"Pay as You Enter"

Now loads of people argue, DO my
Christmas shopping first, and pay
what owe after New Year." Be ad-
vised-don't do it that way; just try
the other way round. Hurry and pay
bills first-then you have earned the
right to spend all that is left with a
merry heart.
You might shake few bad habits
and give a few excellent new ones a
chance to bud and blossom on the
branches of your life. Shake off any
characteristics that disfgure your
moral nature: Avarice, greed, self.
ishness, disloyalty and vanity. Throw
away all old hatreds--of all things
extant they most insidiously eat into
the tree Of joyous living. Forget old
love affairs that have left you heart
aches. They suggest defeat and dis
appointment, if nothing more bitter.
Set the taper Of your homage before
the shrine of another sweet saint;

tending loves altar fires-all equally
lovable. Yet If the love you cherish
is so strong and true, clings so pas
sionately to your tree of life, that
you cannot escape it, then cherish it,
bury it deep in your heart roots as
the tree withdraws it's sap to Utmost
shelter; treasure it safe from storm
and frost until the warm south wind
of new year steals over your life
and calls it skyward to bloom in Joy.
Yes, shake of the useless, the
shriveled, the worthless things of
1913, but hold fast to the thrill OF
vital things the year has bestowed
upon you. Let these treasures live
and share with your renewal of life
in a coming ~ months.

Respect for Authority.

In all ages of the church the worldly
Catholic has been an obstacle to the
advancement of Gods kingdom on
earth. To be captious, critical, scorn.
full of authority is to be of the world
condemned by Christ. In all that con.
Germs morality and religion the gospel
spirit is that of humility, docility and
obedience. 1t happens betimes that
some of us, heavy with the wine of
prosperity, and unconscious of our
own littleness, wax denunciatory when
an episcopal mandate strikes at a
custom sanctioned by the world. The
sensible Catholic, however, salutes his
captain, keeps in step with the army
and moves on.

The Nuns at Gettysburg.

There were other heroes at the bat
tie of Gettysburg besides the wearers
of the blue and grey. There were
heroines of the black-the Catholic
Sisters who went to the front to tend
the wounded and console the dying.
These, by some strange oversight,
were not mentioned in any reports in
the daily press any more than if they
never had an existence. A gentleman
who knows something of the part
they played, and chronicled it in a his
tory, has written to the Record" to
correct the singular omission. He
said in part: ''Emmitsburg, where
the mother house of the Sisters of
Charity is located, is only about ten
miles from Gettysburg, and when the
news of the battle reached that place
a dozen of the nuns, under the guild.
ance of Father Burlando, started for
the scene we'll supplied with sponges,
bandages, and clothing. The wheels
of their carriage literally ran through
rivulets of blood. Father Burlando
fastened white handkerchief on the
end of a stick as a sign of their pa
cific intentions. In less than an hour
after their arrival they were at work
binding the wounds of the stricken
soldiers and bathing many a fevered
brow. The Catholic church was util
lied for hospital purposes, and it was
here that the most of their work was
done. They also attended the sick at
the Pennsylvania College building
which was being used as prison fol
Confederate soldiers. Surgeons were
scarce at the time, and in many cases
the nuns did the work that is usually
performed by the medical men. The
next day other Sisters were hurried
from Emmitsburg, and in short time
they had force that was competent
to cope with the great task before
them. How we'll they did it is a mat
ter of history that is sometimes over
looked. After it was over they re
ceived grateful letter of thanks from
Governor Curtin"

THE CHRISTMAS TREE.

A feature of interest and innocent
amusement of the hallowed Christmas
season, especially for the young, is
the visit of Santa Claus and the set
ting up of the yearly Christmas tree.
The goodness of parents, in thus con.
tributing to the happiness of their lit
tie ones, is in every way commend
able, but do they teach those little
pure hearts the meaning of the Christ
mas tree? Do they inculcate the NOR
al lesson it is intended to convey?
What does the Christmas tree stand
for or represent?
To the first Christians it was SYM
bolic of the fair and fruitful tree
which the Prophet Isaiah foretold
should spring forth "out of the root
of JESSE" and would fill the world
with the fruits of salvation-namely,
Our Blessed Redeemer. The colored
tapers that shed their soft light amid
the branches of the tree, typify the
divine light which dispelled the dark
ness of paganism, while the fruits and
other gifts that adorn the tree speak
to us of the fruits of peace and the
gifts of grace that the Christ-Child
brought to all men of good will in the
first of Christmas nights. Finally,
there is the sequence of days until
our Lady's Publication or Candlemas
Day, the echo, as it were, of the glori-
GUS festivity-and thus the Christmas
tide is ended.

