L21 begins with death. He has
made known to us our origin and des-
tiny and the means of attaining it.
He has brought not only light to our
intci!ccts, bat also peace to our hearts,
that peace which springs from the
knowledge of the truth and the hope
of the eternal life.
He has given benediction to the
home by proclaiming the unity, sane
tity and the iudissolubility of mar
riaSe. The wife is no longer the slave
but the partner of her husband; she
Is no longer a tenant at WILL but the
mistress Of her household; she is no
longer confronted by usurping rival,
but she is the undisputed queen of the
domestic kingdom.
The aged poor are no longer at the
mercy OF heartless masters. They are
not cast aside like a WORKOUT machine.
Their life is sacred like that of in
fants, and they are comfortably pro-
vidcd for in institutions now spread
throughout Christendom.
The tender and compassionate spirit
Of Christ has caused orphan asylums
and hospitals to spring up and bloom
IN every land. There is no phase of
human misery and suffering that does
not find solace and relief in these eS-
Establishments.
Human slavery has, at last, melted
away before the effulgent rays of the
gospel. To borrow with a slight para
phIa-e the words of distinguished
writer. we can say with truth that
a slave stands redeemed. regenerated
and disenthralled as soon as he plants
his foot on the sacred soil of Christen-
dom.
The gospel proclaims the dignity Of
labor. Judged by its standard. every
honest emf loyment is oRorable. how
mental soeyer it may be.
Christianity has been a peacemaker
to the nations. BY her beneficent in
t!uence she has made wars far less
frequent than rley used to be under
pagan regime.

Bethlehem is situated about six
miles south of Jerusalem. Starting
from Jerusalem by the Jaffa gate, the
journey is over rough and billy
country road amid scenes that awaken
in the mind reverent memories
and fill the soul with loving emo
lions. Along this very road Christ
often walked. and here and there at
different turns of the road are places
associated with some interesting and
stirring event in the history of the
people of Israel On the west. is the
Gihon valley, where Solomon was
crowned and on the southeast is the
valley of IIinnom, where nearby. in

There on high hill il stands. with its
closely clustered houses of white

looming forth in the brightness of the
morning sun. while below is a rich
valley with its green grass. olive trees

Grotto in Limestone.

The grotto is formed III a ridge of
soft limestone and is 80 feet long and
from ten to twelve feet wide. 1t is
paved with stone FLAGS. and the walls
are covered with white marble.
Turning to the right We enter pas
sageway 10 the altar of ST. Eusebius
of Cremona which is built over his
| tomb. He was Il friend of St. Jerome
and came to aid him in the founding
of a monastery at Bethlehem. He
! aftcrward became the superior of il.
and died in I22 A. ID.
We next come to the chapel of the
| Tombs.
On the east side is an altar beneath
which are the tombs of ST. Paula and
ST. Eustochlum. her daughter. They
were descendants of the Gracci and
Scipios. and had come to bethlehem to
devote themselves to the service of
God. They distributed their wealth to
the poor. aided st. Jerome to build
monastcries. and studied the holy
scriptures under him.
In the west wall Of this chanel Is the
tomb OF ST. jerome. where an altar is
| also erected above his resting place
Near by is small room known as the
oratory of st. Jerome. Here the saint
spent his declining years in prayer
and the study of the scriptures.
Retracing our steps TO the entrance
of this chapel of Tombs. we come next
to the altar Of the Innocents. Tradi
ton relates that here many of the
mothers of Bethlehem hid themselves
from the soldiers Of Herod. but were
discovered and their children slain.
Continuing along. we are shown a
small altar known as the chapel of st.
Joseph. which commentaries the
place where st. Joseph was warned
in dream to flee into Egypt. Owe.
the altar is an oil painting represent

Word to This Effect Comes
to Attorney Meyer From
G. G. & L.

LeGrand 7. Meyer. city attorney. to-
day received letter from the Chicago
Cincinnati & Louisville Railroad com
pany, telling him that officials will be
in Hammond in the near futurs to look
over the field for the required depot
Harry Starr, the representative OF
the company and writer of the let
ter. assured Attorney Meyer that the
company intends to live up to tho
franchise and provide the depot as
specified. There was. however, nc
mention as to what time the construc-
ton work will begin.
The letter of Mr.. Starr is in an
swer to numerous letters that have
been addressed to the company urg-
ing them to live up to their agreement
and to erect a $4,000 passenger sta
tion as specified in the franchise.
The agreement between the city and
the railroad company also provided
that the company should have depo
completed within six months after th'
first trains were hauled through Ham
mond. This time having been ex
ceeded by the company without Sc
much as making an attempt to comply
with their promise, the city attorney
began to WELD the big stick, threaten
ing to have the franchise revoked.
