THE RELIGION OF GIVING.

Naturally mems thoughts turn to giving as the
Christmas time approaches but too few of them
associate religion with the thought, whereas it is
the essence of all right generosity. The soundest
of PHILOSOPHERS found expression long ago in the
phrase, at is Better to Give Than to Receive"
and everyday experience attests its truth Giving
may be best or not, according to the spirit of it;
it may be done out of full heart and at sacri-
flee, it may be done perfunctorily as matter
of routine and with no thought of kindness
But no matter how it is done, the donor is the
chief beneficiary.
All of us have known the happiness of making
some one else happy the JOY of bringing the light
of appreciation to the eyes of others; and it is
the merest truism to say that the reward of such
giving is infinitely greater than its cost. Real re-
lgion always means giving-not necessarily of
costly gifts but the giving of ones time, ones self
to others. Anybody with means can give money
but, rich or poor the sacrifice of ones self to the
happiness of others is genuine worship. Two
thousand years ago, the Son of Man spent his
days in giving himself for mankind and achieved
the ultimate sacrifice by giving His life that men
might be saved
The approaching holidays commemorate His
piiOi an" tiie uaS VI udSS todCAeS Auo HSheoC 1eS
when it reminds us that giving happiness, Civ
ing comfort and good cheer to those who need it
most, is religious duty as well as pleasure to
be sought diligently.
As you think of the holidays and Christmas,
think, too, of those about you who need your help,
who will be better and happier for your remem-
brance, who will thank God that you have lived
and done your part in His world.
In the struggle for wealth and place and power
men too often think only of some way to take
from others the little they have the reverse of the
shield is the religion that teaches us we should
rather think of ways in which to give. If we have
much the obligation is much the greater; if we
have little the obligation is just as binding. The
very warp and wool of religion is this text OF
giving.

CHRISTMAS COMING.

Christmas is drawing very near. The old and
the young are already buying presents for loved
ones The mothers are buying goodies for their
babies, husbands and fathers playing their an
receptions upon wives and children, that they may
work grand surprise upon them on Christmas eve
and children, Oh it is JOY to watch the children
putting their treasures together to make for
mamma the surprise of her life Such big sums in
arithmetic are they solving, and how to get the
biggest gift possible for the money they have-t is
beautiful to watch them.
And as the great day approaches, there is a
growing Joy in the air; something of its peace is
coming to mems hearts, and thcra is almost 4 con-
scousnrss that the star is shining even if with our
dull eyes we cannot it, and thaS could our hear
ing be sLblimated there would come to us in mex
pressibe sweetness the voice that thrilled the shep-
herds Of old: "Glory to God ii the highest, and
on earth Peace and to men Good Will"

JOHN COsGRovE.

The following beautiful tribute to the late
John Cosgrove was written by Judge Goodwin, for
the Salt Lake Telegram:
The body of John Cosgrove was laid to rest in
this city yesterday
Not many knew him for what he was, but he
really was the manifest kind of man. Thirty
years ago he was sinking the great pump shafts on
the Comstock and doing the masonry work He
was an expert. He went from the Comstock to
Butte, and as long as Marcus DAILY lived he was
held there. He put IN all the deep foundations of
all the great works at Anaconda. He came down
here and put up the works of the copper plant on
the Jordan under Colonel Este and Otto Stall
mann He put in the foundation of the Majestic
works in Denver
He drifted away from here year and half
ago. went to southwestern Nevada, and died four
days ago at Tonopah.
He was man of decided character He was
a superb mechanic, and in his business he had the
full confidence of such men as James g. Fair.
John W. Mackay Marcus Daly-everybody who
knew him well. He was kindly, generous, gentle.
self-respecting man, better informed than most
men in his walk of life. There was not one bit of
hypocrisy or insncerity in his nature He was as
true as steel everywhere and while but an humble
man and mechanic, he was that kind of man that
awakened the absolute trust of everybody who knew
him.
When once asked to bid on a little work that
was to be done and one of the owners asked him
if he could give a bond that he would fulfill his
agreements he said: "Oh, | guess so. Mr.. DAILY
viii sign for me for twenty twenty-five thousand
dollars, and | think ] get four or five more
that would be quite as responsible as Mr. DAILY and
who would trust me with like amount"
Poor John! He walked about the streets in
humble dress not the least aggressive in his ways
but nevertheless he had forgotten more than half
the men he knew had ever known. and under his

ATTENDANCE AT MASS.

The editor of the English Messenger does not
hesitate to trace the beginning of the ruin OF many
souls to the habit of neglecting Sunday Mass y
persistent neglect of Sunday Mass, says rather
Bearne, is a certain cause of apostasy: when
Catholic Sunday becomes a mere blank holiday we
have reason to fear the worst Heartbreakrng are
the too true stories that many parish priest can
tell of the direct consequences of neglect OF Sun
day Mass. In the case of many promising young
woman the breaking of the Sunday precept
has led to the almost rretrievabe ruin. With BIT
ter tears many a mother will tell you that all was
well with her until he turned his back upon the
altar of God Jail chaplains hear the like almost
every time they interview Catholic prisoner. 1t
is the deplorabe story that every preacher OF
missions hears over and over again.
Sunday Mass is for some time the last tie that
binds them to the body of the Church. When that
tie is broken their condition is indeed ptiful; while
that bond remains whole there is always abundant
ground for hope To cut himself off from such a
means of grace is one of the most serious mistakes
that any sinner can possibly make. Regarded only
as an external profession of faith the hearing of
Mass is a matter of the greatest Importance; but
to the most careless it is always much more
than profession of faith.-Western Catholic.

THE LESSON OF A LIFE.

