A Christmas PLEDGE

The clock in the tower of st.
Xavier's Church was striking twelve
as Margaret Clifton came slowly down
the steps and turned up the avenue in
the direction of home The dull, gray
shadows of the December afternoon
were already descending upon the New
England city as the young girl made
her way along the thoroughfare, at

class distinctions seemed destroyed; a
common tie of sympathy had united
education and illiteracy, wealth and
poverty, the aristocrat and the plebeian.

CHRISTMAS DAY.

The custom of celebrating special
day in memory of Christ's nativity is
one which dates from the earliest
ages of Christianity.
From primitive times the Eastern
church solemnized the birthday of
Our Blessed Lord on January 6. Rome,
however, with never-failing constancy,
has always celebrated this event on
the 25th day of December. Dom
Swithber Banner, o. S. B., is of the
opinion that Christmas must have
been instituted in Rome some time
after the year 243.
Hippolytes may be cited as one of
the earliest authorities in favor of
the 25th day of December He lived
in Rome during the first half of the
third century, and must have had the
best opportunities of learning the
primitive tradition of the Mother and
Mistress of All Churches" In d re-
Gently discovered commentary of his,
on the Book of Daniel, quoted by
Msgr, Duchesne, the date when
Christ was born is set down as the
25th of December. A Roman calendar
of the early part of the fourth cen
fury also inscribes the 25th of De-
cember as the birthday of Christ.
Pagan Rome also kept the festival
on the 18th of December 1t was the
Matthias Invicti (Solis), the birthday
of the sun; and the suggestion has
been made that this Influenced the
Church in fixing Christmas on the
same day. Be that as it may, one
cannot fail to see striking parallel
between the day of the winter soils
tice, when the sun is, as it were, uorn
anew, when the old Sol Justitia, the
sun of justice, who was believed by
the Roman Christians to have risen
for the first time upon the world
upon that day.
The feast of Christmas, then, must
be regarded as essentially a feast of
the Latin Church. It's institution
dates from Rome about the end of the
third century. From Rome, it found
it's way into the East.

A SAINT FOR THE WEEK.
ST. MAcARIUs OF ALEXANDRIA.

Macarius when youth left his
great st. Anthony. The Patriarch,
warned by a miracle of his disciples
sanctity, named him the heir of his
virtues. His life was one long con-
flict with self Since sleep at times
overpowered him, he kept watch for
twenty days and nights; being about
to faint he entered his cell and slept,
but henceforth slept only at will. A
gnat stung him, he killed it. In re-
venge for this softness, he remained
naked in a marsh till his body was
covered with noxious bites, and he
was recognized only by his voice.
Once when thirsty he received pres
ent of grapes, but passed them I'M
touched to hermit who was toiling
in the heat. This one gave them to a
third, who handed them to a fourth;
thus the grapes went the round of the
desert, and returned to Macarius, who
thanked God for his brethren's alb
stinence After being many years
Superior, he fed in disguise to ST..
Pachomius, to begin again as his
novice, but Pachomius, instructed by
vision, babe him return to his
brethren, who loved him as their
father. Macarius saw demons assail-
ing the hermits at prayer. They put
their fingers into the mouths of some,
and made them. yawn. They closed
the eyes of others, and walked upon
them when asleep. They placed vain
and sensual images before many of
the brethren, and then Knocked those
who were captivated by them. None
vanquished the devils effectually, save
those who by constant vigilance re-
PEELED them at once. Macarius visited
one hermit daily for four months, but
never could speak to him, as he was
always in prayer; so he called him an
"angel on earth" In his old age,
thinking nature tanned, he determined
to spend five days alone in prayer.
On the third day the cell seemed on
fire, and Macarius came forth. God
permitted this delusion, he said, lest
he be ensnared by pride. At the age
of seventy-three he was driven into
exile. and brutally outraged by the
Arian heretics. He died A. D. 1874

WHO WERE THE WISE MEN.

