On Christmas Day each priest
who desires to avail himself Of the
privilege may celebrate three
Masses; and there are few priests
who do not take advantage of this
great concession. In districts
where the priest is charged with
the care of several missions he
makes an effort to celebrate Mass
in three different places in order
that the faithful may participate
in the spiritual joys Of the holy
season. In the majority of cases
this entails no inconsiderable
hardship; but it is willingly un-
dertaken for the good Of his flock.
The custom Of saying three
Masses on Christmas Day is said
to have been introduced by Pope
Telesphorus, who presided over
the Church in the second quarter
of the second century. The triple
celebration of the Holy Sacrifice
reminds us Of the three-fold birth
of our Saviour generation of
the Father in eternity; His birth
of the Virgin Mary in time; and
His spiritual birth in the hearts of
the faithful. In many places the
first Mass is said at midnight.
Among us it is usually celebrated
very early in the morning. The
faithful who attend one Mass full
I'll the obligation of hearing Mass
on the Feast of the Nativity and
are not required to assist at the
other two. Many people, however,
observe the pious custom Of hear
ing three Masses on Christmas
Day.

BRYAN AND TOTAL ABSTINENCE.

believe that too little emphasis has
been placed upon the Importance Of
total abstinence, says William Jen-
nings Bryan. While | would appeal to
people not to drink because drinking
is unnecessary, expensive, hurtful and
dangerous, I would make an appeal
on even higher ground. Even If one
money for drink and is sure that he
can Withstand the temptation to drink
to excess, still there is a sufficient
reason why he should join the total
abstainers rather than remain in the
ranks Of the moderate drinkers. Man
is responsible for his example and if
he loves his brother as he ought to,
he will seek to strengthen those who
are weak by an example that will be
helpful. He will not for the fleeing
pleasure of an occasional glass risk
leading others astray. 1t would re-.
quire great deal Of pleasure to out
weigh the anguish that one must
suffer who Is conscious that he has
been the means of blighting the life
of one who looked to him for an
example. Society is divided into two
classes on this subject, those who
drink and those who do not drink. In
every land this line can be drawn
with accuracy. If one drinks at all
he is known either as a moderate
drinker or as a drunkard, and the
term moderate drinking is so uncer-
tain that his example will be made
to cover multitude of sins. It is
the part of wisdom to identify one
self with those who do not drink at
all. This course will pay dividends
in economy, in health and in security.

tunity to sign 1t since. / shall con-
tinue to sign it whenever my example
will help another. I may not be able
to do much affirmative good in the
world, but when come to die I can
at least feel that no man can ever
say that my example has led him to
begin or continue the use of intoxicat-
ing liquor as beverage.

THE DRINK HABIT.

The drink habit is growing, espe-
cially among our women, from shop
maid and nymph du pave to the pam
pered danes of upper society. The
punch bowl figures at all functions,
and proud-pied women dip freely
therein, ten drinking today where one
drank dozen years ago. School
misses and college girls are conspicu-
GUS among the throng, writes DR..
Quackenbros of Columbia University
in Temperance Educational Quarterly.
Debutantes, not necessarily OF the
fast set, unblushingly assert right
to drink wine and smoke cigarettes at
luncheons and levees, to say nothing
of private indulgence, and not few

not be named in decent society, pro-

straints of self-respect break down
with the moral elements of the brain

The Christmas Lesson

In a far land, within an ancient fame
/ saw stained window, fashioned
rare
BY long-dead hands that wondrous cum
ming knew:
The sun streamed thro'. and such a
mesh of hues
Blended and flowed that Heaven
seemed open there!
One glimpsed afar the battlements OF
Zion
Golden against sky of tender blue
The green Judean wales. the colored
hills
The sheep-folds and the vineyards
here and there,
The cedars and pomegranates, and the
walls
OF many a scattered towns whose dat
tened roofs
Flung or the level sun. In the fore
ground
Was seen the stable, low, and roughly
built
And on the floor OF straw the shep-
herds knelt
With Joseph and the Mother. And
the Child
Lay in the manger-Lord OF Heaven
and Earth!
Gazing upon the world with wondering
eyes
The world He had created. that had
fallen,
And now He must redeem! And sud
denly
The marvel and the pity OF it all
Transfxed my soul. and in that olden
fame
/ knelt me down in alteration low
Unmindful OF the hurrying hours that
passed
Till came Voice that filled the pill

worlds desire

doth prize

At this season of good cheer the
charity that forgets the needs of
the aged poor, the destitute fam
lily, and the helpless orphan is
cold and unchristian. The poor
are the special friends Of the
Saviour who has promised to re-
ward all who help to brighten
their lot. Make your Christmas
happy by deeds of kindness and

SOCIALISM AND THE CATH.
OLIC CHURCH.

1t is an undeniable fact, says
America" that modern Social
ism is characterized by unbelief,
hostility to religion and, above all
by uncompromising and bitter
hatred and denunciation Of the
Catholic Church. The public
utterances Of its leading advo-
Gates, it's newspaper organs and
periodicals, breathe hatred and
threats against revealed religion,
it's doctrines and institutions.
Books published by Socialist lead
ers deny the existence of God, the
Immortality of the human soul, the
redemption Of mankind by Christ,
the rightful existence of our pres
ent social organization, and the
independence of the Church as a
society complete in itself and
founded by God. And yet, when
blamed for such utterances, they
will maintain that the Church is
opposed to the Socialist party, not
because it is a party of unbeliev-
ers, but because it is a party of
workingmen; not because it at
tacks religion, but because it at
tacks capital.
Socialism, they say, is the
cause of the poor man, it is the
philosophy of the suffering
classes; but the Church is the paid
guardian Of the interests Of the
capitalists. The Socialists, how
ever, forget that the Catholic
Church is the Church Of the poor,
and has been the Church Of the
poor since the days Of the
Apostles. They ignore the fact
that the Catholic Church has
opened orphan asylums, hospitals
and other institutions of beney-
olence and charity for the poor
"has aroused everywhere, - as
Pope Leo says, "the heroism Oh
charity and has established con.
gregations of religious and many
other useful institutions for help
and mercy, so that hardly any

They hold out promise, they
clamor for the emancipation Of
labor, the amelioration of the slot
of the poor man, and his full parti

tual and spiritual heritage Of the

charity, but only justice. Now
the Catholic Church does not want
to curtail the right of the work
ingman. Pope Leo XIII, in his
encyclical on the labor question
recognizes the right Of the work
