Cures at Lourdes.

A reunion of persons who have been
healed at Lourdes took place at the
Hotel Condo, Paris, few days ago.
Each year such a gathering is held
and those present tell of their cures
Annually their numbers increase by
hundreds.
Among the women who testified to
having been cured were four who said
they had suffered from cancer and
had been given up by their doctors
before they were taken to Lourdes
in one case a single bath was all that
was necessary. In the other cases a
varying number of dimensions
save the sufferers back their health
and strength.
There were several tuberculosis pa
tlents, two girls who had suffered
from spinal trouble, and one young
woman who had five distinct COM
plants, all healed after two baths.
In many cases the doctors testified
ss to the genuineness of the cures.
All through the telling of the So
called miracles there were murmurs
of sympathy and surprise from the
hundreds of people gathered in the
rooms.

Essentials Of a Home.

Five hundred women, comprising
the Economic Social Club of Chicago,
spent half a day answering this ques.
ton: What are the three essentials
of a home? says the Catholic Union
and Times.
That they reached no conclusion
points a moral as to the great need
of religion on class and individual.
What heresy has come to may be
readily cleaned by the answer of a
minister: "A man, a woman and
cook stove," properties common to
any kind of dive. We would beg to
suggest as the three essentials, a de-
voted husband, faithful wife, and a
reverential child-the man, a type of
strong and certain faith, the woman
symbolical of tender, confiding hope,
and the child Of beautiful love.

Richard Croker Says Ireland Will Get
Home Rule.


Richard Croker, the former head Of
Tammany Hall, is in this country on
his annual visit to Florida, where he
has hunting lodge or something of
that sort. Croker has been for long
time an Irish squire, keeping up the
traditions of that order in hand
some estate in one of the most BEAU
tiful spots in the island. Speaking of
Irish political conditions, Croker pre-
diets change for the better. The
House of Lords is the one obstacle to
the realization of Irelands hope,
"but," he says, "the end Of the House
Ct Lords is near. When that end
comes. Ireland will be really free.
John Redmond and the Irish National
lists hold the key to the situation at
present and I honestly believe that
Home Rule is soon to come to Ire
land.
ireland is better off right now than
ever before in her history under Brit

THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT,

There is pleasure in giving and re-
ceiving when the gift is prompted by
affection. At Christmas time when
the spirit of good will is abroad and
the Christian world is rejoicing over
the supreme expression of heavenly
love, the gift-giving spirit is most in
evidence. Happiness tends to diffuse
itself, and so it is when one is thrilled
with JOY he delights to see those who
are dear to him experiencing the same
delights. Parents are happy when
their children are happy and the spir-
it of the whole family is much the
same as that of the member whose
joy or sorrow is most marked. But
at Christmas time the whole world
becomes a great family responding to
the spirit of Joy as the tuning fork re-
spends to it's own vibration rate.
But when Christmas Day comes we
should not be so far carried away by
rejoicing with one another as to for
get the Giver of all good gifts. It is
a day when we should hear Mass with
the greatest possible devotion and
return thanks to Him who has made
our happiness possible. It is a day
when we should ask for those graces
Of which we stand most in need, for
when the spirit of giving is so gen.
eral on earth can We not hope that
Cur petitions will not be in vain?
Nor should the little ones be for
gotten at Christmas time. They have
claim on our consideration which
cannot be overlooked. 1t takes but
little to delight the child and to i'm
press on its memory the spirit of the
day. 1t, too, likes to hear of things
that are strange and pleasant and in
proportion as it has been pleased it
will remember Christmas Day. There
are many poor children whose parents
haven't the means of giving them a
Christmas tree. Less than tree will
make them happy. To remember
them with even the slightest token
will bring joy to their little hearts.
And the consciousness of having
made an innocent child happy should
add to the donors Christmas joy.
The true spirit of Christmas con-
sists in diffusing happiness by help
ing those who are least able to Sc
cure the little luxuries that add so
much to the meaning of the day.