One Christmas mystery remains un-
solved Who were the wise men of
the East-the magi who followed the
star of Bethlehem from afar to do
homage to the newborn Saviour?
The simple story as told in the
Bible is one of the most familiar in
Christmas lore. Any child could re-
cite it in detail. Painters and sculp-
tors have made it the theme of the
most inspired products of their
brushes and chisels, but to this day
the identity of the wise men remains
a mystery. A search of the great
paintings in which the subject is
treated produces a bewilderment.
There are half a hundred different
ideas presented. The varying YER
sions of the books of the ages are as
many.
1t is fair to assume from the fact
that the visitors were received at
court by King Herod and that they
carried gifts of value that they were
in their own country men of royalty
or close to it. Herod evidently deemed
it well to treat them with Difference,
for disquieted though he was by their
news of the comet that was to lead
them to the birthplace of the Re-
deemer he dissembled and told them
that when they found the newborn
he would return to worship with
them.
Most of our information about the
early days of the Christian era comes
from the monk of the fourteenth cen
tury, who delved deeply into histor-
ical sources since lost to the world.
According to these monks, the wise
men were three great kings called
Caspar, Melchior and Balthasar. Cas-
par was the Oldest and from the
north. At the time of the birth of
Christ he was sixty years old, and for
more than two-thirds of that time he
ruled in Arabia. Balthasar was black,
a native of Saba, from the east, and
forty years old. The youngest was
Melchior, from the south, whose coun-
try was Tarshish. He was twenty
years old.
Impelled by some mysterious power
they dropped all the cares of state
and followed a single star thirteen
days and nights without eating or
sleeping till it led them to Jerusalem.
Then the story follows that of the
Bible until they returned to their
own countries.
The story does not stop here. 1t
tells Enthusiastically the after life
of the three wise men,. The good
Apostle st. Thomas journeyed to their
country and baptized them, and all
there went out to preach the doctrine
of the Christ.

THE SHEPHERDS.

1t was the shepherds of the fold
First heard the wondrous news,
What time upon the wintry void
They watched their lambs and
ewes,
1t was the simple shepherd folk
First heard His angels sing,
When from the deeps of midnight
broke
Respondent plume and wing,
And hill and vale to music woke
"All hail to Christ the King!"
It was the lowly and the poor
That heard the tidings first,
When on the eyes of swain and boor
Gods splendid angels burst.
1t was the simple shepherds sped
To seek the Holy Child,
Who found Him in His manger bed
Beside His Mother mild,
While Joseph bent in awe his head
And on the Saviour smiled.
Still, would We seek His place of birth,
Go search in hut and cot!
Not with the proud or great of earth
He casts His kingly lot.
But mid the poor the Saviour seek;
There Graded low He lies,
He hideth still among earth's weak
From undiscerning eyes.
Yea, veileth still His, Godhead meek
In simple human guise.

FEAST OF THE EPIPHANY.

The Feast of the Epiphany, or Mani
festation of Christ, is kept on Janu-
airy g. twelve days after Christmas.
1t is also known as the Feast
of the Magi, or the Three Wise
Men, as well as Little Christmas. 1t
commentaries, primarily, the mani
festation of the newborn Saviour to
came in human flesh His birth was
announced to the Jewish shepherds
who, following the directions given by
the angel, fastened to the stable at
Bethlehem to offer their homage to
Him as the long-expected of nations,
the Messias to whose advent the
chosen people had looked forward for
centuries with so much anxiety. We
know that Christ did not come exclu-
sively for the people of Judea. His
mission was to all mankind-to Cen
tile as we'll as to Jew. The calling of
the Gentiles to a participation in the
blessings which the Saviour came to
lavish upon His children, without re-
gard to race or nationality, was first
manifested on the day when the Magi,
or Wise Men from the East, repre-
senting the Gentle world, came to
adore the Christ-child and offer to
Him their gifts of gold, frankincense,
and myrrh. Through them the hom-
age of the Gentle world, that is, of
the countless generations of men who
were not of the Jewish race, was pre-
scented to the Babe of Bethlehem, just
as that of the people of Judea was
through the humble shepherds on the
first Christmas night.
On the Feast of the Epiphany the
Church also commentaries two other
manifestations of Christ, namely, that
which occurred at the time of His
baptism in the River Jordan at the
beginning of His public ministry when
the voice from Heaven proclaimed
Him the Son of God, and that which
took place at the marriage feast OF
Cana in Galilee when He manifested
His divine power by His first miracle
in which He changed water into wine
at the behest of His Blessed Mother
On all these occasions the divine
character and mission of the Saviour
was made known to the people.
In this country the Feast of the
Epiphany of our Lord is not holy
day of obligation. In the decree
"Supremi Discipline" issued on July
2, 1911, the Holy Father makes the
Feast of the Epiphany one of the
eight holydays of obligation to be OBJ
served in the old world on the days
of the week on which they fall. The
vigil of the feast is not a fast day be-
cause the entire Christmas season is
regarded as a time of rejoicing. II
brings to close the season, begin
ming with advent, during which the
solemnization of marriage is pro
hibited.

THE STAR.

