CHRISTMAS HOLLY.

Christmas day brings the holly with
its white blossoms. it's green leaves
and its red berries. The holly Symbol
Lies all that Christmas means. Its
briars tell of Bethlehem and it's man
ger, the babe and the suffering; it
foretold the life of sorrow and pain,
which was to end only when the lance
of Calvary pierced His heart. Holly
white blossoms tell of the flower bios
soming on Aaron's rod, it recalls the
child of Bethlehem, the white blossom
of Gods power, His very word, whose
fragrance is to atone for mans ingra-
titude and heal the ills of mankind.
"Oh, red berries of the holly you tell
of blood Christians, can you not see
the blood around the brow of the Sa-
vior, telling of Calvary, the shadow of
whose cross may be seen over the
manger? Holly green leaves" you
remind us of gratitude which as an
evergreen, springs from the thought
of Gods love. as manifested in the
child of the manger. He fills the HUI
man heart with hope and keeps fresh
in mems lives their love of God The
holly belongs to Christmas and bears
with it good luck to the faithful soul

COUNTRY PRODUCES GREAT MEN

In an Advent sermon on John the
Baptist, Archbishop Glennon drew at
tention to the fact that it is the coun-
try which produces the most remark
able men.
1T is noteworthy fact" said the
Archbishop, land is borne in the
pages of human history, that the
mountain and the desert cradle great
er lives and grander thoughts than
does the town or the city. And of this
truth the Old Testament is especially
significant. The pillar of cloud by
day, and the pillar of fire by night
guided the Israelites in their wander
ings. The Lord spoke to Moses from
the burning bush. 1t was on the
mountainside that he received the ia
bles of the Lord. All the prophets of
Israel belong TO the mountain and
the desert rather than to the city.
And on the other hand much of
the wickedness and crime recorded In
the Old Testament are associated with
the city, as is easily seen when YOU re-
call the cities of the plain or of Baby
lon, or even Jerusalem itself. It was
only away from the city that the
blessed Savior found peace. His home
at Nazareth or His comings and
goi1Igs through Galilee were marked

A Babe whose silence is Divine;
Thou, who hast sinned and. suffered

For some time the artists have
been at work upon the Sistine chap
ell, Rome, and it has been made a
gem of purest ray serene" For many
years it was thought that this chapel
was so perfect that to touch it would
be to mar it. However, work by
committee of artists was commenced
a few years ago on the restoration of
Michael Angeles marvellous ceiling

ton with great success. Now the win
dows have been replaced and the in
auguration of this new work took
place the first of the month in the

Prophet of Christ, he had at the same

expecting the coming of a Redeemer
that they must prepare to meet him.

Rome.-The Pope, who is a hard
worker, thinks hard work is bless
ing. Talking on the subject with an
American prelate, he said Hard
work never killed man. though at
times it may give him hard knocks.
1t is surprising to find so many old
men on the missions who grow young
er each year by keeping at their noble
task. For instance, there is Bishop
Mgr. Cazet, who, despite his eighty
four years, is able to do active duty.
Bishop Cazet celebrated his silver ju-
bilee of conservation on October H.
During the past year in the course of
his missionary tours he confirmed
5.70S persons, and the number would
have been larger if more priests
were on hand to gather the harvest.

AS the college of cardinals now con-

short of the full quota, it is possible
that the Pope may appoint a few new
members. Twenty-seven cardinals are
more than 10 years old, seven being

The Holy Father has the greatest
admiration for our democratic insti-
tutions. His recent encyclical was
directed against a certain society of
France, and could not possibly be
taken for his attitude toward Amer
lean democracy. The cardinal who
has recently visited us-Cardinal Vim
cenzo Vannutelli-went home filled
with enthusiasm for our free institu-
TONS Thus, with four sentences
and a gesture of finality, Cardinal
Gibbons, prince of the Church and
the highest prelate of Catholicism in
America, dismissed the suggestion
that the recent encyclical of the Vat
lean against the French society of
the Sillon may be taken in any way
as indicating hostility toward dem
ocracy in America on the part of Plus
and the other rulers of the church.

Boston.-Rfchard Oney, IN his
speech as retiring president of the
Massachusetts Bar association at its
annual meeting, said:
ut would be natural 10 suppose that
country settled by men of the Eng
lish race and notable for its demo-
cratic institutions, would give to the
world a shining example of general
reverence for law and of the purity
and efficiency of the administration
of justice
But the melancholy and undenia-
BILE fact is that we are distinguished
among the nations for widespread
and chronic lawIessness; that the
court of Judge Lynch seems to be
constantly in session; that lynchings
for homicide are actually more nu-
merous than legal executions; that if
a malefactor is rich enough the prob
abilities of his suffering the just pen
alties of the law are slim indeed; and
that radical reforms in the applica-
ton and execution of the laws and of
the criminal laws in particular, are
imperatively required
These reforms, Mr.. Olney said, Will
be made only in response to a general
demand of the people.