CHRISTMAS.

Christmas is the season of love and
laughter, the season of human affec,

Christ, by a lavish kindness to His
brother, our neighbor.
Everywhere, the spirit of giving fills
mems hearts. Around the domestic
hearth, hands and hearts join in the
presence of devoted affection. The
laughing eyes of children and sweet
faces of old age reflect with their glad
light the symbolic candles of the
Christmas tree. Not an asylum or or
phanage but rings on Christmas day
with merriment of those homeless
ones, so beloved of the homeless child
Jesus.

Poor Man!

A well known university professor

months ago. His wife observed him

carrying his banner so that it hung

THE NATIVITY.

The world had existed about four
thousand years when Jesus Christ, the
Son of God, having taken human flesh
in the womb of the Virgin Mary, and
being made man, was born for the
redemption of mankind, at Bethlehem
of Judea. Joseph and Mary had come
up to Bethlehem to be enrolled, and
unable to find shelter elsewhere, they
took refuge in stable, and in this
lowly place Jesus Christ was born.
The Blessed Virgin wrapped the d.
vine Infant in swaddling-clothes, and
laid Him in the manger. While the
sensual and the proud were asleep, an
angel appeared to some poor shep-
herds. They were seized with great
fear, but the heavenly messenger said
to them: Fear not; for behold, l
bring you good tidings of exceeding
great joy, that shall be to all the peo-
pie. For this day is born to you a
Savior, Who is Christ the Lord, in the
city of David: And this shall be a
sign to you; you shall find the Child
wrapped in swaddling-clothes, and laid
in manger." After the departure Of
the angel the wondering shepherds
said to one another: LET us go over
to Bethlehem, and let us see the word
that is to come to pass, which the
Lord hath shown to u.s." They imme-
diately fastened thither, and found
Mary and Joseph, and the Infant ly-
ing in the manger. Bowling down,
they adored Him, and then returned
to their flocks, clarifying and prais-
ing God.

GOOD MANNERS.
The Home Should Be to All the
Dearest Place on
Earth.

Our home ought to be to US the
dearest place on earth, and it is the
duty of every member of the family to
make it so. AS children, we spend
the long period Of our growth at
home, where we are fitted to take our
place in the world of men and wom-
en-. We should, therefore, be more
polite, more thoughtful, more enter.
tanning and more helpful at home than
anywhere else. Thus, when we 60
out into the world we need not put
on show of good manners, for these
will have become a part and parcel
of ourselves.
Good manners will become natural
if they are habitually practiced in the
family circle. The children's behavior
towards their parents must ever be
marked by love and respect. They
must love their parents because, after
God, they are their greatest benefac-
tors. They owe respect and obedi-
ence to their parents, who hold the
place of God and have their authority
from Him.
A child that loves its parents will
seek every opportunity to render them
some little service; will grieve when
it cannot add to their happiness; will
never be carried away by anger; will
never permit a harsh or offensive
word to cross it's lips in their pres.
ence; and will assist them, in health
and sickness, with every kind atten-
tion that love will suggest.
A polite child will always speak to
it's parents in respectful tone of
voice, will gladly accept their advice
and follow it, and especially will never
contradict them. An obedient child
will never show dissatisfaction, by
pouting and grumbling, when parents
refuse permission or forbid anything
that would be to its liking.
The father is the head of the fam
lily. 1t is he who labors for the sup
port and education of his children, and
therefore the gratitude which they
owe him will teach them to act with
kindness and respect.
Polite and grateful children will al.
ways salute their father when meet.
ing; will never forget to say Father"
when addressing him; will quickly
and cheerfully obey not only his posi-.
tive commands, but his very wishes;
and in general will be solicitous for
his comfort.
The mother shares the government
Of the family with the father, and
with him works for the welfare Of the
children. The same motives should
therefore prompt children to show
every mark Of love, respect and ODE.

A polite son will act towards his
mother with more civility and gentle.

when he is in the same room with her,
or when meeting her in public. A 20.