Ages and ages ago there shone over
Bethlehem the wonderful, the marvel
GUS star. The wise men followed it.
Today we are with the wise of the
earth and are following the star over
hill and vale, through thorns and
desert waste, over the deep waters
and on sunny slopes, we press our
way to where the star shines. Some
times we forget what we are follow
ing, we tire of keeping our eyes
straight forward, We stray little
and see other brightness, we find the
path too thorny and sore for our feet,
we haste to find shelter from a threat
ening cloud, we grieve that congenial
friends are not sharing our quest and
seek them in other paths. We hear
of ease in quite another direction and
we falter in our journeying. The star
does not beckon so insistently as
when we first saw it's shining and we
listen for other wise men to tell us
that the star is, after all, an ordinary
comet and does not at all tell of peace
and good will.
Then memory turns sweet page
and prayers at a mothers knee draw
again to the star; the old church,
where the waters of baptism sparkled,
where the joy of first forgiveness
was realized, where the heavenly host
clustered around while the Lord of
Heaven condescended to unworthi-
ness again seems the dearest spot
on earth Again the brightness of the
star leads us on and heart and soul
we are with the wise ones of earth
and sharing their joyful quest. And,
after all, what is there on earth worth
doing but to follow the star? Our
dearest hopes fade and fall; friend
ships grow cold and love burns to
ashes; ambitions and plans and sue
cess slip from our grasp, leaving our
fingers too nerveless to clutch any
thing in their place; death shuts a
door which never opens again on
earth. We awaken from a foolish
dream to find the world an empty
bubble. But the star shines on If
we turn away, it still shines, for we
shall surely turn back to it; if we are
blind awhile, it still shines and shines
waiting for the unsealing of our eyes.
1t shines and beckons all the time
and, strongly or falteringly, we follow
its CLEAN.

cars. One of the other cars, he says,
he disposed of, while the other was re-
tugned to the company after the would
be purchaser had ridden in II for sew
eral hours.
In two of the instances, he says. he
deposited checks cor $3.50, but asserts
they were genuine. They bore his own
signature he says The check depos-
tied on the Haynes car was signed with
the name of Bush's father, H. H. Bush,

a reconciliation with her husband.
She denied that she had taken any
action "as yet" to revoke the power

SPIES
ON MIMIC BATTLE
Usefulness of Air Graft in War
fare Proved in Giant East
ern Maneuvers.

STAFFORD, CONN, Aug. 12.-The
value of aeroplanes for scouting pur-
poses in warfare was demonstrated to-
day by American army officers. The
aerial squadron stationed at the head
quarters of Major General Tasker H.
Bliss chief umpire of the great war
game. got into action early as soon as
the rattle of musketry between the OPP
posing Red and Blue armies was heard.
Lieutenant Foulois, in a Burgess
Wright machine, remained aloft for an
hour and fifteen minutes, and on land
ing reported large bodies of troops en-
gagged in battle in a triangle whose
points were marked by the cities of
Bridgeport. Derby and New Haven.
Governor Dix of New York accompa-
MED by Major DeKay, his military aid,
and an orderly watched the battle in
which Governor Foss Of Massachusetts
led the Massachusetts troops.
Fight Like Real War.
The first battle in the campaign for
the capture of New York was on today
between the Red army Of invasion and
the Blue forces of defense about three
miles east of Milford. The army of
invasion was victorious, and the Blues
were driven back in full retreat. Sew
eraI prisoners were taken by the Red
army, under command of Brigadier
General Frederick A. Smith.
At Derby the engineers threw up for
tifcations on a hill just north of the
town and put a pontoon bridge across
the Naugatuck river thus clearing the
way for the Red army to penetrate into
the Blue territory.
Foreign representatives who watched
the maneuvers were Colonel Jose Ava
los. of Mexico; Major Montana Gage. of
Great Britain and Colonel Baron De-
Bode. of Russia Their host was Brig
adler General Albert l.. Mills, COM
mander Of the Blue army.

Career Has Been
Full of Fight.

Haunted. because of his Southern
blood, he fought and beat Matty Nc
Intyre, teammate, then a famous out
fielder
Later. in his major league career, he
pummeled a hotel employee in Cleve-
land. He was indicted by a grand jury
in the Ohio city and for a while was
prevented from playing there. The
charge against him was finally set
tied.
Early in the present season he re
scented remarks made in reference to
him by a spectator in the New York
American league park grounds. He
dashed off the field, leaped into the
grandstand and manhandled the Of
fender until that person had to be car
red from the grounds.
He was suspended for this offense by
President Johnson, of the American
league, and his fellow players imme
diately struck in sympathy. Only
Cobb's personal request that they re-
sumo playing after it had appeared for
several days that a baseball war was
imminent ended the incident.
