CHILDHOOD MEMORIES.

The sweetest memories that NOR

about the scenes of childhood. and
especially those which Christmas ere

throughout the stay of those they
loved.

Bethlehem's plain on that glad morn

vent Of Jesus has not lost its lustre.
Nav. il grows more luminous and
beautiful as the days go by. and man
kind IN greatly increasing numbers
is guided by it from the sorrows of
earth TO the joys of heaven. What a
wonderful impetus it gives for better
living, What aspirations it enkin-
dies in the hearts of the weary. heavy
laden souls. the sons Of toll and those
who would despair but for it's thrill

Christmas day put into servicei
What resurrection of buried hopes.
what struggles are renewed for better
living and for better things! Christ
cheers the sorrowing with jubilant
hopes, and bids them cast their care
upon Him who careth for them with
more than a mothers tenderest love.
He speaks peace to their troubled con-
science, giving them forgiveness, sym
pathy and strength, and points them
TO that haven of rest where no storm
ever sweeps across their SOULS filled
with eternal blessedness.

CARDINALS WOULD VISIT us.

A cablegram to the New York
Times from Rome says:
Cardinal vannutellis enthusiastic
report of his journey through the
United States has given rise in sever
al other members of the Sacred coll
lege to desire also to visit America.
This, however, is not feasible. without
obtaining special permission from the
Pope.
1t must be remembered that the
cardinals composing the Roman Gu
ria cannot leave the Eternal city even
for a single day, without Papal au-
thority- Only the six cardinal bish-
ops, whose sees are in the vicinity of
Rome, can visit their respective do
ceses at will.
Those who have expressed the de-
sire for a journey to America are
among the youngest and most learned
members of the Sacred college, but
it is not certain whether the Pope
will agree to their wishes. Still an
exception may be made for Cardinal
De Lai, on account of his important
position as the head of the consisto-
rial congregation, which deals with
all the most important ecclesiastic
questions regarding the United States.
Cardinal De Lai, in his request to visit
the United States, said he wishes to
make a complete trip of the country,
visiting all the large cities of the
country where there are Catholic in
Stitutions

service. AT the end the smoke be-
came so dense that the congregation
could hardly see the priest, but could
hear his voice coming to them through
the pail of smoke.
With the mass over, the members
of the congregation, of whom fortu-
nately there were few, owing to the
nclement weather, started in a mad
rush for the doors. Calmly Father
Kane stepped before the altar rail

THE POLES IN AMERICA.

In the confusion of tongues and ma

and while hearing mulch of the Irish,
Italians, and other interesting nation

are fast becoming a power in the land.

Elements was made in 1855, when a
large body of Poles, headed by a Po-
fish franciscan monk, established q
colony in Texas, which has lived and
flourished. They claim to have built
the first Polish church in America.
At present hundreds of what used
to be called abandoned farms" in
New England have passed into Polish
hands. They are also making great
inroads upon the eastern end of Long
Island in the same way The Con-
necticut valley and western Ihode
Island bid fair to become New Poland
in the not distant future. In Penn

sin and Michigan the Poles are pros

ing numbers.
1t is estimated that the total immi-
grafton Of Poles previous to 1907 was
about 1000 900; and that the total
Polish population, with Americana
born children. was 100000 in 1907.
For 1908 the figures are raised to A.

they gather together, the church and

up. They bid fair to make splendid

CHRISTMAS CAROLS.

Let us define a Christmas carol We
/ have been told lit is poem intended
usually to be sung as chorus. and it's
position lies somewhere between a
mere song and a hymn" Opinions
vary as to the origin of carols. Some
think they are of pagan origin. used
to celebrate the victory of light over
darkness, for it Is at Christmas the
days begin to lengthen after the win
ter soistice. 1t was In December that
our pagan forefathers held their great
feast in honor of Thor, the got Vt bat
ties. Our ancestors were won from
this worship by st. Augustine, who,
finding 1t Impossible to root out this
mid-winter festival determined to use
1t in commemoration of the Advent of
Christ; and in place of the dancing
songs of the old Saxon deities, carols
were composed to be sung at the re-
ligious ceremonies. These soon took
deep root in the English soil. and were
generally accompanied with dances.
The oldest known carol In England Is
one composed by King Canute. Some
attribute the origin Of carols to the
songs sung between the scenes of the
Mystery or Miracle plays Of the mid
die ages. Thus probably the first
waits were simply country folk who
Mystery play and repeated them at
hame at Chrismastide. Others say the
carol Is a pure ballad, although the
subject is religious. Words and mu-
sic belong, not to the church, but to
the hall, the lane, and the fireside.
The carollers bring news, so to say.
of the birth at Bethlehem, and relate
the story in homely verse, moralizing
thereon as they rhyme. The carol is
not liturgical, but domestic, social and
jovial
1t is not, however, our purpose to go
into the antiquity and history of car
OILS, but rather to plead for some little
regard for carols on the part of school
teachers and other possessed of some
musical talent, who. have up to now
neglected them. Carols certainly be-
long to Catholic tradition. Why should
we leave their maintenance to nom
Catholics? We seem to be missing a
chance. to be FORGETTING an oppor-
tunity. Anyone who takes the trou-
Bile to read through the simple word
ing of published carols cannot fail to
see how clearly and emphatically they
declare the Catholic doctrine of the
Incarnation, the Redemption, the Vir-
ginity of Our Lady, and the true
Christian meaning of Christmastide.
They tell us of the Son of God born
an Infant, born of the Virgin Mary, of
His lowly birth in Bethlehem, of the
of the angels, the guardian
ship of st. Joseph. of the worship Of
the shepherds and the eastern kings.
of glory to God on high, and peace on
earth to men of good viii.
Why should Catholic school teach i
ers forego such opportunities of pro-
claiming, by the voices of their chill |
dren, the good tidings of great joy at
time?

