to obtain
any advantage that may be derived
from the existing discord between
France and the vatican. Selling the
opportunity afforded By the present
rupture, the Porte Immediately set on
foot negotiations for the establishment
IF an Ottoman legation accredited to
the holy see. This move was inspired
by the opinion prevailing i'm Ottoman
circles that the protectorate over Cath

France, and the object of the sultan

hands Of any other European power,
as by the establishment of Turkish

seen what viii be the attitude of the

church, nevertheless the fact that
such teaching may be imported by
those who do not subscribe 10 the

Brief Account Of Canonization of Two

We take the following from an ac-
tOunt given to the Associated Press,
dated Rome, Dec, IL:

sembled in St Peters, Pope Plus X
this morning canonized Blessed Ales-

The Illumination TO perfection. The
throne had been erected behind the high
altar and chair Of ST Peter, having a
device of rays of gold with a picture of
The Trinity in the center.
Altogether the throne took up q space
bf ninety to seventy feet. Four ban
hers hung under the dome, showing the
thief miracles of the new saints.
The papa1 procession met in the Sis

chapel of the Holy Sacrament. The

The Power of Action and Association

The intention of the Apostleship of
Prayer. this month, is most oppcrtune
! OF course. the conternDlative or
ders are most admirable. They
form a glorious band in the church.
A Baltimore priest, speaking of the
Carmelites declared that they were
holy lightning rods" and often divert
ed the wrath Of heaven: but the mill
tant clergy and laity are the grand
armies of action, corresponding with
pious souls who pray in the cloister. as
Moses did on the mount, when Israel
strove against his enemies. 1 perhaps
once before alluded to the famous
statement of St. Ignatius, when asked
if he believed that labor was prayer"
He replied that We should labor. as il
everything depended upon ourselves
and then pray as if everything depend
ed upon God" / once attempted to IL
lustrate this in the following manner.
A man, in a boat, wishing to reach an
objective point says I viii only labor.
and so uses one car. He spins around
TO the right. He says l viii pray, and.
with the other single oar. Nhirls to the
left Then he concludes to labor and
pray, using both oars. and darts to the
goal. We all know what active
Catholicism accomplished in Germany.
We see how a lack of that activity and
the power of association has produced
the greatest evils. Let prayer abound
and activity abound all over the world,
among lay and clericals. and miracu-
lous results will occur. A united Cath
olic effort. in that direction, would
save innumeTable derelicts and strike
terror to Satan and the evil spirits
who go about the seeking the ruin Of
souls. - Randall. in Catholic Colrm-
