in the manger, the Christian world IS celebrating
the advent of the Child into world that His
coming blessed as nothing before nor since has
blessed this. gray old sphere,
We are too apt in the Joy of the celebration, in
the giving and receiving of gifts that makes the
day one of peculiar happiness, to forget the rea-
son for the celebration. Too few Of US remember
to give thanks to and for the Christ that made this
happiness possible. And too many of US alas for
get His great injunction, "Inasmuch as ye do it
unto the least Of these my children ye do it unto
me"
Let US remember on Christmas day the poor
and the afflicted, the widow and the fatherless.
There is not one who reads these lines who cannot
carry Joy into some household where JOY might be
absent, but for your effort Try it, and word
for it, the act viii brighten your own Christmas

FATHER CRONIN's DEATH.

Father Cronin, editor of the Buffalo Catholic
Union and Times died last week. His death was
more than an ordinary loss to the Catholic press.
As q Catholic journalist he had few equals. BY
his depth of thought, and fluency in writing he
commanded the respect and good will of all who
read his brilliant and spicy editorials in the Union
and Times. His eyes were always open when the
church unjustly attacked, and with his pro-
found and extensive knowledge he ably and lu-
eddy defended her interests His broad and COM
prehensivc mind never failed to sec the point of an
objection and all its bearings, which he would am
swcr in simple yet dgniied manner, and with
logical precision. He never descended TO the depths
of an abusive or quarrelsome attitude but when
wit and sarcasm were needed he could WELD the
pen to the highest point with his latent native wit
His knowledge and work were not confined to re-
ligious sphere His mission was to purify society
and alleviate the suferings of humanity by expos
ing graft intoxicating civic virtues and aiding the
poor and helpless. His was noble mission, and
the Catholic press has lost It's best and ablest rep
resentative To his friends who are legion and
scattered throughout every state in the Union, and
in England and Ireland, the Intermountan Catho-
lie extends feelings of deep coincidence

Latin America being houored for the first time in

Msgr, SpinoIa, archbishop Of Seville.
Msgr. J. A. De Arcoyerde De Albuquerque Cav

Msgr. Cagaino De Azevedo, major domo Of the

Although the Catholic faith is spreading through
cut the world on turning toward Catholic nations
one feels sadness and fear lest the prediction Of
the scriptures is being verified, that the kingdom
of the Lord will be removed to other people wher.
it will produce good fruit"

New AFFAIRS AT ST. J0SEPH's CHURCH
Designed and made in Ogden.
"a thing of beauty is a joy forever"

One of the most elaborate pieces of workman
ship performed in this state was executed in Og-
den on affairs for the above Catholic church Plans
were designed and drawn by f. c. Woods, archi
tect, and under his direction and scrutinizing eye
every detail was carried out to the letter. Com
petent workrnen were secured and American ma
terial used in their construction of the best for
there is nothing too good for the glory and edit
cation of God The style of architecture is COM
posite Gothic. pen description of the beautiful
work cannot well be elucidated. The only reals
tic way is by an ocular demonstration, by which
all their component parts can be thoroughly an
ayzed in all their beauty, magnifeenee and gran
deur The wood carving of Mr.. Jeppefson is
grand and commands respect and admiration by
all who have seen and examined the work. on col
urnns entabatures, arches, curves and what not.
1t would take the genius of Euclid to determine
in detail the blending of those in beauty and har-
mony. The Lamb and Sacred Hearts are par ex-
cellent. All this labyrinth of workmanship was
equipped and prepared by Mr.. John Callahan and
Mr. a. A. Richter, carpenters, before they were
taken in hand by Mr.. Jepperson. We are justified
in voicing the assertion that this work hardly
be duplicated in this state or the next. Mr.. NJ.
ellis lent his genius in moulding columns, etc,
etc. All were executed ip grand style. This we
can say also of Mr. McKennon, carriage painter.
The main altar, which was placed in position by
fifty or sixty men, the length of which is sixteen
feet by twenty-five in height.
The last, but not the least, the Rev. P. Al. Cush-
nahan, who has worked with energy and zeal since
his connection with this parish, is dearly beloved
by not only his parishioners, but by all in Ogden
His work is an everlasting ornament-long may he
live in the earnest prayer of his entire congrega-
ton.
In adding to the beauty of his church he is
striving to advance the interests of the Queen
City of the West with all his natural qualities The
compliments rendered F. G. Wood are highly eulo-
CYSTIC to his grand achievements in church and
affairs Verify, verify! we say again "a thing Of
beauty is joy forever"

