MANY A SLIP IN
PROVERB CONTEST
A Dropped Comma Often Lost
Contestant a Chance for
Prize.

The correct answer to illustration
No. 9 in the Evening Star proverb
contest was:
You may lead a horse to water but you
cannot make him drink.
The answer to illustration No. %
was:
There's many slip 'twixt the cup aud
the lip.
In answering these two illustra-
tons there were perhaps more mis-
takes made than in any two pre-
vious ones that have been answered
so far. Many contestants answered
the ninth illustration incorrectly,
submitting wrongly worded proverbs
such as You can lead a horse to
water but you cannot make him
drink" You may lead a horse to
water. but YOU can't make him
drink" "A horse may be led 10
water but cannot be made to drink"
or "a horse can be led 10 water, but
you can't make him drink"
Wrongly worded answers were also
received for the tenth illustration in
hundreds of forms. A few of these
were: There is many a slip 'twixt
the cup and the lip "There is many
a slip between the cup and the lip,
There's many a slip between the
cup and the lip Between the cup
and the lip there is many a sir"
etc.
A number of proverbs that had no
connection whatever with the illus
trations We're sent in as answers.
This was perhaps done through
haste to get the proverb answers to
The Star office before other contest
ants. There was absolutely no rea-
son why contestants should have
hurried unnecessarily in the work,
as it is quite probable that the first
answers received will be among the
last to be considered by the contest
judges.
In tomorrow's Evening Star will
appear the answers to proverb illus
trations Nos IL and II.

LITTLE TO FEAR.

OF late attention has been drawn
to the attempt to reorganize the
defunct A. p. A. in New York City,
which makes good copy" for the
newspapers. But there is little
likelihood that the promoters of the
scheme will succeed in making the
dead bones of that organization live
again. Even the breath of bigotry
Dwerless in the presence of that
Iputrid corpse. Some twenty years
ago, the A. P. A. was practically in
control of several cities in the
Middle West. But it could not last,
despite the cohesive power of
public plumber" 1t was founded
upon religious hatred and political
prescription; the spirit of fair play
and the common sense of the vast
majority of American citizens could
not long permit the abomination to
endure. 1t was laid away in a dis
honored grave. and few Of those who
once belonged to the organization
ever want to have it's memory re-
called. Its lesson has been learned,
though it was a bitter one, and
there will be no more A.. P, A.
organizations where once the disas-
trous effects of bigotry run mad
were apparent. The newer genera
tion may be deceived for a time by
the ranting of bigots. But it will
soon learn its lesson. AS the True
Voice well says, If Catholics in
public life are what they should be,
they have little to fear from the
opposition of bigotry.

ANOTHER WARNING.

Warnings against Socialists and
Socialism are manifest every day,
and Americans should heed them
lest they turn against law and order
and their country. Last Saturday a
Catholic priest was shot and
wounded in Brussels. Belgium, be-
cause he refused to join a funeral
procession in which the red flag of
Socialism was carried. Another
striking evidence that Socialism
would destroy not only the State.
but those who rejected their anti
Christian doctrines. Above all, the
workingman must beware the
Socialists. whose power means ruin.

GOOD ONE PUT OVER.

They say it is hard to fool the
Irish, but the Eagle Packet Com
pany, of st. Louis. through the con-
nivance OF the Captain and local
agent of the steamer Bald Eagle,
put one over on the Rev. Father Il.
ID. Hickey, pastor OF st. Norbert's
church at Hardin, ILL.,, when early
on a recent Sunday morning Father
Hickey found, TO his utter surprise
and Joy, a magnificent large bell Of
a thousand pounds weight which
they had quietly slipped up to the
church door with the aid of the crew
while Father was resting peacefully
on the arm of Morpheus. Needless
to say the members Of the church
we're as agreeably surprised when
they came for service. With the
bell was the request that every time
the bell rings the members OF the
parish think Of the steamer Bald
Eagle and the Eagle Packet Com
pany. Father Hickey on behalf OF
his people promised the request
would be kindly and gratefully COM
piled with.

BIRTH OF OUR LORD.

whether or not the birth of our
Lord really occurred on December
25 ancient authorities are not
agreed. Clement of Alexandria
mentions the opinion of some who
placed it on April 20, and of others
who thought it took place on May
20, while st. Epiphanius and Cassian
state that in Egypt Christ was be-
lieved to have been born on January
6. For long time the Greeks had
no special feast corresponding to
Christmas day, and merely commem-
Grated our Lords birth on the
Epiphany. st. Chrysostom, in a
Christmas sermon delivered at
Antioch in the year 3S6, says that
at is not ten years since this day
christmas day on December 25)
was clearly known to us, but it has
been familiar from the beginning to
those who dwell in the West. The
Romans, who have celebrated It for
a long time and from ancient tradi-
ton, have transmitted the knowledge
of it to u.s." st. Augustine gives
similar testimony as to the custom
of the Latin church. We may
therefore conclude that in the fourth
century Christmas day had been
celebrated from time immemorial in
the West, and about Chrysostom'
day it began to be observed in the
East; and it seems to have spread
rapidly there, as appears from the
writings of the two Gregories of
HaziaIzum and of Nyssa.

CHURCH AND BIBLE.

II the Bible is absolutely necessary
to the continuation of the Christian
religion. how can early Christianity
be explained? Then there was no
Bible. but the church continued to
grow. II the Bible were to be de-
stroyed tomorrow the church would
proceed. for our Lord has said that
He win be with her until the con-
summation OF the world. Thus
speaks the Catholic Sun. and certain
Il is that the truths set forth can not
