First Number To Be Given soon,

no doubt of the reception that will be
accorded to the course this season,
which will be, if anything stronger
than either of the proceeding ones,
and will have the additional adyan-
tage of being given in the new Audi
forum, which will not only furnish
much better and more convenient

"Yule' of "Nerrie England" is the old Teu-
tonic name of the religious festival of the win
ter solstice, during which Celt and Roman
could trace the movements of their deities as
they walked abroad in the world.
The Story Christmas Tells.
The Christian religion is not merely some
thing built over the old ethnic religions as the
church Of St. Maria Sopra Minerva in Rome is
built over the ruins Of the old heather temple
of Minerva, or as the grove sacred to Adonis
was planted by the order of the Emperor Had
rian over "the cave close to the village" which
is now honored as the scene of the Savidlrs
birth. It had larger and deeper meaning.
Christmas tells the story of gradual but
complete unfolding of the divine idea of relig-
ion as seen in the Christ Child, of it's worship
and its merrymaking in its at once sacred
and social feast.
The story is told simply but graphically by
two of the four evangelists St. Marks gospel
begins with the baptism of the Christ so log
ically he had no need to tell the story of his
birth and boyhood. st. John wrote near the
close of the first century, and with the domi-
nant idea of setting forth the divinity of
Christ in opposition to the prevailing gnosti-

GOVERNOR NOT THE VICTIM.
Minnesota's Executive Explains Train

Washington, D. c. - Reports that
Gov. Eberhart of Minnesota had been
swindled out of $3.50 by card sharps
on a Pennsylvania railroad train on
his way East caused a mild sensation
in Washington.

rather reluctantly to friends by the
governor, shows that instead of being

arrest of at least one of them.
The gamblers were operating on the
Manhattan Limited, which left Chicago
Wednesday morning. They had cleared
up considerable sum of money from
various victims and Gov. Eberhart in.
sisted that some one should complain
to the train authorities. None of the
victims would consent to take action
against them, so Gov. Eberhart took it
upon himself to be prosecutor Before
the train reached Fort Wayne he
made complaint to the train conductor
and later notified the railroad police

tian era pagan Europe. in all it's tribes and
peoples, had celebrated its chief festival So
here we have the double truth of the golden
age and the rebirth of the unconquered sun,
as he breaks the power of darkness, refined
and enriched in the Christian teaching Of
peace on earth and good will to men," as
coincident with the rising of the Sun of
righteousness in the birth into the world of
the son of the peasant woman who was also
the Son of God.
This view of Christmas accentuates the
true place OF the Christian religion in relation
to the ancient and deepseated religions which
preceded it, and at the same time reveals
beauty of development in its elimination as
the completed manifestation of God to man.
In the infancy of the race the winter solstice
was everywhere season of rejoicing. No
matter what the peculiar form which it as
sumed, it expressed the world Joy of the time.
So the very idea of the Child God which gives
Christmas its meaning may not only have been
foretold by sybil and seer and prophet, but
prefgured by the infant gods of the Greek and
Egyptian and Hindu and Buddhist forms Of
religion.

pastor of st. Anthony of Padua church,
Eighth avenue and Main street north
east, will succeed the late John Shan
ley to the bishopric of Fargo. An
nouncement of the appointment made
in dispatch from Rome which reads:
Rome, Dec. 14.-Approving the
recommendations Of the consist
orial congregation as presented
by the secretary, Cardinal De Lai,
the pope today appointed Rev.
James O'Reilly, now rector of the
St. Anthony Of Padua, Minneapo-
lis, Mimi, to the bishopric Of
Fargo, N. d., and the Rev. NJ. F.
Fallon of the Provincial oblates
of Buffalo to the bishopric of Lon
don, Canada.
The bishopric of Fargo has been
vacant since last June, when Bishop
Stanley died, after a long illness. 1t
is growing diocese and ranks as one
of the most important in the North
west. The naming of the Minneapolis
priest for the place is regarded as a
high compliment to the ability and
standing of Father O'Reilly as a
churchman.
Father O'Reilly is So years old. He
studied for the priesthood at the SEM
mary Of All Hallows, Ireland, and
came to the United States when a
young priest. He was assigned as
vicar at Saltwater, where he served
for number of years and then came
to Minneapolis. He has been pastor
at st. Anthony of Padua for 26 years.