PARENTS AND CHILDREN.
If children could realize but a small

If children could realize but a small
portion of the anxiety their parents
feel on their account, they would pay
far greater respect to the parental
wishes. A good child. one in within
confidence can be placed, is the one
who does not allow himself to dlsobey
his parents. when they are absent, in
that he has reason to believe they
would disapprove. were they present.
The good advice is so often engraven
on the heart of a child, that after
years of toll and care do not affect it;
and in the hour of temptation, the
thought of a parent has been the sal
walton of the child, though the par
ent may be sleeping in the grave, and
the ocean may roll between that sa-
cred spot and the tempted. A small
token Of parental affection borne
about person-especially parents
likeness-would frequently prove a
talisman for good.
A Polish prince was accustomed to
carry the picture of his father always
in his bosom: and on any particular
occasion he would look upon it and
say, LET me do nothing unbecoming
so excellent father" Homer they
father and thy mother" is the com-
mand of Good. and happy Is the child
who acts accordingly.

FAITHFUL UNTO DEATH.
BY WmLIAM IJvTNGSTON

BY WILLIAM LIVINGSTON.
In making excavations at Pompeii,
the workmen found the skeleton of a
sentinel, who had evidently persisted
martyr to his duty.)
Fierse, burning showers around him
from the burning crater fell,
The sufferings of his tortured frame
no living tongue may tell;
He stood where duty babe him stand
and watched his people fly,
With longing eyes. and heart that
yearned with them to live or die
Thick clouds of choking. murly
smoke half blinded him and
rolled
Through mansion wide and temples
rich in ornaments of gold;
And through the gloom, like meteors,
the burning missiles cleaned,
Till all the wild confusion like the
worlds destruction seemed.
The fiery lava rolled along the now
deserted street
The deadly flood would soon destroy
all chance of his retreat:
Yet still his manhood proudly crushed
the feelings of his heart
Twas only death to stand his ground,
dishonor TO depart.
He stood, that brave and gallant
heart though all beside had
flown,
And met the grim destroyer there,
unfriended and alone;
He died, like true nobility personified
in clay,
And taught mankind lesson it
should learn again today.
tbs sweet to do ones duty in a grand
and holy cause,
With ev'ry expectation of a waiting
worlds applause;
But, oh! to yield obedience and die
unseen. unknown,
Is that rare type of bravery which
only saints have shown.
oh, Imam! if thy heroic soul would half
SO firmly stand
For truth and faith, as to obey an
other ones command;
If fearless through storm and gloom
thou high dist hold the cross,
How little cause had we to sigh for
Eden and its loss.
Though human passions blind us and |
mfsfortunes round us fall,
A faithful, trusting heart can see the |
hand of God in all,
But. OH how many fly and give to sin !
their latest breath!
How few, through all the worlds tur- |
MOL, are faithful unto death"

NEW CHIEF JUSTICE OF UNITED
STATES,

The new chief justice of the United
States, White, is Louisiana man OF
a very old American Catholic family
originally from the east. Chief Justice
White made his early studies at
Spring Hill college, Alabama, and pur-
sued his law studies at the Jesuit col
lege in Georgetown, d. c. Spring Hill
college is an offshoot from st. Louis
university, and for this reason Mr.
White, during the celebration of the
diamond jubilee of st. Louis universe
ty. in 1904, was eligible to receive
from st. Louis university the degree
of Ii. D., an honor conferred at the
same time upon a number of other
distinguished men. This degree,
which is purely honorary, was upon
that memorable occasion conferred by
st. Louis university for the last time:
and as the names of candidates were
given out according to their alpha
betical order the last one to receive
the degree was the future chief justice
of the United States. Edward Duglas