The life and death of Ex-senator Arthur Brown
should be an impressive lesson to all Christian peo
pie A man of rare talents fine scholar, one of
the ablest men in his profession that ever came to
Utah; man of thousand generous impulses; one
to whom high political honors had come; com
manding and winsome public speaker, after ALL
left nothing which his friends can be much proud
Of after his forty years of effort and after having
great triumphs.
His trouble was that from the first he fought
against every restraint which would have tended to
check either his appetites or his wild passions.
A thorough lover of his country and Jealous of
its glory trained lawyer with the highest possible
admiration for his profession STILL when it came to
himself and his desires, he was always determined
that the necessary restraints which society imposes
upon men, should not be binding upon him.
With all mis- gifts he never learned that it was
better to give than to receive; never believed that
to give up something which he cherished greatly,
might come back to him sometime in an unmeas-
ured blessing; never for an hour of his life con
ceived possible that self-sacrifice his part
might bring to him crown of glory.
So he walked through life until he must have
realized that the fruits which seemed so fair to
him, had turned to ashes on his lips; he saw one
honor after another that had been his, melt and
vanish away, until one friend after another left
him, and old age was approaching, he found
himself, even among the men he had known so long,
walking practically alone and felt that it was too
late to retrace his steps and recover what he had
lost.
There are no reproaches for such one, only
pity and the prayer that Infinite Mercy will extend
more mercies to him than he ever extended to him
self, and to deplore that in his youth he never
learned obedience to wise counsel, learned to
lean upon the Divine Guardian to stay his unsteady
stems when he was going astray.

EVENTUAL VICTORY SURE.

If right and justice and the cause of Christ
can win-and they always do-the struggle be-
tween the Church and the anti Christians in con-
troll of the French government can end only in
victory for the Church Even in the darkest hours
of the crisis. now impending, the answer of the
faithful TO the call of danger has been glorious
thing a sign of the power of righteousness and
the undying strength of a good cause As if TO
trumpet-calL from every quarter Of the globe,
Catholics of every nation have declared their 10y
atty to the Holy Father and their support of his
indignant reputation of every effort to secure his
assent TO a humiliating surrender. Even people
not of the true faith recognizing the justice of his
position have taken his side in the issue; and the
md is not yet.
In America there has been but one thought
among Catholics, and that is determination to
show by every means possible, by written word, by
open deed by sacrifice. if need be, an unwavering
support OF the Church in its effort to stay the tide
Of mbelief and atheism and destruction of re-
igion in France. The fight is not to be for
day. nor for a year; no great issue such as this
was fought out right until it was settled for
all time The purpose of God is not shown to i'm
patient man until in His good time the event is
ripe.
Whether the Affections and trials of His peo-
pie are to continue until they have come to a per
feet understanding Of His purpose through travail
and sacrifice and woe; whether the dark night that
has settled down France is to bring men to
realization of nations sins and its need for re-
pentance through tribulation; whatever the need
we may be sure that the end will be for good. He
doeth all things well; and that is as sure of His
dealings with nations as with individuals

PROTESTANT PAPER ON
BISHOP SCANLAN.

The Northwestern Review, published in Boise,
in an article devoted to the growth of the Catholic
Church in Idaho, pays a high compliment to
Bishop Seaman, who was present at the laying of
the cornerstone of St. Johns Cathedral 1t says:
From Salt Lake, came Bishop Seaman, who,
like Bishop Glorieux, had come to the west
after the days of the great gold rush and had
grown up with the country carrying out the mis-
sion of his Master through privations and suffer
ings, which only the pioneers, who still are here,
realize and appreciate. He is essentially a
of the people, plain, unpretentious, keeping
ever before his mind that Christ himself was poor
and his parents humble. and that we, Chris
tians are such only in as much as we live as He
would have us. His is an ascetic face, but there
is deep well of benevolence in his eyes, that
prepares one for the news that his chief work
in Utah has been for the orphans the sick and the
old His days and nights are spent III the service
of the little ones of Jesus" in the asylums and
the hospitals, in the tenements and upon the
highways. Honored and respectfully the rich and
loved by the poor, his encomium may well be- Gas
he has lived, so shall be his reward"

HONOR THE BLESSED VIRGIN

There is nothing in the Catholic religion so
reasonable and true as honoring the Blessed Vir-
gin Mary We have the testimony of many of the
great Fathers and Doctors of the church who lived
in the first second third, fourth, fifth and sixth
centuries, Origen, Tertullian, jerome, Augustine
and MANY Others that veneration to the Holy
Mother of God was in xeistence from the infancy
of Christianity The subterranean cellars of Rome,
called catacombs where lived the Christians during
the first three centuries for fear of the pagan
perors' prosecutions, possessed many evidences of
honor paid to the Virgin Mother of Christ.
She is. because of her great and sublime purity,
modesty. womanly tenderness, as well as her super
nal character as the pre-sanctifed Mother of God,
with all her terrible participation in every
and agony of Christ from his infancy in Bethle-
hem to His death on bloody Calvary, the greatest
masterwork of creation ever wrought by an eternal
Gods omnpotence Great and truthful Saints in
every century, have told of the glorious gifts OBJ
tanned from God by their prayers to His Mother.
CHRISTOPHER Columbus called the first ship in which
he sailed in quest of the New Western World, Mary
of the Conception. She was the inspiration of the
orders of knighthood in The middle ages, whose
members dedicated themselves to her service. and
because of her, to the defns of all womanhood.
The Mother of Jesus Christ is indeed sorrows
queen the mother of ten thorn crowned King of Is
rael and our mother, and heavens queen well.
Let us then, when we dsire anything from God,
and feel ourselves unworthy of asking Him direct
ask her who bore Him on Her breast, during all
the LONELY nights and days in Judea and in Egypt
to mdke our requests for us And let us not be
cowa1llIy poltroons, ashamed of her and her Di-
vine Sou.
