FEAST OF THE IMMACULATE
 CONCEPTION.

FEAST OF THE IMMACULATE
 CONCEPTION.
 The Sth of December is the day on which the Catholic church celebrates the Feast of the Immaculate Concep, ton of the Blessed Vifgin Mary. And it is a feast of especial interest to ! American Catholics. because it is the patronal feast of the United States. This great country of ours in which the Catholic church has prospered so re. markedly. is dedicated to the Immacu- late Conceptionpof the Blessed Virgin. Chosen from all eternity to be the mother of Jesus Christ, the Blessed Virgin was preserved by the Blessed Trinity free from all stain of original sin, she and she alone of all the count less millions of Gods creatures was so honored. It is true St John the Bap- tist was born free from original sin. but the mother of God was conceived and born free from original sin, and that is why it is called her Immaculate Conception. Countless are the other Saints and Virgins, who, having loved and served God while on earth, now enjoy the Beatiic Vision in Heaven, but Mary is above them all. And why? Because only a being so pure as she was could be worthy to bring forth the Babe of Bethlehem, who besides being true man was also true God. Some of our separated brethern say that we Catholics honor the Blessed Virgin Mary too much. But how can we hon. or her more than Almighty God has honored her? What honor can pay her, which can be compared to the honor Almighty God bestowed on her when He selected her to be the mother of
 
 His Divine Son? In honoring her, therefore, we are only following the example set by God Himself. When we say Hail Mary, full of grace" what are we doing but echoing the words of the Archangel when he an- announced to her that she was to be- come the mother of God? And when we call her our mother, have we not war rant in the words of Christ on the cross spoken to St John, "Son, behold thy mother
 Honor paid to Mary does not lessen the honor paid to Jesus Christ as some people foolishly assert, on the con trary it only increases it. Show me. said an eminent authority the Cath ollie or Christian who prays to Mary constantly, and we will show you one who is true to Jesus Christ. As Cardi- nal Gibbons in his Faith of our Fath- CTS so nicely puts it, "I find Jesus and Mary together in the manager, togeth- CT in Egypt, together in Nazareth, to- gether in the temple, and together at thecross of Cavalry. It is then only fitting that both names should find a warm place in my heart and both names should frequently flow from my lips" And he adds, it has been proven by countless examples, that devotion to the Immaculate mother of God shows itself particularly in purity of life; and no virtue is more pleasing to Jesus Christ than the holy virtue of purity.

the author of Alice in Wonderland:
In 1873 she received a letter in sin

from Christ church, Oxford. and sign
ed by c. L. Dodgson. The writer said
he had come across some fairy de-
signs of hers, and he should like to
see more of her work Some one in
formed her that the writer was Lewis
Carroll. He asked to be allowed TO
call upon her. but when he came she
was out, so they arranged meeting
in South Kensington Museum.
She wondered how she should
recognize him in the usual crowd, or
he her. She watched carefully, but
saw no one she thought could be the
author of her favorite book.
Finally, she heard high. vivacious
voices approaching and the laughter
of children. A gentlman entered
two little girls clinging to his hands
She knew him instantly. He stood
for moment, head erect, ana glanceC
swiftly around the room. Then he
bent downward and whispered some
thing to one Of the children. After {
moments pause she pointed straight
at Miss Thomson.
He at once came forward with ex.
tended hand.
