The yearly drink bill in ireland for
1911-1912 was s6S,553,205 or $3.50 per
capita. That shows that another
Father Mathew is needed in the Elmer
aid Isle. In England and Scotland the
per capita expenditure for intoxicat-
ing liquor is much higher, but that is
no reason why the Irish should drink
SO much. Perhaps it is the aristoc-
racy who drink the most of the liquor,
for a traveller in the island sees no
signs of intoxication. A temperance
crusade on the eve of Home Rule
would do much good. AS Archbishop
Ireland said many years ago: Gre
land sober is Ireland free" There are
1861 public houses in Ireland, being
a reduction of 900 in ten years. Some
5000 of them should have been wiped
out of existence in decade.

SWEDISH SISTERS
Of Saint Brieida Have Convent in
Rome.

The following letter. which speaks
for itself, has been sent to the Irish
Standard for publications:
/ Some eight minutes walk from St.
Peters, on one of the ways just with
out Porta Cavalleggeri, the transients'
attention may perhaps be drawn to an
unpretentious villa Santa Brigida."
There, at last, after much tribulation,
the daughters of Swedens great saint
hope to be able to continue their work
in the Eternal City and there they
strive in poverty to follow the rule
bequeathed to them by their holy
foundress. In this humble convent
prayer and labor are constantly Of
fered for the return of the Scanii-
navian peoples to the one true fold and
Its doors are ever open to welcome
the children of the north, as in days
gone by when the Donnis Sanvtae
Brigittae, which has since passed into
other hands, was their hospice, and
this especially fit in Rome, the center
of Catholic unity. Here Swedes,
Danes, Norwegians will still find not
only the historic souvenirs of the past
in the spots hallowed by st. Birgitta's
life and death sanctuaries which even
Protestants rarely fail to visit when
in the Eternal City, but as it were a
living link in the spiritual children Of
the saint, uniting that glorious past
to the present, and in her modest
convent, one of their own race believ-
ing as did St. Brigitta, clothed in the
language .-.
One must live in Rome to realize
the good that can be and is thus often
accomplished by loyal Catholics, for
here the evil one is very busy, per-
haps more than elsewhere and every
effort is made to poison the minds of
not only the italian people but Of
strangers and visitors in Rome,
against Holy Mother Church.
Any help sent the Bridgettine Sis
tiers will be most gratefully received.
If only they could raise $4,000, the
sum required to secure their present
convent. Young girls drawn to labor
and prayer in the religious states for
the return to Catholic unity of the
nations SO long severed from Mother
Church and deprived of her inestim-
able blessings, may address or be di-
! rected to Rev. Mother of Villa Santa
Brigida. 1873 Via Aurelia, Rome. Italy.

A CHRISTMAS GREETING.


For the 9th time during it's publ
cation, the Irish Standard wishes all
Its patrons a Merry Christmas and
Will say Il few words on the joyous
festival to be celebrated on Wednes-
day of next week-December 25-
throughout the Christian world.
the birth of Christ, Son of God anc
Savior OF mankind, is the gladdest day
In the Year to all believers in His
divinity. To the members of the
Catholic church it is the day of all
days In the Roman calendar. and NV
them it will be celebrated with deyout
hearts in every land or earth from
the rising of the sun to the setting
thereof. The Holy Sacrifice of the
Mass will be offered upon a million
affairs with the greatest pomp and SOL
emnity and the most eloquent pane
gyrics of which human tongues are
capable will be delivered from innun
cradle pulpits in many languages on

to the most gorgeous ceremonials and

VIII resound with the Gloria in Elk

the lowly village in Palestine twenty
centuries ago.
In America Christmas Day is now
observed by all Christian denomina-
tions. but time was when it was con-
sldered "a Romish festival" observed
by Irish Catholics and other adher-
ents of the Pope of Rome. In New
England, especially, Christmas Day
was scoffed at by the Puritans, and
Thanksgiving Day was substituted for
1t to praise God from Whom all bless
ings flow. To this day in some Of the
States of the Union Christmas is not
recognized as "a legal holiday. Even
Minnesota. which was first explored by
Catholics. only recognizes it indirectly
as a holiday in it's statutes by provid-
ing that maturing paper and bills of
exchange. etc. falling due on Christ
mas Day shall be due and payable on
the business day preceding.
The children of st. Patrick are
largely responsible for the change in
sentiment regarding Christmas among
the descendants of the Puritans. The
Irish Catholics. like the English Pill
grims, had been victims of religions
prosecutions and restrictions at home
put never abandoned the faith. When
they came to America they brought
with them a love of Christmas Day
and celebrated it in the land of their
adoption. Despite all opposition from
Americans Of English stock, the off,
spring of Cromwellians, saturated with
bigotry. the Irish Catholics celebrated
the FESTIVAL on every recurring ami.

the Puritans (not Of the Pilgrims)
much against the grain. finally Joined
them In the observance of the day az
religious festival. Some of the Puri-
tans, however, drifted into the Uni.
tartan faith and rejected the divinity
Of Christ. George w. smalley must
be one of them for he boasts he is
descended from generations of Puri-
tans and has "a hatred of Ro,nanism
in my bones and flowing in every
vein"

The American Catholic" is not a
Catholic publication. 1t is the organ
of the E'piscopalians and consequently
1t is Protestant. Why not call it "The
Anslo-American Protestant" 1t has
no right to be called Cath. ,lic at all.
AS everybody knows, or ought to
Know, the founder of the Episcopal
Church was Henry VIII. of England, a
pfous, wife-killing monarch. No won-
der that fearing, decent Episco-
palians are ashamed Of the name of
Protestant Episcopal. Their fore
fathers protested" against the Cath
Ollie Church and now the descendants
cannot rghtfully call themselves
Catholics, Anglo Catholics or Anglo
American Catholics until they return
to the ancient church and embrace it's
doctrines. Then they can call them
selves Catholics in reality.

J. SLAVERY.

Slavery is a crime-Yet there
is many men who are growing
rich off the Slave trade. And
there is a great many men, who
are sleeping with the pale ma
tions of the earth, who during
their live time grew rich off this
terrible crime.
We were surprised one time at
Prof. Jones an Englishman from
London who said a slave and a
servant meant the same thing.
And it 10 true, there is many
to-day, who think that those two
words express the same mean
ing But the difference is this,
to be 4 faithful servant,is honor:
able, but slavery is q crime. -
And to prove this fact we shall
only 20 back to the early day OF
America, and investigate the bis.
tory only, of this country. The
first evidence of slavery that we
have in this country was when
England tried to enslave the A.
[merican Colonies. And the
crime increased so much that it
!, cost many lives to clear the ty'
ranical power from this land and
country,
Next we saw her power mani
tested in the Black Slave trade
in the South, and just look a.
the lives it cost and the blood
that was shed to free this coun
try Of the terrible crime Bu'
now we see her in all her black
( ..l
->ened garments in the white
slave trade of young girls.
!, This is the most hyneou'
lcrime OF all slave trades that ha.
| ever decked God s foot.stool. 4
slave is bound to obey their mas
ter. A servant just serves, al
they feel it their duty and thel
] sh;ps:g they are not bound t
/ aegve, but it is left to their owl
discretion. Slavery is compul
Isety. and a.crime. Ssrvitude j