denomination. 1t was regarded as the height of
folly for him to run on an Independent ticket, all
by himself, and opposed by all of the strong and
powerful organizations of the best organized city
in the world Yet he did it. and the public so adj
mired his pluck and his honesty, that they elected
him in spite of all the bosses and rings.
The fact that sucl men upheld in their
work by the people, is good indication OF the
healthy state of public morals When honesty OF
purpose is given higher place than shrewdness'
when the voters are intelligent enough and lnde-
pendent enough to reward the man who breaks up
corrupt political rings there need be no worry over
the welfare of the country. Such results are
good answer to any charge that we are nation OF
mere money-getters. It is also clear evidence that
those who fawn and grovel to titled foreigners
do not form any considerable portion OF our popu-
lation, and cut no figure in the management Of
our affairs

MAIN ALTAR.

The tide of JOY flows high today
In ST. Joseph's sacred aisle.
Where affairs three their parts display
In composite Gothic style.
Art and science show we'll their parts
In what Greek and Roman knew,
Rejecting praise from longing hearts
Who blend the old ana raw
Spheroids sublime. in miniature:
Oblates, cyclods, simple and compound;
Carved in harmonizing grandeur
The Lamb and Sacred Hearts surround.
Clustering spires and pinnaces.
Towering, fantastic and unique,
While the soul is wrapt in wonder
And words cannot speak
It's tabernacle meath gorgeous canopy
Where our triune God presides,
And the bloody scenes of Calvary
Chrlst's minister personifes
Where angels and archangels
Daily homage render there.
And heavens glory sheds it's light
BY the efficacy of prayer.
Above this panoramic spendor
Calvarys tragic cross appears,
The victim of our redemption
The sorrowing mother bent in tears
What human sot that trembles not
Where Christs precious blood shed?
And history quotes the thrilling notes
Which woke the slumbering dead?
ALTAR OF ST. JOSEPH
(Supplication to st. Joseph.)
st. Joseph, our patron, hail with delight,
At thy altar of peace and shrine of devotion;
Protect our frail nature this perilous night
And strengthen our hearts with acts of contrition
Your intercession know thro' ages of woe,
Our faith still in thee is mistaken;
Enven the same in Gods holy
From the bondage OF sin to awaken.
sad is our ease through this valley of tears
If the omnipotence OF God is forsaken
Help us rise in our might from the thraldom Of fears
When the links Of the demon broken.
At thy shrine we'll repent the wrong life we spent

More than nineteen hundred years ago little
band of shepherds, watching their focks near
Bethlehem in Judea, saw the heavenly host and
heard their hymn Of rejoicing. Blessed though
they were above their fellow men, those shepherds
could have had but little real appreciation Of the
magnitude of the event heralded by the angels
That day had been born a child who would affect
the destinies Of all the world.
The time was coming when the babe who lay
IN the manger IN Bethlehem would give light and
hope and faith to countless millions. Because he
was born men and women have gone unfinchingly,
even srnilingly, into the great beyond, secure in
the knowledge that He would redeem His Won
derful promises. "In my Fathers house are many
mansions He said. Il go to prepare a place for
you"
Through the long centuries has come down 10
us the story Of the Christ and the wonderful era
Of love and forgiveness that was born with him It
is the one story in all the world that has lost moth
ing in the telling, the one story that does not lose
interest through repetition, the one story that is
always new. Next Monday, nineteen hundred and
FIVE wears after the scene on the hillside the birth

Des Moines. July 6.--Revised figures
today show that probably five people
were killed In Iowa as a result or the
use of explosives with which to cele-
brate Independence Day Tuesday. Two
others received injuries which may
prove fatal. The number OF people in
jured. many of them seriously, num-
bers anywhere from lis to $50. 1t Is
believed that the casualty list Is less
than in years past. There seems to be
a growing sentiment against the In
creased use of dynamite and other
dangerous explosives and saner ceIe-
bration of the holiday Is expected to
result. 1t is not unlikely that an eff
fort will be made to secure legislation
with O. view to curtailing the use OF
dynamite canes, cannon crackers, etc.
The making public of the enormous
casualty list and large number OF IA
talities is awakening the people to the
necessity of controlling the manufact-
ure and use Of dangerous toys and ex-
ploSiyes.
