They returned into GaIiIee, to their own city of Nazareth. and the Child grew. and became strong full of wis dom; and the grace of God was in Him" Preaching at St. Patricks s church yesterday, the Sunday within the octave of Christmas, Rev J. H. Frederick took this text from the gos- pei for the day. Luke ii, 40. These few words are about all the scripture tells regarding the youth of the Saw four. the preacher said. Christ lived in obsCurity in the humble home with His Mother and Saint Joseph until the beginning Of His public teachings.
 But even in these meagre phrases is a question for us. Increasing in age, have we also increased in wisdom Have our acts been those which have manifested Gods grace in us? Saint Augustine says 1t Is not enough to re- frain from sin. if we do not also show progress in the ways of virtue. The importance of deciding this question was emphasized by the speaker

Jap Parties Formed About Men
Rather Than Principles.
Conditions Are Well Nigh InexpIicabIe
TO Many-Result is Considerable
Different Periods of
country's Political Progress.

Tokyo, Japan.-Japanese politics is
well nigh inexplicable to many per-
sons, especially occidentals. The sud
den and frequent changes of cabinets,
in part or in whole, are difficult to un-
derstand. And, while VIC can make
no claim to perfect understanding of
the mysteries, we may be able to
throw a little light on the subject.
In the first place, it should be kept
in mind that political parties in Japan
ere more personal than political Fac
lions and parties have formed around
men rather than measures, around
persons more than principles. The his
tory of political parties in New Japan
may be divided into five periods. as
follows;
S67-1SS2-Embryon period.
1SS2-1S90-O organizing period.
Developing period.
Observation-Disclosures period
1911-Predominant period
The chief political parties which
have been organized in Japan during
the past 80 years have all illustrated
the point just mentioned. The first
party in the field was the jiyuto, or
liberal party, which was organized by
Count (then Mr. Itagaki, and which
consisted largely Of his personal fol-
lowing. The next party was the
shimpoto, or progressive party,
which was started by Mr.. (now COUNT
Okuma and his friends. The chief diff
ference in these two parties, so far as
principles were concerned, was that
the liberals were more radical than
the prOgressivos; but the greater diff
ference was the personal one. In more
recent Geys it has been Ito and his
proteges who have dominated the
seiyukai. Small factions have rallied
around smaller men; while personal
considerations have largely caused
splits in factions and parties.

this feature is not unnatural surviv-
